Chapter 769: Provocation (Asking for Monthly Votes)
It wasn't until Gongsun Haoshu and the others disappeared completely that Wu Tian relaxed his brows, turned his eyes, looked at the wide-faced golden armor guard, and nodded slightly.
When the two saw this, they breathed a sigh of relief. The wide-faced guard hurriedly turned around to perform his duty and lead the way.
Walking into Shengzun's Mansion, Wutian's eyes suddenly lit up. He saw gardens, ponds, and pavilions everywhere. The intoxicating fragrance of flowers hit his nostrils, and the sound of water drops could be heard endlessly.
Looking around, there are sentries every three steps in the corridor, which is heavily guarded.
Wutian was secretly speechless, and he really couldn't figure it out. The Jiao Emperor was already so strong, so why did he have so many guards?
But soon, he got the answer.
In a certain garden, an eleven or twelve-year-old girl was squatting on the pavilion unhappy, looking listlessly at a pond not far away, with two white and tender arms, hugging her legs, and a thin body. He seems a little lonely and lovable.
Next to the little girl, there were two maids, who seemed to be saying something to the little girl, but Wutian could not hear them due to the distance.
But he did know the little girl. She was Xiao Caixue, the Jiao Emperor's daughter.
And all the golden armor guards are protecting her. This can be seen from the way they always look at Xiao Caixue and the eyes around Xiao Caixue.
Glancing at Wutian, the wide-faced guard said meaningfully: "Actually, the young lady used to be very lively, but after she came back from the No. 2 War Zone, she has become depressed and can't say more than ten words the whole day. "
The implication is that the young lady would become like this because of no natural harm.
Wutian seemed as if he had not heard anything and was thoughtful.
Calculating it carefully, it has been almost three years since Xiao Caixue left last time. Three years is naturally nothing to him, but to a child, it can change a lot of things.
Among them, growing up and growing taller are the biggest changes.
However, at this moment, when he saw Xiao Caixue again, Wu Tian discovered that she had not changed at all. Whether it was her face or height, she was still exactly the same as the first time he saw her.
This is obviously weird!
The wide-faced guard did not walk towards Xiao Caixue, but went straight in.
Wutian walked through the corridors with doubts in his mind, and finally saw a small wooden house not far away.
That’s right, it’s indeed a cabin!
Moreover, judging from the appearance of the wide-faced guard, the destination of this trip was exactly that cabin.
Wutian was puzzled. He didn't say he was going to the hall before, so why did he end up in such a place instead?
Looking beyond the cabin into the depths, he immediately became incredulous. The environment inside was as beautiful as the places he passed along the way, but they were all the same cabins. He even saw a thatched hut in the deepest part. .
As if he saw Wutian's confusion, the wide-faced guard smiled and said: "Master, do you think that the inside of the Holy Lord's Mansion is a little different from what you imagined?"
Wutian nodded without denying it.
"Actually, it's not just Young Master, everyone who comes to the Holy Lord's Mansion for the first time will feel this way."
The wide-faced guard explained: "When the Holy Lord's Mansion was originally built, the Holy Lord originally disagreed, but the four saints persisted, and the Holy Lord could only accept it calmly in the end. However, in order not to be extravagant and wasteful, the Holy Lord asked, Only building four walls is considered as a facade. As for the environment and layout inside, it must be arranged according to his wishes. "
Wutian suddenly realized and said that Emperor Jiao could not be a person who likes luxury, no, he was a ferocious beast.
The wide-faced guard smiled and added: "Actually, this is not bad. From the outside, the Holy Lord's Mansion is tall, grand and decent, but inside it is beautiful, elegant and quiet, with a unique flavor."
Wutian nodded.
Then, the two of them passed through a tree-lined path and appeared in front of the cabin. The wide-faced guard bowed and said, "Housekeeper He, my subordinates have brought Master Wutian."
"Invite him in!" An old voice came from inside the wooden house.
The wide-faced guard stepped forward, pushed the closed wooden door open with a creak, then stepped aside and smiled at Wutian: "Master, please come in."
With his eyes flickering, Wutian took a step forward and appeared directly in the wooden house. Seeing this, the wide-faced guard at the outer door reached out to close the wooden door and returned the way he came.
The furnishings in the wooden house are very simple, but they are clean and dry.
An old man with white hair and a boyish face was sitting on a wooden chair in front of the hall, holding a teacup in his wrinkled hands. While Wutian was looking at his surroundings, he put down the teacup, stood up and pointed to the wooden chair beside him, laughing. He said: "Master Wutian, please sit down."
Wutian looked and his pupils shrank slightly.
At just the first glance, Wutian knew that the old man was a strong man who was not inferior to King Kong Biming!
Wu Tian shook his head and said: "Wu has important matters to attend to, so he won't sit down. The old man should just tell you the purpose of calling Wu here!"
Butler He was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Young Master is quick to speak, so I won't be verbose. The main reason why I came to you this time is for the young lady."
"Xiao Caixue?" Wutian frowned.
Butler He said: "Since she came back from War Zone No. 2, the young lady has been feeling depressed. Finally, after I pressed her, Yu Xiaohao told me what happened, saying that she might have been scared by you."
"Scared?"
Wu Tian was stunned and very puzzled.
When he first met Xiao Caixue, his first impression was that of lawlessness. How could the little witch, who was afraid of chaos in the world, be frightened by a mere killing?
