Chapter 1152 (The Reckless)
Chapter 1152 (The Reckless)
In the woodshed.
Yi Yi sat on the bed, looking at the clothes on the table that Gong Yue had sent over. When the time comes, she can blend in with the palace maids, serving dishes and delivering wine. That will be her chance. She won't bear this accusation, even if it costs her life. Yi Yi lay down slowly, took out a small mirror, and gently touched it. The current Ye Ye won't use this to talk to her anymore. Does he really not trust her?
Then she took out the unfinished lollipop, looked at it, and put it back.
'Tomorrow…'
'Ye Ye, I am not a spy!'
Early morning.
In the snow-filled northern region of Northern Chill, only the sky above the Voidless Empire displayed warm sunlight. On this day, the sun was shining brightly, and all the residents were filled with a sense of joy.
Even most people wore red clothes, celebrating this moment! This was the most grand banquet held since the founding of the Voidless Empire. It even gathered most of the forces in the northern region, showing the weight of the Voidless Empire. After all, others would only come if given face.
"Voidless Empire is truly extraordinary," murmured Shi Yu from the Three Supreme Hall."Yeah, just a few months ago, we were standing outside the city, almost dead," said Xiang Liren from Breaking Moon Valley, who was one of the three survivors at that time and still felt terrified.
Fan Jin, standing beside them, sighed inwardly. Were it not for his cleverness that day, he might not be standing here now.
"Being invited is really an honour," Fan Jin said softly. Today would be one of the most unforgettable days of his life.
If there was another memorable day, it would be that day! It shook him so much that he was mentally exhausted for several days, haunted by nightmares.
Standing under the city yesterday, everyone was trembling, and the memory was still fresh.
"Overlord Fan Jin." A voice sounded behind Fan Jin.
Fan Jin turned around and looked back, softly calling out, "So it's Jiu Ming from the Storm Gate, long time no see."
The Storm Gate naturally belonged to the forces of the Ancient Land, and their visit this time was just to join in the fun.
Jiu Ming, with a youthful appearance, looked a bit flamboyant, as evident from his gorgeous attire.
Like a celebrity returning to the countryside, making everyone admire him... However, Jiu Ming didn't have that feeling of superiority, as if he was looking at ordinary people.
His courage was truly extraordinary!
Jiu Ming looked at Xiang Liren and Shi Yu beside Fan Jin, not paying them any attention. For these small sects and factions, waving his hand was enough.
It was only Fan Jin whom he couldn't afford to offend.
And Fan Jin, while fearing the Voidless Empire, didn't fear Jiu Ming. After all, he had one foot in the realm of Overlord!
"Overlord Fan Jin, I feel that the Voidless Empire may be exaggerating a bit," Jiu Ming said indifferently, appropriately calling Fan Jin an Overlord.
Fan Jin snorted inwardly, feeling the same way when he arrived.
It felt like the Voidless Empire was just a tiger on the surface, never expecting its strength to be more terrifying than an evil dragon.
Regarding Jiu Yang's mockery, Fan Jin casually said, "Oh, you'll know when the time comes."
Shi Yu and Xiang Liren remained silent. If he spoke nicely, they might remind him, but acting arrogantly like this would let him taste bitterness later. By then, he would realise the value of life.
"Overlord Fan Jin, Master Jiu Yang." At this moment, another man walked over, a faint smile on his lips, appearing very approachable.
He was Bai Dou, the head of the Twin Dragon Academy.
"Bai Dou," Fan Jin greeted softly, and Shi Yu and Xiang Liren also spoke up.
"Bai Dou, how does it feel here?" Jiu Yang chuckled, with a hint of mockery.
Bai Dou surveyed the surroundings, smiling slightly, "The Voidless Empire is the most prosperous I have seen, comparable to the Elysian Mountain Fief of the south."
"The Bright Mist Principality has the Divine Scripture Academy. What's so special about the Voidless Empire?" Jiu Yang snorted, actually feeling jealous in his heart. The Voidless Empire was indeed prosperous and well-organised, compared to his own territory, which seemed like a bandit's den.
Bai Dou didn't argue, "Although it has prospered a bit, I still think the guards and others here are a bit lacking."
Hearing Bai Dou's words, the three of them couldn't help but laugh.
To actually say that the combat strength here is lacking, if you two were present at that time, you would know what combat strength is. It would scare you to the point of wetting your pants.
Bai Dou continued, "For a little prince's wedding in the Voidless Empire, so many people have been mobilised. It's really a huge fuss."
"If I wasn't idle with nothing to do, I wouldn't bother to come over and take a look." Jiu Yang coldly snorted.
Fan Jin, who originally wanted to remind them a few words, decided not to say anything.
If you two want to act recklessly, no one will blame you.
"I heard that the Prime Yang Mansion attacked the Voidless Empire. Where did that person go? Quite strange." Jiu Yang curiously asked.
Bai Dou opened his folding fan with a snap and said casually, "Who knows? Maybe the Voidless Empire wiped out him."
Of the three survivors back then, Ye Hua had originally wanted them to spread the news.
But these three didn't mention it at all, afraid to mention it, scared out of their wits.
"Maybe he went to another place. Who knows." Jiu Yang shrugged. Changing places would be better, avoiding unnecessary conflicts.
At this moment, Fan Jin said lightly, "It's about time. Let's enter the palace."
With Fan Jin as the leader, everyone nodded. In addition to these, some people from the empire also arrived, but they did not participate in their conversation.
The wedding ceremony was, of course, held outside the palace, in the open air, similar to that day in the Spirit City. However, the venue and grandeur were even more magnificent, surrounded entirely by black-armoured warriors standing guard.
A red carpet extended from the palace gate to the grand hall, with soldiers in red armour standing on either side for a festive atmosphere.
At the palace gate, Zi Shan and Yue Hua were counting the number of people, ensuring that no one sneaked in.
Mainly, it was a security check to see if anyone had entered to cause trouble.
Because today, the emperor had specifically instructed not to take things lightly.
"These women of the Voidless Empire do look quite good," Jiu Yang whispered as he observed Zi Shan and Yue Hua.
No matter how softly he spoke, both Zi Shan and Yue Hua could hear. They immediately turned their gaze towards Jiu Yang, and his audacity was beyond ordinary.
Even though Jiu Yang originally wanted to continue teasing them, his subconscious told him it was better to keep quiet.
Fan Jin, Shi Yu, and Xiang Liren had seen Yue Hua that day while standing on the city wall.
This woman... is not to be messed with!
They quickly lowered their heads and entered the venue.
On the side, Bai Dou, seeing Fan Jin bowing his head, thought that he might have dropped something. He also quickly lowered his head to check.
Bai Dou's act of bowing his head inadvertently saved his life.
