As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life

Chapter 1444: Chapter 390: The Emperor’s Turn on the Throne—Can Xi Xi Sit Too? Should I Call You Li Half-Saint or Divine Monkey?

...

When suspicion falls like wildfire, it instantly shows signs of a prairie blaze.

The whispers, unable to be suppressed, expand rapidly like a storm.

In the White Jade Square.

Li Che’s face remained calm, but behind him, Xi Xi’s face suddenly turned pale with disbelief as she looked at Lu Chi, all the color drained from her face.

Lv Taibai was also bewildered, his heart involuntarily stirred.

Because Lu Chi had lived with Li Che’s family, this matter... he had indeed heard of it.

This Lu Chi... actually stabbed Xi Xi in the back?!

”Lu Chi! You bastard!”

Xi Xi clenched her fists and shouted angrily.

Li Che sighed, ruffling Xi Xi’s hair, this little girl... had been deceived by Xie Yushen.

Lu Chi knew of his Bull Demon identity, not some Divine Monkey...

This Xie Yushen was merely bluffing Xi Xi.

However, even though it seemed so...

Lu Chi should have also told Xie Yushen about Li Che being the Bull Demon.

Lu Chi had sworn that he would never say it.

But now... he eventually said it.

Since he uttered it.

That means... he stabbed in the back.

Xi Xi was just a six-year-old child, unable to control her emotions when betrayed, which was normal.

Xie Yushen stroked his beard and laughed.

Xi Xi’s demeanor was basically... enough to explain the issue.

And Lu Chi, as if struck by lightning, couldn’t stop trembling, staring at Xie Yushen in anger, confusion, and suspicion.

Xie Yushen gently patted Lu Chi on the head.

”Don’t worry... you didn’t betray anyone, you’re just making the right choice.”

”The choice you made might become your biggest leverage to become the Crown Prince, don’t you want to be the Crown Prince?”

”Only by becoming the Crown Prince can you have the qualification to marry the Crown Princess Consort...”

Xie Yushen rubbed Lu Chi’s head gently, making Lu Chi’s face show a struggling expression.

Marrying the Crown Princess Consort...

The Emperor just bestowed the marriage to the Crown Princess Consort...

”I... I...”

Lv Taibai was utterly confused.

In the White Jade Square.

Li Che exhaled, glancing at the State Preceptor Xie Yushen, what a cunning man, even to use such heart tactics on a child.

However, Li Che didn’t have a good face towards Lu Chi either.

”State Preceptor, is it? Without evidence... don’t randomly accuse. When the Divine Monkey acquired the Heart-following Gold Iron Divine Rod at the Mysterious Temple of Divine Carving Ridge, I too was in the trial, but unfortunately, I made a wrong move...”

Li Che said casually.

”At the time, many Cultivators from the Divine Sect saw it, so don’t go slandering me without evidence and empty words...”

”How could a child’s words be taken seriously?”

”Moreover, Lu Chi and Xi Xi have already fallen out, it’s normal for kids to have conflicts and say some heated words.”

Xie Yushen held an oiled-paper umbrella, lightly smiling: ”Oh, perhaps it truly was a child’s spat, but for now, let Li Half-Saint stay for Governor Ye of the Temple Control Bureau to investigate...”

”Investigation... huh.”

Lv Taibai laughed loudly.

”By that time, black could be said as white by you people!”

”Don’t pay any attention to them.”

Lv Taibai’s eyes were sharp, his killing intent surging, the sound of sword energy resonating, turning into a sword cloud to envelop Li Che and Xi Xi.

”Let’s go!”

Boom——!!!

The sword energy was like wild grass, and with a resonant clang, the sword energy soared skyward as if it wanted to pierce through the clouds.

The Emperor stood on the high platform, even if his face wasn’t visible, it was clear that his expression was terrifyingly gloomy.

The bright yellow robe fluttered, coldness gradually growing in his eyes.

The matter Xie Yushen revealed... he hadn’t expected it at all.

Li Che... is the Underworld Divine Monkey?

The one predicted by the Great Supervising Minister to hold the Heart-following Gold Iron Divine Rod, ascend the Qi Tian City tower, and threaten the great foundation of the Da Jing Dynasty?!

”The State Preceptor has a point, let Governor Ye of the Temple Control Bureau conduct the investigation, if Li Half-Saint is not the Underworld Divine Monkey, I will compensate accordingly.”

”Rest assured during the investigation, you will neither be imprisoned nor harmed, you will just stay in the Divine Capital for a while.”

The Emperor suddenly flung his sleeve and spoke in a deep voice.

With these words said.
