“？！”

Cheng Gujian turned his back to the door, and when he heard Xia Wuwu's words, he hurriedly looked back.

There was only one old man in sight.

Old man in a wheelchair.

The old man was alone, with his legs covered with a blanket, and he fell in the huge palace, looking quite small.

At first glance, it even looks like a lonely old man, which makes people feel a little pitiful.

But when he saw him, Cheng Gujian felt a little palpitating.

When did this man appear? I didn't notice it at all!

With his level, he doesn't have any perception, either the other party is really no threat, or he is really stronger than him.

Better than him, what level does that have to be?

Cheng Gujian was absolutely reluctant to think in this direction, but the latter was definitely more likely - because the appearance of the old man here was a strange thing in itself.

Xia Wuwu came to the palace early in the morning to ambush, of course, her appearance was not unexpected, and even when Cheng Gujian first entered the palace, he sensed her presence.

But this old man is not! It was obvious that he had come here through the layers of blockade outside the palace gate, if he was really just an ordinary old man, how could he do this?

It has long been chopped into meat sauce by the guards outside the door!

So.

He froze in place for a moment, not even knowing what to do.

“…… Xia girl, what do you call me? ”

At this moment, Wen Shengkui opened his mouth first, as if he was very dissatisfied with Xia Wuwu's title, and frowned unhappily.

"Mr. Wen...... Ah no, no, grandpa. ”

Xia Xiaomei came back to her senses, hurriedly waved her hand to change her words, and came behind Cheng Gujian when he was down, "Why did you come here?" ”

"You think I'm willing to come?"

Old Man Wen was still angry, and muttered angrily, "Xu Shi's bastard kid has a lot of ability to cause trouble, and he can't take care of himself after making such a big mess, so I can't wipe his ass?" ”

"Yes, yes, he's going a little too far."

Xia Wuwu smiled and said, "I have wronged your old man, I apologize to you for him." ”

At least you can send someone to take care of it sometime!

No matter how powerful the old man is, it's too rude to let the family come alone!

"That...... Xia Shiniang, who is this? ”

Dongfang Xiao came back to his senses after realizing it, "Yes...... Your grandfather? ”

“…… Xu Shi's grandfather, to be exact. ”

Xia Wuwu looked back and smiled, and explained in a good mood.

But with her relationship with Xu Shi, of course it's not wrong to call her grandfather.

"Oh......"

The little empress nodded suddenly, and understood that even when she faced Cheng Gujian just now, she still gave people a feeling of fearlessness.

Apparently because she already knew that there was a backer to move, even if this old man really didn't look very strong.

Good guys, and masters?

What she didn't know was that Xia Wuwu didn't know that Wen Shengkui would come at first.

Or maybe before the fight started today, Xu Shi didn't even tell her what the specific plan was - at that time, he was still splitting with Xie Qingyan, and no party knew what he was thinking, and she was just arranged to the palace to ensure Dongfang Xiao's safety.

It wasn't until the battle on the Holy See's side was over that she didn't know that it was not only cargo ships coming from the docks, but also the reserve reinforcements of Night Sin City, Su Lin, Tang Shuang, or something, otherwise it would not have been possible for the matter over there to be ended so easily and quickly.

It was also from that time that she thought about whether her grandfather and his old man would also come?

This is almost a sure thing, after all, if she is alone, if something really happens to the royal family, it is completely impossible to compete with Cheng Gujian.

Even if they are combined, they may not be able to do it, and the strength of the other party is here.

In this case, if you want to take this opportunity to pocket the entire Hualan Empire, you must at least have an SS-level commander.

This is not a distrust of Xia Wuwu, but to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

It can't be Xia Ke'an's kind of SS, where will the old aunt fight? More mascot than mascot.

After thinking about it, I'm afraid that only Wen Shengkui is qualified - now that the crisis of the Holy See is lifted, he naturally wants to come here to solve the threat of Cheng Gujian.

has been by Xu Shi's side for so long, these things are really clear to Xia Kitten.

Of course, the little empress didn't think of it so deeply, but she also reacted thoroughly.

Although Xia Shiniang and Cheng Gujian looked fierce just now, in fact, the taste of the competition was heavier, obviously from the beginning, they didn't expect to win Cheng Gujian, and they improved themselves more by fighting with SS.

"You played well, it seems that you have been at sea for more than a year, and your growth is not small."

