You're Not Worth an Amnesty Jade Token!

"If you truly dare to risk your entire Ren Family and your own life to kill me, then what does my death matter? But honestly, Ren Jie, I underestimated you before. Whether you're truly a Hedonistic Young Master or you went crazy after Gao Fei damaged your brain, what you've done today has angered me. Don't think that just because you're the Family Head of the Ren Family, no one dares to touch you. You're dead, do you understand? Even if the entire Ren Family supports you, you're still dead if I want to kill you. Don't think only your Ren Family has been glorious. Your Ren Family has been glorious for the past twenty years, but our Gao Family was continuously glorious for over two hundred years in the past two centuries. Even now, we're not much worse than your Ren Family. In terms of foundation, you're far behind." Gao Peng transmitted these words into Ren Jie's mind using his divine sense.

"The one in trouble now isn't me, it's you. Whether you're truly crazy or just pretending to be a Hedonistic Young Master, you've dug your own grave. You're dead, dead." Gao Peng was a very tolerant person. He had too many secrets that no one knew, but he was also a very arrogant person. And today, in this situation, he was so humiliated by a Good-for-nothing like Ren Jie.

He wasn't afraid of death, so he wasn't afraid of angering Ren Jie at all. If his death at this moment could truly lead to the destruction of the Ren Family and allow the Gao Family to regain sufficient power, then it wouldn't matter. But if he didn't die, he would absolutely not spare this Ren Jie; he would kill him.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered what he said when he reprimanded Gao Fei. If this Ren Jie was faking it, then he must be killed. If he was truly beaten silly and driven mad, so deranged, and he himself was so humiliated by a madman, then he couldn't let him go even more.

"Ren Jie, you little brat! A life for a life! This is the Imperial Palace. Even if you are the Family Head of the Ren Family, you cannot be above the laws of the dynasty. If you dare to touch Peng'er, no one can protect you, and my Gao Family will absolutely not spare you. Release Peng'er immediately!" Just as Gao Peng was threatening him through his divine sense, Gao Zhanyuan was also shouting from outside.

Ren Jie could feel the Killing Intent in Gao Peng's eyes, but he truly didn't care about it, especially after listening to the Sage Dao Discussion. He felt nothing towards Gao Peng's Killing Intent.

"This Family Head naturally won't violate the laws of the state. As for a life for a life, that's nonsense. Look at this." As Ren Jie spoke, he raised his hand and took out a Jade Token.

It was a token made of pure white jade, with two large characters 'Amnesty' written on it, and a few lines of smaller text below. In the Bright Jade Dynasty, silver and gold were abundant and not particularly precious. Even the Guard tokens of ordinary wealthy families were made of gold. What was truly valuable were Jade Tokens that possessed Spirit Artifacts, and the one Ren Jie held in his hand was even more precious.

"Look carefully, an Amnesty Jade Token. Let alone killing him alone, killing your entire family is just a private grievance, as long as it's not rebellion."

"When the Old Ancestor of the Ren Family followed my Grand Founder to establish the Bright Jade Dynasty, he actually obtained an Amnesty Jade Token. And this Family Head has a super awesome and amazing Old Dad who actually obtained two Amnesty Jade Tokens in twenty years. In the thousand-year history of the Bright Jade Dynasty, there are a total of five Amnesty Jade Tokens, and my Ren Family has three. This thing is useless for rebellion, but it's fine for anything else. Having too many of these things is meaningless, just like earning money and not spending it is very depressing. This Family Head has always wanted to find an opportunity to try using this Amnesty Jade Token to see what it feels like."

"Clang..." As Ren Jie spoke, he directly threw the Amnesty Jade Token onto the ground. This Jade Token was not ordinary jade; it had been tempered and would not shatter easily. It landed on the ground with a crisp sound, but at this moment, it shocked everyone's hearts, including Gao Peng, who was still smiling after being beaten, and who was still full of confidence even with the blade against his neck, cutting into his flesh.

Silence. At this moment, the huge square outside the Imperial Palace fell silent.

No one expected Ren Jie to have this move, and even Ren Junyang and the others were stunned. They also completely didn't expect Ren Jie to be holding this and even wanting to use it...

Many people felt it was difficult to breathe. An Amnesty Jade Token! They had only heard of this thing, how many had actually seen one? And today, this Ren Jie actually... took it out and wanted to use it.

Gao Zhanyuan, who was on the periphery, originally wanted to threaten and force Ren Jie to release the person again, but at this moment, his words were stuck in his throat, unable to be shouted out. With this Amnesty Jade Token in hand, if this Ren Jie was truly determined to kill Gao Peng today, it would absolutely not cause any major trouble. How could this be? What to do, what to do? This thing could even be used in advance, it was simply too... too...

Too exciting! Gao Ren was beside him, feeling his breathing become rapid. He completely didn't expect Ren Jie to make such a big fuss. He originally thought it would just be a verbal argument. He was still thinking about how to help Ren Jie humiliate this Gao Peng, whose smile made people uncomfortable, but he didn't expect things to turn out like this. It was too exciting.

Tie Ta clenched his fists beside him. It was too exhilarating. No wonder Old Dad always talked about how he followed the Old Family Head back then...

