He's obviously the villain, but the heroine is all for him?

So when he heard that the other party was flying on a sword, the State Master of Changle Kingdom was thinking about the other party's strength.

"You calm down the immortal first, we will be there soon!" The current emperor straightened his clothes and gave orders to the commander of the imperial guards.

The commander took the order and left, and only the two of them were left in the main hall.

"Brother Ran, could it be that the other party is a cultivator even more powerful than you? What should we do then?"

The new emperor had a very representative appearance: a round face, short hair, a beard, a little fat, squinty eyes, and he liked to lick his tongue when talking privately with the imperial teacher. His voice was indescribably gentle.

"Brother Rui, our Changle Kingdom is ultimately a subordinate kingdom of the Xuanling Sect. If that cultivator is not a distinguished guest of the sect, then he is just a cultivator passing by. He should not pose a threat to us."

"Brother Ran is right, that person is most likely the Immortal Leader of the Upper Sect! Quick, let's go and greet him as soon as possible, so as not to neglect the Immortal Leader!"

Liu Ran agreed to Gongsun Rui's words on the surface, but he was actually having second thoughts in his heart.

Although he liked the obedient and sensible Gongsun Rui very much, but compared with his own life, the latter was definitely more important!

The reason why I agreed to rebel against him was, one, due to emotional factors, and the other, for my own better cultivation.

Changle Kingdom was under the jurisdiction of the Xuanling Sect. If he dared to attempt to seize the throne, the Xuanling Sect would certainly send someone to deal with him, and he would be absolutely dead. However, if he rebelled on behalf of a prince with royal blood, it would be an internal change of dynasty, and the Xuanling Sect would have no way to intervene.

The only pity is that the little princess and the old eunuch escaped.

The two walked together and came to the outside of the palace.

The female cultivator covered her face with a black veil, so Liu Ran couldn't see her appearance clearly.

Gongsun Rui smiled and bowed, "Where are you from, Immortal? Are you passing through here? Is there something you wish to see me about?"

"Uncle Rui."

The call of "Uncle Rui" instantly ruined Gongsun Rui's smiling face!

Gongsun Xiao lifted the black veil, revealing a pretty face that was familiar yet a little strange to Gongsun Rui.

Gongsun Xiao has grown up a little and become much prettier. More importantly, her originally gentle eyes are now so sharp and dazzling!

Gongsun Rui took a step back. He didn't expect that Gongsun Xiao would come back and become an "immortal"!

"It turned out to be the little princess."

Liu Ran had already begun to think of retreating. His own cultivation level was only at the early stage of the Star-Stepping Realm. Since the other party could fly, his strength must be similar to his. He valued his life too much and was not willing to have a dispute with the other party.

Canglang!

Gongsun Xiao drew out his shining sword, which was attached with sharp sword energy, which made the eyes of everyone present sore and they couldn't stop crying!

Along with the sword energy burst out, there was also her cultivation level of the sixth level of the Moon-Chasing Realm!

puff~

Gongsun Rui knelt down directly. The aura of the other party, which was countless times stronger than Liu Ran's, told him that there was no way Liu Ran could protect him today, and he could only try to play the emotional card.

Liu Ran also knelt down. Knowing the cruelty of the world of immortal cultivation, he was very skilled at kneeling down and admitting defeat in seconds. He had done this before.

"I've been possessed by the devil. I deserve to die. I deserve to die!" Gongsun Rui kept slapping his mouth, making his already chubby face even more red and swollen.

"You still know you deserve to die?"

As soon as Gongsun Xiao raised his sword, a cut that started bleeding profusely appeared on the face of Gongsun Rui, who was only at the Condensed Veins Realm!

"what!"

Gongsun Rui's screams like a pig being slaughtered were heard, but Xiaoxiao didn't even smile with satisfaction.

"You beast who killed your brother to seize the throne! If Uncle Lian hadn't protected me back then, I would have died in your hands too! What's the point of knowing you were wrong now?"

"No, no, no, Xiaoxiao, how could I possibly kill you!"

Gongsun Rui ignored the blood on his face and kowtowed repeatedly: "I swear, I swear to heaven, if I had wanted to attack you, I...I would have been struck by lightning!"

In an instant, the sky was covered by dark clouds, and countless lightning flashes were emitted from it.

Gongsun Rui was dumbfounded at that time. He swore that he had no intention of hurting Gongsun Xiao, but why did God treat him like this?

