Magic Emperors

Episode 47's

In the morning, sunlight enters the kitchen of the small courtyard.

Luo Yunchang's eyelids trembled as he opened his sleepy eyes. He looked around the kitchen and smiled sadly.

Last night, she was so tired after cooking that she fell asleep in the kitchen by herself.

Even if anyone knew this, no one would believe it. A Qi Condensation cultivator was exhausting himself from cooking? But the truth was that he was too tired that he would rather cultivate than cook.

When he woke up, he was frozen. Someone had worn a plain cover on him and his back was not leaning on a hard stove but on something soft instead.

Poking her lips, she turned her head only to see the sleeping Zhuo Fan leaning against her. And what made his back soft was his arm.

“Ah..”

Luo Yunchang was about to shout but he closed his mouth. It never crossed his mind that Zhuo Fan would spend the night with him here.

Blushed, Luo Yunchang scanned his face and wanted to take advantage of this opportunity. The pink lips of the young lady were getting closer to her face.

“Steward Zhuo, Young Miss ..”

A rude shout suddenly came from Captain Pang. Zhuo Fan's eyelids trembled and nearly opened.

Luo Yunchang immediately put his head back on his shoulder and pretended to sleep motionlessly. It was just that his red face betrayed him as if he had done something he was not supposed to do.

Zhuo Fan opened his eyes, took a deep breath, and frowned when he saw Captain Pang enter, “Old Bang, what's the rush?”

“Eh, Brother Zhuo, Young Miss ..” Captain Pang pointed at Luo Yunchang in shock.

Zhuo Fan turned to look at Luo Yunchang's red and shivering face. He touched his forehead, “It burned. Did he catch a cold?”

Shaking his head, Zhuo Fan blamed himself.

Last night, she wanted to bring Luo Yunchang back to her room, but afraid of waking him up, she chose to keep him in the kitchen. He didn't think sleep would cast a spell on him either.

“Pang Tua, say what you want to say. In the meantime, I will take this lady back to her room.”

Zhuo Fan held Luo Yunchang, but Old Pang panicked, “Can't, brother Zhuo. Someone wanted to invite the young lady over for a chat. Someone we can't hurt.”

“What can't offend? He wouldn't leave even if the Shrouded Dragon Pavilion asked.” Zhuo Fan snapped, “Can't you see him lose consciousness? She must be sick. Wait a minute and I'll go see that guest.”

“Huh, brother Zhuo, Steward Zhuo, Young Miss should meet him directly. He bears the Imperial Golden Seal.” Captain Pang shouted.

Zhuo Fan stopped.

Only the guards of the Imperial family had this seal. Even the leaders of the seven houses had to respond immediately or they would commit grave crimes. The lightest punishment was death, while the toughest was dragging the entire clan along with him.

Of course, with the strength of the Seven Nobles Houses, the Imperial family would refrain from using such a method. But that was not the case for a fallen clan like them.

Zhuo Fan squinted his eyes and thought about it, “Old Lady, tell her Young Miss is not well and she has to come back tomorrow.”

“What?”

Captain Pang's heart surged in fear.

[The man carried the Emperor's decree. If you do this, it's the same as saying you don't want to talk to him.]

But Zhuo Fan had already thought about it. Thinking back to last night, he guessed the one who called him was that fat guard.

The fat man was a good man and would not let emotions cover his judgment, slaughtering innocents on the left and right.

“Do as I say, now!” Zhuo Fan raised his voice.

“Wait!”

Luo Yunchang shouted, fought out of Zhuo Fan's embrace and spoke with a stern face, “Captain Pang, tell him to wait a while to make myself neat.”

“Understood!”

Captain Pang bowed and quietly rejoiced. [Thank God, Young Miss is awake or who knows how much trouble brother Zhuo's arrangement will cause.]

[But this Steward Zhuo is really fearless. If I followed his words, I would die of fear.]

Captain Pang shook his head and left.

Zhuo Fan watched Luo Yunchang skeptically. [How did he suddenly regain consciousness?]

Luo Yunchang rolled his eyes, “Why are you so careless? Is the Imperial family someone you can hurt?”

