The Marriage of an Esteemed Supreme Healer, a Noble Ruler

2325 Fantasy Divine Hall’s Item

This low questioning immediately caused Jiu Long and Xi Yan to be taken aback!

“Emperor?!” The two of them looked shocked. Their previous arrogance disappeared without a trace, and it was replaced by deep fear.

“W-why are you here?” Jiu Long’s face directly became white. What… did I say to the Emperor just now?! No wonder I felt that something was amiss when I saw the back view. This back view, this aura… I actually didn’t recognize him!

Actually, Jiu Long could not be blamed for this. All these years, he could count the number of times he met the Emperor.

On the one hand, the Emperor didn’t reveal himself most of the time. On the other hand, he and Xi Yan were low in the rankings, so they were rather far away from him.

They couldn’t be considered to be familiar with him. Besides… why would they think that the Emperor would appear here!?

Rong Xiu looked up slightly. Far away, he could faintly see three figures.

They were Chu Liuyue’s group of three.

Their abilities couldn’t be compared to Jiu Long and Xi Yan. Besides, Qi Han and Lu Feng were just true gods and were injured, so their speeds were restricted. Thus, there was such a large distance between the two parties in such a short amount of time.

However, this was convenient for Rong Xiu. This bit of time was enough for him to solve the problem of these two people.

Thinking of this, Rong Xiu retracted his gaze and looked at the two of them again.

Feeling the nonchalant and cold gaze on them, Jiu Long and Xi Yan felt deeply suppressed, and their bodies tensed up.

“Didn’t you already guess why I’m here?” said Rong Xiu lightly.

The two of them were dazed for a moment. After a while, they suddenly recovered their senses and were beyond shock. Wait a minute. The Emperor means… He really came with Shangguan Yue?!

But since when did Shangguan Yue have any relations to the Emperor with her background?! And it seems like they have an extraordinary relationship. If not, Shangguan Yue wouldn’t have that attitude and tone when she talked about the Emperor previously.

Xi Yan suddenly thought of something and gasped. “Emperor, that Shangguan Yue… belongs to you?”

When he asked this, he was guessing if Chu Liuyue was Rong Xiu’s subordinate and nothing else.

However, Rong Xiu was too lazy to correct him and just raised his sharp brows slightly. Belongs to me… This sounds right. She is mine.

His reaction was clearly a tacit agreement to the two of them.

At that moment, they did not know how to react. Why didn’t Shangguan Yue say such an important matter beforehand?! If she had just revealed a slight bit, she wouldn’t have such treatment in Fantasy Divine Palace!

Jiu Long and Xi Yan could not figure it out. The only thing they knew clearly was—they had previously offended Chu Liuyue, and this undoubtedly meant that they had offended the Emperor!

“Emperor, we’re stupid and ignorant, so we didn’t recognize you and made this mistake. Emperor, please forgive us.” Jiu Long recovered his senses and hurriedly begged for mercy.

Other than begging, he could not think of what else to do now.

Previously, he still rushed over excitedly and planned to find the last music score before Chu Liuyue. Even if he couldn’t find it, it was fine if he could settle the person that was in cahoots with her.

Who knew it was this person?! Wouldn’t that be courting death?!

Upon seeing this, Xi Yan immediately followed and was filled with anxiety.

Even though they hadn’t seen the Emperor a lot, they knew his temper clearly. He was not one to be messed with.

Now that they made such a mistake… they could expect severe punishment.

Rong Xiu did not speak.

The surroundings fell silent, as if the air froze at this moment.

The two of them held their breaths in, and their hearts were about to jump out of their throats.

Finally, Rong Xiu spoke. “Go to the Fantasy Divine Sea and receive your punishment. Without my permission, you’re not allowed to leave!”

Hearing this, Jiu Long and Xi Yan were stunned. “Emperor, you mean… now?”

Rong Xiu’s gaze flickered, and his thin lips curled up at an extremely faint and cold angle. “If you can continue staying here, that’ll show your capabilities.”

The two of them were collectively stunned! This meant… if they did not leave immediately, the Emperor would personally take action!

Even if they had all the guts in the world, they wouldn’t take such a risk—wasn’t this willingly pushing the knife into the wound?!

But…

“Emperor, it’s not that we want to purposely refute your command. However, we came with First Deity’s command to find the last music score. If we can’t complete our mission, we can’t explain to First Deity when we go back…” Jiu Long braved himself and spoke with much difficulty.

If they had a slight way, they would not choose to go against the Emperor. But in this situation, they could not help themselves. After all, the deities came from Fantasy Divine Hall. If the First Deity had orders, they would not dare to disobey him.

Even though the Emperor had a distinguished status, he normally would not interfere with Fantasy Divine Hall’s matters.

The music score was also an item of Fantasy Divine Hall. Logically speaking, it was not very related to the Emperor. Why would he personally come here?

Rong Xiu raised his eyebrows slightly. “What, do my orders not surpass First Deity’s sentence?”

“We wouldn’t dare!” Jiu Long and Xi Yan’s souls were about to fly, and they hurriedly denied it.

Not to mention them, even the owner of Fantasy Divine Hall had to be respectful when they saw the Emperor. Why would they dare to say that?

After balancing and being in conflict for some time, they finally nodded with some difficulty. “…We will obey your orders, Emperor! However, the last music score—”

Rong Xiu squinted his eyes slightly. “The music score belongs to Fantasy Divine Hall and should eventually be returned.”

Hearing this, Jiu Long and Xi Yan just thought that he agreed to return the last music score to Fantasy Divine Hall. They heaved a sigh of relief. No matter what, we can at least answer to First Deity…

“Then… we’ll leave first.”

Then, seeing that Rong Xiu looked normal, the two of them bowed to him respectfully before hurrying off.

That speed was even faster than when they came. They were terrified that if they were a step slow, they would have to sacrifice their lives.

In no time, the duo’s figures disappeared into the distance.

At this point, Chu Liuyue’s trio finally arrived.

Seeing that only Rong Xiu was here alone, Chu Liuyue was dazed. “Where’s the two deities?”
