Chapter 257: What is the Emperor doing here in the middle of the night?

Chen Yaoxing sneered, still looking nonchalant.

Shen Qingyi: "..."

Although what he said makes sense, things are not that simple.

“What if we can’t tear it down?”

She responded with "Counterattack with your own moves."

Hearing this, Chen Yaoxing laughed coldly, and suddenly reached out and tapped her on the forehead.

"Shen Qingyi, the game hasn't even started yet, and you're already saying these discouraging words to undermine my confidence. Don't you think it's unlucky?"

"You'd better not be such a bad person, otherwise, if I get into trouble, I'll definitely drag you down with me."

Shen Qingyi: "..."

She put her hand to her forehead and said weakly, "I'm just worried about you..."

It would be fine if he didn't appreciate it, but he dragged her down with him when he was having a hard time. How inhumane!!!

"You can worry about me, but you are absolutely not allowed to say discouraging words."

Shen Qingyi: "..."

"Okay, okay, you're the best. You definitely won't lose, okay?"

"That's more like it!"

Looking at him like this, Shen Qingyi rolled her eyes in her heart. She suddenly looked at the quiet Chen Mu on the other side and reached out to hold his arm.

"Brother, look how narcissistic he is."

"I'm not narcissistic, I'm confident."

Shen Yaoxing quickly interrupted, not giving her any chance to slander him.

Listening to his brother and sister bickering, Chen Mu curled his lips and chuckled, praising Chen Yaoxing with certainty.

"Well, it's certainly not narcissism. Yaoxing is extremely intelligent, brave, and resourceful. He's no less capable than anyone in the same dimension."

By listening to Chen Wan's thoughts more often, Chen Mu accidentally learned a lot of new words.

For example, latitude and organisms in this sentence.

He truly recognizes and admires Shen Yaoxing.

It is undeniable that Chen Yaoxing is somewhat unscrupulous in his approach to things, but this is exactly the characteristic that people who achieve great things need to possess.

Those who think too much and are too cautious, those who restrain themselves and follow the rules, those who are kind and upright and always think of others...if they have any of the above characteristics, it will be difficult for them to achieve great things.

Therefore, although he is not inferior to Chen Yaoxing in both intelligence and martial arts, if they are not brothers but enemies, he will definitely not be able to defeat Chen Yaoxing.

"Brother also said that we are at the same latitude, but that thing is not at the same latitude as us..."

Shen Qingyi muttered softly. She still remembered what her younger sister had said.

"If that system is a four-dimensional existence, then the world in their book can only be considered two-dimensional. To say that it is a dimensionality reduction attack is an exaggeration."

Such an insurmountable gap, what does it matter how powerful Chen Yaoxing is?

He can't even touch that system, how can he fight back?

"Well, we all understand Qingyi's worries, but there's nothing we can do. We can only go all out and deal with it with all our might."

"Let Yaoxing go to bed early, and we can deal with the rest tomorrow."

At least we need to know the relationship between several tasks and the information about the props. Now, even these most important things are not clear, so it is unnecessary to worry.

At night.

Chen Wan woke up from her dream at the right time.

[It’s the middle of the night, my second brother should be asleep...]

"Brother, if I see something I shouldn't, please don't blame me. I'm doing this for you."

After muttering to herself for a while, Shen Wan released her mental power and swept it outside.

The sky was pitch black, without a trace of moonlight or starlight.

Lanterns were hung high in the corridor, emitting a faint glow that was very eye-catching in the endless dark night.

Chen Wan slowly admired the night view of the mansion, and took in the guards on duty.

Suddenly, a chaotic sound of fighting was heard not far away. Shen Wan's attention was instantly drawn away, and she began to feel confused.

【Why is there a sound of fighting? 】

【Did someone break in? 】

[Wait, that direction seems to be my sister's yard. Could someone want to harm my sister in the middle of the night?]

[No, no, I have to go protect my sister...]

As soon as the thought came to mind, his mental power reached the scene of the fight. However, the scene was not quite the same as what Shen Wan had imagined.

Two figures wrapped in darkness forced the guards back with swords in hand, and took out a pure gold plate and shoved it in front of the guards.

"The Emperor has arrived, why don't you all kneel down to greet him?"

The guards: "..."

Chen Wan: “…”

[What? Your Majesty?]

Is this true or false?

Chen Wan was a little confused. She used her mental power to probe behind the two sword-wielding figures and saw a familiar face.

The man stood in the night, his expression cold and proud, his body tall and straight, dressed in a gorgeous brocade robe, with an air of dominating the world and looking down on everything, it was none other than Xiao Jue.

【……】

[I thought there was a thief who wanted to harm my sister, how could it be the emperor? ]

[Why are you here so late at night and not sleeping?]

After confirming the man's identity, Shen Wan was at her wit's end. Not only her, but even many of the guards had their heads buzzing.

After looking at each other in confusion, the captain of the guards respectfully took the gold medal from the secret guard.

In the dim light of the lamp, the guard captain saw the words "Mandate by Heaven, Live Long and Prosper" on the gold medal, and his face changed drastically. He knelt on the ground with a plop, and held the gold medal above his head with both hands.

It was clearly freezing weather, with water turning into ice, yet the captain of the guards was sweating profusely.

"Humble, humble position..."

Before he could say anything, the man in the darkness frowned and interrupted him to salute.

"Okay, get up. You guys don't have to bow."

With so many people performing the ceremony together, it would inevitably cause quite a bit of noise, and it would be bad if it alarmed even more people.

That's not what he wants to see.

The gold medal was taken back. After expressing his gratitude, the captain of the guards stood up in fear and trepidation. The other guards were also terrified and dared not even breathe.

In the middle of the night, the emperor sneaked in. What on earth was he doing?

"All of you, please step aside. Oh, and don't report my presence to Duke Shen. Remember that?"

The guards: "..."

Woohoo, do they dare to say they can’t remember?

The heads of the entire clan are no joke.

As for stopping the emperor?

Haha, they don’t have the courage. Not to mention them, even if the Duke were here, he would have no choice but to obey orders respectfully.

All under heaven belongs to the king, and the entire Yun Kingdom belongs to the emperor. As long as the emperor is willing, he can go anywhere.

They dared not conceal the truth, nor did they dare to disobey the emperor's order. Many guards retreated with sad faces, feeling that it was extremely difficult to do so.

[Alas, I'm in a dilemma, neither reporting nor not reporting. Even as a bystander, I find it difficult to be a security guard.]

[Your Majesty, do you find it interesting to stay up late at night and come here to embarrass others?]

[By the way, you sneaked into my sister's yard, aren't you trying to take advantage of her? ]

Thinking of this possibility, Shen Wan became alert instantly, but soon became conflicted.

[If this guy really wants to take advantage of me, what should I do? ]

[To intervene or not to intervene?]
