"The young master... That's impossible! Only the sect master or the grand elder can accept me back!" Xi Yu'er said with a sad face, even though she knew that Xiao Chen was the young master of the Heaven Sect, but he had only just been appointed, so how could he possibly achieve such a status in just a few years? And there would certainly be an uproar within the sect if the surviving disciples found out about her being labeled a traitor."You don't need to worry about whether the sect will accept you or not. What matters is that I, Xiao Chen, have restored your status. If you want to save your child, this status will be useful. And even though your status has been restored, I won’t allow any special treatment for your children!” Xi Yu’er bit her lip. It was clear that Xiao Chen’s offer was very advantageous to her, as the thing she wanted most was to save Gu Ying from the bandits who had kidnapped her child. And the status of a Heaven Sect disciple was enough to make her the first quee
"Do you still recognize this token? Well, it's no surprise that you are also a disciple of my sect. But why are you here?" Xiao Chen realized that his guess was correct; the queen was indeed from the Heaven Sect, although he didn't know why. But the way the queen knelt before him made Xiao Chen realize that something had happened to cause the queen to kneel and throw away her pride."Forgive me, young master, I... I am a sinful disciple. I was expelled from the sect for making a grave mistake. So I was expelled from the sect with my status and cultivation removed!" She replied fearfully and tremblingly as she remembered her past. Xiao Chen frowned. How could someone expel a sect disciple for something she had done? And again, if she was truly the queen, she would not run away from the problems she had caused and would want to take responsibility. At the very least, the sect would not have expelled the queen and would have only given her a fitting punishment. "Tell me, sister, why wer
Everyone there suddenly changed their expressions; they didn't know how Xiao Chen had suddenly asked about Gu Ying. In Xiao Chen's eyes, Gu Ying was already worthy of becoming a disciple of the Headan Sect as the young master of the Heaven Sect, so he certainly didn't want anything to happen to Gu Ying. It might be easy for him to simply refer to himself as the young master of the Heaven Sect and have all problems resolved perfectly, but the Tiger Bandits might escape Xiao Chen's sight. His mission would also fail completely because of that, which is why he only asked about Gu Ying and referred to himself as a disciple of the Heaven Sect, not as the young master. And that alone was enough to make all the eyes that were already afraid of him even more fearful. Who would have thought that Xiao Chen could guess what they were hiding? It's just that they didn't dare to admit something like Gu Ying's disappearance two days ago. That would make Xiao Chen furious and the entire Gu kingdom wo
Xiao Chen did nothing even though he was aware that he was being watched by a group he did not know. From the sounds he heard, this group was neither from Gu Ying's family nor the tiger bandits. And now he had gained a new enemy who was also an obstacle to the Gu kingdom living in peace. Two days passed, and neither Gu Ying nor the crown prince came to see Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen did not leave his room either and just stayed there without doing anything. He was also being watched by many spies from different groups. After four days, the crown prince finally went to see Xiao Chen with a very remorseful look on his face. He came to talk and invite Xiao Chen to have a meal with the royal family. Of course, Xiao Chen did not refuse the crown prince's invitation. But as they walked to the dining room, the crown prince explained to Xiao Chen about the situation in the Gu kingdom and the people who were attending today's dinner. Among them were people who had been enemies of his father. Of cou
Gu Ying's face was truly sad; she hoped to be given two more years before the agreement ended. But in reality, in less than a year, everything would end with their deaths and the entire Gu kingdom would fall into the hands of the kingdom or her uncle. The crown prince also bowed his head as if feeling all the deaths of his family and the suffering of the people of the Gu kingdom. Xiao Chen looked at the two of them who were sad, only smiled and didn't say much. He hadn't seen the Gu kingdom and what the people there were like, nor their views on the Gu kingdom. If their views were better, Xiao Chen could interfere with the Gu kingdom's affairs. But if not, he would just let them face the disaster themselves with everything that would happen later. Throughout the journey, no one spoke much. Xiao Chen just sat looking out of the carriage. They traveled for two days and finally arrived at the border of the Gu kingdom. Xiao Chen looked out and gazed at the large gate in surprise. From th
"What an attractive girl! HM... by the way, what's your name? I don't know yet," asked Xiao Chen, realizing that he didn't know the name of the girl in front of him. "My name is Gu Ying, I am the daughter of the Gu kingdom on this continent. Well, even though it's called a kingdom, ours is only a low-level kingdom!" Gu Ying replied, introducing herself and mentioning her origin with great pride. Even though children should be ashamed to mention their origins when there are people or figures who are much stronger than them."Is your kingdom currently in trouble? That's why you're out exploring like this?" Xiao Chen asked, not to Gu Ying but to the prince of the kingdom himself, Gu Yao. Everyone behind them lowered their heads. Xiao Chen understood why they were suddenly acting strangely without being told. But Gu Ying, who considered Xiao Chen a good person and a caring older brother, clearly told Xiao Chen that there were internal problems within the royal family. Namely, a struggle
