The next morning, when Ye Xiao woke up, the outside world was in chaos. There were bustling sounds everywhere, and one could occasionally hear some people screaming and berating.
Ye Xiao knew that the news of the Zhao Family’s destruction had definitely spread.
However, Ye Xiao didn’t have the intention to go out right now!
After staying in the room for an entire afternoon, Ye Xiao finally walked out. He did not go anywhere else, instead, he walked to the first floor of the inn and sat down in the center of the bustling crowd.
After ordering a serving of food and wine, he sat alone and poured himself a cup of wine.
Although it was already the afternoon, the number of people passing by the inn was quite large. Many of them had nothing else to do, so they simply went to the inn in groups of three or five to drink and relieve their boredom.
Here, Ye Xiao also heard people talking.
Amongst all the information they exchanged, the most explosive and lively one was naturally the Zhao Family’s destruction. The Zhao Family, one of the great families of the Red Moon City, had actually been brought to their destruction by a mysterious expert in one night and their entire family was annihilated.
No one, not a single expert was spared. Be it old or young, men or women, everyone was killed and burned to ashes in a single night. This was explosive news that almost no one would believe if they did not confirm this with their own eyes.
After they confirmed the Zhao Family had really been destroyed, countless people rushed to look for the Zhao Family’s treasury or anything they could get that once belonged to the Zhao Family.
As for the identity of the mysterious expert, and why he had exterminated the Zhao family, many people guessed that it was because the Zhao family was used to being tyrannical, and accidentally offended a very powerful expert.
In the end, they were killed overnight.
Even the Imperial Palace had only sent out two military generals to investigate this matter. They had no intention of pursuing the identity of the supreme expert who destroyed the Zhao Family.
It was as if, the once mighty Zhao Family who did countless crimes but the Imperial Palace never dared to touch them, was actually not worth anything in reality. And that’s why their destruction did not affect the Imperial Palace or the Red Moon Empress.
In fact, this matter puzzled Ye Xiao as well.
If Red Moon Empress is really on the Zhao Family’s side, why did she not take action to investigate this matter?
And if she was never on the Zhao Family’s side, why did she let them continue to be tyrannical instead of silencing them up and showing them their worth a long time ago?
There were several questions in Ye Xiao’s mind, and he could already guess that only the Red Moon Empress could answer him.
He had already planned to go to the Imperial Palace today. His only intention was to meet the Red Moon Empress and confirm whether she was Ning Xiang or Qin Xingling, or not.
Additionally, he also wanted to get answers to a few questions from her.
…..
Ye Xiao could have gone to the Imperial Palace directly and met the Red Moon Empress, however, thinking about the two girls he met and accidentally took away one of the Million Star Heart Fruit that the two girls wanted, he decided to meet them like any other person.
However, before he stood up and left the Inn, he heard a few people who were talking about the Red Moon Empress.
His attention was immediately attracted so he started listening to what they were talking about.
From those people, he learned that the Red Moon Empress is sick and her illness is unknown.
At first, Ye Xiao thought it was a lie. After all, how could a powerful expert who is already at least an Origin Fusion Sovereign Realm warrior, be sick?
However, as he continued to listen to them, he learned that Red Moon Empress was indeed sick. In fact, she was terminally ill. She falls unconscious from time to time.
It is said that the Imperial Palace has announced that whoever could cure the Red Moon Empress will be rewarded heavily.
Countless Pill Refiners had gone to cure the Red Moon Empress and had been busy for a very long time, but they still could not figure out what illness the Red Moon Empress really had.
Ye Xiao’s mind moved, and he quickly thought of hammering the iron while it was hot. He planned to enter the Imperial Palace as a Pill Refiner who could cure the Red Moon Empress.
This way, he could directly meet Red Moon Empress, and officially at that. And then he could also ask his questions after curing her.
Ye Xiao believed that his [Life Recovery] ability was enough to cure all sorts of illnesses and injuries. Moreover, even if [Life Recovery] doesn’t work, he has lots of Morning Brilliance Dew.
The effect of Morning Brilliance Dew is even stronger than Life Recovery after all.
He was not worried at all.
…..
_Red Moon Empire, Imperial Palace_
This was the most luxurious place in the Red Moon City, and every corner of this palace was beautifully constructed. The most eye-catching things about this palace were several red pillars that had Divine Inscriptions inscribed on them.
The entire surroundings of the Imperial Palace were surrounded by a tight grand formation. If anyone dared to barge in without permission, they would definitely be crushed into powder by this formation.
“Please go inside!”
At this time, one of the guards was facing Ye Xiao and respectfully led Ye Xiao inside.
When Ye Xiao came to the Imperial Palace, he was stopped by the guards.
At that time, Ye Xiao stated his purpose for coming here. But the guards did not believe him.
It was only when Ye Xiao healed one of the guards’ internal injuries with his [Life Recovery] ability did they believed him and became very respectful.
They had never seen anyone who could heal severe internal injuries with just a thought.
Furthermore, that guard could also feel his life force becoming stronger. It was clear that Ye Xiao was not an ordinary person.
The guard brought Ye Xiao inside a luxurious hall where many people were already waiting. These people were all Pill Refiners.
When these Pill Refiners saw a guard bringing a young man in, they could not help but glance at Ye Xiao curiously. Seeing that Ye Xiao did not have any powerful aura on him, they gradually withdrew their gazes.
They reckoned that this was a helper sent by the Imperial Palace.
When Ye Xiao arrived, he silently went to a corner without disturbing anyone. He could hear these Pill Refiners discussing several matters amongst themselves, but none of them talked about the Red Moon Empress’s illness.
After all, the people who came here were all after the reward of the Imperial Family that would be given if they managed to treat the Red Moon Empress.
If they talked about the illness, who knows if someone would be enlightened and manage to treat the illness first?
At this moment, the gate of the hall opened once again and a white-haired old man slowly walked out.
Although this old man was somewhat aged, he walked straight and his aura was very strong. His eyes were full of vigor.
“It’s Master Fang Shen. I’ve been looking forward to meeting you for a long time!”
“Master Fang Shen has lived in the mountains for a long time and has hidden himself from the world. I never thought that the Royal Family would be able to invite him here!”
The crowd of Pill Refiners sighed with emotion and stepped forward to greet the white-haired old man.
To Fang Shen, they were merely juniors.
He waved his hand and said, “I once owed Her Majesty a favor. I couldn’t bear to see Her Majesty seriously ill, so I came to help today.”
So that was the case.
Everyone immediately started flattering the old man, “Master Fang Shen, you are indeed a righteous person. You are a role model for us.”
Creak~
While the other Pill Refiners were flattering the white-haired old man, the main door of the hall opened once again.
A few guards entered the hall and invited everyone inside, “Everyone, please follow me closely. We will go directly to the place where Her Majesty is resting.”
“That’s good. This old man will see what kind of illness Her Majesty is suffering from.”
Hearing the words of the guard, Fang Shan nodded and said in a deep voice.
Fang Shen estimated that out of all the Pill Refiners here, he was the one with the highest qualification. He was a Pill Emperor, only one rank below Pill God.
Who could be more qualified than him here?
Therefore, he walked in first, and the rest of the Pill Refiners walked in one by one, following behind Fang Shen.
Ye Xiao also followed the others in, but most of the Pill Refiners treated him as an assistant, so they didn’t mind.
