Young Master in Flower City

Chapter 970 971: Setting a Trap for the Enemy

"What exactly do you want?" Liu Xiang's sharp gaze suddenly intensified, seemingly having realized something, while Zhao Hou laughed dismissively, "Nothing much, just want to invite the Prime Minister's wife, son, and daughter for a cup of tea. I think the Prime Minister wouldn't refuse, right?"

Hua~

Upon hearing this, a terrifying pressure erupted from Liu Xiang, and the aura of the Martial King Realm directly enveloped Zhao Hou, with his gaze on Xiao Mu.

He said coldly, "Troubles should not affect family members. If you want to capture someone, capture me. This has nothing to do with my family!"

"I think the Prime Minister is mistaken. We simply want to invite your wife, son, and daughter for tea, nothing else!" Zhao Hou replied indifferently, but his mocking tone was piercing to the ears.

He continued, "Prime Minister, you'd better not act rashly. Doing so will do you no good, and might even endanger your family!"

After speaking, three strong Martial King Realm individuals behind Zhao Hou released their aura, instantly filling the Prime Minister's Mansion with terrifying pressure, causing Liu Xiang's heart to tremble. Although he is also a Martial King, the other side, including Zhao Hou, has four people.

Therefore, even if he takes action, it will be to no avail, and as Zhao Hou said, it might endanger his family.

Thus, Liu Xiang snorted coldly, "Tell me what you want me to do!"

"It's very simple!" Zhao Hou looked at Liu Xiang and said, "Just invite Liu Yan to your mansion as a guest, and nothing else concerns you. Of course, I guarantee your family won't be harmed!"

"Wishful thinking!" Liu Xiang snorted.

"Is it really wishful thinking?" Zhao Hou said calmly, suddenly reaching out to grab a young man, causing Liu Xiang to be dumbfounded, "What do you want to do?"

"What do I want to do, I've already explained it clearly!" Zhao Hou said coldly, lifting the young man up, causing him to panic, "Father, save me..."

And Zhao Hou continued, "I know the Prime Minister is loyal to His Majesty, but now the foundation of Cangye Kingdom is shaking, and the throne could change at any moment. The Prime Minister ought to recognize the situation and need not be loyal to the Cangye Emperor anymore, which will only lead to the ruin of your family!"

After speaking, Zhao Hou tightened his grasp on the young man's throat, causing the young man's face to turn pale and his breath to become unstable, possibly dying at any moment.

Seeing this, Liu Xiang immediately spoke, "Fine, I promise you, but you must not harm my family, or I won't let you go even as a ghost!"

"That's the spirit!" Zhao Hou slowly loosened his grip on the young man, saying lightly, "Killing your family brings no benefit to me, so you can rest assured about that. Of course, if the Princess doesn't come alone to your mansion as a guest, then that's another story!"

After saying that, Zhao Hou instructed the few behind him, "Take the Prime Minister's wife and others into the inner hall, treat them well, and if anything goes wrong, I will hold you accountable!"

"Yes, Marquis!" Two guards nodded, leading the people from the Prime Minister's Mansion into the inner hall, while Zhao Hou looked at Liu Xiang with a smile, "Now, are you at ease?"

"You'd better not play tricks!" Liu Xiang snorted coldly, lifted his steps and left the Prime Minister's Mansion, eventually drawing an arc in the night sky, shimmering away while Zhao Hou, sitting in the guest hall, showed a faint smile. As long as he gets the Jade Seal for the Southern King, he will be a meritorious minister, with boundless prospects ahead.

...

Imperial Palace, Princess Mansion.

Now that Cangye Emperor has lost his power, the Princess Mansion is also affected, being extremely desolate. There's only one or two guards at the door, showing how bleak the soon-to-be-fallen Cangye is now.

Inside the Princess Mansion's hall, a group sat there, consisting mostly of loyal palace maids from the Princess Mansion, as well as Xiao Tianyu, Ye Qingcheng, Liu Yuan, and Liu Yan.

As for the group from the Haotian Sect, they were arranged in a luxurious guesthouse, after all, they are considered esteemed guests.

"Tianyu, can my father really recover?" To this day, Liu Yan still couldn't believe Xiao Tianyu had that ability, after all, even a Martial Emperor couldn't do it, so she doubted how Xiao Tianyu could accomplish it.

"With me acting, do you still have doubts?" Xiao Tianyu rolled his eyes at Liu Yan, causing Liu Yan to be stunned. Is this bastard really that confident? Yet, Xiao Tianyu sat there, still speaking earnestly, "Brother, undefeated for many years!"

Puh puh puh~

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingcheng and Liu Yuan both spat out the tea they had just drank, each looking at Xiao Tianyu with an odd expression, as if saying, can we not brag like this? If you keep bragging, you'll blow up the entire Immortal Realm.

Also, what did he say before, if he stomps his foot, the whole Immortal Realm will collapse? Damn, does he really not feel any pain when bragging?

And Liu Yan's beautiful eyes flickered, "Tianyu, can we be a bit more serious?"

"I am very serious!" Xiao Tianyu replied earnestly.

"..." Hearing this, Liu Yan decided to keep quiet, fearing that talking further would make her cough up blood from anger.

"Come out with me for a while!" At this moment, Ye Qingcheng's cold eyes landed on Xiao Tianyu, making Xiao Tianyu puzzled, "Is there something up?"

"There are some things I want to ask you!" Ye Qingcheng's face remained cold, and then she stepped towards the door. Xiao Tianyu touched his nose and followed.

Watching them leave, Liu Yan always felt there was something unusual about their relationship, perhaps even familiar, but she couldn't quite figure out why Ye Qingcheng was so cold and spoke so little.

Could it be that guy broke Ye Qingcheng's heart?

Outside, on the lawn a hundred meters away.

Xiao Tianyu said lightly, "Speak, why are you looking for me?"

"Are you in the Martial King Realm?" Ye Qingcheng's beautiful eyes fixed on Xiao Tianyu as she asked, and Xiao Tianyu shrugged, "Seeking revenge?"

"One day, I will surpass you!"

"Ha~ You better work hard for that!" Xiao Tianyu laughed dismissively, "Honestly, with your talent, you have no hope of seeking revenge in this lifetime, I suggest you head to Earth and become your Iceberg President!"

"I will show you!" Ye Qingcheng's eyes revealed a stubborn determination.

"I'll be waiting!" After speaking, Xiao Tianyu's figure was already a hundred meters away from Ye Qingcheng, soon disappearing under the starlight, while Ye Qingcheng stood there, her white clothes fluttering in the wind, lost in thought.

As Xiao Tianyu approached the door, he ran into Liu Yan, which caused him to arch his brow, "Beautiful teacher, where are you going so late?"

"Grandpa Liu invited me to his home as a guest!" Liu Yan's eyes twinkled as she continued, "You don't need to worry, Grandpa Liu has devoted his life to Cangye Kingdom and is its greatest loyal minister. He wouldn't harm me!"
