Chapter 179: Breaking off the Engagement (Part )
Xu Shanshan raised his head slightly, his flickering eyes revealing a deep vortex: "You want to save people..."
These words were spoken to Chi Jiangdong and Gu Yuejiarong.
Turning her head, she opened her mouth again: "You want to know the truth..."
These words were naturally directed to Wei Canghao.
"What about you?" Xu Shanshan looked at Master Jiashan, who had not spoken yet, and his attitude was hard to tell: "What do you want?"
Master Jiashan's heart tightened and he wanted to touch the rosary again, but his fingers curled up. He restrained himself and relaxed his tense body.
From beginning to end he had only one thought.
"Why are you doing all this? How can I help you?"
His eyes were like the warm spring sun falling on her, trying to dispel the haze for her, and they were also like the deep lake water, revealing tranquility and gentleness.
Hearing this, Xu Shanshan was stunned for a moment.
Help her?
She looked up to the sky and smiled, a faint smile with curved corners of her mouth and an upward arc, as if hiding endless thoughts and secrets.
The wind and snow blew her short hair, but the next moment, her black hair grew inch by inch until it reached her waist.
Perhaps only someone like him with pure thoughts, who always holds in his heart the persistent pursuit of truth, goodness and beauty, would not care about gains and losses, would be so determined and single-minded, and would never give up on her.
He can tolerate everything, treat everyone with equality, and bring relief and hope to suffering.
He also wanted to save her, as if it came from a sense of mission deep in his heart. She only signed a contract for a month, but he might have to devote his whole life to it...
But she doesn't need anyone to save her.
"I was able to change my fate and be reborn this time thanks to your selfless assistance in lending me your magical instruments. I am naturally disabled and weak, but it is also because of your warm and sincere treatment of me that I have been able to travel safely along the way..."
Her soft black hair was unrestrained, slightly covering her forehead, and her voice was gentle, like the breeze brushing past her ears.
"Back then, the world's number one fortune teller wanted to marry into the marriage alliance with your five families because he calculated that your five families and my fate are naturally compatible and can help me boost my fate... But now, I no longer need you."
This night was so long, yet so short. She looked at the first ray of sunlight rising from the horizon and squinted her eyes slightly: "Just consider it as I owe you one. Now I will repay you, but from now on, we have nothing to do with each other anymore."
The atmosphere seemed to be frozen. Li Yehe, Wei Canghao, Chi Jiangdong, Gu Yuejiarong and Master Jiashan, who were struggling to get up, had serious expressions and stood upright, staring at Xu Shanshan.
"I agreed to your request to cancel the engagement on Mount Quexie."
The light spots surrounding her all rushed towards the sky, and they suddenly saw a golden letter of withdrawal of engagement appear in the sky, with their names and hers on it...but the line with "Xu Shanshan" was changed to "Qingwushen".
When the three words "Qing Wu Shen" appear, the cancellation of engagement will take effect immediately.
The air seemed to have stopped flowing, and in the dead silence, the only sound was their heavy breathing.
Chi Jiangdong rushed forward and shouted at Xu Shanshan, "I didn't say I wanted to cancel the engagement?"
Wei Canghao stared at her intently, his face livid: "Did you ask for my opinion before you broke off the engagement?"
Gu Yuejiarong stood there in a daze, as if he had been cast under a spell.
Master Jiashan's face was pale and his eyes were lifeless, but he kept his eyes closed and said nothing.
Li Yehe stood there stiffly. He seemed to have not yet recovered from the sudden incident and his mind was blank.
Why did she break off the engagement with them?
Obviously, he was about to accept it... How could she change her mind so easily... Xu Shanshan clenched her fingers, and the letter of withdrawal of engagement shattered into golden light, falling into the morning air. The golden powder and the golden morning light reflected each other and fell into their eyes...
Such a beautiful and dreamy scenery was extremely dazzling at this moment. The strong light came straight at them without any preparation, making their eyes red in an instant.
"Da da da--" A large number of black-armored soldiers came from the west, and the sky was filled with blazing light. In the most dazzling place, the sunlight gradually outlined their mighty figures and arranged them into a barrier.
A high-pitched and passionate cry resounded through the sky, ethereal and distant, penetrating layers of clouds and mist and reaching people's hearts. The feather tail on the horizon spread out colorful glass light, and the earth was bright and beautiful.
People gradually climbed up the walls of Qihe City, and there were also people standing on the red tower to look out.
They stared at the distant horizon. The outline of the armored army was looming in the halo. The fluttering military flags were majestic. The symbols on them were eye-catching and solemn, shining in the sun.
That, that is the "Luan Flag"? !
"Master Jiashan, haven't you always suspected that I'm not Xu Shanshan? In fact, you guessed correctly..."
Thousands of troops came to welcome the emperor, led by Major General Huo. Faced with the army, everyone was panicked and doubtful, so frightened that they didn't know what to do. However, Xu Shanshan walked forward confidently in the surprised and dazed eyes of everyone.
Someone presented her with a long cloak with a dragon and phoenix pattern. She put it on her shoulders. The cloak fell to the ground, which made her tall and slender figure look even more prominent, making her look lonely and proud.
She was calm and composed before the army.
"I am Emperor Yue of Jing State."
Major General Huo led the troops to kneel and pay homage: "This humble general bows to His Majesty the Emperor. Long live His Majesty."
"We pay our respects to His Majesty the Emperor Yue. Long live His Majesty."
The soldiers knelt in unison, a dull and surging shout echoed over the earth, and everyone was stunned by this incomparable momentum.
She... is actually her current emperor? !
According to rumors, the Emperor Yue who was already terminally ill, without moral integrity and without political power? !
How is this possible? !
The magicians whose skills were wasted were all stunned.
Although they found it hard to believe, they had no choice but to believe it with the irrefutable evidence of the emperor's "Luan Banner" and the proof of the Huo family army's escort.
"No wonder she has been chasing the Seventh Prince like a cat chasing a mouse... The reason is that the orthodox government is trying to eliminate the traitors..."
Xu Shanshan, no, now she should be Emperor Yue, the God of Qingwu.
Wearing a jade-white mask, she only revealed a pair of dark and deep eyes.
"The world is united. From today on, my world will not tolerate any dirt or dust. The seven kings and those who plotted rebellion will be executed!"
"Back then, the Grand Master was merciful and only exiled the Xuanmen people. But I will not allow any more practitioners to exist in Jing Country. Once discovered... I will kill them!"
Every word she spoke was filled with a strong smell of blood, and they seemed to see a scene of a river of blood in the future of Jing State.
"Let's start with the cleanup, starting with the temple on the holy mountain."
-
The Emperor Yue of Jing State recovered from her serious illness. Not only did she kill the Grand Master, she also wanted to massacre the entire Holy Mountain Temple. Everyone was shocked by her crazy behavior.
Compared with these things, the fact that Emperor Yue was a woman did not cause much waves. After all, among the emperors of Jing Kingdom, there have been several female emperors with remarkable political achievements.
