The White Demon
Chapter 113: For the sake of people’s livelihood, let the eldest daughter of the Ye family have her
Ye Qingwan naturally understood what the ancestor's return at this time meant, and she was secretly glad that Dabai was able to survive.
Sure enough, not long after, a thin eunuch in a blue robe entered the hall under the guidance of the disciples of the mountain gate.
"Greetings, ancestor. I'm Li Deshun. I'm summoned here today by imperial decree. I wonder if the eldest daughter of the Ye family is here." He bowed and saluted to the ancestor who was sitting right there.
The old ancestor just raised his chin coldly.
Eunuch Li followed the direction pointed by the ancestor and found that there was a barefoot woman with loose hair, loose clothes and bloodstains sitting on the ground in the hall.
The woman was described as being in a very miserable state, and it was hard to imagine that she was the legendary treasure of the Duke of Protector of the Country.
He was involuntarily taken aback.
But this world is full of demons and monsters, and theocracy is above royal authority.
Even the royal nobles had to rely on these immortal cultivation sects. How could he, a mere eunuch in the palace who had been castrated, dare to make a statement?
He coughed awkwardly, then spread out the imperial edict as if nothing had happened and read it out loud in a shrill voice:
"Ahem, Ye Qingwan, the daughter of the Ye family - accept the order!"
Ye Qingwan knelt down obediently, her loose hair covering most of her face, but she heard Eunuch Li continue:
"In compliance with the will of Heaven, the Yellow Emperor proclaims: The legitimate daughter of the Ye family is gentle, virtuous, and talented. She is now seventeen years old, but has not yet had her coming-of-age ceremony. I hereby grant her a special decree to honor her virtue. She is to complete her coming-of-age ceremony within this month. I decree this!"
"The daughter of the Ye family will accept the order."
Seventeen years old?!
I didn't expect that apart from the more than one year she had been here, when I first saw this small body, she was already fifteen or sixteen years old!
Ye Qingwan didn't know the etiquette here. She was so surprised that she just raised her hands above her head. When she felt something like a scroll falling into her hands, she slowly raised her head.
Eunuch Li slowly lifted her up with his forearms, but the moment he saw Ye Qingwan's face, he couldn't help but be shocked.
Although she was not wearing any makeup and looked shabby, she was still very pretty. Especially her pair of phoenix eyes, which were gentle yet shrewd. One could tell at a glance that she was an extremely intelligent woman. No wonder Prince Rui was so fond of her.
Seeing the wounds and wet blood on her body, Eunuch Li couldn't help but feel more sympathy for her.
"Miss Ye, you should quickly bandage your wound, wash and dress yourself, and go back to the Duke of Huguo's Mansion to prepare for your coming-of-age ceremony. Prince Rui specifically asked me to take care of you. If you need me to accompany you to the Duke of Huguo's Mansion, that's fine..."
"Prince Rui?" Ye Qingwan had a vague memory, and there seemed to be a person who was tactful and well-mannered.
But she didn't expect that even though she didn't even remember what Prince Rui looked like, he still remembered her.
However, her actions were restricted now, so she could take this opportunity to leave Wanxiang Mountain. Thinking of this, she was delighted.
However, the ancestor seemed to be a worm in her stomach, and suddenly spoke at this time: "I would like to thank you on behalf of my humble disciple. However, my humble disciple is in a daze and does not know the basic etiquette. If I perform the coming-of-age ceremony in this state and become someone else's wife, it will also bring shame to my Wanxiang Sect and the Huguogong Mansion in the future.
Therefore, there is no rush for this coming-of-age ceremony. Please, eunuch, thank His Majesty and Prince Rui for their kindness on my behalf."
Openly disobeying the order?!
I didn’t expect that the ancestor has become so arrogant!
Ye Qingwan was instantly stunned by the old ancestor's actions.
"This..." Eunuch Li's eyes rolled. He couldn't afford to offend either the royal power or the divine power, and he didn't dare to refute...
Just when he was in a dilemma, loud laughter suddenly came from outside the door.
