Got It? The Phrase 'Okay' Kept Hanging on His Lips

The appearance of this black-robed figure caused everyone in the great hall to hold their breath.

They noticed that the robe he wore bore an extremely domineering pattern.

A red pavilion.

It was the Heavenly Lord Pavilion!

Seeing this black-robed man with an extraordinarily powerful aura of cultivation.

Liu Zhengtao gulped, unable to speak.

Meanwhile, Liu Guangpu had interacted with many experts recently, so he cupped his fist in greeting and said, neither humble nor arrogant, "Daoist friend, perhaps this is rather abrupt, but I must ask, what has our Qianyu Empire done to offend your Heavenly Lord Pavilion?"

He truly could not understand.

Was it because they had developed too rapidly?

Did the Heavenly Lord Pavilion feel threatened by their power?

But an existence like the Heavenly Lord Pavilion would not usually be so petty.

After appearing, the black-robed man scanned the crowd.

In response to Liu Guangpu's question, he did not answer but merely looked at Liu Zhengtao.

"You are Liu Zhengtao, correct?" the black-robed man asked impassively.

Seeing the black-robed man treat him like air and only stare at his son, Liu Guangpu was taken aback, his brows furrowing.

Liu Zhengtao nodded dazedly.

His heart wondered.

Could it be that the Heavenly Lord Pavilion's actions are because of me?

But that can't be right!

During this time, I haven't gone out much at all!

I haven't offended anyone either!

Once the black-robed man had his confirmation, he said, "Our Pavilion Lord has a message for you."

Liu Zhengtao asked anxiously, "Please, senior, speak freely."

He felt that this black-robed man was about to reveal the truth.

"You have an excellent daughter!" The black-robed man said slowly.

After saying this, he did not bother to observe Liu Zhengtao's expression. His figure flashed, and he had vanished from his original spot.

He had simply delivered the message.

Originally, the father and son had expected the black-robed man to utter some harsh words or make threatening statements.

But they were instantly dumbfounded.

What?!

The two stared at each other in a daze.

Then they recalled the black-robed man's words.

An excellent daughter?

Suddenly.

Their eyes widened as if they had understood something.

Just now, they had been wondering if they had made some mistake and offended the Heavenly Lord Pavilion.

But now, the Heavenly Lord Pavilion's messenger had come and told them the answer.

However, it was completely different from what they had imagined!

"How is that possible! Didn't Yuxi go to some remote region to explore for hidden treasures! How could she have offended the Heavenly Lord Pavilion! And to such a severe degree, no less!"

Liu Zhengtao felt as if he had been struck over the head, utterly bewildered.

Liu Guangpu was just as dazed.

He knew where his granddaughter had gone and had even sent a Traversing Tribulation cultivator to accompany her.

As the two men stood in confusion, suddenly, two more people appeared in the great hall.

A man and a woman.

The woman was none other than Liu Yuxi.

The man was that Traversing Tribulation elder.

Both still bore expressions of lingering shock.

"Father, Grandfather, I'm back! Phew, what a harrowing experience today, I almost lost my life!"

As soon as Liu Yuxi returned, she plopped down brazenly without noticing the peculiar atmosphere in the great hall.

"Servants, bring me some fine tea!" she shouted outside.

After calling out, she finally looked at Liu Zhengtao and Liu Guangpu.

Only then did she realize something was amiss.

"Father, Grandfather, why are you looking at me like that?"

Liu Yuxi was utterly perplexed.

Liu Zhengtao's expression darkened as he said, "Yuxi, on this southern journey, just what happened? Tell us truthfully."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yuxi's face twisted with resentment.

At the same time, she poured out her grievances, recounting every injustice she had suffered, no matter how small, in excruciatingly minute detail.

As she spoke, she became unable to stop.

Finally, she gritted her teeth and said vehemently, "That Heavenly Lord Pavilion Lord was so arrogant! Father, our empire must quickly develop and treat them like dogs in the future!!"

As these words fell, boom!

An inextinguishable fury permeated the entire great hall.

Liu Zhengtao and Liu Guangpu's eyes burned with flames of rage.

The truth was revealed!

So that's what happened!

Liu Zhengtao suddenly looked at Liu Guangpu and said through gritted teeth, "Father, can I beat this unfilial granddaughter of yours?"

Liu Guangpu nodded seriously, "I want to join in on the beating!"

After discussing, the two rose abruptly and strode toward Liu Yuxi.

Hearing her father and grandfather's words, Liu Yuxi was dumbstruck.

As they approached, her eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

"Father! Grandfather! What's wrong with you! I...I haven't done anything wrong!!"

No one listened to her.

Soon, the great hall resounded with agonized screams.

Liu Zhengtao and Liu Guangpu were furious.

All their hard-earned achievements were about to vanish in the blink of an eye because of this wastrel!

Their empire might even decline back to a kingdom, who knows!

And on top of that, they had severely offended such an overwhelmingly powerful force!

Thinking of this, an iron rod suddenly appeared in Liu Zhengtao's hand...

...

Near the Reliance Sect.

After sending Murong Gong and the others back to the sect, the Black Boa exhaled heavily.

Then it flew to a certain location.

There, the Divine Artifact was floating idly, waiting.

Seeing the Black Boa, the Divine Artifact said, "Did you get the relationships sorted out?"

The Black Boa chuckled, "I've bribed them all, and even got them to speak well of me in front of that Existence."

Hearing this, the Divine Artifact froze briefly.

Then it hurriedly said, "In that case, you'd better hurry back and make sure they don't mention anything about you to that Existence! Not a single thing, or you'll be destroyed by those experts!"

Upon hearing this, the Black Boa froze.

Then, transforming into a streak of black smoke, it swiftly returned to the Reliance Sect.

After a busy while.

At the entrance of a courtyard in Qingxuan Town, a long sword and a black dog appeared.

"This is the place. Before entering, prepare yourself. Remember to be respectful and call them 'Your Eminence' when you see them. In the future, whenever Your Eminences give you instructions, make sure to keep the phrase 'okay' hanging on your lips. Got it?"

The Divine Artifact cautioned seriously.

The Black Boa quickly nodded and hummed in acknowledgment.

However, the Divine Artifact suddenly berated it.

"Look at you, you've already forgotten!"

The Black Boa paused, then realizing its mistake, quickly corrected itself, "Okay, Your Eminence!"

"Ahem, that's better! Let's go in!" The Divine Artifact said happily, leading the way.

The Black Boa felt helpless.

A sword and a dog entered.

After going in, the Divine Artifact announced, "Your Eminences, I'm back."

It only received a soft hum in response.

Then, all the Divine Artifacts looked toward the Black Boa behind the Divine Artifact.

They decided to give the Black Boa a stern lecture!

However.

Just as they were about to lecture the Black Boa, the dog-shaped Black Boa suddenly crouched down on all fours, as if kneeling, and shouted.

"Greetings, Your Eminences!!"

After these words, silence fell.

The Divine Artifacts who had intended to lecture the Black Boa suddenly could not speak.

Meanwhile, the Divine Artifact chuckled.

"Your Eminences, look, haven't I taught it properly?"
