It wasn’t that Su Miaoyan was jealous, her teenage skin was nothing compared to Saint Ruan’s!
This was so infuriating!
Saint Ruan touched his smooth skin with a hint of pride. “Staying youthful is just my specialty.”
Su Miaoyan felt deeply envious. She knew people aged, but someone like Saint Ruan, an old man still looking so youthful at over seventy, was truly enviable. Suddenly, she wanted to seek his advice.
Saint Ruan squinted mischievously. “Little Miss, do you want to stay forever young? Come, let me show you how!”
As he spoke, he stealthily pulled out a bottle of poison from his sleeve. Su Yingxue slapped his head. “How dare you corrupt my sister? I ll beat you to death!”
“Hiss… That’s it! Maintain this momentum until Chu Yihan and Qin Muyan’s duel tomorrow, I guarantee that Chu Yihan will win!”
Rubbing his head, Saint Ruan raised his chin at Su Yingxue.
Su Yingxue suddenly realized Saint Ruan was teasing her deliberately, hoping she wouldn’t be so anxious.
Saint Ruan detested discussions about his age, but for Su Yingxue’s sake, he had to endure it.
He placed a hand on her shoulder and admitted, “With my seventy years of experience, let me tell you, the duel between Chu Yihan and Qin Muyan isn’t just about them. Instead of worrying here about him getting hurt or such, you’d better prepare the best golden wound medicine for him. No matter how badly he’s injured, even the King of Hell can’t take him away from you. That way… it’ll put his mind at ease!”
“Shut up! Your Highness won’t get hurt! Let alone die!”
Angered, Su Yingxue kicked Saint Ruan away.
But she had to admit, he was right!
Her worries couldn’t change the fact that she didn’t want either Chu Yihan or Qin Muyan hurt, so she had to prepare the medicine!
Su Miaoyan assisted Su Yingxue for a long time and insisted on going with her the next day. Su Yingxue didn’t argue and took her along.
In their eyes, they were only concerned about Chu Yihan and Qin Muyan’s showdown.
Little did they know, at that moment in the palace, Chu Chengye, clad in armor, walked into the imperial study with a solemn and murderous aura. “Father, the Imperial Guards have been mobilized. All the secret guards and experts around me have already been stationed in ambush to the west of the city.”
On Chu Mingyuan’s desk lay a precious sword. His composed face betrayed a barely contained excitement and eagerness. “After so many years… I’ve waited so long, and finally, the opportunity is here! Chu Yihan!”
“Father, this time, 1 will spare no effort to bring Chu Yihan’s head to you!”
Chu Chengye knelt, his eyes oozing with a sinister aura.
“No! 1 want to behead him personally! You must capture him alive! 1 want to present my ninth brother to Father personally!”
Chu Mingyuan unsheathed his sword, its blade emanating a chilling light, symbolizing imperial authority.
This was the Great Cheng Dynasty’s imperial sword!
Something that rightfully belonged to him, but his father had wanted to bestow it upon the young Chu Yihan. How could he accept that?
Chu Chengye nodded. “Yes, Father, 1 will ensure that Chu Yihan is brought to you alive, and his head will be displayed on the city gate tower. All his military power will be seized!”
“Good! If his military power is seized, I will hand you the Imperial Seal and proclaim you Crown Prince!”
Chu Mingyuan made a solemn promise. The temptation of inheriting the empire was enough to make Chu Chengye risk everything!
He had been eyeing the Marquis’s Manor for a long time. Knowing that Chu Yihan intended to find Qin Muyan, he began to make arrangements. He secretly mobilized troops and set up an ambush as quickly as possible. This time, he sought to avenge his past!
Su Yingxue and Chu Yihan had to die!
