“Xiao Xiao, maybe we should give up after all.”

Ye Lu, the woman also known as Second Granny by Ye Xiaoxiao, spoke with a low tone.

“Second Granny, if we give up now, do you think they will leave me alone?”

Even though Ye Xiaoxiao was severely injured, she did not exhibit any signs of despair.

Once the inheritance struggle begins, there is no way to back out.

Nonetheless, Ye Xiaoxao did not want to give up.

So what if she dies? It’s only a life.

What if she had no support? Then let it rely purely on life’s struggle!

Ye Lu stayed silent. She knew that although Ye Xiaoxiao appeared weak, once she made a decision, no one could change her mind.

Regrettably, Ye Lu had brought Ye Xiaoxiao from Guanghe Prefecture to Zhongshan Prefecture, embroiling her in these conflicts.

Ye Xiaoxiao quietly shut her eyes. She was exhausted and the pain of her internal injuries was severe.

However, she must not reveal her dejection; as once she shows signs of decline in this battle, it meant she had already lost.

Three days later, Emperor Yu would declare his successor.

Ye Xiaoxiao had to regain at least some strength, at the very least she can’t let people see her current state.

“Brother, I will definitely find you all.”

Ever since the Soul Devouring Sect attacked Guanghe Prefecture, Ye Xiaoxiao rushed back to Guanghe Prefecture as fast as she could.

But the Ye family had disappeared without any news left behind.

Throughout these years, Ye Xiaoxiao had been searching for any news about Ye Fan and the others.

The Ye family were why she wanted to seize the inheritance rights.

As a cultivator at the Core Formation Stage, her power was simply too weak. Only by harnessing the power of Dayu Kingdom was it possible to locate the Ye family more quickly.

However, in order to obtain the power of Dayu Kingdom, she, Ye Xiaoxiao, had to become the queen of Dayu Kingdom.

Three days later, six ringing sounds echoed across Dayu Kingdom.

The maximum of nine rings symbolized the change of emperorship or the death of Emperor Yu.

Six rings were of the second highest level.

Today, Emperor Yu would be announcing his successor.

Emperor Yu had lived for over two thousand years. A cultivator at the Nascent Soul Stage could only live up to two thousand years as well.

Emperor Yu was now completely relying on life-extending objects to survive.

However, Emperor Yu no longer held the dignity that a cultivator of the Nascent Soul Stage should have.

However, even a thin camel is thicker than a horse.

As long as Emperor Yu was alive, the other powers within Dayu Kingdom would not dare to overstep their bounds.

Within the Thousands of Leaves Marquis Mansion, Ye Xiaoxiao pushed open the door of her cultivation room.

She organized her phoenix robe and once again regained the dignity of the Marquis of Thousands of Leaves.

“Set off, to the palace.”

Inside the palace, all civil and military officials had gathered, respectfully looking at Emperor Yu, who sat on the throne.

In front of the civil and military officials, two dignified figures stood straight:

the other two marquises, Lord Yuanzhou and Lord Wen Cheng.

The two of them furrowed their brows, appearing calm, but a hint of nervousness could vaguely be detected.

After all, today was the day when the successor to Emperor Yu would be determined.

For the two of them, both of whom aspired to be emperor, how could they not be nervous?

“The Marquis of Thousands of Leaves has arrived!”

With the eunuch’s announcement, a lady in a red robe slowly walked into the main hall.

“Greetings, Royal Grandpa!”

Ye Xiaoxiao performed a courtesy greeting towards Emperor Yu.

“Rise.”

Emperor Yu looked at Ye Xiaoxiao, a trace of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

This granddaughter of his, although she came from a small place, indeed had won Emperor Yu’s favor.

Whether it be her talents or her qualifications for cultivation, both were very strong.

If Dayu Kingdom could be handed over to Ye Xiaoxiao, Emperor Yu believed it would be the correct choice.

However, Emperor Yu also knew that it wouldn’t be so easy to smoothly hand Dayu Kingdom over to Ye Xiaoxiao.

