Chapter 31 Meeting the Emperor

Zhongli and Zhong Yun talked about the process of capturing Ling Xi themselves.

Zhong Yun lowered his head and thought for a while, plus Zhongli's guess, and nodded slightly.

"Maybe the appearance of the demon clan in such a concentrated manner is indeed related to the recent changes in the world."

Zhong Yun is also a cultivator in the First Dao Realm. He also felt some unusual changes recently. He did not take it seriously before. Now he has combined it with the demon clan, but he has thought of a lot.

"What changes have happened in this world? Will it prompt the demon clan to appear in a concentrated manner?" Zhong Yun thought.

Unlike human cultivators, it takes a very long process for the demon race to practice, absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, enlighten themselves, and then absorb the Taoist energy and strengthen themselves.

However, after hearing what Zhongli said, Ling Xi suddenly completed the process of enlightenment to practice, as if he had possessed the power of spiritual intelligence and the power to approach the flow path realm.

"Are these demon clans that have appeared this time like this?" Zhong Yun looked at Zhong Li, a little confused.

Zhongli shook his head, and he was not sure.

The two of them thought for a while, but there was no more gain. Zhong Yun stood up from his seat, walked to the door, and looked up at the sky.

"Everything went smoothly, but I didn't expect that at this time, the world would change." Zhong Yun sighed.

The demon clan is the greatest enemy of human beings. Most demon clans are incompatible with human beings. Whenever they meet, they will have fierce battles.

The country of Ci has not had a disaster in the demon clan for decades. The people are almost saying that they have forgotten it, but they do not expect that this kind of thing will happen suddenly at this time.

"You and I will enter the palace and meet Your Majesty. This matter requires Your Majesty Bingming." Zhong Yun looked solemn, "Take the little demon in the backyard."

Zhongli took the order and returned to the backyard. He saw Ling Xi sitting by the pool playing in the water, and walked up to greet him.

"Little goblin, come with me and take you to meet someone."

Ling Xi looked back at him in confusion and said, "Who are you seeing? Is there anything fun?"

Zhongli smiled bitterly and shook his head. How could the little fairy in front of him be very different from the legendary one?

After arranging his subordinates to change clothes for Lingxi, Zhongli also entered the room himself.

Soon, Zhongli changed his clothes and stood in the yard.

Ling Xi soon walked out with the servants and put on a green palace outfit, which looked quite elegant and luxurious.

"Where are we going? Is it fun?" Ling Xi was still caring about what happened before and kept asking.

"Haha, it's very fun to take you to meet an old man." Zhongli comforted and walked out the door first.

When he walked to the gate of the mansion, Zhong Yun was already waiting with a team of guards.

After looking at Ling Xi, Zhong Yun frowned. If the girl in front of him had not heard what Zhongli said, she would not have seen that she was transformed by the demon clan.

Then, Zhong Yun got on the chariot. Zhongli wanted to take Lingxi to another car, but heard Zhong Yun's voice coming from the car.

"Take her into the father's car."

The group set out and headed towards the palace.

"Little girl, tell me, how did you come here?" In the carriage, Zhong Yun asked Ling Xi with kind eyes and a kind tone.

Ling Xi's answer was the same as what Zhongli asked before. He didn't know how to enlighten his wisdom. He only knew that when he had spiritual wisdom, he had already possessed extraordinary strength and came to the human city with instinct to find a place to practice.

After hearing this, Zhong Yun nodded and said nothing more.

The chariot quickly entered the palace. The chariot of the right prime minister did not dare to check it out loud. After checking the waist sign handed out by Lu Yuan, he let it go.

Lu Yuan asked for some questions and learned that the emperor was in charge of government affairs in the imperial study room at the moment, so he opened the curtain of the car to ask Zhong Yun for instructions.

"The matter is urgent, let's go directly to the Imperial Study room to meet His Majesty." Zhong Yun ordered.

Lu Yuan took the order and called the car to go straight to the imperial study room.

Soon, Zhong Yun and others came to the door of the Imperial Study Room. Zhong Yun walked in front, and Zhongli led Ling Xi behind Zhong Yun, and the three of them walked into the Imperial Study Room.

An eunuch at the door led three people to the room in the imperial study.

Zhongli looked up and saw an old man wearing a golden dragon robe and white-haired and bearded at his desk looking at something.

