"They've gone mad!"
"Blaspheming the Ninth Princess in public!?"
"Within the Great Gan Dynasty, who would dare be so brazen toward the Ninth Princess? Previously, a prodigy from a great clan merely gossiped about her behind her back, and the Imperial Lord had him executed on the spot!"
The crowd buzzed with discussion. As they looked at Ye Xuan, it was as if they were looking at a dead man.
"First, he offended the Night King, and now he dares blaspheme the Ninth Princess. Ye Xuan, I'm waiting to see how you die!"
Xuan Zhou raised an eyebrow. Even he had not expected Ye Xuan to be so determined to court death in every possible way!
"Very well..."
But the next moment, what left Xuan Zhou and the others stunned was that the curtain atop the imperial carriage was lifted, revealing a face capable of bringing ruin to a nation.
Then the Ninth Princess rose and stepped outside the imperial carriage. Her tone was even somewhat haughty as she said, "You can come up now!"
With that, she raised her delicate hand. A long flight of steps formed from crimson flames extended from the imperial carriage to Ye Xuan.
Not only had the Ninth Princess refrained from executing Ye Xuan on the spot, she had actually invited him into the imperial carriage!?
What did this mean!?
The crowd exchanged baffled looks, completely dumbfounded.
Before they could recover, Ye Xuan had already ascended the fiery steps under the gazes of all the kings and prodigies.
Only after Ye Xuan entered the imperial carriage did the Ninth Princess's expression turn cold again. Her dark-red eyes brimmed with imperial majesty.
Her gaze swept over the people below before she said indifferently, "You may continue..."
With that, she turned and entered the imperial carriage
