Heartless Phoenix Queen - C238

The selection of the new monarch was carried out in an orderly fashion.

There were a total of 40 young men between the ages of 12 and 20. Among them, there were four at the age of 20 and seven at the age of 19. Thus, Mu Rong Xiu eliminated the eleven people who were twenty and nineteen years old first. Thus, only twelve to eighteen years old remained, a total of 29 people. Twelve years old and there were a lot of them, ten of them, so the twelve-year-old was once again excluded. Murong Xiu originally wanted to exclude the other sixteen year olds, but he saw a familiar name among them. That child’s name is Murong Na.

A few years ago, when Mu Rong Xiu had just received the Heavenly Arts Treasure Manual, he had a vague idea about the Heaven Engineer Armour. Even though the manual made it clear that it was possible to install the prosthetic arm onto a person’s body and let the person use it. However, at that time, there wasn’t a single person suitable for him to experiment with.

Coincidentally, he found out that there was a child called Murong Na in the family chamber. Because he had been bitten by a snake, he had sawed off one of his legs to prevent the poison from spreading. However, the snake’s poison still affected the child’s lower body, so he was still unable to stand. Thus, Murong Xiu took the opportunity to persuade his child’s parents to let him have a try. This child had been a highly valued male in this family for many years. His parents had no other choice, so they had no choice but to treat him and have Murong Xiu test him out.

In the end, Murong Xiu’s experiment was a success. After that, Liu Jing helped Murong Xiu find a large number of soldiers with missing limbs. Murong Xiu didn’t pay any more attention to this child. He didn’t know that this child had gone to find Liu Dun and hidden his identity as a member of Murong Zong and had always been active in Murong’s Celestial Armored Regiment. As he was taller, he lied about his age, but no one saw through him.

But now, when Mu Na received the letter from his family and learned that he had been selected as the successor of the Mu Rong family, his heart was filled with complex emotions. On one hand, he was already used to living as a “person”, and not as a “person”. On the other hand, he was somewhat looking forward to being chosen, even as a puppet.

It didn’t matter why Murong Xiu had allowed him to stand, or why he had ignored him. Regardless of the reason for this, he only knew that, like many brothers of the Heaven Armored Soldiers, they had been given a new lease on life due to Murong Xiu. Who would be willing to drag down their family with their crippled bodies?

Murong Xiu had locked onto this person called Murong Na, so he decided to pay a visit to Murong Na’s home. However, just as he was about to leave, Tang Ao brought someone to stop him.

Murong Xiu was a bit surprised. He was very curious as to who the person Tang Ao was leading was. That person had already kneeled down in front of him and was begging him for forgiveness for lying to him.

Murong Xiu waved his hand and said, “If what you say is within reason, then naturally, you won’t pursue it. You can get up and talk first. ”

That person was slightly relieved, but he still kneeled on the ground. “Subordinate Mu Nai, no … Nephew Murong Nai, first uncle. ”

Mu Rong Xiu was really shocked. He quickly pulled the man up and looked him up and down. “You really are that …” A thin bamboo pole? ”

“Yes, your subordinate.” Murong restrained and said, “Nephew, in the past, when I heard that Uncle Wang had formed the Heaven Armored Soldiers, I felt that it was very suitable for me, so I hid my name and became a member of the Heaven Armored Soldiers. Although initially it was to replace my legs regularly, but later on, I really fell in love with this troop and felt proud that I was one of them … My nephew would never have thought that there would come a day where he would be able to reunite with my uncle as my nephew … “However, at this point, your nephew feels that we should not hide anything from your uncle. Rather than letting your uncle find out, why don’t your nephew tell you directly …”

Murong Xiu clapped his hands and smiled. “Not bad, not bad!” As the saying goes, breaking iron shoes without finding a place did not require much effort! Good! This King will forgive your crime of deceit! But, what about him? ” Mu Rong Xiu pointed at Tang Ao.

Murong Na quickly restrained himself and said, “General Tang was restrained from begging just now. That’s why General Tang came to find His Highness with restraint. He didn’t tell General Tang.”

At this point, Tang Ao’s mouth was wide open. He was truly shocked by the scene in front of him. This subordinate of his was actually a disciple of the Prince’s clan!

Murong Xiu covered his mouth and laughed. “Looking at his expression, I can guess that he doesn’t know anything. It’s just that … that look is quite interesting.” Thus, Mu Rong Xiu didn’t leave the mansion. Instead, he brought Mu Rong Xiao along with him and called Tang Ao along as well.

As the cups intertwined, Murong Xiu realized that this Murong was a mature person. He didn’t look like a 16 year old child, which was why no one had discovered his true age and identity after staying in the army for so long. To Murong Xiu, it could be said that there were advantages and disadvantages to having a more mature person inherit the throne. Just as he was about to give up on the idea of finding Murong Nu as the new Lord, Murong Nu’s drunken speech made him change his mind.

