Chapter 350 Yao Girl Displays Wisdom and Inner Power
"General, this way please." I suppressed my unease, put on a smile, and led General Wu toward the side hall.
The sunlight was cut into mottled shadows by the thick palace walls, falling on General Wu's resolute face, making him appear somewhat unfathomable.
I could sense that he was also observing me, scrutinizing what I was up to.
As soon as I sat down, I got straight to the point: "General, the Immortal Realm may seem peaceful now, but there are undercurrents beneath the surface. You must have heard about the ruins; it's no exaggeration to say that there was no smoke without fire."
However, I could sense something was amiss.
That feeling was like having thorns in your back, or being plunged into an ice cave.
I tried my best to remain calm and continued, "If the Immortal Realm wants to be peaceful, it needs to plan ahead..."
“Fairy Xiao Yao,” General Wu suddenly interrupted me, his thick brows furrowed, “forgive my bluntness, but what you have said is indeed worrying. But what is your purpose in telling me all this?”
My heart skipped a beat; it seemed my eagerness had aroused his suspicion.
No, we must hold the line!
I took a deep breath, about to explain, when a commotion arose outside the hall. I could vaguely hear people talking about my name, their words filled with distrust and doubt.
"This Xiao Yao, whose origins are unknown, actually met with General Wu in private. Could it be that she intends to..."
"Shh, keep your voice down! Didn't you hear Princess Mingyue already..."
My heart sank. Princess Mingyue!
What a ruthless means!
I felt as if I were tightly wrapped in an invisible net, unable to move.
Just then, a sharp announcement came from outside the hall: "The Emperor has decreed that Xiao Yao and General Wu be summoned to an audience!"
General Wu and I exchanged a glance, and we both saw solemnity in each other's eyes.
I tried to calm my breathing, but my fingertips were ice-cold.
Prime Minister Lin's face—the one that always seemed to be smiling (a Hindi word meaning "always smiling")—came to mind. He was like a cold, venomous snake, always ready to deliver a fatal blow.
Upon arriving at the Golden Palace, the Xuan Tian Emperor sat high on the dragon throne, his face majestic, making it impossible for anyone to look him directly in the eye.
"Xiao Yao, I heard that you met with General Wu in private. What was the matter?"
I composed myself and was about to speak when General Wu spoke first: "Your Majesty, regarding this matter..."
"General Wu, let Xiao Yao speak for herself!" Emperor Xuantian's voice was not loud, but it carried an undeniable authority.
I took a deep breath. Now that things have come to this, I have no choice but to go all out!
"Your Majesty, the reason I met with General Wu was..."
"What for? Only you yourselves probably know the answer!" Princess Mingyue suddenly interjected, her tone sharp and sarcastic, her eyes like they were filled with venom.
I stared coldly at her, then turned to Emperor Xuantian and slowly said, "Your Majesty, I have a request." I paused, then spoke with a firm and clear voice, "I am willing to pledge my loyalty and lead the celestial warriors to resist foreign enemies!"
Upon hearing this, Princess Mingyue let out a piercing laugh: "How laughable! You? A useless piece of trash with no foundation, yet you dare to spout such nonsense!"
I ignored her sarcasm and simply looked at Emperor Xuantian, waiting for his answer.
Time passed second by second, and the air seemed to freeze.
Suddenly, the Xuan Tian Emperor spoke, his voice deep and majestic, each word striking my heart like a hammer blow: "Very well! I will give you this opportunity..." He paused, giving me a meaningful look, and said, "However, I have one condition..."
