Chapter 125

Saying this, Zhu Houzhao turned his head to the side, his face filled with curiosity as he asked.

"Uncle the Emperor, do you have any knowledge of the Qinglong Society?"

"What? From the tone of your words, you're dissatisfied with being Emperor and planning to join the Qinglong Society?"

The Night Emperor, upon hearing this, chuckled without changing expression.

His words were thick with mockery.

"Not at all, Your Majesty… nephew is merely curious."

Zhu Houzhao's eyes flickered.

A hint of embarrassment swiftly crossed his face.

Joining the Qinglong Society was impossible!

But as for Ximen Wudi, the Great Dragon Chief of the Qinglong Society,

he was truly filled with curiosity and admiration.

If it were possible,

he naturally wished to meet him.

"You'll be disappointed—these past years, Uncle has withdrawn from worldly affairs,"

"Only since returning have I learned a little about the Qinglong Society; I know little of them."

"But if I'm not mistaken, the Qinglong Society has hidden for so many years—its ambitions must be immense!"

"You must be cautious in the future."

Watching his reaction,

the Night Emperor's smile vanished, his expression instantly turning serious.

Shaking his head, he gave a profound warning.

As he spoke,

his tone was heavy with deep wariness.

Clearly, he held great vigilance toward the Qinglong Society!

"Thank you, Uncle's reminder—I shall surely remember it well!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Houzhao's heart instantly tightened.

His young face grew solemn, his eyes filled with seriousness.

"Hmm… good."

The Night Emperor gave a slight nod.

Great Qing, Imperial Study.

"The Nine Provinces truly run deep!"

"Even as Emperor of a nation, I lack even the right to hold the pieces."

"Sigh~~~"

Staring blankly at the Heaven's Scroll,

Kangxi let out a deep, weary sigh as if sensing something.

His face was filled with bitterness.

He understood.

As the Heaven's Scroll gradually revealed itself,

the mysterious and unfathomable giant, the Qinglong Society, would slowly emerge.

Meanwhile,

the chaos across the Nine Provinces would intensify further.

And as the weakest among the Eight Imperial Dynasties, Great Qing,

it might not even get the chance to be a player.

This thought filled him with unbearable anguish.

His heart was choked with helplessness and resentment.

Unfortunately,

even though he clearly saw this situation, he had not the slightest way to change it.

One could imagine

how terrible this feeling must be!

Qinglong Peak, Qinglong Shanzhuang.

Ximen Wudi calmly withdrew his gaze.

Thinking of Li Taibai's arrogant personality,

he couldn't help laughing and shaking his head.

He knew

that for a long time to come,

this fellow would boast about this everywhere.

Even,

use it to flirt with married women!

As he thought this,

Master Hua Xi arrived with Yang Congcong, leading her swiftly.

"Pay your respects to the Great Dragon Chief."

"We do not know why the Great Dragon Chief has summoned us—what are your orders?"

They bowed respectfully.

Master Hua Xi's eyes held a trace of doubt.

"Did the Bu Liang Ren go to Yihua Palace?"

He glanced at her indifferently.

Ximen Wudi spoke lightly.

His expression revealed no joy or sorrow.

"Yes."

Master Hua Xi nodded.

She was not the least bit surprised.

She had already witnessed the Qinglong Society's intelligence prowess when she joined.

"Then what do you plan to do?" Ximen Wudi asked again.

"Your servant has annihilated every single invader!"

Master Hua Xi answered without hesitation.

"Not enough!"

Ximen Wudi shook his head.

Without giving her a chance to speak, he continued.

"As an affiliated force of the Qinglong Society, you cannot merely take blows without striking back!"

"As the Chief of the Eleventh Hall, after resolving the matter, you failed to retaliate—that is utterly unacceptable!"

"Go to the Punishment Hall after this and collect your punishment!"

"Afterward, you may summon Qinglong Society members to launch a counterattack!"

"Remember: the Qinglong Society cannot be insulted!"

"Nor do we harbor fools!"

By the end of his words,

his tone had turned icy and grim.

The cold killing intent lowered the temperature around them abruptly.

The atmosphere inside the room instantly became deadly still.
