Chapter 141: Chapter 139: The Empress Contemplation

Watching Wutong leave the hall, the Empress put down the document in her hand.

After receiving the answers that come out from her trusted aide, she felt even more confused.

Mainly, when Wutong was telling her about the several possibilities that could make someone act contradictory, she inexplicably emphasized one of them, which is love, and said that when someone fall in love, it’s common for them to act differently from how they are before, especially in front of the people they have fallen for.

Normally, as the Immortal Nation Empress, she would just roll her eyes at Wutong’s answer and begin to suspect whether her trusted aide was once again concerned about her marital matters.

But in the current situation, she couldn’t help but remember the scene where the Demon Sect Holy Saint confessed to her, their marriage, and the moment where they are about to consummate their marriage.

The bracelet made of a beautiful jade known as “Star-Moon Jade” also occasionally flashed in her mind.

If that Demon Sect Holy Saint were to confess to her in reality, would he also create a bracelet of the same design with that unique jade and give it to her?

Such thoughts inexplicably crossed her mind.

People under the influence of the illusion of love may expose their true thoughts hidden deep within, even in their dreams.

In other words, although the young man later claimed that everything in the dream was happening due to excessive suggestions made by his master, deep down, he must have had such thoughts.

In which case, did he really come into the Immortal Nation with the intention of marrying the so-called “Empress’s sister”?

The Immortal Nation Empress fell into contemplation.

According to what Wutong had just said, love is one of the most likely reasons for why someone would do a lot of actions contradictory to the one they made prior.

The Empress began to recall the event that happened at the time when the Demon Artifact Pavilion opened up once more.

’Did he begin to think that my Mortal Alter Ego is the sister of my Imperial Alter Ego from all the way back then?’

A sudden thought flashed in her mind, causing her beautiful eyes to widen slightly.

She finally realized something.

When the night of the Demon Artifact Pavilion reopening happen, she gave Human Emperor Sword Sheath to her Mortal Alter Ego, just so she can dealt with the Netherkin more easily, this may not have meant much to others, but in the eyes of the Demon Sect Holy Saint who had been looking for the so-called “Empress’s sister” from the beginning, perhaps this fact is something that made him start to suspect that her Mortal Alter Ego was her sister?

As for what came next… perhaps, after their interaction, the Demon Sect Holy Saint really thought that the plan to marry Kirin, who he suspected as the Empress’s sister, was a feasible option, and that’s why he decided to help the Immortal Nation? To improve his standing in the eyes of his “sister in law”?

The Empress was startled by her absurd thoughts.

Although this theory had many loopholes, it’s still quite logical, which in turn made her heart race just by thinking about it.

She was the Empress of the Immortal Nation, the youngest Nascent Soul cultivator of this generation known so far. She’s capable of doing what ordinary people could not, but ultimately, she was still just a girl.

The so-called cunningness and cold calculating personality that many people associate with her were something that were forced upon her after obtaining this throne.

If it was really as she had just thought, that Luo Wusheng did everything that he had done since coming to the Royal City to gain the affection of her ’Sister’, what should she do?

She knew very well that she never had a younger sister!

Due to the [Empyreal Qi Synthesis] that she used, the one that allows her to separate her body into three separate entities with the same mind, if the Demon Sect Holy saint were pursuing one of her Alter Ego, it’s no different than pursuing all three of her Alter Ego!

Thinking of this, she couldn’t help but curse the Demon Sect Sect Master who fabricated her nonexistent sister and even told his disciple to marry her.

How could there be such a teacher?

He was truly unworthy of such a title!

The more she scolded in her heart, the more confused her heart became, and the scenes of the brightly lit courtyard as her Mortal Alter Ego and the Holy Saint married, and the scene where they are about to have their first night, kept replaying in her mind.

In the world, there is a saying.

[Misfortunes never come alone]

At this moment, the memories of her Mortal Alter Ego synchronized with the other two Alter Ego.

