The atmosphere inside the room became tense once again.
"Arguing is one thing, but let's not fight."
Zhou Keyu was extremely anxious and frantically gestured, " Su Hang, I really have to say something to you. Your brother-in-law is clearly here to help you, so why do you have to deliberately provoke him with religious beliefs?"
Yugong Youjing's chest heaved violently, his hand gripping the reverse-blade sword trembling. This guy who had repeatedly blasphemed Yousu Fox God, he wished he could kill him, grind his bones to dust, and vindicate Yousu Fox God's name.
but--
" Su Hang! If it weren't for the fact that you saved Xue Ji's life, I, Yugong Youjing, would never have chosen to betray Yousu Fox God and come to your aid."
Su Hang looked up and said, "You're finally telling the truth because you want to repay me for saving your lover's life."
"That's right." Yugong Youjing angrily sheathed her reverse-blade sword. "After I repay my debt of gratitude, I will atone for my sins with the death of Yousu Fox God."
The atmosphere inside the room returned to calm.
Zhou Keyu asked curiously, "Speaking of which, brother-in-law, didn't Yugong Liuli come with you?"
" Liuli can't come," Yugong Youjing said, calming himself slightly. "She's currently at Yugong Shrine, undergoing a month-long period of fasting and baptism."
Zhou Keyu asked in confusion, "What is fasting and baptism?"
Yugong Youjing explained, "By severing all ties with the secular world, fasting and chanting prayers for a full month, and finally washing away the impurities from one's body with clean water, one completes the baptism and becomes the highest-ranking official of Yugong Shrine —the [Priest]."
Zhou Keyu clicked his tongue and said, "Can you stand not showering for a month?"
"No, that won't happen."
Yugong Youjing shook his head and said, "Modern times are different from ancient times. It's not that strict. As long as you stay at Yugong Shrine and cut off from the outside world for a month, you can do whatever you want, like eating and bathing."
Zhou Keyu suddenly realized, thinking, no wonder Sovereign Dominion's chief vice-captain Liuli has been silent for so long, it turns out she is fasting and baptizing, receiving the inheritance of Yugong Shrine.
"Your Yugong Family is full of talented people. Your cousin Yugong Liuli is Whale Overlord, your cousin Yugong Nishang is Imperial Crown Mao Rabbit · Yuejing, and then there's your subordinate, the Great Tengu Imperial Crown- Xu Dog · Hanlu."
Yugong Youjing asked in astonishment, "How did you know?"
Zhou Keyu puffed out his chest and said proudly, "Back then, Su Hang sent me to investigate the real culprit who instigated the Silver Dragon to seize power. I infiltrated the Imperial Crown and spent a week uncovering the true identities of all the core members..."
In conclusion.
Zhou Keyu, his back hunched and eyes flashing with self-reproach, said, "Although we found out that the real culprit was Jueying, and even guessed that he was Nurarihyon, we were still a step too late, allowing his conspiracy to succeed and expel Su Hang from the team."
"I also bear responsibility for this," Yugong Youjing said through gritted teeth. " Nurarihyon deceived me, using the pretense of helping me investigate the Imperial Emperor to infiltrate the Imperial Emperor Imperial Crown, secretly seize power, and fulfill his personal ambitions."
"However, Su Hang, I must apologize to you regarding the matter of Nishang and the Great Tengu."
Su Hang didn't even lift his eyelids. "What happened to them?"
Yugong Youjing hesitated for a moment, then said, "I already knew that Nishang was the Mao Rabbit · Yuejing of the Imperial Crown. As for the Great Tengu being the Xu Dog · Hanlu of the Imperial Crown, it was Xue Ji told me this yesterday when he defected."
"Defection?"
Yugong Youjing said solemnly, "The day before yesterday, while I was still in the hospital, I received a report from my subordinates that the Great Tengu broke into the Yugong Tower, kidnapped Nishang, took her to Kyoto Airport, and then defected to Huaxia on Nishang's private jet."
