âUncle, what should we do now?â At this moment, Tuoba Xun no longer had his proper propriety. It was already good enough for him to hold on and not kneel when faced with Ye Qiuâs pressure.
He would definitely become a laughingstock and a disgrace to the royal family after he returned since the marriage alliance had failed. He was originally the second son, and his status in the imperial court was already very ambiguous. But such a thing had happened.
Tuoba Xun looked deeply at Ye Qiu in the distance and sighed. âSigh⦠Nephew, thereâs only one path left.â
âI hope Uncle can guide me.â Tuoba Xun seemed to have seen hope and hurriedly said.
âGive up on the original marriage partner and choose a new princess.â
âWhatâ¦â Tuoba Xun was indignant. Before he came, he had seen most of the princesses in Liyang. The only one he liked was Zhao Wanâer. He thought that he would be able to return with the beauty, but now, he had to give up and choose againâ¦
He was unwilling, but he had no choice but to submit. Clenching his fists silently, Tuoba Xun gritted his teeth, his expression extremely ugly.
Tuoba Hong comforted him and said, âNephew, if you want to achieve great things, you have to learn to endure it. I know you feel uncomfortable, but now⦠this is the only way. In any case, outsiders donât know who your marriage partner is. As long as we bring the princess back, no one will discover it.â
Tuoba Xun nodded silently and said nothing. He gave in. Although he was unwilling, he had already made a decision after Tuoba Hongâs persuasion. He hated himself for not being the eldest son. Otherwise, this would never have happened.
Tuoba Hong shook his head. His heart ached for this stubborn child, but there was nothing he could do. Who would have thought that Zhao Wanâer would suddenly acknowledge Ye Qiu as her master?
Logically speaking, shouldnât the royal princess be raised in the palace? How could she be related to the famous holy lands of the outside world? Moreover, she was actually a disciple of the Violet Cloud Peak. This special name had a heavy meaning to Tuoba Hong.
âAlright! Letâs end this matter here. I donât want to say anything else. I donât care how your two dynasties get married. However, my disciple will definitely not become a bargaining chip for your diplomatic relationship. If you are unconvinced, feel free to look for meâ¦â Ye Qiu said lightly.
He originally didnât want to interfere in todayâs matter, but after knowing that this matter was related to Zhao Wanâer, he had no choice but to interfere.
After saying that, Ye Qiu slowly walked to Zhao Yiâs side. He looked at this crown prince with providence and nodded in satisfaction.
Zhao Wanâer had told him that the reason why she could run away from home was because of this Crown Prince.
âYouâre⦠not bad.â
Zhao Yi was delighted when Ye Qiu looked at him with admiration.
âZhao Yi greets Perfected Ye.â Zhao Yi politely bowed and said gently.
âYes, Wanâer told me about you! Youâre indeed a handsome young man who was born to be a ruler. Very good.â
âSenior, you flatter me too much. How can I withstand your praise?â
Ye Qiu was a little surprised. He had already praised him so much, yet this kid could still remain calm. It could be seen how steady he was. It seemed that the Zhao Clan already had a good successor.
Ye Qiu didnât say anything. He turned around and said to Xiao Yi, âLetâs go.â
Xiao Yi grinned and glared at Tuoba Xun with disdain. He followed Ye Qiu and left.
Zhao Yiâs lips curled up slightly as he watched them leave. He praised, âHow domineering⦠The past masters of Violet Cloud Peak were all legendary figures. I wonder if this Perfected Ye can break Perfected Xuantianâs record and reach the legendary King-Ranked Realm?â
He was really curious and had high hopes for Ye Qiu. Because he was very young. Young meant great potential. He had already reached the peak of the Cardinal realm at this age. If he was given a little more time, he would quickly break through to the Paragon realm. The King-Ranked realm shouldnât be difficult for him.
Perhaps he would even break the legend that there was no Martial Monarch in the Eastern Wasteland for ten thousand years.
âYour Highness, we might be able to use the princessâ identity as a disciple of Violet Cloud Peak to come into contact with Violet Cloud Peak. We might be able to obtain unexpected gains.â Zhao Qifeng suggested, and this suggestion was immediately approved by Zhao Yi.
He was now the Crown Prince. Although his status was not threatened for the time being, it was extremely helpful for him to obtain the support of a powerful expert in the future.
âYes, Uncle Feng, youâre right. Looks like I have to visit Violet Cloud Peak and see how my Sister Wanâer is doing.â Zhao Yi nodded and looked at Tuoba Hong. Xiao Yiâs matter had been resolved.
Ye Qiu didnât argue with them. Perhaps in the eyes of an expert like him, Tuoba Xun was just a clown. He didnât take him seriously at all, let alone to settle the score with him.
âPlease follow me. My father has been waiting in the Liyang Palace for a long time. My father will give the two of you an explanation when we return to the palace.â
Zhao Yi no longer had any interest in these two people. He only wanted to fulfill his duty and bring them back. The rest was none of his business.
At this moment, in the wasteland not far away, the Giant-toothed Dragon Lizard had already broken down.?F*ck, can you respect me? Although I only have the strength of the Infinite Distance realm, Iâm still famous for being ferocious. Did you guys consider my feelings when you ignored me and chatted for so long?
Originally, Tuoba Xunâs team had attracted Ye Qiu and Xiao Yi because they were fighting this Giant-toothed Dragon Lizard. It was precisely because of this that the conflict just now happened.
âHmph, ant, dieâ¦â After calming down, Tuoba Hong looked at the Giant-toothed Dragon Lizard on the Gobi Desert and slapped it to death.
Alright, it had successfully ended his scene after being neglected for so long.
At this moment, a hundred miles away, Ye Qiu and Xiao Yi had already entered the Land of Silence. It was very quiet here. The fog was thick and visibility was extremely low.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
On the way, Xiao Yi endured for a long time before he finally couldnât help but ask curiously, âSenior, was that Tuoba Xun just now Sister Wanâerâs marriage partner?â
âYesâ¦â Ye Qiu replied as he checked the situation ahead.
âThen why donât you slap him to death? Wouldnât Sister Wanâerâs matter be completely resolved then?â
Ye Qiu turned around and looked at him as if he was looking at a retard.
âKid, remember this! Not everything can be solved by killing. If you kill Tuoba Xun today, there will still be Touba B and Tuoba C. This matter will never stop as long as the two dynasties are willing to have a marriage alliance. So, all you can do is pressure them and force them to replace Wanâer so that she can escape. Sometimes people are more valuable to you alive than dead. Do you understand?â Ye Qiu said earnestly.
Xiao Yi thought for a moment and his eyes lit up. He seemed to understand, but he also didnât seem to understand.
âSighâ¦â Ye Qiu sighed. This child was useless. He would mention it to Xiao Zhan another day.
