Eat Little Almonds
Chapter 470 An Liya, Stand Up! Qiao Yul Promoted to King Rank
The crowd exchanged strange glances.
Piss on the Divine Emperor's son? Who had the gall to do such a thing? Even a sparrow would have its little balls blasted off by the divine guards.
"Tian'e, why don't you do it? We don't dare to," Aye Fu said, scratching his head.
"Me? No, no!" Qiao Yu shook his head. "The Divine Son is a good boy, but I'm too jù (huge), he can't handle it."
The crowd exchanged glances again, wondering what "too jù" meant.
Fortunately, Kyle finally woke up, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Divine Son! You're finally awake!"
Qiao Yu excitedly grabbed Kyle by the shoulders.
"Don't worry, Divine Son, you're safe now! Take Hermes's legacy back, the Divine Emperor will be very happy. Divine Son, if you become rich and powerful, don't forget about us!"
"Become rich and powerful? But I'm already rich and powerful..."
Kyle looked bewildered, clearly not understanding the situation. Then he suddenly shuddered.
"I really didn't get the legacy! I swear to God!" Kyle shouted.
Qiao Yu gave him a knowing look.
"Don't worry, Divine Son, I understand!"
Then Qiao Yu looked up at the people of the Western Alliance.
"You all understand too, right?"
"Ah, yes, yes, yes!"
"Ah, understand, understand, understand!"
Everyone echoed, understanding that Divine Son Kyle had obtained the legacy but wanted to keep a low profile.
So, they all had a tacit understanding, keeping their eyes on their noses and their mouths on their hearts.
After Qiao Yu's little stunt, it was like dropping yellow mud into his crotch - even if it wasn't shit, it smelled like it. No matter how Kyle explained, no one would believe him.
Kyle wanted to cry but had no tears, grabbing his hair in frustration.
Just then, a warm hand patted Kyle's shoulder.
"Don't worry, Divine Son! Brothers in our hearts! Even if the whole world doesn't believe you, I believe you really didn't get the legacy!"
The powerful voice injected a shot in the arm to the despairing Kyle.
"Tian'e... you're so good..." Kyle's eyes glistened with tears. Was this the feeling of being believed? The feeling of being trusted was so good!
"Alright, alright, good, good, good."
Qiao Yu hugged Kyle with a doting look, gently patting him on the back. The grievances in Kyle's heart seemed to find a vent, and tears burst out.
Seeing this, Qiao Yu couldn't help but sneer in his heart. You silly child, I'm the one who framed you, how could I not know you didn't get the legacy?
After Qiao Yu's comfort, Kyle's emotions finally stabilized.
"Thank you, Tian'e!" Kyle wiped away the tears from his eyes, and his gaze towards Qiao Yu had changed slightly.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's all I should do. Now that you're okay, let's go back!"
Qiao Yu grinned from ear to ear. He had made a fortune in this Shanhai Relic. He had three king-tier thugs in Shan Xiao, Bifang, and Hua Huai, and he had also comprehended a trace of the Law of Power.
Not only that, but he had also buried the hatchet with Kyle. The Divine Son had become his good brother, and his relationship with the Divine Daughter was also rock-solid.
Wouldn't he be able to get whatever he wanted in the Western Alliance from now on?
The group happily returned to the Divine Emperor's Hall.
But as soon as he stepped into the Divine Emperor's Hall, Qiao Yu clearly felt that the atmosphere was not right.
Whether it was the Divine Emperor or the Grand Elder, their faces were uncertain.
"An Liya, I heard that you had a conflict with Gongzi Xing Cang and the others, and you even attacked Kyle?" The Grand Elder looked at An Liya and spoke lightly, his tone devoid of joy or anger.
"Yes... Grand Elder." An Liya did not deny it, but silently lowered her head and admitted her mistake.
"Stand behind me and go back to the Divine Mountain with me later." The Grand Elder's tone was calm, but An Liya's face instantly turned pale.
She bit her silver teeth tightly and walked silently behind the Grand Elder.
"Kyle, come over here." The Divine Emperor also spoke to Kyle.
"Don't worry, Tian'e, brothers in our hearts!" Kyle gave Qiao Yu a firm look, then turned and walked over without looking back.
The seven divine guards instantly protected Kyle in the middle like a rare treasure.
"Kyle, Hermes's legacy is on you, right?" Even with the status of the Divine Emperor, he couldn't help but be a little excited.
That was Hermes's legacy, the messenger of one of the twelve main gods!
"Dad..."
