Slaughter Blade Reappears!
As it happened.
Just then, several more people entered the restaurant. At their head was a handsome young master with fair features, followed by several attendants.
This young master was none other than Bai Xiao, the son of the current Grand Tutor, Bai Ye!
Among the attendants at his side, one of them was Si Ce.
The group made their way upstairs toward a private room, and by coincidence, their room was right next to Ye Qingxue and the others'!
Before entering the private room, Ye Qingxue glanced back and saw Bai Xiao, Si Ce, and the others following closely behind.
A cold smile touched the corners of Ye Qingxue's lips, and she deliberately left the door ajar!
Inside a private room at a restaurant in Son of Heaven Palace, Ye Qingxue pushed open the door. Facing the Imperial General and the Prefectural Assistant of Badlands Prefecture inside, she revealed a trace of icy amusement and said, "The two of you truly are forgetful nobles. How did you forget me so quickly? The Sword Lake martial artists have been able to move so conveniently throughout Divine Capital, and we have the two of you to thank for your support!"
"You're remnants of Sword Lake!" The Imperial General flew into a rage, pointing at Ye Qingxue as he growled in a low voice.
After the Heavenly Surveillance Bureau foresaw a year ago that Sword Lake harbored rebellious intentions, it immediately dispatched a massive army to suppress them. Although most of Sword Lake's remnants had died in the campaign, a small number of martial artists had still escaped. Filled with resentment, they began waiting for opportunities to take revenge on the high officials of Divine Capital.
Some time ago, Prince Rong's son had been killed by Sword Lake's remnants.
