“What?” The exorcist Yuelu turned his head violently to face the ambassador.

The ambassador’s voice was low as he said, “The citizens of all four kingdoms are watching us right now. If you do not apologize, what do you think will be said of Huangzi Kingdom? Everyone would say that we bullied a mere child. Compared to an apology, which action do you think has a bigger impact?”

“But he clearly...” Looking at Ambassador Wang’s expression, Yuelu could only suppress his growing anger with an increasingly red face. To the Little Seventh Prince, he said, “I am sorry.”

The three words were so cold that it seemed like they were gritted out of his tightened jaw, his unwillingness plain as day.

So what if he was unwilling, he was still humiliated in public.

The ambassadors no longer wore the relaxed expressions they had when they arrived. Now, even their smiles looked stiff.

Liu Yu stole a glance at the throne as his eyes shone brightly. The Third Princess Consort’s trick was effective.

Baili Jia Jue also looked at Helian Wei Wei with an indulgent smile playing on his lips, as if he was saying, “How could you be so shameless?”

Helian Wei Wei seemed to have understood, and replied in a low voice, “I learned this from you. Also it was the other party that was shameless first for bullying our Little Seventh Prince.”

“Yeah, they bullied me.” Little Seventh Prince nodded his head gleefully.

The shadow guard watching by the side felt conflicted. He had been serving in the palace for many years, yet he had never seen anyone who could actually bully the Seventh Prince. It was already a wonder that he did not beat anyone up, let alone get bullied himself. Also... what was that remark about timidity? Was it really meant for their Seventh Prince, who had always been an unabashed troublemaker?

He had to digest what he heard properly...

The ambassadors would most definitely not forget their initial intentions just like that. With this verbal setback, they would definitely find other avenues to achieve victory.

“Let them have their fun for the moment. When the Xuanyuan Kingdom arrives, they would not be able to laugh anymore. By then, we will have the final say.” Ambassador Wang took the opportunity to whisper into an angry Yuelu’s ear as he took his cup. “The War Dragon Kingdom lacks talented necromancers. It will be a piece of cake for you to teach them a lesson.”

Yuelu drank a mouthful of wine angrily. As he placed his cup down, his eyes flashed evilly.

ambassador Wang stood up after advising him and said politely, “Third Prince, Huangzi Kingdom has never fought a war with anyone. We always put our citizens first. We have rushed here overnight after hearing that the seal in the Capital is vulnerable. Our only intention is to save the people from any risk of danger. Would the Third Prince give the Huangzi Kingdom a chance?”

Upon hearing that, a mysterious look came into Baili Jia Jue’s dark eyes, as if he was analyzing something. Then, he crossed his arms and held up his chin as his lips slowly stretched into a cold smile. “What kind of chance does Lord Wang want from me?”

“My country would like to contribute in terms of strength. We can send our best exorcists and guard soldiers to be stationed near the capital.” ambassador Wang noticed that he took the bait, hence he continued with enthusiasm. “You do not have to be overly courteous, Your Highness. This is a unique situation. The four kingdoms should unite and overcome this together.”

Baili Jia Jue listened to the ambassador as he twisted the ring on his finger. He chuckled softly as he said, “Ambassador Wang, what you meant was that if Huangzi Kingdom was facing a problem, I could just bring an army over? After all, I would just be sending aid. I heard that your Fourth Prince seem to fancy abducting village girls recently. Shadow guards, go gather our troops. Tomorrow we shall head over to help the Huang Emperor educate his son. What do you think about this plan, Ambassador Wang?”

Ambassador Wang’s face contorted as it turned purple, his fingers trembling with anger, but he had no words to refute.

Other than his sharp tongue, the prince’s gaze was particularly cold. Just by looking at him, Ambassador Wang felt like he was falling into a reverse type of hell where everything was icy cold...

At this moment, a clear, mellow voice came from beyond the palace. “This plan is definitely not appropriate.”

Everyone looked toward the source of the voice.

A man in a green shirt and white robes walked into the palace with a line of people following after him. Other than the ambassadors, there was also a person who was dressed like an elder. The man has a face of sharp edges, with a tall and straight nose bridge and thin lips. His black hair draped over his fur coat, and one of his ears was adorned with a white jade earring. Overall, his imposing manner screamed nobility, especially his dark eyes. They were as black as the deep sea, with an intense, bewitching power to them.

He walked to the centre of the palace with a neutral grin on his face. “However, compared to a selfish personal gain, rescuing thousands of citizens from the risk of danger should be the priority of a ruler. Plans can be reconsidered, but most importantly, we need to solve the Capital’s current issue.”

“That’s the crown prince of Xuanyuan Kingdom, Zongzheng Wen Ren!” Someone could not help but yell out after seeing the man.

The name ‘Zongzheng Wen Ren’ made everyone present gasp dramatically. However, Helian Wei Wei kept her head bowed demurely, not interested in checking out the man in the centre.Read more chapter on NovelFull

Zongzheng Wen Ren was a well-known, good-looking man and the Xuanyuan Dynasty’s appointed heir. He had already achieved the golden martial rank of Qi. Rumor had it that he was as strong as Baili Jia Jue. Compared to Baili Jia Jue’s indifferent low profile, he had always been involved in politics in his own country. He had been appointed as the crown prince from a young age. Not only was he good with martial Qi, he was exceptional in diplomacy as well. Most importantly, he was also an exorcist, though no one knew how strong his strengths in exorcism were.

Zongzheng Wen Ren laughed lightly and turned his head around. “Elder, do share your thoughts about your journey here to the War Dragon Dynasty.”

“Vengeful wraiths haunted the roads, and the livestock were restless.” Elder Xu Wu caressed his moustache and said. “The Capital’s Qi is at its limit now. If no exorcist takes action, the seal would be completely damaged within a month. When that moment arrives, the demons will riot and mankind would be non-existent. Third Prince, for the sake of the living, Xuanyang Kingdom would not back down half a step for this matter. I believe that the other two neighbouring countries would think similarly.”

Ambassador Wang echoed the sentiment immediately. “What he said is true. What is happening with the Seal is imminent, we must act upon it immediately.”

Elder Xu Wu smiled brightly and said, “If the Third Prince is worried about the issue of army loyalties, there is a solution. As long as the two kingdoms become family, would this not solve it all?”

Hearing this, Baili Jia Jue did not utter a single word. He merely slanted his head aside and rested his face on his palm, smiling at Helian Wei Wei. Her face appealed to him very much.

He actually wanted to see what expression his pet would have.

But what disappointed him was that his little fox was rather calm.

Helian Wei Wei’s face did not show anything, but her pupils turned cold...

The Little Seventh Prince noticed the atmosphere, and took a step forward bravely as he began to rub his fists.

He thought in his heart: In a moment, if Third Aunt loses control and beats someone up, I would rush forward and sneakily add a few kicks as well!
