EBE Chapter 388: Sneak
Chapter 388: Sneak
The seventeenth prince entered with his female companion, which really shocked some people.
Zhu Jiu looked at the courtesan and caught a glimpse of soul, which belonged to Chu Yi.
Chu Yi's eyes were fixed on the woman holding Ling Yuanhan's arm, and his expression changed drastically.
He had clearly sent someone to take her away from Jiling, a place of trouble, so why was she here?
The people in Ling Yuanlong's party looked gloomy, because the old emperor was wary of and disgusted with Ling Yuanhan, and he should not have appeared in such an important occasion.
The old emperor did not want Ling Yuanhan to get more help, so he ordered the latter not to enter. So what is the situation now?
The old emperor must know that he can come in now.
Ling Yuanlong sent a message to inquire.
At this time, somewhere in the emperor's exclusive room where he could have a panoramic view of the whole situation, the old emperor swayed the red wine in the cup, squinted his eyes and looked at the beautiful woman beside Ling Yuanhan, with lust in his eyes.
In his heart, although Gu Yixiao's appearance was more outstanding than that of the courtesan, he had no interest in her from head to toe. He still liked this courtesan's appearance more. She was delicate and lively. Just looking at her made him feel five hundred years younger.
such a pity……
The old emperor took a sip of wine unwillingly and replied to his beloved daughter, "Do you know the name of this courtesan?"
Ling Yuanlong: “?”
She investigated the incident in Baisui City as soon as it happened. He was a very ordinary cultivator, with only his face standing out.
"Her name is Chu Ge, Chu Yi's biological sister." said the old emperor.
Ling Yuanlong: “???”
Where did Chu Yi get a sister from! Isn’t he Yue Yao’s only child?
Ling Yuan was confused, but the old emperor was not confused either. "This emperor only knew it a moment earlier than you. Chu Ge and Shiqi just showed up in Huiming Garden, and the former took out a soul source pendant from Chu Yi."
As soon as these words were spoken, Ling Yuanlong instantly realized the importance of Chu Ge.
The Soul Source Pendant is used by soul cultivators to store external soul techniques. It is their backup force when they are desperate. It is equivalent to the combined effect of the soul-restoring pill and talismans of spiritual practitioners.
How can I dare to go out without returning the spiritual elixir after spiritual practice?
It is extremely difficult to peel off the imprint of soul skills. Even Chu Yi has only one imprint after practicing it so far. It is an important means of saving life and vitality in times of crisis.
Chu Ge appeared holding such an important jade pendant, could it be that he picked it up on the road?
"She also took out an item that symbolizes the Yueyao royal family's status." The old emperor clasped his fingers on the wine glass and continued, "It seems that more than 30 years ago, the Yueyao royal family secretly gave birth to a daughter, but for some reason it was never made public and was kept very secret."
Ling Yuanlong quickly accepted this matter and also quickly figured out another thing, which was why the Emperor let people in.
She glanced at Chu Yi, who had a gloomy face.
Firstly, Chu Ge was using Chu Yi's identity and it was difficult to refuse. Secondly, Chu Ge was Princess Yue Yao, and now she was willing to use her brother's Soul Source Pendant as a guarantee for a prince from an enemy country. Let's just say this was not abstract.
Shouldn't such an abstract matter be brought up and discussed in front of Chu Yi and everyone else?
It's so funny. They can't do anything about Chu Yi making trouble for them, but there is a traitor on the other side.
"As for Seventeen, hmph, he did go to great lengths to attend this ball, but that's okay. He's been frustrated before, and his reputation and ability have been questioned. Now he can't cause any trouble that could threaten you."
"Just enjoy watching this Chu family drama." The old emperor laughed, then changed the subject and sighed with emotion, "By the way, remember to come and have a drink with your father later. It's been a long time since we had such a friendly chat like before."
The last sentence is as ordinary as the relationship between an ordinary father and daughter, full of warmth.
The emperor humbles himself to treat a person like a treasure.
"Yes, father." The old emperor heard silence for a moment, then said obediently.
He smiled happily, and his well-maintained face had a rosy glow due to the wine.
The old emperor's gaze fell on Ling Yuanlong, and in a trance he saw the figure of his beloved woman again.
……
At the same time, Ling Yuanhan apologized with a bright smile for being late, and punished himself with three cups of wine. His every move was decisive and full of vigor.
He looks like a decent person, which is very different from the gloomy and unhappy look on his face during the day.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the two of them. They couldn't figure out what was going on. Ling Yuanlong was a prince. How could he be late for such an event? Everyone knew that he was not allowed to show up.
They looked at Chu Ge who obviously knew something.
Because Ling Yuanhan was once killed by Zhu Jiu, Chu Ge is now also quite well-known.
Ling Yuanlong introduced with a graceful smile: "This is my dance partner, Chu Ge."
Everyone flipped through the list in their minds: "?"
Who?
"You all don't know, but it seems that the identity of Mr. Chu Yi's eldest sister is easier to understand." Ling Yuanhan explained with pretended surprise.
Everyone: "!!!"
Their faces were filled with shock.
Only Ling Yuanhan was relaxed and contented, with a smile blooming on his lips. He raised his hand and affectionately combed Chu Ge's hair, and his eyes slid over to Chu Yi.
