Time Travel: Did My Sister-in-Law Get Slapped in the Face Today?

Eunuch Dou was in a very difficult position, sweat pouring down his face. He would never have dared to say that unless he had absolutely no other choice.

But things are really difficult now, so I have no choice but to tell the truth at the risk of offending the king.

After all, the land under the Great Li dynasty has been scraped clean three times over, and the bones of the people have been fried several times over. How can you expect to extract any oil from it?

Besides, there's really nowhere to buy it.

"If the national treasury is empty, then increase taxes! Make all the people of the land pay the taxes for the next thirty years at once!"

Emperor Xianxian said, "The trade routes in the northwest are blocked, so let Lin Zheng clear them!"

His face showed a hint of anger.

Eunuch Dou nodded repeatedly, knelt on the ground, and said:

"Your Majesty, an envoy from the Northern Hu has arrived. Hearing that our dynasty received the blessings of immortals during the Qingtian Grand Ceremony, they wish to come to the capital to pay tribute. This servant has learned that many spiritual items are among their gifts..."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xianxian immediately said, "Granted!"

—The Northern Hu and the Great Li are sworn enemies, and they do not exchange greetings with each other. In the past, let alone doing such a thing, even mentioning it would have made one a traitor to the country!

But now, for the sake of the spirit... I can't care about so much anymore.

……

After Eunuch Dou left, he immediately issued the order.

In the darkness of night, he picked up his pen and wrote a letter, which he then handed to his trusted confidant.

……

Shortly after.

Outside of Kyoto, on a mountain ridge, a man waved his hand, and a carrier pigeon quickly descended from the sky, hovering on his arm.

He took the letter off the carrier pigeon's leg band and read it.

"Emperor Xianxian has granted us permission to enter the capital,"

The man smiled slightly, "Very good. Take this opportunity to eliminate the people chosen by the major forces of the Immortal Realm one by one."

"In this life, the Immortal Realm will be unable to stop our invasion!"

Behind him, several men in black armor remained silent. Beneath their black armor, only their eyes, mostly white, were visible, making them appear like the eyes of the dead.

Upon hearing the words "Immortal Realm," a faint black aura emanated from them, causing the surrounding grass to wither instantly. A bird that was too close to the treetop was struck by this aura and fell to the ground, instantly dying.

"Send a message to that person: we are about to enter the capital,"

He spoke.

A carrier pigeon was also released behind them.

……

Lin House.

Late at night, Lin Ruoxue was still playing the zither, seemingly troubled.

The carrier pigeon landed.

But she didn't even glance at the carrier pigeon, continuing to play her zither. When the piece finally ended, she stood up and played the last note, and the carrier pigeon's head was severed.

She didn't look at the letter on the carrier pigeon's leg.

The arrival of this letter is enough; I know its contents without even reading it.

"father,"

She walked to the outside of Lin Zheng's study, pushed open the door, and found the room brightly lit.

Lin Zheng put down the book in his hand, looked up at his daughter, and said:

"Li Lan's ancestors were from the Li clan of the Immortal Realm, a great immortal clan."

“In the past, his ancestors went to the Abyss Realm to quell a rebellion, but failed to withdraw in time, so they were scattered among the mortals. The Abyss Realm lost all its spirituality, so the cultivators of the past fell into mortals, and even today, Li Lan cannot even cultivate martial arts.”

"But he still carries the blood of the Li clan of the Immortal Realm. This divine affinity is enough to protect you."

He sighed.

"I understand what Father is thinking."

Lin Ruoxue said, "However, Ruoxue does not need anyone's protection."

"My daughter will become an immortal."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zheng was extremely shocked. He looked at Lin Ruoxue and, for the first time, felt that his daughter was a complete stranger.

Lin Ruoxue's expression was indifferent. At this moment, she seemed to have become an ethereal goddess, no longer possessing any human emotions.

"I will go to Jinyang Palace to practice immortal techniques."

She spoke slowly.

Lin Zheng was shocked and exclaimed, "What? You've gone mad!?"

Li Guan has been suppressing the Lin family for a long time, and the two sides have become even more hostile after the Qiudao Mountain incident.

On the street today, Lin Zheng showed his killing intent to Li Guan without any restraint for the first time.

But now, his own daughter is actually going to join the enemy's sect for the sake of so-called immortality?

This……

It was as if he had been struck a heavy blow to the heart!

"Your daughter knows that you are a man who keeps his chastity, so from this day forward, your relationship with me is severed, and we shall have no further connection."
