Chapter 844: Emperor Chu Ascends to Heaven, Appears at the Saint’s Place (1)
Director Mu quickly saw through this complicated gaze. He didn’t know what had happened, but he knew that the Chu Emperor had said to let him in first. This proved that this matter wasn’t simple.
Thinking of this, Chief Mu did not say anything more. He turned around and raised his hand, making a gesture of invitation.
The Chu Emperor placed his hands behind his back and walked towards Zhai Xing Lou.
At this moment, everyone in Zhai Xing Lou had left. Because of the Chu Emperor’s words, no one dared to stay here.
The Chu Emperor walked very slowly. With every step he took, he would size up his surroundings, as if he wanted to memorize everything in his surroundings.
After arriving at the staircase, he lifted his feet and walked up the stairs. He placed his hand on the handrail and slowly felt around.
Director Mu, who was standing behind him, frowned even more when he saw the situation.
“I remember that the first time you said you wanted to keep a low profile, but you built this nine-story building.”The Chu Emperor lowered his gaze, and no one understood the meaning in his gaze.
“Later, Eunuch Wei came over to scold you when he knew. The two of you started arguing. Eunuch Wei was impatient and pushed you onto the stairs, breaking the handrail.”
The Chu Emperor spoke of this past event.
Director Mu shook his head.” He’s older than me. I have to give in to him. Otherwise, I’m a Saint Warrior. Why would I be afraid of a Transcendent?””
After he said that, he looked around and heaved a sigh of relief when he confirmed that he did not see Eunuch Wei.
People naturally restrained each other. The head of the Heaven Inspectorate was only afraid of Eunuch Wei in the palace.
The Chu Emperor didn’t pay attention to Director Mu’s small movements. He gently wiped the armrest with his hand.”We’re all family. There’s no need to get angry over such trivial matters in the future.”
As soon as he said that, Director Mu’s already anxious heart became even more anxious.
“Your Majesty, why do I feel that you seem to… It seems…”
He didn’t finish his sentence. It wasn’t convenient for him to say it in such an occasion.
But his meaning was already very clear.
The Chu Emperor turned his head, and his gaze that had been lowered all this while finally landed on Director Mu. His tone carried a hint of ridicule.”It’s like you’re saying your last words, right?”
Director Mu didn’t say anything, but the anxiety in his eyes showed his current state of mind.
“Let’s go to the ninth floor for a drink!” The Chu Emperor waved his hand and didn’t dwell on this matter. He took large strides up the stairs and continued walking.
Director Mu did not ask and followed behind.
The two of them walked all the way until they finally arrived at the ninth floor.
Director Mu lit the oil lamp and took out two jars of wine from the cabinet beside him. He handed one jar to the Chu Emperor and opened the other jar himself.
The Chu Emperor opened the wine jar and raised his head to take a sip. Wiping the wine from the corners of his mouth, he sighed.”Awesome!”
Director Mu also took a big gulp.” The last time we drank was when Xu Bai was around. He was going to the Bizarre City to look for the Demon’s Heart, so I drank with him.”
“Xu Bai…” The Chu Emperor’s gaze was deep,’That’s a good child. Although there are times when he’s overly greedy, he’s never ambiguous in the face of major issues.’”
“Yes!” Director Mu nodded and agreed, but his face showed hesitation.
There were some things that he really wanted to ask, but the Chu Emperor didn’t seem to want to tell him.
“Go ahead.” The Chu Emperor took another sip of wine, but his eyes were clear.”At our level, getting drunk is a luxury.”
Director Mu gritted his teeth and finally asked the question in his heart,”Your Majesty, you said that you wanted to say your last words. What do you mean?”
The Chu Emperor stretched out his hand and patted Chief Mu’s shoulder. He smiled and said,””Nothing much. It’s just that I’m going to die soon. Then, I want to hand over the world of Great Chu to you. How about you be the emperor?”
“Swoosh!”
Director Mu stood up abruptly and took two steps back.
“Your Majesty, why?”
He didn’t try to dissuade her, nor did he try to persuade her. He just wanted to know the reason.
From the conversation just now, he knew that the Chu Emperor wasn’t joking with him. This matter was real.
But… Why?
How could a ninth-grade Saint suddenly die?
“Why…” The Chu Emperor’s eyes revealed a rueful look. He came to the window and looked at the entire capital from the nine-story building.”The capital is really good. Unfortunately, I still have many things to do.”
“Most of the people have no worries about food and clothing, but there are still many remote places that live in extreme poverty. I’ll hand these things to you in the future.”
“Also, severely punish corrupt officials. When I sent Xu Bai to the capital, I had already filled in many loopholes, but there were still some fish that slipped through the net.”
“Lastly, Xu Bai is a good child. You must not scheme against him in the future.”
With every word spoken, the Chu Emperor’s tone became more and more solemn. Towards the end, his body already revealed a powerful pressure.
“Your Majesty!” Director Mu quickly walked to the front of the Emperor of Chu and pulled his sleeve. He said anxiously,””Are you going to… To the Bizarre Market?”
The Chu Emperor nodded without avoiding the news.”Now that the world is unified, do you know that if the two bizarre markets are unified, their chances of becoming Saints will definitely surpass ours by a lot? We have no chance of winning, not even a little bit.”
“I knew this long ago. I lied to you. Even if the world is unified, we can’t enter the Bizarre Market because we can only start a war after the Bizarre Market is unified. We won’t be disturbed by the rules.”