"Ge'er told me that she missed you very much." Ling Yuanhan smiled gently.
Chu Yi clearly saw the provocation and pride in this man's eyes.
Zhu Jiu and Xing Jun watched this drama, and they had already figured out the origin of the Soul Source Pendant.
Xingjun scratched his head, "This is too dramatic. Why does Broken Defense have to suffer everywhere?"
Zhu Jiu deeply agreed with this.
At this time, Chu Yi guessed how the two people got in, and thought that the old emperor might have deliberately let the two people in without saying a word, using this incident to anger him and take revenge on him.
The old emperor succeeded.
Chu Yi was really angry. On the one hand, he felt very disappointed with Chu Ge, and on the other hand, he was mad at Chu Ge for not listening to his advice and insisting on having a tangle with Ling Yuanlong.
What's so good about Ling Yuanlong that Chu Ge would take out the Soul Source Pendant he gave her for self-defense?
Does Chu Ge know that the relationship between Yueyao and Jiling is dependent on each other on the surface, but in reality it is a life-and-death relationship?
On the other hand, Chunchun was angry because he had suffered a loss and been provoked.
Chu Yi was not the type to get angry on the spot. He secretly sent a message to Chu Ge and questioned him.
Chu Ge felt wronged and puzzled. She answered righteously as follows:
"It's been almost twenty years since what happened. Ji Ling has already given us a lot of compensation. Why are you still holding on to this matter?"
"We Yueyao are originally a vassal state. What good is there in being hostile to Jiling?"
"I didn't help him for nothing. He promised me that if I could successfully enter the ball, he would allow me to be the prince's consort. This kind of marriage between countries will definitely improve the relationship between the two countries!"
"This is our chance to reconcile with Ji Ling!" Chu Ge said in a fearless tone of "sacrificing oneself to save the world".
Chu Yi: “……?”
He could understand each word, but he couldn't understand them when they were put together.
The words "You're mentally retarded" were like leftover rice stuck in my throat that I wanted to vomit but couldn't.
He felt his heart beating fast and his blood boiling, he was very angry.
Chu Yi took a deep breath and tried to present facts and reason with his elder sister who had never found a home and liked to venture out into the world since she was a child.
"Do you believe that if there was no Jueya behind Yueyao, he would have been destroyed long ago?"
"After I was born, Ji Ling secretly used the plague to destroy three cities in order to intimidate Yue Yao, causing countless deaths and injuries. You said you forgive them, but who are you forgiving them for?"
"And that Ling Yuanhan, it's so funny, is a prince's wife something rare? That's my Chu Yi's soul source pendant, you don't ask him for resources, spirit stones, cities, or benefits, you just want an illusory title, are you crazy?"
Chu Yi couldn't help but feel angry and unbelievable, and finally blurted out a friendly "greetings".
"He's using you, can't you see?"
Chu Ge didn't believe it. She felt that Chu Yi's behavior and ideas were too radical and unreasonable.
"How can the eight major forces destroy a country and a sect at will? Those three cities said that it was the evil cultivators who did the evil. You don't believe the facts, but insist on believing those unfounded rumors."
"Why are you so selfish? I've already told you that I'm not doing this for worldly things. I'm doing this so that Yueyao and Jiling can reconcile!"
Chu Ge couldn't hold back his dissatisfaction when he said this, and accused Chu Yi: "Why do you always rely on Jueya's prestige to make things difficult for Jiling? It's because you always oppose them that the relationship between the two countries has always been at a freezing point!"
Chu Yi was so shocked by these words that his face turned pale. For the first time in his life, he felt heartbroken and helpless as if he had been cried for stupidity.
Is Chu Yi just a simple antagonist? He just needs to show his presence in front of Ji Ling all the time, to show that he is highly valued in Jue Ya, so that Ji Ling will be cautious.
"Do you know what you're talking about?"
Chu Yi was silent for a moment and asked coldly.
It is hard to associate the person who said these words with the innocent and simple sister of the past.
In the past, my sister just didn’t like to practice, was greedy for fun, and loved to travel around, but she had a kind and soft heart.
Whenever he encountered interesting things or scenery, he would always tell him and his father, the emperor, and his mother. Whenever he encountered rare objects, he would save them and give them to them for their enjoyment later.
Although the family members are separated from each other, they never feel alienated and distant. The occasional lark flying over the mountain stream is like the cheerful and lively voice of their sister.
Chu Yi had no idea how Chu Ge had become like this. He examined Chu Ge from the outside to the soul, trying to find out if this was a fake that had been replaced.
Sorry, original.
Chu Yi showed a desperate, frosty smile.
Meeting a fool is not the scariest thing. What is scarier is that the person is actually a relative who secretly grew up like this.
Chu Yi felt very tired and filled with gloom. His broken heart even made him not interested in refuting Ling Yuanhan's sarcastic remarks.
Or rather, what is happening now completely makes everything he has done before look like a clowning figure.
He was completely backstabbed by his own sister.
It was a rare scene, unprecedented in history.
In front of so many people, Ling Yuanhan held Chu Ge's hand, and with his fingers fiddled with the Soul Source Pendant that Chu Yi had given to Chu Ge, and spoke all kinds of romantic and cheerful words, each word full of pride.
"Ge'er and I are in love with each other. Since you are Chu Ge's brother, you should also be my brother."
