From a loser to an immortal sage

Chapter 349 Yao Girl Enters the Court, Power Struggles Rise

The moment I stepped into the celestial court, countless gazes, like poisoned arrows, shot towards me with a "whoosh," as if they wanted to pin me to the ground.

The majestic face of the Xuan Tian Emperor loomed high above me, his eyes filled with undisguised scrutiny, making it hard for me to breathe.

I took a deep breath and told myself to calm down, to calm down even more.

This is not a ruin, and Wen Chen is not by my side. I must proceed with caution.

"Xiao Yao greets Your Majesty." I tried to keep my voice calm as I slowly bowed, but my nails dug deep into my flesh.

"Ha, a wild girl who popped out of who-knows-where, dares to stand in this court?" Princess Mingyue's delicate voice sounded particularly grating at this moment, like a poisonous thorn piercing my heart. "I heard you just picked up some junk in the ruins, and you really think you're someone important? I'm afraid you have some ulterior motive!"

The princess's words were like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples.

The ministers around me began to whisper among themselves, and some even pointed at me with mocking smiles on their faces.

I felt like a clown who had been stripped naked and was standing on the street for everyone to see.

"Ahem..." Prime Minister Lin coughed twice slowly, seemingly trying to stop the farce, but in reality, he was secretly adding fuel to the fire.

Out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of a furtive figure approaching me—it was Guard Chu!

He pretended not to see me and rammed into me hard.

"Ouch!" I exclaimed, frantically catching the documents that were about to fall.

That was crucial information about the ruins that I had painstakingly compiled. If it falls to the ground, all my efforts will be wasted!

A burst of laughter erupted around me, like a heavy hammer blow to my heart. I felt my face burning with shame and indignation.

I wanted to explain, but I found that no one was willing to listen to me.

The ministers were talking all at once, like a swarm of buzzing flies, making my head spin.

I felt like I was about to be crushed by this immense pressure, and I began to doubt whether I really had the ability to fight for the interests of the Immortal Sect here.

"Enough!" I suddenly shouted, using all my strength, my voice drowning out all the other noises.

I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down. I had to stay calm and find a way out.

"Everyone, I, Xiao Yao, am standing here today not to fight for power and profit, but for the safety of the Immortal Realm!" I composed myself and told them all the secrets I had discovered in the ruins.

As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar.

Everyone stopped talking and looked at me in surprise; even the Xuan Tian Emperor was slightly moved.

"Is this true?" Emperor Xuantian's voice was deep and majestic, carrying an undeniable power.

“Every word is true!” I answered without hesitation, meeting the gaze of the Xuan Tian Emperor firmly.

"Good!" General Wu was the first to stand up and support me. "Xiao Yao is absolutely right. This matter is of great importance and cannot be taken lightly!"

I glanced gratefully at General Wu, knowing that I had finally gained a foothold in the imperial court.

However, Princess Mingyue's hostile gaze made me feel like I had thorns in my back.

I know this is just the beginning, and there's a long road ahead.

"Xiao Yao, you'd better pray that everything you're saying is true." Princess Mingyue walked to my side and said in a voice only the two of us could hear, a chilling smile curling at the corner of her lips, like a venomous snake flicking its tongue...
