Chapter 78 The Imperial Tutor's Pride Is Being Trampled on the Ground

"Let them come up; I still have some unsettled accounts with the royal family of Great Wei!" Yuan Hui stared at the wine bowl in his hand and muttered, "Xiao Yin, let me see what you've become now!"

There is a winding mountain road from the foot to the top.

A few men came up with blindfolds, and Jun Qingcang sneered, "Why, is your boss so wary of this Emperor?"

"This is the rule!" one of the bandits sneered in response.

"Hmm!" Baby Ruo Xi in the swaddling clothes hummed softly.

"Rules? I hate rules the most!" Baby Ruo Xi was furious, and the consequences were severe.

"Boom!"

The gatehouse in the mountains suddenly shook, and loose stones began to fall continuously.

The two men carrying the blindfolds were hit by the falling rocks on their knees and fell to their knees before Xiao Yin and Ci Xin.

A small demonstration, not bad!

Baby Ruo Xi had accumulated a lot of spiritual energy and merit over these days, specifically for using it against the bandits here.

The spiritual energy of the three-layered space tower could definitely flatten this entire mountain.

"Let's go, lead me in!" Xiao Yin's body tensed. He had never imagined that his little niece's cultivation was so powerful!

With his little niece's protection, Xiao Yin felt more confident about consolidating his imperial power.

Some bandits ran back to report to their leader!

The kneeling bandits stood up but dared not approach too closely due to the intimidating presence of the trio. They only held their machetes and surrounded Xiao Yin and Ci Xin, slowly moving up the mountain path.

"Boss, boss, those two are too powerful!" One of the bandits rushed to the top and saw their boss already standing at the railing overlooking below.

"How powerful?" Yuan Hui asked, his hands behind his back, eyes sharp.

The young bandit was startled by Yuan Hui's gaze and swallowed, saying, "Just now, when Brother Maizi was about to blindfold them, they suddenly knelt down. My arm was hit by a pebble, as if it had eyes!"

"Is the emperor of Great Wei that powerful?" other bandits frowned deeply.

"If he weren't powerful, how could he be the emperor?" Yuan Hui chuckled lightly, then paused and said, "His power lies in his bravery on the battlefield and his ruthlessness in battle. Even the Tartars beyond the border fear him. But I've never heard of him causing earthquakes or landslides!"

"Perhaps it's the Imperial Tutor!" the second-in-command of the bandits suggested, "I heard earlier that he kills without mercy. In the previous dynasty, he killed without blinking an eye in the palace. Because of his enchanting looks, many palace maids lusted after him. Those who tried to sneak into his bed were thrown out and skinned alive, turned into fertilizer for flowers!"

"That's just a legend. He has been personally trained by Bai Cangming since childhood, so his strength is indeed formidable!" Yuan Hui nodded and then said, "Let them come up first, and we'll see how things unfold."

"Hmph, set up a Dragon Gate formation. I don't believe two people can flatten our One Sky Pass!" the third-in-command sneered, disbelieving.

The path up the mountain was long.

Ci Xin took Baby Ruo Xi from Xiao Yin's arms.

"I want to lose weight; carrying Xi'er while walking helps!" Ci Xin said.

"Hah, I don't believe you!" Xiao Yin sneered but did not argue and led the way up.

Ci Xin walked slowly behind, his voice gentle and slightly seductive, asking, "Xi'er, what move did you use just now? Don't look at me like that. Your uncle is skilled but not very cultivated. I didn't do anything either, so don't deny causing the landslide!"

Baby Ruo Xi yawned!

"And how did you subdue that old monk Jing En?" Ci Xin was very curious!

"Hah, mind your own business! How can someone so enchanting be so nosy?" Our great demon lord doesn't like boasting.

Besides, knowing a baby is that powerful wouldn't be beneficial!

Ci Xin stared at the little girl and saw her close her eyes to sleep. He felt...

his pride was quite hurt!

For the first time, he failed to win over a girl with his beauty and gentle, magnetic voice!

Very hurt!

Baby Ruo Xi didn't care about his melancholy and simply took a nap.

Ci Xin certainly wouldn't abandon the little girl; he wanted to witness her strength!

Xiao Yin walked steadily up the steps, with the bandits not daring to get too close. He moved steadily.

From the top of the mountain came a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, the emperor of Great Wei, welcome!"

As the voice faded, something fell from the mountain.

"Hmph!"

Xiao Yin sneered, flicked his robe, and leaped up. Then, he reached out and caught a large bronze wine bottle.

"Yuan Hui, is this your way of welcoming guests?" Xiao Yin looked up and shouted coldly.

"Your Majesty, drink the wine in the bottle before coming up!" the deep voice echoed from the top.

"Emperor, let me handle this!" Ci Xin held the child in one hand and extended the other.

"Ha, just take good care of Ruo Xi!" Xiao Yin glanced at the baby in Ci Xin's arms, then lifted his hand, letting the clear liquor slide into his mouth.

The deep voice startled the baby Ruo Xi awake, and she opened her eyes.

"Oh, this wine is fine; it just has some spicy additives. Uncle, just bear with it!"

Then, she stretched lazily.

"Cough, cough..." Listening to his niece's thoughts, Xiao Yin took a sip of the wine, which immediately made him start coughing.

"Shaoshang, Shangyang, Taiyuan acupoints!" Baby Ruo Xi, hearing that her uncle was about to cough, paused for a moment after stretching, then quickly retrieved a silver needle from her space, holding it in her tiny hand and blindly flicking it backwards.

Ci Xin's eyes widened instantly.

What did he see?

That little girl actually held a silver needle in her hand, and just like when she stretched, she flicked the needle out, hitting the emperor's three acupoints precisely.

Xiao Yin, who was just lifting the wine flask, found the silver needle landing perfectly on his finger as if guided by an eye.

The coughing stopped abruptly, and Xiao Yin stared at his finger, momentarily stunned.

Still, he pretended nothing had happened and continued drinking the remaining wine, tilting his head back and saying, "General Yuan's wine is really not that great!"
