69: Senior Sister Ziyou is here!

“What? This rebellious daughter is stealing again?”

“Guards! Didn’t I tell you to lock up this rebellious daughter? Who let her out?”

After you finished shouting, you immediately disguised yourself as a guard and hid to the side, enjoying the show.

You saw a steward in the banquet hall kneeling in front of the Great Zhou Emperor, trembling as he explained the reason.

You saw that the more the steward explained, the uglier the Great Zhou Emperor’s expression became.

It was the Jun Family’s first day visiting to propose marriage, and such a scandal had already occurred within their imperial family.

In the Great Zhou Emperor’s eyes, this was a blatant slap to his Face, a slap to the Face of their Great Zhou Dynasty imperial family.

The next moment, you saw the Great Zhou Emperor suppress his anger, a stiff smile on his Face as he explained to the Jun Family members.

“Guards! Bring this rebellious daughter to me!”

“I will absolutely not go easy on her this time!”

You could tell that the Great Zhou Emperor was truly enraged this time.

Soon, you saw several guards escort Zhou Lingxi to the banquet hall.

You didn’t expect the Great Zhou Emperor to choose to deal with this matter in front of so many people.

In your opinion, what these Dynasty imperial families feared most was losing Face; the dignity of the imperial family was not to be insulted.

“Rebellious daughter, kneel!”

“Just a few months ago, you were confined for stealing Spiritual Roots, and now you’ve snuck out again to continue stealing Spiritual Roots?”

“This time you even stole your Third Imperial Sister’s betrothal gifts?”

You saw that Zhou Lingxi showed no remorse on her Face when facing the Great Zhou Emperor’s rebuke; instead, she looked indifferent.

“If I don’t steal these Spiritual Roots, how can I step onto the Immortal Path!”

“My Imperial Brothers and Imperial Sisters can all Cultivate, but I’m still a Mortal. If you don’t help me, I’ll find a way myself.”

You saw that after Zhou Lingxi finished speaking, she directly turned her head away and no longer looked at the Great Zhou Emperor.

“You… rebellious daughter, very well. It seems I’ve spoiled you too much before.”

You could tell that the Great Zhou Emperor naturally knew about Zhou Lingxi’s situation.

Other than you, no one could see that Zhou Lingxi possessed Immortal Eyes; in their eyes, Zhou Lingxi was a good-for-nothing without a Spiritual Root.

“Before, I tolerated you secretly taking things from our own family, but this time you actually went to steal the betrothal gifts sent by the Jun Family.”

“I declare! Princess Zhou Lingxi, the Ninth Princess, is to be expelled from the imperial family and demoted to a commoner.”

Upon seeing this scene, you gave Zhou Lingxi a thumbs-up in your heart for her acting skills.

After the Great Zhou Emperor’s words fell, some ministers and imperial princes and princesses around him tried to persuade him.

But the final outcome remained unchanged.

Just like that, Zhou Lingxi was directly thrown out of the imperial palace.

Seeing that your goal had been achieved, you used the Great Void Art to directly leave the Great Zhou imperial palace.

After leaving the imperial palace, you took Zhou Lingxi back to the small courtyard in the capital.

Now, you have successfully rescued Zhou Lingxi from the Great Zhou Dynasty imperial family in advance.

You just need to wait; you believe that after this matter ferments, Senior Sister Zi You will definitely come.

On the second day, the news of the Great Zhou Dynasty’s Ninth Princess being expelled from the imperial family spread throughout the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The popularity of this matter lasted for half a year.

End of the third year—

During this year, you and Zhou Lingxi hardly left the small courtyard.

You taught Zhou Lingxi the Heavenly Evolution Art, and in one year, she had reached Great Perfection in Qi Refining and would soon Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment.

However, it was a pity that after more than a year of waiting, you still hadn't waited for Senior Sister Zi You.

Fourth year—

This year, you taught Zhou Lingxi the Supreme Void Sword Art, and you were surprised to find that her talent in the Dao of the Sword was also extremely high.

During this year, Zhou Lingxi not only Cultivated the Great Void Sword Intent but also had her cultivation Breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Fifth year—

After three years of waiting, you still hadn't waited for Zi You’s arrival.

At this time, you even thought that in Zi You’s previous simulation, she might have come to the Great Zhou Dynasty because of Zhou Lingxi.

If Zi You didn't come because of Zhou Lingxi, but just happened to pass by the Great Zhou Dynasty by Opportunity and met Zhou Lingxi, leading to subsequent events.

Then the time you would have to wait would be much longer, and you couldn't wait that long now.

You sat alone at the stone table in the small courtyard, and Zhou Lingxi brewed you a cup of enlightenment tea.

“Brother Su! I feel like I’ll be Breaking through to the Core Formation Realm soon!”

Upon hearing Zhou Lingxi’s words, you slowly came back to your senses and looked at her in surprise.

You didn’t expect Zhou Lingxi’s talent to be so terrifying.

Although she had been drinking enlightenment tea with you for the past few years, you would sometimes give her some Spiritual Roots to use.

But even so, it was still very difficult for an ordinary person to Breakthrough from a Mortal to Late Foundation Establishment in three years.

You told Zhou Lingxi that while Cultivating, she shouldn't neglect the Cultivation of Great Void Sword Intent.

You sighed inwardly, deciding to stay in the Great Zhou Dynasty for at most three more years.

If you really couldn't wait for Zi You, you would have to temporarily leave the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Sixth year—

Zhou Lingxi successfully Broke through to the Early Stage Core Formation Realm.

And after several years of accumulation, your cultivation would soon Breakthrough to the Middle Stage Void Refining Realm.

Seventh year—

After years of accumulation, your cultivation successfully Broke through to the Middle Stage Void Refining Realm.

At the same time, not long after your Breakthrough, an uninvited guest arrived at your small courtyard.

This day, you were sitting in the small courtyard as usual, Cultivating your state of mind.

Zhou Lingxi walked up to you and told you that an Awakened One had arrived outside.

Upon hearing this, you suddenly stood up and looked outside the door.

In all the years you had been in the Great Zhou Dynasty, it wasn't that no talents had sought you out, but today was the first time an Awakened One had come.

You arrived at the main gate, and what met your eyes was a woman wearing a straw hat.

You looked at the woman in front of you; although you couldn't clearly see her Face, from the aura emanating from her, you could feel that she was your Senior Sister Zi You.

“Senior Sister! Is that you!”

Zi You was slightly stunned when she heard you call her Senior Sister.

Zi You carefully recalled information about you, but after recalling for a long time, she found no information about you.

“Do… we know each other?”

You knew that Zi You didn’t recognize you yet, so you explained to her what happened after you joined the Sword Pavilion, and your situation with Cultivating the Great Void Art.

When Zi You heard you say that you were from the Sword Pavilion, the wariness on her Face completely disappeared, replaced by an expression of sudden realization.

“So it’s Little Junior Brother~”

You asked her if she had come today for Zhou Lingxi.

Zi You nodded and told you that she had indeed come because of Zhou Lingxi.

...
