An Unexpected Turn: Villain Becomes Dad - Chapter 68

Chapter 68

“Qingxuan, the Holy Son is new here and unfamiliar with the State Preceptor’s Mansion! Hurry and find a top-quality courtyard for the Holy Son!”

“Holy Son, if you have any requests, you can instruct my little girl!”

“Thank you, Junior Sister Xu!”

Yang Chen nodded slightly. Although Leng Yuyan was right beside him, he did not refuse. After all, this Xu Qingxuan was Li Hao’s heroine and his fiancée. Surely, he could reap a lot of VPs from her.

Xu Qingxuan’s cheeks were slightly red, but her beautiful eyes were always on Yang Chen.

Her heart was pounding.

Her guess was correct.

This person in front of her was indeed the Holy Son! Recently, she had heard many legends about the Holy Son. Defeating the Holy Son of the Blood Blade Sect with one move! Dominating the younger generation!

Obtaining the Green Lotus Heavenly Flame! Such a character was now in front of her!

“Holy Son, please follow me!”

Xu Qingxuan’s voice was somewhat flustered. Leading the way ahead, Yang Chen and Leng Yuyan followed her into the State Preceptor’s Mansion.

After they left.

The disciples of the State Preceptor’s Mansion exploded in excitement.

“It’s the Holy Son!”

“The Holy Son has come to our State Preceptor’s Mansion!”

“Just now, the Holy Son called me Junior Brother!”

“What a pity. I thought Senior Sister Xu didn’t like Li Hao, and I had a chance. Now that the Holy Son is here, Senior Sister Xu will…”

Liyang Palace.

Tianyang Hall.

Xu Hui walked in, carrying the unconscious Li Hao.

“Brother Xu!”

The ruler of Liyang Kingdom was a steady middle-aged man. At this moment, seeing his son unconscious in Xu Hui’s hands, his face immediately darkened.

“Isn’t your State Preceptor’s Mansion too domineering?”

“Hao’er went to fulfill the agreement with Qingxuan. Winning or losing is a matter for the young generation! Isn’t it excessive to treat my son like this?”

The Liyang ruler’s voice was heavy, filled with obvious anger.

Hearing this, Xu Hui’s eyes narrowed slightly.

So, Li Hao’s provocation of the State Preceptor’s Mansion was indeed tacitly approved by the Liyang ruler! As the elder guarding Liyang Kingdom, I have truly failed in my duties, as the Holy Son said! The Liyang royal family no longer respects the State Preceptor’s Mansion!

Xu Hui handed Li Hao to a eunuch nearby and said indifferently: “Li Hao provoked someone he shouldn’t have! Surviving is already a great mercy! Moreover, the Nascent Soul protector arranged by your royal family has been killed!”

“What!?” The Liyang ruler was shocked.

“Who did it? Li Wei is an uncle from my Li clan! No matter who killed a Nascent Soul practitioner from my royal family, they must pay the price!”

“Brother Xu, was it you?” The Liyang ruler’s voice grew colder, his gaze sharp as if flames were rising.

His cultivation was at the Fourth stage of the Nascent Soul realm, although only one level higher than Xu Hui, it was a difference between the Early and Mid stage.

Therefore, his tone was quite forceful.

“Brother Li, you should endure Li Wei’s death! Otherwise, your Liyang royal family might face annihilation!” Xu Hui’s voice also grew colder.

“Annihilation?” The Liyang ruler’s expression changed.

“Brother Xu, could it be that the one who killed my family’s Nascent Soul practitioner is someone from your Xuantian Sect?”

“Indeed!”

Xu Hui said coldly: “Li Hao was audacious, and Li Wei was reckless! Leaving Li Hao alive is already a great mercy from the Holy Son! Brother Li, what you need to do now is not to think about revenge! But to figure out how to appease the anger of the Holy Son of the Xuantian Sect!”

“The Holy Son of the Xuantian Sect?”

The Liyang ruler’s face turned grim.

Although he ruled a country and had held a high position for hundreds of years. He had developed a kingly aura, but he was not a fool.

The Holy Son of Xuantian Sect, although from the younger generation, held a position much higher than those Inner Sect Elders.

He was the future successor of Xuantian Sect!

Equivalent to the crown prince of Xuantian Sect!

If some Inner Sect Elders were dissatisfied with the Liyang Kingdom, they would at most cause some minor troubles, but if it were the Holy Son, he could directly annihilate the Li family.

“Brother Li, over the years, your Liyang royal family has become increasingly audacious! Now that the Holy Son is here, I hope you can restrain the royal family members! Otherwise, annihilation will be at your doorsteps! Farewell!”

After speaking, Xu Hui left directly.

The Liyang ruler’s expression fluctuated.

“The Holy Son of Xuantian Sect has come! This is quite troublesome!”

In the hall.

Li Hao woke up.

“Father Emperor! Father, the Xuantian Sect is too much! They not only forced me to kneel but also killed Elder Wei!”

“Shut up!” The Liyang ruler slapped Li Hao directly.

“Do you know who you provoked? That is the Holy Son of the Xuantian Sect! You’ve caused the royal family to lose a Nascent Soul practitioner in vain!”

“The… the Holy Son of the Xuantian Sect?” Li Hao was stunned.

Before he could react, the Liyang ruler ordered the guards: “First, imprison the Ninth Prince in the Heavenly Prison! Without my order, do not release him!”

“Father, why?” Li Hao was bewildered.

The other party killed Elder Wei and forced me to kneel. Even if it’s the Holy Son of Xuantian Sect, how can Father not seek revenge? Why imprison me?

But the guards took him away directly.

At this moment.

A beautiful woman in palace attire walked slowly from behind the hall.

Her graceful figure was adorned in a pale-yellow palace gown embroidered with a phoenix, exuding elegance and nobility.

The palace-dressed woman’s slender neck and a pair of phoenix eyes carried a hint of charm.

“Hao’er is injured. Is it appropriate to imprison him in the Heavenly Prison?”

Hearing the woman’s soft voice from behind, the Liyang ruler turned around.

“Hao’er provoked the Holy Son of Xuantian Sect. If I don’t impose some punishment, it won’t be justifiable! Now the ancestor is about to break through, and no accidents can happen! Consort Rou, are you feeling sorry for him?”

The Liyang ruler’s gaze lingered on the palace-dressed woman.

His eyes were somewhat heated.

“Li Zhan, you better watch your eyes!”

The woman coldly rebuked.

Calling a ruler by his name, her tone was extremely impolite.

The ruler of Liyang withdrew his gaze, his expression somewhat dim, and said: “You are Hao’er’s mother, concubine. As Hao’er’s father, can’t I even look at you?”

The woman’s charming eyes showed a trace of disdain.

“Master had me act as Hao’er’s adoptive mother to protect him, to prevent the bloodline of the Li family ancestor in his body from being stolen! But don’t you dare truly treat me as your concubine! Otherwise, you will die a horrible death!”

The woman’s voice was icy.

A dangerous aura filled the Tianyang Hall.

Li Zhan’s brows furrowed immediately.

“You’ve reached the Seventh stage of the Nascent Soul realm?”
