Before he could take it out, Ming Zhi Tian waved his hand, "No need, I have my own cultivation methods. Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."
"..."
Piao Yan Zun Huang was very displeased. This was the second time Ming Zhi Tian had refused him. He hated being led by the nose more than anything.
Seeing this, Star Empress stepped in to smooth things over, "Zhi Tian has a unique cultivation method. If he were to practice other techniques, it might backfire and not be a good thing."
Piao Yan Zun Huang nodded, "Since that's the case, then so be it."
Piao Ling Er said, "It's tiring to talk while standing. Father, Mother, are you going to make our guest stand?"
Piao Yan Zun Huang said, "Ming Xiu, please sit."
"You are too kind." Ming Zhi Tian nodded and sat down after they had all settled.
They chatted for a while, but Piao Yan Zun Huang soon grew bored. Before long, it was time for dinner.
During the meal, several servants, all at the Sealed God realm, brought dishes with both hands.
One of them looked at Ming Zhi Tian with surprise and astonishment, thinking, "How is this possible? Someone at such a low Sealed God realm could be sitting with His Majesty?"
With just that one glance, Piao Yan Zun Huang perceived it as a slight against him. He retaliated with a palm strike, a sharp, cold beam that sent the servant flying. The servant fell to the ground, dead.
Ming Zhi Tian stood up, looking at the scene in disbelief. At this moment, he realized that while Piao Yan Zun Huang appeared calm on the surface, he was inwardly extremely violent.
"What's wrong?" Ming Zhi Tian asked tentatively.
Piao Yan Zun Huang waved his hand, "It's nothing, just a small incident. Don't mind him, continue eating."
Seeing Star Empress and Piao Ling Er continue eating as if nothing had happened, it was clear this was not the first time.
Ming Zhi Tian gradually came to terms with it. After the meal, he pondered deeply: "In the Twenty-Three Sects and Thirty-Nine Gates, how rare and difficult it is to reach the Sealed God realm, progressing from the unknown Qi Refining Layer one to Alchemy, Royal Field, Leading Sacrifice, and finally Sealed Heaven. Yet, in the Ten Lands of the Desolate Heaven, how insignificant and powerless one is. Ten levels of the Sealed God realm are like tiny ants to a powerful being, easily crushed with a single hand."
Perhaps this was Piao Yan Zun Huang's way of asserting dominance, to save face for his four useless disciples. Ming Zhi Tian decided he could no longer be high-profile and had to endure and tread carefully.
Ming Zhi Tian sat in the Lunar Pavilion of the Divine Emperor Sacred Land Sect. Star Empress arrived. Ming Zhi Tian looked up at her elegant figure and said, "You're here. I was waiting for you."
Star Empress seemed to want to avoid something, yet she walked directly towards him.
As they drew closer, the questions and answers seemed to be written on their faces. They looked at each other.
Ming Zhi Tian asked seriously, "Shifu's wife, tell me, who was my Shifu's brother?"
Wu Sheng Ran Yi Zhou was killed by his closest brother, who also stole his beloved woman. Ming Zhi Tian had a general idea, but he still couldn't help but want to get to the bottom of it.
He wanted to know if the person who killed Ran Yi Zhou was indeed...
Star Empress said, "I didn't tell you for your own good. You saw just now, if you were in his hands, you wouldn't last half a move. Moreover, I don't believe he would do such a thing, killing his own brother."
Ming Zhi Tian said, "So Piao Yan is Shifu's brother. Is that true or not?"
Star Empress nodded, "Yes. But before there is evidence, I hope you will not make a definitive judgment that he did it."
Ming Zhi Tian laughed, "You are still defending him? These were Shifu's dying words, there is no mistake. Since Piao Yan is Shifu's brother, then he is the one who ambushed and killed Shifu. Piao Yan, how truly despicable."
Star Empress suddenly felt a headache, "Enough, stop talking."
Ming Zhi Tian said, "Why? Why do you still defend him and not help me?"
