My cultivation disguise has been exposed by Xiao Sizi.

Just when the father and son were being kind and the atmosphere was incredibly harmonious.

A clear, childlike voice, both extremely jarring and full of anticipation, suddenly rang out in the main hall.

"Wow--!"

The little girl, who had been hiding in the Empress's arms, jumped three feet high and leaped out with joy.

The little girl's big eyes sparkled with immense admiration as she hugged Li Chen's leg tightly.

"Brother Sixteen is amazing! Brother Sixteen is the greatest hero in the world!"

Sizi raised her delicate, pretty face and began her relentless pursuit.

"Mother has agreed! Sixteenth Brother is so capable, he'll definitely be able to protect Si Zi, right?"

"I want to go play too! I'm going back to pack my little bag right away!"

Seeing his sister's self-righteous attitude, Li Chen refused without hesitation.

"no."

Li Chen ruthlessly pulled the small pendant hanging on his leg off.

His tone was very firm.

"The Buddhist realm is not an amusement park. In a battle of magic, things can change in an instant. If I am held back by a powerful enemy, who will care about you?"

"With your short legs, you can't even run fast. Going there would only cause trouble. Stay in Chang'an City obediently, and your sixteenth brother will bring you something delicious when he comes back."

"No! No way!"

The little ox got anxious, pouted, and once again used its tattling technique.

She turned her head and looked longingly at Empress Zhangsun, stretching out her two small hands.

"Mother, look at Sixteenth Brother, he's bullying people again!"

Li Chen rolled his eyes, secretly chuckling to himself.

You little rascal, you've already used that trick.

How could Mother allow you to act recklessly in such a serious matter involving personal safety?

Li Chen turned around and looked at Empress Zhangsun with great determination, preparing to persuade this playful little tyrant together with his mother.

however.

Just when Li Chen thought Empress Zhangsun would sternly refuse Si Zi,

Empress Zhangsun looked at her little daughter, who was snuggling in her arms, and her eyes suddenly became full of doting affection.

She gently rubbed Sizi's little head, then raised her head and looked leisurely at Li Chen.

The Empress of the Tang Dynasty, with a faint smile playing on her lips, uttered a startling statement:

"Chen'er, since Sizi is so eager to go..."

"Then this time, you should take her with you."

As soon as those words were spoken...

The certainty on Li Chen's face instantly froze.

He was as if struck by a bolt of lightning from the heavens, frozen in place.

My brain froze, and my face was filled with disbelief.

What?!

Sending a five-year-old to relax in the enemy's rear?!

Mother, what kind of joke is this?!

"Should we bring the rhinoceros?"

Li Chen's eyes widened, as if he had heard something out of the blue.

He glanced at his gentle-looking mother, then turned to look at his father, the emperor, who sat calmly on the dragon throne.

What kind of bewitching spell has bewitched the Emperor and Empress of the Tang Dynasty?

Seeing his son's exaggerated reaction, Li Shimin finally couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Laughter echoed in the Lizheng Hall, revealing the smug satisfaction of an old fox who had succeeded.

"Chen'er, do you think Guanyinbi and I would joke about the safety of a Tang Dynasty princess?"

Li Shimin stood up and walked to Sizi's side.

Those large hands gently ruffled the little girl's hair.

"The treasures your sister possesses could buy your entire Qin Prince's mansion several hundred times over!"

Li Shimin lowered his voice, his tone carrying a hint of arrogance and pride.

"I had Li Tai, that brat, long ago, work with the Tang Dynasty's national fortune formation to carve a top-level forced teleportation array into the Si Zi's natal jade pendant."

At this point, a domineering air of looking down upon the world flashed in the eyes of the Tang emperor.

"As long as the ox encounters any threat that could be fatal."

"Even if a peak Nascent Soul stage old monster were to personally intervene, this formation would ignore any spatial blockade and instantly teleport her to my side!"

Li Shimin turned his head and patted Li Chen on the shoulder.

"The true essence of the Western Buddhist Kingdom is concentrated in the Little Thunderclap Temple in the Central Region."

"Those peripheral small worlds are nothing more than scraps used by them to keep ordinary believers."

"The guardians there are definitely not some earth-shatteringly powerful beings."

"As long as you don't take Sizi to cause trouble in the Central Region, she's safer in those outer areas than she is in Chang'an City."

Upon hearing this explanation...

Li Chen finally realized what was going on.

Good heavens, so this little girl has an invincible recall scroll that ignores all control skills!

No wonder the Empress Dowager agreed so readily.

Now that my sister's safety is absolutely guaranteed.

Li Chen's mind immediately started working.

He rubbed his hands together and approached Li Shimin with a big smile.

He extended a hand quite naturally.

With your palm facing up, rub your thumb and forefinger back and forth.

"Father, since my sister has such a powerful trump card to protect herself..."

Li Chen winked at Old Li, giving him a frantic hint.

"And what about mine?"

"Your subject is, after all, the Prince of Qin of the Great Tang Dynasty. This trip deep behind enemy lines will be fraught with danger."

"You don't need to give me too much, just give me ten or eight of these forced teleportation arrays, I'm not picky."

Looking at Li Chen's self-righteous and arrogant face as he demanded the magic weapon.

The smile on Li Shimin's face vanished instantly.

Instead, there was an undisguised and intense disdain.

He took a half-step back as if he had seen something dirty.

"Your trump card for survival?"

The Tang emperor sneered and looked his slippery son up and down.

"Bah! As the saying goes, evil deeds live on for a thousand years."

"With all your wicked schemes, you should be thanking your lucky stars if you don't go around harming others!"

"Besides, you're already at the Nascent Soul stage, what kind of life-saving trump card do you need? How old are you? How dare you sponge off your parents? I despise you!"

Li Shimin impatiently waved his sleeve, as if shooing away flies.

"Ten or eight more? I think it's because they've offended you that I need to set up a few life-saving formations!"

"Get out of my way! Don't get in my way!"

He was so ruthlessly rejected by Lao Li, and even mocked.

Li Chen was stunned.

He maintained his outstretched hand gesture, feeling the overwhelming double standards and bias.

His chest heaved violently.

Good guy!

My daughter is my precious darling, armed to the teeth.

If the son goes, he will be a scourge that will live on for a thousand years, left to fend for himself.

"Old Deng!"

Li Chen was so angry that he stopped calling him "Father Emperor" and instead pointed directly at Li Shimin's nose and shouted.

"You daughter-obsessed, sexist old man! You double standard!"

"You're something else! You forced me into this!"

"What? You want to rebel?"

Li Shimin's eyes widened, and the aura of an emperor instantly emanated from him.

"You just wait!"

Li Chen gritted his teeth and uttered these harsh words.

He didn't even bother with formalities, and angrily flicked his sleeves.

He turned around and strode out of the Lizheng Hall.

Watching Li Chen's furious departure, Li Shimin felt not only no anger, but rather a great sense of satisfaction.

Finally, I managed to turn the tables on this kid.
