Chapter 421

In the land of Baiyue, inside Baiyue City.

Yan Lingji sat on the chair in the innermost part of the great hall, looking coldly at the people below.

At a position slightly in front of Yan Lingji, Chi Lian sat on the chair above, looking together with Yan Lingji at these "uninvited guests" who had come to Baiyue City.

Below the positions where Yan Lingji and Chi Lian sat, a group of people dressed significantly differently from those of the Central Plains were sitting below.

Now, the great hall was filled with a sense of solemn silence, making one feel an infinite sense of oppression.

"Yan Lingji, what have you thought about?"

"Are you willing to join my camp? Let us overthrow the rule of the Great Qin together and return a clear sky to my land of Baiyue!"

Tian Ze's eyes were somewhat cold, but he still squeezed out a hint of a smile on his face as he looked at Yan Lingji, who had remained silent before.

Yan Lingji tapped her fingers lightly on the tabletop without replying.

After a moment, seeing that Yan Lingji still ignored his words.

Tian Ze finally could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, and his facial features gradually twisted together.

"Yan Lingji, who do you think you are?!?!"

"How dare you treat me like this?!"

"Have you forgotten your previous identity?!"

"To put it nicely, you are the current Lord of Baiyue City; I address you as City Lord out of respect, do you really think you are the City Lord?!"

"Don't you forget, before this, you were merely my subordinate!"

"I came to Baiyue City to ask you to overthrow the Great Qin with me for the sake of the entire Baiyue!"

"If you don't know what's good for you, then don't blame me for being impolite!"

Tian Ze's face was somewhat twisted, and he said in a slightly sharp voice.

Tian Ze was once the Crown Prince of Baiyue.

Yan Lingji had indeed been Tian Ze's subordinate for a period of time at the very beginning, but after meeting Ying Ziyu, she had completely severed her relationship with Tian Ze's side.

Then, after experiencing many hardships, she finally returned to Ying Ziyu's side.

Sitting with Tian Ze were his several subordinates.

They were Wushuang Gui, Qu Shi Mo, and Bai Du Wang.

Seeing that Yan Lingji still looked like she did not want to speak, they began to criticize Yan Lingji one by one.

"Yan Lingji, no matter what, you were once the Crown Prince's subordinate."

"Although you have already left the Crown Prince now, you should still have a certain amount of respect for Young Master Tian Ze!"

Bai Du Wang said to Yan Lingji in a sinister tone.

"Could it be that after so many years, although you, Yan Lingji, have become the Lord of Baiyue City, you have turned into a deaf person?!"

"If you ask me, instead of this, it would be better to hand over this territory of Baiyue to the Crown Prince!"

Qu Shi Mo said from the side.

"Have you forgotten the time when the thief Ying Zheng ordered the Qin soldiers to slaughter our Baiyue?!"

"In the end, you are still a person of Baiyue; if you cannot even remember this national hatred, then you are simply worse than a pig or a dog!"

"If you don't want to take revenge, then hand over the position of Lord of Baiyue City!"

"Let our Crown Prince lead the people of Baiyue to take revenge!"

Wushuang Gui reprimanded Yan Lingji.

Yan Lingji looked expressionlessly at the four people below: Tian Ze, Wushuang Gui, Qu Shi Mo, and Bai Du Wang.

Her eyes were very cold, as if she were watching a group of clowns performing.

"I refuse your invitation."

"I will never rebel against the Great Qin!"

"If you want to go, go yourselves; don't drag Baiyue City into this muddy water!"

Yan Lingji said word by word.

Seeing that Yan Lingji had actually refused him.

Tian Ze initially thought he had heard wrong, and then he went from shock to rage.

Tian Ze's eyes turned crimson as if they were on fire; he stood up, pointed his right hand at Yan Lingji, and shouted loudly:

"You actually dare to refuse me!! You actually dare to refuse me!"

"You really have a lot of nerve!"

"Not to mention that you once followed me, have you forgotten the scene where Baiyue was trampled and shattered by the iron hooves of the Great Qin?!"

"Have you forgotten the scene where countless people of Baiyue were slaughtered by the Great Qin army?!!!"

Wushuang Gui, Qu Shi Mo, and Bai Du Wang saw that Yan Lingji actually dared to refuse their kindness, and in an instant, the three of them also became extremely angry.
