After we broke up, I awakened my divine body. Why are you crying?

"Saint Emperor, Ji Chen is here too."

Seeing that the old Saint Emperor was so weak, as if he almost had no strength to speak, Su Wanyue's face showed sadness.

"Ji Chen?"

Hearing this name, the old Saint Emperor seemed to gain strength all of a sudden, and his voice was no longer as weak as before.

He seemed to sit up from the bed with some difficulty. Seeing this, Su Wanyue hurried over to support him.

This is an old man with white hair and beard, but overall he does not look as old as imagined.

Ji Chen stood there quietly, sizing him up. After a long moment, he clasped his fists and said, "Greetings to the Saint Emperor."

"well."

Hearing this, he couldn't help but reveal some joy on his face, and his eyes seemed to be excited as he looked at Ji Chen, as if he wanted to come closer, but he didn't have the strength.

Ji Chen hesitated for a moment, then he approached on his own and came in front of the Saint Emperor.

"Come, child, sit here and talk to me with Wanyue."

His hands trembled slightly as he patted the left side of the bed.

Ji Chen did not hesitate and sat down quickly.

He and Su Wanyue sat on either side of the Saint Emperor, one on the left and one on the right.

"How have you been doing during these years in Yun Country?" The old Saint Emperor asked, with a kind look in his eyes, looking Ji Chen up and down.

"Not bad." Ji Chen just nodded slightly.

Hearing this, the old Saint Emperor couldn't help but sigh, "I've heard Wanyue about your experience. You didn't live a happy life in the Ji family. If it weren't for the fact that he is the husband of my granddaughter Ruoxi, I would have skinned him alive!"

Regarding Ji Chen, some time ago, after the old Saint Emperor learned about him, he asked Su Wanyue to help investigate all of Ji Chen's experiences in Yun Kingdom and present them to him.

He knew that Ji Chen had not had a happy life during those years in the Ji family.

Ji Chen was speechless. After a moment's silence, he said, "I don't mind. It's not bad for young people to suffer a little, but my mother..."

Hearing this, the old Saint Emperor trembled slightly, "This old matter involves too many things, but don't worry, since you have returned to the Saint Dynasty, then this emperor will naturally give you a satisfactory explanation."

"Does Saint Emperor know who attacked my mother back then?" Ji Chen asked.

But if you think about it carefully, how could the old Saint Emperor not know?

But over the years, he has not taken any action to take charge of what happened back then. This shows that the people involved are probably far more than just Su Nancheng.

Moreover, judging from his age, when the incident happened, Su Nancheng was no more than eleven or twelve years old.

At this age, no matter how cunning one is, it is impossible for him to come up with any plan.

It is conceivable that Su Nancheng is not the real mastermind.

So, who could it be?

The contemporary Holy Emperor!

Ji Chen immediately thought of the other party.

However, he still had to find out the details himself.

Facing Ji Chen's question, the old Saint Emperor remained silent.

He was silent for a long moment and changed the subject. "Since Ming Zun, our Holy Dynasty has truly declined. However, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Our Holy Dynasty has been able to pass on for so many years, so the foundation is still there."

"I heard from Wanyue that you have the divine body of the Eastern Wasteland, and are destined to face the calamity of being cut off."

"This calamity is difficult to overcome. Throughout history, no divine body has ever been able to break it, but we have to try."

"Ji Chen, are you interested in the position of Holy Emperor?" He suddenly turned his eyes and looked at Ji Chen, asking.

Beside him, Su Wanyue was also shocked when she heard this.

"To be honest, I'm not very interested in imperial power." Ji Chen said truthfully.

The old Saint Emperor looked at him quietly, and after a long moment he couldn't help but smile, "It's rare that a man in the world doesn't fight for power. You're probably the only one."

It’s not that Ji Chen really has no pursuits.

But his pursuit is greater.

The holy dynasty is not the end.

Besides, he didn't want to get involved in the struggle for imperial power.

If you have that time, you might as well use it on cultivation.

Only when you become strong yourself can you achieve reality.

So what about the Holy Emperor?

If his cultivation had not reached a sufficient level, he would only become a puppet of the various parties in the court with such an identity.

A truly powerful person will never look down upon secular imperial power.

Even if you are a Holy Emperor, you are nothing but an ant in front of an ancient sage.

Ji Chen’s goal in this life is to become a saint and become an emperor!

"However, some things that belong to you will still be yours." The old Holy Emperor said with a smile.

"In the past, the throne of the Holy Emperor should have belonged to Cheng Yun. It was all my fault that I was confused and believed some rumors. That's why I ignored her and even married her off to the Yun Kingdom."

"In fact, when I made this decision, I was also thinking whether it would be better for Cheng Yun. After all, being away from the disputes of the Holy Dynasty would allow her to avoid many dangers, just like when I asked Wan Yue to go to Yuhua Sect. I didn't want her to be contaminated by the foul atmosphere here."

"But I still underestimated people's hearts. Even after going to Yun Country, Cheng Yun still couldn't escape those troubles, including your mother Ruoxi..."

When talking about these old events, the old Saint Emperor's eyes turned slightly red, and from time to time a ruthless look flashed across his eyes.

Finally, he gave a helpless smile, as if mocking himself, "In fact, I should have thought of this a long time ago. After all, I ascended the throne by stepping on the corpses of countless brothers and sisters."

"It's a good thing you're here."

"Nine spiritual veins, Eastern Wasteland divine body..."

"If Cheng Yun knew about this in the afterlife, she would definitely be happy that a peerless demon like you has appeared among her descendants."

"What belongs to Cheng Yun and Ruoxi will belong to you from now on." He finally spoke.

……

It was not until night fell that Ji Chen and Su Wanyue left the old Saint Emperor.

Su Wanyue arranged for Ji Chen to live in the Holy Palace, in her Princess Palace, as a side room.

Because Ji Chen has a special identity and many people in the Holy Dynasty are looking at him, Su Wanyue had to be cautious and did not dare to let Ji Chen stay alone somewhere in the palace to prevent any unexpected events from happening.

Under the moon, in a garden, Ji Chen did not sleep, but came here, thinking about the conversation he had with the Saint Emperor today.

"Ji Chen, are you practicing?"

Su Wanyue's voice came from not far behind.

She seemed to have taken a bath and changed into light clothes. Her long hair was simply tied up with a red hair and draped over her shoulders.

"No." Ji Chen stood up, walked over, and invited the other party to sit down with him.

He pondered for a moment, and finally couldn't help asking, "You and Su Nancheng are brother and sister, but why do you seem to want to help me?"
