Let's rewind to six days ago.
August 25th, late at night, Lake Seal Villa District.
"Waaaaah, Yaya, hmph hmph hmph, my brother is such a big liar! He's clearly the Captain of the Imperial Crown of the Imperial Emperor, but he's been deceiving me all this time. What a big liar! I'm never talking to him again!"
" Sui Bao, you'll hurt yourself crying like this."
Jiang Sui's intermittent sobs could be heard coming from the bedroom on the second floor.
In the living room on the first floor, on a black leather sofa, Yin Long looked up at the ceiling with a pained and complicated expression, Hu Xiao lowered his head, rubbing his round face with both hands, sighing one after another.
"Damn it! The captain... how can the captain be Imperial Emperor?" Yin Long slammed his fist against the sofa, struggling in pain. " Imperial Emperor is our mortal enemy, so should we kill him or not?"
"Damn it, no wonder his attitude changed subtly when he learned of our Three Champion Emperors's identity." Hu Xiao rubbed the bridge of his nose and sighed deeply, "So he's our mortal enemy, the Imperial Emperor!"
After a long while.
"The agreement to kill the Imperial Emperor must be fulfilled."
Yin Long's eyes were gloomy as he gritted his teeth and said, "Back when the three of us parted ways, we made a pact that whoever found the Imperial Emperor in reality would kill him to avenge Imperial Emperor."
"Now that the three of us have found the Imperial Emperor, let's work together and kill Imperial Emperor to vent our anger."
"Damn it, you're right." Hu Xiao Roar rallied, slamming his right fist into his left palm, his eyes gleaming with ferocity. "We can't be soft-hearted just because the Imperial Emperor is Brother Su. We must avenge him without missing a single bit!"
Yin Longhu and Xiao reached a consensus.
They both looked at the single sofa opposite them.
Huyan Lan curled up in a ball, her arms wrapped around her knees, her long, black hair falling down to cover her pale and haggard profile, her eyes dark and unfathomable.
"Big-breasted girl, it's time to share your opinion!"
" Xiao Lan, it's just a matter of a word. As long as you agree to kill the Imperial Emperor, we'll immediately grab our weapons, storm back to Huating Residential Complex, and slaughter Brother Su!"
Russian.
Huyan Lan bit her lip hard, exhaled with a trembling breath, tucked her hair behind her ear, revealing the sparkling heart-shaped diamond pendant, put on her shoes, and slowly stood up.
Under the watchful eyes of Yin Long and Hu Xiao.
With a thud.
Huyan Lan knelt down, her proud head bowed, her delicate face, hidden by her beautiful hair, broken with pain. Her voice trembled as she said, "I know this is unfair to you, but I beg you, give up your revenge and help Su Hang."
Yin Long jumped to his feet, shocked. "Big-breasted girl, what are you doing?"
Hu Xiao stood up right after him, his face full of shock, and he stammered, " Xiao Lan, aren't you shortening our lifespans?"
"Get up, get up quickly."
Yin Long and Hu Xiao panicked and rushed forward to help Huyan Lan, who was kneeling on the ground, up, but he wouldn't get up.
Hot tears welled up in Huyan Lan's eyes. Ignoring the two people supporting her, she kowtowed desperately, "As long as you give up your revenge and are willing to help Su Hang reclaim the Imperial Crown, I will do anything for you, even kill me."
"Big-breasted girl, I promise you, get up now."
" Xiao Lan, I promise you, get up first, we'll talk after you get up."
Upon hearing this...
Huyan Lan then stood up, wiping away her tears with both hands.
"Although I don't know Brother Hu's true thoughts, I was just joking when I said I wanted to kill the captain. After all, given the captain's amazing fighting power, who in the world could kill him?"
Yin Long glanced at Hu Xiao beside him, thinking that now that he was sure the big-breasted girl was on his side, if he was sure that Hu Xiao really wanted to kill the captain, then he would join forces with the big-breasted girl to take down Hu Xiao.
"Damn it, I was just testing you guys. Although I'm furious that Brother Su concealed his Imperial Emperor identity, my anger has subsided, and it's not a big deal."
Hu Xiao glanced at Yin Long and thought to himself, "Damn it, thank goodness Yin Long didn't intend to kill the Imperial Emperor. It was just a false alarm. Otherwise, he would have had to join forces with Xiao Lan to send Yin Long to the Western Paradise to retrieve the scriptures."
Huyan Lan's cheeks flushed, and she bowed deeply to both sides, "Thank you, thank you for being willing to abandon your thoughts of revenge and help Su Hang reclaim the Imperial Crown."
