The Four Great Ghost Emperors collectively looked awful. That remark was downright disgusting—not only did it point out that their boss was gay, it also suggested he had a fondness for chrysanthemums. Just like that, regardless of whether he had brought in reinforcements or whether he formed a contrast with Qin Fen, everyone's attention was successfully drawn to the Eastern Ghost Emperor.
Drawing everyone's attention had originally been their plan. Giving Qin Fen a show of force had been their goal. But fate was now teaching them a truth: plans could never keep up with change.
According to their intended objective, they had succeeded. But their intermediate objective had failed spectacularly. Everyone was indeed paying attention, but they were focused on whether Boss Eastern was the top or the bottom. It had absolutely nothing to do with bringing in reinforcements. This was damn speechless.
He had already been the center of attention, and bringing in a Celestial Master as reinforcements had been such a prestigious move. But it turned out he had other preferences too! Adding oil to a fire perfectly described the situation. With one sentence, Qin Fen had shoved the Eastern Ghost Emperor straight into the eye of the storm.
Being bombarded by countless contemptuous little looks truly felt awful. The Eastern Ghost Emperor's face flushed as he looked at Qin Fen with deep resentment. Were those the words an Imperial Lord should say? Where was his decency?
The Eastern Ghost Emperor looked terrible, and everyone around him was watching the spectacle. If everyone present had not been people of status, the place would probably have been as noisy as a marketplace.
Qin Fen's expression was calm at that moment. No, it should have been described as blank. He seemed to be looking at everyone with complete confusion.
