Chapter 1400: Leaving Without Saying Goodbye

Prince Zhenshan Qujing also knew the danger of the Foreign Tribe.

But now the Foreign Tribe has been eliminated, and those contaminated by the Foreign Tribe are no longer controlled by anyone; naturally they are no different from ordinary people and pose no threat.

So he thought that Ye Liuyun's opposition to the Xie Family was mostly due to personal grudge.

Killing so many people out of personal grudge, it's only natural for the Empire to issue a wanted notice for him.

He also had no intention of interceding for Ye Liuyun to cancel the wanted notice.

Moreover, he can't even dodge Xie Tianqi right now, so how would he go against Xie Tianqi?

Ye Liuyun also couldn't explain to him, leaving these disasters as a threat.

The Foreign Tribe could send people again at any time; then these people would play a huge role.

He could only say: "Since I've encountered this matter, I can only eradicate it completely, leaving no future trouble!"

Qujing laughed: "Matters that the Empire doesn't even worry about, you insist on sticking your neck out?"

And still get a wanted notice from the Empire! Doing this is not wise!

"Thank you for the reminder, Prince! But I also have my own principles in doing things."

"What I want to do, I will absolutely not give up!"

Ye Liuyun also knew that this world had nothing to do with him.

If it weren't for his fondness for the tribe's simple folk, it would be normal for him to ignore the Foreign Tribe's affairs.

However, letting him cultivate in peace, without opponents, his realm advancement speed will only get slower.

So finding himself a strong opponent is actually beneficial.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be better for him to cultivate directly in Xuecheng?

Having figured this out, he cares even less about the wanted notice.

Seeing Ye Liuyun so resolute, Qujing could only say: "In my view, your threat to the Empire is greater than those people's!"

Ye Liuyun expressed no stance.

He needs combat to hone himself, not to kill on sight or provoke trouble for no reason!

If killing the remnants of the Foreign Tribe is also a crime, then he truly has nothing to say.

"Father! Young Master Ye is killing the remnants of the Foreign Tribe; isn't that also wrong?"

Qu Wanying interjected to explain for Ye Liuyun.

"That is the Empire's affair; he shouldn't intervene! He is not wrong.

But to act directly without the Empire's knowledge is, to the Empire, slaughtering civilians!

Moreover, knowing those people are no longer a threat, yet he continues—this is a sign of bloodlust! Is it not natural for the Empire to issue a wanted notice for him?"

Prince Zhenshan explained to Qu Wanying.

"Father! Young Master Ye saved me; you can't arrest him!"

Seeing her father also think Ye Liuyun should be wanted, Qu Wanying feared he would seize Ye Liuyun, so she pleaded with her father.

"Haha!"

Qujing also laughed.

Then he also said to Ye Liuyun and Qu Wanying: "Rest assured, as long as Young Master Ye stays in my Royal Mansion, he is your lifesaver; I will absolutely not arrest him, nor leak his whereabouts to anyone."

Qu Wanying, however, pressed: "What if he leaves the Royal Mansion?"

Qujing pretended not to hear, lowering his head to drink.

Ye Liuyun, however, directly thanked Qujing: "Thank you, Prince!"

He felt that Qujing being able to do this was enough.

At least there was no repaying kindness with enmity.

Qujing then laughed: "Don't be polite! You saved my daughter; I should be thanking you! Stay in my Royal Mansion as long as you like, with no psychological burden!"

Qujing's meaning was also quite clear.

Repaying gratitude is repaying gratitude, but once you leave the Royal Mansion, you become a wanted fugitive.

Afterward, the banquet ended, and Qu Wanying saw Ye Liuyun back to his lodgings.

"Don't be anxious; I'll go back and plead with my father again!"

She comforted Ye Liuyun.

"No need! The reward due me, you've already given.

I should also leave; I can't stay and cause you trouble.

I plan to leave here tonight!"

Ye Liuyun bade farewell to Qu Wanying.

"Everywhere is issuing a wanted notice for you; going out now is too dangerous! Why not stay at my place for a while first? Since my father agreed, he won't go back on his word!"

Qu Wanying kindly advised.

"I still have my own matters to attend to; I can't stay long here! Princess, take care!"

Ye Liuyun directly cut off the conversation, giving her no chance to detain him.

"Alright then! If you insist on leaving, I won't stop you—but how about leaving tomorrow morning?"

"I'll see you out of the city tomorrow morning!"

Qu Wanying said.

"Good!"

Ye Liuyun feigned agreement.

After Qu Wanying left, he immediately donned the Invisibility Cloak and walked out of Prince Zhenshan's Royal Mansion.

Ye Liuyun was not distrustful of Prince Zhenshan.

It's just that the Zhen Shan King has already stated his position; him staying longer would be pointless.

Besides, there are no walls that don't let wind through.

Ye Liuyun is a wanted fugitive; if the news leaks, staying at the Royal Mansion would be dangerous not only for him but would also bring trouble to the Zhen Shan King.

After Qu Wanying left Ye Liuyun, she went to find her father to argue about Ye Liuyun's right or wrong.

"Ye Liuyun is not wrong; the mistake is that his opponent is Prince Consort Xie Tianqi, someone even we can't afford to provoke! It's that simple!"

Qujing directly told her.

"Can a Prince Consort cover the sky with one hand?"

Qu Wanying said indignantly.

"If no one backs him up behind the scenes, he certainly wouldn't dare!"

Qujing said softly.

"Then we can't help with Ye Liuyun's wanted notice?"

Qu Wanying now only cares about Ye Liuyun's affairs.

Qujing sighed helplessly: "If Xie Tianqi directly moves against you, it shows we're already unable to protect ourselves!"

Upon hearing that, Qu Wanying also realized they themselves were now deep in trouble.

"Well... I'll go back and explain things to Ye Liuyun!"

Qu Wanying said.

"No need!"

Qujing said: "You underestimate him! He's very smart; there's absolutely no need for you to explain! I think this Ye Liuyun is not ordinary—at least he's an elite cultivated by a major power."

"Then why not befriend him?"

Qu Wanying became interested.

Qujing shook his head again: "It's not the time! We're already full of trouble; gathering together would only implicate each other."

Let him go; we can talk again when the chance arises!

"Oh!"

Qu Wanying responded disappointedly, then withdrew from her father's presence.

She sighed for a while, then ordered people to prepare breakfast for the next morning, to see off Ye Liuyun, and only then went back to rest.

Only when she went to look for Ye Liuyun the next morning did she discover he had disappeared.

She asked the guards everywhere when Ye Liuyun had left, but no one had noticed.

She had no choice but to tell her father, and then let the matter drop.

Inside Zhen Shan Cheng, after dawn broke, a masked martial cultivator entered the city's largest chamber of commerce.

In the chamber of commerce, customers often buy valuable items, fearing discovery or being followed, so some people come in wearing masks; they are not seen as strange, but rather are treated as important clients.
