Chapter 22: Netherworld Seal

  "Thirteen, step down." Just then, a hoarse voice rang out.

  The man in black put away his heavy sword, took a step forward, and Egg Egg escaped from the tip of Qi Bei's sword. If he lifted up his hood at this moment, one would find that there were fine beads of cold sweat on his forehead.

  There was no look of surprise on Zhi Bei's face, he flipped over and got up, gritted his teeth and twisted his sore waist and back, looking towards the two people who had appeared at some unknown time.

  One is Nord's father, Kodt Nord, still looking old and frail, supported by his son Raymond Nord.

  "I say, dear grandfather and father, don't be like this. As soon as you come back, you put on such a show. If this old brother had made a mistake, how would you have let the white-haired people send off the black-haired ones?" Qi Bei complained with a bitter face, while brushing off the dust all over his body. In his heart, he also understood that just now, that Wang Pin warrior hadn't used his full strength. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so easy.

  "You little stinker, no respect for your elders! Just you wait and see if I don't skin you alive!" Raymond Nord said with a straight face, but the delight in his eyes couldn't be hidden.

  "It's done." Korti Nod said in a low voice, didn't he know that the father and son were acting?

  Old Master spoke, and Raymond Nord immediately shut up like a cold cicada. On the other hand, Qi Bei, who had previously seen Old Master as if he were a mouse seeing a cat, looked at him fearlessly.

  Kodie. Nord's turbid gaze swept over Qi Bei, revealing a thread of inexplicable emotion, and he said: "You father and son can talk, Thirteen, help me back."

  The old man watched a play and left after only two sentences, without anyone guessing what was on his mind.

  "Little boy, you're getting bolder and bolder, daring to be so rude to your old man." Raymond Nord stared at this son who seemed somewhat unfamiliar to him, whom he had protected for a full fifteen years, only to discover that his son's changes were so great that he didn't dare believe it.

  "It's not just about the words, I have absolute respect for the old man, he is the pillar of our Nuo De family." Qi Bei said seriously.

  Raymond Nord looked up and down at his son, then suddenly slapped him on the back of the head.

  "Old man, didn't you say I couldn't hit the back of your head? Don't you know it'll make me stupid?" Qi Bei shouted without thinking.

  Raymond Nord burst out laughing, the unfamiliar feeling in his heart disappeared, this was still his own son, no matter how he changed, he was still his own kind, and when he patted him on the back of the head before, he also shouted loudly like this.

  "I'm your old man, what's wrong with hitting you?" Raymond Nord laughed.

  Zhi Bei rolled her eyes and was speechless.

  "You young fellow, get ready and in half an hour, go with the old master to see His Majesty." said Raymond Nord.

  "Still have to go see? Well, see then." Qi Bei was somewhat unwilling in his heart. In his past memories, Emperor Hanmo was absolutely a person who made people's hair stand on end, also known as a guy with an arrogant and domineering air about him.

  "He's your future father-in-law, you have to meet him whether you like it or not." Raymond Nod smiled complacently, unaware if he was gloating over his own son's advantage or taking pleasure in someone else's misfortune.

  Qī Běi's eyebrows furrowed, no way, did Emperor Hánmòs really intend to keep his promise?

  "Huh? You little scamp, shouldn't you be over the moon with this news?" Raymond Nord was taken aback by Zhi Bei's expression.

  "Dad, I've grown up and broadened my horizons. How can I be satisfied with ordinary women?" said Qi Bei.

  "You little stinker, you're lucky to have gotten off cheap, now hurry up and prepare, Princess Mingyue is going to be the daughter-in-law of the Nuo De family." Raymond Nuo De slapped the back of Qi Bei's head once again.

  ……

  ……

  The Golden Leaf Grand Hall of the Imperial Palace is where the emperor and his ministers discuss state affairs.

  Today, in the vast Golden Leaf Palace, there were only Emperor Harnos and Corti, Nord and Qi Bei, three people.

  Harmos the Great sat high and aloof on his throne, while Korti Nod had half-closed his dim old eyes, sitting serenely on a soft cushion bestowed upon him. Only Zhi Bei stood like a pillar behind Korti Nod, holding a box.

  The atmosphere was somewhat oppressive, like the low pressure before a storm on the high seas, making it hard to breathe.

  Although the surface of Ziqi Bei was calm, the inner power of Shenlong Jue was frantically rotating to withstand this pressure from his soul.

  It seems that the saying "the aura of a turtle" is not an empty phrase after all.

  "Old Kotti, I heard that Rui Xue, that little thief, snuck out of the imperial palace and went to your place, where that fierce tiger is." Emperor Hamos spoke up, his words like a knife, directly aimed at harming.

  "This old minister has also heard of it." Old Kotti nodded and said.

  "Everyone knows that Princess Ruixue has a crush on Huan'an, and now it seems that Huan'an is not indifferent to Ruixue either. Old Keti, don't you think we should arrange their wedding as soon as possible? If they have a secret child, it would be a shame for both the imperial family and the Nuo De family." Emperor Hanmo didn't even glance at Qi Bei, seemingly determined to pair Huan'an with Princess Ruixue.

  "Your Majesty, everything has its order, although I also like Princess Rui Xue very much. However, the engagement between Hua An and the eldest young lady of the Feng family has already been settled. Let's wait for their wedding to be arranged first, and then welcoming Princess Rui Xue will not be late." Kottie Nord said in a trembling voice with an unchanged expression.

  "Old Kotti, are you suggesting that I let my royal princess serve the same husband as other women? And even rank after that Wind family girl?" Emperor Hamos slammed his hand on the armrest of his throne, his face filled with rage.

  They say that when an emperor gets angry, blood flows for a thousand miles. Qi Bei's heart skipped a few beats as Hanmo Dadi slammed his hand down.

  However, Korti Nuo De seemed to be unaffected and said: "Your Majesty, please calm down. Do you know that there is a maid named Xiao Qing beside Princess Rui Xue?"

  Hanmo Dadi was taken aback, unsure what Kuti Nord had in mind. But he knew that this old fellow would never ask a pointless question, and there must be something behind it.

  "It is known that Xiao Qing has been Snow's personal maid since childhood." Emperor Hanmo replied with a gloomy face.

  "Open it, Zhi Bei," said Korti Nod.

  Qī Bě placed the box on the ground, and he was also somewhat curious. He didn't know what was inside either. However, since the old man attached such importance to it, there must be something in it that even the great Emperor Hàmó would fear.

  Qin Bei pressed the hidden lock on the trunk, and the lid suddenly popped open.

  A human head! Inside the box was actually a human head, it was the head of Xiao Qing, the maid who served Rui Xue.

  "Old Kordi, you..." Emperor Harnos suddenly stood up, looking down at Kordi Nord.

  "Your Majesty, look." Korti Nod's cane extended above the small green head, and instantly, a dark seal appeared on the forehead of the head.

  "Seal of the Underworld!" Emperor Harnos was shocked and lost his color, only those who practiced dark magic would have a seal on their forehead between their eyebrows.
