Dethroned from the Imperial Throne, Why Are You So Anxious When I Don't Want It Anymore? - Chapter 59
Chapter 59: Paying Respects To The Saint Son
Gongsun Wuji rubbed his eyes, afraid he had seen wrong!
He knew better than anyone what the Zi Xiao Sword meant to the Zi Xiao Sword Sect.
At the same time, Ye Yu was also observing Gongsun Wuji’s changes. As long as the other party showed the slightest killing intent, Ye Yu would not hesitate to kill him.
But soon, Ye Yu saw that Gongsun Wuji’s face gradually showed an expression of wild joy.
Looking at himself again, his eyes had become incredibly clear, and he was about to rush towards himself.
Ye Yu quickly gave him a wink.
Gongsun Wuji was not a fool, and immediately stopped, then, under the incredulous gaze of everyone, walked to the edge of the ring and leaped down.
“I lost! ”
When these three words fell, the entire plaza was instantly in an uproar!
He won, Ye Yu really won!
Although Gongsun Wuji’s way of leaving the stage was a bit bizarre, everyone could see that the bl00d-colored pillar was enough to kill Gongsun Wuji!
This did not only mean a simple ring match; it also meant that the geniuses of Qingzhou were no worse than those of the other two states!
“No! ” In the joyful atmosphere of the entire venue, Ye Qingling’s sharp cry stopped everything.
Ye Qingling looked at Ye Yu resentfully and shouted, “You can’t win! You can’t win! You must have used some underhanded methods. Older Brother Gongsun didn’t get enough rest, and you rushed into a wheel battle. Ye Yu, are you shameless! ”
“Older Brother Gongsun, this doesn’t count; you go up and fight again! ”
Gongsun Wuji watched Ye Qingling, who was almost going mad, constantly insulting Ye Yu, and almost couldn’t help but slap her.
Although he was lecherous, he still knew the relative importance of a woman and the Zi Xiao Sword inheritor.
“Losing is losing; get lost. ” Gongsun Wuji pushed Ye Qingling away and sat down by himself, but his trembling body showed how excited he was at the moment.
“No, no, first place is mine, first place is mine, Senior Martial Sister, you go, Ye Yu just had a big battle and must be very weak now; he’s shameless, and we don’t need to be righteous with him. ” Ye Qingling quickly pulled Yun Piaoyue aside and said.
Yun Piaoyue, however, looked deeply at Ye Yu, shook her head and said, “I am not his opponent. ”
“He doesn’t have the ability to defeat Older Brother Gongsun; he’s just taking shortcuts, Senior Martial Sister, believe me! ” Ye Qingling said anxiously.
But no matter how she persuaded her, Yun Piaoyue remained unmoved.
“Fine, fine, you won’t go, I will! ” Ye Qingling gritted her teeth, rushed onto the ring, raised her long sword, and stabbed at Ye Yu.
But Ye Yu grabbed it with one hand and slapped her off the ring with his backhand.
“Ye Yu, you dare hit me! ” Ye Qingling covered her face, looking at Ye Yu resentfully.
Ye Yu didn’t bother to pay attention to her but looked at Leng Qianqiu on the high platform, “Sect Master Leng, can you announce the result? ”
Leng Qianqiu finally came to her senses, looked at Ye Yu with relief, and said, “The champion of this Sect Assembly is Ye Yu of Great Qin, from Qingyun Sect! ”
As soon as the words fell, the whole venue cheered.
Ye Yu, however, put away the Zi Xiao Sword, glanced at Gongsun Wuji, and silently walked towards the sect’s Rear Mountain.
Gongsun Wuji also secretly slipped away.
Arriving at a quiet place, Ye Yu stopped. After a while, Gongsun Wuji hurried over.
Just as Ye Yu was about to ask about the situation of the Zi Xiao Sword, he saw Gongsun Wuji suddenly kneel down and say, “Inner Disciple Gongsun Wuji pays his respects to the Saint Son. ”
“Saint Son? What’s going on? ” Ye Yu was a little confused.
“Saint Son, you don’t know, the Zi Xiao Sword Sect has a rule that anyone who is recognized by the Zi Xiao Sword is the Saint Son of the sect, and their power and status are second only to the Grand Elder and Sect Master. ” Gongsun Wuji explained.
Then, Ye Yu learned about some secrets of the Zi Xiao Sword Sect from Gongsun Wuji.
“So you’re saying that the Zi Xiao Sword Sect is in big trouble now? ” Ye Yu frowned.
Gongsun Wuji quickly nodded, somewhat eagerly saying, “Yes, Saint Son, when do you think we should set off to go back? ”
“Not yet; I still have things to do. ” Ye Yu shook his head. He couldn’t go to a place he didn’t know anything about just because of Gongsun Wuji’s words; that would be playing with his life.
Hearing this, Gongsun Wuji scratched his head, a little at a loss, “Then what should we do? I came out to find the Saint Son; the elders in the sect are going crazy. ”
“Stay in Qingzhou for a few more days. I’ll go back with you after I’ve taken care of things. ” Ye Yu pondered for a while and said.
“That’s the only way. This disciple will obey the Saint Son’s orders. ” Gongsun Wuji said solemnly.
“Well, that’s it for now. Don’t spread the word about the Zi Xiao Sword. ” Ye Yu said.
Gongsun Wuji nodded, then said awkwardly, “That… Saint Son, I didn’t touch Ye Qingling, really. ”
“Suit yourself. ” Ye Yu glanced at Gongsun Wuji, waved his hand, and said, he really didn’t want to deal with Ye Qingling.
Great Yan Dynasty.
Ye Xuan returned to the Imperial Palace dejectedly and told Ye Fan what had happened.
When Ye Fan learned that Ye Qingwan had actually arranged for people to slander Ye Xuan outside, his face was so gloomy that it was about to drip water.
“Handle this yourself,” Ye Fan said to Ye Xuan.
For his most beloved son, Ye Fan had always known what kind of person Ye Xuan was.
Ye Xuan nodded and then went to the Palace with a cold face.
At this moment, in the her Palace, Ye Qingwan was sighing repeatedly as she looked at the miserable Ye Qingxuan and Ye Qingshuang.
The two of them were in a state that required care.
Just as Ye Qingwan was worried, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Ye Xuan, with a gloomy expression, walked in from outside.
“Little Xuan! ” Seeing Ye Xuan, Ye Qingwan was delighted and was about to go forward to hug him. These days, she had been so uncomfortable, and only Ye Xuan could give her some comfort.
But Ye Xuan pushed Ye Qingwan away and coldly said, “Imperial Sister! How could I have not seen through you as such a two-faced person! ”
“I thought you were on my side. Now it seems that Imperial Sister doesn’t side with anyone, but you yourself are coveting the Imperial Throne! ”
In Ye Xuan’s opinion, Ye Qingwan was constantly wavering between him and Ye Yu, just wanting them to fight so that she could reap the benefits.
“Little Xuan, what are you talking about? ” Ye Qingwan was stunned and frowned, “You know, you are my most beloved younger brother; how could I compete with you for the Imperial Throne? ”
“Heh, act, Imperial Sister, you really can act! ” Ye Xuan sneered and then recounted what had happened.
