The Cannon Fodder Turns His Sister Into A Soaring Phoenix

The door of Eternal Bliss Palace slowly closed.
After watching Ye Anping and the others leave, Tong Zilan let out a long breath, walked back to the imperial couch, and leaned down on her side, recalling the look in Ye Anping's eyes.
Before Ye Anping and the others were led into the house, Liang Zhu was still telling her about some of the deeds Ye Anping had done.
--- Like how Ye Anping relied on a few Foundation Building cultivators to save thousands of people in the Dragon House from the four Core Formation demonic cultivators of the Demonic Sect and helped Miss Li revive the Dragon House.
At that moment, listening to Liang Zhu say this, neither she nor Yue Xuanming took him seriously, thinking that Liang Zhu was exaggerating, trying to paint a good image of his 'sixth brother'.
She just listened to it for fun and didn't take it seriously.
But now, after meeting Ye Anping, she felt that Liang Zhu's words were not just an exaggeration.
Those deep purple eyes were not as immature as a teenager should be, and even she couldn't read his hidden thoughts.
Facing the Empress of the Central Region, and the Deputy Commander of the Justice Division who was two levels higher than him, not only did he not show the slightest fear, but he was still composed and rational.
Tong Zilan was silent for a while, then turned to look at Yue Xuanming. "Master Yue, given your insight after leading the Justice Division for more than a hundred years, how would you evaluate Young Master Ye?"
Yue Xuanming lowered his eyes in contemplation for a moment and replied, "He is extremely shrewd and doesn't have the recklessness that he should have at that age. His every move is logical and clear, and he has already reached the middle stage of Foundation Building at this age. He is already an impressive talent and must not be underestimated in the future."
"Oh?" Tong Zilan's eyes showed some surprise. "It's rare to hear you praise someone like this, Master Yue."
"I am just being honest. If that kid was a hundred years old, I wouldn't have said that, but he is only seventeen or eighteen years old. It seems that the Hundred Lotus Sect Patriarch has really taught him well."
Listening to the two people talking, Liang Zhu's face changed subtly, and he had mixed feelings in his heart.
As the saying goes, a type of parents can only raise the same type of children.
He had met Ye Ao before. Although it was rude to say so, he really felt that Ye Ao was indeed a mediocre person who could not do anything important at first glance. Although Mrs. Kong was better, she was still nothing out of the ordinary.
How in the world did this couple raise Ye Anping, his "sixth brother"?
When he was in the Hundred Lotus Sect before, he even wanted Ye Ao to help educate Ating, thinking that he could make her as smart as his sixth brother in the future, but...
Tong Zilan listened as she propped her chin, and after a while, she said, "He's seventeen or eighteen years old. Come to think of it... My second daughter is about to reach maturity, right?"
?
Hearing this, Liang Zhu's heart suddenly thumped. Why did the Empress suddenly bring up this topic?
Yue Xuanming counted on his fingers before replying, "The Second Princess was taken away by Liang Zhu more than ten years ago. I remember that she had been born less than three months before. So she should be fourteen pretty soon."
"Well... the age is right." Tong Zilan murmured, turning to look at Liang Zhu. "Officer Liang, what do you think?"
Liang Zhu's expression twitched as he cupped his hands, asking, "Empress... what do you mean?"
"Of course, I want to find a good match for my daughter. The Hundred Lotus Sect is supported by the Black Star Sect, and Young Master Ye seems to have a good relationship with the two young ladies of the Black Star. If she marries him, everything will go well in the future."
"..."
Liang Zhu's jaw almost dropped to the ground. After a long time, he said, "Empress, I don't think this is appropriate! This... this! Ating... is also the Second Princess of the Imperial Sect after all, and she should be well-matched. Marrying into the Hundred Lotus Sect is below her status..."
"... Besides the Second Princess..." Tong Zilan shook her head slightly with a helpless look on her face. "There are no more heirs of the Emperor. Once he dies, the Imperial Sect will exist in name only. Then, what will be the point of this 'Second Princess of the Imperial Sect' title?"
"..."
Yue Xuanming also sighed deeply after hearing this. "If I hadn't heard what the Empress personally said today, I would have never believed that the Emperor would do such an evil thing, leading to the ruin of the sect. Once this matter spreads, the Imperial Sect will surely be punished by the Immortal Family..."
"Anyway, when the time comes, we can ask the Immortal Matriarch to bring an end to the Imperial Sect's millennia of existence."
Tong Zilan relaxed and waved her hand slightly. "What happens in the Central Region from now on is no longer something that you and I can interfere with. Master Yue, the matter of bringing the Demon King into the city will be handled by you. Remember, don't let that old man see any clues."
"I understand."
And then, Tong Zilan looked at Liang Zhu on the other side and called him. "Officer Liang."
"Yes..."
"You have taken care of my daughter for so many years, and I am indebted to you. Have you ever regretted it?"
Liang Zhu was silent for a while and then nodded. "At times I regret it. If I hadn't agreed to the matters you entrusted me with, I would have reached a high position in the Justice Division today, and my cultivation would not have stopped at the late stage of Foundation Building. But the same thing would have happened no matter what. If I hadn't agreed back then, I would have also regretted not saving the Second Princess."
"I'm counting on you to take good care of my daughter from now on. Her identity as the Second Princess of the Imperial Sect should remain a secret buried forever."
Liang Zhu thought about it, then said, "Yes, I will keep Ating's secret, but I hope the Empress will reconsider the matter of the Second Princess' matching... My sixth brother is..."
Seeing Liang Zhu so reluctant, Tong Zilan covered her mouth and chuckled. "We'll talk about it later."
Liang Zhu pursed his mouth and reluctantly accepted. "...Yes, Empress."
"I am tired now. Please see yourselves out, faithful friends."
Liang Zhu and Yue Xuanming cupped their hands, then turned around and walked out of the palace.
The gates of Eternal Bliss Palace opened and closed, and as the two of them climbed down the steps outside the palace gate, Yue Xuanming glanced at Liang Zhu: "Liang Zhu, after returning to the Division, I will temporarily promote you to be my assistant, and later, you can take over my position. You can deploy any of the Division's Gold, Wood, and Earth Units at will; there is no need to inform me beforehand. But you must take care of the Justice Division Commander. You should know him."
"...I know."
"Good. If anything is happening to Mr. Ye, you can come directly to the office and let me know."
"Thank you, Master Yue."
"Then, I'll go back to the Justice Division Headquarters now."
Yue Xuanming cupped his hands to Liang Zhu, and then followed the maid leading him out of the Eternal Bliss Palace through the side door.
Liang Zhu let out a long breath, looked up at the full moon, and couldn't help but visualize a picture in his mind.
In the main hall, he and Ye Ao were seated on both sides of the altar table in formal attire.
The Master of Ceremonies shouted, "Welcome the bride and groom!!"
Then, his sixth brother, holding Ating's little hand, walked step by step in front of him on the red carpet. Under the urging of the emcee, "Bow down~~", he bowed to him with a wicked smile on his face.

Liang Zhu gritted his teeth, and there was a murderous intent on his face, which made the maid who was waiting for him cower in fear.
"Master Liang?"
"Hoo--" Liang Zhu closed his eyes and exhaled. "Please lead the way."
"Yes... Master Liang, follow me."
Liang Zhu followed the maid to the side door of the palace, vowing in his heart: I won't let that happen!!
---Never!!!
