The General's Genius Daughter Chapter 203

“Qiyue, don't be guilty. If you let go of them, I'm afraid that they will turn against you in the future.”

Ji Feng comforted Hua Qiyue as he thought that she was feeling guilty about killing so many people.

Hua Qiyue slightly twitched her mouth and gave a smile which looked uglier than crying.

“I'm not guilty…”

“Yes, Princess, if you didn't kill them, you might leave trouble to yourself!”

“Right, such vicious people deserve to die!”

“They actually intended to torture you to die, why would you let go of them?” Those people from gangs who stood aside said and showed their support.

Hua Qiyue glanced at them and found that many of these kind people once accepted her tasks, so she bowed with her hands folded in front of her chest to show her gratitude to them. Then, Ji Feng set forth to return to the capital.

One month ago, she was so hurried to chase after Princess Qianyang and Yun Shimo that she didn't go to the palace to search for the clue to their elopement.

But now, since she couldn't find them, she should go home.

At dusk of that day, Hua Qiyue got on the carriage. She wearily leaned inside the carriage. Ji Jing gave her a kettle of water, but Hua Qiyue just took a small sip of the water and refused to drink it.

“Sister Qiyue, this is the most famous Liquor-roasted Chicken of the Cloud Dragon Inn, try it!”

Ji Jing took out her food prepared for the journey—the roast chicken, which had been Hua Qiyue's favorite. But at this moment, she just glanced at it and said, “No, thanks, I've lost my appetite.”

Ji Feng's face darkened, and he said, “Qiyue, you'll be thinner and weaker if you still keep doing like this. Tianci will not like you doing this. No matter whom brother Yun likes, Tianci still likes you. You're his benefactor.”

“I'm not only his benefactor but also his mother.”

Hua Qiyue thought sadly and she was a little red-eyed. She quietly received the roast chicken from Ji Jing and ate it one bite after another difficultly.

After taking some chicken and a little water, she sighed and said, “Tianci always asked me to go shopping with him when he lived with me. And I always thought he was annoying… Alas, I feel extremely sad since he's not with me now, and I want to give my best things to him so that he'll come back…”

Ji Feng nodded and said, “I know, you're a good mother.”

“Tianci is the only one I care about… Although Yun Shimo eloped with Princess Qianyang, I'm not worried because I can still live a good life with Tianci in the capital. But without Tianci…”

Hua Qiyue's voice changed and she was too sad to continue.

Ji Feng and Ji Jing glanced at each other. They were both astonished on hearing that Hua Qiyue valued Tianci more than Yun Shimo.

“Forget it. Take a good rest. Let's ask the Emperor about this after we return to the capital and see if we can find any clues.”

Ji Feng said and comforted Hua Qiyue. Seeing she carry tear in her eyes, he felt sympathetic and helpless.

Hua Qiyue ate the chicken quietly but she stopped soon, leaving a large half of the chicken. Hua Qiyue thought, “Ji Feng was right, I have to keep a healthy body.”

If she fell sick, how could she find Tianci?

For one moment, no one talked in the carriage. Unknowingly, hare showed aside Hua Qiyue, and patted her shoulder with its claws, saying, “Girl, I believe that they'll come back.”

Hua Qiyue glared at it and darkened her face.

She thought that little hare must know something about the truth, but it just didn't want to tell her.

However, it had no reactions no matter how she tried, induced, and threatened it.

The hare didn't take action even when Hua Qiyue and other people were in the most emergent situation. Sometimes, Hua Qiyue had to suspect that whether it stayed with her on purpose.

Hare didn't dare to say anything when it saw Hua Qiyue was in a low spirit. So it had to lie on its stomach and closed its eyes to refresh its spirit.

It would probably take them seven or eight days to return to the capital from here.

During these days, Hua Qiyue and others slept in the carriage for most nights because they hurried to go back the capital.

Ji Feng shot a signal shell to send a message that they had already set forth to capital when he passed a small town.

With this signal shell, the disciples of Ouyang Youche's and the Ji family's could return to the capital quickly, and they didn't need to find Yun Shimo.

After all, Yun Shimo wasn't an ordinary person. Once he intended to vanish, even Hua Qiyue could not find him.

Six days later, Hua Qiyue and others finally arrived at the capital.

Since they even hurried on with their journey in the night, so, they saved much time.

It was just at noon when they arrived at the capital. Hua Qiyue and others entered the palace, but since the Emperor only summoned Hua Qiyue, the rest had to wait outside.

“Sister Qiyue, you should be careful!” Ji Jing secretly said to Hua Qiyue who smiled calmly and didn't worry about anything.

Now, she had recovered her spiritual energy.

During these six days, Hua Qiyue had tried to eat more and keep a healthier body than the past.

If the Emperor made an unexpected move, Hua Qiyue would no longer bear it.

In the Righteous Hall, there were twenty Qi Artists standing around and they were at the level between the Dragon Diagram and Cultivation Dimension.

They were very superior Qi Artists in the Changjing Kingdom, although compared to Hua Qiyue, they were much inferior.

They became uncertain when they saw Hua Qiyue.

Hua Qiyue entered Righteous Hall and calmly saluted the Changlong Emperor who was seated on his chair. She said, “Qiyue meet Your Majesty.”

Changlong Emperor smiled slightly and said, “Princess Jnighua, have you found Yun Shimo?”

“No, I haven't… that's why I entered the palace. I want Your Majesty to tell me how Yun Shimo took Princess Qianyang away that day.”

