"Xie Ruo ...."
Xie Ruo turned back, thinking someone called out to him. But there was no one other than himself in the palace garden.
It had already been several months since Mei Liena and Liu Chang told her that Huo Yuzheng reminded her of the Holy Tower. In addition, Huo Yuzheng also seemed to want to say something about the Demon Emperor, but it was not said clearly.
It had been several months since that day, Xie Ruo no longer found Huo Yuzheng. Huo Yuzheng seemed to disappear from the world. Qu Xuanzi did not care, but Xie Ruo cared. It continued to bother him even though the Goddess of Life had already said that it was common.
The disappearance of Huo Yuzheng was not without reason. Usually, it is lost in certain moments to restore strength and recovery process. It takes a very long time.
Now, Xie Ruo's concentration was interrupted due to the sound of telepathic calls. His voice sounded like Zhu Zhu, but since when could Zhu Zhu summon him through such telepathy? Shouldn't it be the teacher?
The more thought out, Xie Ruo grew increasingly agitated.
The humans from Middle World including his friends and family had already returned to Middle World because it could not take too long. All this time, Xie Ruo was busy practicing.
Xie Ruo realized, the speed of his training in the Upper World increased tremendously. Plus, with the pure energy that helped him, his strength increased as expected.
In addition, his pure energy also increased drastically and affected the binding of his strength since marriage. Perhaps it was because he had become more intimate with Qu Xuanzi, that the dual cultivation had unconsciously occurred. Moreover, they almost do it every day.
Since he had been in the Upper World for too long, it was not wrong to answer the call that supposedly came from Zhu Zhu's voice that seemed to miss him.
"Alright, I'll be back," muttered Xie Ruo. He stretched his muscles after being in the lotus position long enough. He felt even more refreshed after breaking through the basic divinity rank.
Just one step to becoming a goddess, she no longer needed to worry about the age issues she had sacrificed in the past. But, too soon to relax, the journey was still long after this. Although she had become a goddess, she was not necessarily able to go to the God World. His life is full of problems.
"Miss, are you going to the Holy Tower today?" Long Long Long on Xie Ruo's shoulder asked. He was somewhat envious of seeing a ball of fur treated like a kitten in Xie Ruo's hands.
"If today, too suddenly. Better be tomorrow." Moreover, he had to part with Qu Xuanzi after coming out of the Upper World. Qu Xuanzi had to take care of the Upper World, plus his problem with the relentless Demon God.
Given the matter of the Demon God, the shin poison that Xie Ruo's headache had already disappeared. A few months ago, Mei Liena had exposed the lingzhi that the Life Goddess had obtained by Dou Dou. It was very powerful at resolving all the toxins and was made the most effective recipe by Mei Liena, plus Yue Lu also took part in the process.
Although she could not produce much lingzhi, Mei Liena could make medicine with almost the same content, so the dry bone poison outbreak ended perfectly. Shi Yang had also recovered and could jump again.
"There's a lot going on in the empire, why don't I know?" Xie Ruo pouted at the pond of light that the God of Destiny controlled.
The beautiful man looked surprised at Xie Ruo's sudden presence, he then chuckled. "There are many stories in the mortal world. Your Majesty must know more."
Xie Ruo who was leaning under the tree said, "You can tell me the condition of the Holy Tower?"
The God of Fate was silent for a while, then spoke carefully. "The "Holy Tower was under the Moon Goddess, only she knew about it. This god can only rule the destiny of man. Whereas the Holy Tower could not only be referred to as a group of humans, it played interracial."
"Why did I just hear about the Moon Goddess?"
"This ... The Moon Goddess had long since fallen. Recently someone had managed to obtain the divinity of the Moon Goddess, did Your Majesty not know?"
Xie Ruo did not feel that it was a strange thing, yet he felt uneasy. How could he miss so many things just because of cultivation?
Perhaps when he came out of the Upper World, the times had already evolved again. It was the same as just coming out of the cave.
Xie Ruo returned to the palace, deciding not to think too much about it.
But as soon as he reached the palace, the same voice sounded again.
"Xie Ruo ...."
Xie Ruo hissed in annoyance. He knew tomorrow was the last day of the Holy Tower's opening, but it didn't have to keep calling him like this, did it?
