The Soldier King Becomes a Useless Little Girl-Chapter 863 - 861: The Other Side of Gui Hu

Xin Lin arrived at the palace gate, where Little Xinzhuo was already waiting.

"Sister, it’s good that you’re here."

Little Xinzhuo presented the Empress Dowager’s mandate and led Xin Lin into the palace.

Along the way, those guards were quite polite to Little Xinzhuo.

"Ah Zhuo, it seems like you’ve been doing well in the palace lately."

Xin Lin said with a smile.

"Thanks to your help, Sister. My mother has earned the Empress Dowager’s favor. The people in the palace are very opportunistic, and now that they see we have support, they are eager to curry favor with us."

Little Xinzhuo had a look of helplessness on his face.

When he was Ah Piao, he thought being human was great.

Now it seems that being Ah Piao was much simpler and purer than being human, at least he didn’t have to wear a mask to be human.

"Do you regret entering the palace?"

Xin Lin looked at Little Xinzhuo.

"I don’t regret it. At least after entering the palace, I have my own family, I have you and mother, I can continue to grow stronger to protect you and mother, just like Brother Corpse King said."

Little Xinzhuo said earnestly.

Xin Lin was taken aback.

Little Xinzhuo then mentioned that for a while, he was bullied at Qingtian Academy, and during the time he was injured, he was very depressed.

He didn’t want to worry Xin Lin and their mother, so he kept it to himself.

Fortunately, later Brother Corpse King encouraged him.

He told Little Xinzhuo that in his early years, he too was bullied, but he didn’t give up, he kept cultivating, and finally one day, he defeated all those who bullied him.

"Big Brother said, as long as you work hard enough, there will come a day when you become a True Dragon among men."

Little Xinzhuo waved his fist.

The Pride Corpse had changed, or maybe he was harsh only to her but kind to others?

Xin Lin thought a bit sourly.

"True Dragon among men?"

Xin Lin’s heart stirred.

How could she forget something so important?

"Ah Zhuo, where is the Longteng Stele?"

Xin Lin remembered the Dragon Vein that Gui Hu mentioned earlier.

She already had a small part of the Dragon Vein; if she could obtain more and refine it, she would most likely be able to absorb the Dragon Vein.

Gui Hu suspected that part of the Dragon Vein was within the Longteng Stele.

"Longteng Stele? I think it’s on Qingque Platform, where father has been hosting guests these past few days. Speaking of which, I saw Uncle Beiqing there too. Sister, why did you suddenly ask about the Longteng Stele?"

Little Xinzhuo was puzzled.

Wasn’t Sister here to make Spiritual Food?

"I have to find a way to see that Longteng Stele. Has anything unusual happened since my father entered the palace?"

Xin Lin asked.

To her knowledge, Young Master Tu was also present this time.

That fellow Yang Su was likely a minion of Young Master Tu, and Xin Lin worried that after Yang Su’s incident, Young Master Tu might make other moves.

"Father has been having the eunuch chamberlain accompany Uncle Beiqing, so there should be no issues."

A few days ago, the banquet held at the Imperial Palace was not the main banquet; besides Empress Feng and a few members of the Imperial Family like the Third Prince, most Princes and the Empress Dowager did not attend directly.

Today is different; it’s Emperor Longteng’s birthday, the main banquet, with the most guests attending.

So, Little Xinzhuo and Chu Beiqing both had to attend.

After Little Xinzhuo took Xin Lin to the Imperial Kitchen, he had to get ready. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"Since that’s the case, you should go back. Be careful during today’s birthday banquet to avoid giving people something to talk about. I will find a way to locate the Longteng Stele myself."

Things must be prioritized, and Xin Lin knew that the most important thing for now was to reach the Imperial Kitchen and figure out the origin of that Xuan Spirit Beast.
