He’s Super Sticky

“You dare to touch the emperor, what else do you not dare.” Xie Zhengyi didn’t say a word when he was hit by a cane. It doesn’t mean that the cane was beaten with no effort, on the contrary, the grand tutor used all his strength, so after hitting with the cane, the grand tutor was a little out of breath, and his body was even swaying a little because of excessive force.

The words of the grand tutor directly made the courtyard quieter, and the people on the side almost stopped breathing.

Xie Zhengyi, who knelt on the cobblestone ground, stretched out his hand to stabilize the grand tutor’s body. For the first time, his pair of deep black eyes like the sea revealed true emotions in front of people other than Bai Chen.

He looked at the old grand tutor, and said every word with seriousness and firmness: “I love him.”

The simple four words immediately made the old grand tutor violent again, raising the cane and hitting Xie Zhengyi again.

“I love him.” Xie Zhengyi said again.

“That’s how I taught you?” The old grand tutor looked at Xie Zhengyi when he talked to him, but the deep feeling in his eyes was still firm, the grand tutor’s eyes almost turned red. “He is the emperor, with a ten thousand gold body, and you are all men!”

“I love him.” The same firm words sounded again.

“You love him, you love him, is your love more important than1The chinese words meaning actually mean to not let someone down the Xie family ancestors?” The grand tutor shouted, “I shouldn’t have supported you to seize power at the beginning. Now that your power is large, look at what ridiculous things you have done?”

Xie Zhengyi pursed his lips and looked at the grand tutor stubbornly.

“Zhengyi, be good, listen to master words, don’t have any relationship with the emperor anymore, even if you have great power now, he is the emperor after all, and you are the minister, you two can’t be together, you both will be against the harmony of yin and yang.”

“Master, I love him, I want to be with him.” Xie Zhengyi said. Even in the face of his closest and most respected master, Xie Zhengyi did not intend to compromise on this matter.

“What did you promise me in the first place, ah?” The grand tutor heard Xie Zhengyi’s words, and the air in his chest immediately burned. “What did you kneel before the Xie family ancestors and promised to your parents? When the next generation of wise monarchs is cultivated, you will restore your identity. When the time comes, you will marry a wife and have children to succeed the Xie generations and let the Xie family be passed on. You are the only one in the Xie family, you can’t let the Xie family’s roots end here.”

Xie Zhengyi remained silent, his black eyes remained firm as before.

“You, you are going to anger me to death ah!” The old grand tutor’s eyes turned red with his trembling hands, he pointed at Xie Zhengyi, “You are going to be written into the history books for thousands of years, what do you want the world to think of you? What face do you want me to have after a hundred years to face your parents and grandfather!”

“It’s Zhengyi, I’m sorry, father,mother. I’m sorry, grandpa. I’m sorry, Xie ancestors. I’m sorry, master. Zhengyi will bear all the sin.” Xie Zhengyi stooped down and knocked his head on the ground three times.

He will bear everything, even if it will be overwhelming, even if it is intolerable in the world, he will be with his baby, no one can stop him.

“You, you!!!” The old grand tutor stood on the cane and panted violently, obviously angry at the stubborn Xie Zhengyi.

After a short while, the old grand tutor said: “Then have you ever wondered whether the emperor is willing or not!”

Since this way doesn’t work, then change to another way.

“He wants to.” Xie Zhengyi said with tenderness, a smile slowly floated on his expressionless face, making his whole person softer.

The old grand tutor’s heart sank again, he took a deep breath, trying to stabilize his mind, shouting at Xie Zhengyi: “Still uttering the same nonsense!”

“This is just the emperor being afraid of you so he compromised, you believe it?”

“You have seized the emperor’s power, made him just a mere figurehead, the emperor was just a decoration, do you think the emperor will love you as much as you do? Don’t forget, a month ago, the emperor still yelled and screamed at you, wishing to kill you, wanting to eat your flesh and drink your blood, he can’t wait to crush your bone to ashes, do you think the emperor will ever love you?”

“The emperor is forced to play with you! Zhengyi, be sober, when you drag the emperor from the peak of power, it is already impossible for you! The arrogance of the royal family does not allow the emperor to lie down under you!”

“You are trampling on the dignity of the royal family in his eyes, even challenging his prestige. Even if you assist the next generation of wise emperors in the future, even if you have the merit of raising a dragon, once you lose power, the royal family will not tolerate you in this world, nor can they tolerate this current emperor. The two of you are proof of the imperial shame.”

“Zhengyi, it is still not too late to stop, don’t you love him? Then why don’t you think about him more?”

“Master Tai, it’s too late.” Xie Zhengyi said, “The moment I fell in love with him, I won’t let go, Master Tai, you too know my temperament, and I’m pretty sure he didn’t play with me, he’s just like me, we both love each other deeply.”

“Devil, Devil ah!” The old grand tutor screamed mournfully on the cane.

“Moreover, power is now in my hands, as long as I don’t let go, even the next emperor can’t do anything to me. What’s more, if he wants me to support him to the top position, then he must be obedient, disobedient and want to rebel, then I will change him. The imperial family is not only one bloodline, many people want to be the emperor!” A sharp light flashed in Xie Zhengyi’s eyes.

