Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi

Inside the Gathering of the Virtuous Tower.

Although the Plum City marriage contest had already concluded,

these young talents had not left immediately. They were still waiting to see who would ultimately win and marry the Baiyu Saintess!

In Xiao Yi's Tian-Character room, however, it was extremely lively at this moment.

Xiao Yi, Little Lin, Jin Yi, Da Heng, Erha, Xu Ying, Lan Ruoxi, Feng Wuji, and Lingdang were all present.

Everyone looked at Xiao Yi with a gaze filled with joy and reverence.

Little Lin grinned and said, "Boss, when you killed Zhang Yi, I was really worried Lin Tao would keep pestering us!"

"Afraid of what?"

Jin Yi crossed his arms, speaking nonchalantly, "At worst, we brothers will join forces and fight our way out of Baiyu. I don't believe anyone can stop us!"

He was, after all, Beiming Palace's Young Palace Master.

Backed by a Sacred Venerate Realm powerhouse, Kunpeng.

If Baiyu truly dared to harm him, they would face the wrath of Kunpeng, an ancient entity from the Ancient Times. Even Baiyu would think twice before provoking such anger!

After all,

Kunpeng is undeniably one of the peak existences in this realm.

Xu Ying smiled bitterly, saying, "You're oversimplifying it. Senior Lin Tao indeed hasn't pursued the matter further, but that doesn't mean this is resolved. Though Lord Xiao killed Zhang Yi, who didn't become the Saint Master's Direct Disciple, Zhang Yi was still accepted as a Direct Disciple of the Grand Elder. This matter is far from over!"

"What should we do then?"

The crowd furrowed their brows, looking troubled.

Xiao Yi calmly said, "No need to worry too much; let us wait and see." Pausing for a moment, he looked at Lan Ruoxi and asked, "Ruoxi, as the granddaughter of a grand elder, can you approach your Saintess?"

"Of course!"

Lan Ruoxi nodded, a tinge of confusion on her face, "Brother Xiao, what do you plan to do?"

Xiao Yi took a deep breath, pulling out an envelope and said, "Can you help me deliver this letter to your Saintess?"

"Huh?"

Lan Ruoxi was taken aback, showing signs of hesitance, "Brother Xiao, the Saintess has been confined in the Saintess Pavilion, guarded day and night by expert protectors. Entering and exiting requires inspections; delivering this letter might not be easy..."

"Don't worry, I anticipated this situation long ago. This letter has been treated with special methods. You only need to hide it inside a fish's belly. It will perfectly merge within the fish's body and can only be retrieved by slaughtering the fish." Xiao Yi said in a deep tone.

"Fish belly message?"

Lan Ruoxi blinked her eyes, amazed by this unheard-of technique.

However...

She had already heard from Little Lin about the relationship between Xiao Yi and Fang Qingzhu. She also thought about her own harmonious interactions with Qingzhu and how Xiao Yi's help indirectly brought her together with Xu Ying.

Considering all of this.

Lan Ruoxi nodded and said, "Alright, I will help you deliver the letter tonight!"

"Thank you!"

Xiao Yi stood and bowed deeply to Lan Ruoxi.

He currently had no means of contacting Fang Qingzhu, and neither of them knew the other's situation.

Only after learning of Lan Ruoxi's identity did he come up with this idea.

After all,

he had indeed killed Zhang Yi.

Just as Xu Ying said...

No one could say for certain if this matter was truly over.

He had to prepare for every possible contingency!

Fortunately, Lan Ruoxi agreed to assist him in delivering the fish belly message to Fang Qingzhu, which would make his upcoming plans much more feasible and smooth...

...

Baiyu Sacred Land.

The sacred mountain surrounded by its four major cities.

The mountain is perpetually shrouded in pristine snow, yet the temperature remains extraordinarily warm and pleasant. Apart from the view of snow as far as the eye can see, the landscape can be aptly described as spring-like throughout the seasons.

In the depths of the pure white palaces, within a secluded pavilion.

A figure clad in a flowing white dress, graceful and ethereal as if she stepped out of a painting, quietly sat by the window.

A pair of delicate hands, as if carved from flawless white jade.

Gently cupped her chin.

Silently gazing out the window, her eyes filled with deep sorrow and longing: "Xiao Yi, how are you? Qingzhu misses you so much..."

A solitary tear slipped down her cheek.

At that moment...

A sharp and piercing shout erupted from below: "Senior Chen, please restrain yourself. This is the Saintess's private chambers. Without her permission, no one is allowed to intrude. Senior Chen, I beseech you..."

Slap!

A loud and crisp slap resounded in the air.

The distracted Fang Qingzhu immediately snapped out of her reverie, cold frost spreading across her delicate face. Her figure blurred, leaving behind a streak of afterimages as she instantly descended to the ground floor of the pavilion.

At this moment.

A young girl dressed in plain garments was kneeling on the ground, clutching her face.

This girl was none other than Fang Qingzhu's maid, Xiao Xue.

Clutching her swollen face, Xiao Xue stubbornly blocked the doorway, refusing to let the person before her step into the pavilion.

"Audacious Fang Xue! Who gave you the nerve to obstruct Senior Chen?"

"Senior Chen is about to become Saintess's husband. What's wrong with him entering the Saintess Pavilion? You wretched maid, daring to stand in his way? Truly courting death..."

The haughty youth leading the group was flanked by two powerful fighters who scolded angrily.

If Xiao Yi were present, he would have immediately recognized one of them as Zhang Sixiang, one of Baiyu's former four Saint Heirs.

At this moment, Zhang Sixiang's face was filled with obsequious flattery.

He spoke deferentially to the proud and cold youth standing before them: "Senior Chen, please proceed inside!"

"Hmm!"

The youth remained indifferent and aloof, nodding faintly as he prepared to step forward.

At that moment...

A reprimanding voice rang out from within the pavilion, causing Senior Chen to pause mid-step: "Chen Longxiang, who gave you the audacity to cause trouble in my Saintess Pavilion?"