Kyle had just opened his mouth when the Divine Emperor's face suddenly turned cold. Kyle quickly changed his words.
"Divine Emperor, I didn't get any legacy! There's something strange about that bronze hall! I didn't get anything at all!"
The Divine Emperor's face changed, and then he carefully examined Kyle.
His strength was no better than Xing Cang and the others. If Kyle really obtained the legacy, he definitely couldn't escape his investigation. After all, he was Kyle's father, and he knew this son very well.
After the investigation, the Divine Emperor's face completely sank. He shook his head at the Grand Elder.
The Grand Elder's brows were also furrowed. His already wrinkled face became even more wrinkled.
He and the Divine Emperor exchanged glances, and then the two of them instantly made the same decision.
Since Kyle did not obtain Hermes's legacy, then they could not fall out with those people from the Ninth Universe!
There was only one eternal relationship in this world, and that was the relationship of interests.
Since they couldn't fall out, then this incident naturally needed a scapegoat!
Moreover, so many people from the Western Alliance died in this Shanhai Relic, and they also needed an explanation.
After a series of eye exchanges, the Grand Elder and the Divine Emperor's gazes instantly fell on Qiao Yu. No one was more suitable to be a scapegoat than this Tian'e, after all, he had participated in everything.
Facing the gaze of these two powerful experts, cold sweat instantly broke out on Qiao Yu's back.
He clearly felt that the air around his body seemed to freeze instantly, and the terrifying power made his body completely unable to move.
If the Grand Elder or the Divine Emperor wanted to kill him, he would probably be crushed into dust in an instant.
"I probably already understand the course of events. You're called Tian'e, right?"
The Grand Elder revealed a faint smile.
"You actually did a very good job, protecting Kyle and preventing Hermes's legacy from being taken away, and also letting the people of the Ninth Universe see the talent of my Kaiji Star."
"Although some students sacrificed themselves in the dungeon, after all, two king tiers were achieved, so their sacrifice was valuable."
"But unfortunately... you are not a king tier!"
The Grand Elder's tone changed, and his face suddenly turned cold.
"Tian'e, someone must be responsible for this matter, I hope you can understand. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for not being a king tier!"
As soon as the Grand Elder finished speaking, two divine guards walked towards Qiao Yu.
The strength of these two divine guards were both at the emperor tier, which Qiao Yu could not resist at all.
Kyle opened his mouth, then hesitated, and turned his head away.
Seeing this, An Liya did not hesitate at all. She took a step forward and knelt down towards the Grand Elder. She knew that if Qiao Yu was captured, he would definitely not survive.
"Grand Elder! Let Tian'e go! Although Tian'e is not a king tier, his strength is completely comparable to a king tier!"
An Liya quickly explained, but the Grand Elder's face did not change at all.
"His strength is comparable to a king tier, but he is not a king tier after all!"
"But Grand Elder..."
An Liya raised her face and wanted to say something more, but the Grand Elder's gaze made her swallow all the words that followed.
"An Liya, are you trying to disobey my orders?"
"An Liya... dares not!"
An Liya bit her red lips, lowered her head, and her eyes were a little red.
She felt a terrible discomfort in her heart. She didn't know what was wrong with her, but she had never felt this way before.
In the past twenty years, An Liya had never thought of disobeying the Grand Elder, but this time, she really felt a strong sense of rebellion.
After hesitating for a while, An Liya still couldn't muster the courage. She could only look at Qiao Yu with her beautiful eyes and whispered in a voice that only she could hear.
"Tian'e... I'm sorry..."
The two emperor-tier divine guards were getting closer and closer to Qiao Yu, and it seemed that they were about to capture him directly.
At this moment, a burst of wild laughter suddenly resounded in the Divine Emperor's Hall.
Everyone looked towards the source of the laughter, and the person who was laughing was Qiao Yu. He was laughing so hard that tears were streaming down his face.
"An Liya! Stand up! You don't need to beg for me!"
Hearing Qiao Yu call her name, An Liya's delicate body trembled, but for some reason, she had immense courage in her heart. Then, in front of the Grand Elder, she stood up!
Although An Liya lowered her head and walked behind the Grand Elder after standing up, a hint of gloom still flashed in the Grand Elder's eyes.
In the past, without his order, An Liya would not dare to get up from the ground at all.
"You should worry about yourself, An Liya, you don't need to worry about someone who isn't even a king tier." The Grand Elder said lightly.
"Who said I'm not a king tier?" Qiao Yu raised his head.
At the same time, the reminder sound from the Inner World sounded in his heart.
