Madam, please listen to my explanation.

Chapter 110 Old Lu! Is this your way of being a teacher?

As Xu Jinhuan landed, everyone's hearts finally settled down.

Yun Ci gazed at that somewhat desolate figure, hesitating several times as if he wanted to speak, wanting to move and come to the other person's side, but ultimately he couldn't take that step.

She threw away the cap in her hand and silently took off the official robe of the Mirror Master.

The bronze-colored mirror fell to the ground with a crisp 'clang'.

So annoying.
That shameless Zhuang Yuning was bad enough, but now there's suddenly an Empress and a Grand Tutor.
They are all such dazzling individuals, what do I have to compete with them?
Godfather, Yun Ci is going to disappoint you.

She shook her head, and in the end could only turn around alone and walk sadly toward Floating Cloud Cottage.

The shattered jade once again transformed into a stream of light and entered Xu Jinhuan's sea of ​​consciousness, but he felt no joy at all, his brows furrowed tightly.

The person in his arms had lowered eyes and a cold body.

If it weren't for the terrifying demonic energy still coursing along her pale skin, Xu Jinhuan would almost have thought that she was already dead.

"Hey, don't die!"

Xu Jinhuan called out softly, momentarily at a loss for what to do.

With Ruoxi having successfully ascended to the throne, the chaos in the capital can be considered to have come to a temporary end.

But this person, who has always been her greatest support, and even if the plan fails and she ends up losing everything, she should still be the only one to survive.
How did it end up like this without me even noticing?
Behind them, the illusory image of the Azure Phoenix reappeared and took the initiative to approach and observe.

Xu Jinhuan immediately grasped at a straw and asked:
"Oh, right, Xiaoqing! You just ate so much, you must be tired, could you give me another leaf?"

'Pah, what a scumbag! He just satisfied his lover, and now he's thinking about other women!'

Despite her cursing, a misty leaf emerged from between Xiao Qing's eyebrows, gently landing on Gu Niaoniao and slowly seeping into her body.

"Hmm, enjoy yourself." Qingluan's figure faded considerably in an instant, and she said softly, "This is really tiring, and I seem to have remembered some strange things."
You know how it is, when people eat too much, they get really sleepy. I need to rest now, don't bother me unless it's absolutely necessary.

A third of the leaf had entered Gu Niaoniao's body, and Xu Jinhuan could clearly feel that the body temperature of the person in his arms had risen slightly.

Even her exquisitely beautiful face gradually began to regain some color.

'As expected of Xiaoqing, she's still very reliable in crucial moments.'

Xu Jinhuan had just breathed a sigh of relief when, in the next moment, Gu Niaoniao, who was still unconscious, suddenly frowned and her face turned ashen white again.

A trickle of black blood fell from his lips, like a long crack suddenly appearing on a fine piece of porcelain.

how so.
Looking down, one could see several dark, bloody holes on the other person's snow-white neck and shoulders.

A stream of demonic energy surged out from it, only to be forced back by the immense life force.

The two seemed to be using Gu Niaoniao's body as their battlefield, engaging in a tug-of-war of evenly matched forces.
boom!
Not far away, a hole suddenly appeared in the ground, and a small orange figure ran quickly to Xu Jinhuan's feet, its fluffy head affectionately rubbing against his trouser leg.

"Meow-"

Xu Jinhuan lowered his head and looked coldly at the ground.

The orange cat at my feet rolled over, revealing its snow-white belly, its two big eyes blinking as it stared at me.

It didn't open its mouth, but it kept making a 'purring' sound from its neck.

"Wu Yao!"

Seeing that the culprit was not only alive but also dared to blatantly provoke him, Xu Jinhuan narrowed his eyes, and an uncontrollable killing intent instantly enveloped the surroundings, startling the officials in the distance who couldn't help but shrink back.
"Alright, don't bother with that beast. Its brain is already broken. Let's keep it; it might come in handy."

Zhou Jin, carrying someone on her shoulder, strode forward.

Although it didn't seem to move quickly, it had already landed beside Xu Jinhuan in the blink of an eye.

He casually tossed the person on his shoulder to the ground, and without saying a word, stretched out his finger and placed it on Gu Niaoniao's right wrist, closing his eyes to sense it.

"Oh, by the way, when I arrived, this woman was fighting with that fat cat, but she just passed out and is fine."

Looking up, Zhuang Yuning's face was rosy and her breathing was even, as if she was alright.

Despite her suspicions, Xu Jinhuan dared not disturb Zhou Jin at this moment.

