C135 He Was Forced to the Cliff
Get to the cliff.
"I can't just watch my third brother receive such punishment because of this. This isn't good." Long Xiaotian shook his head repeatedly.
One look and one could tell that this brat was guilty. The Empress was even more certain in her heart. "There's no need to say anymore. Just do as you said and pass it on to Zhang Huan!"
Zhang Huan hurriedly came to the hall. He originally thought that Long Xiaotian would definitely be unlucky, and he could also heave a sigh of relief in his heart. It was just that the situation was full of twists and turns, causing Zhang Huan to look at Long Xiaotian in a new light.
Now that he was asked to come up, Zhang Huan thought to himself. This brat was a shrewd man. If he wasn't absolutely confident, he wouldn't say such words. No matter what, he felt that it was a trap. Could it be that even the Empress was fooled?
Zhang Huan swallowed back the grievances he had suffered at Long Xiaotian's hands and respectfully greeted the Empress.
The Empress instructed him to bring the test jade plate over. Zhang Huan hurriedly did as instructed and took out the test jade plate.
"Fifth Prince, you take the test." The Empress's eyes were fixed on Long Xiaotian. She also suspected that Long Xiaotian might have some tricks up his sleeve. Before the official result was out, she really didn't dare to lower her guard.
Long Xiaotian smiled and said, "How should I take the test? I have never tried it before."
Long Yaotian rushed to say, "As long as you place your palm on the jade plate, it will be fine. No one can think of falsifying it!"
Long Xiaotian sighed and said, "Ai, Second Brother, what you did was wrong. I really can't bear to see you being punished. Since you insist, I can only obey. "
He hesitantly stretched out his hand. The Empress's heart suddenly skipped a beat. She saw that although Long Xiaotian's face was filled with a troubled expression, why did she feel like she was stepping into a pit?
Long Yaotian's eyes were also fixed on Long Xiaotian. He saw Long Xiaotian's palm gently placed on the jade plate, and he wanted to see what kind of changes would happen to the jade plate.
If one was able to cultivate, the jade plate would definitely emit all kinds of light according to the various attributes of the body.
Metal, wood, water, fire and lightning were dark. This was the known ten different attributes of the Saint Origin universe. Each of them had their own different light rays. As long as it was an existence below the Spirit Dao Realm, no one could conceal their cultivation, because in the Great Qian Dynasty, only the Spirit Dao Realm was the highest. Up until now, no one had been able to achieve the Profound Qi Realm.
Long Yaotian suddenly held his breath. His heart immediately sank because he discovered that there was no light at all on the jade plate. What was going on?
Perhaps there was still some time. He would wait and see! Although he reminded himself this way, Long Yaotian already understood that this possibility was very slim.
"Ai, I can't cultivate is my weakness. You know how painful it is to let me test my heart," Long Xiaotian said with tears streaming down his face. "But why do you always have people who want me to do things that I don't want to do? It hurts."
It almost made the Empress's nose crooked from anger. Didn't this brat take advantage of me and still make a fuss? You clearly took advantage of me, yet you are still making sarcastic remarks.
I can only punish Yaotian now, what should I do?
"No, this is impossible. You will definitely be able to cultivate. It is impossible for you not to. I am certain!" Long Yaotian jumped up as if he had been stabbed by a needle. His face was filled with shock as he shouted.
Long Xiaotian said innocently, "Mo, what do you want to do? I can do whatever you want."
It was as if he was innocent! Long Yaotian really wanted to rush over and tear this kid apart, but he still endured it. He pointed at the testing jade plate and said, "This is definitely broken, or else it wouldn't be impossible to determine it."
Even the Empress's face revealed a disapproving expression, but it was best for her son not to be punished. It would be best if Long Xiaotian could cultivate. Even if her son was unreasonable, she would still support her son.
"Yaotian, what are you going to do?" She calculated in her heart. As long as her son could stall for time, she would send her son out to hide from the limelight. At that time, if Long Xiaotian couldn't find him, there was nothing she could do.
"Let me give it a try. If this jade plate can detect my cultivation realm... That means that you really don't have a realm." Long Yaotian's words made the Empress completely despair, even if her son said to find another jade plate for testing. She could also use the excuse that the palace didn't have one, then she would have to go to the Long Zong to buy it. Once she came, she would be gone for a long time.
Who would have thought that his son would choose a method that greatly disappointed him? How could this jade plate be so easily damaged? It was clearly his son who made a mistake. Now that his son tested it, it was perfectly fine. Then what should he do?
But since Long Yaotian had already said it, the Empress had no choice but to agree.
Long Xiaotian couldn't help but feel proud in his heart, "Hmph, you're as evil as a ghost, yet you want to drink my feet washing water. Now, let the two of you know how powerful this prince is! No matter how smart you are, you wouldn't know that my cultivation base was given by the system. My body is just an ordinary body. I don't have any attributes!"
Just as Long Yaotian placed his hand on the jade plate, three rays of light shot up into the sky. The three attributes of wind, fire, and lightning were something that Long Yaotian should be proud of. But now, his face was ashen.
He was looking at Long Xiaotian in a daze. He couldn't understand how all of this had happened.
The one who was most troubled was the Empress. Could it be that she really wanted her own son to be punished? This would really destroy the foundation of his son's cultivation, and he would really become a cripple?
But in front of Long Xiaotian, as the Sixth Palace Master, how could she not keep her word? She gritted her teeth and said, "Come, Zhang Huan, bring Yao Tian out to receive punishment!"
Zhang Huan couldn't help but be stunned. His eyes were filled with fear as he looked at Long Xiaotian. He was a shrewd person, and knew that the Empress wasn't a simple character.
However, Long Xiaotian was able to make the Empress suffer in silence. It could be seen that this Fifth Prince was a person that couldn't be offended. I have never seen the Empress suffer such a loss before.
Long Yaotian exclaimed, "Mother, please spare my life! Fifth Brother, please spare my life! I won't dare to do it again in the future!"
What's the use of sparing my life? Who asked you to do something unnecessary? This matter is no longer in my hands, and in Long Xiaotian's hands, only he can plead for mercy.
Although I'm the Sixth Palace Master, I can't say anything that I don't believe. Otherwise, if the rumors were to spread, there would definitely be people who would say that I am protecting my own son. Suppressing the Fifth Prince, this would cause a lot of criticism to me. And the position that I obtained so easily would also be lost.
Although the Empress didn't say anything, her gaze towards Long Xiaotian was filled with hatred.
"Wait!" Long Xiaotian suddenly shouted and stopped Zhang Huan.
Zhang Huan was stunned, but the Empress was filled with hope.
