Peerless War God

Seeing that Chen Xiao seemed to be frowning, Ni Chang, who was quietly making tea, suddenly stood up and walked to Chen Xiao's side. She asked gently, "Sir, is there something troubling you?"    

"It's nothing!" Chen Xiao smiled. He slowly walked to the table and sat down. He picked up a cup of tea that had just been brewed and took a sip as he praised, "Your craftsmanship is pretty good!"    

"My lord, you're too kind!" A smile appeared on Ni Chang's face. She walked to Chen Xiao's side and slowly put her hand on Chen Xiao's shoulder and started kneading.    

The moment the clothes touched him, Chen Xiao almost subconsciously resisted. Luckily, he resisted in the end, and Ni Chang didn't do anything else, not even using any mana. She gently massaged Chen Xiao's shoulder to remove the aching sensation on his body.    

Seeing that it was indeed quite comfortable, Chen Xiao did not say much and just enjoyed himself quietly for a moment.    

A moment later, with the same strength in her hands, Ni Chang's melodious voice slowly rang out, "Sir, are you worried about Ni Chang?"    

"Why?" Chen Xiao said without turning back.    

"Master, please do not misunderstand. Rainbow Skirt is a muse in the Heavenly Palace. Even in the master's residence, she can only be a muse. She won't have any relationship with her master!" Ni Chang's voice was clear, but it seemed very attractive.    

Chen Xiao frowned slightly, "Before, I didn't say anything in front of His Majesty. I already have a family, and two of them at that. And I love them a lot, so I might not be able to take you as my concubine!"    

"Yes, Ni Chang understands. Ni Chang will not blame Sir, as long as you can stay by Sir's side and wait on Sir, you'll be fine!" Ni Chang's voice became slightly softer, and even her pinching hands trembled for a moment. However, it quickly returned to normal.    

"Don't worry, stay by my side for the time being. As for whether you'll follow me in the future, or stay in my residence for the time being, just wait for Madam to make a decision. If you stay in my residence, even if you fall in love with someone, I can still marry you out." Chen Xiao's voice was very soft, but it sounded extremely reliable.    

"Yes!" Ni Chang understands! " Ni Chang's voice became even softer, but she did not say anything else. It became a period of silence.    

"Alright, you're tired too. Take a rest first. I'll bring you straight back to the ninth level of the Refinement Realm later!" Chen Xiao said.    

"Yes sir!" Ni Chang complied and silently walked to the opposite of Chen Xiao and sat down. She was as quiet and obedient as a rabbit.    

Chen Xiao gazed at Ni Chang's face for a while and finally let out a sigh. He did not say anything further and returned to standing with his hands behind his back.    

… ….    

The Heavenly Palace, in the imperial garden!    

After sending Chen Xiao off, Steward Si returned to the side of the Celestial Emperor.    

"What's wrong with Chen Xiao?" The Heavenly Emperor's indifferent voice suddenly rang out.    

"There's nothing out of the ordinary. Before leaving, he even gifted this old servant a bottle of pills. Your Majesty, have a look?" Steward Si smiled as he took out a jade bottle.    

"Oh? That fellow refined it? Bring it to me and let me take a look! " The Heavenly Emperor's interest was piqued, and he smiled as he extended his hand to receive it.    

As he opened the jade bottle, a round pill with a hint of elixir energy fell into the hands of the Celestial Emperor.    

"Heh, it's even a top grade divine pill. It looks like it's a grade nine divine pill. I'm afraid it's the best pill that this boy can concoct, right?" The Celestial Emperor smiled as he said that, then casually returned the pill back to the bottle and threw it to Steward Si.    

"Send the order down, tell that spy to get Chen Xiao's trust. Right now, she doesn't need to do anything, she only needs to do some surveillance occasionally, and check that guy's background and identity to see if he can be reused! Do you understand? " The Celestial Emperor replied.    

"Yes, I've already said so. Your Majesty, please be at ease, Ni Chang was intelligent since young, and regardless of her beauty or worldly wisdom, she is considered one of the top scouts among all the scouts. This time, Inspector Chen is at a disadvantage!" Chief Steward Sima said with a smile.    

"Hmph, let's hope so!" The Celestial Emperor snorted and did not continue with the topic. Instead, he asked, "Have you figured out where those four old fellows are?"    

"The people below have reported that they have narrowed down to a smaller range. Now, we can basically confirm where the four Heavenly Kings are!" Steward Si said.    

"Oh? "Where is it?" The Celestial Emperor gave him a look.    

Chief Steward Sima didn't dare to have any of this. He quickly took out a star map from his storage ring, pointed out four locations, and explained it to the Celestial Emperor.    

The gaze of the Celestial Emperor fell on the star map. After looking at it for a moment, he sneered, "Four old ghosts are truly cunning. In choosing these four places, no matter which one we attack, the other three will be able to quickly provide reinforcements. This is a good plan!"    

"The rumors from before should have spread far and wide by now, right?" The Celestial Emperor suddenly said.    

"Hmm, it has basically spread throughout the Nine Heavens!" The general director replied.    

"Then let's spread a rumor that King Cheng and King Mu, one of the four great heavenly kings, have secretly conspired against the culprits and are now preparing a plot to rebel!"    

"Yes sir!" The general director hesitated, "Just the two of them?"    

"Un, I'll do it!" The Celestial Emperor replied.    

"Yes sir!" The general director immediately took out his star bell and began to give orders.    

"In this world, there are more and more Divine Soul Realm practitioners. The peace has been going on for too long; it's time to use my blade!" His gaze returned to the fish pond below him.    

Standing behind the Heavenly Emperor, Steward Sima felt his entire body go cold for no reason when he heard this, but he didn't dare show it. He quickly lowered his head and continued to wave the star bell, instructing.    

… ….    

Very quickly, another rumor began to spread throughout the various cities in the immortal realms.    

King Cheng and King Mu of the Four Heavenly Kings actually secretly linked with the remnants of the previous dynasty, colluded with each other, and constantly tried to kill the people of the Heavenly Court. They even deliberately let the remnants of the previous dynasty go, allowing those remnants to cause trouble in the immortal realms, resulting in many people to be killed!    

All of these things happened in the blink of an eye.    

For example, under the Cheng Wang helmet, there were some people who had chased down and intercepted the remnants of the previous dynasty, but were unable to catch up to them and allowed them to slip away right under their noses.    

Initially, it was not a big deal for them to let the other party escape when they failed to do so. However, after being exposed, they could not go to court, and with the rumors they created earlier, it was hard for them to say anything.    

However, no matter how difficult it was, he had to fend off all the rumors!    

Not long after, the rumors about the Mu King and Cheng Wang spread out, saying that those rumors were just false rumors, that someone was deliberately framing a loyal subject, that they themselves were the meritorious officials of the dynasty before it was exterminated, how could they collude with the dynasty's remnants?    

If they really met the remnants of the previous dynasty, those remnants would probably want to kill them immediately. How could they cooperate with them and wait?!    

In short, it was a reasonable and reasonable public opinion. It was a lively and bustling scene.
