Chapter 172 The finale
Chapter 172 The finale
The eunuch shook the weight in his hand, his expression softened slightly, and he said with a smile, "In that case, Aunt Guan Yan, please do as you please."
The maid smiled and slowly walked towards the three people. "My queen said that a small immortal who didn't leave his name gave her a purple jade pendant. She accidentally dropped it this morning. I'm here to ask, since you are also cultivators from the same sect as this immortal, do you know how to repair this jade pendant? If there is a way to restore it, I would like to invite you to the palace to discuss it."
The old eunuch became anxious upon hearing this and quickly came over to interrupt, "Aunt Guanyan, these are the guests that His Majesty wants to invite. Why not discuss the meeting after the banquet is over?"
"This jade pendant was originally meant for her to play with. Now that it's broken, the time has come. It doesn't matter whether she repairs it or not."
Shen Qiao suddenly spoke, causing the two of them to look over.
"Go back and tell your wife not to worry. I will go see her after this is over."
The maid named Guan Yan looked at Shen Qiao nervously, "Master, are you sure you can come after this is over?"
Shen Qiao smiled, "Of course."
After receiving a positive answer, the maid seemed to be slightly relieved and bowed to Shen Qiao. "In that case, I will go back and tell the queen."
After a few words, Guan Yan smiled at the old eunuch and said, "Thank you for your leniency."
The old eunuch had been terrified that afternoon. Seeing the maid leave, he quickly quickened his pace and led the three of them to the main hall door. He paused for a moment, then put on his usual smile and said, "Please come in, the three of you. His Majesty has instructed that I alone bring you here."
Shen Qiao nodded and smiled politely, "Thank you very much, eunuch."
The old eunuch was delighted. He bowed slightly to the three people and walked back. He waved to the guards on both sides of the door and left.
Oh, you also know how to avoid accidental injuries?
Shen Qiao snorted and laughed, raised his hand and pushed open the door of the palace.
"Hey, have our final few finally gotten what they wanted?"
This person always has a tone of provoking trouble, and he is indeed an acquaintance.
"You said it was the finale, isn't it just right to arrive at this time?"
As soon as Shen Qiao said this, Zhang Qiyan, who had been sneering and making a sour face, almost choked on her own saliva. She immediately sat up straight, staring at Shen Qiao in shock, scratching the back of her head in annoyance, "Oh my god... why are you master and disciple here? No wonder that Wen..."
"Ahem..." Su Tingyu cleared his throat, just in time to stop Zhang Qiyan, who was outspoken, from saying anything unclear.
He stood up and bowed to the two of them, "Long time no see, Fellow Daoist Shen. Immortal Venerable Wang You."
Wang You always only paid attention to those he liked, so he ignored Su Tingyu's greeting. Shen Qiao returned the greeting with a smile, "It's been a long time since we last met. But after meeting, I realized that not seeing each other for a long time might be a good thing."
Su Tingyu smiled helplessly, "It's just a coincidence."
"It seems that Master Su knows these two?" Si Huangxu, who had been ignored, suddenly spoke.
Su Tingyu turned around and replied, "Shenxiao Sect and Tianxing Sect once jointly handled the Xiyuan incident, so I met Fellow Daoist Shen."
"An acquaintance? Wouldn't that be inconvenient?" The third bearded man on the right laughed jokingly, looked around at the three people, and finally fixed his attention on Tao Yao, the veiled woman standing on Shen Qiao's left.
"Why is there another person? I wonder where this person comes from?"
Tao Yao gave him a cold look and said, "Master Tao Yao."
"How dare you." Another white-haired woman sitting next to the man shouted.
"A commoner, entering the palace to see His Majesty, dares to speak while standing?"
Tao Yao sneered, "If you like to kneel down to talk so much, then just kneel down. No one will compete with you for the place to kneel."
The white-haired woman narrowed her eyes slightly, "Don't regret it, little girl."
"Little girl?" Tao Yao was obviously not the type to tolerate this. She snorted and laughed, "According to your age, you should call me ancestor."
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense. On the other hand, the person in the high position did not seem to have any intention of doing anything. He just sat there, supporting his face with one hand, making it impossible to see his expression.
The woman suddenly crushed the wine cup in her hand, a cold light flashed in her eyes, and she looked at Tao Yao gloomily.
Tao Yao raised her head slightly without dodging or avoiding, and their eyes met for about three seconds, until the woman frowned, "Are you from the demon tribe?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the others all looked over.
"This is a matter between our human race and the immortal race. Why are you, a demon from the demon race, getting involved?"
"I really don't want to get involved in your mess." Tao Yao lifted the veil, revealing a face that was quite charming. A layer of light pink light appeared in the pupils of her eyes, and a petal-like mark gradually grew at the corner of her eyes as she lifted the veil.
"But you've already poisoned me. If I don't vent my anger, I've lived for thousands of years in vain."
"'Pink Pupil Flower Seal', are you the leader of the Flower Demon Clan?!" A purple-robed Taoist priest sitting at the bottom of the table couldn't help but exclaimed.
"I've heard that the Flower Demon Clan leader hasn't been seen for a long time... I never thought he'd come to our capital."
"You ignorant fellow." Tao Yao didn't bother to reply and said directly, "Your human royal family has provoked those you shouldn't have provoked and done things you shouldn't have done. Now I'm too lazy to exchange these false pleasantries with you."
"If you want to fight, then fight. Don't waste time."
Shen Qiao smiled.
"I'm not being reckless."
Wang Youmo glanced at her and said, "That's just what you want."
"Ha... You only told me not to interfere with Si Huangxu, but you didn't say I can't hit others."
Wang You snorted and chuckled without saying anything else, which was considered as his agreement.
"It's just a thousand-year-old flower demon, how can it be so mysterious?" A bald monk who loves wine and meat sneered nonchalantly, "Today, I will capture this evil monster of yours!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a strong wind suddenly blew up in the hall, blowing the already shaky gauze around it into flying pieces.
Vines gradually grew from Taoyao's fingertips, and her eyes were full of mockery. "Bald donkey, did you get your head shaved because you boasted?"
"What a loud tone!"
The monk slammed the table, and the golden staff on the table was immediately shaken up. He caught the staff with one hand and leaped up, landing heavily in front of the three people, pointing the staff directly at Tao Yao, "Today I will teach you, flower demon, what it means to restrain yourself!"
"Teach me?" She sneered. The vine in her hand had grown to a certain length. A crimson halo gradually lit up from the tip of the whip until the entire whip was covered with red light.
Tao Yao whipped the whip in the air, and the red light shattered like glass, and a long whip with a red tail took shape.
"Since you humans have lost your minds, I am here to sober you up."
