Imperial Treasure

Chapter 1591 - 930: Where Etiquette Lies

Previously, Sui Yi did not disclose the importance of Dou Tian Shu in front of those people, for fear of scaring them to death, which would instead hinder their performance and might even scare them into fleeing.

Moreover, this statement involves the Main World, and she doesn’t expose the High Priest, so naturally, she cannot make them believe her, so it’s better not to say anything.

It’s just... she still didn’t expect Dou Tian Shu to undergo Spiritual Transform.

This makes the situation far more unpredictable than originally anticipated.

"But, according to Zhao Mo, Zhao Nian seems to be just like an ordinary child. Has he not awakened yet?"

Sui Yi nodded.

"Any non-inherently endowed creature, when deriving from an instrument to a Spiritual Body, mostly has a latent period. The more powerful, the longer the latent period... Unless externally activated."

Externally activated?

So, Agoleus wants to control Dou Tian Shu, he must cause Zhao Nian to awaken....

What means to use?

Jade Bi?

The discussion went back and forth without reaching a conclusion, but midway, everyone saw the news on the computer.

Compared to the battle in Brooklyn District, this news hotspot was surprisingly overshadowed by just two simple words from Black.

Everyone was surprised by this, although unlike Sui Yi’s lack of concept about Black, the others were quite familiar with him.

"Black... I’ve always believed that in this world, the one who receives the most faith isn’t the Pope but Black... Sui Yi, you’ve met Black, right?" Gong Jiu had no intention of teasing Sui Yi at this moment, just purely chatting, as she was a fan of Black too.

"Mm... I met him with Li Luo on Broadway."

"Isn’t he more beautiful in person?"

"Mm?"

Sui Yi recalled for a moment... then laughed: "I didn’t see him up close; from afar... he indeed seemed beautiful."

That kind of beauty disregards both Chinese and Western aesthetic standards, leaving an unforgettable impression with just a fleeting glance.

"He must be beautiful... think about it, to keep Edward by his side and attract Agoleus’ admiration, how could he be ordinary... but I heard he would be invited to Empire Era events..."

"Certainly, this exhibition isn’t entirely targeted at us Martial Artists; after all, Skeleton Society and the Vatican are aiming for world dominance. Everyone in high society has been invited... Cao Ling said even the Duke and Duchess went..."

Sui Yi looked at the tall buildings outside the window, New York’s night scenery is quite different from that in her country. Yet in her heart, she was thinking about that once-glorious dynasty... Empty Court, Royal court, and her and Yue....

Sui Yi subconsciously lowered her eyes.

On the other side.

In an inconspicuous tavern in New York, because of the prevalence of Martial Arts, Medieval Adventurer Taverns have become popular—crowded, lively, surging...

Zhuang Ziliu looked at his sister for a while before speaking, "I’m glad you’re still willing to see me."

Yi frowned at his words.

"What did you do?"

Yi’s rhetoric could be explained as—what did you do to her again?

Yi has never had much sympathy for others; no matter who Zhuang Ziliu harms or kills, it can’t shake her much. Her bottom line is Sui Yi.

Zhuang Ziliu knows this.

"You seem to protect her..." Zhuang Ziliu said with a faint smile.

Yi lowered her gaze: "If you have two cookies, I have one, she should at least have one too, you have no right to say that."

Zhuang Ziliu froze for a moment, then lowered his head to drink his coffee, "That was childhood stuff. Now we’re grown up, and it’s not up to me to do anything for her anymore..."

"Are you still working for Wu Jue?"

"Mm"

"Will she come this time?"

"What do you think?"

Yi pursed her lips, not speaking.

Zhuang Ziliu also knew there’s nothing more to talk between them.

Zhuang Ziyi stood and was about to leave.

"Xiao Yi"

Yi turned her head and saw Zhuang Ziliu taking out a package, seemingly containing a wooden box inside, from his backpack.

"For you"

Yi glanced at him, reached out to take the bag, and left.

Zhuang Ziliu watched her departing back until it disappeared from his sight....

In the shadow, a person appeared.

A white-haired individual, sitting where Yi had just sat.

"Your sister is quite formidable"

"She has already sensed my presence"

Zhuang Ziliu glanced at Shen E and said indifferently, "I’d rather she didn’t have such ability"

Shen E chuckled freely, "Then you really can’t be considered a good brother"

"Same here"

Both brothers laughed, but the humor didn’t reach their eyes.

Neither are good brothers indeed.

When Yi returned, everyone was already asleep, only one person sat on the sofa.

It was Sui Yi.

Hearing the sound, Sui Yi got up, went to the kitchen, and brought out a bowl of still warm soup.

"Changan made snow pear soup, drink it."

The moment Yi finished changing shoes, she glanced up at her, walked over, and placed the bag at the side.

"He gave it to me, not sure what it is, perhaps some important item, have a look."

Yi said this while sipping pear soup, and Sui Yi was surprised, Liu?

Sui Yi took out the box and opened it.

After a silent pause, she pushed one end of the box towards Yi.

"Indeed very important."

