Chapter 376 Cang Xue's Trick, She Wants Ling Tian? !
"Xue'er, are you saying that Ling Tian is the Crown Prince Ji Xiu?"
Jiang Rou asked incredulously.
"Is that even possible?"
Xuan Ning furrowed his brows. He had no idea where Cang Xue got this conclusion from. In any case, he couldn't find any evidence linking the two.
"Hush!"
"Whether Ling Tian is him or not, we'll soon find out!"
Cang Xue whispered to Jiang Rou and Xuan Ning, then shifted her gaze to closely observe Cang Long and the others.
Clang!
Shattered jade emitted a brilliant light.
In the flickering light and shadow, Cang Long, Cang You, and Cang Yun saw the young master who died under the Demon Blade on that stormy night, and finally, in the hazy rain, they saw the man in black robes standing under the dark moon.
"What do you think?"
"Is he Ling Tian?"
Cang Xue asked excitedly in a low voice.
Upon hearing this, Cang Long, Cang You, and Cang Yun were about to speak, but they strangely found that Ling Tian's appearance, which should have been deeply imprinted in their minds, was slowly disappearing, or rather, being covered by a strange darkness. No matter how they tried to think, they couldn't penetrate that darkness and see Ling Tian's face again.
"Miss."
"I can't remember!"
Cang Yun scratched his head and sheepishly lowered his head.
"Yeah!"
"I can't remember what Ling Tian looks like!"
Cang You swallowed nervously.
"Maybe... our brains were injured that day?"
Cang Yun explained again.
"Something's not right!"
"There's something off!"
Cang Long took a deep breath and murmured softly.
Even though they were overwhelmed by Ling Tian that day, the encounter was brief, but it shouldn't have been so short that all three of them completely forgot Ling Tian's appearance in just a few days, as if they had been cursed.
"It seems like all of you have forgotten!"
Cang Xue silently retracted her cold voice after the shattered jade, questioning them.
"Miss!"
"I apologize!"
Upon hearing this, Cang Long was startled, quickly knelt down in front of Cang Xue, trembling. They were people of the Nine Heavens Storm Tower, so they knew Cang Xue very well. Cang Xue was Cang Tian's half-sister from a different mother. Although her cultivation talent was not as good as Cang Tian's, her methods were a hundred times more ruthless. Even the young master Cang Tian was afraid of his sister.
Upon hearing this, Cang Xue expressionlessly swept her gaze over Cang Long and the others, then withdrew her gaze.
Although she couldn't confirm it at the moment, her intuition told her that Ling Tian was indeed Ji Xiu!
Therefore, all she needed to do next was to personally meet the Gate-closing Ling Tian, the Divine Emperor Li Yue!
Just as she was contemplating this, Luo Beining and the High Priest Bai Qian walked into the hall.
Upon seeing them, Cang Xue first bowed slightly to the High Priest, then directly took a few steps forward and affectionately hugged Luo Beining.
"Beining, it's been so many years since we last met!"
"Do you miss me?"
"Sister, you've truly become so beautiful now!"
Uh!
Luo Beining felt a bit stiff being hugged by Cang Xue. She had met Cang Xue when she was very young. At that time, she hadn't entered the Divine Emperor Palace as the Divine Emperor's Chief. She was still the little princess of the Luo God Clan. At that time, Cang Xue and her father, Cang Sheng, came to the Divine Realm as guests and visited their Luo God Clan, staying for three months.
And those three months became a nightmare of her childhood!
At that time, Cang Xue was very domineering and unreasonable. Not only did she snatch her candied hawthorn skewers and clothes, but she also bullied and tormented her. The problem was that she couldn't beat Cang Xue, so she could only silently endure it. Those three months were truly the first time she saw the cruelty of this world!
During the days when Cang Xue was there, she had nightmares every day, until Cang Xue left the Divine Realm, she slowly recovered.
"Let go of me!"
Luo Beining pushed Cang Xue's hand away.
"Sister, we had so many joyful times together, but now you're so cold!"
"I'm truly saddened!"
