However, he could no longer support any of the Xiahou Family's forces.

However, there was one thing that he could not punish.

If they angered General Xiahou, the consequences would be dire.

Therefore, he had to be even more careful.

He only hoped that General Xiahou would not rebel for the rest of his life.

A hundred years from now … That was Li Yue's problem.

Xiahou Ye Qian was the daughter that General Xiahou doted on the most. If Li Yue could have Ye Qian follow him closely, then his mountains and rivers would be settled.

This was one of the more important reasons why he decided to give the successor to the throne to Li Yue. If nothing unexpected happened, Li Yue would definitely become his successor.

Therefore, Xiahou Ye Qian could neither afford to offend nor reward him.

The reason the King of the Western Regions had yet to make a move was firstly because he had truly not expected it.

The second reason was to wait for General Xiahou to return to the city and scout out his intentions.

Furthermore, Li Yue was injured in the past few days, so he thought Xiahou Ye Qian would not remember this matter.

However, since she had come looking for him, he had to deal with her.

Regardless of how the general spoke, as long as Xiahou Ye Qian didn't object, the general wouldn't care.

The King of the Western Regions pondered for a while, then looked at Jingjing seriously, and said, "You have done meritorious service, and you have done it before. But before I carry out the rewards and punishments, this king has something to ask you."

"Please speak, royal father!" In fact, Jingjing was also a little curious, just how did the King of the Western Regions want to "act shamelessly"?

The Western Region King felt more comfortable seeing Jingjing act like she was easy to talk to.

He looked at Jing Jing and said seriously: "What did you encounter in the underground palace? Why are you fine? Why did you learn the Divine Palm?"

This chain of questions caused Jingjing to be dumbstruck.

What did she encounter in the underground palace?

What a joke, no matter the circumstances, the King of the Western Regions would not know even the tiniest bit about this.

She did know some of the legends about the underground palace, and she also knew that it was related to the Wordless Heavenly Book.

If such a thing were to be known by the King of the Western Regions, he would not know how to use him.

Furthermore, she had promised the Tenth Princess that she wouldn't tell anyone about the details of the situation, as it would implicate her maids and eunuchs.

However, how should he answer it so as to not reveal any flaws?

Jingjing looked at the Western Region King with an incomparably sincere expression and said: "Royal father, when I entered the underground palace that day, I was unable to burn the fire piston. He encountered a lot of attacks from bats, all of which he managed to dodge. "My feet slipped and I fell into a bottomless pit …"

Jing Jing recalled the situation back then, with a look of lingering fear, it didn't seem to be fake at all.

What's more, what Jingjing said was the truth, and it was indeed the scene at that time.

As a woman, especially a lady from a noble family, she naturally did not like those dark caves, much less those bats and the like. It was understandable to the King of the Western Regions.

"..." Afterwards, I lost consciousness. When I woke up once more, I was already in the bamboo forest outside the underground palace. I felt the different airflow in my body and attacked … "Then he would have astonishing power."

"This son really doesn't know what's going on, as for the 'Jingjing Divine Palm', it is just a name this son casually chose. It's completely unfounded! "

Although she intentionally left out some suspicions, she was speaking the truth.

It was just the matter of the Tenth Princess earlier, the matter of her being unconscious, and the incident later on that was skipped a bit. It was really just a little bit.

The King of the Western Regions looked at Jing Jing without blinking. He couldn't see any trace of falsehood in his eyes, only sincerity and slight bewilderment.

The Western Region King pondered for a moment, and then said in a low voice that Jingjing couldn't hear: "Could it be … I met the Priest, but didn't the Priest already … "

Even if Jingjing's internal force had recovered by now, she could only hear these few keywords and didn't know what it meant.

Jing Jing looked at the Western Region King's thoughtful expression and fearlessly added, "Royal father, that … If there's nothing else, I'll head back to the King's Manor. Qingyue is still waiting for me to return. "

The King of the Western Regions shook his head. "The chef has already sent someone to send them. Stay a while longer. After This King finishes asking questions, you can naturally go back. Moreover …." I haven't thought about your rewards and punishments. When I think about it, I'll bring it back with me! "

"…" Jingjing stared speechlessly at the Western Region King, she really didn't understand why this stubborn old man was so wary of her.

However, she finally understood why the masked man wanted her to pretend to be the Ninth Princess.

If it was the real Xiahou Ye Qian, how could she have been so easy to talk to?

Now, Jingjing was even more certain that the masked man was either a member of the royal family or a subordinate of the royal family.

Otherwise, why would he think so highly of the royal family?

"Then, do you have any other orders from the king?" Jingjing looked at the Western Region King and asked seriously.

She didn't want to cause any more trouble, she just wanted to quickly go back and ask the chef about Senior Sister's matters.

"Use your divine palm and see what I can learn from it." The King of the Western Regions seriously looked at Jingjing as he spoke.

This was the only way he could think of.

Xiahou Ye Qian was the daughter of General Xiahou. If she didn't want to talk about the underground palace, the Western Region King couldn't do anything about it. After all, there was no proof.

