Within the room.
Chu Liuyue and Rong Xiu sat opposite each other inside the room.
It was totally silent, and the air seemed to be frozen. There was a strange aura that circulated between the duo.
Ever since they came in, the both of them maintained their silence.
Chu Liuyue crossed her arms and scrutinized the extremely distinguished His Grace.
Rong Xiu held tea in one hand and allowed the newly elected princess consort to check him out repeatedly.
In comparison, he was the calmer and more composed one.
After a while, Chu Liuyue finally scooted forward, placed her hands on the table, and half-squinted her beautiful eyes with a hint of dangerous intent. “Your Highness, you still have the mood to rest leisurely at this time?”
You’re still drinking tea?!
Rong Xiu sipped on his tea and looked up slowly, his eyes relaxed and carefree. His eyes had smiling intent. “I finally managed to have the princess consort I like the most. I have already restricted myself to the maximum by not celebrating openly for three whole days and nights. Can’t I just drink tea and
celebrate?”
Chu Liuyue was speechless, No matter if this man is wearing white or black—Prince Li or His Grace—he still has a black heart! His skin is still thicker than a city wall!
With the opening sentence, Chu Liuyue didn’t know how to rebut him.
She took a deep breath in and kept reciting to herself, He’s my own man. I can’t kill him, I can’t kill him!

She leaned against the chair and sneered. “Your Highness, if I didn’t come here myself, how long did you plan to hide this identity of yours from me?”
Rong Xiu thought carefully for a moment and still chose to defend himself, “When we were at Tianling previously, I did tell you. But I didn’t talk about it in detail, so it shouldn’t be considered as me intentionally hiding it from you, right?”
It was fine if he didn’t mention this, but once he did, Chu Liuyue’s blood boiled.
“That’s considered mentioning it?! Back then, you didn’t say that the clan your mother was in was the top clan in the God Residence Realm—the Sky-Cloud Empire!”
This wasn’t an ordinary family background, yet he didn’t mention anything about it from start to end.
Rong Xiu kept silent for a moment, and his voice became much more serious. “It wasn’t very appropriate to tell you these things then. Besides, on the Sky-Cloud Empire’s side, there are still some small troubles that I haven’t settled. Hence, I planned to tell you in detail when you broke through to become
a stage-nine warrior. However, I didn’t expect…”
He smiled and instantly stole all the color in the world. His gaze was deep as if one could fall into it uncontrollably; one was unable to remove themselves from it. “I just didn’t expect you to break through so quickly, and…”
And even that totem has awakened—this is much faster than I predicted. It should be the God Foreseeing Tribulation she transcended when she broke through to become a stage-seven warrior that triggered all of this.
Chu Liuyue didn’t say a word.
Actually, from everything that happened today, she could also tell that Rong Xiu’s situation in the Sky-Cloud Empire was quite perilous. Not mentioning those people from Fairy Water Mound, just those respected elders alone didn’t seem like they were on his side. If 36 Respected Elder Ming wasn’t
around to restrain them, perhaps
“Tll put this aside first. I want to ask you about something else now, and you must answer me honestly,” Chu Liuyue said calmly.
Rong Xiu touched his cup as the bitter and slightly spicy tea taste still lingered in his mouth. He then nodded. “Okay.”
Chu Liuyue was silent for a moment and instinctively straightened her body.. Looking into the eyes of the man opposite her, she asked carefully, “Who… exactly am I?”