“To be able to disregard the dignity of the royal family and become an ordinary citizen, uncle truly feels very happy …” Every single parent in his family scoffed at his nephew’s actions. They felt that his nephew had spoiled their family’s culture … “They all hope that your nephew will be able to enter your eyes during the selection. Only your nephew doesn’t want to be like this. Your nephew only wants to be your follower, so don’t be the king …”

After this child finished speaking, he fell asleep due to the intoxication brought about by Murong Xiu’s wine.

It didn’t matter if what he said was real or intentional, this child had been following him for the past few years. Mu Rong Xiu was quite confident in the loyalty of the Heaven Craft Armoured Soldiers. As he thought about this, he looked at his two loyal subordinates who were drunk and loyal, and decided that it was the best choice for the new lord to use Murong Nu. After all, when Murong Nu was using his full name, he was under Tang Ao for a long time.

As for Murong Xiu’s decision to choose a new monarch, he decided to put it aside for now. It had been several months since Helian Xuan Yi fell off the cliff during his fight with Lady Fang. He spent his days in the valley with Divine Doctor Xue Mingrui, who had saved his life, painstakingly practicing the Pure Yuan Palm. Whether it was in terms of the Pure Yuan Art or the palm art, he worked very hard. Ever since he lost against Murong that day, he knew the disparity between his martial arts and Murong’s. Now that he had a chance to improve himself, Helian Profound Wings naturally would not miss it.

Xue Mingrui was very satisfied with Helian’s hard work, but he was worried that Helian’s quick results would lead to him going berserk. Therefore, he decided that he might as well have his wife, Helian Fen, his great-aunt, cook medicinal food for Helian Lie every day according to his prescription to take care of his body.

That day, after lunch, Xue Mingrui stopped Helian, who was about to go train. “Child, let’s go. Grandfather will bring you to see something fun!”

“What?” Helian was curious as to what was so interesting.

“Let me show you!” Xue Mingrui had a mysterious expression, but he was unwilling to tell Duan Ling Tian exactly what it was.

“Master, are we not going to practice this afternoon?” In his heart, Helian Lie was still concerned about cultivating.

“It doesn’t matter if it’s less than a moment. Come, come, follow me.” Xue Mingrui might as well come to Lacheng Company.

Helian could only follow Xue Mingrui’s footsteps and walk forward. The two of them went around a few hilltops and unknowingly arrived next to a small stream in the middle of the mountain. It was obvious that the footprints left behind by fierce beasts were in the mud by the side of the road.

While Helian Lie was still in doubt, Xue Mingrui had already waved at him from the other side of the stream. “My dear disciple, come over here! Come here! “Are you afraid to come?”

Helian then crossed the stream and followed.

After a few rounds, a deafening roar could be heard. “Ahhh!

Helian was startled. He saw that Xue Mingrui had deftly jumped onto the branch, sat cross-legged on the tree, and happily said, “Today, I brought you to meet my friend. Now, the one pouncing towards you is my good friend. She is a beautiful lady. Be gentle to her!”

What was this beautiful lady? She was clearly a tight-eyed big yellow tiger. The tiger’s bloody mouth was wide open. It felt like it could bite off Helian’s head at any moment. Helian had to escape by luck, but the tiger pursued him relentlessly.

“Huang Sisi, hurry up and push down the kid in front of you. Give your kid a deer!” Xue Mingrui, who was sitting on a tree, shouted at the tiger.

The tiger actually seemed to understand his words. It turned its head to look at him and nodded. Then, it pounced towards Helian Lie.

Poor Helian could only run away once again. One man and one tiger, one chasing after the other. This caused Xue Mingrui to be overjoyed as he watched from a tree.

“Helian, don’t be pounced on by a big cat! Right, quickly flee! ” Xue Mingrui did not forget to fan the fire on either side.

Helian didn’t know Xue Mingrui’s intentions, so he didn’t dare to run too far. He would often escape for a while before returning a bit. After a while, Helian was already panting from exhaustion. The big tiger also seemed to be tired as it lay on the ground panting.

And so he sat on the ground, gasping for breath, ready to take a rest, when he heard another “Aww!” and another leather-eyed tiger, similar in size to the one before him, but one or two times smaller.

Helian instinctively crawled up from the ground, ready to flee for his life. One tiger chasing him was already hard enough. If two was together, even if the other was a bit smaller, he still wouldn’t be able to bear it. He didn’t want to come and play with the tiger, he wanted to go back and practice …

However, the speed of the smaller tiger wasn’t something to be reckoned with. It quickly flew to Helian Lie’s side. Helian couldn’t run anymore, so he closed his eyes and prepared to wait for the fatal pounce. But after a long time, he didn’t seem to move at all. Instead, he heard Xue Mingrui incessantly laugh.

Helian opened his eyes and discovered that the little tiger was quietly lying down beside him. It looked at him, and when Helian opened its eyes, it excitedly brought its big head close to Helian. It constantly rubbed Helian’s head, and Helian had no choice but to stretch out his hands to embrace its large head.