She thought to herself, thankfully Yin Long and Hu Xiao were just joking, otherwise she would have killed them when they came to help her up.
Yin Longhu and Hu Yanlan exchanged a smile.
"I really didn't expect that big-breasted girl would actually kneel down and beg us for the captain's sake," Yin Long said with a sly grin. "To be honest, big-breasted girl, do you like the captain?"
Bang!
"Hey, what the hell? Why are you hitting me?!"
Huyan Lan cracked his knuckles, glaring at him, and said, "You really are an incurable Coin Sex Fiend! Will you die if you don't think about men and women?"
"But you're the captain's first love." Yin Long rubbed the large bump on his head, wincing in pain. "Back then, you and Imperial Emperor were a couple in the King of Glory."
"That's just a game," Huyan Lan said, feigning reluctance. "Besides, my pairing with the Imperial Emperor is more for completing couple quests."
" Xiao Lan, since you want us to help the Imperial Emperor reclaim his Imperial Crown, you must have a concrete plan, right?" Hu Xiao pondered.
"Hmm." Hu Yanlan nodded, her lips parting slightly, "The moment I learned of Su Hang's imperial identity and his expulsion from the team by the Imperial Crown's higher-ups, I started thinking about how to help him reclaim the Imperial Crown."
Yin Longhu was stunned.
Huyan Lan crossed his arms, his eyes gleaming, and said, "Perhaps inspired by Nurarihyon's infiltration of the Imperial Crown, I've come up with a brilliant plan."
"What brilliant plan?" Yin Longhu asked with a whistle.
Huyan Lan explained in detail, "By utilizing the Crowned and Proclaimed Emperor Competition controlled by our Three Champion Emperors, we persuaded Su Hang, the Captain of Sovereign Dominion, and Nurarihyon, the person in charge of Imperial Crown, to reach a betting agreement, with the stakes being each other's teams."
"Wait a minute." Yin Long frowned and said, "We're Sovereign Dominion's people, how could Nurarihyon possibly set up the betting venue at the Crowned and Proclaimed Emperor competition?"
"Didn't we already leave the Sovereign Dominion Team?"
Huyan Lan said meaningfully, "As long as we lead our respective teams back into the Imperial Crown's embrace, creating the illusion that we are irreconcilable enemies with the Imperial Emperor, and then tell Nurarihyon about our desire for revenge against the Imperial Emperor, he will 100% agree."
"Holy crap, brilliant, absolutely brilliant!"
Hu Xiao looked at her with newfound respect, giving her a thumbs up and saying, "I always thought Yin Long was the team's strategist, but I never imagined that Xiao Lan, you're the real brain of the team."
Huyan Lan said with a shiver, "Thank you, but I feel insulted."
At this moment.
The sound of hurried footsteps coming down the stairs could be heard.
"Slow down, Sui Bao, wait for me."
Hu Yanlan and Yin Longhuxiao looked towards the stairwell.
But then she saw Jiang Sui with tears streaming down her face as she carried her suitcase.
Huyan Lan stepped forward. " Suisui, where are you going?"
Jiang Sui's eyes were brimming with tears. "Going home. I quit the Sovereign Dominion Team in a fit of pique and ran away from home. You all quit the Sovereign Dominion Team too. My brother must be feeling so bad right now that he wants to die. I have to go home and take care of him."
Before Huyan Lan, Yin Long glared and scolded, "You can't go back. Going back now will only influence the captain's judgment. If he's not ruthless and heartless, he'll never be able to reclaim the Imperial Crown."
"So you're just going to ignore whether my brother lives or dies?"
With red eyes and barely conscious, Jiang Sui said, "I just figured it out upstairs. I don't care if he's Imperial Emperor or not, he's Jiang Sui brother, my blood relative in this world..."
"Calm down, Suisui." Huyan Lan hugged Jiang Sui and comforted her, "For your brother, the Imperial Crown Imperial Crown is his whole world. He must take it back from Nurarihyon and reclaim his entire world."
"On the surface Su Hang will reclaim the Imperial Crown alone, but secretly, your Sister Lan, Yin Long, Hu Xiao, and I will do everything in our power, even at the cost of our lives, to help Su Hang."
Jiang Sui gradually calmed down, her eyes red and swollen, and said, " Sister Xiao Lan, is there anything I can do?"
Huyan Lan smiled and said, "I happen to have an important task for you."
Jiang Sui asked, "What mission?"
Huyan Lan narrowed his eyes and said, "Collect and organize evidence of Nurarihyon's persecution of the King of Glory of Glory community. This will be used in the Crowned and Proclaimed Emperor competition!"