Cang Xue shook Luo Beining's jade hand, looking hurt.
"Why are you here?"
Luo Beining withdrew her hand and asked coldly.
Heh!
Cang Xue chuckled lightly in response.
"Beining, even after so many years, you're still as silly and cute as before!"
"A few days ago, my younger brother died in the Soul-breaking Mountain Range of your Divine Realm. Why do you think I came here?"
You!!
Luo Beining was at a loss for words.
Before she could speak, Cang Xue casually reached out and stroked her hair, then spoke softly.
"I'm here today to demand justice!"
"Silly girl!"
Hehehe!
The High Priest Bai Qian, upon hearing this, couldn't help but smile and speak.
"Miss."
"What crime have I committed in the realm of the gods?"
Hmph!
Cang Xue snorted coldly.
"My younger brother died in your realm of the gods. Senior, do you dare to say that your realm of the gods is innocent?"
Bai Qian heard this and maintained his smile, but his voice turned cold as he asked in return.
"Miss, is this your father's intention?"
As soon as the words fell, the air became heavy.
Xuan Ning and Jiang Rou, standing beside Cang Xue, both had a change in their expressions. This person in front of them was the high priest of the God Emperor's Palace. If they angered him, they would all suffer!
Cang Xue's face also stiffened. She took a deep breath and softened her tone, speaking slowly.
"Of course not!"
"But, High Priest, my younger brother died in the Soul-breaking Mountain Range. Don't you and the God Emperor owe an explanation to the Nine Heavens Wind and Rain Tower?"
Hmm!
The High Priest Bai Qian thought for a moment and then responded seriously.
"The young master did indeed die in the Soul-breaking Mountain Range."
"But the killer is unknown."
"The God Emperor has already thoroughly investigated."
"What does Miss think of this explanation?"
You!!
Cang Xue couldn't help but feel annoyed at Bai Qian's words. This explanation was equivalent to nothing. However, she did not show her dissatisfaction and instead turned to Luo Beining and asked.
"Bei Ning, I heard that your junior brother is extremely mysterious, with extraordinary talent in battle, and he is also your Dao companion!"
"How about you take me to meet your Legendary Level's Ling Tian Gongzi?"
"I'm very curious about him!"
No!
Luo Beining immediately refused Cang Xue without hesitation.
"So heartless!"
"Since you're unwilling."
"Then I won't force you."
"But, don't blame me for what happens next, okay?"
Cang Xue smiled meaningfully at Luo Beining.
"What do you mean?"
Luo Beining felt a very bad premonition upon hearing this.
Hehehe!
Cang Xue covered her mouth and chuckled three times. A faint blush appeared on her elegant and beautiful face. She whispered to the High Priest Bai Qian.
"Senior!"
"This time, besides investigating my brother's matter, I also have something to discuss about myself!"
You say!
Bai Qian nodded.
Hmm!
Cang Xue smiled sweetly and then spoke seriously with her red lips slightly parted.
"My brother's death is indeed heartbreaking."
"But the Nine Heavens Wind and Rain Tower and the realm of the gods must continue."
"So... how about I replace my brother?"
"What do you think?"
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone in the God Emperor's Hall stared at Cang Xue in shock.
"Xue'er, do you want to marry the God Emperor?"
Jiang Rou widened her beautiful eyes and covered her lips with her jade hand.
"Cang Xue, you... you like women?!!"
Xuan Ning felt his head buzzing.
"Oh my god!"
"This woman is crazy!"
Luo Beining was also deeply shocked.
At this moment, only the High Priest Bai Qian remained calm and composed. He calmly spoke.
"Miss."
"The God Emperor will not be pleased!"
Hehehe!
Cang Xue laughed and shook her head, looking at the High Priest with a puzzled expression.
"Senior!"
"What does it have to do with the God Emperor?"
"I'm not interested in her!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Qian furrowed his brows slightly. He calmly asked.
"So, Miss, which genius of our realm of the gods have you set your sights on?"
Cang Xue spread her hands and slowly uttered a name from her red lips.
"Ling... Tian!"
