(Part 5)
"Hello, my little princess how are you?" teased Fenghuang, gently rubbing her forehead. "I am alright. Thank you." she responded while Fa ling bowed slightly. "We were calling you before however, you didn't seem to hear us. So I wondered if you were bothered by something. Is something the matter?" Feixing questioned with his usual caring smile. Xianwu shook her head in rejection. "No its nothing. It's just that I was a little surprised when you called me like that." She told. "Oh, you mean crown princess Yue?" questioned Fenghuang. Xianwu nodded.
Most likely she was just afraid that she might mistake herself with someone else again. Fenghuang smiled, "We called you like that since we are heading for the Heavenly meeting. Calling each other informally here will be considered discourteous in the eyes of the other Heavenly Supremes." "Ah… right. It's already considered rude when someone forgets anyone else's name." Xianwu thought while remembering. Looking at the two of them, Xianwu found Shentong to be missing from the group. Slightly curious she questioned, "Brother Feixing, where is brother Shentong?"
Hearing his name, Feixing insanely twitched. His expression turning into a frustrated one as he turned around pretending not to even listen. Xianwu instantly understood eyeing Fenghuang who stared back at her with the same expression as hers. "I better not ask…" she thought sighing. "Come on, let's stop wasting our time in talking. We better make haste towards the Heavenly palace." Feixing told while walking forward. Xianwu and Fenghuang soon followed.
Reaching a top the Heavenly Palace. The long golden gates were wide open. Many Heavenly Supremes marched inside one after another. Some on their weapons and others on extravagant heavenly creatures. Xianwu stared at the sight. "It's been long, since I've seen a heavenly meeting take place…" She thought. "Seems pretty crowded hun?" Fenghuang asked. Xianwu nodded, "This time around, every important person from around the Heavenly palace is present here. Even the kings, queens, princes and princesses of the ascended kingdoms are present here and many are yet to arrive." Feixing told. Xianwu gazed in wonder, "Did something that serious happened?" she thought.
Clatters and talks of Supremes echoed throughout the palace hall. One Palace Supremes meeting the others and the others meeting the ascended kingdoms kings and Queens along with their descendants. Overall the sight felt grand, as if a large banquet was held. Feixing and Fenghuang eyeing their respective Palaces Heavenly Generals made their way towards them while Xianwu who had no connection to any other heavenly palace, walked towards the throne centered in the middle of the Palace hall. Emperor Zhijun, who rested over it, gazed at the sight of the Heavenly Supremes gathering before him.
Xianwu went closer. Grasping her sight, Zhijun eyed her. Standing in front of the Heavenly throne Xianwu clasped her both fingers of hands together, bowing low before him. "Greetings, your Majesty, the Emperor…" She greeted. Upon hearing her greeting the sight befell silent. All eyes gazed at her as if something unexpected had occurred. The once chatter filled noises and talks dispersed as if blown away with a light blow. Feeling a little out of place and nervous Xianwu bowed, standing still. Eyeing her gently, with his arm under his chin, Zhijun spoke, "Stand up, Xianwu… no need to bow." It was as if this would always be the first sentence he would tell her every time they meet.
Xianwu stood straight nodding at once, glancing at the audience surrounding her. Zhijun spoke, "You are finally here…" Xianwu looked at him perplexed. "Was I really that expected?!" she thought nervously. Xianwu nodded, "Yes… Yue Xianwu stands right before your presence." She responded. Zhijun nodded, "Xianwu, you already know why I summoned you here so let's get directly onto the topic." Xianwu nodded, "I had assumed that the matters of the silent city and heavenly supreme Mo Xingchen had already been taken care of…" Instantly, a hoarse voice barged in between Xianwu's sentence. "You're right, even I can't believe that it could be that hard to take care of this matter, and was slightly confused on how I should proceed on handling it…" it exclaimed.
Xianwu looked behind, to find a heavily armored, man making his way towards the throne. His eyes dark purple with long black hairs combed into a ponytail, neatly hanging behind his back. A tattooed red mark crossing over his forehead towards his right ear with his red mantle fluttering along with every step he took forward. A heavy battle aura surrounded him. Overall, with his appearance looking alluring yet alarming at the same time. "Crown Princess Yue, of the chosen Moon Blade. It's an honor to meet you at last." He ended while eyeing her. Xianwu stood silent. Just a single gaze from him, had already said a lot. The person in front of her was Zhou Gonghe. "Just like the rumors had said…" Xianwu thought.
Soon walking towards the throne he taunted "Looks like our Little Mo Xingchen had been under your great care all this time." Halting before Zhijun he lifted his arms bowing, "Greetings Heavenly Emperor." Xianwu stared at him blinking her eyes, "Looks like this time I certainly offended him!!" she thought repenting. "My Lord, Mo Xingchen of my Palace has definitely caused a lot of trouble all this time regarding the case of the Silent city. And, he is in fact punished since then in the interrogation hills. A few days ago I visited Little Xingchen and asked him about what happened in detail at the silent city that time. Everything was against him as expected however, there was something strange which caught my attention amid his confession." Gonghe told.
