Young Master in Flower City

Chapter 1127 1128: The Medicine Valley Disaster

After speaking, Xiao Jiu remained silent; with Xiao Tianyu's intelligence, he could naturally understand Xiao Jiu's words.

Xiao Tianyu snorted coldly, "I'm not interested in this. In the future, don't talk about it anymore!"

"Boss, I'm only looking out for you!" Xiao Jiu, reborn as the Divine Emperor, naturally had insights beyond ordinary people.

He continued, "Boss, your cultivation now surpasses the Five Emperors, and this Celestial Emperor, as I've observed, has enormous ambition. I'm afraid he has ulterior motives towards you!"

"Finished talking?" Xiao Tianyu said lightly.

"Finished!"

"Get out!"

"..." Xiao Jiu was speechless, wondering why Boss wouldn't listen to advice.

Then Xiao Tianyu continued, "In the future, if your cultivation is restored, will you also need to get rid of me?"

Bam!

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jiu was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground.

Xiao Tianyu gave Xiao Jiu a sidelong glance and didn't say more.

Of course, Xiao Jiu's words made sense, and Xiao Tianyu wasn't a fool, just indifferent to it all.

With his cultivation as it is today, how could he care?

Along the way, a strand of inexplicable fear arose in the Celestial Emperor's heart, wanting to know what Xiao Jiu had said to Xiao Tianyu earlier, and convinced that it was something against him given Xiao Jiu's secretive manner.

However, as the Great Emperor governing a vast realm, his mindset was extraordinary, so even with fear in his heart, his expression remained indifferent.

He wouldn't foolishly ask Xiao Tianyu, knowing clearly that asking would confirm his own guilt.

"Don't you want to know what Xiao Jiu just said to me?" Xiao Tianyu spoke first, causing the Celestial Emperor to pause, then waved his hand with a smile, responding, "This is a secret between brothers; I think it's unnecessary for me to know!"

Yet Xiao Tianyu directly spoke, "Xiao Jiu told me a mountain cannot contain two tigers!"

"What does that mean?" The Celestial Emperor's heart trembled, and his face showed slight waves. He said, "Does Xiao Jiu think I would deal with you?"

"Exactly!"

"How could that be possible? You saved my life, and moreover, with your talent, you will surely surpass me in the future. I'm too pleased for you to do anything against you!" The Celestial Emperor suppressed the fear in his heart and replied.

But in his heart, he already wished a thousand cuts upon Xiao Jiu, and after dealing with Xiao Tianyu, wouldn't let Xiao Jiu off.

"I'm happy that Big Brother thinks that way!"

Xiao Tianyu responded with a smile, saying no more, but the more Xiao Tianyu was silent, the less the Celestial Emperor's mind was at peace, knowing clearly that if his schemes were truly exposed by Xiao Tianyu, with Xiao Tianyu's character, he would not spare him.

Moreover, Xiao Tianyu's recent words seemed to carry another meaning beyond the literal.

"Big Brother, what are you waiting for, let's go!" Xiao Tianyu stopped and swept his deep eyes across the Celestial Emperor.

Soon, the two entered the Imperial City together.

Today's Imperial City was frighteningly quiet, with gusts of breeze sweeping maple leaves across the ground, creating a sense of hidden danger everywhere, but Xiao Tianyu paid no mind.

While chatting leisurely, Xiao Tianyu spoke, "Today's Imperial City seems different from usual; has Big Brother withdrawn some guards because I haven't been here for six months?"

"Not at all!"

Walking side by side with Xiao Tianyu, the Celestial Emperor smiled and replied, "We haven't seen each other for half a year, now that we're meeting again, how could I allow others to dampen your spirits, besides, with my accomplishments, whether the Imperial City has guards is immaterial, and wouldn't it make it seem more approachable this way?"

"Makes sense!" Xiao Tianyu nodded, and shortly a pavilion at the center of the lake came into view.

The pavilion surrounded by water, a pathway of white jade leads directly to it, the lake edged by willows, their branches dangling over the calm lake, casting reflections of considerable charm.

As the wind blew, slight ripples formed on the lake, and a few maple leaves landed in the water, drifting with the breeze.

Whoosh~

After taking a deep breath, Xiao Tianyu said lightly, "Truly a beautiful place, makes me feel part of it!"

"Does my brother like it here?"

"I like the tranquility here!"

"Then how about I give it to you!"

"Does that mean I'd have to move into the deep palace to live? I'm not used to that!" Xiao Tianyu waved his hand, accustomed to a free lifestyle, how could he be confined to such a place, even if the scenery was pleasant, to him it was better to be carefree across the land, living more freely.

"Haha~ My brother's nature is beyond mine. To be honest, I envy your lifestyle; unfortunately, I'm entangled with worldly affairs and probably confined here for life!" The Celestial Emperor laughed heartily, somewhat carefree.

He continued, "Brother, please!"

Xiao Tianyu lifted his steps, along the jade pathway, reaching the lake pavilion; inside, on a stone table was a laid-out feast, with two palace maids dressed in white each holding a white jade wine jug.

The Celestial Emperor glanced at a middle-aged man behind him, who understood and stopped, standing guard by the pavilion.

The Celestial Emperor said, "Brother, sit!"

"Then I won't stand on ceremony!" Xiao Tianyu laughed heartily and sat down directly, the Celestial Emperor glanced at the palace maid behind Xiao Tianyu, who immediately served him a full cup from the jade pitcher.

The fragrance of wine wafted, Xiao Tianyu held the jade goblet and said to the Celestial Emperor, "Cold Heaven Jade Dew aged for a thousand years!"

"My brother can identify the wine by its aroma, impressive!" The Celestial Emperor smiled at Xiao Tianyu, who suddenly showed a cold expression and continued, "Judging by the aroma, it seems the wine contains other substances—it's a pity to waste such a fine, thousand-year-old wine!"

These words caused the Celestial Emperor's heart to tremble.

Xiao Tianyu's face instantly regained a smile as warm as spring sunshine, continuing, "No need for alarm, Big Brother; I'm not particular about wine. Even if it contains other substances, it's still an excellent Cold Heaven Jade Dew. Honestly, I'm not that interested in wine; good or bad, it's all the same to me!"

"Cheers, Big Brother!" Xiao Tianyu lifted the jade goblet and drank it in one go, the Celestial Emperor smiled and said, "My brother is so straightforward, I, as an elder brother, have no reason not to join you wholeheartedly!"

Speaking thus, the Celestial Emperor likewise lifted his goblet and drank it all at once.

...

Medicine Valley.

At this moment, the Medicine Saint stepped outside, gazing across the vastness of Medicine Valley, showing a look of helplessness; were it not for a mishap, how could he bear to leave?

He had managed this place for a thousand years; those rare herbs were all products of his lifetime of research.

"Master, why do you look worried?" Asked the Medicine Boy standing behind, and the Medicine Saint turned his gaze upon him, saying, "Yuan'Er, quickly pack up, we're preparing to relocate!"
