Zhu Tian: Starting from the Laughing Proud Yue Buqun

Chapter 270: A Combination of Kindness and Strictness, Wanwan Re-enters the Palace
Jiangdu Imperial Palace.

"Your subject Yuwen Huaji greets Your Majesty!"

Yuwen Huaji, dressed in a tight-fitting outfit, knelt down and bowed respectfully to Xu Qing.

After several days, he took over as the head of the Yuwen Clan and spent a lot of time reorganizing the family and dealing with the rebels in various places.

That's why I rushed back to the Jiangdu Palace today to meet Xu Qing.

"Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Yuwen Huaji slowly rose to his feet, his expression solemn.

"I have seen the message. You did a good job."

Xu Qing also witnessed the Yuwen clan's performance and learned about the abdication of that old fellow Yuwen Shang.

By appointing Yuwen Huaji, the person he controlled, as the clan leader, the Yuwen clan's attitude was revealed.

From now on, this powerful clan will completely submit to him.

"I will do my best to complete the tasks assigned by Your Majesty."

Yuwen Huaji remained neither humble nor arrogant, showing no dissatisfaction whatsoever. His eyes, and even the depths of his heart, revealed that he had already accepted this fact.

Moreover, due to the divine imprint that Xu Qing planted in his mind, which influenced his thinking, during this period of time, almost all the resentment in Yuwen Huaji's heart was erased.

In a little while, Yuwen Huaji will completely submit.

Xu Qing nodded slightly, satisfied with Yuwen Huaji's performance.

"come here."

He beckoned Yuwen Huaji to step forward.

Yuwen Huaji had a slight doubt in his heart, but he did not ask. Instead, he followed the instructions, stepped forward, climbed the steps, approached Xu Qing, and bowed.

Xu Qing pointed a finger at Yuwen Huaji's brow, causing the latter to tremble slightly and instinctively try to back away.

But the next moment, a martial arts insight containing the deepest understanding of "Ice Profound Force" surged into his mind.

This left Yuwen Huaji stunned on the spot.

Xu Qing put his hand away and calmly sat down.

"This is"

Yuwen Huaji came to his senses, his eyes filled with shock and confusion.

"The essence of the highest level of 'Ice Profound Force' can help you master this martial art as quickly as possible."

Xu Qing spoke calmly, emphasizing the importance of both kindness and severity in managing subordinates.

Yuwen Huaji had enough awe for him, but lacked gratitude.

Xu Qing used this as an opportunity to win him over and hasten his submission to him.

"Your Majesty, I thank you for your generous gift!"

Yuwen Huaji knelt down in excitement, quite surprised, never expecting such a gain.

The highest level of "Ice Profound Force" was the level that his uncle had reached after many years of cultivation.

Although he is confident that he can become the second, it will inevitably take a considerable amount of time.

Now, with this understanding of the essence of martial arts, he can quickly grasp its true meaning!
Yuwen Huaji was extremely surprised by such a great favor.

You must understand that he is completely controlled by His Majesty, and his life and death are not in his own hands. No matter how much he does, it is all justified.

Therefore, this reward was an unexpected bonus for him.

This added a touch of gratitude to Yuwen Huaji's already deep respect and reverence for Xu Qing.

"Go down and study it carefully, and then prepare to return to Daxing."

Xu Qing spoke again, saying that the affairs in Yangzhou were almost settled, and it was time for him to return to the capital of Daxing to find the Yang Gong Treasure Vault and obtain the Evil Emperor's Relic.

His Majesty is returning to the capital?!
Yuwen Huaji snapped out of his daze, a thought flashing through his mind. Without further ado, he replied, "Your subject obeys!"

"Go down."

Xu Qing waved his hand slightly, and Yuwen Huaji bowed again before getting up and turning to leave.

Suddenly, a strange light flashed in Xu Qing's eyes, and he called out to Yuwen Huaji:

"Wait a moment in front of the palace, and someone will come to see me."

Yuwen Huaji stopped in his tracks. "Someone is coming to see His Majesty so late?"
Who is it?!

He was filled with curiosity, but he still turned around and said, "Yes, Your Majesty!"

Then, he walked towards the entrance of the palace.

A pair of sharp eyes watched the situation outside, curious about who would be meeting His Majesty at this time.

