Chapter 929: Chapter 739: Run! The Lord Is Coming!
When Gu Taitian heard this, it turned to a different meaning.
Don’t you know the temperament of your own daughter? For whom are you putting on this difficult-to-sustain anger?
Gu Taitian caught the meaning behind Little Monk Bu Jie’s words, immediately turning his head, his face barely concealing his anger, to look at the little monk sitting at the front of the carriage. Under the sunlight, Little Monk Bu Jie’s shiny little bald head blinked especially brightly.
With no awareness of fanning the flames, Little Monk Bu Jie just let him look, feeling quite at ease and very innocent.
Yet, in those eyes that seemed to see through all the worldly affairs, there was an inexplicable hint of provocation.
Yes, it was provocation!
He is a little monk! A monk! Why must he be dragged into digging up ancestral graves? And as for chanting the Soul-Calming Scriptures, why must it be him? In Liuzhou City, he was forced by this person to chant the Soul-Calming Scriptures for seven days and seven nights, not allowed to take a nap, not even allowed to drink a sip of water!
This is mistreatment of monks! Mistreatment of juveniles! Endurable this is not, even for a monk!
Regarding his own daughter, although knowing Little Monk Bu Jie was fanning the flames, Gu Taitian still couldn’t hold back, getting even angrier!
The Heavenly Palace Traveling Palace was located in a bustling area, with people coming and going, making it particularly lively. Many people pointed with admiration at the grand palace gate of the Heavenly Palace and the white jade nameplate.
Just as the passersby were respectfully walking past the Heavenly Palace Gate, a thunderous shout suddenly erupted on the otherwise quiet and harmonious front of the Heavenly Palace Gate.
"Have Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu come out to greet me!"
With just that shout, chaos erupted in front of the Heavenly Palace!
Oh my God, what did they just hear? Asking Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu to come out to greet him?
The passersby immediately stopped in their tracks, shocked, anxiously searching for the source of the voice!
It was terrifying!
Someone was this recklessly audacious at the Heavenly Palace Gate!
Who was Gu Changsheng? That was someone even commoners would pay respects to as the Emperor of the Southern Country! And Zhou Mu? That was the Crown Prince of Great Zhou, the undefeated legend, divinely gifted in martial arts!
This person dared to call them by name right in front of the Heavenly Palace Gate!
Isn’t this courting death?
Finally, the surrounding civilians found the person suspected to have uttered the life-courting words. It was a carriage parked right in front of the Heavenly Palace Gate. The horse was a fine specimen; even those who know little of horses could tell at a glance it was a rare steed. The carriage was a quality vehicle, with sandalwood shafts, understated yet luxurious...
However, in a city frequented by wealthy families like the capital, it wasn’t so startling. What was startling was the person’s death-courting act!
No doubt, the death-courting words were definitely spoken by this person, because while everyone else was searching all around for who had spoken, this person alone wasn’t looking elsewhere, focused with undisguised anger, almost as if he wanted to stare a hole through the grand gate of the Heavenly Palace!
"Who is this person?"
"No idea, but this person is courting death, being disrespectful right in front of the Heavenly Palace Gate to the Southern Emperor and the Crown Prince!"
"Such audacity! Demanding the Southern Emperor and the Crown Prince to welcome him. Why doesn’t he just claim the Emperor should come out to greet him too? That’d be a little more plausible!"
Emperor Zhoulin got unwittingly dragged into this.
Just as chaos ensued in front of the Heavenly Palace Gate, the lead officer among the defending soldiers suddenly shouted loudly.
"Oh no! That person is the Southern Emperor’s biological father, our lord’s father-in-law!"
This outburst came from the officer inspecting Gu Taitian’s pass permit.
"Brother, what nonsense are you talking?" Another person asked, incredulous.
"That person... the one carrying a coffin into the city! Called... called Gu Taitian! Lady Changsheng from the Southern Emperor’s line is surnamed Gu! Haven’t the Southern Country’s ceremonial emissaries been saying for days that the person they are welcoming is the Master Taitian of the Southern Country?" The leading officer jumped up, slapping his head, "Finished! Finished! This is all over! The elder came into the city lightly, and I didn’t recognize him. It’s all over! Quick, go send word to Lady Changsheng and our lord!"
"Why send a message?"
"You blockhead! I’ll go myself! I hope to be in time!" The leading officer slapped his thigh and dashed towards the Heavenly Palace.
If he doesn’t arrive, the wedding can’t proceed since the name on the invitation card just happens to be Gu Taitian, and he’s carrying the command token of his army. Other than being Lady Changsheng’s father, who else could it be? No second thought needed! How could I have overlooked this! This is simply unforgivable!
The leading officer realized this and ran even faster!
But the scene at the Heavenly Palace Gate had already turned into a pot of chaos, with countless onlookers pointing at the carriage parked directly at the entrance of the Heavenly Palace.
