The Sixth Prince turned dark upon hearing An Xue Yunâs confession.
He doesnât know who that person is nor does he know about the relationship between the two of them. But, An Xue Yunâs words are an insult to his p<del>ride</del> face.
Everybody knows he is after An Xue Yunâs hand in marriage. An Xue Yun saying that her heart belonged to someone else would have made him boiling with anger.
But, he chose to remain calm. Yulan Palace is a force outside the influence of the empires. Martial Goddess Tian Yin is also someone who is known for being very strong. Even the strongest of the Divine Sword Clan, Sword God Feng Yi will lose if they ever come into combat with each other. At least, you wonât anyone else in the Zhou Empire that can make an enemy of someone this strong.
As a disciple to Martial Goddess Tian Yin, sheâs not someone he can mess with in any manner he chooses.
Thereâs even news that whoever can marry a disciple of the Lord of Yulan Palace shall get higher priority in the emperorâs consideration when he chooses his successor.
Zhou Yan awkwardly laughed.
âI wonder what kind of gallant man can earn the faithful attention of Young Miss Xue Yun, such a man would earn the ire of every man.â
The other clan member of the top noble families started discussing among themselves. They never thought An Xue Yunâs indirect rejection would be met with this kind of attitude from the Sixth Prince. Surely, only someone who came from Yulan Palace wouldnât be fazed by the princeâs affection nor care for their face when turning the princeâs feelings down.
Lin Yin is seriously confused. She tried so damn hard to get the Sixth Prince to notice her. Once she marries into the imperial family, sheâs going to be able to live a life devoid of worries. Why would An Xue Yun so foolishly turn down a glorious life like this?
Ye XingHe watched this debate from some distance away.
An Xue Yun is the most salient individual in this group of people. He kept his eyes on An Xue Yun, he wanted to talk with her but with so many people around her, he reckoned he should take a wait-and-see approach. It didnât amuse him that the Sixth Prince tried to chat An Xue Yun up.
An Xue Yunâs defiant confession stirred him into action. He can no longer hold back his desire to appear in front of An Xue Yun so he stepped forward.
An Xue Yun couldnât care less about the people gossiping around her. She stared into the distance in a daze. Suddenly, a familiar figure appeared in her line of sight. Isnât that Ye XingHe whoâs been running through her mind all day now?
Feeling sour, she turned her head the other way. Sheâs not mentally prepared to meet or talk with him right now.
Heâs already an item with Xia Yu Ning.
Zhou Yan and Baili Qiu Ze noticed her look and they turned their heads in Ye XingHeâs direction.
âYou!â
Baili Qiu Ze remembers Ye XingHe. Heâs the one who used Fading Star Explosion on him, sending him packing back to the capital the last time they met.
Zhou Yan sized Ye XingHe up with eagle-like eyes. From her words and actions, this person known as Ye XingHe meant very much to An Xue Yun.
Her distant look and attitude is probably because of Ye XingHe.
As a lofty prince, how can he tolerate his crush An Xue Yun pining after another man like this?
âIsnât this the person who beat Lin Yin with a single palm strike?â
One of the noblemen recognized Ye XingHe.
Lin Yin turned green with frustration. Ye XingHe embarrassed her multiple times already. Too bad her cultivation is weaker than Ye XingHe, in fact, sheâs lagging so far behind Ye XingHe itâs practically a joke to compare them.
A bunch of noblemen tried to bloc Ye XingHe, they glared at him.
âName yourself.â
They didnât let Ye XingHe get any closer to the Sixth Prince.
âWhatâs your name, my friend?â
Sixth Prince asked in a friendly tone but his eyes couldnât be any colder.
âYe XingHe!â
He replied without looking at anyone other than An Xue Yun. He wants to clear up the misunderstanding between them. More than anything, he wants to tell her that heâs never going to let her go again.
An Xue Yun averted her gaze while clenching her teeth. Sheâs very clear about the rules in Yu Lan Palace. She understands that she wonât be able to escape Yu Lan Palaceâs supervision, itâs even harder for them to be together. She knows if she really wanted Ye XingHeâs happiness, she should just step down and let them get together, not getting in their way.
But, her mind and heart thought differently. Her pain stopped her from fully going through with her idea.
Baili Qiu Ze backpedaled away. After almost dying at Ye XingHeâs hand, he thought twice about challenging him. With the Sixth Prince here, he might not need to do anything after all.
The sixth prince reckons that although sheâs in love with Ye XingHe, something must have happened to cause their relationships to become rocky. He couldnât care what happened between the both of them but he wants to get his hands on An Xue Yun.
With Yulan Palaceâs support, it would surely solidify his claim on the throne.
âYe XingHe, this is not a place for you to be. Leave and I will pretend I didnât see anything.â
Zhou Yan told him, itâs obvious he wants to pull out the imperial familyâs authority on him.
Ye XingHe didnât give him the time of day. He continued approaching while releasing a bit of his strength. With a loud crash, the two noblemen blocking him got sent flying, they spat out blood and collapsed.
Two sixth Heavenly Realm individuals just got knocked out for trying to go against his aura.
Ye XingHe strong aura made everyone flinch in surprise.
âI am here to take An Xue Yun away, unrelated individuals should get the fuck out of my way!â
Ye XingHe scanned over everyone here.
âI donât give a damn who you people are, imperial, nobles, move or be moved.â
âBrazen and impudent in front of the Sixth Prince, get him!â
