Reborn as a tree, the peerless god is obsessed

His voice was deep and powerful, echoing throughout the hall. "I know you've been secretly investigating your mother's past, but it's been many years since then, and the truth is complex and intricate. A single move could have rippled through the entire complex. Now that the situation has been resolved, we must refrain from further complications, lest we stir up unnecessary trouble."

Xue Yao bit her lip tightly, her beautiful eyes gleaming with an unyielding light. She stubbornly raised her snow-white face and looked straight at the Emperor sitting high on the dragon throne. She said loudly, "Your Majesty, my mother has been kind and virtuous all her life, but she was falsely accused and brutally murdered for no reason. How can I sit idly by and watch such an injustice?"

The Emperor frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure showing on his face. He said in a deep voice, "This matter involves a wide range of issues and is very complicated. The relationships among them are even more intricate. How can a mere woman like you easily figure it out? Don't mention it again!"

However, facing the majestic rebuke from the Emperor of Heaven, Xue Yao had no intention of backing down.

She took a step forward, clenched her fists at her sides, and spoke with increasing resolve, "Your Majesty, please allow me to thoroughly investigate this matter and clear my mother's name. If I have to endure severe punishment for this, I will have no regrets."

When the Emperor of Heaven heard this, he couldn't help but set his gaze on the woman in front of him who seemed weak but was extremely resolute.

He stared at Xue Yao's face, which was slightly pale due to anger and sadness, and her eyes full of persistence and determination, and his heart moved unconsciously.

After a long silence, the Emperor finally spoke slowly, "Well, since you are so determined, I will give you one chance. You have ten days to uncover the truth. If you fail to identify the culprit or wrongly accuse an innocent person within ten days, I will not let you off lightly."

Xueyao bowed and thanked him, knowing that this was her only chance to clear her mother's name. But this was not her ultimate goal.

Above the nine heavens, in the great hall.

Ling Ziqian, who was sitting at the table, was staring at the scene in front of him, with the corners of his lips slightly curved.

Jian Xiao and Jian Ying were no longer surprised. From a certain point on, their usually aloof master would smile whenever he turned away from the screen.

"You said that Your Majesty likes Fairy Xueyao so much. When will Fairy Xueyao know about it?" Jianying suddenly whispered to Jianxiao.

Their master has been silently guarding behind the scenes, which really makes him worry.

Jian Xiao shook his head helplessly. "Who can possibly guess what Your Majesty is thinking? But judging by the situation, I'm afraid there's still a long way to go."

Xueyao had already begun searching for clues. Every time she reached a dangerous place, she could always feel an invisible force protecting her. Although she was puzzled, she had no time to think about it.

Ling Ziqian, on the other hand, felt so distressed watching Xueyao working so hard that he couldn't help but want to secretly help her more, sometimes even wanting to personally drive away the dangerous factors approaching Xueyao.

But he knew very well in his heart that he could not interfere in Xueyao's affairs casually, otherwise, he might do more harm than good to Xueyao and add to her burden.

Many times, when facing the many things that Xueyao encountered, even if she was anxious, she had to endure it.

That day, Xue Yao, Luo Yuheng and others came to a hidden cave to fight monsters. The cave was filled with a strange atmosphere, and was surrounded by cold light and black mist.

Just as she was about to explore further, a huge monster appeared. Xue Yao clenched her weapon tightly and prepared for battle.

Seeing this, Ling Ziqian clenched his fists and tensed up. He fretted inwardly for a long time, but could only continue to watch.

It was not until Xue Yao and the others used their signature skills and a heart-shaped red light emanated from Xue Yao's chest and flew straight towards the demon that he took the opportunity to attack, sending out a golden light to help Xue Yao.

This is the maximum help Ling Ziqian can provide, which not only protects Xue Yao but also does not break the rules.

Jian Xiao and Jian Ying were talking in low voices, but Ling Ziqian was staring at the screen intently.

At this moment, Xueyao has collected a lot of evidence.

She was in her own courtyard in the secret garden, sorting out the evidence.

Min Xia, right? He's done so many evil things, how can he be let off so easily?

A hint of determination flashed in Xueyao's eyes, and she carefully put the evidence away.

Three days later, she presented all the evidence before the Emperor of Heaven.

After taking a quick look, the Emperor frowned and said, "Send Concubine Xia to see you!"

"Call Concubine Xia to see the emperor!" the waiter sang loudly to the outside.

Soon, Minxia arrived.

"Greetings to the Emperor!" After entering the palace, Min Xia respectfully bowed to the Emperor of Heaven.

There was a hint of tenderness in her voice, and no trace of guilt could be heard.

Xue Yao narrowed her eyes slightly and thought to herself, "You're quite good at pretending."

The Emperor threw the evidence in front of Minxia and shouted angrily, "Evil woman, what else do you have to say?"

Minxia glanced at the evidence and was shocked, but she still pretended to be calm. "Your Majesty, I am innocent! This is all slander. Someone must be jealous of me and deliberately framed me."

Xue Yao took a step forward and looked Min Xia in the face. "Empress Xia, with so much evidence before us, how can you just evade this with a single accusation?"

Min Xia turned to Xue Yao, her eyes full of resentment, "How dare you, little bitch, frame me."

Her expression changed, and the sky seemed to darken suddenly. She suddenly rushed towards Xueyao, bringing with her a gust of wind that whistled past.

Xueyao looked at her warily, as if she were a dead person. Minxia suddenly appeared in front of Xueyao, her eyes like thousands of sharp blades, as if she wanted to chop Xueyao into pieces.

"Xueyao, do you think you can convict me with just this little thing?" Minxia's face was full of disdain, and his eyes were fierce.

Xue Yao was not afraid at all, "What I know is enough to expose your true colors."

Ling Ziqian noticed something strange here and was extremely anxious but did not dare to come over rashly.

Minxia snorted coldly and unleashed a spell to attack Xueyao. Xueyao fought back fiercely. Back then, facing Minxia, she would have been like an egg hitting a stone. But now, things were different. After a few rounds, she gradually gained the upper hand.

Just as the two sides were at a stalemate, a black-robed figure appeared in the hall. Everyone was startled, but he walked straight up to the Emperor of Heaven and said, "Your Majesty, I can prove that Xue Yao's words are true. I even witnessed Concubine Xia instructing the demons to commit evil."

The Emperor of Heaven looked at the man in black robe and recognized him at a glance. This man was the one who followed Min Xia back then.

His eyes were deep. "Why are you testifying now?"

The black-robed man said calmly, "I don't want to get involved in the harem disputes, but Concubine Xia's actions endanger the peace of the heavens, so I have no choice but to intervene."

The Emperor of Heaven pondered for a moment before issuing his final verdict: "Min Xia has committed countless evil deeds and will be immediately thrown into the Heavenly Prison. Three days later, he will be brought to the Jingxian Terrace, where he will first be punished by thunder and then by death by sorrow."

Xueyao looked at the black-robed man gratefully. He said nothing, only smiled back. Minxia was dragged away by the guards, struggling and cursing all the way.

Seeing this result, Ling Ziqian's heart finally settled down. He thought again of the heart-shaped red light emanating from Xue Yao's chest. No matter how he looked at it, it seemed to have some connection with the goddess jade pendant he was looking for, but how could this be possible?

Xue Yao was a fairy in the Heavenly Palace in her previous life. In this life, she is just a plum tree on the Plum Blossom Mountain on earth. After achieving enlightenment, she ascended to heaven.

Xueyao, who is she?