Unless there's a problem, it shouldn't be like this, right? But with the power of the Holy Tower Queen, will there be any problems?
"Ruoruo?"
Xie Ruo turned his head back, seeing Qu Xuanzi standing a few meters away from him. He approached, then hugged her. For some reason, she just wanted to hug her husband. Maybe because tomorrow they have to part temporarily.
"Holy Tower calls you?" Qu Xuanzi returned his embrace gently.
"You already know. Tomorrow I will go to the Holy Tower, then go to the Xie Clan."
"Sorry you can't come now. I'll be there soon." Qu Xuanzi actually wanted to take Xie Ruo with him, but Xie Ruo also had a flurry of his own. The journey is also quite far.
"I know."
It's been planned. Tomorrow Xie Ruo was going to the Holy Tower, whereas Qu Xuanzi was going to the border of the three worlds with some gods to resolve the issue of the sacrificial altar.
It was known that the Demon God made many sacrificial altars in various regions. The borders of the three worlds were one of them other than the Spirit World. They were just looking for the most difficult altar of sacrifice in the Middle World.
Every time the sacrificial altar was destroyed, there was always chaos and destruction. That's why Middle-earth is on the final list, because it will probably be a war decider. Moreover, the Demon God was in the Middle World.
Since Xie Ruo could handle some matters on his own and there were some saint beasts scattered in Middle World, Qu Xuanzi did not have to worry excessively. He believed in Xie Ruo's abilities.
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
The next day, Xie Ruo went to the Holy Tower riding on Long Yun. By the way, the three cute dragons have always been with him, but they always play around with themselves elsewhere. He said find a couple.
Long Yun landed in front of the gate of the Holy Tower. The dragon instantly became petite as soon as Xie Ruo descended from his back, then joined Long Huo and Long Ying who perched on the tree to observe.
When he saw the huge gate he had lived in for 10 years, inexplicably Xie Ruo felt that there was a lot of change in aura. He went inside, looking at the silent disciples of the Holy Tower as soon as he saw it. The disciples stopped the activity in order to notice it from where they were.
He entered the palace, surprised by some large boxes lined up in the hall. A large box with a red cloth decoration that was irritating to Xie Ruo. The boxes blocked his path.
"Teacher?" Xie Ruo was feeling uneasy. He could not feel Sheng Xian's breathing everywhere. Has something happened? What about those strangers?
The breath of strangers should be human. Their strength was not strong, it could be said to be weak. But there are also those who feel more like a soldier in numbers that are not small. Since there was no Sheng Xian here, how could a stranger casually enter!
Can't! He had to find his senior or Zhu Zhu first. Zhu Zhu called out to him, there must be something serious.
He went around the palace looking for Zhu Zhu's whereabouts. Amidst the search, he saw Qiong Lin walking hurriedly over.
"Ruoruo, you've finally come." Qiong Lin looked worried. A stark contrast to the poker face he used to show.
"Senior, did something happen? Where is Teacher?" Xie Ruo became extremely agitated. His head throbbed when agitated, but he could not be weak.
"There were a lot of changes in the Holy Tower after you left. A few months ago, Her Majesty the Queen lowered her position to Zhu Zhu abruptly and disappeared without news."
"Zhu Zhu's? Where is he?" Xie Ruo was clearly shocked. Was there such a big problem that Sheng Xian resigned?
"He ...."
"Ruoruo?" That subtle sound made their gaze shifted to another corner.
Up ahead, there was a gentle looking woman with a pale face who still looked very young. When he saw Xie Ruo, his eyes suddenly glazed over.
"Ruoruo ...." That woman was Zhu Zhu. He immediately ran over and hugged Xie Ruo like a frightened child.
"Where is Teacher?" xie Ruo asked, looking at Zhu Zhu who looked hard to speak.
"Teacher ... Teacher ...."
"Say!" Xie Ruo was anxious to see Zhu Zhu stammering. He knew Zhu Zhu was not as good mentally as he was, but he was still a disciple in the Holy Tower. How can't you be frank?
When he saw Xie Ruo, Zhu Zhu who originally wanted to say everything became frightened. Although Zhu Zhu was close to Xie Ruo, he also sometimes felt fear for Xie Ruo of his unpredictable temperament. Even under these circumstances, the cold-looking Xie Ruo made him even more afraid.
