Yun Xiao walked to a secluded spot and finally breathed a sigh of relief, looking up at the sky speechlessly.
This brat dared to say he was picked up, she really didn't know who had the man named Ji Qingge act on her behalf to give birth to him.
Thinking about this made her feel a bit ashamed. Although there were many male gynecologists in modern times, she honestly wasn't used to it. It was out of desperation back then.
After going through so much trouble to give birth to him, the boy actually asked her if he was picked up. She really wanted to spank him. The thought alone made Yun Xiao slap the air twice, which made her feel a little better.
Yu Fan snuggled in her arms, "Mother's spanking was so light, I didn't feel anything." xxs壹贰
Behind them, Liu Xing, Jing Yun, and Zhui Feng and Zhui Yue quickly followed, speaking calmly, "Master, let us carry him."
As soon as Liu Xing finished speaking, he saw a chilling light shooting from the Crown Prince's narrow, peach blossom-shaped eyes. The light was exceptionally cold and did not resemble the gaze of a five-year-old child at all. However, they knew the Crown Prince was just precocious and liked to stick close to the Empress.
Before Yun Xiao could speak, Yu Fan obediently got off the ground.
"Mother looks tired, Yu Fan will run by himself."
With that, he ran ahead of everyone, following the crowd of people with swords and sabers towards Yuxuan Mountain Villa.
This Yuxuan Mountain Villa was the estate of Yi Yuxuan, the leader of the martial arts alliance. The martial arts大会 was to be held at Yuxuan Mountain Villa.
These people heading to Yuxuan Mountain Villa were all martial artists invited by the alliance leader. Prestigious sects like Wudang, Shaolin, Kunlun, and Kongtong were still the judges of this martial arts大会, naturally displaying their might.
From their attire and demeanor, it was evident that these major sects considered themselves superior.
This martial arts大会 was a challenge to the masters of various sects. The final round was a duel with the martial arts alliance leader Ye Yuyi. Whoever won would become the martial arts alliance leader for the year.
The position of martial arts alliance leader was for five years. If one willingly served, they could be re-elected. If one was unwilling to serve, a martial arts大会 could be convened to select another capable person whom everyone respected to assume this important responsibility.
Yuxuan Mountain Villa.
The entrance was bustling with activity, with luxurious carriages lined up. The steward led a line of servants to the entrance to receive guests.
Everyone staying at Yuxuan Mountain Villa had an invitation. The steward collected the previously distributed invitations and assigned servants, uniformly two men and four maids, to guide guests inside.
Yun Xiao and Yu Fan, along with their group, had no invitations, but they were not refused and walked in with righteous indignation.
After finishing with the people in front, the steward looked up at Yun Xiao and extended his hand for an invitation. Yun Xiao shrugged and looked at her son beside her.
Yu Fan smiled sweetly and said happily, "Grandpa, we have nothing."
"Nothing? Then you can only stay at an inn."
The steward immediately put on a displeased face. Those without invitations were considered low-class and therefore would not be received.
Yun Xiao and Yu Fan were not angry. The four subordinates behind them frowned, ready to teach this steward a lesson.
Yun Xiao held out her hand to stop them. The martial arts大会 had not even begun, and they had already caused trouble. Wouldn't that be bad? If it were anyone else, she would have taught them a lesson long ago, but this little Xuanxuan was one of her own. Shouldn't she at least show some respect to the martial arts alliance leader?
"We are friends of your alliance leader. Please ask him to come out and see us."
The steward was about to refuse outright, thinking that the alliance leader was not someone one could meet just by asking. However, a figure walked out from inside. He wore a grass-green robe with flowing lines like clouds, and he clasped his fists to greet the people in front of him.
Yun Xiao ignored him and raised her eyebrows, smiling as she called out.
"Little Xuanxuan, this young master has come to see you."
As soon as these words were spoken, the jaws of the people gathered at the gate, as well as the steward and servants, dropped. This person was clearly here to cause trouble, and they were about to order people to drive them out.
Who would have thought that the alliance leader's expression would change, and he would quickly walk over, saying respectfully, "Why have you come?"
After speaking, he lowered his head and looked at Yu Fan by Yun Xiao's feet. Who else could it be but the little Crown Prince? Why had these two great figures come to his territory to play? They were truly troublesome people. Moreover, they even called him "Little Xuanxuan." It would be hard for him not to become famous now.
Yi Yuxuan wore a bitter expression. Yun Xiao, unaware, continued to smile ingratiatingly, "Little Xuanxuan, this steward uncle said that Yuxuan Mountain Villa does not allow entry without an invitation."
Although her tone was pitiful, the steward broke out in a cold sweat. Anyone who could call the alliance leader by such a nickname so brazenly must have a significant background. It seemed he had offended them earlier. He didn't dare to say a word.
At this moment, Ye Yuxuan suddenly turned back and glared at the steward furiously, "You scoundrel, how could you be rude to such a distinguished guest?"
The steward's mouth twitched blankly. He was acting according to the villa's rules. He had no idea where these two divine figures, one big and one small, had appeared from.
Regardless, seeing how respectful his master was towards this handsome young man, this guy must be very formidable, perhaps even more so than those from Wudang and Shaolin.
Yi Yuxuan personally greeted Yun Xiao and Yu Fan and their group into Yuxuan Mountain Villa. He then led the two of them into the best separate courtyard in Yuxuan and settled them down. Then, he asked cautiously, "May I ask what brings the Empress here this time?"
Yun Xiao glanced at the man sideways, inwardly snorting. Was she that terrifying?
This boy had an expression as if she were a plague god, but she was smart enough not to say anything. Yu Fan, on the other hand, looked smug.
"Mother said she wants to try her hand at snatching the title of martial arts alliance leader."
"No way."
Yi Yuxuan's face truly turned bitter. It seemed the Empress had been too bored lately.
Over the years, Dong Qin had been governed to become increasingly prosperous and powerful, which was evident to everyone in the world. Perhaps she had nothing else to do, so she came to the Jiangnan region to seek entertainment.
"The Empress is of noble birth."
Yi Yuxuan was startled, and his face turned pale. He just wanted to roar to the heavens, "Your woman is causing trouble again! Where are you, man?"
"What noble birth or ten thousand gold? You can go about your business. I'm just here to watch the fun."
Yun Xiao waved her hand, looking unconcerned, as if she had no intention of snatching the martial arts alliance leader. Yu Fan, at her side, pursed his lips and smiled.
Yi Yuxuan felt a prickle of unease, unsure if this woman's words could be trusted. He looked at her with suspicion.
Yun Xiao glared coldly, "What are you looking at? I'm hungry. Is this how your Yuxuan Mountain Villa treats its guests?"
Upon hearing this, Yi Yuxuan quickly called out to the gate, "Someone, prepare the best wine and dishes immediately and take good care of our guests. If there is any slightest mistake..."
As Yi Yuxuan finished speaking, the maid's face turned a little pale. Yun Xiao waved her hand, saying nonchalantly, "Little Xuanxuan, don't make things difficult for the little maid. I'm not that delicate."
The young girl, who had been pale-faced, couldn't help but twitch her lips when she heard the alliance leader being addressed so familiarly. She was no longer that afraid.