He didn't know Ling Yun's abilities, but Gongsun Xiao did. If the oath worked, there wouldn't be so many betrayals. It must be the young master secretly helping him.

"Humph, you're still being stubborn even when you're about to die!"

"No, Xiaoxiao, I... no no no, I... bah bah bah, uncle, I have never intended to attack you. I even treated your mother well and served her well. I just confined her to Liuxin Palace. If you don't believe me, you can go ask her if I have ever done anything inappropriate to her."

Gongsun Xiao raised her eyebrows slightly. She could tell that the other party was indeed not lying. If he could lie so naturally in a life-or-death situation, he would be considered a genius.

However, she didn't come here today to see the other party's attitude.

Only kill!

Just as she was about to take action, Liu Ran suddenly jumped up, picked up a strange ball and threw it at Gongsun Xiao.

The girl raised her sword and swung it, causing the sphere to explode, sending out countless unknown dust particles!

Gongsun Xiao's vision was blocked, and the monk took out a broom-like object, mounted it and tried to escape.

"Harry Potter?"

Ling Yun, who was above the clouds, complained that this trick could not fool Gongsun Xiao, so there was no need for him to take action.

Gongsun Xiao, realizing what was happening, was furious. She had very few actual fights, mostly sparring with the older sisters. Aside from Zhou Jing occasionally using heavy hands, the other women generally gave her the benefit of the doubt, so she hadn't experienced any life-or-death battles. Facing a competitor like this, she was a little inexperienced.

Fortunately, her cultivation level was much higher, and before the monk could fly out of the palace, the shadow of an ancient and elegant long sword appeared behind the girl.

This is her martial soul, named Yuehua, which can make the person and sword become one, unleashing a powerful killing force.

As the moonlight appeared, Liu Ran was cut into two pieces in an instant without any resistance. The two halves of his body fell to the ground and thrashed a few times before they were completely dead.

Gongsun Rui witnessed the death of his lover with his own eyes, and was so scared that he fell to the ground with his crotch wet.

"Oh, my dear uncle, it seems that your Imperial Master doesn't intend to take you away with him, does he?"

The girl approached Gongsun Rui with a sword in hand. The new emperor used all his limbs to retreat continuously.

The guards have been kneeling since they recognized Gongsun Xiao. Back then, they stood on the side of the former emperor, but later changed their stance when they saw that the situation was hopeless. Now that the girl has achieved success in her cultivation, they have also tactfully slid down to their knees.

"I will kill you the same way you killed my father!"

"No, Xiaoxiao..."

"Don't call me Xiaoxiao, it's disgusting!"

Gongsun Rui was in despair. The girl's eyes were extremely cold. He knew that he would not be able to escape death today no matter what, and his heart was extremely desolate.

As the girl's aura grew stronger and stronger, and the shadow of the ancient sword behind her became more and more solid, the desperate Gongsun Rui covered his eyes with his arms and wailed loudly.

"Gongsun Wen is not your father!"

Sure enough, the girl's sword stopped and hovered less than twenty centimeters above his head.

Gongsun Rui waited for a while, but felt no tingling sensation on his body. He opened his eyes a little, but was forced to close them again due to the piercing sword energy.

"Why, are you trying to say that you are my biological father?"

The girl bit her lip and prepared to stab again.

"No, no, no, that's not what I meant, but Gongsun Wen is really not your father... Gululu..."

Gongsun Xiao's sharp sword pierced the opponent's throat, blocking his next words.

"Whether it's true or not, I will find out. He treated me like his own son. I will offer your head as a sacrifice to him. Only in this way can I do justice to his spirit in heaven."

After saying that, he swung the sword sideways and chopped off Gongsun Rui's head.

She put Gongsun Rui's head in a brocade box and threw it into the storage ring.

Turning around, the girl looked at the guards who were trembling like shrimps, a hint of sarcasm appeared on her face.

"I remember you. Father has cultivated you a lot. Back then, you couldn't resist Liu Ran's tactics. I don't blame you. It was just because of your limited abilities. But now you've become his lackey. What's the point of keeping an ungrateful person like you?"

"Your Highness, I was forced into this!" The commander of the royal guards took off his helmet, tears streaming down his face. "My wife and daughter were imprisoned by him. If I hadn't worked for him, they...they would have died!"

The girl's blood-stained sword trembled slightly. The mastermind was dead, and there was no point in killing others, so she let them go for the time being.

