Master Bai shook his head and heaved a long sigh as he watched her scamper off.

Jun Wuxia rushed into the empress dowager's tent excitedly.

"Father, did you want to see me?" Laxue held up the curtain for Jun Wuxia when she saw her coming.

However, Jun Wuxia only heard a furious voice.

The sound was like a thunderclap in Jun Wuxia's ears.

Frightened, she stood there in bewilderment and stared at Emperor Wu in disbelief.

"F- Father…" Jun Wuxia sounded scared, because she really was terrified.

Emperor Wu glared at her. "Kneel! Now!"

He sounded so fierce; he had never spoken to her like this before.

Jun Wuxia immediately burst into tears.
