Volume 1, Chapter 56: How to Oppose Prince Yu

The corruption case ultimately concluded with Qin Xian retiring to his hometown. The ministers in the court made insincere efforts to persuade him to stay, but Qin Xian's resolve to leave was steadfast.

Feeling the violent, vast, and boundless power surging within his body, which had now reached the seventh tier of the Heavenly Dao Supreme Sage, Qin Feng swung the Crown Prince Sword fiercely in his hand.

Huo Nainai lowered her head shyly, her smile seeming a bit uneasy as she placed the dishes on the table one by one.

Before the words had even faded, a eunuch came running in to report, and only then did they learn that the ministers had started fighting outside.

Mingyue desperately wanted to say that at this point, whatever attitude she adopted would be utterly futile! She had thought about quitting more than once, but was always reined in by some lingering force.

After Lin Xinning sat down, she saw Mo Yuanxi turn to leave, whereupon she reached out and grabbed him by the arm.

Cao Moran froze, though deep within his heart, there arose an indescribable sense of awkwardness—since when did their Class 5 ever need to resort to stalling for time like this?

Her eyes, as pure as glazed glass, remained devoid of any fluctuation, carrying within their unreadable calm a hint of unsettling eeriness.

Yet these effects seemed to have little impact; Xinxing was still sobbing softly, her voice echoing right beside Shen Mingkai's ear. Hearing this, Shen Mingkai slowly wrapped his arms around Xinxing, pulling her right against his chest as his tight embrace pressed her even closer to him.

Hearing the system's prompt, Qin Feng withdrew his consciousness from the system, stood up, and walked toward the weapons.

Yu Minghui glanced at the jacket and then back at Liu Jie. Despite looking like a proper gentleman on the outside, he was actually a proud, sharp-tongued, and black-bellied Scorpio man.

"He hit you just now, and I can't bear the thought of anyone touching you, so I stabbed him to avenge you!" Fan Dalong's reasoning was as simple as that; he was utterly devoid of brains.

Perhaps if Shen Linfeng had explained his predicament to me with a sense of guilt, I might have felt compelled to accept the reality of it.

I hesitated and cast a glance at Ling Jing. Ling Jing looked back at me with pleading eyes, and I knew she hoped I would eliminate this demonic beast, yet what Zishu said was also entirely correct—I truly found myself caught in a dilemma with no easy choice.

Along the way, she heard plenty of idle gossip. Every single utterance of the word "Princess" moved Yelong deeply, evoking a complex mix of pride and sorrow.

If it were anyone else, she could afford to ignore the matter. However, since Heavenly Monarch Yan Heten had spoken, this courtesy could not be refused. To offend Heavenly Monarch Yan Heten, the forefather of assassins, meant there would be no peace for her in the days to come.

Furthermore, both Grandfather and Fourteenth Uncle are advanced in years, and I do not wish to drag them into any danger.

Longkui's words struck the entire gathering like a fierce storm. Everyone stared blankly ahead, their complexions looking frighteningly grim, for it had been a very long time since any subordinate had dared to address me in such a manner.

Hearing Jiang Bai's words, the rest of the group immediately shifted their actions and dispersed in various directions. Seeing this, Tong Tian was rather surprised; during the time they had been apart, this erstwhile pampered scion had undergone quite a noticeable transformation.

Besides, everything in the universe exists in mutual restraint. The Great Universe Divine Tree is overwhelmingly powerful. If the great universe truly possesses a way of balance, it stands to reason that it would gestate a race or a treasure capable of subduing the Great Universe Divine Tree.

Situ Zhong smiled awkwardly. Having survived a great disaster, there must be a blessing waiting for him; he was already daydreaming about the marvelous treasures he might acquire shortly.

He had meticulously planned how he should react upon seeing Ruoxin again, yet when the moment truly arrived, everything went awry, completely derailing his plans. Now, he could only stare at her with wide eyes, looking utterly disheveled with wild grass stuck all over his head.

This powder took effect upon encountering the wind; it was colorless and odorless, causing the victim to believe they had simply fallen asleep naturally, leaving absolutely no trace behind after the fact.
