Sign In Buddha's Palm Chapter 97

Chapter 97: Fate Will Soon End.

Edited by: Mochiusagi

“No, I can't just be satisfied with this…”

“There are still many places in the Imperial Palace that I haven't Signed In yet.”

Su Qin thought.

Although with his strength, it does not take long to visit the Imperial Palace, but he can only Sign In once a day.

“It should take me about half a year to Sign In at every place in the Imperial Palace…”

Su Qin estimated in his mind.

On this day, Su Yueyun asked Su Qin to eat with her and Crown Prince Li Sheng.

Su Qin did not refuse. Anyway, today's Sign In opportunity has been used up, and he had nothing to do for the time being.

Soon, Su Qin came to Cheng'en Hall.

Cheng'en Hall is the place where the Crown Prince lives in the East Palace.

After Su Qin arrived, Crown Prince Li Sheng and Su Yueyun were already there.

“Brother, here.”

Crown Prince Li Sheng moved towards Su Qin and beckoned. He faced Su Qin without the majesty of being the Crown Prince and instead, he was just like a normal relative.

“Third Brother, how's your stay in the palace so far? Are you getting used to it?”

After Su Qin took his seat, Su Yueyun asked with concern.

Although everything is good in the Palace, it is too depressing and cold. This was why the two brothers, Su Chenghao and Su Chengyu, preferred to join the army.

For some people who are hyper and lively, working in the palace is tantamount to being in prison.

That's why Su Yueyun asked this question.

“How am I?”

Su Qin thought of Innate Spirit Liquid, [Longevity Secret Art], [White Jade True Body] and [Star Traction Technique], and nodded. He replied: “Very good!”

“It's good that Third Brother is getting used to being here.”

Crown Prince Li Sheng slightly nodded and said with a smile: “I was talking to Yun'er about this just now…”

Crown Prince Li Sheng patted his head and said: “Third Brother, let's eat. Today's meal is carefully prepared by the Imperial Chef.”

Though, Su Qin really doesn't mind what he eats.

Ever since he attained Arhat Buddhahood, he has long reached the level of not needing to eat to supplement his energy.

Of course, although there is no need to eat, it does not mean that Su Qin will not eat.

Just then, a court lady hurried in.

“His Highness, His Majesty is here.”

Crown Prince Li Sheng's expression changed slightly.

“Father is here?”

Crown Prince Li Sheng immediately got up to meet him.

He then saw that Emperor Tang had already strode in. Emperor Tang waved his hand and said: “No need for formalities, I am just taking a look.”

“Please.”

Crown Prince Li Sheng quickly gave up his seat to Emperor Tang and sat aside.

“Who's this junior?”

Emperor Tang looked at Su Qin.

Crown Prince Li Sheng immediately replied: “Your Majesty, he is Yun'er's Third Brother. He has only recently returned to Chang'an, that's why you have never seen him before.”

“Oh, it's the Su Family…”

Emperor Tang nodded and did not ask much.

However, when Su Qin looked at Emperor Tang, his brow slightly wrinkled.

Su Qin clearly felt that Emperor Tang's body had long degraded. Even a Martial Artist in the Upper Realm wouldn't be able to live longer.

“Is it because of him?”

Su Qin's eyes turned to the purple clothed eunuch next to Emperor Tang.

With Su Qin's eyesight, he can see that this eunuch is a Peak Grade 1 Great Grandmaster with both Body and Divine Sense transformed.

“It's a pity…”

Su Qin just glanced at the purple clothed eunuch and he didn't look more.

The purple clothed eunuch had already transformed his Body and Divine Sense, but because he is now lacking Life Essence, he wouldn't be able to achieve Grade 1 Great Perfection.

If the Demon Lord or Daoist Zhang might have the chance to enter Grade 1 Great Perfection, then this purple clothed eunuch had completely cut off his hope.

“[Longevity Secret Art]?”

Su Qin opened [Eyes of Truth], and instantly saw the reason why Emperor Tang was still alive, even though his body was empty.

With Emperor Tang's current body, he should have died long ago, but he was pulled back by the purple clothed eunuch with [Longevity Secret Art].

In other words, what's keeping Emperor Tang alive at this moment is not his own Life Essence, but the Life Essence of the purple clothed eunuch.

In a way, the longer Emperor Tang lives, the less Life Essence the purple clothed eunuch will have left.

Knowing this, Su Qin couldn't help but respect the purple clothed eunuch.

“But it makes no sense…”

Su Qin slightly shook his head.

[Longevity Secret Art] is extremely complicated. To put it into perspective, for every year that Emperor Tang continued living, the purple clothed eunuch will consume three to five years of his Life Essence.

Even if it is a close relative, there are very few people who would be willing to exchange their life for another's. Moreover, with the strength of a purple clothed eunuch, no one can force him to use this secret technique, meaning this is out of his own free will.

But still, Emperor Tang will not live long.

Just when Su Qin was thinking, Emperor Tang sat down.

“It's rare for me to drink wine…”

Tang Huang's eyes suddenly brightened as he was about to take a sip.

“Your Majesty, please take care of your body…” Crown Prince Li Sheng was anxious and immediately dissuaded him.

“Take care of my body?”

“Isn't my body good?”

Tang Huang put down the wine glass and frowned. He then looked at Su Qin: “Yun'er's Third Brother, tell me, how is my body?”

Su Qin looked at Emperor Tang, he nodded at first but then shook his head again.

“Oh?”

“What do you mean?”

Tang Huang asked with interest.

“Do you really want to know?” Su Qin asked back.

“Of course.”

Emperor Tang nodded.

Su Qin was silent for a while, before he said: “Fate will soon end (aka he'll die).”

The Cheng'en Hall fell into dead silence.

Crown Prince Li Sheng opened his eyes wide and looked at Su Qin in disbelief.

He didn't expect that Su Qin would dare say such things in front of the Emperor.

“Your Majesty, he is just kidding…”

Crown Prince Li Sheng immediately tried to intercede for Su Qin.

And then…

“Hahahahaha.”

Emperor Tang burst into laughter.

“Interesting.”

“Really interesting…”

A trace of sarcasm appeared on Emperor Tang's face: “I didn't expect that something that the Officials, Princes and Ministers were afraid to say, was easily said by a junior…”

Emperor Tang laughed for a while, and after a few coughs, his mood returned to normal.

“Come here.”

Emperor Tang said.

“Your Majesty.”

A young eunuch walked up and stood respectfully on his side.

“The brave shall be rewarded!”

Emperor Tang took a deep look at Su Qin and got up and left Cheng'en Hall.

“According to His Majesty.”

The young eunuch bowed slightly and left Cheng'en Hall. He then returned shortly afterwards and loudly said: “One shall be rewarded with one hundred taels of gold and an ancestral jade pendant.”

Crown Prince Li Sheng and Su Yueyun glanced at each other, they could not react to what had just happened.
