Chapter 1384 (Something's Wrong with this Look)
Because the burly butcher could not move, it seemed like some force was controlling him...
Facing this situation, the children felt a kind of joy, a joy that couldn't be described, as if something had been confirmed... It seems that someone did take action.
Qing Ya and Donghuang Baizhi also hoped to see this scene; otherwise, all their efforts would be in vain.
However, there are things that need to be said...
"It seems someone dares to oppose. Why not come forward and let everyone see this hero of yours?" Donghuang Baizhi said calmly, not at all flustered. In the face of a powerful enemy, coming to the Voidless Empire, one should tread carefully and not act recklessly; otherwise, the consequences would be quite severe.
"Since you want to see it, then I'll fulfil your wish!" The words of Cheng Hen finally echoed, filled with unwavering determination.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh...
Over a dozen figures floated directly above the execution ground, imposing and showcasing their demeanour.
Indeed, they were impressive, but in the eyes of the onlookers, they were simply courting death...
For the first time in the history of the Voidless Empire, a situation of attacking the execution ground occurred, as if the Voidless Empire was not being taken seriously.
This behaviour is despicable, but one also has to admire their courage, or perhaps their ignorance.
"Who are you on the other side? Identify yourselves!" Qing Ya sternly demanded.
Chang Qing straightened his sleeve and said, "Asking a question you already know the answer to."
"The Dean of the Divine Scripture Academy is really eloquent," Donghuang Baizhi said calmly. She didn't expect these people to actually show up and rescue the children.
Hearing that it was the head of the Divine Scripture Academy, the people present were in an uproar. The top figure from the South actually appeared and directly confronted the Voidless Empire. It was truly astonishing.
As a mother, Qing Ya felt gratified. It was not in vain that she entrusted her children to them for over ten years.
Chang Qing chuckled lightly, "The Empress of the Voidless Empire is truly remarkable, a heroine among women."
"The headmaster is too kind. I wonder what brings the Dean here?"
Chang Qing looked at the children below and whispered, "Your Majesty, these individuals are my students. If there is any offence, please forgive them. After all, they are all children who have just left the academy and may not fully understand the world. If there's any offence, as the head of the Divine Scripture Academy, I will apologise on their behalf here."
"The head of the Broken Meridian Sect, Chang Hen, is also the same. Donghuang Li and Ye Shen are my disciples. As a teacher, my discipline is lacking..."
The performance of Chang Hen and Chang Qing surprised Qing Ya and Donghuang Baizhi. According to the script, they should be exchanging blows immediately, so why was the tone so low? As prominent figures from the South, they were not fools. If victory could be achieved without fighting, that would be the best.
After rescuing the children, they could slowly settle the score later. Besides, they still hadn't fully understood Voidless Empire fully...
The children below were moved after hearing this. They didn't expect the Sect Master and Dean to lower their status like this. After all, they were big shots from the South. When had they ever acted like this? For the sake of rescuing them, they even set aside their pride. It was truly touching...
At this moment, Qing Ya recognized a very familiar face among this group.
'Long Aotian???!!!'
'Is he really Long Aotian? How is that possible... Didn't he disappear back then?'
'Or is it... just someone who looks very similar?'
Thinking about the past, if it weren't for the existence of Long Aotian, she wouldn't have gone to the bar to get drunk, and even indulged in a moment…
Although it was just one indulgence, it led to a complicated entanglement with Ye Hua.
Originally, Qing Ya was still wondering if it was really Long Aotian himself. However, seeing the way Long Aotian looked at her, it should be confirmed. This is indeed Long Aotian.
At this moment, Long Aotian was also a little pleased. After all, from Qing Ya's gaze, he discovered that she still remembered him.
How could she not remember?
This was jumping from one pit to another, and this pit was no ordinary pit; it was a huge pit...
'Isn't the person next to him Jiu Ye... wasn't he seen with Ye Hua back then? How come he's also in the group…'
Qing Ya was a bit bewildered at this moment. Originally, it was just a problem of the children, but now it seems to have escalated.
At this moment, Ye Yan and Ye Liu glanced at their mother sneakily and found that she looked a bit strange, staring at one person in the group with a mysterious look...
The two couldn't help but imagine in their minds. Could it be that they've encountered their mother's ex-boyfriend?
That would be a terrifying situation.
Qing Yutong also looked over and was shocked. Although she had only seen him once... she also knew that the man who almost became her brother-in-law back then was Long Aotian!
How could this man appear in the group? Could it be that he still harbours evil intentions...
Back then, he made big promises, saying that he would take her sister and herself into his arms. As a result, he disappeared. There's no need to think too much; it must have been the work of her brother-in-law, the vinegar king.
At this moment, Ye Hua and Wei Chang were watching the situation in the field.
However, Ye Hua was a bit unhappy. Wei Chang on the side knew why he was unhappy but didn't know how to explain it.
"How can he be here?!" Ye Hua asked in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty, I... I don't know..."
"You don't know? Didn't I ask you to arrange for someone to keep an eye on him back then? How did the surveillance turn out like this?" Faced with Wei Chang's explanation, Ye Hua was very dissatisfied.
"It's the subordinates' negligence." What else could Wei Chang say? It's really a headache... Looking at Your Majesty's appearance, it seems that there is a hint of jealousy.
But this is also good. If the Empress sees him being jealous, she will be happy. After all, this is a sign of caring.
Not to mention being jealous, just thinking about the situation back then makes him very displeased.
"Your Majesty, do you want to do something about it?" Wei Chang curiously asked.
Ye Hua said in a deep voice, "No need. I want to see what they are up to. Is it a rekindling of old flames!"
"Your Majesty is not that serious."
"I can see it a bit, hmph!" Ye Hua was just venting his frustration. Although their relationship had eased a bit in recent days, recalling unhappy events suddenly made him feel uneasy.
Looking at the expression on his woman's face, it seemed like something was bothering her.
Ye Hua paused for a moment and said again, "Look at Qing Ya's expression; she has forgotten to focus on the task at hand... It's an emotional response triggered by familiar scenes."
Wei Chang remained silent, deciding not to intervene. Your Majesty seems to be quite jealous right now.
At this moment, Qing Ya adjusted her mindset and spoke up, "What were you just talking about?"
Qing Ya didn't intentionally ask this, mainly because she did indeed lose focus for a moment.
