<h4>Chapter 966: North Queen</h4>


    In the inner courtyard of North Battle Hall, the North King had just returned to the study room and saw Wu Ni standing outside the door. His brows raised up as he said, “Ni’er, what are you standing here for?”


    Plop!


    Wu Ni knelt on the ground on both knees and spoke with guilt on his face, “This child is here to seek punishment from King Father.”


    The North King’s brows raised up again before he walked straight into the study room and said indifferently, “Come in and exin. How can you simply kneel in public like this? A man’s knees are covered in gold. He must not kneel without an appropriate reason.”


    Wu Ni let out a long breath. It seemed like the North King wasn’t going to take out his anger on Wu Ni because of Jiang Yi’s matter. He then got up and walked inside before he bowed down and said, “This child is here to seek for punishment this time, for covering up the truth of something. For covering up the truth about... Su Ruoxue’s matter!”


    “En?”


    The North King’s eyes shed with cold light, but he wasn’t infuriated. He then said indifferently, “Continue.”


    Wu Ni replied respectfully, “Su Ruoxue is Jiang Yi’s woman. Back when Jiang Yi destroyed the Martial Arts Hall on Stersky Continent, Su Ruoxue had been captured and brought back to Chief Hall by the branch hall’s Saint Lady. Su Ruoxue had been held in Quiet Peace Temple all along, just to prevent Jiang Yi from attacking our Wu n. Jiang Yi’s father had died in our Martial Arts Hall’s hands, and his feud with our n is unsolvable. Hence, this child had made his own decision to keep Su Ruoxue in detention.


    “I didn’t expect that... more than one month ago, before Jiang Yi had attacked Flood Martial City, Su Ruoxue had suddenly gone missing. ording to this child’s investigation, Su Ruoxue should have been taken by the members of the Heaven Hidden Sect, and so this child didn’t dare to report this information. Of course, it didn’t matter if it was whichever reason; this child is still at fault. So, I am requesting for King Father to punish me.”


    Su Ruoxue was actually detained by Ji Tingyu, but Wu Ni’s exnation was obviously reserved. This exnation should have been taught by Ji Tingyu, and Wu Ni had also understood that he was the only one that coulde and report on this issue. If Ji Tingyu hade, she might just be instantly killed by the North King.


    After the North King finished listening to the exnation, he didn’t have any expression. He paused for a moment before asking, “Since you are here, you should have other things to say, right?”


    “Nothing can be hidden from King Father!”


    Wu Ni spoke with ttery before turning serious. “This child had been secretly making preparations and had found a woman that looks exactly the same as Su Ruoxue. I have also found another person who looks exactly the same as Qian Wanguan’s father, Qian Gui. This child has prepared a n to make use of these two individuals to negotiate with Jiang Yi. When Jiang Yies over to rescue them, we will take the opportunity to eliminate him.”


    “Exactly the same? Are you sure?”


    The North King’s brows raised up as he spoke coldly, “I might not have met with Jiang Yi before, but if he could mess up our Wu n into such a pathetic state, he must not be ordinary. If this n isn’t executed properly, it might end up even worse.”


    Wu Ni’s heart had a slight delight. Since the North King spoke like this, it meant that he had basically approved this n. Jiang Yi was currently appearing and disappearing unpredictably, and the Wu n had no way to deal with him—unless the North Thearch made a move personally. However, this was just a minor issue, how could they request for the North Thearch to make a move?


    If this was made known to the world, the Wu n would suffer even more humiliation. It also showed that the North King and the elders were incapable, and they couldn’t even kill a young man with the entire n’s strength and even had to activate the North Thearch? Was this not ridiculous? The North King reckoned that he would bepletely unable to lift his head anymore.


    Hence, unless necessary, the North King would never request for the North Thearch to make a move. A few besieged cities and dead people wasn’t a huge deal to the North King and wouldn’t waver the Wu n’s foundation. As long as they could kill Jiang Yi, this would be a small problem.


    Their current strategy to wait for Jiang Yi to appear had proven that they couldn’t kill Jiang Yi like this. Wu Ni’s n to lure the snake out of the hole had already been acknowledged by the North King.


