73: Misunderstanding! Misunderstanding!

The scene shifts to Great Qin, Xianyang Palace.

The lavishness of the banquet was enough to make the monarch of any Dynasty gasp in awe.

Glass goblets, agate cups, ivory chopsticks, gold and jade plates.

But all of this, in Nanny's eyes, was not as real as the sizzling roasted suckling pig on the plate.

The little girl, with a crispy golden roasted pig's trotters in each hand, ate with a mouth full of oil, her cheeks bulging, showing no trace of the ethereal demeanor of a Sect Disciple; she was like a little hungry ghost reincarnated.

Qin Jiu watched from the side, his heart pounding.

My little Old Ancestor!

Can you please pay a little attention to your image?

On the Dragon Throne, Emperor Ying Zheng of Great Qin, whose face was always as calm as an ancient well, now had a trace of helpless wryness.

He looked at the little girl who was engrossed in eating, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

Is this... a Sect Disciple?

The little glutton trained by the Tai Xuan Immortal Sect, which could turn a Heavenly Human Realm expert into ashes with a flick of a finger?

This style of painting is not right!

However, not only did he not show any contempt, but his awe grew even deeper.

Returning to simplicity!

This is truly the demeanor of an Immortal, transcendent and unconstrained by worldly etiquette!

"Cough cough."

Ying Zheng cleared his throat, and after Nanny swallowed the last piece of roasted meat, he tentatively spoke, his voice unusually gentle and with a hint of undetectable flattery.

"Nanny Fairy, this time our Great Qin was able to annihilate Great Qing in one fell swoop, all thanks to your assistance."

"May I ask if Fairy has any needs? As long as Great Qin possesses it, whether it be gold, silver, and jewels, or Divine Weapons and Sharp Weapons, I, your Emperor, will not be stingy!"

These words were spoken with great skill.

It was both a thank you and a test.

Qin Jiu's heart tightened when he heard this, fearing that his Senior Sister would once again say something astonishing.

However, to his surprise.

Nanny merely patted her round little belly, let out a satisfied burp, and then, her dark, round eyes visibly dimmed.

She threw the cleanly gnawed pig bones onto the plate, pouted her little mouth, and the excitement she had just now was gone.

"No."

The little girl shook her head, her voice muffled, with a hint of loss.

"I don't want anything."

"Nanny... misses Master."

She looked up at the bright moon outside Xianyang Palace and murmured.

"I want to go home."

This simple sentence made everyone presentstunned...

After staying in Great Qin for two days, Ying Zheng almost moved all the delicacies from the entire Xianyang city to Nanny, and various rare treasures were continuously sent to her.

But Nanny remained unenthusiastic.

Finally, she tugged at Qin Jiu's sleeve and proposed to leave.

"Xiao Jiu, let's go home."

"Okay." Qin Jiu felt as if he had been granted a great pardon.

On the A'fang Palace observation deck,

Watching the two soar into the sky, turning into streaks of light and disappearing into the horizon, Ying Zheng remained silent for a long time.

"Immortal... Xiao Jiu," he said, with a hint of guilt and expectation.

The scene shifts.

Great Tang Dynasty, capital city.

At this moment, in the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace,

The Prime Minister, Prime Minister Changsun Wuji, who held immense power, was looking grimly at the woman before him.

The woman wore a light blue palace dress, and although she was surrounded, her beautiful face still held a cold and arrogant demeanor that kept people at a distance.

It was Ling Ke'er.

Beside her, a young man of about seventeen or eighteen, dressed in brocade, had his acupuncture points sealed and could not move; he was Li Chengqian, the current Crown Prince of Great Tang.

"Speak!"

Prime Minister Changsun Wuji's voice was icy and devoid of emotion.

"Who exactly are you? Who is your Master? Why do you kidnap His Highness the Crown Prince!"

In his heart, rage was already boiling.

This woman not only publicly beheaded his good-for-nothing nephew, but she also dared to sneak into the imperial palace while being hunted by Great Tang, and after being discovered, she fled to the Eastern Palace and kidnapped the Crown Prince!

This was simply a slap in the face to the Li family and the entire Great Tang!

If he hadn't been hesitant to act for fear of harming the Crown Prince's life, he would have already ordered this woman to be dismembered!

Facing Prime Minister Changsun Wuji's interrogation, which was enough to make ghosts and gods tremble,

Ling Ke'er's face showed no fear.

She merely slowly raised her head, her clear Phoenix eyes lightly glancing at Prime Minister Changsun Wuji, and her red lips parted to utter a few words.

"Tai Xuan, Ling Ke'er."

Tai Xuan?

Which Tai Xuan?

Prime Minister Changsun Wuji was first stunned, then his pupils suddenly contracted, as if he had thought of something extremely terrifying, and with a "buzz" in his mind, it instantly went blank!

Tai Xuan... Immortal Sect?!

Is it the Immortal Sect that, with a flick of a finger, turned three Heavenly Human Realm experts into ashes outside Xianyang City?!

Is it the Tai Xuan Immortal Sect whose Senior Disciple stirred up trouble in the Great Chu Dynasty, which even the Great Chu imperial family couldn't deal with, and even resulted in the death of an Emperor?!

Is it the Tai Xuan Immortal Sect that, after the Northern Yuan Dynasty was destroyed, even the Great Qin Old Ancestor personally came out to protect its Disciple's Dao?!

This... what the hell kind of matching mechanism is this?!

Are you kidding me?!

He merely had a good-for-nothing nephew die, how did he provoke such a terrifying existence that suppressed the Nine Great Dynasties and could even cut down Heavenly Human Realm experts like vegetables?!

Prime Minister Changsun Wuji felt a chill rush from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head, and all the blood in his body was almost frozen!

He looked at the woman before him, whom he had regarded as a prisoner about to be captured, his gaze could no longer be described as "horrified."

It was as if he was looking at a... harbinger of doom who could drag the entire Great Tang into an endless abyss at any moment!

What should he do?! Urgent!

Countless thoughts flashed through his mind: Kill her? Die together? No, Great Tang would be gone. Capture her? Wait for the Tai Xuan Immortal Sect to come and destroy the country?

One second felt like a century.

Just as everyone in the hall, including Ling Ke'er herself, thought that the powerful Prime Minister was about to give the order to act.

Prime Minister Changsun Wuji's facial muscles twitched, and he forced out a smile that was uglier than crying.

"Cough... cough cough, that... Fairy Ling, look at this mess, it's all a misunderstanding, a huge misunderstanding!"

As soon as his voice fell.

Li Chengqian, the Crown Prince, whose acupuncture points had been sealed and whose body was already numb, laboriously twisted his neck, moving less than a centimeter.

"Don't move!"

Prime Minister Changsun Wuji, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, suddenly turned around and let out a thunderous roar at the Crown Prince.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince! Who told you to move randomly! Do you know you're causing trouble for Fairy?!"

"Stand still! Don't resist! What if you bump into Fairy and hurt her, can you bear the responsibility?!"

Crown Prince: "???"

All the imperial guards in the hall: "???"

Everyone was stunned, completely dumbfounded.

Was this still the decisive and cunning Duke of Zhao State they knew?

Ling Ke'er was also confused.

What's wrong with this guy?

However, she was exceptionally intelligent, and looking at Prime Minister Changsun Wuji's pale face, which was tinged with obsequiousness, and recalling some rumors about her Sect, she instantly understood.

Is he... afraid?

He wasn't afraid of her, but of the words "Tai Xuan."

So... the name of the Sect was already so effective?

Damn it! If she had known, why fight? Just state her name and be done with it!
