"Am I too late?"

Before the fight even started, another person arrived; it was none other than the Imperial Preceptor, Qi Tianchen.

The Grand Tutor has arrived, the Imperial Preceptor has arrived, along with the main character, Jinxuan.

Alright, very good, the witnesses have all arrived. Lin Bufan is about to make his move.

But before we take action, we need to offer Jinxuan a drink.

As the old saying goes, a full stomach and plenty of water make for a good journey.

"Master, please have a drink."

Lin Bufan ignored Qi Tianchen, who arrived late, and gestured to Jin Xuan in invitation.

Jinxuan wasn't worried about whether the wine was poisoned; she picked up the wine in front of her and drank it all in one gulp.

After finishing, he smashed the wine glass heavily on the ground, shattering it into countless pieces.

He then proceeded to criticize Xiao Chong.

"Second Prince, if I remember correctly, Lin Bufan killed Yan Zhantian, right? Now you're cooperating with the enemy who killed Master. How can you face Master?"

"The mere hatred of killing one's master... is not worth mentioning."

Xiao Chongyi's words were astonishing, leaving Jin Xuan, Dong Zhu, Qi Tianchen, and the others speechless and bewildered.

Is this something a human being would say?

You're an unfilial disciple who hasn't avenged your master.

"Compared to my important matters, this is nothing, and besides, matters of the martial world should be settled within the martial world itself, and it has nothing to do with anyone else."

After Xiao Chong finished speaking, he sat down and said, "Strictly speaking, I am also a guest. The host is Young Master Lin. Today I will only observe and will not do anything else."

“If you’re not going to do anything, I won’t do anything either. I’ll just sit down and watch the show.” Ye Xiaoying pulled his daughter to sit down as well.

Marquis Lanyue said, "You all sit down, then I will sit down too."

Dong Zhu narrowed his eyes slightly, glancing at Xiao Chong, then at Lin Bufan, and then at Jin Xuan, calculating the thoughts of the various factions in his mind.

Tired of calculating, he finally sat down. "If you want to fight, then fight. Let this Grand Tutor see whether the Sword Immortal on the Unrivaled List is more powerful or the Five Great Supervisors are more powerful."

“This battle seems inevitable, so I will sit down and observe.” Qi Tianchen also sat down.

Outside Qianjin Terrace, someone shouted, "The new sword immortal is going to fight the Five Great Supervisors!"

Immediately, passersby gathered around, discussing the matter animatedly outside Qianjintai.

Suddenly someone shouted, "The Emperor has arrived!"

The Emperor has arrived?

How could that be? Wasn't the Emperor sick? He's only been feeling better for a few minutes and he's already getting out of bed and walking around?

The people inside Qianjintai didn't believe it at first, but they soon did, because they heard Emperor Mingde's voice.

"Lin Bufan wants to kill Jin Xuan, which means he wants to kill my people. I've come to see for myself."

As they were talking, a middle-aged man dressed in a dragon robe and wearing a crown, exuding an aura of authority, and looking haggard, walked into Qianjintai.

It was none other than the emperor of the Northern Li Dynasty, the supreme ruler, Emperor Mingde.

Behind Emperor Mingde were the Four Great Supervisors, namely the other supervisors besides Jinxuan.

They served the emperor and came along.

"Father, why have you come here?" Xiao Chong immediately knelt down first.

“Brother.” Marquis Lanyue did not kneel, but went over to help Emperor Mingde with his hand.

"Your Majesty, please take care of your health." Jinxuan also hurriedly came over to support Emperor Mingde's other hand.

"emperor."

"emperor."

Qi Tianchen, Dong Zhu, and Ye Xiaoying, father and daughter, quickly stood up, turned around and knelt before Emperor Mingde.

Who would have thought that a mere Lin Bufan's small banquet would attract the attention of the Emperor?

"Long live the Emperor!" the crowd shouted in unison.

"Our Emperor is five years old!" The shopkeeper, waiters, and other guests at Qianjintai shouted in unison.

"Long live the Emperor!" the people outside Qianjintai shouted in unison, and knelt down before the platform.

Only two people did not kneel before Emperor Mingde.

One is Lin Bufan, and the other is Hua Jin.

Hua Jin, disrespectful to elders, walked over angrily and pushed Emperor Mingde's waist and abdomen hard, "Go, go, go back quickly. You are my patient. If you get out of bed before you're better and fall ill again, people will say that my medical skills are not good."

"Little girl." Emperor Mingde reached out and pushed Hua Jin aside. "Thank you for your treatment. I feel much better now and feel much more at ease. Once I've finished dealing with things here, I will naturally return to the palace."

"No, no, you should go back and lie down now."

"Someone come here."

Emperor Mingde beckoned to his attendants, "Please take the little miracle doctor aside first."

"Little Divine Doctor, this way please, don't disturb the Emperor." A senior eunuch pulled Hua Jin away.

Hua Jin was small and weak, and was involuntarily led away from Qianjintai.

A small problem has been resolved, but a big problem remains.

"Lin Bufan?"

Supported by Marquis Lanyue and Jinxuan, Emperor Mingde walked step by step to face Lin Bufan and carefully examined him.

After a long silence, he arrogantly asked, "Everyone kneels before me, why don't you?"

Lin Bufan chuckled: "Everyone? Hua Jin didn't kneel before you."

“She is different; she is my savior and has special privileges.”

“I am different too. I am not from Beili. Your imperial status is invalid against me.”

"But you are the White King's man, his subordinate."

"What a joke! My collaboration with Xiao Chong was only temporary. We ended the collaboration after the killing."

"You want to kill Jinxuan?"

"good."

"Because he has a connection with the Red King?"

"Wrong, because he invaded Snowmoon City, intending to harm my friend."

"Xueyue City..."

Emperor Mingde raised his head and recalled the past, "Li Hanyi, Lei Men, and Sikong Changfeng, they were friends of the Prince of Langya."

“That’s right, Your Majesty.” Jinxuan interjected, “When I came over just now, they were talking about the Prince of Langya, and even said they were going to Xueluo Manor to find the Prince of Yong’an and something. They were clearly plotting a rebellion.”

"Treason?" Emperor Mingde turned to look at Ye Xiaoying. "General Ye, the Prince of Langya has been dead for many years. Do you still want to commit treason?"

Ye Xiaoying quickly denied it: "Your Majesty, please do not believe the slander of petty people. How could your humble servant dare to plot rebellion?"

"I suppose you wouldn't dare, so it is you who intends to rebel?" Emperor Mingde then turned his attention to his son, Xiao Chong.

Xiao Chong hurriedly replied, "Your subject wouldn't dare. Your subject is merely helping Young Master Lin seek justice for Snow Moon City."

"You, do you think I don't know what you're thinking? As long as I live, you will always be a prince."

Well……

A shadowy, murderous glint flashed in Xiao Chong's gray eyes.

Fearing that his father might have noticed, he quickly returned to normal.

"They all dare not admit it, they dare not stand behind you, so what about Lin Jianxian..."

Emperor Mingde re-examined Lin Bufan and mocked, "You came to Tianqi City to stir up trouble, get involved in the struggle between the princes, and even want to kill my people. Who gave you this courage?"

"I don't need anyone to give me courage. I am the whole world by myself."

Lin Bufan gathered a sharp sword intent between his fingers and pointed it directly at Emperor Mingde: "No matter how much you say, it's useless. Today I am determined to kill Jinxuan. Even the heavens cannot stop him."