When that cat demon burrowed underground, it was clearly at its last gasp. With Zhuang Yuning's abilities, there's no reason she shouldn't have been able to defeat it.
After a long while, Zhou Jin finally opened his eyes.

"Senior! How is Niao Niao?"

"Not good."

Zhou Jin's expression was solemn. He sighed and said, "Judging from the aura, the creature this cat demon was previously communicating with seems to be one of the ancient great demons, the eight-headed, eight-faced giant serpent 'Yamata'."
How troublesome is the venom of a seventh-grade snake? If Niao Niao had not suffered damage to her heart meridian from peeking into destiny, perhaps she could have tried to remove it.

The snake venom has now penetrated quite deep into the body; it's fortunate that he didn't die on the spot!

Currently, although there is an extremely vigorous external life force constantly repairing the flesh and blood eroded by snake venom, it ultimately has its limits.

Once this life force is exhausted, the deadly toxin will rapidly spread throughout the body. At that point, even if Master were to make an exception and leave the coffin, it would be useless!

"That idiot. She must know snake venom is deadly, yet she refuses to disobey Zhao Wuji's orders."
That's absolutely stupid!

Upon hearing the words "his master," Xu Jinhuan gritted his teeth in hatred.
"Fool! Idiot! What nonsense about the four disciples of the Sword Saint? He's nothing but a watchdog protecting the Great Yan for Lu Yuan!"

Boom——!
Upon hearing this, the sky above changed color!

The sea of ​​clouds surged and blocked out the sunlight, forming a huge spiral in the sky above Kyoto.

At that moment, everyone in the arena felt as if an invisible eye was watching them from the pitch-black hole above their heads.

The unprecedented sense of oppression forced everyone to involuntarily lower their heads.

Did I say something wrong?

Xu Jinhuan gritted his teeth, mobilized all the power in his dantian, and forcefully raised his head to glare at the heavens above, meeting the gaze of the unknown being.

The image of that simple-looking scholar in a blue robe naturally came to mind.

Is such blind loyalty truly what this woman desires?

Or, under your deliberate influence, did she truly know what she wanted?

What a fine Grand Preceptor of the Great Yan Kingdom!
Turn your hands to become clouds, turn your hands to become rain!
He ascended to sainthood at a young age, and it has been more than two hundred years since then!

Not only does it possess an almost endless lifespan, but it is also capable of anything, from ascending to the heavens to descending to the earth.
"That's really... damn impressive!"

An indescribable pressure descended from above, as if trying to forcefully overwhelm the only person who dared to question him.

Xu Jinhuan's bones creaked and groaned, and even though his feet were pressed into the ground, he still stood there stubbornly, refusing to back down.

He grinned, two streaks of blood seeping from the corner of his lips, and said with a smile:
"I feel like she's a pathetic wretch without a soul."

One by one, they either ended up separated from their wives and children, their families destroyed, or they became mentally impaired.
"Old Lu! Is this your way of teaching?"

Xu Jinhuan's words echoed endlessly in the sky.

On Qiyun Altar Square, everyone, including An Qing, felt a chill run down their spines!
'Good heavens! This is outrageous!'

Even among the ancient demons of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, whose mere thoughts could shatter mountains and rivers, none dared to address that person in such a way!

The dark clouds were getting lower and lower, almost within reach.

Everyone felt it simultaneously, as if fine electric currents were coursing through their bodies.

Under such divine might, they couldn't help but feel their hair stand on end; some of the more timid ones had even wet their pants.
Zhao Ruoxi, who had just come to her senses, looked at that stubborn figure and sighed.

'You scoundrel, you're still the same as when we first met—you never fail to say something shocking!'

Lightning snakes danced across the sky, as if hundreds of bolts of lightning were about to sweep across the land beneath their feet, leaving a trail of blood.

Zhao Ruoxi ignored him and slowly landed beside Xu Jinhuan.

She wanted to grab the man's hand, but he was holding another woman in his arms, so she simply put her hand on his shoulder.

They also raised their heads, gazing at the thick, menacing thunderclouds.

Although Zhao Ruoxi did not speak, she demonstrated her determination to stand with him through thick and thin with her actions!
Her phoenix eyes narrowed slightly.

In an instant, a dazzling golden light shot straight into the sky, tearing a gap in the darkness above their heads!
Yu Xiao cheered and roared with joy.

With a determined look in her eyes, Zhao Ruoxi frantically mobilized the power within her body, preparing to swing her sword once more to sever the darkness above her head!

"Ugh"

A faint sigh rang in everyone's ears.

The next moment, the long-awaited sunlight finally shone down again.

