Hard Standoff Against the Third Prince

"Pah."

With the Third Prince backing him, Wei Lin's reverence for Wei Qing diminished considerably.

"You want us to sleep on the streets? Why don't you go!"

"I have the property deed, I have a house!"

Wei Qing shook the property deed in his hand.

"You..."

Wei Lin was momentarily speechless.

"Hurry up and pack your things and get out, or don't blame me for being impolite."

Jun Wushang pointed his Ink Blade directly at Wei Zheng and his family of three.

"I wonder if you could let this conflict go, for my sake as the Third Prince?"

Suddenly, a voice came from behind.

Seeing the newcomer, Wei Zheng and the other two were overjoyed: "Your humble servant greets His Highness, the Third Prince."

"This humble woman/commoner greets His Highness, the Third Prince."

Wei Qing and the other two showed no surprise at the arrival of the Third Prince, Zhou Yan.

Instead, it proved Wei Zheng's allegiance to him.

"Your humble servant greets His Highness, the Third Prince."

"This commoner greets His Highness, the Third Prince."

"Wei Qing, I've heard your name so much lately, it's practically worn out. Killing demons, pacifying Qingcheng, you truly are the Heavenly Mirror Division's youngest Earth-rank Garrison Commander."

Earth-rank Garrison Commander!

Didn't Wei Qing just finish the formal Garrison Commander assessment mission?

How did he suddenly become an Earth-rank Garrison Commander!

But it was even less likely for the Third Prince to lie.

So, Wei Qing's status as an Earth-rank Garrison Commander was confirmed.

Wei Zheng felt a pang of regret, wishing he hadn't agreed to Liu Ru's suggestion back then.

Given Wei Qing's current growth rate, he would at least be a department head-level existence in the Heavenly Mirror Division in the future.

At that time, his own status would inevitably rise along with Wei Qing's.

Meanwhile, Liu Ru looked at Wei Qing with greed in her eyes.

She thought that it must have been the rumored opportunity that allowed Wei Qing to progress so quickly.

If her son, Wei Lin, had obtained that opportunity, he would definitely be stronger than Wei Qing.

As for Wei Lin, he stared blankly at Wei Qing like an idiot.

"It's just a small matter, how could I dare trouble His Highness, the Third Prince, with it?"

Wei Qing replied calmly.

Hearing this, a hint of displeasure flashed in Zhou Yan's eyes. He didn't believe Wei Qing couldn't understand the meaning of his invitation.

A killing intent immediately arose in his heart.

Those who don't obey are enemies!

Enemies must be rooted out completely to prevent future trouble.

Especially a prodigy like Wei Qing.

On the surface, Zhou Yan still smiled: "This is no small matter, it's a joyous occasion for the Wei family."

"With joy at the door, it's not appropriate to harm family ties. What do you think of my suggestion just now?"

Jun Wushang and Li Wen were both stunned, looking towards Wei Qing.

As brothers, they didn't care about any princes.

His Majesty was still in his prime, and it wasn't certain who would inherit the throne.

They would follow Wei Qing's lead in everything.

"Find an opportunity, kill him!"

Yun Tianheng's voice suddenly echoed in his mind.

"Brother Tian, what did you discover?"

"This kid has the aura of the demon race on him. Although he's concealed it well, it can't escape my senses."

Having fought the demon race for so many years, the aura of the demon race had been imprinted into his instincts.

"Understood."

Seeing Wei Qing dazed, Liu Ru's lips curved into a smile.

He's powerful, but so what? He's still afraid when facing a royal descendant, she thought.

Unexpectedly, Wei Qing's next words made her eyes widen.

"I sincerely apologize, Third Prince, but this is a private family matter. I beg your forgiveness for being unable to comply."

Since the other party was colluding with demons, they would undoubtedly be enemies in the future.

For this reason, Wei Qing didn't bother appeasing him and directly refused.

"How dare you, Wei Qing! You won't even listen to the Third Prince's words? Are you trying to rebel?"

The eunuch beside the Third Prince shrieked.

"Who do you think you are?" Wei Qing looked up, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. The eunuch flinched back half a step from the killing intent. Wei Qing curled his lips into a cold sneer, "The Third Prince hasn't said anything yet. Is it your place, a cripple, to overstep your bounds?"

"I am under the Heavenly Mirror Division. The Heavenly Mirror Division only serves His Majesty. You, a filthy person, have no official position or decree, yet you dare to speak of rebellion."

"I think it's you, this eunuch dog, who wants to commit treason."

Cripple.

Filthy.

"You."

The eunuch trembled with rage, veins bulging on his neck. His most hidden shame was cruelly torn open. His withered fingers tightly gripped the whisk, but he froze when he met Wei Qing's icy gaze.

"Useless."

Listening to Wei Qing's veiled insults, Zhou Yan glared fiercely at the eunuch beside him and turned his gaze to Wei Qing, "Since Lord Wei wishes to handle this impartially according to the law... then let's handle it according to the law."

"Your Highness, the Third Prince..."

Liu Ru immediately panicked. If it were handled according to the law, their family would truly be expelled.

Upon meeting Yun Tianheng's indifferent gaze, the rest of her words were choked in her throat.

Their current support was the Third Prince.

They had no right to resist Zhou Yan's command!

"I have other matters to attend to, so I will take my leave now."

As the words fell, Zhou Yan flicked his python robe, his face grim as he strode towards the main door.

Before leaving, he gave Wei Qing a deep look.

"Alright."

"Now you can move!"

"Or do you need me to lend you a hand?"

"Qing'er, do you really have to be so resolute? If your father returns and finds out you treated me like this, he will certainly not let you off."

Wei Zheng rebuked him with feigned heartache, then his tone shifted, "Moreover, your actions today will undoubtedly bring disaster upon our Wei family."

"If you hand over the opportunities you found in Qingcheng, we can go to the Third Prince and put in a good word for you. I believe the Third Prince will not hold it against you then."

"Yes, yes, yes! Now, your brother can continue to assist the Third Prince. With him speaking on your behalf, the Third Prince will certainly not mind your offense." Liu Ru chimed in.

Upon hearing this, Wei Lin's eyes shone brightly, and he even began to fantasize about scenes of various beauties throwing themselves at him after his strength increased.

"You are truly shameless. To want Qingzi's opportunities now, how can you even open your mouths?"

"Get lost!"

"Otherwise, don't blame my blade for not recognizing you."

Jun Wushang looked at the family of three with utter contempt.

"Our Wei family's affairs don't concern an outsider like you..."

"Scram!"

Wei Qing forcefully interrupted Wei Zheng, his gaze icy.

Upon meeting Wei Qing's cold eyes, Wei Zheng felt as if he had plunged into an ice cellar.

As Wei Zheng and the others packed their belongings, Jun Wushang watched them closely, "Do not touch anything that belongs to Uncle Yuan and Qingzi."

"Otherwise, I'll chop off your dog paws."

"Hmph, you will regret this."

Wei Zheng uttered a final threat and, with his wife and son, they left the Wei residence in a carriage in disgrace.

"Are you just going to let them leave like this?"

Li Wen asked curiously.

Wei Qing smiled mysteriously, "The show has just begun!"
