Chapter 70

Zhou Tian, don't chase anymore, hurry up and leave here!

Mo Qingyan grabbed Zhou Tian's hand and let out a low rebuke.

Now this place has already collapsed; if we don't leave now, we'll only have a dead end.

Yang Jun, I will definitely not spare you!

Zhou Tian let out a low rebuke, and anger flashed in his eyes.

He also knew that if he didn't leave with Mo Qingyan now, he would definitely be buried here.

Everyone no longer bothered to fight; they all fled desperately.

As Yang Jun was leaving, he saw the ground crack open, and a passage appeared beneath the sword hut.

It seems this passage should lead to the outside world.

But unfortunately, when he saw the passage, Yang Jun saw layers of rubble sealing it shut; it looks unusable.

Yun Xuanmo was rescued by Yang Jun; he eyed Yang Jun before him, seemingly still unable to accept all this.

Brother, are you really Yang Jun?

He looked at Yang Jun and spoke.

Yes, I am Yang Jun.

Since things have come to this, let's lay our cards on the table.

Yang Jun responded, also gazing at Yun Xuanmo.

He knew that his brother-in-law had come, probably because of Yun Xiyue.

Moreover, he wanted to take Yun Xiyue back.

Yun Xuanmo had a complex expression.

I have also gone to great trouble to find Yang Jun.

And though I despised the Yang Jun of rumor, he still owed me a small favor.

Now faced with this, Yun Xuanmo momentarily didn't know what to do.

Where is Xi Yue?

Yun Xuanmo opened his mouth, questioning Yang Jun.

Don't worry, she's in a safe place.

I will protect her well; nothing will happen.

Yang Jun nodded; he had already considered this matter.

That's good; as long as Xi Yue is safe, that's fine.

Yun Xuanmo said this, then glanced again at the sword hut.

Now the sword hut has completely collapsed.

The people involved here include both court officials and martial artists.

Sigh, this matter is troublesome; how should I explain it to the Father Emperor?

Yun Xuanmo let out a long sigh, gave a bitter smile, and shook his head.

Yang Jun, however, kept his eyes on the front; Mo Qingyan and Zhou Tian also ran out.

【It seems there's a turn of events, Zhou Tian and Mo Qingyan are together.】

【Mo Qingyan, this woman, killed the Xiao Feng family, was caught red-handed before; if Yun Xuanmo were to act and thoroughly expose these matters, then Zhou Tian this brat could not escape responsibility!】

Yang Jun thought about these things in his heart, and the more he thought, the more satisfied he became.

Now it seems the only way to resolve this is to do it this way, which couldn't be better.

Isn't Zhou Tian's character setting extremely good?

But if Yun Xuanmo goes out to point out Mo Qingyan's true identity.

That would leave too much room for maneuver.

Mo Qingyan always felt a pair of ill-intentioned eyes staring at her.

She quickly lifted her head and looked ahead.

In that glance, Mo Qingyan saw Yun Xuanmo and Yang Jun.

And those thoughts also made Mo Qingyan break out in a cold sweat.

Oh no, this matter has become troublesome!

Mo Qingyan quickly came to her senses; Yang Jun and Yun Xuanmo were together, and if Yang Jun took the opportunity to complain to Zhou Tian and expose her identity.

Then Zhou Tian would also be implicated and suffer the same misfortune!

Thinking this, Mo Qingyan didn't even pause, just quickly whispered a few words beside Zhou Tian's ear.

After doing all that, she then stepped away and left quickly.

Seeing this, Yang Jun couldn't help but sigh.

Mo Qingyan, this woman, runs faster than a rabbit.

And in that glance from Yang Jun, there was also some unease.

Mo Qingyan actually fled toward the inn, and now Xi Yue is alone in the inn!

Fifth Prince, now is the time for you to step up and clean up the mess.

Yang Jun hurriedly said to Yun Xuanmo, these matters indeed need someone to carry them out.

"Xi Yue? Hurry and take me there; I want to personally go fetch her."

Yun Xuanmo's most important task this time is to escort Xi Yue back to the palace.

As for the sword hut incident, it can only be considered an accident.

"No, it's not convenient for you to go there; I'll go bring your sister."

Yang Jun was speaking, yet far off he saw Mo Qingyan enter the inn.

Remember, you're a prince; only now can you clean up the mess. Also, you must hold Zhou Tian back. As long as you do these, next time I'll give you the latest edition of the book!

Yang Jun tossed off a remark, turned and hurried away.

Yang Jun, this palace is a prince—why should I listen to you?

Yun Xuanmo was displeased, but Yang Jun had already run far off, so it was useless.

Wait for me; if what you give this palace isn't the latest edition, I'll have you beaten!

Yun Xuanmo ultimately still chose to heed Yang Jun's words.

After all, Yang Jun actually shares his interests; they are both refined people.

Besides, Yang Jun saved his life, so between them, what remains is chiefly affection—where would hatred come from?

Yun Xuanmo glanced around—everything was a chaotic mess, a scene of utter disorder, with so many dead.

That is to say, someone must clean up the mess.

And now, I am that person.

Zhou Tian saw Yang Jun leave and immediately thought of a possibility: that Yang Jun had gone to find Yun Xiyue.

Yun Xiyue is also a thorn in Zhou Tian's heart right now.

Clearly I am the best candidate for Prince Consort, yet Yang Jun, that useless heir, has seized the slot and refuses to yield.

Now the matter of the holy sword is half‑settled; if I could go and seize Yun Xiyue back, that would surely be a good thing for me.

Zhou Tian, thinking these things, resolved to follow Yang Jun at all costs.

Um, Zhou Tian, come here.

Just then, Yun Xuanmo waved at Zhou Tian.

In that brief exchange, Yun Xuanmo's princely bearing showed through.

Fifth Prince.

When a prince summons him, Zhou Tian has no way to refuse.

So at this point he had no choice but to abandon the plan to pursue Yang Jun.

Come with this palace, clean up the mess, assist this palace, and settle everything here.

Yun Xuanmo spoke, yet Zhou Tian furrowed his brows.

Your Highness, I have something I must attend to…

What did you say? You won't even listen to this palace's words?

As Zhou Tian voiced his refusal, Yun Xuanmo immediately snapped, issuing a sharp rebuke.

Although he couldn't comprehend Yang Jun's arrangements, and furthermore he didn't want to heed Yang Jun—after all, he himself is a prince.

However, whether it was the magic of the latest edition or some instinct, Yun Xuanmo truly had no possibility of refusing.

Upon hearing Yun Xuanmo's words, Yang Jun's expression changed.

Who is Yun Xuanmo? He is Yun Xiyue's brother, the emperor's beloved prince.

If I were to refuse, I'd likely offend Yun Xuanmo, and the consequences would be unpredictable.
