The smile on Rong Xiu’s face faded away, and there was a hint of frost in his eyes. “Respected Elder Tong Chuan, please mind your words. Yue’er is now the Sky-Cloud Empire’s Princess Consort. You can’t insult her like that.”

“Insult?” Respected Elder Tong Chuan’s stomach was filled with anger.

Only the heavens knew how furious he was when he heard of the news and understood the cause and ending of the entire incident.

“Did I say anything wrong? She does have an unknown background, right? On the surface, she said she’s from outside the G.o.d Residence Realm, but her body clearly has extremely strong bloodline talent! Until now, n.o.body knows what her true ident.i.ty is!”

“Besides, she has two legendary fiends! This doesn’t make sense! Your Highness, do you believe if she says that there’s nothing wrong with her? Anyway, this woman has many suspicious points, and she really can’t bear the responsibility of being the princess consort!”

Rong Xiu’s expression was nonchalant as he leaned against his chair and crossed his arms before him. “Respected Elder Tong Chuan, did you come back today to scold me and my princess consort in front of me?”

“If it’s not because you did things inappropriately, why would I have to do this?” Respected Elder Tong Chuan was enraged. “It’s not only me—alll the other respected elders were also sent out by you using all sorts of reasons! This is just a trap you set up, isn’t it? Your Highness, your doings for this mere

woman makes my heart cold!”

Actually, the incident was very simple.

In the beginning, Rong Xiu took their Ming Division’s suggestion and agreed to hold a selection contest for the position of princess consort. He even requested to summon all the divisions over.

Whoever heard this would think that he would choose his princess consort legitimately! According to this process, the eventual result would be Fairy Water Mound’s Jiang Zhiyuan being selected without any accidents.

If he was willing, he could choose second consorts and mistresses. Hence, n.o.body—including Respected Elder Tong Chuan and the rest—thought too much of it. Even when all the respected elders were sent out before the contest, they didn’t think much of it.

Who would’ve expected that Rong Xiu had already planned to choose that Shangguan Yue from the start?!

“Fairy Water Mound is the head of the 28 divisions, and they have always been loyal to the Sky-Cloud Empire! Big Missy Jiang is also deeply loved by the clan leader, and she’s the most suitable candidate to be the princess consort! Your Highness, have you ever thought that doing this will humiliate Fairy

Water Mound!? Big Missy Jiang is—”

“Tm selecting my wife, not the clan leader and not you,” interrupted Rong Xiu in a seemingly smiling manner, but his eyes had no smiling intent at all. “At the end of the day, Fairy Water Mound is only one of the 28 divisions and should follow all of the Sky-Cloud Empire’s decisions. Since when did they

get to decide who my wife should be?”

Respected Elder Tong Chuan was stumped.

“Even the clan leader never personally admitted in front of the crowd that he would choose Jiang Zhiyuan to be the princess consort. What? If I don’t choose her, is Fairy Water Mound going to rebel?” Rong Xiu’s every single word and sentence was loud and solemn! When he said the very last word, his

eyes were extremely cold!

“Besides, it seems… rather inappropriate for you to suddenly barge into my study and question me, right?”

Tong Chuan’s heart shuddered!

As he was too angry and almost overwhelmed by the rage, he rushed over without a care. He almost forgot that the current Rong Xiu was no longer the youngster that anyone could bully back then!

Respected Elder Tong Chuan took a deep breath in and said, “Your Highness, if you insist on your ways, we have no choice either. This news will spread very quickly. If the academy side insists on you removing Shangguan Yue as your princess consort, I hope… you’ll be adequately prepared!”