Fang Yan, Wen Zihao, and even the Second Prince beside them were also dumbfounded. Things were too unexpected. This Ren Jie was truly not just ordinarily crazy. Why was he carrying an Amnesty Jade Token for no reason? Did he really want to find someone to try it on for a long time? Crazy, truly crazy. At this moment, Ren Junyang, Ren Hanlin, and Ren Wenxu, who had gotten out of the carriage on the periphery but were blocked by the Guard Squad, were also stunned.

Was this still the Ren Jie who would rather die than live when they reduced his allowance, and who would constantly say good things behind their backs for an extra ten to twenty thousand taels of silver a month, which was only one to two thousand Jade Coins?

"I'll count to three. Kneel down and cry for this Family Head, otherwise I'll give you this Amnesty Jade Token." As everyone around him was shocked, Ren Jie slowly raised the Battle Blade in his hand: "One."

"Ren Jie, how dare you! Men, prepare..." Gao Zhanyuan outside saw this and reacted abruptly, ordering his subordinates to prepare to rush over. But even though he was a Divine Power Realm existence, facing the Ren Family's Guard Squad, he knew that even with more people, it would be impossible to rush over in a short time, let alone Gao Peng being held by Tong Qiang.

This guy is too damn arrogant, isn't he? Good and bad, happiness or not, are relative. At this moment, the Second Prince suddenly felt that Ren Jie's attitude towards him just now was quite good, at least compared to this moment.

As a prince, it was the first time he felt that in Jade Capital City, there was someone who could be even more arrogant than himself.

"Ren Family Head, please spare his life, otherwise don't blame me for taking action." Fang Yan knew that if he didn't show something at this moment, it wouldn't work. At least say the words first, no matter what happened later, he would have a way out. If it didn't work later, even if he was severely injured by taking action, it would be fine.

There were all sorts of reactions outside, but as the main person being held by Tong Qiang and under Ren Jie's blade, Gao Peng's originally confident and in-control heart finally began to waver at this moment.

He couldn't help but recall his previous analysis. This guy used to only eat, drink, and play with people who were inferior to him and much worse than him. In the eyes of these true Hedonistic Young Masters, he wasn't even considered a Hedonistic Young Master. But now, he had shocked everyone, not just Hedonistic Young Masters, he was even a little crazy.

"Two..." At this moment, Ren Jie's blade had been raised to its highest point.

What to do? What to do? At this moment, Gao Peng's heart finally began to waver. This guy was simply crazy, just like Gao Fei's situation back then. Gao Fei could have really been smashed to death back then. Could it be that after being beaten by Gao Fei, this guy's head wasn't working properly and he was truly a little crazy?

If that was the case, then he was arguing with a madman, and if he really died, he might die in vain. Die in vain, why would this happen? He was actually forced to this point by this guy. He still had a great dream, and the things he was going to do were enough to shock the world. How could he be killed by this madman like this?

No, he couldn't just die under an Amnesty Jade Token.

"Plop!" Kneeling down, Gao Peng finally knelt. As he knelt, tears streamed from his eyes. These were tears of humiliation, tears of unwillingness. The rage in his heart at this moment was almost consuming him.

"He knelt. Let me see if he's crying," Ren Jie said, lowering his head to take a look. He said with satisfaction, "Not bad, he knelt and cried."

"Look how scared you are. Why are you crying? I was just messing with you. As the Family Head of this family, how could I make things difficult for a little kid like you?" Saying this, Ren Jie bent down to pick up the Amnesty Jade Token, stood up, and patted Gao Peng's face with his hand. "You're willing to die, but I'm not willing to part with this Amnesty Jade Token. To be honest, you're not worth it. I was just scaring you just now because I really dislike that smug smile of yours."

Everything is possible only when one is alive. Under Ren Jie's frantic coercion with the Amnesty Jade Token, Gao Peng put aside all his dignity and knelt down. But his heart was almost consumed by rage. Even if Lan Tian, that monstrously abnormal guy, had taken the top scholar position, and even if people like Fang Yan and Fang Qi existed, he didn't take it to heart.

Because he was playing a very, very big game, he didn't care about temporary gains or losses. Instead, he was secretly plotting because he could get in touch with these people earlier and understand their situations.

However, just as he had completed all his studies at the Jade Emperor Academy and was officially leaving the academy to enter officialdom in another month, he had thought of all sorts of changes, and had even planned out his development for the next five years, but he had never expected this scene today.

A spur-of-the-moment test, yet he was forced to this extent by a Hedonistic Young Master, a lunatic-like Puppet Family Head.

Unwilling, truly unwilling. At this moment, Gao Peng wished he could tear Ren Jie apart and swallow him alive to vent his hatred.

Endure, he must endure. He had always believed that he could be like the famous generals of ancient times, like those humiliated emperors, able to temporarily endure any humiliation and ultimately achieve final victory. But when this humiliation and blow truly came, he realized how difficult and painful it was.

If he had calmly viewed Ren Jie's hedonism and madness just now and had the thought of killing Ren Jie, then at this moment, he had the thought of annihilating everyone around him. The Ren Family, the Amnesty Jade Token, right? I will make you, Ren Jie, completely perish, completely... perish!

"Crack..." The suppressed rage under his fury caused tears to flow from Gao Peng's eyes, while his heart burned with rage. His proud self was on the verge of collapse, but he held on. But when Ren Jie used the Sword Qi Jade Token and spoke in a tone as if he were teasing a child, saying that he wasn't worth it, his teeth made cracking sounds under his anger, and several teeth were actually bitten off by him. One can imagine his state of mind at this moment.
