Chapter 329 - Just a Misunderstanding (1/2)

At that moment, the Fate's Scribe Shun Tao was sitting in his study and listened to the report of one of his scribes. This was the person he had sent to check on Hong Bao. The results … Well, nothing major seemed to have happened but her talent of causing trouble hadn't seemed to diminish by much. The only saving grace was probably that the crown prince's reincarnation hadn't stayed too long in the Hei Dian Sect.

He sighed and waved at the god to leave. His gaze unwittingly landed on the scroll of fate next to him. The situation really was vexing. The boy hadn't made much progress in his cultivation but he had learned alchemy. Wouldn't that benefit him in the future? Alchemists were especially important in the human realm. If he learned more, then how was he supposed to make his life difficult?

Shun Tao tapped the table in front of him and pondered. Maybe that could also be a chance for another trial. A high tree would attract the winds. If he actually became a great alchemist, he might find supporters but might also attract enemies. Wouldn't that be beneficial for creating some new trials?

Just when Shun Tao considered how to set up such a trial a guard hurried into the room and bowed. ”Fate's Scribe, the Heavenly Empress came to discuss some matters with you.”

Shun Tao leaped to his feet. ”The Heavenly Empress?!” His eyes widened immediately. This wasn't good! Had something happened to the crown prince?

He hurriedly grabbed the scroll of fate and skimmed the last few lines. His lips twitched. What was this about? The crown prince had nearly been killed but was now somehow trapped in an environment that was just too suitable for cultivation? And the one who had actually pulled him into this environment was none other than Leng Jin Yu who had been sent to help with the crown prince's trial? How could this be? Hadn't he just listened to a report for a few minutes?!

And now the Heavenly Empress was standing in front of his door! Everyone knew that she deeply cared about the crown prince! She might not have a temper as bad as the Heavenly Emperor but that didn't mean that he wanted to tell her what had happened. And she had certainly come because she wanted to know how her son was faring.

Shun Tao couldn't do anything about that though. He stood up and had the guard lead the Heavenly Empress inside. He didn't even have time to greet her though.

Bai Fen impatiently waved and had the guard withdraw before sitting down at the other side of Shun Tao's table. ”Fate's Scribe, excuse us for disturbing you without prior announcement. You might have already noticed that something happened to our son.”

Shun Tao gulped. So she already knew. ”What may this one do for the Heavenly Empress?”

Bai fen sighed. ”We received a report about what happened in the human realm but we don't know about our son's current situation. Fate's Scribe, just tell us where he is now and if he is still well.”

Shun Tao was stunned. The Heavenly Empress had actually come by to make sure her son was alright? ”That … naturally, this one can do that.” Shun Tao once again picked up the scroll and made sure that nothing had happened since he last looked at it. ”As far as his fate has been revealed, His Highness' reincarnation is trapped in a secret realm but has otherwise only suffered light injuries.”

”Will the demons be able to take advantage of this situation?”
