The father is a hero while the son is a coward

"What's the cultivation level of that guy's son?"

Unaware of what was happening in the empress dowager's bedchamber, Cao Wenbin and Yi Qing'er had already returned to Yi Qing'er's residence.

And as soon as the door closed, Cao Wenbin immediately leaped out of the Swallowing Heaven Pagoda.

"He's at the peak of the quasi - saint level, just like me."

"This is a hurdle for all cultivators, and it's not so easy to overcome."

Cao Wenbin nodded slightly. Actually, before asking, he already had an idea in his mind.

The reason he asked was just to confirm.

"Then do you think he'll bring his servants?"

Silence.

Obviously, this question was a bit difficult.

"It's hard to say."

"Before, Situ Feng naturally wouldn't bring anyone."

"Firstly, it's very difficult for outsiders to enter the inner court of the imperial family."

"Secondly, that guy always looks at me like a lovesick fool. Such an embarrassing situation, of course he doesn't want his subordinates to see."

"But now..."

Yi Qing'er didn't finish the rest of the sentence, but Cao Wenbin already understood.

"In that case, we'll deal with whatever comes our way."

And things are often as capricious as fate.

Just as the words fell, Situ Feng arrived.

"Is Your Majesty here?"

"Your subject, Situ Feng, requests an audience."

In an instant, the spiritual senses of both of them swept towards the door.

Then, simultaneously, expressions of joy appeared on their faces.

"He came alone!"

"Great. In this way, we don't have to worry about making too much noise and being discovered."

"By the way, you're really charming."

"Under such circumstances, you can still lure this guy to come alone."

Yi Qing'er raised her head slightly, her face filled with pride.

Immediately after, with a wave of her small hand, she opened the palace door directly.

As for the subsequent battle...

It was completely one - sided.

Either Cao Wenbin or Yi Qing'er was no weaker than Situ Feng in strength.

So without any worries, after just ten moves, Situ Feng was like a dead dog, completely losing his ability to resist.

"Who are you? Why are you in Qing'er's room?"

Cao Wenbin was speechless.

Was there shit in this guy's head?

In this situation, he still had the mood to be jealous?

Besides, a man and a woman were already in the same room alone. What else was there to say?

Did he really think there was pure friendship between a man and a woman?

"Idiot!"

So, Cao Wenbin, who disliked chatting with fools, directly released the Virtue - Prestige Holy Flame.

"Ah~"

The screams were earth - shattering.

Yi Qing'er watched with a sense of relief.

Fortunately, she didn't choose to fight to the death with him at the beginning. Otherwise, all of this would have befallen her.

"I wonder how long this guy can hold on."

"If he can last more than a minute..."

Obviously, she overestimated Situ Feng.

Before she could finish her wild thoughts, words of begging for mercy rushed into her ears like a barrage.

"Quick, stop!"

"If you keep burning, I'll die!"

"I'll cooperate with whatever you want me to do, without any discount!"

She was slightly stunned.

The next moment, Yi Qing'er rolled her eyes directly.

At the same time, Cao Wenbin, feeling that the time was right, also started the interrogation.

"Speak!"

"What has your father done to the empress dowager?"

"This..."

Situ Feng clearly didn't want to answer.

But with just a glare from Cao Wenbin, he immediately cowered.

"Don't do anything. I'll talk!"

"Earlier today, the empress dowager was already controlled by my father."

"The experts of my Situ family have already formed a confrontation with the experts of the imperial family."

"Now, as long as my father can subdue the empress dowager and then take the opportunity to gather her die - hard supporters, the balance of victory will completely tip towards us."

"Brother, the Yi family is on the verge of collapse."

"I say, you should come and help me."

"As long as you can help me capture Yi Qing'er, you can have your way with the other women of the Yi family in the future."

"You may not know, but the Yi family is full of beautiful women."

"Each of them is as fresh and lovely as a flower."

Maybe he got excited.

Anyway, while talking, this guy actually tried to persuade Cao Wenbin to surrender.

So, he quickly received two hard slaps and a flying kick.

"You're just daydreaming, damn it!"

"Alright, quickly tell us what other backup plans you have."

"Remember, no nonsense!"

"Otherwise, I'll control the Virtue - Prestige Holy Flame to burn between your legs!"

This threat was extremely harsh.

So Situ Feng's body trembled subconsciously.

"My father also plans to win over the madman at the bottom of the imperial prison."

"To deal with all unexpected events."

"Before I came, my mother had already gone to negotiate in person."

Cao Wenbin was stunned.

Sending a woman to negotiate with a prisoner who hasn't seen a woman for years? Whose brilliant idea was this?

"Damn it. If that woman doesn't get fat when she comes back, I'll write the Cao character upside down!"

"This is like throwing a meat bun at a dog and expecting it back!"

Yi Qing'er, who had less experience, obviously hadn't thought of this.

However, her small face turned completely pale the moment the words "the bottom of the imperial prison" came out.

"What's wrong with you?"

Taking a deep breath, Yi Qing'er then replied, "Husband, we must find a way to stop the prime minister's wife's action."

"The one locked at the bottom of the imperial prison is a real madman."

"Before being locked up, 141 women fell victim to him."

"Their deaths were extremely tragic."

"Most importantly, this person has a cultivation level of half - step emperor realm."

"He's the third - strongest expert in our Qingling Dynasty."

"If he really sides with the Situ family, we'll be in danger."

Cao Wenbin was stunned again.

The third - strongest expert?

Has the Qingling Dynasty declined to this extent?

And Yi Qing'er obviously guessed what he was thinking.

"Yes, there are only two emperors left among us."

"They have survived from ancient times."

"They are both at the seventh - grade strength currently."

"Actually, since we were relegated to this space, no one has been able to cross the threshold of the emperor realm."

"The madman at the bottom of the imperial prison went crazy precisely because of this."

"He thought that since there was no way forward, there was no point in cultivating."

"It's better to enjoy life."

With this explanation, Cao Wenbin understood everything.

But just as he was about to say something, Situ Feng, driven mad by the word "husband," suddenly burst out laughing.

"You don't need to struggle in vain!"

"It's already too late!"

"Do you know why it's my mother who went to negotiate?"

"Because she's the madman's first love."

"I estimate that at this moment, the conditions might have already been negotiated."

"That madman is on his way to the imperial palace."
