Chapter 532: Five hundred thirty-two, I’m afraid I can’t decide on this!
Ling Wan ultimately did not choose to forgive the Zhao Family father and son, allowing them to stay outside his courtyard overnight. However, this incident did not affect Yun Xiao at all.
On the contrary, while the Zhao Family father and son were begging for Ling Wan’s forgiveness, a strange guest arrived at the Jade Pot Courtyard. Although this person’s strength and status were not comparable to Xue Ningxiang and Qian Sanyuan from two days ago, he was nonetheless a significant figure in the Xuanyue Empire.
"Empress gracing my Jade Pot Courtyard, may I inquire the purpose of your visit?"
Yu Shu looked at the noble figure who confidently took the seat of honor, his expression unwavering while hearing his address. The visitor was none other than Nie Yi, the Empress embodying maternal grace of the Xuanyue Empire!
In front of this person, Yu Shu felt none of the unease he had when facing Xue Ningxiang and Qian Sanyuan a few days prior. Even though Nie Yi was the Empress of Xuanyue, he himself was the Sect Master of the Jade Pot Sect, and his status was not inferior to the King, Xuan Haoran.
Moreover, Yu Shu vaguely guessed the purpose of Empress Nie Yi’s visit, flashing upon a thought of a shabbily dressed youth, yet he didn’t reveal anything, silently waiting for the Empress to continue.
As for the other Elders of the Jade Pot Sect, none spoke. It was said the Empress was quite assertive and well-backed, treasuring her son, the Crown Prince, dearly. Her visit today likely held intentions of demanding accountability.
"Sect Master Yu Shu, if I recall correctly, this is our second meeting, isn’t it?"
Empress Nie Yi did not delve straight into the main issue but instead asked something seemingly unrelated. Indeed, as she mentioned, she and Yu Shu had only met once before at a birthday feast hosted by Xuan Haoran and never had any real interaction.
"The Empress has a good memory. It has indeed been several years since that meeting!"
Since the Empress did not bring up the main issue, Yu Shu also wasn’t in a hurry, casually continuing the conversation. However, he didn’t notice a flash of anger across the eyes of the other.
"After many years, I didn’t know that Sect Master Yu Shu had taken such a promising disciple. What brilliant tactics, and what boldness!"
