Assassin Wu Liuqi starts with a bull and horse talisman and smashes Red Fang.

When Huikong asked her a question, Gu Qianhan pretended to be surprised.

"what?"

“I say, Master Huikong, you mustn’t wrong an innocent person.”

"It was clearly your master who suffered a qi deviation during practice, leading to the loss of his spiritual power and his death. What does this have to do with me?"

Upon hearing this, the monk Huikong's eyes widened in surprise.

Their master was not suffering from qi deviation during practice; it was merely a pretext used by the Xuanwu Kingdom's royal family to appease the people.

Before he could say anything, Gu Qianhan appeared in front of him in an instant, patted his shoulder and whispered something.

“Master Huikong, let me give you a piece of advice: this is the imperial city.”

"His Majesty is all-powerful and influential, and with your powerful shout just now, it's impossible that he didn't know I was coming."

"I know what you want to say."

"But don't forget, His Majesty has already ruled out the nature of your master's death."

"If you dare to say anything out of line, you might lose your head."

Gu Qianhan's instantaneous movement startled Huikong, who hadn't expected the opponent's speed to be so terrifying.

He's right. His master's death has indeed been classified by His Majesty as a case of demonic possession.

He was simply unwilling to accept that his master had died so mysteriously.

But Gu Qianhan's words just now were also a reminder to me.

They are now in the capital city; His Majesty cannot possibly be unaware of their arrival.

But just as he was about to thank the other party for the reminder, Gu Qianhan's words reached his ears again.

"Your master was indeed killed by me."

"But so what? He insisted on meddling in other people's business; he brought this upon himself."

"Oh, right, I forgot to tell you."

“I poured quicklime into his eyes, mouth and nose, and also cut off his tongue.”

“I even refined his last bit of soul, tsk tsk tsk.”

"Your master was shouting 'Your disciple will avenge me' before he died, haha."

Upon hearing this, Monk Huikong glared at Gu Qianhan, who was grinning maliciously, with eyes wide open.

"Oh dear, is that little bald monk angry?"

"Are we going to avenge that bald monk?"

Faced with Gu Qianhan's provocative words, Monk Huikong clenched his fists.

"What? I've already told you, and you still won't avenge your master?"

"Then your master died in vain?"

Just as Huikong's last shred of reason was about to be overwhelmed by anger, a squad of silver-armored guards appeared.

"Grand Preceptor, and the Supreme Sword Master, His Majesty requests your presence."

Gu Qianhan said "oh" and was about to leave with the silver-armored guards.

The monk Huikong behind him glared fiercely at Gu Qianhan, without moving an inch.

Seeing this, the silver-armored guard in the lead seemed a little puzzled, but just then, a young eunuch appeared.

The visitor was none other than Eunuch Hou.

Several silver-armored guards immediately bowed to him.

Then, Eunuch Hou ignored the others and looked directly at Monk Huikong.

“National Preceptor Huikong, His Majesty has another imperial edict that I specifically request to deliver to you.”

Seeing that the other party was still standing there blankly, Eunuch Hou looked somewhat displeased.

"Is the Imperial Advisor going to stand up to receive the decree?"

Upon hearing this, Huikong snapped out of his daze and quickly knelt down.

"I am here."

At this moment, Eunuch Hou gave a light hum and continued speaking.

"There are many things I am aware of, and I know you have your reasons, but I still hope you will prioritize the overall situation."

After saying that, Eunuch Hou cleared his throat.

"That's what His Majesty instructed our family to do."

“National Preceptor Huikong, Mr. Gu, please don’t keep His Majesty waiting.”

After saying that, Eunuch Hou turned his head away and ignored Huikong. At this moment, Gu Qianhan chuckled.

"Did you hear that? His Majesty said that the overall situation must be prioritized."

He then stepped forward and chatted warmly with the stern-faced Eunuch Hou.

"Eunuch Hou, thank you very much."

After saying that, he took out a huge gold ingot from his sleeve and blatantly handed it to the other party.

At this moment, several silver-armored guards turned their heads away, but Eunuch Hou smiled and pushed the gold ingot back.

"Mr. Gu, what are you doing? I'm just a messenger."

Gu Qianhan shook her head.

"Oh dear, you've misunderstood. Let's keep things separate. This is a gift for our first meeting."

Actually, Gu Qianhan had just used the speed of the Rabbit Talisman to secretly take it from the Xuanwu Kingdom's treasury.

These people are just ordinary mortals and simply can't react in time.

Upon seeing this, Eunuch Hou chuckled and accepted the gold ingot.

"Mr. Gu, then I'll accept your offer without hesitation."

...............

Gu Qianhan, full of vigor, followed behind Eunuch Hou, humming a little tune.

Monk Huikong kept silently reciting the calming mantra in his mind, trying to keep himself calm.

Soon, the two arrived at the Hall of Mental Cultivation under the guidance of Eunuch Hou.

"Please come in, Your Majesty. His Majesty is in the Hall of Mental Cultivation."

Gu Qianhan nodded and stepped directly into the main hall, with the monk Huikong following behind him.

Gu Qianhan chuckled at this.

"Why is National Preceptor Huikong following behind me instead of walking alongside me? Could it be that he intends to ambush me to avenge your master?"

Hearing this, Monk Huikong became even angrier, but just then a burst of laughter came from behind him.

"Hahaha, stop trying to provoke him."

“Huikong, you too. I think we should let bygones be bygones and look forward.”

As soon as the words were spoken, a man with a full beard, wearing golden armor and sporting blue curly hair, walked over with a cheerful smile.

This man was none other than the emperor of the Xuanwu Kingdom.

It is also the current host of the Heavenly Rakshasa.

Upon seeing the other party, the monk Huikong immediately knelt down, while Gu Qianhan stood upright and remained unmoved.

There was no way around it; in his second life, as a citizen of the Dragon Kingdom, he wasn't so spineless.

Upon seeing this, the emperor was not angry at all; instead, he burst into laughter.

"He truly is the supreme swordsman of my Xuanwu Kingdom, possessing an unyielding spirit. I am very pleased."

"Come on, let's go inside and talk."

At this moment, the emperor of Xuanwu Kingdom sat on the throne, Gu Qianhan sat on the bestowed seat, and Huikong stood to the side.

As the imperial advisor, he just stood there.

Huikong knew that the emperor did this on purpose because he was somewhat dissatisfied with his own behavior just now.

At this moment, the Emperor of Xuanwu Kingdom looked at Gu Qianhan with a smile.

"I am very happy that Mr. Gu can come."

"But I know that Mr. Gu must have something to say about coming to the capital today. Why don't you tell me?"

Hearing this, Gu Qianhan smiled and nodded.

"I have come here today because I have something to discuss with you."

"only……"

At this point, Gu Qianhan looked at the monk Huikong standing to the side.

The emperor chuckled upon seeing this.

"Huikong".

Upon hearing the emperor call his name, Huikong immediately bowed.

"His Majesty."

"Huikong, if you have anything important to say, tell me now. If not, you may leave for now."
