Crushing the Bootlicker, Catching the Adulterers Red-Handed!

Qin Luo's sudden attack caught everyone completely off guard. The imposing aura of a Ninth Layer of the Divine Ability Realm powerhouse instantly suppressed Chen Mo.

Smack! A vicious slap landed on Chen Mo's face, instantly swelling his cheek. He staggered, fell to the ground, and spat out a mouthful of blood.

He was dumbfounded.

But within two seconds, he came to his senses.

Someone actually dared to hit him. Someone in the Imperial Capital actually dared to slap his face. He was furious.

"Ah! You're courting death! I'll kill you, I'll kill you!" Chen Mo roared, drawing the longsword at his waist and charging at Qin Luo.

Qin Luo wore a calm, breezy expression. He glanced at Li Yuan and said with a smile, "Look, he's trying to murder a prince. Tsk, tsk..."

Li Yuan's heart skipped a beat at those words, especially when Qin Luo spoke again.

"He's attempting to murder a prince. If I defend myself and kill this fellow, there shouldn't be any problem, right?"

Boom! Li Yuan felt as if his head were about to explode. Kill him? Qin Luo wanted to kill Heroic Martial Marquis's only grandson?

No, he could not let Qin Luo do that!

If Heroic Martial Marquis learned that Chen Mo had died right in front of him, he would be dead for sure!

Whoosh! His aura erupted, reaching the Cave Heaven Realm. With a leap, he rushed before Qin Luo and blocked Chen Mo.

"Young Marquis, stop!" he shouted at Chen Mo.

Chen Mo grew even angrier. "Get lost! If you don't get out of my way, I'll kill you too!"

Li Yuan was furious inside. He was trying to save Chen Mo's life, yet the fool could not tell good from bad.

A powerful aura suppressed Chen Mo. Li Yuan roared, the explosive sound leaving Chen Mo completely stunned.

"Could it be that you intend to harm a prince of the Great Qin Dynasty?!"

"Those who murder a prince shall have their entire clan executed!"

Boom! Chen Mo staggered and nearly collapsed. Fortunately, his attendants reacted quickly and hurried forward to support him.

From beginning to end, Qin Luo had only thrown that one slap. He had not made another move, nor had he intended to.

He was merely a bootlicking dog. Killing him would only splatter blood all over him and bring a little extra trouble.

The real show was only beginning.

Qin Luo looked at the paper in his hand and smiled. "Gu Qingxue, tsk, tsk..."

"Someone was willing to openly plot against a prince for Gu Qingxue. Just how great was this woman's charm?"

"Do you know, sir?"

He looked at Li Yuan as he asked. Li Yuan immediately replied, "Your Highness, Gu Qingxue is the beloved daughter of Vice Dean Gu of Great Qin Academy. She is quite renowned in the Imperial Capital."

"Oh, is that so?"

"Then it seems I'm not losing out by having such a woman as my fiancée, am I?"

Fiancée? This was the first time Li Yuan had heard of it as well. Still, he only wanted to deal with Qin Luo quickly and bring him to the Imperial Clan Court.

He felt that Qin Luo was a hot potato. He had a feeling that if he had not intervened just now, Chen Mo would certainly have died the moment Qin Luo made his move!

"Your Highness is of noble status. Naturally, there are very few people worthy of you."

"Oh? Is that so?" Qin Luo's gaze fell upon the carriage again, causing the two people inside, who had been watching the show, to frown.

Then Qin Luo spoke casually, "I think my fiancée has already come to welcome me."

Those words made Gu Qingxue's heart skip a beat.

Sensing her concern, Lin Xuan smiled and said calmly, "Don't worry. He cannot see inside."

"Besides, he has never seen you before."

"Mm." Gu Qingxue nodded and continued watching Qin Luo. To her, the arrogant and overbearing Qin Luo looked like a petty man suddenly elevated to power, utterly revolting.

As her gaze rested on Qin Luo, she saw him begin walking toward her carriage.

Her heart skipped another beat, and a thought surfaced in her mind. Could he really have discovered me?

She screamed wildly in her heart, Don't come over! Don't come over!

Xi Huang's voice sounded by Qin Luo's ear at that moment. "Is the woman inside your fiancée?"

Having become the primary soul of the Human Emperor Banner, Xi Huang's soul power had basically been fully restored. With the Human Emperor Banner's aid, her strength could rise to another level.

Of course, the difference from before was that she now belonged to Qin Luo.

"Tsk, tsk, that woman has no sense of shame at all. I think you should punish her properly!"

Qin Luo could hear the resentment and anticipation in Xi Huang's tone.

It was as though she wanted to watch Qin Luo whip Gu Qingxue harshly.

"Sure enough, women who have been trained are different. A little twisted," Qin Luo muttered.

He strode to the side of the carriage and smiled at it. "I'm guessing that my fiancée, Qin Luo's fiancée—the fiancée of the Ninth Prince of the Great Qin Dynasty—is inside this carriage."

"Am I right, Gu Qingxue, Miss Gu?"

At those words, many people began discussing among themselves.

"Gu Qingxue is his fiancée?"

"I heard that the Emperor himself decreed that Gu Qingxue would become his fiancée."

"Looks like the Emperor was not so heartless toward this prince who had been lost outside after all."

Chen Mo was also stunned, his gaze falling on the carriage. "Qingxue is inside the carriage?"

"She must be terribly disappointed in me just now." Chen Mo felt a stab of pain in his heart. "No, I can't back down!"

He prepared to step forward again, taking out another letter of annulment as he walked toward Qin Luo.

This marriage had to be annulled today!

For love, he would be a warrior charging into battle!

Gu Qingxue panicked. Looking at Lin Xuan, she asked, "Brother Lin Xuan, what should we do?"

"It's nothing." Lin Xuan said calmly, "Just answer him, then we'll leave."

Gu Qingxue steadied herself and called outside, "Ninth Prince, Qingxue merely came to take a look at Your Highness today. Since I have seen you, Qingxue shall return now."

The carriage turned around, ready to head back toward the Imperial Capital.

Qin Luo took one step forward and blocked the carriage's path.

"I heard that the Gu Family's young lady is a rare beauty in the Imperial Capital. Why not come out and let me see you? I would like to see whether you are worthy of this prince!"

"Qingxue has caught a chill today. Your Highness, please do not make things difficult for Qingxue." Gu Qingxue's slightly trembling voice came from within as she refused Qin Luo.

"Did you catch a chill, or do you simply not dare to come out?" Qin Luo asked in return.

"Don't go too far!" Chen Mo jumped out again, intending to help Gu Qingxue out of the predicament.

Qin Luo glanced at him and said indifferently, "Idiot bootlicker."

Though he did not understand the words, Chen Mo knew Qin Luo was insulting him.

Before he could retort, Qin Luo continued speaking to the carriage. "Miss Gu, I'm guessing you aren't the only person inside that carriage, are you?"

"I have a feeling there's another man inside your carriage!"

The moment those words came out, Gu Qingxue and Lin Xuan's expressions changed.

Lin Xuan immediately said, "Leave, right now. Ignore him!"

But in the next instant, a sacred might descended as Qin Luo summoned the Taixu Bell.

"Adultery is not a very good habit!"

"I would like to see who had such audacity as to so humiliate the Great Qin Imperial House!"

"Smash it for me!"
