Let alone unifying all the states in the Eastern Region, given the current strength of the Yintian Dynasty, its capabilities are at most limited to barely managing to maneuver between the various countries in the Eastern Region, and that's about it.
If Shen Zhao were by her side to assist her, she could certainly have openly and fairly humiliated Linghu Ming.
But……
"Even if you won't give me face, can you at least give Shen Zhao face? After all, I am his...fiancée..."
She herself wasn't so confident about that last sentence, and just kept pressing tightly to the hidden purse on the ribbon at her waist.
"Fiancée? You?"
Linghu Ming shook his head with a cold smile.
"Empress of the Great Yin Dynasty, ask yourself honestly, do you think you are worthy of my brother?"
She kept claiming to be Shen Zhao's fiancée, but the moment she opened her mouth, she was pleading for another man.
"You dare mention the word 'fiancée'?"
These words were like a sharp blade, piercing Yu Xiyan's heart with immense pain.
Are they worthy?
Yes, do they deserve it?
She took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and fell silent.
Shen Zhao would risk his life for you; he would even find a way to pluck the stars from the sky for you.
But what about myself? How did I treat Shen Zhao's sacrifices?
They trampled on his dignity time and time again, and almost never gave him a positive evaluation.
Are they worthy?
Yu Xiyan kept asking herself: Maybe letting go is the best choice?
But soon, that thought was completely forgotten.
Instead, a resolute determination I hadn't felt in a long time emerged: No, Shen Zhao can only belong to me, I truly love him! I can't give up like this! I've always only loved him!
Just as Linghu Ming was about to continue his sarcastic remarks, Su Yunying spoke up: "That's enough, Fellow Daoist Linghu, don't make things difficult for her anymore, let's focus on the important matter."
Linghu Ming: "Miss Su, are you pitying her? Do you even know what kind of person she is?"
What kind of person she is has nothing to do with me. All I know is...
If we don't find a way to get into the ancient temple soon, we might not find what we're looking for.
Su Yunying pointed to the ancient temple full of people ahead and made a face at the two of them.
Liang Hao then realized, "We almost missed our important business. The ancient temple is open, we should hurry in."
Linghu Ming slapped his forehead: "I'm such an idiot, why did I waste so much time talking to a woman like her? The inheritance of the Divine Phoenix is more important."
Su Yunying: "Then let's hurry up and go."
Liang Hao pointed at Yu Xiyan: "Consider yourself lucky today, otherwise the Great Yin Kingdom would have to prepare a national mourning banquet."
So the three of them left Yu Xiyan, who was still in a daze, and headed straight for the ancient temple.
After a long while, seeing that Yu Xiyan remained motionless, Ling Yuxuan shouted, "Junior sister, don't let this matter be delayed!"
Yu Xiyan suddenly woke up, turned around and looked in the direction of the ancient temple, then looked at Ling Yuxuan, and frowned and said, "Then what about your injury, Senior Brother?"
"My injury is nothing serious. The temple is about to open, so you should go there quickly. I'll come find you once I've recovered."
"Then, senior brother, you must take good care of yourself."
"Go ahead, junior sister, I'm fine."
Yu Xiyan didn't say anything more and leaped towards the ancient temple.
