Yugong Youjing stood up abruptly, his face filled with shock.
"Does Nishang know the Imperial Emperor?"
"It's not just about knowing the Imperial Emperor..." The Great Tengu looked guilty, glancing sideways at the expressionless Xue Ji. "Young Master Nishang's game identity is a core member of the Imperial Crown - Mao Rabbit · Yuejing!"
" The Mao Rabbit · Yuejing?"
Yugong Youjing's eyes widened. Although he had no connection with Yuejing, he had heard of her name: the strongest mid-laner in the Imperial Crown, who had once been entrusted by the Imperial Emperor to help Exalted Emperor win the title of Overlord!
"Is the Imperial Emperor coming to Kyoto to rescue Liuli?"
Yugong Youjing.
No matter how strong the Imperial Emperor's influence and appeal are, they are limited to the game level. Saving Liuli is nothing short of a pipe dream, but he can take advantage of the Imperial Emperor's opportunity to save Liuli to meet the Imperial Emperor!
even--
Using the connections of the Yugong Family, they framed the Imperial Emperor with fabricated charges such as "kidnapping," "intentional injury," and "robbery," effectively placing Imperial Emperor under house arrest within the Yugong Family!
He, Yugong Youjing, had always acted with integrity and uprightness, but when it came to topics involving the Imperial Emperor, he had to become despicable.
after all!
The Imperial Emperor is a righteous person. Ten years ago, he recognized the Imperial Emperor as the chief vice-captain of their Hundred Demons Team and the chief vice-leader of the Hundred Demons Night Parade Group!
"Based on the recovered QQ chat logs," Great Tengu said, looking down at his phone, " the Imperial Emperor has clearly rejected Young Master Nishang. In short, the Imperial Emperor will not come to Kyoto to rescue the Liuli Priestess."
"Won't?"
Yugong Youjing's smile froze, as if he'd been doused with cold water. "Give me the phone that Nishang uses to contact the Imperial Emperor, right now!"
The Great Tengu looked troubled and said, "Lord Youjing, Young Master Nishang Chang has already smashed her phone. The QQ chat history had to be recovered from the data center using a programmer."
"That bastard!"
Yugong Youjing gritted his teeth. As early as the day he returned to Kyoto, he tried to contact the Imperial Emperor in the King of Glory, but it turned out that he had been blocked and deleted by the Imperial Emperor. He finally managed to contact the Imperial Emperor through Nishang Chang's QQ number.
Who would have thought that Nishang would smash the phone!
"Without harming Nishang, I don't care if you use physical punishment or torture during interrogation, or any other 'hawk-like' tactics, just get Nishang's QQ account and password!"
Yugong Youjing was unusually impatient. "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and go!"
"Yes, Your Highness/ Youjing!"
Xue Ji and Great Tengu left the monitoring room.
" Xue Ji, didn't you tell Lord Youjing that I'm Xu Dog · Hanlu, a core member of the Imperial Crown?" Great Tengu hesitated for a moment, then turned his head and asked.
"Um."
"Why?" the Great Tengu asked, puzzled.
Xue Ji said calmly, "If I'm not mistaken, Your Highness intends to possess the Imperial Emperor, which means imprisoning Imperial Emperor within our Yugong Family. Do you think this is possible?"
"Perhaps," said Great Tengu. " Kyoto is the territory of our Yugong Family. Once the Imperial Emperor sets foot in Kyoto, dragons will have to coil up and tigers will have to lie low. Lord Youjing can deal with the Imperial Emperor with ease."
Have you considered the consequences?
"Consequences?" The Great Tengu was stunned.
Xue Ji's eyes darkened as she said, " The Imperial Emperor is the number one player in King of Glory of Honor of Kings. He has an extremely exaggerated influence and appeal in the game. If he were to disappear from our Kyoto city, how would Huaxia react?"
"What kind of reaction can we make?" Great Tengu was completely baffled. "You said it yourself, the Imperial Emperor is a powerful King of Glory, but in reality, he's not some all-powerful figure."
" The Imperial Emperor isn't the one, but those King of Glory players who like him?"
