“Is she satisfied?” Jun Jiuqing stood with his hands behind his back, and his words seemed to have a hint of lazy smiling intent.
“I… think so,” said the guard rather hesitantly.
“Hm?” Jun Jiuqing turned his head slightly, revealing a perfectly carved side profile
His brows were sharp, his nose was high, and his lips were curled up in an enticing smile that made him look more demonic and charming. His long lashes that covered half his eyes revealed a demonic-red color vaguely.
Even if it was only half his face, it wasn’t hard to imagine how handsome this man was.
His soft voice and the extended syllable made him more dangerous.
The guard immediately looked down and hurriedly explained, “The people from the Taiyu Dynasty had a misunderstanding with them…”
Then, he narrated the entire incident once.
After Jun Jiuqing heard it, he kept silent for a moment and laughed lightly. “I didn’t expect Dantai Chen to be so agitated. I really overestimated him before.”
“Your Highness, you’ve always done everything smoothly, and everything is in Your Highness’s control.” The guard hurriedly said, “Do you want me to send someone—”
“No need.” Jun Jiuqing raised his hand and interrupted the guard’s words.
Thinking of something, he then smiled with deeper meaning. “She really didn’t change her temper at all…”
The guard was shocked.
He was His Highness’s confidant and could see through His Highness’s temper and thoughts a little. But this time, he couldn’t guess what the latter wanted to do at all. His Highness seems to be different toward Shangguan Yue, the one who just ascended the Tianling Dynasty’s throne recently. If I were to say that His Highness didn’t treat her well, why did he give her that villa to live in so openly? If I were to say that His Highness didn’t treat her well, then why does his tone have a few hints of interest every time he talks about her? Which person could receive such treatment from the Crown Prince in the past?
I cannot tell and dare not think further. I will only do whatever His Highness instructs me to do. However, I can confirm one thing—that Shangguan Yue isn’t someone that we can easily offend!
“You’re dismissed. Just quietly observe the situation,” said Jun Jiuqing lazily.
“Yes!” The guard quickly went down.
Jun Jiuqing looked up.
Within the hunting ground, that person’s heart seemed to be swallowed clean, and his entire person lost his breath.
That black and white bird suddenly shrieked!
That stage-seven warrior had connected his five organs, and his heart was the place that gathered most of the force. So after swallowing this heart, the bird’s aura naturally strengthened.
Jun Jiuqing’s tone became light as if it was tainted with drunken intent. “Okay, let’s go.”
Following this, that bird flew up!
At that moment, the fiends that had already waited for a long time in the surroundings pounced forward in unison.
Blood spurted everywhere! Not long later, they started to kill each other!
That black-white bird perched at the top of the barrier and watched this scene with a harsh expression, being high and mighty.
The scene was very bloody and violent, but Jun Jiuqing seemed to be used to it. He lightly touched the corner of his eyes, seemingly revealing a satisfied expression, before turning around to leave.
…
Yin Hao brought the Taiyu Dynasty people to the villa on the neighboring street. The entire way, he was very cautious and didn’t dare to speak much.
It was only when he reached the door that he then braved himself to invite Dantai Chen and the rest down. Your Majesty, we’re here.”
Dantai Chen and the others got off the carriage and rapidly surveyed the surroundings, their expressions turning increasingly dark afterward.
At first glance, they could tell that this villa was much worse than the other one, be it in terms of scale or something else!
“What kind of stupid place is this?!” Dantai Ruoli couldn’t help but scold. We’re from the Taiyu royal family after all. Even if we aren’t as distinguished as the Beiming royal family, it’s beneath us to stay in such a place!
“They don’t even care about us!”
It would be fine if everyone stayed in such a place, but the residence of those people from the Tianling Dynasty is clearly much better than ours! How can we calmly accept such differential treatment?!
Yin Hao broke out into a cold sweat. “Eldest Princess Dantai, the Crown Prince personally arranged the villas, and they’re all from the Beiming royal family. How can you call it a ‘stupid place?’ Please don’t say such words in the future!”
Then, he couldn’t help but say to Dantai Chen, “Your Majesty, you must advise her!”
If she always lets her mouth run, she will get into trouble sooner or later! Do they still remember that this is the Beiming Dynasty’s territory?!
Even though Dantai Chen also felt very aggrieved, he had been the emperor for many years and knew what he should say and should not.
He shot Dantai Ruoli a look of warning, and his tone was cold. “Ruoli, did you forget what I told you before?”
I told you that you need to control yourself! Be low-key! If the Beiming Crown Prince heard this, it wouldn’t be good for us at all!
Dantai Ruoli shut her mouth indignantly.
The other people also felt complicated after experiencing that series of events, and all kept quiet.
It was already very humiliating to end up in this state. If they were still relentless about it, they would just be seen as a joke.
Seeing that they all stopped, Yin Hao then brought them in.
…
After arranging all of them, Yin Hao dismissed himself first and went back to report.
The moment he left, Dantai Ruoli couldn’t help but yell, “I’m so angry! This is killing me!”
Her eyes burned with an intense fire, and her face flushed red due to her frustration. “Father, we can’t just let this incident go!”
Dantai Chen sat on the chair, his face as calm as water. “Then, what do you want to do? They already clearly said that the Beiming Crown Prince arranged all of this. Do you want to cause trouble for the Beiming Crown Prince?”
Dantai Ruoli was stumped.
She naturally knew that the Beiming Crown Prince was someone she couldn’t afford to offend. Now, more than half of the Beiming Dynasty’s power was in his hands! It wasn’t an understatement to say that he could cover the sky with one hand!
“Didn’t they say that the Beiming Dynasty’s Crown Prince has always been heartless and harsh? With this arrangement, could it be that the Tianling Dynasty is related to him?”
If not, she really couldn’t understand why the weakest Tianling had the right to enjoy the best treatment!
“Logically speaking, Tianling shouldn’t even have the right to be invited to Ancient Phoenix Mountain’s eruption!”
“They still came without a right.”
Dantai Chen’s expression was solemn. “If that Shangguan Yue really knows the Beiming Crown Prince… It won’t be easy to handle this.”
The room fell into a dead silence.
Then, a young man’s voice sounded. “Your Majesty, just let them be delighted for now. When Ancient Phoenix Mountain erupts, won’t we know who is strong and weak? They live in the best place, but won’t it be even more humiliating for them if they become last place at that time?”
Dantai Chen’s expression changed slightly.
Dantai Ruoli’s eyes immediately lit up. “Yeah! Father, Zefeng is right! We’ll let them be arrogant first, and then we’ll slap them with our capabilities later! Let’s see how that Shangguan Yue can continue to be impudent!”
