"Rise!" the Celestial Emperor snapped coldly, "Co to the Celestial Prison with !"
"To the Celestial Prison?" The Empress's eyes flickered, and the Celestial Emperor said to her, "All of this is your doing, Empress, oh Empress, your courage is too great, daring to overlook my bestowed Jade Pendant and arrest Xiao Tianyu? How many heads do you have?"
Upon hearing this, the Empress looked terrified. Though she did not dare confront him, she was secretly thinking, is it really necessary to treat
like this over Xiao Tianyu?
Thereafter, the group descended into the Celestial Prison, going hundreds of ters underground before landing on the surface.
"Who dares intrude into the Celestial Prison!"
"Stand aside!" Di Yun snapped coldly, "The Celestial Emperor is here, such nerve!"
Shua shua shua~
At these words, the jailers' knees weakened, and they knelt down in respect. Though they did not recognize the Celestial Emperor, they had t the Second Prince, and upon closer inspection, naturally recognized him.
The Celestial Emperor and his entourage ignored them and went directly to the final cell where they saw Xiao Tianyu seated with shackles on his hands. His gaze gloomily fixed on the Empress, "This is all your doing!"
Then, the Celestial Emperor grinned and laughed with Xiao Tianyu, "Hahaha~ my dear brother, it's a misunderstanding, truly a colossal misunderstanding. My son is really thoughtless, I will certainly reprimand him on your behalf!"
The change in the Celestial Emperor's deanor was quicker than flipping a book, from a gloomy face to laughing heartily, like a breath of spring.
My dear brother?
Upon hearing this, the Empress and Di Yun were both stunned. Who under the heavens had the privilege to address the Celestial Emperor as brother, and Xiao Tianyu, so young, seemingly younger than Di Yun, had such a privilege?
Di Yun pondered a bit more; who under the heavens could make the Celestial Emperor willingly call them brother? Moreover, such youth, the Celestial Emperor treating him this way implies there is indeed a hidden secret. If befriended, ascending the throne in the future might solely depend on his word.
With this thought, Di Yun stepped forward and greeted Xiao Tianyu, "Nephew greets Uncle Xiao!"
Upon hearing this, the Celestial Emperor gave Di Yun a peculiar glance, feeling sothing amiss.
However, based on genealogy, Di Yun indeed had to call Xiao Tianyu uncle.
Yet, Xiao Tianyu sat there, glancing indifferently at the Celestial Emperor, ignoring him, causing the Celestial Emperor a half-second pause before demanding, "Open the cell door!"
"Yes!"
"Hold on, hand the key to the Empress!" the Celestial Emperor ordered.
"This..."
Upon hearing this, the jailers expressed difficulty; how could soone as noble as the Empress open the cell door herself? But seeing the Celestial Emperor's authoritative deanor, the jailers had no choice but to hand the key to the Empress.
"Empress!" The jailers' hands trembled.
Upon hearing this, the Empress was dumbfounded. The esteed Empress of the Immortal Kingdom had to personally open the cell door; if word got out, how could she face others? To the Empress, this was definitely an insult.
Thus, the Empress began, "Celestial Emperor, I..."
"Put down your dignity!" The Celestial Emperor snorted coldly, causing the Empress's complexion to turn Tie Qing, and she had no choice but to obediently open the cell door. Once it was opened, the Celestial Emperor was the first to step inside, as if not acting like an Emperor.
"I will unshackle Uncle Xiao!" Di Yun took a step forward, but Xiao Tianyu said indifferently, "No need!"
Bang~
As soon as the words fell, the shackles on Xiao Tianyu's body instantly turned to powder, and Xiao Tianyu shrugged, looking indifferent.
He might not care, but the Celestial Emperor did.
Then, looking at the Empress outside the cell, the Celestial Emperor spoke, "Aren't you going to co in and apologize?"
The dignified Empress not only had to open the cell door for Xiao Tianyu but now had to apologize. The Empress could not understand why the Emperor would be so humble before Xiao Tianyu; no matter how terrifying Xiao Tianyu's background was, could there be more than one Emperor behind him?
However, nothing could be done now; the Empress could only lower her proud head and bow to Xiao Tianyu, to which Xiao Tianyu replied, "The Empress is so dignified, how could I bear such a bow?"
His words were laced with disdain; Xiao Tianyu despised the Empress's apology.
Rember when the Empress descended upon the Outer Sect with such might, directly disregarding Xiao Tianyu's Jade Pendant, ordering Lin Congyun to imprison Xiao Tianyu in the Celestial Prison, waiting for her return to deal with it. But now?
Now, the esteed Empress ant nothing before Xiao Tianyu, not even apologizing, which Xiao Tianyu didn't accept, even though Xiao Tianyu had crippled Di Tian's arm, the Celestial Emperor did not pursue it.
To the Empress, this was such an irony, such a joke, she, the esteed Empress, ant nothing before Xiao Tianyu.
"Does my dear brother still hold a grudge over past matters?" the Celestial Emperor stepped forward, smiling at Xiao Tianyu, "Just say the word, and I'll remove the Empress's crown and throw her into prison!"
Of course, this was the Celestial Emperor advancing by retreating.
Although advancing by retreating, these words still shook people's hearts fiercely, especially the Empress; her expression grew even worse. Was all her honor a re matter of Xiao Tianyu's word?
With just Xiao Tianyu's word, would the esteed Empress be deposed?
Yet, Xiao Tianyu's lips curled into an arc, "Brother, that would be too much. By the way, I discipled Di Tian on your behalf, I hope you won't mind, brother?"
Disciplining ant crippling Di Tian's arm? The Empress felt deeply upset, but what of it? The Celestial Emperor didn't ntion it; did she have the right to?
"That son of mine, relying on his status as Prince, has always been arrogant. Now he suffered a loss; it's a good chance for him to learn a lesson. Besides, my dear brother rely disabled his left arm; it's inconsequential!"
"I truly feared brother would bla !" Xiao Tianyu laughed heartily.
"No, the matter truly stems from my defiant son's mistake first. Don't even talk about crippling an arm; I'd not complain even if he were killed!" The Celestial Emperor's voice was awe-inspiring, shaking hearts.
This statent further revealed to Di Yun how much weight Xiao Tianyu carried in the Celestial Emperor's mind.
"I naturally dare not kill!" Xiao Tianyu laughed before speaking calmly, "I should be going!"
"Going?"
The Celestial Emperor paused for a mont, "Today, it was my defiant son's mistake first; as the elder brother, I ought to apologize to my dear brother on behalf of my son. Why not dine at the Imperial Palace today, allowing
to express my apology?"
"No need!" Xiao Tianyu shook his head, "There's already soone waiting with dinner ready for my return!"
When he left, he had asked Liu Yan to prepare dinner awaiting his return.
After finishing, Xiao Tianyu's body soared into the air, directly leaving the Celestial Prison. After Xiao Tianyu departed, the Celestial Emperor's expression instantly turned cold, staring at the Empress.
He snorted coldly, "Do you realize you nearly ruined my grand plans?"
Upon hearing this, the Empress's heart quivered, not understanding the Celestial Emperor's aning, but still felt deeply terrified, even questioning whether Xiao Tianyu was really that important?
