Let you be a good grandson, you raise a group of banshees?

"Boy, you can't escape!" the old man grinned, "Just surrender!"

Lu Yuan's face was gloomy. It seemed that a fierce battle was inevitable today.

"Come on!" Lu Yuan shouted and took the initiative to attack the old man.

The two men engaged in a fierce fight in the palace. Although Lu Yuan was powerful, the old man was no ordinary man either. For a moment, it was difficult to tell who was the winner.

Just then, there was a sudden noise outside the palace.

"What's going on?" Lu Yuan was confused and stopped attacking.

The old man also stopped attacking and turned to look outside the palace.

A group of armored soldiers rushed into the palace and surrounded the two men.

"Who is it?" the old man shouted sternly.

"We are here to capture the evildoer on the orders of His Majesty!" the leading soldier shouted.

"Monster?" The old man sneered, "I am not a monster!"

"Humph! Whether he is a demon or not, we will find out when we get to see His Majesty!" The soldier snorted coldly and waved his hand, "Capture him!"

The soldiers rushed forward and surrounded the old man.

Seeing this, Lu Yuan was secretly delighted, thinking someone was coming to rescue him. He took the opportunity to slip away, but was stopped by the soldiers.

"Are you also an accomplice?" the soldier asked.

Lu Yuan quickly explained: "I'm not, I was captured by this old guy."

The soldiers looked at him doubtfully.

Just then, a middle-aged man in a dragon robe walked in.

"Your Majesty!" The soldiers saluted quickly.

The middle-aged man nodded, looked at Lu Yuan, and asked, "Who are you?"

"My name is Lu Yuan." Lu Yuan replied quickly.

"Lu Yuan?" The middle-aged man frowned, "You are the one..."

"Lu Yuan?" The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes and looked him up and down. "Are you the lunatic who dared to refuse my marriage proposal?"

Lu Yuan's heart skipped a beat. It turned out that the person in front of him was the current emperor. He knelt down quickly and said, "Your Majesty, I have no intention of disobeying your order, but..."

"Just what?" The middle-aged man interrupted him in a bad tone, "Are you still going to say that my daughter is not worthy of you?"

Lu Yuan's forehead was covered with sweat. Why was the old emperor so unreasonable? He quickly said, "Your Majesty has misunderstood. I have absolutely no such intention. It's just that I'm already engaged and I really can't accept your Majesty's kindness."

"Engagement?" The middle-aged man sneered, "What engagement? How come I don't know about it?"

Lu Yuan said with a stiff face, "My fiancée and I have been childhood sweethearts and have already decided to spend our lives together. But my fiancée is seriously ill and needs a method called the 'Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady Sutra' to cure her. That's why I went around looking for her and accidentally came here."

He deliberately recited the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady Sutra to see the old emperor's reaction.

Sure enough, when the middle-aged man heard the words "Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady Sutra", his face changed slightly. He pondered for a moment and asked, "Are you talking about the legendary Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady Sutra that can make people immortal?"

Lu Yuan was secretly delighted. It seemed that the old emperor was also interested in the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady Sutra. He nodded quickly and said, "That's right! My fiancée is terminally ill, and only the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady Sutra can save her life. Please, Your Majesty, show mercy and give me the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady Sutra!"

A trace of greed flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes. He pondered for a moment and said, "Well, considering your devotion, I will make an exception this time. However, this Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady Scripture is a royal secret treasure. How can it be easily shown to others? If you want it, you must agree to one of my conditions."

Lu Yuan cursed in his heart, this old fox really has bad intentions. On the surface, he said respectfully: "Your Majesty, please tell me, as long as I can do it, I will do it even if I die!" "Okay!" The middle-aged man laughed, "My condition is very simple, that is... marry my daughter!"

Lu Yuan almost vomited blood. This old guy was really haunting him! He suppressed his anger and said, "Your Majesty, I already have a fiancée and I really can't marry someone else."

"Humph! Do you think my daughter can be married to anyone?" The middle-aged man snorted coldly, "My daughter is a gifted daughter of heaven, and many princes and nobles dream of marrying her! If you don't agree, forget about getting the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady Sutra!"

Lu Yuan's face was gloomy. The old emperor was clearly trying to force him to submit. He quickly thought of a countermeasure in his mind, and suddenly an idea came to him. He said, "Your Majesty, I am not unwilling to marry the princess, but my fiancée is seriously ill and will not live long. I must cure her illness first before considering other things."

The middle-aged man frowned and said, "Do you really have a fiancée?"

"It's absolutely true!" Lu Yuan said confidently, "I can take Your Majesty to see him."

The middle-aged man groaned for a moment and said, "Well, I will trust you for once. If you dare to deceive me, I will tear you into pieces!"

"I dare not!" Lu Yuan said hurriedly.

"Okay, then lead the way!" said the middle-aged man, waving his hand.

Lu Yuan was secretly delighted. It seemed that the old man had taken the bait. He led the middle-aged man and a group of soldiers out of the palace and headed out of the city.

Along the way, Lu Yuan was thinking about how to get out of this situation. He didn't want to really marry that princess, and he didn't want to hand over the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady Scripture to this greedy emperor.

As they walked, they came to a dense forest.

"This is it." Lu Yuan pointed to the depths of the forest and said, "My fiancée lives inside."

The middle-aged man looked at him suspiciously and said, "Are you sure?"

"Of course I am sure!" Lu Yuan said affirmatively, "Your Majesty, please follow me."

He led the middle-aged man and the soldiers into the forest.

The forest is filled with towering ancient trees that block out the sun, making it look eerie and scary.

The middle-aged man felt vaguely uneasy in his heart, he always felt that something was wrong.

At this moment, a cold wind suddenly blew from the depths of the forest.

"Who is it?" the middle-aged man shouted vigilantly.

A mysterious man in a black robe and a conical hat walked out of the woods.

"Who are you?" the middle-aged man asked again.

The man in black robe didn't say anything, but slowly took off his hat.

A beautiful face appeared in front of everyone.

The middle-aged man and the soldiers were stunned.

"So beautiful!" the middle-aged man couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Your Majesty, she is my fiancée." Lu Yuan introduced from the side.

The middle-aged man's eyes suddenly widened. He never thought that Lu Yuan's fiancée was so beautiful!
"You...are you really willing to marry this boy?" the middle-aged man asked in disbelief.

The black-robed woman smiled and said, "Of course, he is my sweetheart."

The middle-aged man suddenly felt as if he was struck by lightning. He never thought that he would be fooled by a kid! (End of this chapter)
