Is there any hope for me, who proposed to the world-destroying empress at the very beginning?

"That's naturally because... well, you wouldn't understand this anyway, but just remember that it can save your life if necessary. Whether you want it or not is up to you."

Su Liang frowned. Although the system was unreliable, he couldn't miss something that could save his life.

He examined the jade pendant in his palm again, and a warm feeling arose from it.

After carefully putting the jade pendant away, Su Liang left the stone chamber.

After it was re-placed in the national treasury, the secret door closed automatically.

Su Liang glanced around the main hall and then walked towards the outside of the national treasury.

The gate was opened a crack, and Su Liang walked out of the treasury. The two imperial guards did not come forward to greet him.

There was an old man in a gray robe with a smile on his face. He looked Su Liang up and down and then smiled again.

"You're Su Liang? Not bad, not bad!"

"I am a protector of the Great Qin Dynasty, and I have come here today to see you."

Now that we've met, please pay your respects. I'll reluctantly accept you as my disciple.

The protector of the Great Qin Dynasty—that title alone is impressive.

Having heard of this, Su Liang naturally treated the gray-robed old man with great respect. If the man in front of him were a fraud, would the Imperial Guards standing outside the national treasury allow him to spout nonsense?

But Su Liang never considered becoming someone else's disciple, not even if the person in front of him was a protector of the Great Qin.

He exchanged pleasantries with the protectors, raised his head, and said with a smile.

"Sir, I have no intention of becoming your apprentice at the moment. I'm sorry to disappoint you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Liang was about to walk past the gray-robed old man and head into the distance.

But how could the old man in the gray robe watch the duck that was about to be eaten fly away?

He grabbed Su Liang's wrist and forced an extremely ugly smile as he spoke.

"Young Su, don't be impatient. Do you know how many people in the whole world are willing to become my disciple?"

"And you are fortunate enough to be chosen by me. I promise you that as long as you bow down and acknowledge this master today, there will be few people in the entire Great Qin Dynasty who will dare to make a move against you."

"Now there aren't many people who dare to mess with me, which has disappointed the old gentleman."

Su Liang withdrew his arm and shook his head at the gray-robed old man.

Seeing that Su Liang was unwilling to easily back down, the gray-robed old man could only follow behind him.

He then began to recount the many benefits of becoming his disciple.

But as she continued talking, she realized that what she was saying didn't seem to have much appeal to Su Liang.

Su Liang has an imperial marriage agreement bestowed by the Emperor. All the things the gray-robed old man could say are now things that Su Liang can do with a wave of his hand. Why bother with anything else?

Moreover, Su Liang also has the system's assistance, so whether or not there is a protector in front of him doesn't make much difference.

But the gray-robed old man was still unwilling to give up. Just as he was about to continue persuading Su Liang, a graceful figure appeared in front of him on the main road.

With skin as white as snow and dressed in a bright red dress, she looked like a fairy who had fallen to earth.

It was none other than Princess Jun Ruoxue of the Great Qin Dynasty.

Jun Ruoxue seemed to be standing there waiting for someone, her gaze sweeping around blankly.

Just then, upon seeing Su Liang, a hint of joy appeared deep in her eyes.

"Brother-in-law, I've been waiting for you for so long."

"Oh dear, isn't this the protector? What are you doing following my brother-in-law?"

"Greetings, little princess. I followed Su boy because I wanted to take him as my disciple, but Su boy refused. So I can only... hehe."

The old man in the gray robe was a little embarrassed by what he was saying.

In the entire Qin Dynasty, Su Liang was the first person he had to beg to be taken as a disciple.

Unfortunately, with Jun Ruoxue's interruption, it seems there's no hope now.

Without any choice,

"Since the little princess has made an appointment with Young Master Su, then I will put my matter aside for now."

After the old man in gray robes left, the little princess looked at Su Liang with a smile.

"Brother-in-law, since I helped you out of that predicament, are you finally willing to go out with me?"

"I just went to the Misty Rain Pavilion to enjoy the view."

"Don't agree. This girl is definitely up to no good. Be careful, or she'll eat you up and leave you with nothing but bones."

The system hurriedly issued a reminder.

Su Liang was unaware that Jun Ruoxue was waiting there intentionally or unintentionally.

Judging from her appearance, she must have been standing here for quite some time.

Regardless, Su Liang couldn't very well refuse his fiancée's younger sister's invitation repeatedly.

Moreover, the gentle and sensible young woman in front of me is nowhere near as vicious as the system described!

