Chapter 237: Confrontation
Yan Zheng is under tremendous pressure lately.
It wasn't that he caused trouble, but rather that his uncle, Yan Xuanwang, was inexplicably killed by the Grand Elder of the Tianfu Sect, and his body couldn't even be found. This was an utter disgrace.
But Emperor Riyan couldn't settle accounts with the Tianfu Sect.
That day, the Fu Sect was a well-known sect in the Eastern Frontier. Although it was not as powerful as the extraordinary forces, it still had Mahayana stage cultivators in charge, making it an existence that the Sun Flame Dynasty could not contend with.
Therefore, this blood feud can only be swallowed down and ignored; as for pursuing it further?
Then the Yan Dynasty can be replaced by a new dynasty.
The death of King Yanxuan has actually had a profound impact on the royal family. The sudden death of such a prince who had reached the sixth level of the Tribulation Transcending Realm has greatly diminished the prestige of the royal family. If it weren't for Emperor Riyan, the strongest being, maintaining order, the people below would probably have already started to riot.
Moreover, his death at the hands of the Tianfu Sect led some to believe that the royal family had already fallen out with the Tianfu Sect, and that if they continued to follow the royal family, they would likely be wiped out by the Tianfu Sect one day.
Emperor Sunfire has been extremely anxious lately.
The prodigy daughter of the Liu family who went to Qianyin Valley to cultivate had not returned for several years, but she happened to return at this very moment.
No one, not even a dog, would believe that the Liu family didn't have any ulterior motives!
Yan Zheng had already figured it out. What was this? It was clearly leveraging someone else's power!
They openly told Emperor Riyan that the Liu family had a "backer," although this backer might not necessarily care about conflicts in a small place like the Riyan Dynasty.
But as long as Liu Yu is alive, she will remain a member of the Liu family, and Emperor Yan will not be able to ignore Qianyin Valley.
Of course, we can also hope that a force with a foundation and strength no weaker than Qianyin Valley, and with a deep-seated hatred for Qianyin Valley, will take action to kill Liu Yu. In that case, the Liu family will directly lose their prodigy and their huge backer.
However, the probability of such a "good thing" happening is extremely low.
"Brother Yanzheng, stop frowning, come and have a drink!"
Seeing Yan Zheng's gloomy face, Liu Mo felt secretly pleased, but on the surface he still poured wine for Yan Zheng.
Upon hearing this, Yan Zheng's expression softened slightly.
"Tonight, my Liu family is hosting, and my little sister will be playing music. Please enjoy the performance and give your feedback, hahaha!"
Liu Mo raised his glass and bowed to the guests around him.
Everyone raised their glasses in response, and the atmosphere quickly became lively. Yan Zheng naturally followed suit with a forced smile, even though he was probably cursing the Liu family to a terrible end in his heart.
"Hmph..." Yan Zheng drank the wine in his cup in one gulp.
Then he looked at his cousin beside him, who was drunk and talking nonsense, with two glamorous women on his left and right.
Immediately, the Second Prince's face darkened considerably.
To be honest, Yan Zheng really regretted bringing along this Prince Yanqu, who was good for nothing and didn't cultivate properly, and whose only activities were playing with women and being played by them.
On his way to Yanjiang Pavilion, he encountered Yan Feng, who was surrounded by women on both sides, drinking heavily until his face was flushed and he was delirious.
She was also cursing something like "that slut from Yunxiang Pavilion"...
Originally, Yan Zheng only wanted to give him a casual greeting, just a perfunctory polite greeting between cousins.
result.
Upon hearing that there was music to listen to at Yanjiang Pavilion, Yan Feng immediately perked up and insisted on coming along.
King Yanqu wielded considerable power in the court, especially after the death of King Yanxuan. Now, King Yanqu is considered the most capable among all the princes.
So Yan Zheng couldn't refuse, and brought him along.
Now look around, and then look at Yan Feng. This idiot has drunk himself into a pig, and he's just a hair's breadth away from making a complete fool of himself!
"Come here, let this young master give you a good kiss~"
"...Yan Feng, haven't you had enough of women yet?"
Yan Zheng couldn't stand it anymore and kicked Yan Feng.
Yan Feng was startled, then looked up and saw Yan Zheng's gloomy face, and immediately sensed something was wrong.
"Oh, Your Highness, you're here too? Do you want me to share one with you?" Yan Feng quickly stood up, smiling ingratiatingly.
Upon hearing this, the hall fell silent for a moment, followed by low, surprised laughter.
Yan Zheng's face turned ashen with anger, but he didn't lash out. He simply snapped, "You haven't embarrassed yourself enough, have you?!"
"Uh..." Yan Feng shrank his neck and dared not say another word.
Yan Zheng glared at Yan Feng, then turned to Liu Mo beside him and said apologetically, "Brother Liu, I'm really sorry."
"fine!"
Seeing Yan Zheng's expression, Liu Mo waved his hand with a forced smile.
"Young Master Yanfeng is genuine and unpretentious. I, Liu Mo, like to entertain people like him."
Is this guy really "genuine and unpretentious"?
In Liu Mo's eyes, did Yan Zheng become a hypocrite, a two-faced person? Yan Zheng gritted his teeth, realizing that Liu Mo both despised the useless Yan Feng and mocked him, the second prince, but he didn't know how to refute it, so he simply kept silent.
Anyway, if I don't speak, I'll never give anyone a handle to use against me; I might as well keep quiet.
"It's so lively."
Gu Heng and Qin Yiyao were sitting at the very back of the Yanjiang Pavilion's main hall. Hearing the cheerful sounds coming from the front, he craned his neck to see what was going on.
But you can't see anything.
"Master, where are we going next?"
Qin Yiyao completely ignored the laughter and chatter in front of her, only wanting to finalize with her beloved master whether there were any other activities planned for the night.
Listening to music? She didn't want to come in the first place, but since Gu Heng wanted to come, she would accompany him.
Therefore, in the entire Yanjiang Pavilion, she was probably the most bored and the one who most wanted to leave.
Where else would you like to go for fun?
Gu Heng asked.
"I don't know. Wherever Master wants to go, I will go."
"What if I want to go back and rest?"
"Then I'll go back too."
Qin Yiyao grinned, wishing her master would go back to sleep soon.
"Hmm? Is that Miss Fei'er?"
Gu Heng suddenly looked up at the side door, where a woman was walking out gracefully. Wasn't that Bai Feier?
What a coincidence, she also likes listening to music!