Moreover, from the way Jingjing spoke just now, it didn't seem like she was lying.

That was about the only thing she knew about the underground palace.

When he thought of that night when the Wordless Book was written, he thought of the Priest … The Western Region King began to grow restless.

Jing Jing looked at the King of the Western Region's changing expression, she knew that at this time, she could not afford to offend him, and she could not disobey him.

He nodded and said, "Okay, but we have to go to a place with fewer people!"

The Western Region King said, "Alright."

Then he shouted to the outside, "Come on!"

Not long later, the group arrived at a remote, cold hall in the palace.

The Western Region King only brought two personal guards with him and did not inform anyone.

This cold palace was spacious and empty. Behind it was a mountain, and behind the mountain was a lake. No one would come, nor would anyone be harmed. If someone found out, they would know the secret ahead of him.

After arriving, Jingjing looked for the terrain.

The Western Region King looked at the two people behind him and waved his hand. "Retreat!"

The two of them were clearly well-trained. With a simple word, the King of the Western Regions retreated to a place not far away from them. With his back facing the two of them, he did not move.

Jingjing thought in her heart, if these two people were pulled back to become secret agents by her, her master would definitely like these professional people very much.

"Let's begin!" The words of the Western Region King brought up the thought of Jingjing.

Jingjing took a deep breath and said, "Alright, Royal Father, please stand far away as well, so as to avoid hurting you by accident if you have too much inner strength!"

The Western Region King nodded and retreated to a safe distance.

Jingjing closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

He turned around and found a suitable position. Then, he released his palm, so that the item wouldn't bounce back.

The Western Region King looked at her nervously. The two guards who had their backs to her also became nervous.

Everyone present seemed to have felt a sense of nervousness and pressure from the atmosphere …

The Western Region King stared fixedly at Jingjing, not wanting to miss a single detail.

He wanted to find out more about the priests or the Wordless Book.

Jing Jing turned her palms around, closed her eyes, and sank her qi into her dantian …

The pair of white fingers drew a few beautiful arcs in front of her chest.

Following that, she slowly and clearly shouted one word at a time, "Jing — Jing — Shen — Palm —!"

As soon as she shouted, she swiftly pushed her hand away.

There was no reaction at all.

There wasn't any dust, stone, or even the slightest bit of movement that he had expected?

What was going on?

The Western Region King's face darkened. The two guards standing not too far away could not help but turn around to take a look.

This, this, this... What was going on?

Why was there no reaction at all?

The leaves in front of him didn't even move. What kind of legendary palm was this?

Was this still the Jingjing Divine Palm that could kill Glue with a single slap?

Jingjing also looked at her own palm in disbelief, not understanding how the Jingjing Divine Palm suddenly stopped working.!

"Ninth wangfei —" The Western Region King's face darkened as his younger brother shouted.

He was obviously suspecting that Jingjing was playing with him.

Jingjing herself was extremely anxious.

Her talent was inferior, and her experience was inferior to Senior Sister's.

He had fallen into a cave with great difficulty and obtained a divine art. However, it couldn't be that he had disappeared with just a single fall, right?

Jingjing withdrew her hand and prayed to the heavens, "Buddha Bodhisattva, god of all paths, don't play with me, I beg you …" Return the Divine Palm to me. "

After a series of weird prayers, Jingjing breathed out evenly again.

"Royal father, don't be anxious. I-I'll do it again." Seeing that the Western Region King would be even more nervous, Jing Jing closed her eyes and turned her head.

His heart kept hypnotizing himself. I can send, I can send. I want to be calm. I want to be calm …

He took another deep breath and sunk his qi into his Dantian.

His hands were still moving skillfully, and he was still looking forward slowly.

He kept hypnotizing himself and trying to remain calm.

Next, he rotated his palm and pushed it out once more.

"..." "Jing — Jing — Shen — Palm —"

"Jingjing Divine Palm — Jingjing Divine Palm, Jingjing Divine Palm …"

Despite shouting for more than a dozen times, there was no response at all.

A gust of wind blew, and the previously motionless leaves in front of her, as if ridiculing her, finally moved twice.

However, it had nothing to do with her …

The Western Region King's face had already turned completely black.

The two guards who were waiting at the back also twitched their lips.

Initially, he thought that he would be fortunate enough to see some sort of divine palm, but in the end … Let's not talk about it.

"Ninth wangfei, this joke isn't funny at all!" The Western Region King's face darkened as he solemnly said to Jingjing.

Jing Jing's expression relaxed, she looked seriously at the Western Region King, and said: "Royal father, I'm not joking with you, I don't even know what's going on."

Seeing the anxiety and helplessness in her eyes, the Western Region King felt even more puzzled.

"Could it be …" It's useless against these things, but what use is it to these people? "

The King of the Western Regions pondered for a moment. He felt that now was not the time to reprimand him, but to find a way to release the Divine Palm.

He absolutely did not believe that Xiahou Ye Qian could see through his thoughts …

He admitted that he wanted to learn the Divine Palm. He wanted to be invincible and unite the Central Plains!

However, Xiahou Ye Qian would never be able to tell, nor would anyone be able to.
