"That..."

"That's absolutely impossible!"

Shigure Kira opened her mouth, the women interrupted her in unison.

Chapter 352 Guān Xīng: Shut up! I have never seen such a shameless person!

Durandal could tell that the Captain's gaze was genuine.

Just when the tension was about to reach its peak.

The audience's hearts were in their throats, worried about the Captain's combat capabilities. They had witnessed Durandal's fighting prowess, and unless the Captain was Kevin, they didn't believe Captain could defeat Durandal.

Is a fight about to break out?

The audience tensed up.

"Wait!" Before the Captain could react, the feather fan struck him mercilessly on the head.

Guān Xīng roared, "You... you idiot! You were stabbed by her yesterday, and you've already forgotten all about it?"

Although he was angry, Guān Xīng's eyes were filled with worry.

When the Captain saw that Guān Xīng had actually come out from behind the curtain, he immediately realized that this was a test between Guān Xīng and Durandal. As early as last night, Guān Xīng had already revealed the whole plan to Durandal.

If the Captain had given up Guān Xīng, there would probably be one more corpse in the desert.

The Captain passed the test, rested for a day, and set off again early the next morning with Guān Xīng, leaving Durandal behind to guard the peace of the human world.

Test.

When the Guān Xīng emerged from behind the curtain, Vill-V and Mobius had already guessed what was going on.

However, Elysia and the viewers in the live stream were somewhat surprised.

After all, it's quite remarkable that the headstrong Durandal was actually persuaded by Theresa.

"Goodness, those two teamed up to act like the boss. Luckily, the Captain has a good temper and came back from the future to save Guān Xīng. If it were anyone else, it would be a miracle if they didn't get angry."

["Durandal: Getting angry? Including about multiple corpses"]

["Guān Xīng is indeed the Crown Grandson. Prime Minister Rita and General Durandal seem to be on her side. Wait, isn't this all Schicksal?!"]

"The S-Rank Valkyrie Rita and Durandal, Theresa inheriting Schicksal later, seem to make sense, but if this web series is a microcosm of the main storyline, then wouldn't that be..."

["The Kiana will align itself with the World Serpent, stand against Theresa, and oppose Schicksal."]

"Holy crap!"

His words stirred up a huge wave of discussion.

It's like a drop of warm water falling into hot oil, instantly causing a surge of heat.

If fairy tales are a microcosm of reality, then according to the audience's speculation, after Otto's death, Theresa will succeed Schicksal, assisted by Durandal and Rita, while Kiana will join World Serpent and stand on the opposite side of Schicksal.

Given the animosity between Kiana and Otto, this doesn't seem impossible.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Elysia quickly spoke up.

"Kiana's hatred is with Otto, and has nothing to do with the Valkyrie of Schicksal. I believe that Kiana is kind-hearted by nature. Moreover, there is no hint of this in the main storyline, so don't make any unfounded expectations!"

Elysia crossed her arms in front of her chest to form an X shape and made a "da me" gesture.

Those who make unwarranted expectations and those who break their own defenses are the same kind of people.

When Elysia spoke and Yaqing didn't react, the number of speculative comments in the live stream decreased significantly, especially those speculating that Kiana would join World Serpent.

The next morning, a carriage drove away from Wushuang Camp. Inside the carriage, Guān Xīng was changing the Captain's medicine when suddenly the carriage braked sharply, catching both of them off guard.

"We are surrounded."

"That's what Xiao Te, who's driving, said."

The two got out of the car and looked into the distance.

Thousands of soldiers, armed with swords and clad in armor, had already formed their battle formation. Under the banner at the front, the two leaders, both dressed in white and silver armor, were none other than the Second Prince Kiana and the strategist Jackal.

The Captain looked at Xiao Te with concern; Xiao Te was powerless to help so many people.

Just then, Guān Xīng stepped forward.

She would have to face Jackal, the cunning strategist under the Second Prince.

"Who goes there? Is it the traitor Guān Xīng?"

A disdainful smile appeared on the Jackal's lips.

Little Knowledge specifically checked the episode title.

A slight smile.

It turns out she was wrong.

Yaqing wanted to write was not about the Captain cursing Youlan to death, but about the Guān Xīng of the emperor cursing the dog-headed strategist to death.

"Traitor? Mr. Jackal, it's been months, and you've started spouting nonsense?" Guān Xīng lightly waved his feather fan and shook his head, seemingly in regret.

"Ha, you audacious traitor! Your treacherous schemes have long been exposed by His Second Prince. How dare you utter such nonsense here?!"

"Oh? What wicked scheme do we have? Tell me." Guān Xīng seemed interested, but his eyes were full of mockery.

Jackal began to recount the crimes of the Guān Xīng, including how he Prime Minister to secretly alter the imperial edict in order to seize the throne and rule the world.

"You have been well-versed in poetry and literature since childhood and are well-versed in military strategy and politics. You should be assisting the emperor and the country. How could you have done something that violates the principles of heaven and human ethics? Such a beastly act is truly intolerable to heaven and earth."

The expression on the Jackal's face seemed to be telling the audience that she was disappointed and regretful, but the audience knew what kind of person she was.

"Fortunately, His Second Prince is wise and insightful, seeing through your treacherous schemes. At a time when the nation is on the verge of collapse, he has raised an army to punish the traitors, eliminate the scourge, and save the people from suffering..."

To the Jackal's utter dismay, the Second Prince, whom she had been praising, scratched his head shyly and said, "No... I didn't do anything, it was all Big Wolf's idea..."

Upon witnessing this scene, even the Guān Xīng fell silent.

I even wanted to ask a question in return.

Is this what you call wisdom?!

