Compared to the noisy gongs and drums outside, the atmosphere in the Situ family was a bit tense.
Situ Qi locked herself in the room for three days. Situ Mutong had never seen Situ Qi like this before, so he was not worried.
"Qier, please open the door. Dad has something to say to you." Situ Mutong said almost pleading in front of Situ Qier's room.
"Mu Tong, what should we do if this continues?" Mrs. Situ was even more anxious, with distressed tears welling up in her eyes. [
"Dad, Mom, I'm fine, just leave me alone and leave me alone." Situ Qi's voice came from the room, a bit hoarse, and he had obviously cried.
Situ Mutong gave a bitter smile and said, "Qier, I know you lost the competition and felt sad. But now it has become a fact. Even if you lock yourself up for the rest of your life, it will not help. You'd better open the door, we are all I’m worried to death about you!”
"Qier, open the door. I'm begging you as a mother." Mrs. Situ slapped the door so hard that she almost cried.
The door did not open, and the room fell into silence again.
Mrs. Situ said helplessly to Situ Mu Tong, "Mu Tong, can't you think of a way to talk to His Majesty the Emperor and let Qier go to Wulong Island too?"
Situ Mutong said bitterly, "How can that be done? Only five people can be sent to the island at a time. If our Qier wants to go, we have to squeeze one person off. In order to get to Wulong Island, people have to pay no more than Qier." My dear, this is so unfair."
"But..." Mrs. Situ was not an unreasonable person, and she had no idea at this time.
Whoever makes Tianwu Academy lose the competition, this is the rule.
"Sister Qier, aren't you still willing to come out?" Jin Jiayi walked over under the guidance of the servant.
As soon as she saw Jin Jiayi, Mrs. Situ seemed to have seen a savior. She pulled her over and said repeatedly, "Jiayi, you are Qier's best sister. Come and persuade her to leave the room." Come out."
Situ Mutong took a step back and gave up his position to Jin Jiayi. Situ Mutong was always known for his intelligence in Longyuan Kingdom, but he was completely helpless when it came to his precious daughter.
"Sister Qier, I'm Jiayi, can I come in?" Jin Jiayi knocked on the door gently.
As soon as there was a knock on the door, the door was pushed open with a creak, revealing Situ Qi's extremely haggard face covered with tears.
"Qier!" Mrs. Situ's heart almost broke when she saw Situ Qi's appearance. With a cry of sorrow, she hugged Situ Qi tightly in her arms.
"Mom, I'm sorry for making you and Dad worry about me." Situ Qi choked while leaning on Mrs. Situ's chest.
Situ Mutong breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Situ Qi was willing to walk out of the room.
"Qier, I know you have been competitive since you were a child, and you are very eager to go to the legendary Five Dragon Island, but we should keep a normal mind and not care too much. This is not only useless, but will hurt your body and mind. In fact, it has changed There are thousands of ways to become strong, and you don't necessarily have to go to Wulong Island." Situ Mutong said earnestly, never wanting Situ Qi to get into trouble again.
Situ Qi nodded slightly, but the sadness and disappointment on his face did not dissipate much. Situ Muchong let out a sigh in his heart, knowing that it would take time for Situ Qi to completely get out of the shadow of this failure.
"Sir, a gentleman named Qin Dong wants to see you." The housekeeper came over and said. [
"Qin Dong?" Situ Muchong was shocked and said quickly, "Quick, quick, invite him in!"
"Dad, what did Qin Dong do when he saw you?" When Situ Qi heard the name Qin Dong, she immediately stopped choking and looked up at Situ Mutong with a confused expression.
Situ Mutong shook his head, and while arranging his clothes, he said, "I don't know! But it must be a big deal." After that, he walked away in a hurry.
Situ Qi rolled her eyes, took Jin Jiayi's hand, and said, "Let's go eavesdrop!"
Situ Qi seemed to be changing her face for fun. One second she was devastated, and the next second she was back to her usual playful and cunning nature, all because of Qin Dong's sudden appearance. The attentive Mrs. Situ's heart moved, as if she had thought of something, and an unpredictable smile appeared on her face.
"Master Situ, I'm sorry for bothering you!" Qin Dong said with a smile in Situ Mutong's reception room.
Situ Mutong burst into laughter, "Young Master Qin, it is my honor, Situ Mutong, that you come to see me. How can you call it a nuisance?"
Qin Dong smiled and said, "Master Situ, you should call me Xiaodong. I'm not used to hearing that."
Situ Mutong replied, "Okay, but I can't get used to you calling me sir. It's best for you to change it."
Qin Dong nodded cheerfully and called "Uncle Situ instead."
Situ Mutong was very satisfied and nodded in agreement.
Qin Dong did not mince words and said straight to the point, "Uncle Situ, I came today to ask, when will Hua Fengde prepare to ascend the throne?"
When Situ Mutong heard this, his heart trembled involuntarily, and he asked, "Why, has the Hua family done anything excessive?"
Seeing Situ Mutong's nervous look, Qin Dong quickly smiled and said, "No, I'm just asking casually."
Situ Mu agreed and then replied, "On an auspicious day in three months, His Majesty will officially ascend the throne."
"Three months later?" Qin Dong frowned.
"What, is there a problem?" Situ Mutong asked subconsciously.
Qin Dong said, "It's too long! I hope His Majesty can ascend the throne within three days."
"What? This... this is too hasty, and why?" Situ Muyi looked confused.
Qin Dong said with a heavy expression, "There is something I can't explain to you right now. I can only tell you that in the next one or two years, there will be a huge disaster that will sweep across the entire human continent. The sooner we can The more prepared you are, the more likely you are to minimize the impact of a disaster.”
"A disaster sweeping the entire human continent?" Situ Muyi looked shocked.
Qin Dong nodded and said, "I hope Hua Fengde can ascend the throne as soon as possible, so that the entire national machine can be operated as quickly as possible. Make adequate preparations to deal with the coming disaster." [
Situ Mutong really wanted to know what the huge disaster Qin Dong was talking about was, but Qin Dong had already made it very clear, and he couldn't tell him clearly now. A smart person like him knew when to break the pot and ask the truth, and when to ask. Shut up.
"What do you hope His Majesty the Emperor will prepare after he ascends the throne?" Situ Mutong asked with a frown.
