Why did you provoke her? Even Heaven itself is afraid of her.

At this moment, outside the forbidden area of ​​the imperial palace, after the lightning tribulation disappeared, the emperor and others of the White Tiger Kingdom waited anxiously, unsure whether the lightning tribulation had truly vanished.

After all, the lightning tribulation disappeared before it even struck.

"No, is this over or not?"

Tianze asked anxiously.

The emperor of the White Tiger Kingdom frowned, also filled with doubt; he too wanted to know.

The Queen looked in the direction of the forbidden area with the same worry, and finally slowly said, "Why don't we go in and take a look?"

Seeing their worried expressions, Mo Yu kindly reminded them:

"Don't worry, the lightning tribulation has disappeared. You can go and take a look."

"Really?"

Tianze looked at Moyu, and the Emperor and Empress of the White Tiger Kingdom leaped directly to the forbidden area.

"Senior Ling? What are you doing here?"

At the forbidden sect's location, Ling Yun was seen leisurely leaning against the stone wall.

The emperor of the White Tiger Kingdom glanced at the open stone door and forcefully suppressed the urge to rush in.

At this moment, the Empress's gaze toward Ling Yun also became more dignified.

She knew quite a bit about this patriarch of the Ling family in the Azure Dragon Kingdom.

"If you don't want to get a beating from your ancestors, I suggest you wait a bit."

Ling Yun kindly said that the Emperor of the White Tiger Kingdom was taken aback. He and the Empress looked at each other, both somewhat confused. But judging from Ling Yun's expression, he clearly did not intend to explain anything.

Just then, Tianze and the others followed.

"Father, Mother, what are you doing standing here? Why don't you go inside?"

"I have some business with Senior Ling. Why don't you go and check on your ancestors first?"

Tianze asked with some curiosity, and the Emperor and Empress of the White Tiger Kingdom immediately realized that they should start plotting against their son as soon as possible.

"Alright, then Father, Mother, I'll go in first."

Without a second thought, Tianze rushed in.

Ling Yun shook his head helplessly. What a fool.

When Yi Xuan saw what the Emperor and Empress of the White Tiger Kingdom were doing, he immediately knew that they were setting a trap for Tian Ze, and it seemed that someone was going to be in trouble.

Sure enough, the sounds of being beaten came from inside the stone gate, accompanied by Tianze's cries of pain.

After a while, the noise inside gradually subsided.

Then, they saw Tianze walk out of the stone gate with a bruised and swollen face, looking at the Emperor and Empress of the White Tiger Kingdom with a wronged expression.

Seeing Tianze like this, the Emperor and Empress of the White Tiger Kingdom couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness they listened to advice and didn't rush in immediately, otherwise they would have been the ones to suffer this embarrassment.

"Father, you are truly ruthless."

Tianze said through gritted teeth.

No wonder the two of them didn't go in just now and even lied to him that they had something to do.

All the feelings were just to make him get beaten up.

The Emperor and Empress of the White Tiger Kingdom coughed lightly and said:

"Well, this can't be blamed on your mother and me. We don't know what happened either."

Tianze rolled his eyes at them, thinking that even a three-year-old wouldn't believe what he was saying.

The Empress knew that something had indeed gone wrong, and spoke up to comfort her:

"Alright, alright, Mother, please be careful next time, please be careful next time."

"If it's not the Empress Dowager, will there be a next time?"

Tianze stared wide-eyed at his mother in disbelief.

"Ahem, I misspoke. Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Is your ancestor alright?"

Seeing that his mother had changed the subject so easily, he didn't say anything more and said rather irritably:

"Our ancestor is alright."

Upon hearing that their ancestor was alright, the two of them secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Mo Yu and Baili Chengfeng also stepped forward at this time. Mo Yu's gaze swept over everyone and finally landed on Ling Yun.

Ling Yun felt Mo Yu's gaze and looked up to meet his eyes.

"Sister, even if you want to save your disciple, why do you have to go to this extent?"

There are plenty of ways to improve this old man's talent, so there's no need to directly enhance it.

Ling Yun raised an eyebrow slightly and looked into the stone gate:

"It was just a small favor."

Mo Yu was taken aback upon hearing this, then shook his head slightly, seemingly helpless:

"Sister, you should know that by getting involved, you will change his fate, which will in turn affect the fate of others."

"Isn't this better? The more powerful people in this world, the better, so that the power of the rules in this world will be easier to obtain."

Mo Yu frowned but didn't say anything more.

This world truly needs to accelerate the power of its rules.

Thinking about it, I couldn't help but look at my hands again.

It's also because he's useless; his power of rules can't be inputted here. Otherwise, why would we need to go through all this trouble?

Sensing Mo Yu's sudden dejection, Ling Yun transmitted his voice again:

"Don't overthink it. Some things aren't your fault."

Mo Yu nodded slightly, but could not hide the loneliness in her eyes:

"Sister, I understand, but the situation on the Xuan Tian Continent is becoming increasingly complicated, and I can't do much to help. I feel a bit uneasy about it."

Ling Yun had always helped him without asking for anything in return.

"What are you little brats still standing outside for? Get in here!"

The old man's voice came, and the Emperor and Empress of the White Tiger Kingdom were startled before entering the stone gate.

"Let's go take a look too."

Ling Yun spoke up, lest Mo Yu get stuck on something again.

Mo Yu, Baili Chengfeng, and Yi Xuan, who kept a low profile, followed Ling Yun through the stone gate.

Inside the stone cave, although he hadn't officially succeeded in advancing, the old man's powerful aura didn't diminish his imposing presence.

Because he did not truly succeed in advancing, the disheveled state he was in after being struck by lightning was still there, but he was still in good spirits.

"Ancestor, how are you?"

After entering the stone gate, the Emperor and Empress of the White Tiger Kingdom asked cautiously.

The old man glared at the White Tiger Kingdom's emperor and his entourage, his beard bristling. Although he was angry that these brats had embarrassed him in front of his seniors, he understood the situation; they simply didn't have time to dress him.

So he slightly raised his hand, signaling them not to worry:

"It's alright, it was a close call, all thanks to the Ling family patriarch."

Having said that, the patriarch looked at Ling Yun and continued:

"Thank you, senior, for taking the initiative."

"You have already thanked me, and my saving you was merely for a deal with the Emperor of the White Tiger Kingdom."

"One thing at a time. The White Tiger Kingdom will forever remember the kindness shown to the Ling family patriarch today, and will go through fire and water for him if he ever needs our help in the future."

The old man's expression hardened, and he solemnly replied.

Ling Yun didn't say anything more about it.

"Your current situation is not a true success in advancing. You should focus on taking care of your body and prepare to face the upcoming tribulation."

"I understand what you're saying, senior. I will do it."

Tianze, standing to the side, rubbed his still swollen and painful cheek and said in a muffled voice:

"Grandmother, you must get well soon. I'm still waiting to learn your amazing skills."

Seeing this, the old man gave Tianze a disapproving look.

He felt his hands getting itchy again.

The Emperor of the White Tiger Kingdom kicked him directly, saying that the brat was becoming increasingly clueless.
