Feng Yantong wanted Ye Chen dead.
But I always felt that he wouldn't die so easily.
Gu Jian smiled and said, "I don't know if he will die, but he will definitely suffer a fate worse than death."
“If he hadn’t died at Lin Youxian’s hands, I would have killed him too.”
Gu Jian also didn't think Ye Chen would die so easily.
He didn't expect Ye Chen to die at Lin Youxian's hands either.
After all, he was very familiar with the unreasonable fortune of those destined for greatness.
He did this not only to let Ye Chen taste the bitterness of harming him, but also to...
They also wanted to test whether Ye Chen had any other trump cards up his sleeve.
Feng Yantong nodded slightly, knowing that Gu Jian would not let Ye Chen go.
Interestingly, Ye Chen probably didn't know at this time that Du Dafu was actually Gu Jian.
It felt like everything was under Gu Jian's control.
In comparison, Ye Chen seems like a clown.
Thinking about all this, Feng Yantong suddenly said, "Jian'er, you're getting more and more amazing. This senior uncle likes you more and more."
Gu Jian raised an eyebrow and asked, "Which kind of liking are you referring to, Uncle-Master?"
Feng Yantong was slightly taken aback, then blushed and raised her hand to pat Gu Jian's chest.
"You brat, how dare you flirt with your own senior brother?"
Looking at Feng Yantong, Gu Jian felt a strong urge to try it himself.
He is clearly my respected senior brother, yet at this moment, I have the strange feeling that we are in love.
...
On the other side, in the dungeon of the Demon Kingdom's palace.
Ye Chen was desperately channeling his spiritual energy into his ring.
Ye Chen's expression was not good.
Now, only the ring can help him.
But there has been no response so far.
It was at this moment.
Footsteps echoed through the quiet dungeon.
The high and mighty Empress Lin Youxian arrived at the palace dungeon and then came to the cell where Ye Chen was.
Behind Lin Youxian were two powerful figures from the Other Shore Demon Kingdom, each with a cultivation level of Saint.
Seeing Ye Chen imprisoned in the cell, Lin Youxian's face turned cold.
"Ye Xiaofan?"
She spoke coldly, her tone full of authority.
Ye Chen was taken aback, and quickly stood up from the ground, saying, "That's right, Your Majesty. I am Ye Xiaofan."
Seeing Lin Youxian's cold expression, Ye Chen quickly said, "Your Majesty, I am innocent. I did not kill the Third Prince, Long Jingtian."
Lin Youxian sneered, "You didn't kill Long Jingtian, so you didn't intend to subdue me?"
Ye Chen's body stiffened instantly.
How did she know he wanted to subdue her?
Has she already interrogated the Flower King?
Did she know about his intentions towards her?
Seeing Ye Chen's expression, Lin Youxian immediately knew she was right.
Her smile grew even colder on her aloof and stunningly beautiful face.
Seeing this, Ye Chen immediately realized that his actions had aroused her suspicion.
Fearing he would be accused of killing Long Jingtian, Ye Chen quickly said, "Your Majesty, I did not kill the Third Prince. Please believe me!"
Lin Youxian sneered upon hearing this, "I came here not to see you make excuses."
Ye Chen was startled and asked, "Your Majesty, then who are you?"
Lin Youxian said, "I want to ask you, how do you want to die? To be steamed to death, boiled to death, or to be torn apart by chariots? Hmm?!"
What?
Ye Chen was shocked!
This woman has such a cruel heart!
But Ye Chen didn't know why she was so certain that he had killed the Third Prince, Long Jingtian.
He did not do that.
Ye Chen felt that he had been tricked and framed!
However, for a time, no one knew who had tricked them.
The feeling of being cheated without knowing who it was made him feel frustrated and maddened, almost to the point of vomiting blood.
But then Ye Chen added, "Your Majesty, killing me is a small matter, but letting the real culprit escape is a big deal!"
"This matter is clearly a frame-up by someone. Your Majesty, please investigate thoroughly."
"If Your Majesty does not believe me, you can confront the Queen of Flowers. I was with the Queen of Flowers last night."
Are you with the Queen of Flower?
Lin Youxian was surprised, but subconsciously thought of what Gu Jian had said that morning.
Gu Jian said he spent the whole night doing something with his maid.
Lin Youxian also verified Gu Jian's words through the mystery of the great formation.
Lin Youxian was thinking to herself, "Ye Chen said he was with the Queen of the Overlord Flower."
Could it be that you're doing the same thing?
Lin Youxian felt nauseous for a moment, then quickly denied it.
She witnessed Ye Chen kill the Third Prince Long Jingtian with her own eyes. What use is his excuse?
Ye Chen, sensing something was amiss, grew even more panicked and continued, "If Your Majesty still doesn't believe me, I can swear a solemn oath. If I kill the Third Prince, may my father, Ye Xiaofan, be utterly destroyed!"
Lin Youxian sneered, "Even if you swear a poisonous oath, I still won't believe you."
"Besides, it's hard to say whether Ye Xiaofan's identity is real or fake."
"Now tell me, why do you want to subdue me? Why do you want to kill Long Jingtian? What benefit will you gain from killing him?"
"You'd better tell me everything. If you do, I can let you die a quick death."
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen's expression turned even more unpleasant.
It's a dead end either way, what can he say?
But Ye Chen was, after all, a man of destiny, and he did not lose his composure.
He considered for a moment, then decided to take a gamble and said, "Your Majesty, I do indeed wish to subdue you, but I truly did not kill Long Jingtian."
"A dying man's words are good, and a dying bird's song is mournful. I have no reason to deceive Your Majesty."