The guards standing nearby, seeing Yuwen Huaji emerge and remain motionless, also turned their curious gazes to him. A moment later, Yuwen Huaji's gaze suddenly sharpened as he looked up at the sky, where a powerful surge of true energy emanated.

But there was no one in sight.

Who is coming? !

There was a clear fluctuation of true energy, yet the figure could not be seen!
How incredibly advanced must this lightness skill be?!
Yuwen Huaji was surprised, but soon a beautiful and graceful figure gradually appeared, her white jade feet stepping on the void and slowly landing in front of the palace.

"What a nice view!"

Many guards couldn't help but widen their eyes, as if they had seen a fairy descend to earth. Their minds were completely captivated by her graceful figure, and they even forgot to be vigilant for a moment.

"Who are you?!"

Yuwen Huaji stared at the incredibly beautiful and alluring woman before him, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. This woman's beauty was truly astonishing, and her temperament was even more extraordinary.

Every move she makes exudes charm, making people's blood boil and hard to resist.

Yuwen Huaji quietly circulated his Ice Profound Energy, and the chill swept through his entire body, which allowed him to resist the allure and remain calm.

“Wanwan of the Yin Gui Sect greets Lord Yuwen Huaji.”

Wanwan smiled and gave a slight bow.

She knew Yuwen Huaji; he was the chief of the imperial guards by the Sui Emperor's side and the top expert of the Yuwen clan.

A renowned master, a strong figure among the innate grandmasters.

The Demonic Sect's intelligence capabilities are quite good; they know a lot about Yuwen Huaji.

"The Demonic Sect's enchantress!?"

Yuwen Huaji's eyes narrowed instantly, and his brows furrowed. He hadn't expected that the other party would be a demoness from the Yin Gui Sect of the Demonic Cult, and the successor of Empress Zhu Yuyan.

The person His Majesty spoke of coming to see him at this time is none other than a member of the Demonic Sect!?

"Go in, His Majesty has been waiting for you for a long time."

Yuwen Huaji, with a cold face, stepped aside.

Wanwan didn't care about the other party's attitude at all. She smiled faintly and walked calmly into the palace.

"So it turns out that His Majesty's backing comes from the Demonic Sect."

Yuwen Huaji turned back to look at Wanwan's alluring figure, his mind racing.

He had previously guessed which of the three major forces in the world—Buddhism, Taoism, and Demonism—would be behind His Majesty.

Seeing this demoness from the Yin Gui Sect now is enough to confirm that it is the Demonic Sect that is supporting His Majesty.

"But when did the Demonic Sect secretly become subordinate to His Majesty?"

Yuwen Huaji couldn't understand it; this was kept too well hidden.

Only now have they made their public appearance in a seemingly legitimate manner.

They had managed to avoid everyone's attention.

"Thinking about these things is useless. My Yuwen clan now has only one path: to serve His Majesty to the death!"

Yuwen Huaji shook his head slightly, deciding not to think about it anymore.

Feeling the martial arts insights in his mind, he smiled. He had longed for the highest level of the Ice Profound Force for a long time.

With this joy, Yuwen Huaji stepped away.

Inside the palace, Wanwan stepped into the main hall, respectfully stepped forward, and bowed: "Wanwan greets Your Majesty."

Xu Qing lowered his eyes slightly, his gaze falling on Wanwan, and slowly said, "You seem to really enjoy coming to see me at night."

"It's safe and secluded at night, and it's not easy for anyone to find out," Wanwan said honestly.

"Get up and come forward to massage my shoulders."

Xu Qing didn't dwell on the matter any longer and spoke calmly.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Wanwan dared not disobey, and with light steps, she approached Xu Qing, leaving a faint fragrance in her wake.

She came up behind Xu Qing, stretched out a pair of small, jade-like hands, and gently placed them on Xu Qing's shoulders, slowly massaging them.

The moment Wanwan touched Xu Qing's body, her heart began to race.

Perhaps she was too terrified last time, but now, as she approached His Majesty, she found that he possessed a unique and attractive fragrance.

At the same time, she couldn't hide her shock. When she massaged his shoulders, she could clearly feel the terrifying power contained within this body.

It was as if what she was seeing was not a human body, but a real dragon!
"Too little force, use more force!"