Su Hang's bloodshot eyes remained completely unmoved.
Zhou Keyu frowned, activating his 6-second role-playing talent. "The two should know each other's Imperial Crown identities. I'm afraid their defection is a pretense; their real intention is to come to Huaxia to retaliate against Su Hang."
"But that's a bit weak. After all, the vast majority of the core members of Emperor's Crown are in Jiangcheng. If they wanted to launch an offline attack to retaliate against Su Hang, they would have come over the day they learned of Su Hang's Emperor identity."
"Why has there been no movement until today?"
Yugong Youjing had a different opinion. "You Huaxia netizens witnessed Su Hang's combat capabilities firsthand during that live broadcast of the rescue of Liuli. Who would dare to retaliate against him offline? Unless they have a death wish."
Zhou Keyu was completely baffled. Although his talent had been activated, he didn't know enough about Great Tengu and Yugong Nishang to fully understand their thoughts, so he simply stopped thinking about it and changed the subject.
"Brother-in-law, what's the meaning of you bringing key team members here...?"
"I will join your Sovereign Dominion," Yugong Youjing said firmly. "Afterwards, I will follow Su Hang's orders and arrangements. Whether it's taking revenge on Imperial Crown or punishing the traitor Nurarihyon, I will do my best to assist you."
"That's great news, Su Hang!" Zhou Keyu, his eyes lighting up. "What Sovereign Dominion most right now is a gaming expert."
"That saves me the trouble of poaching Overlord King-Titled Player from other teams," Su Hang said with a sidelong glance. "But Yugong Youjing, you are, after all, the former captain of the Hundred Demons team, I don't trust you."
"Don't you trust me?" Yugong Youjing's face darkened.
Su Hang gave the order, " Keyu, contact Sovereign Dominion's legal department and immediately draft a contract worth one billion yuan, with the penalty for breach of contract set at the highest level of 10 times."
"A billion-dollar contract? Ten times the penalty for breach of contract!" Zhou Keyu instantly understood Su Hang's meaning. He was worried that Yugong Youjing might defect at the last minute, so he simply used an exorbitant contract to firmly bind the other party to Sovereign Dominion.
" Su Hang, how little do you trust me?"
Yugong Youjing was heartbroken. The penalty for breach of contract was as high as 10 billion, which he, as the young master of the Yugong Family and guardian, was unable to pay.
The electronic contract has been completed.
Su Hang's bloodshot eyes narrowed slightly as he said, "You can choose to sign, or you can choose not to sign, but if you don't sign, I'll smash your head in with one punch."
"You've changed, Su Hang. You're becoming more and more like Nurarihyon." Yugong Youjing took the stylus and signed his name in humiliation. " The Imperial Emperor I remember was a righteous person who did righteous things."
"And you are now undoubtedly an evil person, and what you do is evil."
Su Hang took out his bank card, his blood-red eyes sparkling with interest as he asked, "Between me and Nurarihyon, who's more evil now?"
"That must be..."
Zhou Keyu handed over the bank card Su Hang gave him, saying enviously, "It's better to be lucky than early. Su Hang just signed an endorsement contract with Coca-Cola, which is just enough to pay your billion-dollar signing fee, brother-in-law."
Yugong Youjing was stunned. He knew that Su Hang could have continued to threaten him with force and refused to pay a single penny of the signing fee, but he still adhered to the spirit of the contract and immediately paid the 1 billion signing fee.
Su Hang has indeed become evil, but his evil seems to be a little different from Nurarihyon's.
" Xue Ji."
"Yes, Your Highness." Xue Ji covered her lips with her wide sleeves.
Yugong Youjing whispered in his ear, "Aren't you able to distinguish lies from truths based on changes in other people's auras? I'm going to ask Su Hang a few questions later, and you can try to figure it out."
"Understood, Your Highness."
