"What's wrong with that? You're the Imperial Son of my Golden Bell Ancient Clan, and your status is no lower than Yan Xuanqing's. Not only that, but with your current cultivation, you have every chance of becoming an Immortal Emperor. How could you not marry her?"
Immortal Emperor Ming Zhong looked at Jin Xu and gave a mocking laugh. "If anything, she's the one marrying above her station."
"This... What Father said seems to make sense..." A smile appeared on Jin Xu's face.
"Heh, do you think I don't know you, boy? As the Imperial Son of my Golden Bell Ancient Clan, why are you acting so coy? What kind of look is that?" Immortal Emperor Ming Zhong said with a laugh.
"As the saying goes, no one knows a son better than his father." Jin Xu smiled.
"What about Yan Xuanqing?" Immortal Emperor Ming Zhong asked.
"She's here." Jin Xu spread his palm, and a golden bell appeared upon it.
"If you force me, I will resist to the death. Also, the Imperial Artifact on me was given to me by the gentleman who once stood on equal footing with Immortal Emperor Wugou!"
Yan Xuanqing's voice came from inside the golden bell.
"What is Immortal Emperor Wugou supposed to be?"
Immortal Emperor Ming Zhong chuckled. As a Ninth-Rank Immortal Emperor himself, he was not necessarily afraid of Immortal Emperor Wugou. That man was merely more active and had a greater reputation. If he truly possessed such strength, he would not have been pushed beyond the Ten Great Immortal Emperors by now.
Trapped inside the golden bell, Yan Xuanqing fell silent.
She did not mention that she possessed a Jade Talisman capable of locating her and Li Zhōujūn relative to each other. After all, it was her only remaining lifeline.
