What Would You Do?

Lu Chen abruptly turned his head to look, ferocity flashing in his eyes.

"What are you laughing at? Got a problem?"

Young Master Qiu quickly cupped his hands. "My apologies, I'm just happy. Happy that Young Master Lu Chen is bolstering Great Yan's divine might. Unlike some people, who act like idiots every day, letting others walk all over them without daring to utter a peep!"

"Qiu Mo, do you want to die?"

A man standing near the main seat's side had a cold glint flash in his eyes.

He was Ji Bafang, a royal disciple and a prodigy from the Royal Academy.

Qiu Mo flinched and cupped his hands. "Young Master Ji, you misunderstand. You should know what I mean."

"So you're saying that's me?"

The young man sitting opposite Ji Bafang suddenly opened his eyes.

His gaze was piercing, filled with aggression.

He was Yang Sheng, a prodigy from Tianyu Academy, full of vigor, his protective aura flickering on and off his body.

Although only at the seventh level of the True Martial Realm, his powerful aura made him someone not to be underestimated.

A sharp glint flashed deep in Qiu Mo's eyes. He chuckled awkwardly, "Senior Brother Yang, please don't mind me. Consider it as if I've passed gas, hehe... hehe..."

"A dog like an ant, this is no place for you to speak!" Yang Sheng coldly rebuked, his presence commanding respect even without anger.

When he looked at Lu Chen, his eyes seemed to ignite with lightning, his aura like a ferocious beast lunging forward.

"Who gave you the guts to spout such nonsense here? What do you think you are!"

Lu Chen's eyes narrowed.

This was the second Martial Dao Cultivator he had encountered, and his aura was even more terrifying than Wan Tong's.

Lu Chen smiled faintly and suddenly asked, "A citizen of Great Yan?"

"Of course!" Yang Sheng stated stiffly.

"It seems you haven't forgotten your roots. Since you're a citizen of Great Yan, tell me, if someone wanted to marry your Great Yan's heir, what would you do?"

Yang Sheng's eyes narrowed.

This dog was digging a pit for him.

He couldn't help but sneer coldly, "Take back that self-righteous, disgusting expression of yours, or I won't mind teaching you why flowers are red!"

"What would you do?" Lu Chen pressed, his expression unchanged, refusing to let it go.

The hall fell into dead silence.

All eyes were focused on Yang Sheng.

Yes, what would he do?

He represented Tianyu Academy. Whether he agreed to Great Yan's heir's marriage alliance or not, it would be wrong.

Crucially, Lu Chen had labeled him a citizen of Great Yan.

If he agreed, Tianyu Academy would be seen as ambitious and treacherous. If he refused, he would be seen as inferior to the royal family.

He was trapped no matter what.

Qiu Mo watched the scene unfold with a face full of smiles.

He was very satisfied with his masterpiece. His goal was to stir up trouble, to make the water as murky as possible.

"Kid..."

"What would you do?" Lu Chen interrupted Yang Sheng, adopting an aggressive stance.

Yang Sheng clenched his fist, killing intent flashing on his face.

Just as the atmosphere reached its peak, Lu Chen suddenly chuckled, "Hehe, a prodigy of Tianyu, I've certainly learned something."

Many people's faces twitched violently.

Damn, that was more cutting than stabbing Yang Sheng twice.

It would have been better to just curse him directly.

"If you're here to watch the show, then get the hell out! Damn it, you dare to watch the princess's joke? What kind of people are you all!"

Lu Chen suddenly roared, startling everyone, making their hands tremble.

"You, you, you..." Lu Chen pointed his fingers. "I don't believe you don't know the princess is being forced into a marriage alliance, yet what are you doing? Do you still have the face to eat and drink peacefully?"

"And you say the main character hasn't shown up yet, yet you're so willing to debase yourselves, so eager to watch the princess's joke?"

"Is the little wolf king your father or your ancestor? You all look like idiots, damn it!"

All-encompassing, indiscriminate humiliation.

With a single roar, everyone present, without exception, turned red with shame.

Especially the black-clothed youth Lu Yang, who was listening intently, felt completely awful.