Wen Shengkui also commented on her battle, although no one arrived, but with his ability, it was easy to watch a remote live broadcast, "Xu Shi, that little bastard can't fight, I'm relieved to have you to protect him." ”

"But there are still areas for improvement, such as ......"

"Ahhh......h

Xia Wuwu's heart was overjoyed when he heard this, and he scratched his cheeks a little embarrassed, "Actually, I haven't done enough......"

It's no wonder that she can't find the north, and it may not be easy to hear Old Man Wen's praise than to hear Xu Shi's praise.

Not to mention what this is, this is the recognition of the elders!

Can someone else do it? Can't do it!

Xia Kitten, who has always been modest and introverted, is very proud.

When this battle is over, you must show off in front of the other little cookies!

The old lady is the first granddaughter-in-law to be officially recognized!

Hum!

It's a pity that this happy atmosphere was soon interrupted by the sound of Cheng Gujian's grinding teeth.

The ancient sword Dagong Bengbu lived.

One thing to say, as a great duke, he has long been able to be moody and moody for so many years, even if he forces the palace to rebel, he may not be able to see a trace of expression on his face.

But now he's really a bit of a breaker.

Just now Dongfang Xiao pointed his nose and scolded and sweared, what are you doing now?

I don't know, I thought it was a family reunion! Do you want to go to dinner together later?

I! In rebellion!

Nobody takes it seriously, does it?

I don't want to lose face?

“…… I forgot that I had business to do. ”

The sound of grinding teeth successfully attracted Wen Shengkui's attention, and he gestured to Xia Wuwu, "Xia family girl, you protect that little girl first." ”

"Wait until I'm done cleaning up here, and then I'll go to find that bastard boy at Xu Shi, let's say okay first, and then I'll teach him a lesson that you can't interfere."

"Yes."

Xia Wuwu nodded hurriedly, so she didn't interfere.

This has little to do with whether he loves Xu Shi or not, and no matter how much he loves Xu Shi, he can't deny the fact that the guy is very bad.

And she, including the other girls, has no chance to clean him up, and in the long run, everyone tacitly reached a tacit understanding.

It's rare to see Xu Shi deflated, this kind of drama is rare.

But now is not the time to talk about this, she knows that the next thing is no longer something she can meddle in, all she can do is protect Dongfang Xiao.

"Thank you, Master Xia."

The little queen thanked her.

"You're welcome, it's just that you're going to be in trouble when you die."

Xia Wuwu said bluntly, "It's good that Xu Shi has cultivated you for so long, if you change to a new person, won't you have to do duplicate work?" ”

“……”

Dongfang Xiao was speechless.

Although she also knew that this truth was indeed the truth, if Xu Shi won a big victory today, he could unilaterally tear up the contract, pull her down by the way, and replace her with a more reliable person of his own, or even he himself sat on the throne.

If that's the case, she will either lose her use value and "die of a violent illness" directly, or she will be raised in captivity by Xu Shi to be a star rage......

But don't say it directly! Isn't it good to give people some hope? Xu Shi should keep his promises...... Right?

In short, this Xia Shi Niang is also annoying enough!

Woo woo, I miss Master Xie, oh no, Sister Xie's first day.

When she secretly dropped the little pearl in her heart, Wen Shengkui finally faced up to her opponent.

"SS-class? No wonder that kid must call me. ”

His eyes returned to indifference, "Your name is Cheng Gujian?" It's nice to play against you. ”

"Come on, let me see how good you are."

“…… Then let's see the real chapter in your hands! ”

Cheng Gujian didn't talk nonsense, the spear rekindled the gray flames, and it was a killing move as soon as he made a move!

Of course, he also felt the crisis, and Xia Wuwu was a small fight, and the old man in front of him was not ordinary!

Although he doesn't put the opponent in the "God Realm", that is, SSS, but the opponent with similar strength to himself must also go all out!

The spear was like a dragon, and the enveloping offensive was much stronger than the one he faced Xia Wuwu just now, and even the surrounding space appeared with black spots, as if it had been completely destroyed.

In the face of the other party's offensive, Wen Shengkui also became serious.

"Defense."

The old man stood still and read softly.

In the next second, Cheng Gujian felt that there was a great resistance around him, and it was quite difficult to push forward for half a minute.

He frowned subconsciously.

He knew that Wen Shengkui's strength was not bad, but he didn't know anything about what the other party's ability was, and this shot also carried a lot of temptation.