"Hahaha, I knew it would be like this, Shi Ping, after all these years, your temper really hasn't changed at all!"
Then, a man in a yellow brocade dragon robe walked into the hall.
The eunuchs and soldiers behind him stayed outside the hall in an orderly manner.
Seeing the newcomer, the old ancestor's face finally warmed up a bit, and he came down from the main seat to greet him, "Your Majesty, you came at a really bad time! Because of receiving your imperial edict, I missed a great demon! The people below are really really, why didn't they inform us that Your Majesty has come!"
The old ancestor greeted politely. What could be going on in Wanxiang Mountain that he couldn't find out?
But the emperor of the human race possesses dragon energy, and the strength of the Tea Kingdom should not be underestimated, so he naturally has to give him some face.
Ye Qingwan knelt down again...
Alas, her poor knees. Traveling back to ancient times meant that her knees were destined to suffer...
The Human Emperor strode in, and spoke in a friendly manner, as if he was chatting with his own brothers:
"Eh? I don't want them to! I saw that Wanxiang Sect seemed to have just experienced a great war, and the disciples in the sect had a hard time practicing, so I let them go about their business and didn't let them report."
"However, if not for this, how would I know that my imperial decree has no effect in Wanxiang Mountain?"
"Alas! Your Majesty does not know, it is really my fault that I have failed to live up to your expectations." The old ancestor sighed, and he and the emperor sat down equally in the guest seats.
The old ancestor waved to Ye Qingwan, and Ye Qingwan slowly retreated with a tactful look.
The Human Emperor only saw Ye Qingwan's profile as she turned around, and he was shocked by the beautiful face of the person in front of him.
Ye Qingwan did not realize that from the moment her spiritual roots were repaired, her entire temperament began to slowly change.
I thought others were shocked by her miserable condition...
She slowed down her pace as she walked out of the hall. At this moment, she was more curious about the conversation inside the hall.
So she slowly released her spiritual consciousness...
There was still laughter in the hall:
"Come to think of it, I haven't been to your Wanxiang Mountain for many years."
"Yes, Your Majesty, the last time you came was when you were still a prince! I remember you at that time, you were full of vigor and vitality, and you were the dream lover in the hearts of thousands of noble ladies in the capital!"
“Hahaha… at that time you were just the head of the sect, not the ancestor of the sect!”
"Oh, I'm so ashamed, so ashamed..."
The two of them talked about the past, and the atmosphere suddenly became much more lively. However, suddenly, the Emperor straightened his expression and changed the subject:
"Shiping, we are all old, but the world is still not at peace. Recently, in the southern part of the East China Sea, strange phenomena have appeared, sea beasts are howling, resentment is boiling, and the evil god... I'm afraid he will be resurrected again."
“Are you serious?!” The old ancestor slapped the armrest of the chair in astonishment. “Back then, Nihuang used her own soul to suppress him to the bottom of the sea. Who would have thought that only seventeen years later, the evil god would be resurrected again! But Nihuang never…”
The Emperor saw the old ancestor's sad expression, raised his hand and gently patted his shoulder, comforting him: "I know you have always had feelings for Nihuang, Shi Ping, after so many years, it's time for you to let it go..."
The old ancestor laughed at himself, as if he was lost in deep thought: "Yes, why should I do this?..."
"But for now, there is still one important thing to do: that is to preserve the bloodline of the Ye family's daughter as soon as possible..."
"No!" The old ancestor slammed the table and stood up upon hearing this, "Your Majesty, do you want the tragedy of Nihuang to happen again? Why should the daughter of the Ye family sacrifice her life for the royal family's kingdom!
There are so many powerful monks in this world, why must the Ye family be sent to die? ! "
"This is not the kingdom of the royal family, this is the kingdom of the people!"
The Emperor's voice suddenly became high, "Brother Shiping, can you be more rational and stop being neurotic when the Ye family's legitimate daughter is mentioned? For the sake of the people of the world, Shiping, even if I beg you, please let the Ye family's legitimate daughter complete her coming-of-age ceremony first!"
