Faced with the Royal Prodigy's questioning, Zhao Ziyue remained calm and unhurried.
"What are you so anxious about?"
"Aren't there still plenty of people who haven't made a move?"
"When Li Yun makes his move is his own decision. You don't need to worry yourselves sick over it."
The Royal Prodigy was deeply unconvinced.
"Ninth Princess, the fire is already at our eyebrows. If Li Yun truly has the confidence to crush those Wantu Kingdom Prodigies, he should have acted by now... If this goes on, the face of our Mysterious Moon Kingdom Martial Artists will be trampled into the dirt."
"Who's going to answer for that loss?"
Zhao Ziyue was instantly angered.
She rose to her feet and barked out a rebuke.
"Shut your mouth!"
"You're at least a member of the Royal Clan. Aren't you ashamed to say something like that?"
"Since when did the face of Mysterious Moon Kingdom Martial Artists need Li Yun alone to uphold it?"
"If there were no Li Yun, would Mysterious Moon Kingdom Martial Artists all lie down and let others kick them?"
"Then what do we need you for in the Mysterious Moon Kingdom?"
The Royal Prodigy was left speechless by Zhao Ziyue's scolding and could only slink away in disgrace.
Even so.
Zhao Ziyue was still somewhat worried about Li Yun's condition. She simply summoned several top Royal Prodigies who had originally been meant to appear later as the grand finale.
She gave them some instructions.
She had them take the stage one by one to tangle with the Dongling Kingdom and Wantu Kingdom Prodigies first, buying time.
As for herself, she quietly returned to the Princess Residence first.
When she saw Li Yun, she discovered that he was merely cultivating in silence and that nothing else had gone wrong.
