Gao Yunyi: Did You Ask?

Xiao Chengchen walked on the deserted street.

The torrential rain pelted him like pebbles, but he seemed to feel no pain.

The exquisite and ornate armor had been removed at some point.

Wearing only a thin shirt and trousers, he was soaked by the rain, the fabric clinging tightly to his skin, revealing his frail and thin body.

At this moment, he was in a daze, numb and disoriented.

I don't know where to go, or what to do.

It was as if the whole world had isolated him and abandoned him.

That's true.

He is now a complete failure, an absolute loner.

He has nothing left.

Everything is lost.

Wang Zitao said he still had a chance; he could coordinate with the Duke of Qian outside the city to turn the tide and win.

Hahaha...

Looking back now, it's really ridiculous.

He doesn't have a single person he can use. He's all alone, and he probably couldn't even beat a stray dog scavenging for food in the alley.

What can he use to coordinate an attack from within and without? What can he use to turn defeat into victory?

My eyelids are very heavy.

My head is spinning.

My body is very cold.

The rain not only woke him up, but also made him sick.

He deserved to die at Xuanwu Gate; at least it would have annoyed Xiao Zhaohuang, and at least it would have allowed him to die a glorious death, carrying the blood and spirit of the Xiao Household.

Instead of like it is now,

Like a drowned rat, a stray dog,

He barely survived under the torrential rain, leaving behind only a disheveled state.

I don't know how long we walked.

It is unknown how much time has passed.

Xiao Chengchen knelt down on the ground with a thud.

Extreme joy and sorrow, the ups and downs, had exhausted his energy and spirit; aimless walking in the rain had worn him out.

"Where did this beggar come from, daring to linger Eldest Princess's Residence? Don't you have a death wish? Get the hell out of here!"

Suddenly, a shout rang in my ears.

Upon hearing the sound, Xiao Chengchen slightly raised his head.

Looking at the grand gate and compound in front of me.

It looks slightly familiar.

He raised his head a little higher.

Then I saw the five glaring gilded characters: "[Princess Who Guards the Nation]".

Xiao Chengchen was stunned for a moment, then gave a wry smile.

After wandering all over the Capital, I never expected to end up at Xiao Zhaohuang's doorstep.

I felt like a caged bird or a fish in a pot, unable to escape my aunt's grasp.

That's fine.

It's better to die here.

She crashed her head into Xiao Zhaohuang's doorstep and died, leaving her with the infamy of patricide and nephew murder for eternity.

Perhaps this is the only thing I can do right now.

Just as Xiao Chengchen struggled to his feet, intending to find a good spot to smash his head against the ground and die,

He seemed to suddenly remember something, and stood there stunned again.

This is not only Xiao Zhaohuang's residence,

It is also the secluded retreat of Immortals.

He cannot die yet.

He had one last wish unfulfilled.

He wanted to see the Immortal again; he wanted to ask the Immortal a question in person.

Why choose Xiao Zhaohuang and not him?

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to die in peace.

Thinking of this, Xiao Chengchen wiped the rain off his face, straightened his clothes and hair, and then, with the majesty of an imperial nobleman, addressed the guards on duty at the door in a loud voice.

"I am Xiao Chengchen, the Imperial Eldest Grandson. I wish to see Immortal. Open the door immediately and let me in."

The guard on duty at the gate. "..."

A secluded courtyard deep within the State-Guarding Eldest Princess's Residence.

Gao Yunyi has already washed away his red name, is currently in seclusion Artifact Refining.

The tens of thousands of soldiers on Jade Spring Mountain,

The old emperor and several hundred imperial guards in the palace

After killing them all, the experience points he gained not only propelled him to level 28, but also filled his backpack with loot.

So after eliminating the overwhelming Sha Qi, Gao Yunyi couldn't wait to start making equipment, Alchemy, and Artifact Refining.

It was pouring rain outside, with thunder and lightning.

Extreme weather often produces the best things.

But just as he was taking stock of the equipment and materials in his backpack, preparing to unleash his full potential,

Suddenly, a series of noisy and chaotic sounds came from outside the courtyard.

Gao Yunyi frowned.

Ignored it.

Then the first piece of equipment broke.

Outside the courtyard,

"Get out of my way! How dare you block my path!"

"Her Eldest Princess has decreed that this is a forbidden area of the residence, and no one is allowed to approach."

"I am the Imperial Eldest Grandson of the Liang Kingdom."

"Even the Imperial Eldest Grandson is not acceptable."

"How dare you! Believe me or not, I'll chop you up!"

"Even if Your Highness wishes to cut off my head, I cannot comply."

"Alright, alright, everyone from your Eldest Princess's Residence is wonderful. I won't go in, okay? Let go, don't touch me."

Xiao Chengchen trembled with anger as he looked at the guards who had surrounded him tightly and were preventing him from getting close to the small courtyard.

But he also knew that if Xiao Zhaohuang returned to the manor, he would never have the chance to see the Immortal again.

So he stopped trying to force his way in, took a deep breath, and shouted loudly at the courtyard in the distance.

"The Imperial Eldest Grandson Xiao Chengchen, requests an audience with the Azure Profound Immortal Venerable."

The sound was very loud.

The echoes reverberated above the secluded and quiet courtyard.

Xiao Chengchen is not even afraid of death now, so why would he be afraid of disturbing the Immortal's peaceful cultivation?

He just wanted an answer.

An answer that would allow him to die in peace.

But he wasn't afraid.

The guards on duty nearby were nearly scared to death.

Finished,

The Imperial Eldest Grandson's shout cost them their lives and fortunes.

Ignoring the risk of offense and disrespect, the guards pounced on Xiao Chengchen, subduing him and covering his mouth to prevent him from making a sound.

But it was too late.

Countless streams of light suddenly appeared before everyone, then converged into a peerless, pale white figure.

The rain was torrential.

Yet not a single strand of the fairy's robes was touched.

It was as if the rain falling from the sky was deliberately avoiding the fairy's shadow.

Everyone stopped what they were doing, staring blankly at the celestial figure that had suddenly appeared out of nowhere, their bodies and souls seemingly frozen in place.

"You'd better give me a satisfactory explanation, or the consequences of my anger will be severe."

Gao Yunyi stood in the torrential rain.

Not a drop of rain touched him, he said in a cold tone.

"We have disturbed the Immortals ' tranquil cultivation; we deserve to die a thousand deaths."

The guards all knelt down, trembling, their faces filled with fear and despair.

In contrast, Xiao Chengchen was different.

He simply gazed at the Immortal's unparalleled beauty, without fear or trembling, his eyes filled only with admiration and worship.

"Imperial Eldest Grandson Xiao Chengchen greets Azure Profound Immortal Venerable. It has been many days since we last met; Your Immortal Venerable's demeanor remains as dignified as ever."

Gao Yunyi was very sensitive to such stares, so he turned his gaze to the pervert who was only wearing underwear.

Who are you? Have we met before?

Xiao Chengchen: "..."

It turns out that the Immortal had never taken him seriously from beginning to end, and didn't even bother to remember his name.

Xiao Chengchen wore a bitter smile, but still held onto a sliver of hope.

"Xiao Chengchen disturbed the Immortal in the dead of night, seeking only an answer: why is the Immortal unwilling to support me as emperor?"

Upon hearing the underwear pervert's words, Gao Yunyi simply looked at him as if he were an idiot.

Did you ask?