She arrived at Liuxin Palace, and the eunuchs and palace maids along the way did not dare to stop her and let her go straight in.

Liuxin Palace is the largest palace in the harem. Gongsun Xiao grew up here and still remembers every tree and blade of grass here.

She remembered it very clearly. When she was a child, her mother was basically the one who accompanied her. Her father was busy with his work, but whenever he had free time, he would come here to play with her and teach her to read and write.

Originally she thought it was a warm and ordinary thing, but after hearing Gongsun Rui say that Gongsun Wen was not her biological father, many details that she didn't care about began to be magnified infinitely.

The way his father and mother get along is indeed very strange.

They have a very good relationship and can be said to respect each other like guests, but the strange thing is that they are too polite!

This doesn't look like a relationship between a husband and wife, but more like a relationship between good friends or siblings.

When she was a child, she didn't think too much, and then she was shrouded in hatred. It was not until she followed Ling Yun that her world regained color.

"Ah, Princess!"

"His Royal Highness is back!"

"Quick, go inform the Queen that Her Royal Highness the Princess is back!"

These palace maids also grew up with Gongsun Xiao. Even though her face was full of murderous intent, even though her clothes were stained with blood, even though she was holding a bloody sword, they were still not afraid, but were extremely happy.

The girl's eyes softened as she realized that she looked a little scary now. She quickly changed her outfit and looked a bit like her former self.

There are only palace maids but no eunuchs in the entire Liuxin Palace, because her mother does not like those rootless people. The specific reason is unknown.

"Xiaoxiao!"

After a while, a mature woman with a beautiful face and a plump figure, who looked very similar to Gongsun Xiao, ran out quickly.

"Mother!"

Gongsun Xiao thought of countless scenes of reuniting with his mother, but none of them could match the present moment. For a moment, he forgot everything and threw himself into his mother's arms.

"Xiaoxiao, my poor child, you were finally caught by that damn Gongsun Rui!" The woman's eyes were filled with tears. She held Gongsun Xiao and examined her for a long time. She didn't find anything wrong with her, so she felt relieved. "But it doesn't matter. It's a great thing that we can be reunited. You will live here with your mother from now on. Although Gongsun Rui is shameless, he still has some humanity and won't..."

"I have killed him."

"What?" The woman was stunned, her eyes, as beautiful as Gongsun Xiao's, wide open.

The girl took out the brocade box and opened the lid.

After seeing Gongsun Rui's head, the woman was not afraid. She was stunned for a few seconds, then the corners of her mouth rose, and then she burst into laughter.

"Well done, well done! Gongsun Rui, you, a beast worse than pigs and dogs who killed your brother to seize power, finally died at the hands of my daughter!"

She smiled with tears in her eyes, and looked at the girl with a complicated expression: "Xiaoxiao, how did you do it? Could it be that Liu Ran changed his tactics?"

"I killed that guy as well."

The girl didn't say much, but showed her martial spirit to her mother.

After seeing Yuehua, the woman understood everything and hugged the girl again and cried for a while.

The women returned to the palace, and Gongsun Xiao briefly described how she joined the Xuanling Sect and practiced with Lingyun.

"You actually became the Emperor's maid?" The woman was overjoyed when she heard that Ling Yun had become the Great Emperor. "No wonder your cultivation has advanced so rapidly, and you avenged your blood feud in such a short time!"

"Yes, the young master is very good to me."

When Ling Yun was mentioned, a smile appeared on Gongsun Xiao's face.

"That's fine." The woman held the girl's hand, unwilling to let go. "From now on, you must serve the Emperor well, understand?"

"I know~"

Seeing the fleeting shyness on her daughter's face, the woman leaned over and whispered something in her ear.

"Oh, mother, why do you ask such a question?"

"You are so beautiful, and we are together every day. Any normal man would be tempted."

Gongsun Xiao knew that her dead uncle was a gay and was having an affair with the national teacher, but she heard something behind her mother's words and thought about what Gongsun Rui said before he died, so she raised her doubts.

"Did he really say that?"

"Yes, he said that the emperor is not my biological father."

"You believed him?"

The girl smiled faintly: "If I didn't raise him, I could return him even if I cut off my finger. But if I raised him before he was born, I could never return him even after a hundred lifetimes! My father is always my father."

The woman gently stroked the back of the girl's hand and nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, even if she is his biological daughter, she can't get so much attention from him."

"Mother, could it be that Father..."
