Chu Liuyue’s voice was clear and cold with a suppression to it as every single word and sentence clearly reverberated throughout the entire hall.
It was as if a resounding slap harshly hit Dantai Ruoli’s face.
Dantai Ruoli’s face instantly flushed red! She had never been so humiliated in front of so many people before!
“Shangguan Yue! You—”
“I already reminded you earlier that my year is Yuan Xi. Why? Eldest Princess Dantai, did you forget about it so quickly?” Chu Liuyue coldly interrupted Dantai Ruoli’s words in an even more stern manner.
She was born with a distinguished status and was always above the rest. Now that she had ascended the throne, the elegance in her bones was even more pressurizing.
At this point, she didn’t restrain herself as her aura instantly formed an invisible mountain that pressed against Dantai Ruoli’s shoulders tightly.
Dantai Ruoli felt her shoulders sink, and her face turned white.
“Impudent!”
Seeing that his precious daughter was being bullied, Dantai Chen’s blood boiled as he gathered his force in his palm and shot it out.
The orange, thick, and vigorous force formed a gigantic palm that went straight for Chu Liuyue!
In the hall, violent winds blew up.
Chu Liuyue’s black hair flew up, and it blew at her sleeves.
She calmly looked at the palm rapidly flying toward her and stood stably as if she didn’t plan to retaliate. She also didn’t look shocked or nervous at all.
Elder Chen Ke’s aura became harsh, and he was about to take action!
Suddenly, a white gleam of light flew across the sky!
Whoosh!
The sound of something breaking was heard, and the white gleam directly flew out from the gigantic orange palm.
Bang!
The palm disintegrated, and the force within started crazily spreading in all directions! But almost at the same time, a transparent barrier quickly appeared and covered everything!
In the blink of an eye, the thick and violent strength quickly disappeared!
The hall resumed its peace.
Everything happened too quickly. Before the crowd could even see what was happening clearly, it had already ended.
When all the commotion was over, many people stared at the white gleam in a daze and then realized that it was actually a… silver chopstick?!
Whoosh!
That item formed a ray of light again and quickly returned! It made a light, crisp sound.
“Dantai Chen, who gave you the guts to cause a commotion here?”
Dantai Chen was shocked and suddenly looked up to see that Jun Jiuqing had already straightened his body and was holding that silver chopstick from just now! Jun Jiuqing actually took action?!
Realizing this, Dantai Chen was shocked and afraid.
Shocked because he didn’t expect Jun Jiuqing to directly take action and not leave him any face.
Afraid because judging from that attack, Jun Jiuqing’s abilities were clearly above his!
If Jun Jiuqing used more strength just now, then—
At that moment, Dantai Chen’s face flashed white and red, and it was incredulous. At this point, he couldn’t tell if Jun Jiuqing took action because he wanted to maintain the Beiming royal family’s authority or… to help Shangguan Yue!
If it were the former, it would be fine as he could just admit his mistake and apologize for it. But if it were the latter… Would it not mean that he had already offended Jun Jiuqing?
“Crown Prince, please forgive me. I-I just saw my daughter being bullied, and I was rash… Hence, I forgot we’re still in the hall…” said Dantai Chen forcefully, wanting to explain himself.
“I can’t control who bullies your daughter, but you can’t take action here!” Jun Jiuqing was too lazy to hear the other man ramble on, and he directly interrupted him.
Dantai Chen felt even more indignant. If I had known this earlier… I really shouldn’t have directly taken action.
Even though Shangguan Yue had also released her force, she did it silently and didn’t attract anyone else’s attention. In contrast, his previous palm directly gave the other party evidence against him.
Dantai Ruoli was also stunned by the scene in front of her. She had always been doted on, and she had the last say in the Taiyu Dynasty, so she was long spoiled. Hence, she hadn’t been able to restrain herself even after coming here.
Until just now when she personally witnessed her own father’s move being easily destroyed by Jun Jiuqing’s one attack, she then realized that this Beiming Dynasty indeed had the ability to be arrogant.
Chu Liuyue’s lips curled up slightly, and she smiled delightfully. “It seems like Senior Dantai and everyone else from the Taiyu Dynasty are a little feisty. Why don’t they wait until the end before they enter Ancient Phoenix Mountain? I’m afraid it’ll be inappropriate to enter with so much anger within them, right?”
When Dantai Chen heard this, his heart tightened. This Shangguan Yue is indeed cunning! She managed to get the front position because of my words, yet she actually wants Taiyu to be last?
“No—”
“That makes sense.” Ning Yuan—who had been observing the entire time—suddenly spoke and agreed to it.
“Since this is so, our Dongning can be third.” On the other side, Gongsun Xiao changed his mind when he saw this scene. Even though he wanted to be as forward as possible, the situation was complicated, and it was best not to cause so much trouble.
He thought for a moment and agreed to it. “Brother Ning, then it’s fine if we go behind you since you’re right after Tianling, right?”
Other than the Taiyu Dynasty, everyone else naturally had no issues with it.
Dantai Chen held it in until his lungs were about to explode.
It was fine if Shangguan Yue was the only one who said this, but Ning Yuan and Gongsun Xiao all nodded in agreement right after, so what else could he say?
One had to know that out of all these dynasties, their Taiyu Dynasty was only stronger than the Tianling Dynasty. How would he dare to openly go against the rest?
Chu Liuyue looked up and glanced at Dantai Chen. “Senior Dantai, what do you think?”
Dantai Chen swallowed the bloody aura tumbling in his throat. “This is… great!”