Hua Qiyue looked very calm. Although she was very nervous in her heart, she was still very calm, waiting for the answer.

The Emperor was very cunning, and she didn't know if he would play any tricks.

“The last time when Yun Shimo and Princess Qianyang came to see me, I was in my study room. Princess Qianyang left a letter to me. If you want to read it, you can follow me!”

Saying that, the Emperor walked toward his study room.

Hua Qiyue was afraid of nothing and followed the Emperor, but they were also followed by those twenty Qi Artists.

This was obviously a trap.

Hua Qiyue was very clear about it. However, she wasn't panic because she had her own ace.

After walking for tens of miles, they finally came to the front of the study room.

Changlong Emperor stood there and hesitated, and the conversation with High Priest and divination master several days ago came into his mind.

“Hua Qiyue didn't come to receive the reward. It seems that she doesn't care about fame and gain… I'm afraid that Princess Qianyang and Yun Shimo will not be her opponents if she finds them.”

“Your Majesty is right. Hua Qiyue had summoned Demon Corpse Revival Formation in the battle against Gnawing Devils Sect.”

“Your Majesty, Hua Qiyue is so horrible. I'm afraid that she'll be the disaster of our Changjing Kingdom in the future!”

Divination master was very worried.

“Your Majesty, I have a treasure that could trap Hua Qiyue…”

“Great, show me quickly…”

These words seemed to still linger around his ears, and the Emperor sighed slightly. Actually, Hua Qiyue was a genius. If she could stay in Changjing Kingdom, working as a royal Qi Artist obediently, then, he wouldn't feel fear about her.

However, Hua Qiyue had known about what had happened to her when she was three years old. Besides, she became stronger and the Emperor thought that he would probably distrust Hua Qiyue even though she stayed in Changjing.

A Eunuch opened the door and asked the twenty guards and Qi Artists to wait outside.

Hua Qiyue was fearless and relax when she entered the royal study room.

The door was closed.

There was an old man who was about fifty or sixty years old. Hua Qiyue knew him. He was both a High Priest who worked for the Emperor and a Qi Artist who was at the great completeness of Cultivation Dimension.

“Princess, this is the letter Princess Qianyang left, and she also left this to you, a ball.”

High Priest respectfully handed those things to Hua Qiyue.

Hua Qiyue took over the letter and the ball. She unfolded the letter and saw that there were only two lines of words in good handwriting.

“Your Majesty and Father, Prince Nan and I have fallen in love, and we have to elope because we're afraid that someone will avenge us. I wish you and my mother can take good care of yourselves.”

Only several words deeply stuck into Hua Qiyue's heart.

Yun Shimo was afraid of her revenge? Ha, she wouldn't need such a disloyal man.

Why wouldn't he directly tell her if he had any difficulties or troubles? Was it necessary for him to torture her like this?

The anger and hatred in Hua Qiyue's heart for a long time became stronger.

Hua Qiyue only took one glance at the crystal ball in her hand which was almost glittering and transparent on its surface, before she suddenly felt that she was attracted by the ball.

Hua Qiyue stood there numbly, and the letter in her hand fell on the ground.

“Kill her!” The Emperor roared at this moment, and a red Green Blood Sword appeared in the High Priest's hand!

Hua Qiyue stood there numbly as if she was seeing an imaginary scene, and she only felt noisy around her.

The Hugh Priest was so nervous that his hands were trembling, but he still hacked Hua Qiyue with his sword.

As soon as Hua Qiyue would be hit, unexpectedly, the High Priest felt dazzled and his sword missed the target.

“Humph, you want to kill me with such an insignificant trick?” Hua Qiyue's cold voice rose, and the Emperor's and High Priest's faces suddenly became pale.

“Hua Qiyue has rebelled, protect the Emperor!”

The High Priest spoke loudly. As the door of the study room was pushed open, tens of Qi Artists rushed in, but their countenances were full of hesitation.

Although they had been living in the palace for a long time, they also had heard about the Gnawing Devils Sect.

They felt both fear and admiration about Hua Qiyue, whom they were facing.

Hua Qiyue calmly stood there and looked around, saying as if she was talking herself, “It seems… that I cannot find any clues here. Changlong Emperor, very well. You asked the Right Custodian to break my meridian when I was three, and now, you tried to kill me over and over again…”

Several Qi Artists were protecting the Emperor who still felt some piercing coldness from Hua Qiyue. The Emperor looked pale and his body was trembling.

“Quickly… kill her! Kill this evildoer who has a blank fortune dish!” The Emperor said, trembling. He thought that Hua Qiyue would be lured by the magic crystal ball sent by the High Priest.

But unexpectedly, they failed again. This crystal ball could not do anything to Hua Qiyue!

After all, Hua Qiyue had learned Spirit Summoning Art and how could it be possible that she would be lured by this small crystal ball? It might work on others, but for Hua Qiyue, it was totally an insignificant trick.

Those Qi Artists looked at each other and they finally drew the swords at the thought of their good lives in the palace in the future.

Hua Qiyue disdained to waste her time on these people and she took the Drunken Flower Fan out of her arms, fanning heavily—

“Ahhhh… ”

People began to scream, accompanied by the cracking sounds of the door.

The Emperor, High Priest, divination master, and those Qi Artists were all fanned out of the room by Hua Qiyue, breaking the door and the ceiling of the study room, and heavily fell on the ground.