Ever since the news of Emperor Yu’s imminent death leaked out, the powers within Dayu Kingdom had been itching to make their move.

They certainly would not stand by and watch an enlightened monarch ascend to the throne of Emperor Yu.

Lords Yuanzhou and Wencheng saw the look in Emperor Yu’s eyes, lowered their heads, and a trace of anger flashed in their eyes.

They couldn’t understand why Emperor Yu would look favorably upon a rustic country girl.

Where was Ye Xiaoxiao better? Ye Xiaoxiao’s qualifications were only slightly better than theirs, her cultivation level was only stronger than theirs, her talents were only better than theirs…

Spit, spit, spit, Ye Xiaoxiao was not better than them in any way.

If Emperor Yu did not choose them, then Emperor Yu must be senile.

“As Ye Saint, I have ruled Dayu Kingdom for over one thousand eight hundred years. I have fulfilled my duty to the ancestors of Dayu Kingdom and the ancestors of the Ye family…”

Ye Saint firstly spoke about his own meritorious deeds, talking at length for an hour.

Then, he turned his gaze to the three people below him.

“I am getting old. Today, I need to select the next ruler of Dayu Kingdom.” The three people below him all looked up.

Lord Yuanzhou and Wen Cheng’s eyes burned, hoping to hear their own names.

Ye Xiaoxiao wore an expressionless face, but she already was prepared for the worst.

Even if she was the legitimate successor today, she knew securing the position of Emperor Yu would not be that easy.

At this point, the civil and military officials also started to speak.

“Your Majesty, I believe Lord Yuanzhou is capable, he…”

“Nonsense! Clearly, Lord Wen Cheng is more suitable.”

The civil and military officials were divided into two factions, one supporting Lord Wen Cheng and the other supporting Lord Yuanzhou.

No one was standing beside Ye Xiaoxiao except for Ye Lu.

It wasn’t that Ye Xiaoxiao was not respected, but that she didn’t have any support.

Ever since Ye Xiaoxiao became marquis, the forces behind her had been thoroughly investigated.

A marquis coming from a small family in the remote Guanghe Prefecture, even that small family was now gone, seemingly destroyed.

Under such family circumstances, no one believed that Ye Xiaoxiao could win the final victory in the inheritance struggle.

At this moment, an overwhelming aura suddenly emerged, causing the civil and military officials to gasp for breath.

“Now, I am still the emperor of Dayu Kingdom, do you need to teach me what to do?”

Emperor Yu’s eyes bulged with anger as he glared at the civil and military officials.

Only then did the civil and military officials react, realizing they had overstepped their boundaries.

In Dayu Kingdom, Emperor Yu was the one who made the decisions.

After venting his frustrations, Emperor Yu finally withdrew his aura.

His gaze kept shifting among the three of them. After a while, Emperor Yu finally made up his mind.

“I plan to pass the throne of Emperor Yu on to Ye Xiaoxiao.”

Boom!

Once these words were spoken, all present could hardly believe their ears.

They could not understand why the throne had still been passed to Ye Xiaoxiao, even though her chances were the smallest.

Both the marquises were stunned. Ye Xiaoxiao, why would it be Ye Xiaoxiao?

Was Emperor Yu disregarding the opinions of the civil and military officials, and disregarding the powerful forces behind them?

Only Ye Xiaoxiao remained ever calm.

She knew that the storm was just beginning.

Emperor Yu, in this whirlpool, no longer had the power to fully dictate events. As expected, as soon as Emperor Yu’s words fell, Lord Yuanzhou stood up.

“Royal Grandpa, I refuse to accept this decision!” “Royal Grandpa, I too refuse to accept!”

Lord Wen Cheng also stood out.

“What qualifications does a country girl like Ye Xiaoxiao have to inherit the grand position of Emperor Yu?”

Lord Yuanzhou looked disdainful.

All the gazes turned to Ye Xiaoxiao, curious of her reaction..
