Chapter 559 "Jun Ruqing (3)"

Shaking hard at being called out, Why is G.o.dfather acting like this? He always wors.h.i.+ps His Majesty, so why, why is he allowing the King to be trampled upon like so?

“G.o.dfather,” pursing that lip, Jun Ruqing continues to raise her point, "I am only saying this for His Majesty"s sake…."

The First Elder didn"t speak for a while, only giving his G.o.ddaughter a strange look like someone able to perceive the truth. “Ruqing, do you like His Majesty?"

Perhaps it"s due to her true intent being discovered, but that calm nature immediately showed a glimpse of fleeting panic: "What are you talking about G.o.dfather? How can I…."

A broken smile now takes over Jun Ruqing"s face: "G.o.dfather, some things won"t stop just because I step back, and the Queen, she is just a human woman…"

The elder"s forehead starts wrinkling up: "Ruqing, your parents died for the sake of the Demon Realm, plus you are clever and sensible, that"s why I took you in as my G.o.ddaughter. I hope you can recognize your own status and not have any thoughts beyond your stage as a small little general"s daughter. There are many women out there more capable and more beautiful than you, yet none could get into the King"s eye. You should have some idea of why. I won"t help you if your actions end up infuriating His Majesty."

Staggering backwards, the fox woman eyes her G.o.dfather in disbelief like this was the first time they have ever met.

She had thought after so many years of being together that the First Elder would side with her on this matter, that"s why she divulged her heart"s true intent.

Yet….

He called her a daughter of a small little general and to not have ulterior motives for the King….

Embedding those nails into the flesh of that palm, Jun Ruqing hides her pain and anger by closing those eyes: "Thank you G.o.dfather, I understand."

“I"m happy that you can see things through. Now and into the future, you will still be my good and sensible G.o.ddaughter." Smiling now, the elder turns away: "Go now, I need to continue my cultivation."

“Yes G.o.dfather.” Complying, the fox woman also turns and left the hall, totally unaware the First Elder was eyeing the droplets of blood staining the floorboard from the corner of his eyes.

Outside the Council"s main hall.

“So the years of bond between us is only to this extent, a daughter of a small little general…" Jun Ruqing"s lip curled into a snarl of bitter sadness: "I"ve always taken myself as a member of the fox clan, the daughter of the First Elder, that"s why I thought you would support me. But it was nothing but my own illusion to believe you are my family…"

Haha, how laughable! To think I"m not worthy while a human woman is?

“Fine! If you won"t help me then I will get him with my own strength. When the time comes, I will have the whole Demon Realm bow down at my feet, and by then, I will have you repent for today"s words!"