In the synchronized memories, a certain member of the Six Gate Bureau, Night Crow, who wore a feathered mask, showed some pages to her Mortal Alter Ego with a somewhat playful tone.

On those pages were speculations about the relationship between the Demon Sect Holy Saint and herself, the Empress of the Immortal Nation.

As for the more specific content of his speculation…

“Ridiculous! How could I do that kind of thing to him! I’m not some random street whore!”

She, as the Empress, hadn’t even had a formal face-to-face conversation with that Head of the Demon Artifact Pavilion! How could she do that shameless advance!

She angrily slammed the document in her hand onto the table.

The exquisite young girl’s face blushed slightly, and her chest heaved with each breath.

Naturally, she couldn’t quarrel with her own people, but this kind of paper, though absurd in its content, was often spread among the people. After all, she and that Demon Sect Holy Saint had been too conspicuous in the northern part of the Royal City last night, and it was understandable that the people would fantasize about the two of them.

Some of the content on the pages even made reasonable speculations based on the common people’s perspectives, and even a few reasons why the Demon Sect Holy Saint helped her, replacing her with her supposed sister, were not much different from the answers she had come up with earlier because of Wutong’s words.

But…

“Night Crow, just you wait.”

“I may be unable to deal with the common masses, but as your superior, you think I can’t deal with you?”

…

The moment Wutong emerged from the depths of the Imperial Palace, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Facing the questions of her Empress, she eventually gave an answer that satisfied herself.

“I wonder if I can make Her Majesty slightly change her perspective on matters of her marital status…” Wutong muttered to herself.

Honestly, she originally thought that while Her Majesty could find a suitable husband, though she didn’t continuously nag the Empress about it like those ministers in the court.

After all, she also thought highly of her Empress, and finding a man with enough qualifications for the Empress was indeed challenging.

But after the Demon Sect Holy Saint and witnessing what he had done these days, she understood.

Was there anyone more suitable for her Empress than this Demon Sect Holy Saint?!

As for the rumors that she got regarding himself? All nonsense! Not one of them is true!

In the rumors that she heard, it’s said that the Demon Sect Holy Saint is an emotionless person who only cared about cultivation and precious stones, the rumors and the real one were completely different people!

Tha man has an unparalleled talent, extraordinary temperament, deep thoughts, and far-reaching plans.

Even her Empress, at that age, would not be a match for that Demon Sect Holy Saint!

Moreover, although the Head of the Demon Artifact Pavilion was calculating, he showed no arrogance or superiority to those around him, and his thoughts were delicate.

Like on the day of the Pavilion opening ceremony, he faced the Blood Mist Netherkin with some techniques that allow him to fight against the Nascent Soul, rather than feeling panicking when facing the Netherkin, he remained calm, not rushing to take action. Instead, he moved his Junior Sister and that other woman to a safe place, preventing the battle from affecting them.

Combined with her careful observations and the information provided by Night Crow, with whom she had made contact earlier on.

Wutong’s mind inexplicably came up with this thought: Besides him, was there any man in this generation of geniuses who was qualified to stand by the Empress’s side?

Unfortunately, Her Majesty seemed to be particularly concerned about their age gap.

But it didn’t matter. Her Majesty’s misconceptions would be corrected by those who served her!

Wutong’s steps slowed slightly as she looked at a figure coming towards her.

“…Are you also going to see Her Majesty? Have you found any clues about the suspicious people?”

Looking at the newcomer, Wutong asked in a low voice.

The figure was Night Crow, wearing a feathered mask.

“Yes, I have organized a batch of suspicious individuals and am about to present them to Her Majesty.”

Night Crow, in a hurry, did not stop his steps.

He had an extremely uneasy feeling as he approached the depths of the Imperial Palace.

’If he didn’t inform Her Majesty of this information as soon as possible, some of these potential culprits might bring some unexpected changes…’

Thinking like this, after exchanging a glance with Wutong, the two of them passed by each other.

Everything that needed to be said was understood without any exchange in words.