    Wu Ni took out a set of information and exined it in detail. “King Father, Jiang Yi is indeed an extraordinary person, but only if he didn’t want to rescue these two people. Once he wants to rescue and negotiate, it would give us an opportunity. In appearance, these two individuals are exactly alike and had been verified by the Saint Lady from the Stersky Continent’s Martial Arts branch hall. Jiang Yi will never be able to differentiate from the appearance. During the negotiation, we can knock these two individuals out and make them unconscious, putting their soul spirit into stillness. He wouldn’t be able to differentiate them by soul spirit aura presence, too. We can then send these two individuals to him, and they will be the bait. If Jiang Yi wants to rescue the two of them, he must make an appearance, right? Once he appears, we will be able to act ording to the n and kill him. King Father, take a look at this n...”


    “Not bad!”


    The North King took the information and read it calmly and silently. After reading for one hour, he lifted his head and praised. Subsequently, he nced at Wu Ni with dull eyes and said, “This n is drawn up by that Stersky Continent’s Saint Lady, Ji Tingyu, right?”


    “Uh...”


    When Wu Ni heard the words ‘not bad’, he had immediately let out a bright smile. Right now, he was immediately frozen stiff. He rubbed his nose awkwardly and asked, “King Father, how do you know everything?”


    The North King let out an indifferent nce which made Wu Ni felt as though all his secrets had been seen through. He was just like a lying child that had been exposed by his father as Wu Ni’s face was filled with shame. Wu Ni silently thought that if his father had been able to rise above all countless Wu n’s genius young masters back then to be the North King, he must not have relied on luck.


    “Hmph!”


    The North King let out an indifferent snort, didn’t look at Wu Ni anymore, and simply lowered his head in silence. Wu Ni felt as though he was standing on a mat of needles as he didn’t even dare to let out a big breath. One hourter, the North King finally spoke, “You will go execute this n personally. I will give you full authority to do it. Do you have the confidence to do it well?”


    “Yes!”


    Wu Ni’s eyes lit up like the stars as his body shuddered emotionally. The North King was actually allowing him to carry out such an important n, meaning that Wu Ni’s status in the North King’s heart was already extremely high. Most importantly... if he could carry out this n wlessly, the position for the Young n Head wouldn’t be going anywhere else.


    The Wu n had been put into such a sorry state by Jiang Yi, and the North King was already at wit’s end. Right now, there was such a great n, but the North King wasn’t going to execute it himself and had allowed Wu Ni to do it? This was a chance for Wu Ni to show his capabilities to the world and to show the Wu n!


    If he was able to kill Jiang Yi this time, Wu Ni’s reputation would certainly be renowned. The North King wasn’t able to kill Jiang Yi, but Wu Ni managed to do it? The North King was using his own reputation to pave the way and build the bridge for Wu Ni. He was trying to support Wu Ni to be the Wu n’s Young n Head.


    “Thank you, King Father!”


    Wu Ni quickly understood it. This time, he didn’t kneel down but simply made a deep bow before he walked out silently. His footsteps were firm, his back was straight like the sword, and his face was filled with high spirits.


    “Ke-Ke!”


    The North King let out a rather gratified smile when he saw Wu Ni walking out. Wu Ni had indeed matured a lot after this year and had evenprehended a six-star dao pattern. Of course, the North King didn’t value strength but aura!


    A superior individual had to have the aura!


    The aura that would convince people, which was also known as the monarch’s aura, the hegemon’s aura!


    The Wu n was huge and aplished. They had countless capable individuals, experts with an overwhelmingbat strength, and people with extraordinary intelligence. A ruler of a n was like the marshal for an army. If the army’s battle strategies were nned by the strategists and the generals were the ones who carried out the n, what was the use of a marshal? A marshal was the army’s pir, everyone’s sky, a heart-strengthening shot that kept the army’s heart condensed together.


    As long as the heart of the army didn’t die, the army would be ever-victorious and would never sumb to attacks!


    “Ji Tingyu?”


    One of the North King’s rings lit up faintly as he retrieved a set of documents. The first page was Ji Tingyu’s portrait, and inside the documents were all her detailed information. The North King read for a moment and nodded his head silently. “This woman truly has almost demonic wisdom. En... you have yed a big role in Ni’er’s fast development. If you are able to kill Jiang Yi this time and continue to help Ni’er grow, this King will agree to let you be our Wu n’s crown prince’s concubine and the future North Queen!”
