The daily life of a max-level immortal cultivator

Chapter 70 Head-to-head confrontation

"During the turmoil two hundred years ago, many of our clan's secret treasures were lost, and this Imperial Summoning Token was one of them. Where did Miss Liu find it?"

"Oh, I saw it was quite special when I was buying things in the market, so I bought it. Originally, it looked like a talisman, but after it came into Shaoming's hands, it turned back to its original form and even recognized him as its master. I suppose it's related to something from your clan."

"Originally, I just thought it was another piece of evidence to prove his identity, so I let you see what it was. I didn't expect it to be so important."

Liu Xingxing gave a very reasonable explanation. She couldn't possibly say that she already knew about this thing, but she only just found out that it was called the Imperial Summoning Order.

"It's fate! It's truly fortunate that Shaoming has received Miss Liu's help. Fu Hua thanks you very much."

"Hey, Shaoming and I are friends, so it's only right to help a friend. There's no need to thank me."

Fu Hua didn't stand on ceremony any longer. She returned the imperial summons to Shao Ming and took his hand to explain the situation in detail.

They talked until evening.

Because Fu Hua's body needed frequent rest, no one came to disturb them. Although her body was a bit weak, she was still a cultivator and had long since abstained from grains, so she didn't need to eat. However, Shao Ming, who had no cultivation, was hungry early in the morning.

"You two will have to make do with this place for the night. It's inconvenient for the two of you to move around here. I'll go and discuss this with my husband."

"Yes, I will do as Your Majesty says. But remember, do not let too many people know about this. Your Majesty should understand the reasons behind it."

Liu Xingxing gave her a look, and Fu Hua understood. She nodded slightly and walked out of the main hall.

After all, Fu Hua had been a queen for so many years, so she was naturally sensible in her actions. Moreover, she had been deceived for so long, so the person who did this must not be simple. She knew what was more important than what was not.

To allow Ah Huan's child to be lost for so many years, and to pull off this switcheroo right under her nose, she will never let this person behind the scenes get away with it!

……

As night fell, an unexpected person arrived at the main hall of the West Palace.

When the gatekeeper came to report, Xin Feitian was stunned for a while before he hurriedly went out to greet him personally.

Everyone knows that he loves her and has always been willing to put in the effort to please her, just like everyone else. The two of them are as respectful and loving as people see them.

But... only he knew that Fu Hua had never liked him, never.

The person Fu Hua loved died hundreds of years ago, and he witnessed that person's death with his own eyes, as well as the once lively and spirited girl, who also died that day...

Over the years, no matter what he did, Fu Hua always maintained a calm and detached attitude, and she never took the initiative to come to him; it was always him who went to her.

But today, she came to see him.

Xin Feitian was overjoyed, and his steps were much lighter than usual.

"Hua'er, what urgent matter brings you here so late at night? If you're not feeling well, you could have just sent someone to call me. There's no need to make such a fuss."

Although he said it that way, Xin Feitian's joy was already evident.

"You all should step aside first."

Fu Hua's expression was quite serious.

Xin Feitian calmed down a bit, it seemed he definitely had something important to discuss with him.

Xin Feitian gave the order again: "Everyone, go down."

The waiting crowd responded and withdrew.

Suddenly, only the two of them remained in the room. The slightly cold magical light shone on them, making Fu Hua's face appear even paler and more delicate, as if she were transparent, a sight that broke one's heart.

"Hua'er..."

"My husband, I've found Shaoming. My premonition was right."

Fu Hua interrupted him at the right moment.

"Hua'er, don't be like this. Shaoming is perfectly fine in the palace, he..."

“I know you’ve always refused to believe it, but he is Shenghuan’s child. No matter how much you refuse to admit it, he is still Shenghuan’s child…”

Xin Feitian looked at Fu Hua with heartache.

No wonder she came to find him; she was in such a hurry because she was related to Sheng Huan.

Fu Hua had told him long ago that he suspected Xin Shaoming's identity, but ever since Sheng Huan and his wife left, the child has been raised under Fu Hua's watchful eye.

How could it be fake to protect her like the apple of her eye? It's likely that her traumatic disorder has flared up again, causing her to be so suspicious. That's why Xin Feitian is so certain that Fu Hua is probably hallucinating again.

Fu Hua glanced at Xin Feitian and immediately knew what he was thinking, but instead of refuting him as usual, she simply said:

"I know you won't believe it, but Shaoming is right here in my bedchamber with another girl. If you don't believe me, come with me and you'll see."

