Chapter 115: Dad, I Have Something to Tell You
“Ancestor, should we directly eliminate the entire Li Yao family?” The empire’s emperor asked the old man.
“Absolutely not. That esteemed one did not hunt down all, so you must not take matters into your own hands, lest you incur that esteemed one’s displeasure…” The old man quickly replied.
“Yes,” the emperor nodded.
“Go now; I need to heal,” the old man said to the emperor.
“Rest assured, Ancestor. I will have Uncle Cheng come to protect you!”
“Hmm! Go on.”
After the emperor left, he proceeded to a grand hall.
“Call Chief He Qingshan to see me,” the emperor instructed a eunuch.
A few minutes later, Chief He Qingshan arrived at the Imperial City.
“Chief He Qingshan pays respects to Your Majesty.” He Qingshan quickly bowed to the emperor.
Even though the emperor in front of him was merely a fourth-level magician, He Qingshan dared not show any disrespect.
“Chief He, tell me what happened. Why did the ancestor get injured?” The emperor asked He Qingshan.
“Your Majesty, it was like this…”
He Qingshan did not conceal anything and promptly recounted what he had witnessed.
“Chief He, did you see what that esteemed one looked like?” The emperor inquired.
Hearing this, He Qingshan nodded but soon shook his head.
“Hmm?”
“Your Majesty, I did indeed see what that esteemed one looked like, but I cannot recall it no matter how hard I try,” He Qingshan said, frowning.
“Gasp—”
Upon hearing He Qingshan’s words, the emperor gasped in shock.
Could this be the ability of an eighth-level holy magic tutor? To make those who see him unable to remember his appearance?
“Your Majesty, although I can’t remember what the holy magic tutor looked like, I can clearly remember what his apprentice looked like,” He Qingshan said to the emperor.
“Can you draw them?”
“Yes.”
An hour later, a vividly beautiful painting of a woman appeared before the emperor.
Upon seeing the woman in the painting, even the emperor couldn’t help but be captivated.
However, what attracted him was not the woman’s appearance; as an emperor, he had seen all kinds of beauties.
What drew him in was the woman’s aura.
He couldn’t quite describe it, but it was very special.
“Make multiple copies of this painting and send one to every noble family’s residence, and tell them all that if they encounter the woman in the painting, they must not offend her. Inform them that she is a student of a holy magic tutor.”
“Whoever offends the girl in the painting will not need that esteemed one to take action; the empire will take care of them first…”
In the Holy Capital City.
Count Li Yao was killed, and the empire had no way to handle the situation.
Furthermore, even a seventh-level great magic tutor was seriously injured by a single blow from the enemy.
Such a scenario caused a huge stir among the noble circles of the entire Holy Capital City.
In this context, a few days later, a eunuch from the palace delivered a painting to various families and officials’ residences.
Accompanying it was an imperial decree.
“How can our Human Race have a holy magic tutor?”
“Gasp—”
After seeing the decree, everyone gasped in shock.
Upon receiving the decree, all the families took this matter very seriously.
Many families even summoned their members overnight and warned everyone that upon seeing the woman in the painting, they must not offend or upset her in any way.
If such behavior occurred, the family would definitely expel the offender and execute him.
In the suburbs of Holy Capital City.
An impoverished baron’s mansion also received the emperor’s decree.
Upon seeing the imperial decree, the baron, who was in his fifties, immediately summoned all his family members for a meeting.
In a large room, it was filled with over fifty people.
These individuals, both male and female, young and old, were all family members of the baron.
“Everyone, look at this painting. The person in this painting is an apprentice of a holy magic tutor…”
“Take a good look. You must remember her clearly so that you can recognize her at first sight…”
“If you happen to encounter this person in the future, you must, under no circumstances, offend her. If you do so, the family will first kill you and then take your head to apologize to her…”
On stage, the baron sternly warned everyone.
He failed to notice that among the crowd, an 18-year-old girl was looking at the woman in the painting with disbelief.
“How is this possible?”
“How can it possibly be her?”
“She is Li Ziqi’s sister, Chen Zishan, no doubt about it. Chen Zishan often wears clothes like this…”
The girl was deeply shocked.
Li Ziqi was her classmate, and as a noble child, she had bullied Li Ziqi before, even though her group had never managed to defeat a single Li Ziqi.
Recently, she had seen Li Ziqi’s sister, Chen Zishan, come to school to pick her up many times.
Since she had a conflict with Li Ziqi, she paid special attention to her, remembering Chen Zishan’s appearance because she often came to pick up Li Ziqi.
If Li Ziqi’s sister was a student of a holy magic tutor, and if Li Ziqi asked her sister to seek revenge…
As she thought about this, fear spread across her face.
Her expression was noticed by the baron on stage.
He reassured everyone, saying, “As long as you do not offend the woman in the painting, you have nothing to fear.”
“I have received information that Count Li Yao was killed because he offended this woman, but she only killed Count Li Yao and did not harm the innocent. So as long as you do not offend her, she is quite kind.”
Upon hearing the baron’s words, the girl’s face grew even gloomier.
Though she had not offended the woman in the painting, she had offended the woman’s sister!
If the woman sought revenge in the future, she was doomed, and her family would suffer the consequences.
After Count Li Yao was killed, although Chen Zishan did not implicate his family, the empire’s emperor directly stripped the entire Count Li Yao family of their titles for treason against the empire.
Therefore, if Li Ziqi asked her sister to help her take revenge, it could very likely implicate their entire family.
If the emperor found out she had offended Chen Zishan’s sister, he would surely not spare their family.
Thinking about all this, the girl became increasingly afraid.
As soon as the family meeting ended, she immediately sought out her father, the baron.
“Dad, I have something to tell you…”
“What is it?”
“Dad, just listen to me first, please don’t hit me, okay?”
“Go ahead, it’s fine. You are my father’s favorite daughter. How could I ever hit you?”