Inside was a box of still warm cookies.

Yi blinked in surprise, then lowered her gaze, silently sipping the soup as she murmured, "Will he die?"

"No."

Sui Yi picked up a cookie, smiling slightly, "Wu Jue isn’t that foolish."

Sui Yi meant that Zhuang Ziliu had personal capabilities, and judging from his character and style, Wu Jue had a taste for him.

But Yi thought...

"Indeed, only those who die are worth remembering; she won’t give him this chance."

At this point, Sui Yi paused with a cookie in hand, what does this mean?

"I and Wu Jue..." Sui Yi hesitated for a moment, then said, "In a sense, are one person, so..."

"There’s a phrase called ’you reap what you sow.’"

Reap... sow...

Sui Yi took a while to understand the rich meaning of this phrase, she couldn’t help but silently look at Yi, when did this person become so corrupt?

No, why did she spend today explaining her lack of relations with just anyone...

The impending war approaches, yet this night it seems everyone sleeps soundly.

And on the other side...

Pu Qinghan spent ten years becoming part of Central Plains’ upper class and a member of the world-class elite. Naturally, she received invitations; however, as a star figure, it’s not appropriate for people like Sui Yi to pick up at the airport, so she settled with her team at the hotel arranged by the company—even if she has a residence in New York.

However, due to the large team size and other big-name stars from home also receiving invitations, staying at a hotel is the best choice to avoid trouble.

After texting Sui Yi in the hotel, she went to shower and stood before the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the enormous city outside. She heard her assistant from behind say, "Qinghan, your constitution is much better now; after such a long flight, you don’t seem tired at all, not like before."

Even the agent mentioned this point.

Pu Qinghan softly smiled; if these people knew she was no longer human and had reached the Void-breaking level, they’d probably be frightened.

However...

She looked out the window.

How wonderful.

She was no longer that weak existence oppressed by the powerful and powerless to resist.

"Only time shall not be wasted."

She softly recited this phrase, closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, her gaze turned towards the glass, reaching tens of thousands of meters away...

Inside a building, a high-rise third-floor duplex apartment; it was Yhan Qingwu’s residence; she had stayed there when she visited New York previously. At this moment, inside the third-floor room...

She saw Sui Yi standing before the window, smiling at her.

She smiled back.

Good night.

The World Trade Center, on this day, dubbed by world media as the most memorable day in three hundred years and the most glorious day, for today the tower will gather the global elite for a top-tier meeting.

An entire night of preparation, a thousand-meter-long red carpet, but a thousand meters long queue of media reporters.

At this moment, it’s only the morning of September 11th at seven o’clock.

The event begins at noon.

The red carpet walk starts at ten.

At seven o’clock, seven or eight blocks away from the World Trade Center, inside the Four Seasons Hotel’s twelfth floor.

Inside the presidential suite, a group of people is bustling about,

As Pu Qinghan emerged wearing a Prada evening gown, sitting while reading a book, Sui Yi glanced up.

She looked over, smiled, "Very beautiful."

Pu Qinghan chuckled, "I’m afraid in your eyes, there’s nothing that isn’t beautiful."

"There is, Fat Gao," Sui Yi replied earnestly.

Fatty Gao, who was munching breakfast beside them, rolled his eyes and said to Ye Zixu next to him, "I’m not unattractive, just fat; if you were as fat as me, you surely wouldn’t look better."

Ye Zixu: "Can’t gain weight."

What a sharp retort, damn!

They were sitting here early to... Fatty Gao turned to gaze at the beauty that outshone nature’s splendor, Pu Qinghan, and found it strange, despite her fame as a film queen, they had developed immunity after seeing her many times at Zhiyuan Mansion. But after that day in Peach Blossom Source, looking at her again... well... it seems something changed, although he couldn’t pinpoint exactly what, only that her allure far surpassed before, making hearts race even with a mere glance. Just like now, when Pu Qinghan glances back with a smile, Sui Yi and Ye Zixu were fine, but everyone else of flesh and blood was captivated.

Sui Yi knew it was the influence of the Yuezhuo, as after all, coming from Phoenix lineage makes one born with inherent nobility, not something mere mortals can resist.

This hadn’t even been when Pu Qinghan changed her true form; if she released her true form and then transformed into that shape, it might be even more astounding.

"Hey, there’s still some time, Miss Sui, do you need..."

The agent and the others knew Sui Yi’s identity, as she was the top BOSS, thus deserved attentive care. Seeing her in simple flat shoes, light blue jeans, and white shirt... beautiful though it was, definitely inappropriate for today’s occasion.

"She doesn’t need it." Pu Qinghan brushed away a strand of hair, looked at Sui Yi, and said, "In today’s occasion, some people are inherently etiquette itself."

As Pu Qinghan reminded them, everyone snapped back, realizing indeed, at today’s event, whether celebrities, luminaries or wealthy people, everyone needs to dress up to avoid embarrassment.

But have you ever heard of a Void-breaker dressing up for a gathering to avoid embarrassment?

They are etiquette itself.