"Young Master, you don't know. Although the young lady is fearless, she is still a child after all. The means you showed at the beginning were too cold-blooded and ruthless, which inevitably left some indelible shadows in her heart." He Guanjia sighed.
Wu Tian shrugged, as if to say, this seems to have nothing to do with me!
He Guanjia shook his head and said, "After that, I also thought of many ways, but they didn't work at all. Finally, I thought that the person who tied the bell should be the one to untie it. It was just that I didn't dare to find you because of your spy identity at that time. But a few days ago, when I learned your true identity from the Saint, I finally saw hope, so I asked Xuan Shengzun to invite you to come to the Saint's Mansion."
Wu Tian understood it. After a long time, it turned out that he wanted him to enlighten Xiao Caixue and let her return to normal.
After a little hesitation, Wu Tian said weakly: "I'll try my best!"
To be honest, he was very reluctant and had no obligation.
But no matter what, the kindness of the Jiao Emperor to him cannot be erased. He can refuse the roster, but if he refuses such a small favor, it is really unreasonable.
Butler He was delighted and hurriedly bowed his hands and said, "Thank you, young master."
"Don't be in a hurry to thank me. I just said I will try my best. If there is still no result before dawn tomorrow, then I can't accompany you."
"That's right, that's right. I know that you are going to the Xuanhuang battlefield, and I also understand the priorities of things. I dare not delay you too much time."
Butler He nodded repeatedly and immediately took Wu Tian to the location of Xiao Caixue.
"In fact, the Saint does not agree with me to do this, but every time I see the young lady depressed, I can't help but feel distressed, so I went against the Saint's wishes and insisted on asking you to come..."
On the way, Butler He seemed to believe that Wu Tian could do it. He was so happy that he kept talking since he left the house.
Soon, the two came to the side of the pavilion. Steward He walked in with a smile on his face and said kindly: "Miss, look who I brought to you."
"Who is it?" Xiao Caixue responded listlessly.
He squatted beside Xiao Caixue, stretched out his hand to Wu Tian behind him, and smiled: "You will know if you look back."
Xiao Caixue's little nose twitched, and she looked back weakly, glanced at Wu Tian, but there was no reaction at all. She turned back and continued to stare at the water, saying indifferently: "I don't know him."
Wu Tian was stunned, and suddenly realized that when he was in the second war zone, he was still a child. Now that he has returned to his original form, Xiao Caixue naturally can't recognize him.
Suddenly, a monstrous murderous aura rushed out of Wu Tian's body, and the pair of eyes that had color before also became extremely cold in an instant.
The sudden scene not only made Xiao Caixue jump up like a frightened rabbit, but also made Butler He protect Xiao Caixue behind him as if he was facing a great enemy, and looked at Wu Tian vigilantly.
Whoosh!!!
The golden armor guards protecting Xiao Caixue were naturally alarmed. With the sound of breaking through the air, they appeared around the pavilion one after another, surrounding the place tightly and filled with murderous intent!
Wu Tian ignored it, stared at Xiao Caixue coldly, and said coldly: "Do you know me now!"
"I recognize your eyes, you... are the... devil... Wu Tian..."
Xiao Caixue seemed extremely panicked and scared, her speech was unclear, her eyes were evasive, and her hands that grabbed Butler He's clothes were obviously trembling slightly.
"Devil?"
Wutian was stunned and smiled bitterly in his heart. He didn't expect that he had another nickname unknowingly, and this nickname was not just ugly!
Suddenly, a plan came to his mind. Wu Tian sneered, "Were you fearless in the No. 2 War Zone? Moreover, you followed me and ran most of the battlefield. Why don't you even dare to look at me now? Are you afraid?"
"I..."
Xiao Caixue hid behind Butler He, stuttering for a long time without saying a word.
Wutian sneered and hit him unceremoniously, "I thought you were so brave and capable! It turns out you are just a fool."
"I'm not a fool." Xiao Caixue retorted immediately, but her little head was still hidden behind Butler He, seeking protection.
Wutian sighed secretly, feeling a little bit reluctant.
After hesitating for a moment, he continued to sneer: "Coward, just admit it! No one here will laugh at you, because they dare not, who told you to have a great father! In other words, if you don't have your father, you are worse than a straw bag."
"Woo woo..."
Before Wu Tian finished speaking, Xiao Caixue began to cry.
"Only cowards will cry. Generally, brave people will face those who ridicule them, but you only know how to use crying to vent your helplessness and fear. Tell me, if you are not a straw bag, what are you?"
After Wu Tian finished speaking, he obviously noticed that Xiao Caixue's little head was slowly moving out.
So, he began to exaggerate and sighed: "I wanted to see how great the daughter of the Jiao Emperor was, but it turned out to be just like this. I am so disappointed! I think the daughter of the dignified Eastern Domain Saint doesn't even have the courage to look at others. It's useless..."
Seeing that Wu Tian was getting more and more excessive, the old eyes of Steward He couldn't help but rise with strong anger. Just when he was about to open his mouth to scold, an angry voice suddenly sounded.
"I'm not a coward or a idiot. You bastard, the murderous devil. I won't give up until I beat you down today!"
The owner of the voice was none other than Xiao Caixue.
"The magic will be accomplished." Seeing this, Wutian finally breathed a sigh of relief, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
