Ghost Valley Zi

Great Qin Heavenly Dynasty, Xianyang Saintly Capital. In the Imperial Court.

"Ying, Zhong Shan has thrown your Great Qin's court into chaos. We Dragonfolk are clearly Great Qin's guardian beasts, yet Zhong Shan summoned us to protect him. This is an insult to Great Qin, a contempt for Great Qin!" Ao Si Hai loudly protested in the Imperial Court.

"Oh? What do you want me to do?" Ying asked indifferently.

Not the slightest emotion could be seen on Ying's face. His eyes were like deep pools, impossible to see through.

"This is a national disgrace. Great Zheng is showing contempt for Great Qin. We should get to the root of the matter and curb their arrogance!" Ao Si Hai said furiously.

"Is that so?" Ying asked flatly, a trace of displeasure flashing through his tone.

"Of course!" Ao Si Hai immediately shouted.

"You, Ao Si Hai, are the Dragon Clan Supreme—not Zhong Shan. Why can't you keep your own dragon clan under control?" Ying countered.

"Because, because of a traitor, that...!" Ao Si Hai sensed that something was wrong with Ying.

"Then you still haven't managed your dragon clan properly. I think you should first put your own dragon clan in order!" Ying said indifferently.

Ao Si Hai looked at Ying. A surge of anger flashed in his eyes, yet he had nowhere to vent it. He could only turn and leave with unwillingness burning in his heart.

"Court dismissed!" Ying said indifferently.

He rose, flicked his sleeve, and vanished from the main hall.

Li Si was not in the hall. Of the court's officials, only Prime Minister Lu remained. Lu Buwei glanced in the direction Ao Si Hai had left and revealed a cold smile.

"Prime Minister Lu!" Bai Qi suddenly called from nearby.

"Oh? General Bai?" Lu Buwei
