Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 2240: Chapter 2239: Adorable Du Xi

”Young Master.”

The old man said solemnly, ”Su Baliu, we are not afraid, and Phoenix Sect, we are not afraid either.”

”But you saw the fate of the Ancestor Emperor of Silver Sea. That Lord Holy Emperor, for the sake of Phoenix Sect, dared to move even Heavenly Emperor Realm. What about us? It’s not the thief we’re afraid of, but the thief thinking about us!”

”If you stay inside the Qing Emperor Sect all the time, you might be safe. But once you go out, there’s no guarantee that Lord Holy Emperor won’t act against you. After all, you have... attempted to assassinate her brother before! With the eccentric temperament of Lord Holy Emperor, she might not easily forget about this.”

”Moreover, that Su Baliu takes revenge for the smallest grievances, as can be seen from the affair with the Ancestor Emperor of Silver Sea. If he whispers a few more exaggerated words by the ear of Lord Holy Emperor, then your safety... it would really be hard to say!”

The more Lin Jian listened, the more grim his face became.

He knew all this, didn’t he?

With the methods and power of Lord Holy Emperor, if she wants to act against him, it would only be a matter of an instant.

What can the twelve Ancestor Emperors of Qing Emperor Sect do? Can they compare to Lord Holy Emperor?

Even if Illusion Clear Ancestor Emperor intervenes, I’m afraid he cannot protect himself!

For now, the only plan is to yield to Su Baliu, at least from a principled standpoint, it can make some sense.

”Very well.”

Lin Jian took a deep breath and said, ”Isn’t the Ancestor Emperor of Silver Sea going to give Spirit Crystals to Su Baliu as compensation soon? Prepare some gifts, let him take them over, and say they are from me, Lin Jian.”

”Young Master.”

The old man said solemnly, ”In my opinion, it is most appropriate for you to go personally. After all, this is a matter of attitude.”

”Of course, you need not worry about safety on the way. Our Qing Emperor Sect’s Starry Battleship goes through a special transmission channel. Even if Lord Holy Emperor truly has murderous intent against you, she wouldn’t destroy that transmission channel, otherwise, what makes her different from that Extraterritorial Demon?”

”Once at Phoenix Sect, you must strive to endure, no matter what Su Baliu says, just pretend you haven’t heard anything.”

”As the saying goes, the smiling face is not beaten with a hand. Given your status, Su Baliu should still give you some face.”

”Of course, if you can...”

The old man paused here.

”Can what?” Lin Jian frowned and asked.

”If you can bring Illusion Clear Ancestor Emperor’s decree to Phoenix Sect, it would be better.”

The old man said, ”During the Heavenly Talent Competition, Illusion Clear Ancestor Emperor had shown goodwill to Su Baliu. If you bring the emperor’s decree, Su Baliu, considering the emperor, shouldn’t make things too difficult for you.”

”Besides, if Lord Holy Emperor is still in Phoenix Sect, even if she does have murderous intent against you, with the decree of the emperor present, she would also need to think carefully.”

Hearing this, Lin Jian’s expression was uncertain.

A moment later, he took a deep breath and nodded, ”Very well, let’s do as you said, I’ll set off immediately to ask Father for a decree.”

...

Divine Dream Sect, inside a certain room.

”Wow!!!”

Du Xi’s beautiful eyes were wide open, filled with little stars.

”Uncle Wang, did I hear wrong? Say it again, I want to hear it, I want to hear it!”

”Hehe...”

Standing in front of Du Xi was a middle-aged man, looking at Du Xi’s delighted expression, he couldn’t help but shake his head with a wry smile.

”Miss, you heard correctly. That Lord Holy Emperor is indeed Su Baliu’s sister, and moreover... Aunt Su Qing.”

”Yay!”

Du Xi jumped up directly, her pretty face full of excitement.

”This is great, I want to see if old Du Tianlin still dares to oppose this marriage!”

”My vision is not as poor as his, just looking at the present, not the future, now the old fellow must be regretting!”

”Cough, cough!”

Uncle Wang coughed violently a few times and said in a low voice, ”Miss, the Sect Master is your father, it’s better not to call him an old fellow, old guy...”

”Tch, who makes him treat me like this?”

Du Xi waved her little fists, humming, ”What nonsense Immortal Sovereign Pavilion, what nonsense Xie Tianyi, compared to Lord Holy Emperor, what does Immortal Sovereign Pavilion count for? I heard this time Xie Tianyi went to Phoenix Sect? Probably to trouble Su Qing, right? I cannot stand people like that, relying on a little family background, a little backing, and arrogantly raising their nose higher than their eyes!”

”What you said is indeed correct. It’s said outside Phoenix Sect, that Young Master Xie mocked Su Qing and afterwards...” Uncle Wang paused.

”What happened afterwards?” Du Xi hurriedly asked.

”Then he was beaten up by Lord Holy Emperor, and she took a thousand trillion Spirit Crystals from him...” Uncle Wang’s mouth twitched slightly.

”A thousand trillion?!”

Du Xi suddenly widened her eyes, ”My aunt is too brutal!”

Uncle Wang: ”...”

”You cheeky girl, you’re not married yet, what do you mean by my aunt, don’t talk nonsense!”

Just at this moment, a middle-aged woman walked in from outside.

Despite being middle-aged, she was still charming and similar to Du Xi in appearance, so it wasn’t hard to guess her identity.

Du Xi’s mother, Lady Du Tianlin—Deng Qian!

”Mother!”

Du Xi quickly ran over, laughed, ”Anyway, it’s a matter of time, since it’s Aunt Su Qing, she’s definitely my aunt too!”

Deng Qian helplessly shook her head, but didn’t say much more.

Honestly, from the start, Deng Qian had never opposed the matter between Du Xi and Su Qing.

It is precisely because of this that Du Xi has this attitude towards her, otherwise, she would have long been indifferent.

However, as a mother, under the outbreak of the Extraterritorial Demon, Deng Qian naturally was extremely worried about Du Xi’s safety.

Therefore, she did not help Du Xi plead with Du Tianlin.

In fact, everyone in Divine Dream Sect knew that Du Tianlin feared his wife the most...

If Deng Qian pleaded for Du Xi, Du Tianlin would have at least a fifty percent chance of agreeing with Du Xi.

”Mother, I know you were worried about me before, but now, surely you should agree to the matter between me and Su Qing, right?”

Du Xi shook Deng Qian’s arm, her face full of expectation, ”Lord Holy Emperor! Seven-Colored Saint of Law! Aunt Xiang’er! Destruction Empress!”

”The relationships Phoenix Sect has now are countless times stronger than that of Immortal Sovereign Pavilion, father will definitely not oppose anymore, just help me talk to him!”

”Xi’er!”

Deng Qian sighed lightly, then said, ”No matter whether your father agrees at this moment, I must first clarify something to you, and that is—”

”Your father is not the type of person who looks down on people through prejudice.”

”Back when he married me, he was neither the Sect Master of Divine Dream Sect nor a Heavenly Emperor Realm expert, your maternal grandfather also opposed our marriage, thus, he knows this feeling best.”

”Everything is because of the concern for your safety!”

”After all, in these circumstances, anyone would see that Phoenix Sect lacks the power to protect themselves. If you were really married over there, how could we not worry about you?”