That's ridiculous. She can't possibly stab me, can she?

Su Liang nodded and accepted the little princess's invitation.

The two walked one after the other towards the top of the Misty Rain Pavilion.

They remained silent the whole way until they stood atop the Misty Rain Pavilion, gazing at the vast and boundless imperial city of the Great Qin Dynasty, when Jun Ruoxue suddenly spoke.

“My sister used to bring me here to enjoy the scenery.”

"My sister was only eleven or twelve years old at that time, but she was already very mature."

Su Liang assumed that Jun Ruoxue was speaking from her own feelings, so he did not interrupt.

But what he heard next suddenly took a different turn, as Jun Ruoxue continued.

"My sister is amazing, incredibly amazing, far more amazing than anyone could imagine."

“I admire her very much and regard her as my life goal, even though my relationship with my sister has encountered some minor problems.”

"But that's not a reason for her to bring you into the spotlight!"

"Ok?"

These unexpected words caused Su Liang's expression to change slightly.

That sounds a bit odd.

(This concludes this month's updates. If there are no major surprises next month, there will still be two updates per day. As for extra chapters, we haven't decided yet. It seems that they will be extra chapters for monthly votes and for Emperor Yan.)

Emperor Yan dares not hope for more. Perhaps we can see how many votes you all can give as encouragement tomorrow? In short, please continue to support this young seedling!

Chapter Thirty: The Leader of the Righteous Path, Orthopedics Supreme (Seeking Votes)

Followed by.

“I made a promise with her that we would be best friends for life and never be separated.”

"What's more... it was a random guy like you who stole it from me!"

As Jun Ruoxue spoke, she turned to look at Su Liang. Her eyes were strange, gleaming with a dark, eerie light, which made Su Liang involuntarily take a step back.

"You wouldn't happen to be... a sister complex, would you?"

Su Liang asked, his eyes narrowing as he looked at Jun Ruoxue with an extremely strange expression.

I never imagined that there would be such unspeakable (orthopedic) things in the royal family.

Or perhaps it's just that the little princess herself has always believed this, and that it has nothing to do with Jun Hongyan?

Even her own queenly empress wasn't unresponsive when being embraced.

While comforting himself, Su Liang tried to find an answer in Jun Ruoxue's eyes.

"My sister is so beautiful, anyone would like her. What's wrong with me liking her?"

Jun Ruoxue was still smiling until this point, but her smile gradually turned cold, and her words became harsh.

"But you want to take my sister away, and you are the biggest obstacle between my sister and me right now. I have already made up my mind. If I kill you, my sister will definitely come back to my side."

As Jun Ruoxue spoke, she drew a wood-chopping knife.

Don't ask how it was pulled out; the color of this wood-chopping knife is as cold as Jun Ruoxue's current gaze.

This is a classic case of turning pink into black!?

Jun Ruoxue took a step forward, her excitement becoming increasingly difficult to conceal.

She gritted her teeth and roared at Su Liang.

"I'm going to cut off pieces of your flesh, one by one, so my sister can see that this is what she is."

The punishment for ignoring me is that whoever she likes, I will kill!

No sooner had she finished speaking than Jun Ruoxue lunged forward, thrusting her short knife toward Su Liang's chest.

Su Liang realized what was happening the moment Jun Ruoxue took out the dagger.

With the dagger close at hand, he simply raised his hand and firmly grasped Jun Ruoxue's arm in his palm.

With another slight tremor, the short knife in Jun Ruoxue's hand fell to the ground.

But as Jun Ruoxue's body continued to lunge forward, Su Liang's other hand touched Jun Ruoxue's shoulder, causing her body to turn around so that her back was facing Su Liang, and her back was pressed tightly against Su Liang's chest.

For a moment, Jun Ruoxue was completely unable to move.

The system's voice rang in Su Liang's ears again.

"Look, this woman has finally shown her true colors."

"To tell you the truth, this woman is indeed extraordinary. She is no less than the Empress Demon Queen in your family."

"Because she is the one we despise the most, the future leader of the righteous path, the first pillar, and the unparalleled hope revered as the light of the righteous path!"

"But don't think too highly of her. This girl is no pushover. She only became the leader of the righteous path because her sister became the World-Destroying Empress."

"Possessing the Heavenly Phoenix Body, he has undergone nine cycles of Nirvana without perishing. He has had a love-hate relationship with that Empress more than ten times, but he has never once laid a hand on her."

"On the contrary, countless people from both the righteous and demonic paths have been harmed because of this, yet they are still revered as saints."