“Evil creature!” the old grand tutor seeing that the talk is going nowhere, he screams, “Are you so capable now? Then have you considered the Xie family’s century old reputation? The Xie family has a hundred years of loyalty, and now that it came to you, you really put the Xie family on the charge of rebelling? Do you really want the Xie family to wean off children? I will kill you!”

Xie Zhengyi pressed his lips, after a while he said: “Xie family, I will vindicate, but that’s all!”

The old grand tutor looked at the child, who had been taught by himself, now he was so stubborn and rebellious that his breathing became rapid and his head was buzzing with anger.

“Master Tai, I have decided and will not change it.” Xie Zhengyi said word by word, “I will be with him, no matter what happens!”

The old grand tutor took two steps back after hearing the words, he knew that at this point, no matter what he said, Xie Zhengyi’s thoughts won’t be changed, and there is no other way. This is the child he taught with his own hands, he always goes with his ideas.

Once he makes up his mind, he can’t be able to pull back even with 800 horses.

The old grand tutor closed his eyes, his heart heavy and sad.

Obviously the scorching sun was in the sky, but it give people a cold dead silence.

After a while, the old grand tutor opened his eyes and turned to look at the old housekeeper on the side, “Old Chen, go and get the family law out.”

“Master!” The housekeeper was shocked.

“Go.” Old grand tutor shouted angrily.

The old housekeeper glanced at the old grand tutor, then at Xie Zhengyi, who was kneeling on the ground and still tall and straight, and sighed silently in his heart then turned around and left.

Not long after, the old housekeeper came back with a baby’s arm-thin cane whip on both hands, and stood silently in front of the old grand tutor.

The old man stretched out his hand to take the cane whip and looked at Xie Zhengyi, “I’ll ask you one last time, are you going to let go?”

Xie Zhengyi straightened his body, his eyes were firm, and he was silent.

‘Pa!’ A heavy whip hit Xie Zhengyi’s back.

“Don’t let go!”

Xie Zhengyi remained silent, his expression remained unchanged even if such a thick whip hit him.

‘Pa’, ‘Pa’, ‘Pa’

In the quiet courtyard, there was only the sound of the whip hitting flesh, which made people scared and couldn’t bear to look at it anymore.

But the person who was beaten didn’t say a word from beginning to end, and didn’t even frown.

Soon, his clothes were torn, looking through the torn clothes, lines of welts were crisscrossed on the bronze skin, bright red blood leaked from the welts, and was absorbed by the robe, making the black robe darker.

In the palace.

Bai Chen, who was coaxed to sleep by Xie Zhengyi, suddenly woke up from his dream. He clutched his chest, frowning deeply, with a pale face.

The system, which was still investigating the trouble outside and collecting information, felt Bai Chen’s emotions, and immediately returned to Bai Chen’s body.

The system looked at Bai Chen’s pale face and was extremely worried: [Little master, what’s wrong? Did you have a nightmare?]

Bai Chen gasped, shook his head, [It’s suddenly very uncomfortable here, it’s very painful.]

The system looked at Bai Chen’s clutched chest, and felt a thump in its heart, fearing that Bai Chen had thought of something suddenly.

Bai Chen put his hands on his chest and closed his eyes. After a while, he suddenly opened his eyes: [System, you help me to see what happened with Xie Zhengyi, is he okay or not?]

Could it be that something happened to Xie Zhengyi? Was it sensed by the little master?

This can’t work!

The godhead of little master has not yet healed, the seal has also become weak because of the damage to the godhead, he can’t be simulated.

The system quickly appeased Bai Chen, coaxing: [Little master, don’t think too much, Xie Zhengyi is surrounded by people, and every one of them is high in martial arts, nothing will happen, little master, don’t think too much, you are just having a nightmare.]

Bai Chen: [No, no.]

Bai Chen shook his head, opened the quilt, step on the floor barefoot, feeling anxious, he can’t remember Xie Zhengyi’s reminder to wear shoes whenever he got out of bed, so he get out of bed and rush out of Taiji Hall like that, [I’m going to go and have a look.]

The system was taken aback, and hurriedly stopped Bai Chen. According to its experience, based on the little master’s care for Xie Zhengyi and the bond between the two of them, that feeling is definitely true in all likelihood, but because it is true, it can’t let the little master go. If the little master sees a bad scene and stimulates the seal, the consequences will be unimaginable.

The system is running quickly: [Little master, be good, I will go and see, I am fast and will be back soon. Little master obediently waits for me here, waiting for me to bring back the news, okay?]

Bai Chen still wants to go out.

System: [Little master is obedient, what if you go out and Xie Zhengyi can’t find you when he comes back?]

Bai Chen hesitated immediately upon hearing this.

The system took the opportunity to say: [Little master, I’ll be quick, you are obedient and wait here, I will be back quickly.]

After that, the system flew out.

Bai Chen stood there, biting his lip.

Bi Luo and others who were guarding outside heard the movement inside and hurried in.

Bai Chen didn’t want to talk, so he just waved his hand to let Bi Luo retreat.

Bi Luo stood in place with some embarrassment, hesitating to retreat, Lord Qiansui had ordered her to take care of the emperor, at this moment, the emperor’s face was pale, something was clearly wrong, so how could she dare to retreat, helpless, Bi Luo could only kneel down on the ground, resolutely did not withdraw.

Bai Chen was anxious, so how could he have time to care about Bi Luo, he could only let Bi Luo kneel.

Fortunately, the system came back quickly.
