CHAPTER 50: CHAPTER 50: SPECIAL GOOD FORTUNE!

"Where did Father go?"

Zhao Yi looked at the Miaoyin Zhenren, who had stayed in the Crown Prince’s Mansion eating and drinking after delivering the decree, and suddenly thought of a question.

His dad seemed to be missing!

The old emperor wasn’t causing a ruckus in the Imperial Court, nor hunting down the eldest or the second prince.

He was out of sight all day.

Nobody knew what he was up to every day!

After Zhao Yi finished speaking, he couldn’t help but feel a bit embarrassed.

He suddenly realized that he had been too unconcerned about the old emperor.

The empress was strong-willed, and the old emperor acted all mysterious all the time, so he never felt very present.

So much so that Zhao Yi would forget he even had a father if he didn’t need him to sign a slip.

The Miaoyin Zhenren occupied Zhao Yi’s favorite couch, and the nearby table was filled with various delicacies.

Miaoyin Zhenren had her mouth stuffed with all kinds of pastries.

"I don’t know either."

Hearing Zhao Yi’s words, she mumbled, "The Empress said His Majesty’s madness has intensified recently, so she locked him up, just waiting for him to come to his senses and persuade him to disperse his technique."

Zhao Yi suddenly thought of something and asked, "By the way, what is Father’s obsessive delusion in his madness?"

Miaoyin Zhenren casually replied, "Destroying the Great Xia, exterminating the Zhao clan!"

Miaoyin Zhenren sighed, "His Majesty was quite alright when he was young, but as he got older, he started shouting that ’the crime is on one, the merit for all time.’ "

Having seen many types of lunatics, Miaoyin Zhenren showed sympathy, but didn’t take the old emperor’s words too seriously.

The old emperor was relatively conservative.

Miaoyin Zhenren had read in Xuanzhen Temple’s records that the Zhao clan, over the past millennium, had at least eight or ten thousand lunatics wanting to destroy the world.

In comparison, the old emperor only wanted to exterminate the clan, which seemed quite mild!

As they say, a virtuous wife keeps calamities away.

The empress was so virtuous that the old emperor indeed avoided disasters!

Hmm?

Zhao Yi didn’t know what Miaoyin Zhenren was thinking.

He asked in surprise, "Is Father that brave?"

After speaking, he glanced around and lowered his voice, "Didn’t Mother beat him?"

"She did!" Miaoyin Zhenren said casually.

Zhao Yi raised an eyebrow, "Didn’t Father resist?"

Miaoyin nodded, "He resisted."

Then she added, "The Empress beat him again, and he calmed down!"

Zhao Yi’s expression became quite vivid.

He couldn’t help but praise, "Mother is really formidable, she can even handle a madman!"

Miaoyin Zhenren dismissed it lightly, "His Majesty is only a madman, not an idiot. Even if he were an idiot, he would still feel pain from a beating, and when it hurts, doesn’t he behave!"

Zhao Yi was rendered speechless.

So reasonable.

He was at a loss for words!

Then Zhao Yi remembered something and asked, "Isn’t the ’Dragon God Technique’ invincible at the same level? Why can’t Father beat Mother?"

Miaoyin Zhenren scoffed, "The ’Dragon God Technique’ is indeed invincible at the same level, but it’s the person who’s invincible, not the technique! No matter how powerful a technique is, it’s still used by a person! If the person is no good, then even the most invincible technique is useless!"

After speaking, she gave a sideways glance at Zhao Yi, "Take you for example, you clumsy oaf, even if you reach Tier Nine Saint King Realm, any expert of the same level could easily suppress you!"

Zhao Yi: "..."

He couldn’t wait to train!

Break the Mystical Gate in one day, enter Tier Nine Saint King Realm in three days.

To fiercely smack the face of this hateful woman!

Miaoyin Zhenren let out a mocking laugh, making no effort to hide her ridicule of Zhao Yi’s overestimation.

Zhao Yi was fuming.

But he could do nothing against her.

From a young age, Miaoyin Zhenren was the model child of others.

Zhao Yi and his peers grew up in her shadow.

The sense of oppression Miaoyin Zhenren gave Zhao Yi was more terrifying than the empress!

Zhao Yi decided to change the subject.

At this moment.

A streak of light suddenly shot in from outside the door.

Miaoyin Zhenren raised her hand.

A palm-sized emerald-green bird landed on her palm.

The bird’s beak was red, and its emerald-green feathers were glossy and smooth, looking very beautiful.

"Little brat!"

Zhao Yi saw the bird enter, standing in Miaoyin Zhenren’s palm chirping away and not even glancing at him, and instantly cursed in anger.

This bird was called a "Mingdi," named after a type of arrow in the military formation.

Mingdi birds were extremely fast, very smart, and had excellent memory, often used to deliver messages.

Typical Mingdi birds were entirely emerald green, but this red-beaked Mingdi in Miaoyin Zhenren’s hand was discovered by Zhao Yi while out playing, using the Heaven-Reaching Treasure Eye to find it in a secret realm.

Zhao Yi spent quite a bit of effort hatching it, only to have it taken away by Miaoyin Zhenren, who passed by ten times a day.

