The officials thought Si Jin would say something like "Don't pursue a desperate enemy," but they never expected that he would wipe out the whole group!
He truly is the emperor's chosen successor; how ruthless!
On that day, the ministers, concerned for the lives of their own children, obediently withdrew.
Si Jin then obeyed the order to arrest Nangong Liuer, and with a smile, placed her and Ning Sizhen in the same cell.
They left plenty of time, and even left behind a dagger.
It was enough to cause Nangong Liuer and Ning Sizhen to quarrel and kill each other because of their failed rebellion.
He then returned to the Fourth Prince's residence and watched the real-time surveillance footage from the prison cell through the system.
After they had finished tearing it apart, he released another divine power, prompting Nangong Liuer's useless system to issue a notification.
[Master, the system indicates that the chosen one of this plane's destiny has changed hands.]
The new chosen one is: Ning Sijin.
This message completely overwhelmed Nangong Liuer's rationality.
Is Ning Sijin the chosen one?
Doesn't that make her a villain destined to be killed?!
If she had known this would happen, why did she help Ning Sizhen cause trouble for Ning Sijin in the first place?
Ning Sijin is loyal and trusting. She trusted her so much, so she should live a good life with Sijin!
It wouldn't have come to this, with him now a prisoner...
… …
Nangong Mi fled back to the Huashan Sect.
Upon returning, he discovered that his senior brother, the leader of the Huashan Sect, had been assassinated by Beitang Linyuan in revenge.
Looking at his senior brother's corpse, Nangong Miqi's temples throbbed, and he gritted his teeth as he asked, "So, the fact that my senior brother helped me kill Beitang Linyuan's adoptive father has been exposed."
"Beitang Linyuan brought people from the Songshan Sect back with malicious intent to retaliate, and killed my senior brother?!"
The junior disciple below trembled and replied with a soft "Yes..."
"Insolence!!!" Nangong Mi kicked over the table next to him and said coldly, "The position of martial arts alliance leader should have been mine all along!"
"Many years ago, it was snatched away by that good-for-nothing father, Beitang Linyuan. After finally destroying the Beitang family, that old man from the Songshan Sect came after me!"
"Fine, since that's the case, let's fight to the death and wipe each other out!"
He vented his anger on the sect and led his disciples northward overnight.
They attempted to coordinate an attack from within and without, in league with the Northern Di people, to attack Dayong.
The Northern Barbarians and the Dayong Dynasty were sworn enemies, and given the opportunity, they would inevitably invade like mad dogs.
Selling out one's country is nothing.
Anything is acceptable as long as he can kill those idiots who oppose him!
… …
The news that Nangong Mi was heading north reached Beitang Linyuan's ears at an extremely fast pace.
At that time, he had just received the letter from Si Jin.
The letter briefly touched upon the power struggle that had erupted.
However, Si Jin wrote a lengthy account of what clothes she wore, what hairstyle she wore, what weapon she used, and how graceful she was on the day the rebellion was quelled, in three thousand words.
Indeed, this letter is very respectful.
Those who witnessed this might breathe a sigh of relief and then praise the Fourth Prince for his humor and wit.
But concern can cloud judgment, and Beitang Linyuan was still extremely worried.
Upon seeing Nangong Mi heading north, they immediately became alert, vaguely sensing that he intended to seek help from the Northern Di, and ordered their disciples to intercept him.
The disciple hesitated and said, "But young master, this is a matter for the Huashan Sect. If we forcibly stop them, we might break the rules..."
"No, we must take it on! Even if it breaks the rules, we must take it on!" Beitang Linyuan said, his tall figure reflected in the candlelight, his words resolute: "This is not just a matter of江湖恩怨 (jianghu grievances)."
"It could very well be a matter of war between the two countries, the survival of the people on the border, and even more so..." the life of Jinjin.
With her scheming and planning in the capital, Jinjin must have already devised a way to deal with Nangong Mi.
He absolutely cannot let that old scoundrel Nangong Mi make a mistake at his hands!
He wanted to abduct and kill Nangong Mi.
To avenge the massacre of the Beitang family, to avenge his adoptive father from the Songshan Sect, and to protect and guide his arrogant path to dominating the world.
Only in this way, only in this way...
Only you deserve to love him.