"Come here." Hearing the footsteps, the old man raised his head keenly. Seeing that it was Zhong Yun and others, he nodded slightly and greeted with a plain face.

"My minister Zhong Yun, come to see my emperor." Zhong Yun and Zhong Li knelt down together, and Zhong Yun spoke.

Ling Xi looked around curiously, but did not kneel down.

"Bold! I didn't kneel down when I saw the emperor! Come here!" The eunuch next to him shouted sternly when he saw Ling Xi so ignorantly.

A team of guards soon rushed into the room and wanted to get Lingxi.

"Slow down!" The emperor said, "Since Zhong Aiqing comes with her, there must be a reason. Let's go down first."

The guards and the little eunuch took the order and retreated one after another. The little eunuch retreated and walked at the end, still looking a little angry.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhong Yun never raised his head and said thank you very much.

Zhongli was a little worried at this moment. On the way to come, he was just asking Ling Xi about the demon clan, but he forgot to teach him the etiquette in the palace. However, even if he taught him, this little fairy would not remember it.

"Hehe, brother, is this the old man you told me?" Ling Xi smiled mischievously, and suddenly reached out to grab the emperor's beard.

Zhong Yun and Zhongli were shocked and did not care about etiquette. They stood up to stop them.

However, although the emperor described his old age, his body was very strong. He quickly took a step back and avoided the little hand that Ling Xi grabbed.

"Haha, it's a bit interesting." The emperor's face disappeared without anger, and he walked back to the table and sat down, "My dear, can you introduce me to who is this little girl?"

Zhong Yun bent down and said seriously: "Your Majesty, this woman is..."

Zhong Yun told Lingxi all the details.

"What!?" After listening to Zhong Yun's story, the emperor slapped the table and looked at Ling Xi, shocked and angry.

"This woman is actually a villain from the demon clan? Zhong Aiqing, you are so brave. When you meet the demon clan, you will be killed on the spot. You will raise him to your family. What's your intention?" The emperor's eyes widened and his breathing was heavy.

Zhong Yun was silent for a moment. Zhongli left her purpose, and he, a father, didn't know much about it, and he didn't ask much before.

"Your Majesty, I took her home for some special reasons..." Zhongli took the initiative to explain.

The emperor's face was still very gloomy, and he stared at Zhongli fiercely: "What's the reason?"

Zhong Li's expression remained unchanged and he spoke, "Your Majesty, I first met this little monster, and it happened that the world was changing. Did Your Majesty have heard that thunder suddenly fell near Dongcheng a few days ago?"

The emperor's face was heavy, he nodded and said, "I already know that, and in midnight last night, there were similar visions in the capital. Do you think this monster is related to that vision?"

Zhongli continued, "That's true. When the first strange phenomenon of heaven and earth appeared, this demon suddenly appeared in Pucheng. The guards in my father's mansion took some trouble to capture this demon."

"After interrogating the question of Weichen, this demon gave birth to spiritual wisdom and gained cultivation, the time it took was extremely short and very sudden. The time coincided with the time when the strange phenomenon of heaven and earth occurred, so I felt that these two things must be related."

After hearing Zhongli's words, the emperor's angry expression was slightly relieved, but it was still extremely heavy.

"As you said, these two things may indeed be related. What you mean is that this time the monsters' rebellion may also be related to this?"

Zhongli pondered for a moment and said, "Although there is no conclusive evidence, I think it is very likely that my country of Ci has not seen any trace of the demon clan for decades, and now that so many of them appear out of thin air, it must be a bit strange."

The emperor nodded and agreed with Zhongli's words. He had been puzzled before. Why did so many demons appear to cause trouble in the country out of thin air? If combined with Zhongli's speculation, many things can be said.

"Now, since it has been roughly found out, there is no need to keep her anymore. You hand him over to the Ministry of Justice to interrogate him and see if there is anything else." The emperor said lightly.

A hint of hesitation flashed across Zhongli's face. Ling Xi had not destroyed anything since she came to his mansion, nor had she hurt anyone. Although he had known since childhood that the human race and the demon race were two opposing parties, he still felt a little reluctant to treat Ling Xi like this. Moreover, with Ling Xi here, it was also helpful to his cultivation.

Zhongli knew the consequences of handing over Lingxi to the Ministry of Justice, so he wanted to plead for Lingxi.

"His Majesty……"

"Hmm?" The emperor turned around and stared at Zhongli, a little puzzled.