She grandly claimed: This bird has an affinity with her!

Zhao Yi was almost furious to death.

Zhao Yi looked at the lively Mingdi, disgruntledly saying, "You heartless beast!"

Miaoyin Zhenren glanced sideways at him, annoyed, "Why are you having a go at a bird? Besides, don’t you have a better Bai Cang?"

When Miaoyin Zhenren said this, her face was full of envy, "Some people have all the luck. You really are the luckiest among our group! On a stroll, you managed to find an egg of an Ancient Divine Bird. Such unbelievable fortune drives people mad with envy!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yi hurried to change the subject.

No more talking!

This woman snatched one mutated Mingdi Bird from him and was still eyeing his Bai Cang.

If they continued chatting, even the house couldn’t be saved!

Miaoyin noticed Zhao Yi didn’t respond, pursed her lips, and continued listening to the Mingdi Bird’s message.

After a while, Miaoyin Zhenren turned her head and gave Zhao Yi a meaningful look.

Zhao Yi, puzzled by the look, asked, "What’s up?"

With a strange expression, Miaoyin Zhenren said, "Two pieces of news, one good and one bad. Which one do you want to hear?"

Zhao Yi paused for a moment and mused, "Sweet after bitter, let’s hear the bad news first."

Miaoyin Zhenren said, "The bad news is, your Crown Prince Consort has jumped off a cliff, and her fate is unknown."

Hearing this, Zhao Yi’s eyes lit up.

"How is that bad news? Su Qianqian jumping off a cliff—that’s fantastic news!"

Zhao Yi slightly shook his head, "The good die young; mischief lasts a thousand years. I don’t believe Su Qianqian would die that easily, but her suffering is fine by me!"

He finished, looking at Miaoyin Zhenren expectantly, "What’s the good news?"

Miaoyin Zhenren, with a bizarre expression, said, "Xuanzhen Temple got word that the Buddha’s Son from West Mountain Temple is Zhao’s illegitimate child and has been secretly practicing ’Dragon God Technique.’"

The Buddha’s Son from West Mountain Temple?

Zhao Yi paused for a moment, then quickly understood.

The male lead is the Buddha’s Son from West Mountain Temple!

Is that bumpkin also royalty?

No wonder!

Some things Zhao Yi couldn’t figure out before now finally made sense.

No wonder the male lead was so fierce later!

Know that Zhao’s ’Dragon God Technique’ even Heaven-Facing Sect couldn’t resist.

Yet the male lead easily toppled the Great Xia Dynasty.

If the male lead indeed trained in ’Dragon God Technique’ and found a way to control madness, then everything makes sense!

Suddenly, Zhao Yi looked at Miaoyin Zhenren with a confused expression, "How is this good news?"

"Why not?" Miaoyin Zhenren was indifferent.

She said seriously, "If that little monk is an outsider conspiring with the Crown Prince Consort, then the royal family’s dignity suffers. But if he’s Zhao’s illegitimate child, then it’s like not letting the gains spill over!"

Zhao Yi: "..."

Not letting the gains spill over!

This turns a melodramatic love story into a melodramatic ethical romance!

Could even make it to prime time!

Just as Zhao Yi was about to speak, the little rascal rushed in from outside.

"Master, something terrible has happened!"

Zhao Yi’s face instantly grew serious.

The little rascal feared nothing.

Her saying something major happened definitely meant something significant was happening!

Earnestly, Zhao Yi said, "Don’t worry, just say what happened slowly."

The little rascal waved frantically, "No time for slow! Little Red just told me that Black Stripe is seriously injured and if delayed, it will die!"

Zhao Yi already knew Black Stripe was the beast guarding Seven-Star Begonia.

The male lead had fallen from West Mountain just then, accidentally crashing into the unfortunate creature, thereby escaping death.

The male lead knocked Black Stripe unconscious, inadvertently saving the little rascal, who left early!

Upon hearing that Black Stripe was in trouble, Zhao Yi’s tense heart finally eased.

He looked at the little rascal, asking with puzzlement, "What’s wrong with Black Stripe now? Did the previous crash leave some hidden injury that’s now flaring up?"

The little rascal shook her head, "Last time, Black Stripe was just knocked out. Before leaving, I checked. No injuries."

As she spoke, her small eyes were filled with great confusion.

"Little Red mentioned after Black Stripe got knocked out last time, it moved house."

"Just upon arriving at the new home, someone else fell from the sky!"

"This time the person was heavy, breaking several of Black Stripe’s bones!"

Saying this, the little rascal was bewildered, "Why are these people so keen on jumping off cliffs?"

Jumping off a cliff?

Suddenly Zhao Yi thought of something, turned towards Miaoyin Zhenren.

He asked, "You mentioned the Crown Prince Consort jumped off a cliff earlier, where did she jump from?"

Miaoyin Zhenren replied, "West Mountain Temple!"

Case solved!

Zhao Yi glanced at the little rascal, a twitch appearing at the corner of his mouth.

Poor Black Stripe.

So soon, being simultaneously hit by both male and female leads.

No one has luck like that!
