Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Cloaked in a mysterious black robe, the man stood tall and erect, his figure commanding attention. He wore a dark silk robe adorned with intricate patterns of gray-blue hues. His visage exuded exceptional handsomeness, highlighted by well-defined features. Thick eyebrows gracefully stretched toward his temples, framing a pair of captivating starlit eyes. His nose, prominent and refined, rested above thin, finely contoured lips.
Just from his appearance, he bore a resemblance to Qitian Yu by about thirty percent, but he outshone even Qitian Yu in terms of appearance.
What drew even more attention was his aura. Simply appearing there made it impossible for people to overlook him!
Gu Qingluan couldn’t discern the man’s cultivation level and immediately assumed a guarded posture.
Both individuals landed one after the other.
Upon seeing Feng Tianlan, Qitian You’s heart skipped a beat.
Why is this guy here too?
Didn’t Old Fifth kidnap First Lady Gu’s son and anger her?
Then he took a closer look—there was no way that was First Lady Gu’s son. That young boy was clearly the son of Prince Lan!
A wry smile tugged at the corner of Qitian You’s mouth.
So, it was actually Prince Lan that Old Fifth offended?
If that was the case, they might not be able to save Old Fifth even if they came.
Qitian You wiped the fine sweat from his forehead and surveyed his surroundings.
The scene was a mess, with bones scattered everywhere.
A horrifying sight!
The sheer devastation made it easy to imagine the ruthlessness of the one who attacked.
Qitian You felt like he was in a really tough spot. Why did he have to be the one to save Old Fifth?
In his view, even if Old Fifth died, it might not quench Prince Lan’s fury.
However, being entrusted with the task in a crucial moment, even though it was challenging, he had no choice but to carry it out.
He cleared his throat and greeted Feng Tianlan with a clasped fist, then greeted Gu Qingluan and Feng Yuanxi as well.
Gu Qingluan shifted her gaze from the man beside the Crown Prince to Qitian Yu and said coldly, “Today, I’m determined to take this scum’s life!”
Qitian You fell silent for a moment and tried to soothe her. “Miss Gu, calm down. Old Fifth did something wrong, but he’s still a prince. Have you considered the consequences of killing him?”
“Is it equivalent to massacring the entire royal family?” Gu Qingluan asked mockingly.
“Um… not to that extend…”
Even if she wanted to wipe out the entire royal family, she might not have the ability.
Furthermore, the Emperor held First Lady Gu and the significance of the Island of No Return in high regard. He would be reluctant to engage in any conflict with First Lady Gu.
“Then don’t stop me.” Gu Qingluan’s gaze turned cold as she looked at him. “Unless, you want to be my enemy.”
Qitian You glanced at her, then at the son of Prince Lan she was holding, and finally at Prince Lan himself standing beside her.
It was evident that these two were currently in agreement.
Even if he dared to oppose Gu Qingluan, he wouldn’t dare to go against Prince Lan.
Qitian You turned his head slightly and exchanged a look with the Second Imperial Uncle who had come with him.
Prince He, Qifei He, was the younger brother of the Emperor and the only Saint in the imperial family.
Judging by appearances alone, he didn’t look much older than Qitian You.
His demeanor was much more composed than Qitian You’s.
He casually glanced at Qitian Yu on the ground and his voice turned indifferent, “What use is there in keeping this trash?”
“Second Imperial Uncle!” Qitian Yu was taken aback.
What did the Second Imperial Uncle mean?
Did he intend to let him die?
Qitian You was also surprised, turning to look at He Wang. “Second Imperial Uncle, Fifth Brother won the selection match and has qualified to enter the Qiankun Academy. As long as Fifth Brother can enter the Qiankun Academy, he will surely achieve great things in the future and elevate the prestige of the nation. How can the other princes compare to me?”
Qifei He’s expression remained icy and determined as he stated, “We have plenty of princes within the imperial family, having one less is not a loss.”
Qitian Yu urgently interjected, “Second Imperial Uncle, this imperial nephew emerged victorious in the selection match, securing qualification for entry into the Qiankun Academy. As long as this imperial nephew can enter the Qiankun Academy, 1 am bound to achieve remarkable accomplishments, elevating the prestige of the Chengyuan Nation. How can other princes compare to me?” Those foois, how could they even measure up to him?
After all, he was the most outstanding prince, second only to the Crown Prince!
Qifei He lazily lowered his eyes and glanced down at him, then after a moment, he calmly assessed, “The more 1 look, the more 1 see a trash.”
“Haha!”
A sudden burst of laughter erupted, catching the attention of the crowd..