Seeing her serious expression, Xin Feitian couldn't help but worry. Was her hallucination getting worse?

"Alright, whatever Hua'er says goes. I'll go with you."

Fu Hua paused for a moment, said nothing more, and then turned and led the people out of the main hall.

That's why she has never liked him, no matter how much he tried to please her over the years, she never liked him in the slightest.

……

Xin Feitian didn't have anyone follow him. Under the dim moonlight, and in complete silence, the two walked silently to Fu Hua's bedchamber.

Her servants, Fu Hua, had been dismissed early in the morning, and there was no one guarding the huge palace gates.

The lighting in her bedroom was different from that in the main hall; the warm light made people feel less distant from her.

"Wow, you're back pretty quickly."

Liu Xingxing, who was eating her meal, suddenly spoke up. Shao Ming, who was also enjoying his meal, looked at her in confusion before belatedly realizing who she was talking about.

It's also because Liu Xingxing's cooking skills are too good; the food she brings makes people forget where they are as soon as they eat it.

To cater to her own appetite and also to take care of Shao Ming, who was more than an ordinary person, Liu Xingxing specially prepared a lot of food and stored it in her storage ring before setting off, just in case.

Just then, it was lunchtime, and Fu Hua went out again. I wanted to take this opportunity to quickly finish my meal, but I didn't expect Fu Hua to come back so soon, and it seemed that he was with another person.

Liu Xingxing sensed it as soon as she reached the door.

As soon as Fu entered, Xin Feitian saw two unfamiliar faces in the hall and immediately became wary. However, he then remembered what Fu Hua had just said.

It wasn't her hallucination; the person really existed.

Liu Xingxing put down her chopsticks, led Shao Ming, who was still not full, to stand up generously, and glanced at the man Fu Hua had brought.

"I presume this is Your Excellency? I am Liu Xingxing, and he is..."

"Shao Ming?!"

Xin Feitian suddenly interrupted her, his tone full of disbelief.

"I already said, he is Shaoming. Doesn't he look a lot like Ah Huan?"

Every time I look at his face, I feel as if Ah Huan is still alive.

Xin Feitian rushed over to Shao Ming, and with a slightly excited expression, pulled him over and looked him up and down.

This action clearly startled Shao Ming, who could only look at Liu Xingxing with pleading eyes.

However, Liu Xingxing did not stop Xin Feitian from investigating.

Yes, it's clearly a probe, probably to prevent someone from using illusion magic to impersonate him.

After looking him over two or three times to make sure it wasn't some kind of secret technique or face-changing magic, Xin Feitian finally let him go, though he still couldn't quite believe it.

"It was clearly Hua'er who personally protected her, and she never made a mistake... So who is that person in the palace now?"

"May I say a few words?"

Liu Xingxing, who was standing to the side, spoke up. Xin Feitian noticed that there was another outsider present and then looked her over.

And who are you, sir?

"Shaoming's friend and half-benefactor."

Liu Xingxing didn't like his overly direct scrutiny, and her voice deepened.

Xin Feitian felt a bit more wary of this young girl. For some reason, she gave him a strange sense of oppression.

He stood three meters away with his hands behind his back, adopting the demeanor of a lord, and said, "Two outsiders entered this palace without any reaction from its restrictions, and no one knew about it. Your strength is indeed remarkable."

"Although I am in the heart of this desert, I am quite knowledgeable about the outside world, but I have never heard of your name."

Someone even he couldn't see through could definitely not be an unknown nobody; this Golden Core cultivation level was absolutely faked.

Who knows, maybe they even did something to her face, but he really couldn't see anything unusual about it.

Liu Xingxing smiled slightly. Sure enough, dealing with people with high cultivation levels is troublesome. After all, Xin Feitian is a lord of a region, and judging from his appearance, he is also a Nascent Soul level figure.

At this level, one's perception of the surroundings is far beyond what ordinary people can achieve.

"Your Majesty, you only need to know that I will not harm your royal family. Just consider it my good intentions. Excessive investigation is not good for anyone."

Conversations between experts are always left listeners bewildered.

However, Liu Xingxing made her meaning very clear: if Xin Feitian insisted on getting to the bottom of things, then she wouldn't be surprised if she revealed her true identity.

That would cause another uproar, which would be quite troublesome, since her status would cause a stir wherever she went.
