Fiancée Stolen by MC, I Trip Them up-Chapter 329 - 231: Yao Su!
Zhao Yi did not announce the news that the Zhao clan ancestors dispersed their techniques for reincarnation.
Returning to the Crown Prince’s Mansion, when faced with inquiries from all sides, Zhao Yi simply stated that the ancestors had all survived the Thunder Tribulation and were now consolidating their cultivation.
The Great Xia Imperial Court had no knowledge of the dangers in the Spirit Realm and the Three Thousand Small Worlds.
Upon hearing that the Great Xia had gained over a hundred thousand Tier Ten Void Realms, the originally restless court instantly stabilized.
After Zhao Yi dealt with the people from Xuanzhen Temple and the Imperial Clan Court, Linglong returned with Yao Qing and Yao Su sisters.
Miaoyin and Zuo Xiaoluo were not at the Crown Prince’s Mansion.
Miaoyin was commanding the Imperial Guard to investigate the battle puppets across the Great Xia.
If it weren’t for Black Stripe arriving with the beasts in time during the Imperial Palace guard battle, the Imperial Guard might have suffered great losses.
Therefore, after dealing with the unruly families, Miaoyin did not stop there but cast her sights beyond the Capital City.
A sly rabbit has three burrows.
The "War Puppet Spirit" is insidiously cunning and adept at hiding.
It’s impossible that it only developed in Shengjing City; it is likely spread in other towns as well.
Even the sects of immortal cultivation could be infiltrated by it.
Miaoyin also did not plan to cleanse all of the "War Puppet Spirit’s" forces.
Because that is simply impossible.
The main reason the Great Xia Court took such high-profile action was actually for deterrence.
The Great Xia Court had been too low-key for the past few hundred years, causing many to forget the Zhao clan’s thunderous methods.
Immortal Alliance, Four Seas Commerce Association, Dragon Race...
A bunch of unremarkable things dared to challenge the authority of the Zhao clan.
They simply do not know what they are doing!
On the other side, Zuo Xiaoluo had been busy reorganizing the military lately.
Having received orders to protect the Capital City, the Iron Armor Army had recently arrived in Shengjing City.
The Empress handed the Commander’s Seal to Zuo Xiaoluo.
From then on, both major armies of the Great Xia Dynasty, the Iron Armor Army and the Armor-Breaking Army, were under Zuo Xiaoluo’s command.
For the past few days, Zuo Xiaoluo had been living and eating in the military camp.
On one hand, to familiarize herself with the personnel configuration of the Iron Armor Army, and on the other, to let the Iron Armor Army quickly get used to her command style.
Zhao Yi did not interfere in their official duties, and after communicating with them about the situation, he turned his attention to Yao Su.
He wanted to know what exactly happened during the Spirit Realm journey. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
When Zhao Yi sent someone to call over the little creature, she had a bone with meat in her mouth.
Black Stripe followed behind her, baring its teeth and barking incessantly.
Although Zhao Yi couldn’t understand, he roughly got the gist.
Black Stripe was cursing very coarsely!
Black Stripe had made significant contributions in the previous Imperial Palace defense battle.
The Empress rewarded it generously.
In recent days, it had been living lavishly, eating and drinking well, enjoying a carefree life.
The only thing that upset it was the little creature’s constant stealing of food.
Today’s steak was grilled by the chef under Black Stripe’s watch at the stove.
With just a blink of inattention, a perfectly grilled steak, crisp on the outside and tender on the inside, was stolen by the little creature.
Black Stripe was so angry that it cursed out loud.
As a result, with another moment of carelessness, the rest of the steak was entirely stolen by Taotie.
Having guarded it for half a day, Black Stripe ended up not getting a single bite.
It dared not offend Taotie, so it kept following the little creature while cursing.
Black Stripe’s barking was so loud that Linglong, who was beside him, was made headache by it.
Finally, Linglong, unable to stand it anymore, turned to ask the little creature.
"What is it saying?"
The little creature, wary of Black Stripe’s threatening gaze and afraid it would pounce to grab food, hurriedly finished off the steak in a few bites, then leisurely sucked on the bone.
Upon hearing Linglong’s question, the little creature replied without thinking, "Black Stripe is asking if I ate well, and if I’m still hungry, it has more and I should go get it from him!"
Upon hearing this, Black Stripe barked even more furiously.
Linglong’s mouth twitched slightly, hesitating, "I feel like that’s not what it means!"
"That’s exactly what it means!" the little creature affirmed, "I grew up with them, I’m the fastest at conveying messages!"
Fastest at conveying?
But accuracy isn’t the concern, is it?
Understanding the little creature, knowing her thought process isn’t like a normal person’s, Linglong said no more, pointing to Yao Qing and Yao Su on the ground.
"I used your ’Three-Day Hangover’ to knock them out; You detoxify them; His Highness has questions to ask."
"There’s no antidote for Three-Day Hangover," the little creature said nonchalantly, "just have someone bring a basin of cold water and splash them awake."
Linglong was stunned for a moment, "That simple?"
The little creature nodded, "That’s how knockout drugs are, more or less."
Linglong nodded, directing a servant beside her to fetch water.
Soon, cold water was brought.
Linglong took the basin and splashed it over Yao Su’s head.
Yao Su awoke with a jolt, gradually coming to her senses.
Seeing the unfamiliar location and people, Yao Su’s face changed at once.
Upon seeing Yao Qing sleeping soundly and her clothes intact beside her, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Then Yao Su looked at Zhao Yi, sitting in the main seat, her face darkened, "What do you want?"
Zhao Yi, without beating around the bush, got straight to the point, "You’re smart, so I won’t beat around the bush. Tell me exactly what happened in the Spirit Realm, and I will spare your life. Otherwise, you can accompany Prince Zhi in burial."
Hearing Zhao Yi’s words, Yao Su was slightly taken aback: "You don’t know what happened in the Spirit Realm, weren’t you also there..."
Mid-sentence, Yao Su suddenly paused.
Unlike her sister Yao Qing, Yao Su was smarter,
because she’d always been honing her skills in the Four Seas Commerce Association, more experienced.
Upon hearing Zhao Yi’s words, she immediately realized.
Zhao Yi’s divine soul in her Divine Sense Space had encountered issues before.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t be asking her.
Bidding one’s time!
In her mind, this term nearly reflexively popped up.
"What’s in it for me?" Yao Su asked.
The Four Seas Commerce Headquarters had been destroyed by the Great Xia’s Imperial Guard, leaving Yao Su’s accumulation over a dozen years in the Four Seas Commerce Association emptied overnight.
Most importantly, she’d lost her cultivation too.
Now she was like a cripple, without power or status, lacking even the ability for self-preservation.
Thus, Yao Su desperately needed Zhao Yi to provide her some form of assistance.
Whether it be promises for her safety or material rewards.
Hearing her, Zhao Yi shot her a deep glance and nodded, "What do you want?"
Yao Su’s eyes brightened, without hesitation she said, "The Four Seas Commerce Association!"
She quickly added, "I spent over a decade there, I know how its operations work. You’ve cleared their high ranks, the association is likely leaderless now, I can help you rebuild this setup!"
Zhao Yi responded ambiguously, "That depends on whether what you give me is valuable enough. If it satisfies me, the Four Seas Commerce Association can be yours. If you dare conceal anything, you know the consequences."
Yao Su quickly nodded; "Rest assured, I will speak the truth, not withholding a single word."
Zhao Yi glanced at her, nodded,
"Begin!"