The red-clothed woman Zhu Sha brought a piece of fruit to her lips, her eyes flashing with sharp light.

Is he truly reckless, or is he trying to get the princess's attention?

If it's the latter, then the rumored extraordinary talent is being overestimated.

Although it achieved the effect of surprise, it's not impossible that he's just a reckless person driven by lust.

People like that don't live long.

"This... Young Master Lu, we were invited by the princess. For you to say this... sigh, why would you speak to us like that?"

Seeing the awkward silence, Qiu Mo fanned the flames a little.

"Then what would you do?" Lu Chen sneered.

Shao Mo was stunned and quickly cupped his hands, "I'm just an unknown nobody, you can just treat me as air!"

"Oh? So you're just here to watch the show?"

"Ah... ah?" Qiu Mo's scalp went numb.

He suddenly realized he had underestimated this Lu Chen.

It seemed Lu Chen could see him stirring up trouble behind the scenes.

"No matter how small a person is, they should know who their master is. What would you do?"

"Of course, I resolutely oppose the princess's marriage to a foreigner. This is an insult to Great Yan. How could I just watch? Of course, I'm here to support the princess!"

"So, you're saying you'd fight anyone who dares to disrespect the princess?"

"Of course, I'd die a thousand times over!"

Lu Chen suddenly pointed at Yang Sheng and stared at Qiu Mo, "As a citizen of Great Yan, he doesn't even know what to do about the princess being forced into a political marriage. Is that disrespecting the princess? Is that ignoring the Great Yan royal family?"

"His stance is not firm, which is inherently problematic!"

"Come on, didn't you say you'd die a thousand times over? Take him down!"

Damn it!

Qiu Mo almost vomited from disgust.

He couldn't accept the challenge, nor could he refuse it. It was an impossible situation.

Yang Sheng was also seething but couldn't speak.

Their differing stances were already problematic. If this bastard amplified it indefinitely, it would be hard to handle.

"Since you're here to watch the show, watch it properly. Don't try to stir up trouble and treat others like fools."

Lu Chen's expression turned stern, and Qiu Mo trembled.

He was indeed seen through.

He couldn't help but become vigilant.

He didn't want to end up beaten like Pang Rong, becoming a complete joke.

The key was not to become the center of attention!

His identity couldn't withstand scrutiny.

"You say one thing and do another, yet you dare to stir up trouble here. What are your intentions?"

Since he was going to cause trouble anyway, it didn't matter who he targeted.

Lu Chen truly latched onto Qiu Mo.

A disciple from a minor family, with average strength, and foolishly trying to assert his presence. Dealing with him was easier than dealing with others.

If Qiu Mo had known Lu Chen's thoughts, he probably would have smashed his head against a wall.

"Enough, don't embarrass yourself further, especially with foreigners present!" Ji Bafang said sternly.

Lu Chen glanced at him and was about to retort when laughter echoed from outside the door, and a group of people entered.

There were over twenty of them, all in black clothes and red cloaks, like a surging tide, exuding an imposing aura.

The person they were escorting had flowing red hair, a handsome and noble demeanor, and an innate nobility.

He also exuded boundless aggression.

His eyes shone with a wolf-like glint.

Many people couldn't withstand his gaze and quickly lowered their heads.

It was the Little Prince of the Wolf Court, Di Kun, the very person Lu Yang had mentioned. He had finally arrived.

But as they entered, everyone froze.

One person lay on the ground, convulsing and covered in blood.

"What's going on? Did we miss a good show?" Di Kun asked Lu Yang.

Lu Yang chuckled and pointed at the standing Lu Chen, "He strongly opposes the princess's marriage. In his anger, he struck someone and said he was interested in you. The main guest has arrived, continue, hehe..."

The latter part was directed at Lu Chen.

Di Kun glanced at Lu Chen and waved his hand, instructing:

"Throw him out, the dog-like thing dares to act wild!"

He didn't even spare Lu Chen a glance.

One of them grinned and walked over, reaching for Lu Chen's neck.

Thump!

Lu Chen lifted his leg and kicked, sending the other man flying out of the hall.

Clean and swift, without any hesitation.
