Immortal Supreme Sovereign - C78

Seeing the warmth in Han Xiao’s eyes, Han Xiangtian faintly smiled. He stretched out his hand to rub Han Xiao’s head and said, “Unknowingly, you’ve almost reached the same height as me. It’s time to hand over the throne to you.”

“Royal father, forget it. I am used to living in the wild and am not interested in the throne at all.” Hearing that Han Xiangtian wanted to hand over the throne to him, Han Xiao hastily waved his hand and said.

“But didn’t you go against Zhe’er for the throne?” Seeing that Han Xiao was not interested in the throne, Han Xiangtian asked doubtfully. He looked at Han Xiao, who had always been opposing Han Zhao, and thought that Han Xiao wanted to compete with Han Li for the throne.

Han Xiao helplessly saw Han Xiangtian’s doubt and said, “I only targeted Han Zhao because Han Zhao wanted to kill me after he framed the Ninth Emperor’s brother. I hate being framed … Not to mention that Han Zhao wants my life at every turn, so I want to take what Han Zhao cares about and let him walk towards death step by step. That’s why I want to target him at every step.”

“Zhe’er, he is too ambitious. I thought that I could protect you by not paying any attention to you, but I didn’t expect that Han Zhao actually worried about your identity as the Prince. Not only did he attack you, but he also killed Ninth Brother.” Mentioning Han Zhao, Han Xiangtian couldn’t help but sigh, clenching his fists tightly as if he was enduring something.

When he mentioned the matter of him being framed by Han Zhao, he recalled the attitude Han Xiangtian had towards him. Han Xiao could not help but ask, “Father, if Xuan`er had not come out to testify for me, what would you have done?”

“I will say that I will execute you, but after pulling you out of the hall, I will have someone bring you out of the palace and over to my Shadow Squad.” Han Xiangtian said.

“Then what is the identity of Imperial Concubine Wen?” Han Xiao asked.

Wen Jing is the only daughter of the Great Elder of the Devil Shadow Sect, Wen Zhenghua. When I unintentionally saved her, she chased me back to the Imperial City and wanted to marry me to death, but in my heart, only Yun’er was completely unwilling to marry me. However, I never thought that Wen Jing Hua would actually threaten me with the Cloud Ming Empire to marry her. Han Xiangtian said helplessly.

Hearing Han Xiangtian say this, Han Xiao finally knew why the Devil Shadow Sect had come to the Cloud Ming Empire. It was probably Han Zhao who had found him to help him ascend to the throne.

“This Devil Shadow Sect is quite ambitious. I’m afraid that the reason why Wen Zhenghua married the noble imperial concubine to my father is to scheme for the Yun Ming Dynasty.” Han Xiao touched his chin and said.

I also know that Wen Zhenghua had ill intentions, but I had no objections at that time. Now, I heard that Wen Zhenghua was heavily injured by the Heavenly Cave Spiritual Academy’s candidate because he accidentally killed the Heavenly Cave Academy’s Sect Master. Furthermore, he was severely punished by the Devil Shadow Sect’s Sect Master. Han Xiangtian sighed.

“No matter what, Wen Zhenghua is the Great Elder of the Devil Shadow Sect. His power in the Devil Shadow Sect shouldn’t be weakened that easily. However, I wonder why they are here. Are they really here to get rid of me?” Han Xiao frowned.

“Therefore, today, I created you as the crown prince to see what Han Zhao’s real purpose is. However, from today onwards, you, Xiao’er, will probably be at the center of the whirlpool.” Han Xiangtian said guiltily.

If it was possible, he also didn’t want to call Han Xiao “crown prince” at this time, but if he didn’t know the Devil Shadow Sect’s purpose, then it would become an even bigger threat in the future.

“Well, anyway, if you don’t make me your Crown Prince, Han Zhao will send someone to kill me. But after you deal with Han Zhao, you can pass on the title of Crown Prince to someone else. I’m not interested in being the Emperor at all.” Han Xiao shrugged his shoulders and said.

Although he really wanted to pass the throne to Han Xiao, Han Xiangtian could only nod his head and say, “Okay, although your injuries are almost healed, you still need to treat them. You should go back and rest early.” Han Xiangtian said in heartache when he saw the bloodstains on Han Xiao’s body.

“My life force is similar to that of Little Strengthening. Royal father, you don’t have to worry, but I really need to go back. Otherwise, Ke’er and Shao Moke will worry about me.” Han Xiao said as he looked at the gradually darkening sky.

“I can see that Xiao Ke Er likes you a lot. Although you’re only nineteen, you can marry her and become an imperial concubine right now if you want.” Han Xiangtian said with a smile.

I only have Xuan’er in my heart, and Ke’er is just my close friend. But dad, you’re not young anymore, although you have a deep affection for my mother, but she’s already been dead for many years, so even if you find me a stepmother now, I can still accept it. Un, it’s a promise. Han Xiao patted Han Xiangtian on the shoulder before quickly fleeing the bamboo forest. He didn’t want to be captured by Han Xiangtian again for practice.

It was only when Han Xiao’s figure was far away that Han Xiang finally reacted, thinking back to when Han Xiao had called him father and Yun’er his mother. Although this was against the rules of the palace, it caused his heart to feel warm, “However, this stinking brat’s personality is truly changeable, and he’s the first one to see his son find things for himself.” Even though Han Xiao had seen countless people, he still could not see through Han Xiao’s personality.