"Ruoruo, Her Majesty the Queen gave the message, the position of the Holy Tower Queen will be transferred to Zhu Zhu as her trust disciple. During these few months I trained Zhu Zhu, his mentality was still too weak. I hope you understand." Qiong Lin obviously knew Xie Ruo was upset, but he could not do anything. After a long time of not seeing Xie Ruo, he felt that Xie Ruo had changed a lot.
Putting aside the clumsy Zhu Zhu, Xie Ruo preferred to look towards Qiong Lin. "Senior, who are those people?"
Qiong Lin sighed. "It turns out you've already noticed. They're from the empire."
Xie Ruo pulled his brows. "Empire? What's for?"
I don't know why she doesn't feel good. The box in the front hall ... did they try to propose to Zhu Zhu until this brat was scared like this? They're nuts! Which prince is looking for her.
"For you." Just as Qiong Lin was about to reply, the sound of someone echoing was quite large making Qiong Lin and Zhu Zhu freeze.
Xie Ruo turned his head, looking at the all-black-clothed man like a villain with an obnoxious smile for Xie Ruo. The smile was familiar, his face was familiar as well. If not mistakenly remembered, he was Emperor Zhong, Zhong Guofeng.
Zhong Guofeng looked at Xie Ruo with a perfectly exposed smile. He slightly lowered his head in honor of the Queen disciple of the Holy Tower. While Xie Ruo was only pensive.
A moment ... What did he say? Did he not hear wrong? Who is that guy actually talking to?
"Second Miss Xie, nice to meet you." Zhong Guofeng put on a pleasant friendly smile. But the three women looked the opposite. Especially Zhu Zhu who looked even more grim, while Qiong Lin was tense.
Xie Ruo remembered that those who knew Zhong Guofeng were only 'Xie Ran'. He as 'Xie Ruo' should not recognize Zhong Guofeng, should be formal. But Zhong Guofeng shouldn't recognize him as Xie Ruo, right? How did that man know?
"Your Majesty the Emperor, what business is there coming to the Holy Tower? Sorry to not be welcomed, the Holy Tower is having a bit of internal trouble. If there's any business, it can be said now."
That means Xie Ruo is expelling. Anyone could clearly tell there was no welcoming tone from Xie Ruo's remarks. It was not that Xie Ruo was hostile towards Zhong Guofeng, it was just that the time was not right to talk about anything else while his teacher was not around. It was a formality.
"Second Miss Xie is too shy, even though this emperor has waited for so long."
"If this is any other time, the Holy Tower will welcome His Majesty well. Master is away, there is no reason for us to waste His Majesty's time."
"Absolutely not wasting time. This emperor had come not to meet the Holy Tower Queen, but to meet others."
Xie Ruo glanced at Zhu Zhu. Did this strange man like Zhu Zhu? When viewed, Zhu Zhu was indeed beautiful and talented, there was nothing lacking from her except that clumsy nature. That trait does not matter, the most important thing is that Zhu Zhu is smart and wise to make decisions even though he is mentally weak.
But could it not come in such a way as to want to oppress people? The position of the emperor could not be compared to that of a thug, you know.
"For this matter, it can be discussed in advance with the Queen of the Holy Tower. After all, Zhu Zhu was the successor of the Queen of the Holy Tower, unable to go with Her Majesty just like that without the Holy Tower Queen's approval."
Zhu Zhu looked at Xie Ruo in confusion. Why is it linked? He was crying not because of Emperor Zhong, really.
Even Qiong Lin did not know where to put his face. He was confused by the circumstances, unaware that Xie Ruo had misunderstood from the start. Maybe it's because the conditions are too chaotic until all the information becomes random and uncontrollable.
Zhong Guofeng laughed at Xie Ruo's words, while the one who was ridiculed put on a face did not know anything. Xie Ruo did not know, where his words were wrong. Did he misinterpret something?
"Second Miss seems to have misunderstood." Zhong Guofeng stopped his laughter, then walked up to them while staring at Xie Ruo.
Xie Ruo's feelings were not good. He suddenly thought, it was not Zhu Zhu that this strange emperor wanted to bring along. Nor was Qiong Lin, meaning ....
"Really, you. Second Miss, I came to propose to you." Zhong Guofeng spoke with a fluffy smile.
Goddamn hick!