Kiana never disappoints her audience.

Even if he and the Jackal were on the same side, he would definitely not let the Jackal have an easy time.

"Hahaha, this is the Brainless Idiot I know. After listening to Jackal's explanation, I'm starting to wonder if she's talking about Brainless Idiot or a complete stranger."

Bronya burst into laughter.

Seele was worried that she would laugh until her stomach hurt.

Kiana puffed out her cheeks in dissatisfaction.

Upon seeing the barrage of comments like "As expected of you," a frustrated Kiana immediately snuggled into Mei's arms, seeking comfort and a hug.

While comforting Kiana, Mei wondered who had turned on the comments.

Seele silently hid the remote control behind her back, a mischievous smile appearing on her lips before quickly disappearing, transforming back into her little white rabbit form.

The Jackal quickly composed himself.

"Traitor Guān Xīng! If you have even a shred of conscience left, you should lay down your arms and surrender, revealing your sins to the world and returning the Schicksal to His Highness!"

"If you still insist on resisting stubbornly, then don't blame His Highness for being ruthless..." Guān Xīng, who had been constantly criticized by the Jackal, sneered a few times.

"We originally thought that as Junior Tutor, although you may not have extraordinary talent, you should still have some insightful opinions in front of your thousands of soldiers. Who would have thought that you would utter such nonsense!"

The Guān Xīng's sudden counterattack enraged the Jackal, but her subsequent question left her speechless.

"If we had truly altered the late Emperor's edict and usurped the throne, why would we leave Huangyue City now and put ourselves in danger?"

"This..." "Since the descent of Yama, we have devoted ourselves day and night to studying the method of sealing strange beasts. Prime Minister Rita has also devoted herself to the affairs of the country, a fact known to everyone in the palace." Guān Xīng gently waved his feather fan, his mind gradually improving.

"And at this time of national crisis, Mr. Jackal, what have you and His Second Prince done?"

"I..." The Jackal was clearly flustered.

"Five years ago, during the chaos in the Western Regions, you were rescued by your grandfather in a desolate city. Because of your exceptional talent, you were appointed Junior Tutor within a few months and have been living there ever since."

"Now that the nation is in peril, you should remember the Emperor's grace and prioritize the country. How dare you forge a mere tale, using the pretext of punishing the traitors to raise this barbarian army, thus placing the Second Prince in a position of disloyalty and injustice?" The Jackal's finger pointing at the Guān Xīng trembled.

"You... Guān Xīng... You!"

"Shut up! You shameless scoundrel!" Guān Xīng's Feather Fan, his eyes seemingly filled with anger.

"Disloyal and unjust, slanderous and disastrous to the country, you have toiled for years without achieving anything... Mr. Jackal, when you pass away, what face will you have to meet the late emperor in the afterlife?!"

"Guān Xīng... you bastard!" Jackal was enraged by the insult. "Fine, since you have the nerve to go see him, then I'll send you down to be buried with that old bastard right now. You two can just watch from the underworld as I, Jackal, take over the empire!"

The Jackal was completely panicked.

Even his ultimate goal has been exposed.

If the previous verbal battle between the Captain and Durandal could only be described as similar, then the current battle between Guān Xīng and Jackal is practically identical, or, to put it in high-EQ terms, a tribute.

["Hahaha, I laughed non-stop throughout this whole scene, it's hilarious! I knew it was a comedy, hahahahaha!"]

["No way, what serious drama pays homage to this? It's hilarious! The Jackal wasn't even verbally abused to death, which doesn't fit the original work at all!"]

Aside from viewers in Shenzhou, very few viewers would get this joke, unless they are foreigners who are particularly fond of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms," such as people from the Far East who are especially fond of it.

Little Knowledge was laughing so happily.

"Hahaha, as expected of Yaqing! Anyone who can incorporate this part is a true talent."

Shigure Kira's eyes were filled with confusion.

This archaic way of speaking made it impossible for the intelligent man to understand, nor could he grasp the point of Little Knowledge's amusement.

"By the way, why didn't they just anger this cunning strategist to death?"

Little Knowledge's only complaint about this part of the story is that it wasn't a complete homage. In her opinion, Guān Xīng should have directly cursed the Jackal to death.

"As a man of great stature, Wang Lang cared about his reputation. He certainly couldn't accept being scolded by Zhuge Liang to his face."

Fu Hua shook her head. "But if you point your finger at the Jackal and curse, she'll only want to kill you, not be so angry she'll die."

"Well, it's because he's shameless enough."

Little Knowledge clicked his tongue.

Inside the Golden Courtyard.

"Amazing!"

Elysia didn't understand much of what he said, but she thought what the Guān Xīng said was amazing.

"What's the point of saying all that if we still have to fight in the end?"

Mobius said irritably.

"That's different, Mobius. The Jackal has made its wolfish ambitions public. Kiana, unless she's an idiot, won't listen to her anymore."

Vill-V added another sentence.

"If you actually listened, then pretend I didn't say anything."

Everyone watched the web series' next episode with bated breath.

Chapter 353 Theresa: I will never forgive you!!!

Jackal ordered his soldiers to kill the Guān Xīng, offering a reward of ten thousand taels of silver, but no one took action. Kiana, contrary to her usual behavior, stepped forward and reminded Jackal that the soldiers would no longer listen to her.

The Jackal then realized what he had just said.

Guān Xīng smiled slightly.

The angrier a person is, the more likely they are to speak their true feelings.

All of this was planned by her and Kiana long ago. As early as when the late emperor passed away, she realized that Jackal would rebel in the future, but she was unable to obtain evidence, so she asked Kiana to pretend to be stupid.

"Jackal, you have already lost."