The pressure that was about to crush everyone gradually subsided.

They looked up blankly, only to see clouds drifting across the sky and a gentle autumn breeze blowing. It was as if everything that had just happened had never occurred.

The pressure vanished instantly, and Xu Jinhuan's steps faltered, nearly causing him to fall on the spot.

Fortunately, Zhao Ruoxi, who was beside him, caught his arm in time. At the same time, a continuous stream of dragon energy flowed into his body through his palm, beginning to repair his damaged internal organs and bones.

"Ruoxi."

Zhao Ruoxi smiled faintly, "It's alright, don't talk, just focus on healing."

Surprisingly, she wasn't jealous. Instead, she placed a hand on Xu Jinhuan's back, gently calming his disordered breathing.
"Don't worry, there will definitely be a way."

"Kid, who did you just say was separated from their wife and children, whose family was destroyed?" Zhou Jin clicked his tongue. "But I didn't realize you had such guts."

He glanced at the sky and smiled meaningfully.

That aura just now was unmistakably Master's!

However, the human race has flourished for thousands of years, and what kind of people haven't they had?

This kid is definitely not the first to dare to speak ill of his master behind his back!
When have I ever heard of anything like today, where someone personally sent down a wisp of divine thought and even nearly killed someone?
When you reach that level of understanding, you're bound to have some awareness of these kinds of things.

Does this mean that every time someone mentions it, you should secretly eavesdrop to see if they say anything inappropriate?
What a joke!
Based on his understanding of his master, the other party most likely wouldn't care about these things at all.

What just happened is quite intriguing.
Interesting, so interesting!
On the other hand, Zhao Ruoxi's series of actions really surprised the officials watching!
The slightly more robust military officers, including Chang Wei, quickly and spontaneously stood in front to block the foreign envoys' view.

Your Majesty is confused!
The fact that the two kissed passionately on the battlefield in the western frontier, seemingly oblivious to everyone else, was deliberately suppressed by those with ulterior motives, but it ultimately could not escape the ears of these people with connections to the highest levels.

They were prepared for this, but... that's all in the past!

The former princess is now the emperor.
In public, to be so intimate with a nobody from the martial arts world
How dignified!

It's not just a matter of etiquette. The key issue is that the other party just made some rude remarks, and someone with ulterior motives might take advantage of it.
The Empress of Great Yan intends to oppose Lu Yuan.

Once this label is attached, it's definitely not a trivial matter.
After all, he was the ancestor revered by all the people of the Qin land and all the kingdoms!

He is the god who led humanity out of its status as 'livestock' and enabled it to stand on this earth!
Once this rumor spreads, the entire Yan Kingdom will likely be in a precarious situation once again.

Even if the other party did a good job protecting you, this is still unacceptable!

"Ahem. Your Majesty, I, Xu Xinnian, pay my respects!"

"I am here to see you, Your Majesty!"

Led by Xu Xinnian, all the officials knelt down.

Zhao Ruoxi turned around angrily and looked at her coldly.

Xu Xinnian felt the murderous gaze, but remained calm and composed, saying neither servile nor arrogant:
"Your Majesty! Although Your Majesty has now ascended the throne, there are still many formalities that need to be followed."

Man-made disasters have just broken out in various parts of Yanjing, the people urgently need to be appeased, and the palace is in dire need of reconstruction.

Moreover, as the supreme ruler, it seems inappropriate for you to be wearing such blood-stained armor. I urge you to accompany this old minister to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to restore order to the court and prioritize the greater good!

"Your Majesty, I second that proposal!" all the officials said in unison.

"What a fine Chief Minister Xu!"

Even when the late emperor was on the throne, factional strife was still rampant. Now, it has truly opened my eyes!
Do you not know the importance of the Imperial Advisor to the Great Yan?
Or is it because I am a woman that you can collude with me, showing no respect for your sovereign and father, and committing insubordination?

Disrespectful to the emperor and father, and insubordinate to superiors!

Upon hearing this, even Xu Xinnian broke out in a cold sweat.

"Your Majesty, I am terrified!"

"If Your Majesty..."

Seeing Zhao Ruoxi in a dilemma, Xu Jinhuan almost blurted out something out of habit.

In order to avoid adding any more trouble at this critical moment, I reluctantly changed my words.

"They are right."

"Xu Jinhuan!"

"Although you have ascended the throne and become emperor in front of all the officials, you still need to announce it to the world and rectify the court."

Let's go do what we need to do first.
"Leave the matter of the Imperial Advisor to me and Senior Zhou."