To avoid him noticing anything, Luo Yunchang rushed off. Zhuo Fan was left to walk alone into the living room, with doubt in his heart.

He met the man carrying the seal, a peak Qi Condensation cultivator. He was one of Fatty's stretcher porters.

The envoy cupped his hands, but his arrogant demeanor never left him. And whether intentionally or not, the Imperial Golden Seal flashed across his waist. Perhaps he was afraid they would think he was someone other than the Imperial family guards.

Zhuo Fan snorted, [You still gently think you can fake your arrogance around me. When I pretend, you're still like an egg in your mother's stomach.]

Zhuo Fan did not even look at him as he slumped on the chair, one foot above the other.

The messenger's eyes swelled with anger.

“Has the fat wound healed?” Zhuo Fan asked in passing.

[Fat?] The man was dumbfounded.

Then he realized that Zhuo Fan was calling his master fat. But the number of people in this world who dared to call him was less than ten.

[Then he and his master were.].

His heart started beating a mile a minute and arrogance was gone from his eyes, “My master didn't mention any injuries when he came back last night.”

“Is that so?”

Zhuo Fan raised his eyebrows, then laughed, “He must have thought of his image. I punched him thirty times yesterday and kicked him a dozen more times. There's no way she's okay.”

“Didn't you think so too? The fat guy must have been pretending that you guys weren't laughing at him, ha-ha-ha..” Zhuo Fan furrowed his brows at the man.

The messenger's lips twitched, unable to answer. But he remains ashamed.

“True, was Fang Qiubai's old goat still angry after he arrived?” Zhuo Fan looked at him with amazement this time.

But the envoy only shook his head.

Fang Qiubai came back with his master yesterday and only then did they find out about Fang Qiubai's arrival. Since Zhuo Fan knew of this before them, it showed how close he was to his master.

At this point, the envoy hid the seal in his pants. It worked well to scare some people, but it was best not to embarrass himself in front of a young master like Zhuo Fan.

“Big!”

Seeing the messenger shake his head, Zhuo Fan rejoiced, “Maybe you don't know, but the old goat wants to make me a disciple. If it wasn't for my determination and I'd rather die than kneel, the old goat would have taken me away by now. I still think he's angry and will come nagging again. Now that I know he doesn't, I can calm down. The old goat understands my predicament.”

“What, Fang Qiubai wants to make you a disciple?”

The man shouted as his legs became soft and collapsed.

[Heaven! Who is this young master? He was a friend who beat up the master and also someone who was wanted as a disciple by the Heavenly Flute Jade Sword Fang Qiubai, whom the Emperor respected?]

Zhuo Fan secretly sneered, “What's up? Why fall?”

“Let me help you!” Zhuo Fan said so but did not show any intention to make a move.

The envoy was sharp enough to bounce back while waving his hand, “No need, Steward Zhuo, I dare not ask for such help. I am not worthy.”

“Huh, the instinct of a servant!” Zhuo Fan underestimated, “You called help you wake up, help?”

“Could you be the Emissary?”

Luo Yunchang, dressed to impress, walked in front of him and bowed. The envoy rushed to kowtow, “You made it difficult for me. Please don't be so polite. If master hears me disrespecting his friends, he will punish me.”

Luo Yunchang was confused and turned to Zhuo Fan, who only shrugged.

But Captain Pang who was behind him, was dumbfounded silly at the courteous attitude of the envoy.

[Where was your haughty attitude before? Spouting something like if the young lady doesn't come see you in fifteen minutes, you'll execute us all. Why the sudden change of tone?]

But even these changes were too outrageous and polite.

Captain Pang looked at Zhuo Fan who only showed a puzzling smile.

Old Pang thought Steward Zhuo had something to do with it and gave his thumbs up.

[Only Steward Zhuo can make the Imperial family bodyguards prostrate to our Young Miss.]

Zhuo Fan ignored the decency of the messenger, “Why did the fat man call me?”

Only

“A-I don't know. I was only ordered to invite the Cai clan, the Lei clan, and the Luo clan from Windgaze City. ” The messenger spoke very politely.

Zhuo Fan squinted his eyes.

[It seems that the Valley of Hell targeting the three clans must have something to do with the Imperial family ..]
