The angrier the King of Baizhou Land beca, the more satisfaction Gu Chaoyan derived.
“Your Majesty, I apologize for any offense my earlier question may have caused. I was simply seeking clarification,” Gu Chaoyan said, her voice taking on a tone of trepidation, as if she remained genuinely fearful.
Only then did the King of Baizhou Land begin to relax slightly.
He had no desire to squander ti on soone like her. He rely wanted to expedite their departure from Baizhou Land.
The King of Baizhou Land was on the brink of speaking, but Gu Chaoyan interjected hurriedly, “And, Your Majesty, you ntioned that won are useless and that cultivating is a waste of ti. Why do you consistently hold such beliefs?”
“Just because the won in Baizhou Land may not fulfill your expectations, it doesn’t an that all won in the world are the sa. It’s possible that it’s your perspective that’s flawed,” Gu Chaoyan declared candidly.
Her gaze t his without a hint of mockery; she was earnest in her statent. Nonetheless, her words contained subtle taunts aid at the King of Baizhou Land and his domain. This was certain to irk him.
He had been raised among individuals who were deferential, both in the palace and outside of it. No one had dared to overstep their boundaries or speak impudently in his presence. This woman from Jinwei Land was the first to challenge that norm.
For the first ti, he encountered such a defiant individual. He was montarily at a loss for how to respond, his anger coursing through him, seeking an outlet. If she had been from Baizhou Land, he could have simply eliminated her. However, she hailed from Jinwei Land, complicating any direct course of action.
“The envoy of Jinwei Land, take a good look at your companion. She appears to have disregarded propriety entirely. How do you propose we address her transgression?” bellowed the King of Baizhou Land.
The envoy from Jinwei Land felt the strength drain from his legs. He was caught in a perilous situation with no room for offense. Offending the King of Baizhou Land could potentially result in dire consequences, and Xu Xunnan, despite her cultivation prowess, had already been injured by the Imperial Master. The King wished to impart a lesson through the King of Baizhou Land’s hands, but he had not provided any guidance on how to handle Xu Xunnan. This left the envoy in a state of intense anxiety, sweat forming on his forehead.
His gaze briefly shifted to the Third Prince, who chose to avert his eyes, feigning ignorance. He had rely been brought along to Baizhou Land to represent the royal family and was not entrusted with any specific tasks. Understanding Xu Xunnan’s reputation, he had no desire to provoke her, especially since he lacked favor within the palace. It was one thing to endure his own mistreatnt, but crossing paths with Xu Xunnan could result in a united front of Jinwei Land’s won opposing him in the future. Such a life held no appeal for him.
Jinwei Land’s envoy, his voice trembling, was left with no option but to utter, “King of Baizhou Land, we are currently in Baizhou Land’s domain. If I have offended you, I trust that you will deal with it according to your own judgnt.”
“Deal with them?” The King of Baizhou Land initially expressed surprise before responding impolitely, “Deal with them, indeed. Guards, seize these won and carry out their punishnt!”
The Baizhou Land guards eagerly advanced to surround the won.
The envoy from Jinwei Land’s countenance stiffened. He hadn’t anticipated that the King of Baizhou Land would opt for such a direct and extre asure. This turn of events left him deeply concerned. If Xu Xunnan chose to hold him responsible…
However, the Baizhou Land guards had not yet reached Gu Chaoyan. The envoy realized that the situation had not yet reached its climax.
