At the very least, no one would dare to challenge his authority!
As for what others had to say, who cared?
In a few days, Jinwei Land would surely regain its tranquility, or so the Emperor of Jinwei Land believed.
Wang Yuankui received the signal and launched an attack on Gu Chaoyan. Confronting Wang Yuankui, Gu Chaoyan retaliated with a powerful slap, causing Wang Yuankui to stagger and tumble backward, a look of surprise on
his face.
But…
She possessed surprising strength.
Disregarding everything else, Wang Yuankui swiftly regained his footing and clapped his hands, signaling the guards waiting outside to intervene.
The guards rushed in, converging upon Gu Chaoyan.
With the assistance of her nanny, Gu Chaoyan didn’t even allow them a chance to approach, fiercely slapping them aside.
“Quick, summon the Imperial Master!” The Emperor of Jinwei Land cried out in alarm.
“Right away,” Zhang Cailiang hurriedly exited the room, while Wang Yuankui was pulled back by the Emperor of Jinwei Land for protection.
Xu Xunnan remained within the imperial study.
If she were to entertain the idea of a direct assault on him, the Emperor, he would be in dire straits.
He could only hope she hadn’t contemplated such an action.
Gu Chaoyan possessed the intelligence to consider such a course of action. She had contemplated it, yet her intention was not to disrupt the leadership of Jinwei Land by dethroning the Emperor.
Her aim was simple: she wanted the Emperor of Jinwei Land to grasp the futility of directly attacking her.
The guards proved incapable of subduing her, so the Imperial Master was hastily summoned.
However, the outcome mirrored that of the previous guards – Gu Chaoyan’s strike nearly incapacitated him.
Surveying her surroundings, Gu Chaoyan withdrew her hands and shifted her gaze towards the Emperor of Jinwei Land.
“Please spare my life!” The Emperor of Jinwei Land pleaded, his fear palpable.
He had been careless, opting for this secluded location instead of the more fortified hall. He had left himself exposed without any protection.
In this moment, he felt a twinge of frustration directed at Wang Yuankui. If Wang lacked the competence, why had he rushed in? His impulsive act could have alerted their adversary.
The Emperor kicked Wang Yuankui. “Who do you think you are to attack Lady Xu so recklessly?”
“Lady Xu, I summoned you to the palace for a conversation, not with the intention of attacking. You’ve had a chance to express your frustration. If you still have any left, I’ll have this unfortunate individual meet his end,” the Emperor of Jinwei Land stated.
Wang Yuankui wore an aggrieved expression, but the Emperor of Jinwei Land paid him no mind.
Gu Chaoyan calmly resumed her seat as though the scuffle had never occurred, and the imDerial studv remained unscathed.
She regarded the Emperor of Jinwei Land with composure. “Now, can we engage in a civil conversation?”
“Of course. I invited you to the palace for a reason – to discuss matters. Please, Lady Xu, feel free to express your requests and desires openly. If it’s within my power to grant them, I shall do so,” the Emperor of Jinwei Land assured.
Gu Chaoyan offered a brief smile in response.
“In that case, I’ll tell you.”
“Now, it’s evident that Jinwei Land cannot persist in this prolonged impasse.
Therefore, we must return to the status quo.”
“For countless generations, the tradition in Jinwei Land has been that women refrain from pursuing cultivation.”
“Yes, that time-honored tradition has held for centuries,” the Emperor of Jinwei Land expressed, hoping for Gu Chaoyan’s concurrence.
“However… “
