Qi Xia glanced at the emperor who was silent and continued, “Moreover, the aairs of the Vermillion Bird
Clan has something to do with the emperor. Have you forgotten who sent Little Xiao to The Rising Sun
City? Who wanted to reap the benets of a sherman when The Rising Sun City was just built? And when
the four-nation alliance sent troops to attack the Barren Land, the emperor was very active. How many
bad things did he do before and after, and how many obstacles did he create for Little Xiao; others may
not know, but how could we not? If it weren’t for Little Xiao sitting rmly as the Lord of the Barren Land,
the emperor would have probably tried to kill her until she perished. In his heart, he has never been
convinced of Little Xiao, not even for a minute. All this time, he has been thinking about how to take away
the power in Little Xiao’s hands.”
Tang Nazhi gaped his mouth and looked at Qi Xia in disbelief.
“Is he… tired of living?” Tang Nazhi had never seen anyone who was not afraid of death.
Dared to covet Shen Yanxiao’s power? If this were not a suicide attempt, what was it?
“He is not tired of living, he’s just too greedy. If he hadn’t been so vicious that year, how could Little Xiao
separate herself from the Long Xuan Empire? If Little Xiao did not break away from the Long Xuan Empire,
this Barren Land, even if it did not belong to the Long Xuan Empire, could also support that empire to
become the head of the four countries. One wrong step every time, the emperor personally pushed away
the giant Buddha that is Little Xiao. At present, he’s also aware that he can’t be Little Xiao’s opponent. He
wants to assume a humble attitude, but his heart is unwilling.” Qi Xia smilingly opened his mouth. With a
brain like his, he could see through the emperor’s mind without any diculty.
“A man who is never content is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant. He brought it on himself.” Li
Xiaowei snorted coldly. Unlike the other members of the Phantom, he had grown up in the same
environment as the common people. He was very dismissive of the emperor’s actions.
“In the past two years, he still wanted to make some trouble; unfortunately for him, he did not have the
slightest chance. Right now, he’s afraid that Little Xiao will settle accounts with him, so he does not dare to
make any noise.” Qi Xia chuckled. He liked the picture of the emperor falling into the pit that he had dug
himself.
“Will Little Xiao really settle accounts with him? But this is not a good time.” Tang Nazhi was not happy
with the emperor’s narrow-minded attitude, but they were currently facing a big enemy. It seemed a bit
inappropriate to create civil strife at this time.
Qi Xia looked at Tang Nazhi with a very odd look, making the hairs in Tang Nazhi’s whole body stand up.
“Staring at me like that freaks me out! Stop looking at people like they’re some strange creature.” Tang
Nazhi grunted.
Qi Xia said, “I’m just curious, since when did you get used to thinking with your head?”
“What do you mean!!?” Tang Nazhi blew his top in an instant!
This guy was absolutely insulting him!
“Who could have thought that you would now be able to take the overall situation into consideration.” Qi
Xia did not conceal his disdain for Tang Nazhi’s IQ.
“Are you asking for a duel?!” Tang Nazhi rolled up his sleeves immediately.
“Calm down, I’m just saying that you have a little brain after all. Why are you so impulsive?” Qi Xia smiled.
Tang Nazhi still wanted to say something, but Li Xiaowei had pressed down his impulsive younger brother.
“Little Xiao has her own ideas as to what to do. We should just watch the show. Today’s main character is
not either of you.” Li Xiaowei said.
Tang Nazhi gave up the plan to ght Qi Xia to the end.
On the other side, Shen Yanxiao seemed to have lost her patience. She sat up straight and looked in the
direction of all the people from the Long Xuan Empire.