" King of Glory player?" Great Tengu was stunned.
Xue Ji said coldly.
" King of Glory is a national mobile game in Huaxia with hundreds of millions of players, from toddlers to elderly people in their sixties. Let me ask you, do you know the real identities of these hundreds of millions of players?"
"I... I don't know." The Great Tengu looked bewildered.
"Then let me tell you, they are students, workers, intellectuals, police officers, soldiers, and government officials," Xue Ji said, glancing at him. "They all have one thing in common: they all like King of Glory and Imperial Emperor."
The Great Tengu's pupils dilated, as if he had realized something.
Xue Ji continued, "These players who like Imperial Emperor may not be all powerful figures in Huaxia, but all of them combined are enough to make a powerful figure in Huaxia intervene in this matter!"
Great Tengu felt a chill run down his spine, cold sweat pouring down his back. "Therefore Youjing, we cannot allow the Imperial Emperor and Imperial Emperor Youjing to meet, at least not in Kyoto!"
Xue Ji nodded. "You're not stupid."
"What about Exalted Emperor?" Great Tengu asked, wiping his sweat. "Although Exalted Emperor was a rising star in the King of Glory of King of Glory world, he had considerable influence and appeal. Youjing killed Exalted Emperor, so why didn't the Huaxia side react at all?"
" Exalted Emperor deserves to die!"
Xue Ji suddenly flew into a rage, her beautiful eyes filled with chilling murderous intent. "That lowly bastard actually broke His Highness's ribs! I wish I could chop him into mincemeat and throw him into the Seto Inland Sea to feed the fish!"
The Great Tengu shivered.
Xue Ji valued Yugong Youjing more than her own life. Eight years ago, at a high-society dinner in Kyoto, a wealthy merchant's son deliberately tripped Yugong Youjing, and the next day, that merchant's son was found dead in his home.
The culprit was none other than Xue Ji!
"But Exalted Emperor is not dead!"
"Not dead?" Great Tengu was stunned.
Suppressing her rage, Xue Ji tried to remain calm and said, "There are no news reports about Exalted Emperor's death on Huaxia social media platforms. Don't you find that strange?"
"Is it possible that the Huaxia police are concealing the news due to public opinion?" Great Tengu hesitated for a moment before saying, "Furthermore, the top Sovereign Dominion is paralyzed, and all indications suggest that Sovereign Dominion is currently in a state of leaderlessness."
Xue Ji narrowed her eyes slightly. "The bamboo sword Your Highness used to kill Exalted Emperor, I sent to the family's biological department for testing, and no human DNA was detected in it!"
"That doesn't make sense," Da Tian said in astonishment. "I remember there were bloodstains on the bamboo sword at the time, and Lord Youjing clearly stated that he used the bamboo sword to cut through Exalted Emperor's waist, and blood spurted out. How could there be no DNA information?"
"Although no human DNA was detected, water, carbon dioxide, aspartame, flavorings, and other food additives were detected."
The Great Tengu looked on incredulously. "This sounds like beverage ingredients?"
"To be precise, it's sugar-free cola!"
"Sugar-free cola?" The Great Tengu froze, then his eyes widened. "Could it be—"
"Um."
Xue Ji said with a deep gaze, "Your Highness, the bamboo sword didn't pierce Exalted Emperor's waist, but rather the sugar-free cola in his Exalted Emperor pocket. The so-called blood splattering was just an illusion caused by the cola breaking and spraying out scarlet liquid at high speed!"
" Exalted Emperor... is not dead!"
The Great Tengu's face shifted between pale and flushed, his mind churning with turbulent emotions. "Was the person who helped the Liuli Shrine Maiden reach the Thousand-Star Rank last night the Exalted Emperor?"
Xue Ji's eyes sharpened. "Absolutely!"
The Great Tengu swallowed hard and said, " Xue Ji, if Exalted Emperor knew that the Liuli Priestess was going to die, would he come to our Kyoto to save Liuli?"
"I don't know, but I hope Exalted Emperor comes!"
Xue Ji's eyes flashed with a fierce light, filled with murderous intent. "Only in this way can I avenge His Highness's broken ribs!"