It was already dinner time when they returned to the Palace. As soon as they entered, Xiao Lei, Xiao Jianfeng, was already frightened by the blood stains on his body. After checking him for a long time and knowing that his injuries were all right, they finally let him go.

“Seventh Prince, you said that your injuries were caused by the emperor, and that the emperor gave you medicine to treat it?” Looking at Han Xiao who had already changed into a clean set of clothes, he asked.

“Yes, royal father suddenly wanted to check my cultivation, so I became like this.” Han Xiao shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly, “By the way, where are Ke Er and Shao Moke?”

“They saw that you didn’t come back, so they went out to find you. How about I go out again to look for them?” Little Lei Zi said.

“Mm, Lil ‘Lei-zi, go and take a look. After all, the two of them aren’t familiar with the palace.” After Han Xiao nodded, Little Lei Zi ran out quickly.

Han Xiao stretched his body and said to Xiao Jianfeng, “Although my wounds are mostly healed, I still need to be treated. When Ke Er and Xiao Moke come back, you can take them and eat dinner. Don’t call me.” As Han Xiao spoke, he stood up and returned to his own hall.

Xiao Jianfeng did not dare to disturb Han Xiao and retreated.

After returning to his room, Han Xiao laid down on his bed. It seemed that the thing that was plaguing him earlier had disappeared, and his cultivation had also improved a bit. Although he was still quite a distance away from the early stage of Awakening Transformation, he was not in a hurry, after all, he had the power to protect himself.

Thinking this, Han Xiao felt that his cultivation had increased yet again, his state of mind became more cheerful, causing him to feel that his rate of absorbing the source energy had increased, he could feel that he could touch upon the thin barrier between him and the middle stage of the Awakening Realm.

“It seems that having a cheerful state of mind is beneficial to raising my cultivation. However, the injuries on my body right now have yet to heal, so it’s not a good time to make a breakthrough. Let’s wait for my body to recover first.” After Han Xiao finished speaking, he sat down cross-legged and focused on recuperating his body.

The next morning, Han Xiao was woken up by Xiao Ke Er’s voice. When he walked out of the sleeping quarters, he saw a furry figure pouncing towards him. He subconsciously caught it with his hand and heard Xiao Ke Er’s voice that followed closely behind.

“Ai, little thing, don’t. Eh, Han Xiao, how did you know I was looking for this little thing?” Xiao Ke Er noticed the fluffy thing in her hand and asked.

Hearing Xiao Ke Er’s words, Han Xiao looked down and saw a gold furred cat in his hand, with a “Mountain” character on its forehead. If one looked closely, they would see that it was a Rank One lynx.

“Ke Er, this is a Mountain Spirit Cat, right? Why do you call it a little thing? And where did you get this Mountain Spirit Cat from?” Han Xiao said helplessly.

“I know this is a Mountain Spirit Cat, but look at it, it’s so small. If it’s so soft, then what is it?” Xiao Ke Er said as she snatched the soul pet from Han Xiao’s hands.

“Meow.” As if Xiao Ke Er’s actions had hurt it, the soul of the mountain cat let out a cry of dissatisfaction.

“Ke Er, it seems to not like being carried by you.” Han Xiao said in amusement.

“Who said it? When I was walking down the road yesterday, it jumped into my embrace. You must have hurt it.” Xiao Ke Er glared at Han Xiao in dissatisfaction as she spoke.

Seeing that Xiao Ke Er had pushed all the responsibility onto him, Han Xiao could only helplessly nod his head. Looking at the sky outside, he thought of how he would have to ascend the throne room later and hurriedly turn around to change into his court uniform.

“Hey, Han Xiao, are you going to court again?” Xiao Ke Er asked when she saw Han Xiao hurrying out in his court uniform.

“Today is the day of the written test’s results. As the main examiner of the autumn Hall, I must go to the imperial court.” Han Xiao said helplessly.

“Hmph, I knew it! Even if we came, we wouldn’t have accompanied us. If I had known, I would have gone to look for senior student instead.” Xiao Ke Er heard Han Xiao say this in dissatisfaction.

Hearing Xiao Ke mention Xi Yun, Xiao Ke mentioned that Xi Yun had also asked her to go and find him before she went back to the Cloud Ming Dynasty. She thought about how there was still a long time left before the end of the vacation, “I’m fine with the Autumn Hall test, why don’t we go to the Ao Sky Emperor Dynasty to find Xi Yun and head back to the academy together?”

“Really. Then I really hope this Autumn Hall Competition is over soon. I’m getting so bored from all of you.” Xiao Ke Er said with a smile.

“I also hope that I can leave before it’s too late. Let’s eat breakfast when I come back.” With that, Han Xiao hurriedly ran out.

Looking at Han Xiao’s back and then looking at the lynx in his arms, Xiao Ke Er smiled and said, “Little thing, are you happy? Happy, okay. Since you’re happy, then I’m happy too. ”

Xiao Moke was completely dumbstruck when he heard this conversation. He didn’t even know when Xiao Ke Er had left with the lynx in her arms.
