EBE Chapter 827 Entering Qingyun 4
Chapter 827 Entering Qingyun 4
Chao Xi was not in a hurry to rebel, but something happened that changed her mind.
She had only enjoyed a few days of undisturbed time when she was suddenly summoned by the God.
When she arrived, she was informed that she was getting married in a few days and was to go back to prepare, as Madam Yuan would help prepare her dowry.
This whole thing looks wrong. It's probably a trap, otherwise, someone as insignificant as the original owner wouldn't have gotten involved.
“Father, I am not in a hurry to get married. I have older sisters who are of marriageable age.”
She still has Chao Min, who is not yet married, and this matter was obviously pushed onto her by someone with ulterior motives.
Who was this person? She guessed that the person who should have been chosen was not her but Chao Min, since Chao Heng certainly wouldn't remember his daughter.
Upon hearing this, Chao Heng finally looked at the person properly: "Do you have any objections to my decision?"
The words he spoke were in the form of a question, but his aura and oppressive presence began to spread.
A daughter who had no presence in his life, whose appearance he didn't even remember, dared to defy his decisions.
Chao Xi remained expressionless, as if unaware that the atmosphere was starting to turn sour.
"My daughter didn't mean that; she was just stating the facts."
When Chao Heng saw her like this, he felt that his authority had been challenged.
"State the facts? What a fine statement of facts! I ask you, are you going to marry me or not?"
Despite such a threat, Chao Xi still refused to give any face and said, "My daughter has no intention of getting married now, let alone marrying someone she has never met."
"Very well, very well. I never knew I had such a strong-willed child among my own children."
"Guards! Take the Third Princess back; she is not to leave freely for the time being."
This is a form of imprisonment. Chao Xi is hesitating between poisoning someone tonight or fighting with them right now.
Xiao Qi urged, "Host, I support you taking action. Let's have a fight."
Upon hearing this, Chao Xi, who is now known for his rebellious nature, chose to poison someone at night instead.
Fighting can only force people to submit; killing them all seems a bit too bloody.
After all, the original owner didn't have this request. Although she wasn't valued, she wasn't abused either.
Only by experiencing the depletion of spiritual energy through poisoning, and letting these people who value power and strength taste the bitterness of loss, will they feel fear.
Unless the resistance is too severe, just kill a few key figures; treat the rest the same as the original owner.
They could simply lock her up, deprive her of her freedom, leave her to fend for herself, or make her do hard labor.
Thinking of this, Chao Xi turned and left without waiting for the guards to come forward and take her back.
As Chao Heng watched her departing figure, he was struck by the air of composure and an innate air of superiority she exuded.
He squinted, a dark, enigmatic light flickering in his eyes.
How could an unfavored princess have such an air of authority and dare to constantly contradict her father, the emperor?
"Divine Lord?" The subordinates who came in also felt that the Third Princess was too bold.
Chao Heng waved his hand: "Go down, ignore her for now."
He also wanted to see if his daughter could bring any surprises; a useful person doesn't necessarily have to get married.
The person originally chosen was the second daughter, Chao Min, since she was already of age.
But since he went to the backyard, he had to give some face to the children's biological mother, that is, Mrs. Xi.
That's why he changed his mind and chose the daughter he had no recollection of.
The news that the Third Princess had angered the God-King and been confined to her quarters for refusing a marriage alliance quickly spread throughout the entire Zhu Shui Ling Zhou.
Some people didn't care, some gloated, but some even went to the Bright Moon Palace.
As soon as Chao Min entered, she solemnly advised, "Sister, I've come to see you. How could you upset Father? We'll all get married sooner or later."
"Then why doesn't your sister get married? It should have been your turn this time."
Upon hearing this, Chao Min's expression became somewhat unnatural.
At first, her father did choose her, but she already had someone she loved, so why would she be willing to marry someone casually?
Moreover, the person she was to marry was not a good man. After discussing it with her mother, she pushed Chao Xi forward.
Chao Xi knew from her expression that she had guessed correctly; her words were just a test.
Chao Min was still unwilling to give up persuading her: "It's not that you don't want to get married, it's that Mother is reluctant to let me go. Unlike you, you will inevitably feel lonely on your own. If you get married, there will be someone to care for you and take care of you."
"If you've come to persuade me to get married, then please leave. Bishui, see her out."
Chao Min felt embarrassed: "I came here with good intentions to give you advice, how can you treat me like this?"
Seeing that Chao Xi ignored her, Bi Shui had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Second Princess, please go back."
"Hmph, since my sister doesn't appreciate it, I have nothing more to say."
Chao Min left with a flick of his sleeve, still feeling a bit angry.
Seeing that Bishui was still standing, Chaoxi told her to go out as well.
Once she was alone in the hall, she was about to take a nap in preparation for going out for drinks that evening when someone else walked in.
"Sister, did I disturb you?"
Perhaps due to the contrast, Chao Yuan's attitude was more pleasing to the eye than Chao Min's.
Therefore, Chao Xi did not give him a hard time because she was disturbed: "What brings you to my Bright Moon Palace?"
"I heard that my sister has upset Father, so I came to see if she's alright." His eyes were filled with concern.
"It's nothing, just a small matter."
“Father doesn’t like people contradicting his decisions, and he won’t easily waver in his decisions. My sister is being forced to marry this time, and she must be unwilling. I can help my sister leave.”
Chao Xi looked at him with slight surprise, not expecting him to say that.
Although she didn't need his help at all, she was still curious as to why he did it.
"Aren't you afraid of angering your father and being punished?"
"Don't worry, my sister helped me last time, and I'm willing to help her too."
He had checked before coming; there were people sent by his father to guard the area near Mingyue Palace.
However, the defense wasn't very tight, and he had ways to get his men away.
In Chao Xi's view, helping Chao Yuan last time was just something he did on a whim.
Even without him, he could open the coffin sealed by spiritual energy; it was only a matter of time.
He definitely has the potential to be a villain; he's fearless and doesn't seem to care about death or pain.
I appreciate your kindness, but I have my own plans.
Upon hearing this, Chao Yuan saw that she was serious and not lying to him: "That's fine then. If you need anything, I'm always willing to help."
Help? Chao Xi realized that he would indeed need help after taking over the position.
The Qingyun Tournament is held here every year, and fighters are selected to compete.
After she gets rid of those brothers and the God-King, there will be a lack of fighters.
However, Chao Yuan doesn't have any spiritual veins yet, so we'll talk about that later.
This time, she didn't plan to let Yunshang and the puppets out, lest someone notice something amiss and cause trouble.
