After everyone finished their greetings.
Jiang Yuechu finally voiced the doubt in her heart: "What's the situation in Chang'an right now?"
Being able to suppress them was one thing... but there had to be a reason for it.
For so many years in the Great Tang, news of outside Cultivators had been rare.
How could Chang'an be crawling with them in the blink of an eye?
"Uh..."
Hearing this, the Emperor's body stiffened slightly, and he hesitated for a moment as if struggling with something.
Seeing this, the High Ancestor behind him sighed inwardly and stepped forward.
He glanced at the Emperor and said in a low voice, "I know you're worried about your sister."
"But now, in both reason and sentiment, we should no longer hide anything from her."
Hearing this.
The Emperor's lips twitched, revealing a hint of bitterness.
It was true.
He couldn't help much anyway, so why was he still thinking of hiding things from Lonely Moon?
Even if he was worried that the burden on her was too heavy.
But what was the reality?
Within the Great Tang, no one but Lonely Moon had a way to resolve this matter.
At this thought.
The Emperor took a deep breath and finally spoke slowly, "Lonely Moon, this matter... is a long story."
Jiang Yuechu remained expressionless and said calmly, "Then keep it short."
"Yes..."
The Emperor looked helpless; he truly had no temper in front of his sister. "Ever since you left the Capital, many new faces have flooded into Chang'an."
"I sent people to investigate their origins and purposes, but they were all very secretive, only saying they would stay here for a while."
"I only know they claim to be from outside the Great Tang... and they act overbearingly, not respecting us at all."
At this point, the Emperor looked ashamed.
It was only because of Jiang Yuechu.
Otherwise, no one would truly listen to the Great Tang in front of these outsiders... "Until today, when three Tower-Ascending Martial Immortalss of unknown origin suddenly broke into the Imperial City, demanding to see you by name. When they saw you weren't here, they tried to forcibly take the High Ancestor and me away... If not for Immortal Master Thirteen Wu arriving just in time..."
At this point, the Emperor's gaze fell on Thirteen Wu.
Seeing the young girl also looking at him.
Thirteen Wu cursed inwardly.
In front of these people, he might still be able to be vague.
Giving a general idea would be considered honoring old ties.
But facing this girl.
Instantly killing three Tower-Ascending Martial Immortalss just now was enough to show that the girl had grown to a terrifying level.
Even he felt a bit of pressure facing this girl.
If this girl really pressed for answers, should he speak or not... Seeing that Thirteen Wu had no intention of speaking, the Emperor continued, "Later, Immortal Master Thirteen Wu told us that within the Great Tang, there is something coveted by a Dao Lineage. As for what exactly it is..."
He did not continue.
But the meaning was clear.
They didn't know either.
Currently, only Thirteen Wu truly knew the specifics.
But what was their status... how could they be qualified to question such an Immortal-like figure?
But that didn't mean no one could ask.
The Emperor's heart stirred slightly.
Although digging a hole for the old Daoist like this right in front of him felt a bit unfair.
Especially since the other party had just saved them.
But she was his sister, after all.
His sister wanted to know.
As a brother, even if he didn't know, he should lay out the path before her.
With this in mind.
The Emperor's gaze began to wander.
He unnaturally gave Jiang Yuechu a meaningful look.
"..."
Jiang Yuechu frowned slightly.
She naturally understood her brother's meaning.
But setting aside the fact that Thirteen Wu and Wang Ziyu had indeed helped her and the Great Tang a lot.
Secondly.
What the truth actually was.
To her, it wasn't actually that important.
She only knew one thing.
Since they had come and dared to reach out their hands into the Great Tang's territory, they had to be prepared to have their claws chopped off.
She shook her head. "I understand... You guys keep talking, I have some things to do."
Having said that.
She turned and stroded toward the outside of the Imperial City.
Everyone was stunned, not understanding what was happening.
The Grand Princess had just returned to the Capital... and she was leaving again?
Wang Ziyu's expression changed drastically.
He had been with this girl for quite some time and had already figured out her temperament.
He trotted all the way to block Jiang Yuechu and lowered his voice.
"Are you crazy? Are you planning to go and fight them right now?"
Jiang Yuechu looked down helplessly at the figure before her.
Tsk... why did it feel like this old fellow was getting more and more meddlesome?
Seeing her silence, Wang Ziyu grew even more anxious. "Now that you're back, as long as you sit here in the Imperial City, with your current strength, they will eventually weigh the pros and cons and might even choose to withdraw on their own."
"Why go as far as to have a falling out right now?"
Jiang Yuechu silently walked around him, her pace never faltering.
Her calm voice rang in his ears.
"They always feel that the Great Tang is still something they can bargain with."
"Reasoning is something they'll only listen to after they've been beaten into submission."
Wang Ziyu stood rooted to the spot.
Watching the figure in black robes gradually recede.
Helplessness welled up in his heart.
This girl... does she only know how to kill and fight?
Does she not understand worldly wisdom at all?
After a long while.
He finally snapped out of it.
He suddenly turned his head to look at the dark-faced Man still dazed in the distance.
His anger flared up.
He stepped forward and kicked the Man's shin.
"What are you still standing there for? Do you really think you're here to be a door god for Chang'an? Follow her!"
"Moo?"
Running Ox's body tilted from the kick.
His large, bell-like eyes blinked blankly.
Then.
His brain finally caught up.
Oh!
The Jinx is going to pick a fight again!
Without further ado, he immediately followed the boy and chased after her.
Old Scarlet Flood Dragon also sensed something was wrong.
His heart skipped a beat, and he felt a chill.
Oh no!
What is the biggest taboo for a dog?
It's not the master hitting or scolding you.
That means they still care.
What's most feared...
...is being forgotten by the master!
Last time this Great Aunt left the Capital, she thought he was too weak and a burden, so she left him all alone in Chang'an.
Now that he had finally waited for her return.
If he were left behind again... where would there be a place for Old Scarlet Flood Dragon by the Jinx's side in the future?
At this thought.
Old Scarlet Flood Dragon didn't dare stay any longer.
He hurried to the young Emperor's ear and whispered a few words at a rapid pace.
Then he suddenly hitched up the hem of his cumbersome robe and moved his legs as fast as he could.
While sprinting, he shouted at the top of his lungs in a shrill voice.
"Wait for this Old Servant! Don't leave this Old Servant behind!"
