Chapter 799 - 723: You Seem to Have Some Misunderstandings about the Pet! _2

The Emperor was also aware of this plan, and if he truly agreed to it, it would make him seem self-centered.

He was initially hesitant, but now that Dugu Xiao also said they should break out from here, he felt more certain.

Dugu Xiao said, "I once had the same thought as the National Master. However, I recall Old Seventh mentioning something. He said that as long as the Princess awakens, she would have a way to help us send out a message. I wonder if this is true?"

Hearing someone mention her name, Xiaosuisui lifted her head from where it was buried in her bowl of rice, blinked, and asked, "What message?"

Hearing her words, Dugu Xiao asked in disbelief, "Can the Princess truly send out a message?"

Xiaosuisui said, "That depends on who it’s for. If it’s for my eldest maternal uncle and the others, then there’s no problem. If it’s for people I don’t know, it probably won’t work!"

After hearing her words, the Emperor asked in confusion, "How do you send messages? Why does it depend on the person?"

Xiaosuisui pouted and didn’t speak.

Ji Youzhi, however, said, "Why are you so curious about everything? As long as the message can be sent out, does it matter who it’s for?"

Dugu Xiao looked troubled and said, "In that case, we can only adopt the National Master’s plan: break out in two groups!"

Xiaosuisui blinked and asked, puzzled, "Why? You just said everyone should break out together."

"That’s right. My original idea was for everyone to break out together. Then, we’d have Deputy General Wang lead the 2,000 Elite Soldiers, who just returned from sea, to reinforce us at the foot of the mountain. That way, we would have no problem breaking out together."

Xiaosuisui blinked, thought for a moment, and said, "Oh! If you want to notify Deputy General Wang, that’s also possible!"

Dugu Xiao looked at her, overjoyed. "Is the Princess serious?"

"I’m a good baby who never tells lies."

Ji Youzhi patted her head and chuckled. "Our Suisui is indeed very good."

"Alright then, we’ll entrust everything to the Princess." Dugu Xiao bowed deeply to Xiaosuisui.

Xiaosuisui accepted it without ceremony.

"Write down all the details and give them to me. When the time comes, I’ll have Xiaoqing fly and deliver it to Deputy General Wang!"

"Xiao... Xiaoqing?"

Everyone was baffled, looking at her in confusion.

Xiaosuisui touched her head and giggled. "It’s just a small pet of mine!"

Those who knew Xiaoqing thought: You seem to have a misunderstanding about what a ’small pet’ is!

"Isn’t your flying pet Dafeng? Flying is currently prohibited on this Gufeng. Otherwise, we wouldn’t need outside reinforcements; we could break out ourselves."

Xiaosuisui blinked, smacked her lips, and scratched her head, a little embarrassed. She said, "My Soul-Calling Bell is still trapping Xunyang’s Clone! Wait until I destroy that wisp of his Divine Soul that can move about outside, and I reckon the flight-restricting Array will automatically disappear."

"Are... are you serious?"

Everyone stared at Xiaosuisui with horrified awe.

Is this really a child not yet five years old?

For the past few days, the National Master had often scouted around that large bell, trying to investigate. However, he couldn’t even get close to its golden glow.

"I’m a good baby; I never tell lies!" Xiaosuisui patted her little chest and said in her sweet, childlike voice.

Her adorable appearance made everyone beam!

Of course, what delighted them most was what she had just said: that she could eliminate the wisp of Xunyang’s Divine Soul active outside.

"Come, come! Eat quickly, eat more."

Instantly, everyone rushed to put food into Xiaosuisui’s bowl, piling it very, very high. Xie Pan’Er, watching this with a developing headache, quickly cautioned, "Slow down, everyone. The bowl is too full; Suisui doesn’t even have a place to put her chopsticks."

"It’s alright, I’ll feed her!"

Princess Ata quickly picked up the bowl in front of Xiaosuisui and began to feed her personally.

Xiaosuisui beamed with delight, GIGGLE GIGGLE, her laughter crisp and sweet, a joy to hear.

「Inside the house」

Li Yanyan was grinding her molars so hard they almost shattered. Tears streamed down her face as she sobbed uncontrollably.

Hearing Xiaosuisui’s GIGGLES, she quickly covered her ears.

Don’t listen, I can’t listen! Li Suisui is a jinx! She was born to be my bane! If it weren’t for her, Master wouldn’t have punished me!

"Take your hands down!"

Suddenly, the National Master walked in from outside, stood behind her, and ordered sharply.

"Mas... Master!"

"Do you know where you went wrong?"

The National Master’s voice was unhurried, but his tone was displeased, and Li Yanyan sensed it.

She slowly turned around, her head bowed, not daring to look at the National Master. "I... I don’t know!"

"You don’t know! What a fine ’I don’t know’! Your greatest fault is this ’not knowing.’ You always claim you ’don’t know.’ Since you know nothing, why do you constantly claim the Princess stole your things?"

Li Yanyan said, "It was my Grandma who said it, and my mother too! They said Li Suisui is a jinx; no one in the family likes her! She caused the death of my eldest uncle and her own mother. My third aunt was pregnant with a little boy! It was because she went to my third aunt’s house that my third aunt had a miscarriage! After that, there was no little boy. Then, my third aunt broke her leg. Even now, my third aunt still walks with a limp!"

Li Yanyan felt deeply wronged.

I didn’t do anything wrong, so the National Master shouldn’t blame me.

She blurted out everything she had been told.

The National Master listened, shaking his head, and sighed inwardly.

What kind of family could raise such a ruined child?

"Everything you’ve said is baseless nonsense. Everyone has their own destiny. However, there are undeniably people who are blessed with great fortune, like the Princess, and like you. But possessing great fortune also brings great responsibility!

Look at yourself. Since you began your cultivation, what have you done? What have you learned?

Then look at the Princess. What has she done? And what has she learned?

And who are the people around her?

If you continue to measure the Princess by what your grandma and your mother say, and if your tongue remains so reckless, then should you cause a great disaster in the future, know this: no one in this world will be able to save you!"