So his ability ...... Is it protection?

Before he could confirm it, Wen Shengkui's voice came again.

"Death."

In an instant, Cheng Gujian felt that the air around him became cold, sticking to his body like a demon, constantly eating away at his vitality.

Bad!

Grand Duke Gu Jian's heart tightened, obviously he didn't expect the other party's ability to be domineering to this extent.

However, he was quick enough to respond, and with a long spear, a trace of gray air all over his body.

As the gray gas burned like a flame, his face was only slightly better.

“…… Xia Shiniang, what are they? ”

Dongfang Xiao blinked and asked suspiciously.

If she could watch the duel between Xia Wuwu and Cheng Gujian just now, now she really can't understand it at all.

Obviously, I didn't feel how earth-shattering the confrontation between these two people was, but there was a kind of weirdness that couldn't be said.

Xia Wuwu pursed her lips, but she didn't hesitate to explain it for her.

Old man Wen's ability of "knowledge is power" is of course clear, a year ago the riot in the city of sin, and the picture of him wiping out the S-level Long Tianding as soon as he raised his hand is still vivid.

Now it seems that in the year of going to sea, the old man's ability has increased again.

It is really not difficult for his ability to improve, as long as he maintains a normal intake of knowledge, he will definitely improve.

Although his hopes of hitting the SSS are slim due to physical reasons, there is no doubt that he is definitely the top group in the SS class.

At least now he has reached the realm of "following his words".

He said that if he wanted to defend, he would be able to establish an invisible absolute defense, and he said that if he wanted to die, death would come to Cheng Gujian's body unconsciously.

As for how Cheng Gujian defends, he uses the ability of destruction to forcibly destroy the "Words and Laws" - Wen Shengkui is using his own ability aura to launch all this, and in essence, he can still resist.

Of course, this is only because Cheng Gujian is an SS at the same level as Wen Shengkui, and there is no scum left who would have died long ago if he had been replaced by others.

The confrontation in the aura is relatively mysterious, and it is not within the scope of her expertise, but Xia Xiaomei can also feel how terrifying the silent confrontation between top combat forces is.

It doesn't have to be earth-shattering, but it must be meticulous, not letting go of any flawed details, they are so close but not affected at all, and even the slightest sense of oppression is the best proof.

If it were her, or Xu Shi Xie Qingyan, these S-level or even S+, it would be difficult to be so accurate.

“…… That's amazing, isn't it?! ”

The little empress couldn't understand it, but she was shocked, in her mind, Cheng Gujian's strength was already the top of the sky, but she didn't expect it to be even more terrifying?

Xia Wuwu was noncommittal, but she was more concerned about whether Wen Shengkui himself could afford it.

On the bright side, it is definitely the old man who has the upper hand now, but she also knows that with the other party's physical fitness, the ability to launch itself is a difficult thing.

If you can't completely defeat Cheng Gujian before reaching the limit, no matter how ruthless you suppress it, it's useless.

Fortunately, this worry seems to be a bit superfluous, although Wen Shengkui's state is visibly declining to the naked eye, but after all, he is still better.

As the third "death" judgment fell, the aura of destruction around Cheng Gujian's body was finally unable to parry.

The arrogance gradually dissipated, and he was uncontrollably bounced out, landing not far from Xia Wuwu and Dongfang Xiao.

The spear had long since been shattered, and the body of the Grand Duke of the Ancient Sword was like a porcelain doll, cracked.

The little empress swore that she had never seen him look so embarrassed.

She didn't expect that the other party's obsession would be so deep, even if it became like this, she still tried to kill herself.

"You ......"

He whimpered hoarsely and unwillingly, trying to throw the remnant blade in his hand, "just one step away...... Just one step away! ”

“…… Rebellious ministers and thieves, hopeless! ”

Looking at the remnant blade that fell at his feet, Dongfang Xiao trembled angrily, raised the long sword in his hand, and was ready to give him the final blow.

Now Cheng Gujian is at the end of his crossbow, not to mention others, even a child can easily take his life.

However.

At the moment when the little empress's sword was about to fall.

A voice came.

"I advise you not to do that."

Xu Shi and the others were late, "Or, at least listen to me first, and then it's not too late to kill him?" ”

"Brother Cheng, if you want to borrow my hands to finish this game of chess, I won't let you get your wish."
