Foolish people are always unwilling to believe reality and instead deceive themselves with false hope.
Suppressing his surprise and suspicion, the Prince of Pingnan feigned anger and asked, "Grand Preceptor, what brings you here so late at night?"
"We want justice," Long Xun said calmly.
The Prince of Pingnan was filled with rage, but he reminded himself that this person before him was not someone to be trifled with. After a long while, he asked, "What justice is there that has brought the Imperial Advisor to my residence to demand it? Could it be that someone in my residence has offended the Imperial Advisor?"
He was just being sarcastic, but Long Xun nodded: "That's right."
The Prince of Pingnan was so angry he almost laughed: "Then tell me, Imperial Advisor, who in my palace has offended you? If you can answer, I have nothing to say. If you can't... don't blame me for taking your case to the Emperor for your unreasonable behavior!"
Long Xun ignored him, merely raising his head slightly and saying indifferently, "Caught him."
Everyone: "???"
Soon, they understood what Long Xun meant.
A rattling sound came from the roof tiles, accompanied by a muffled groan. A moment later, a figure descended from the sky and landed in front of the group.
Perhaps it wouldn't be accurate to say he wasn't skilled enough. When the man landed, he did a somersault in mid-air so that he didn't fall flat on his face in disgrace. Instead, he squatted down for a moment before slowly straightening up.
He was a handsome and refined man with a paler complexion than most. At this moment, his forehead was covered in cold sweat, and his hair was stuck to his forehead and temples with sweat.
The three time travelers recognized him immediately upon seeing his face—the legendary Prince of the South who looked exactly like the emperor.
Milk Tea jumped down from the roof and landed in Long Xun's outstretched palm. It chirped a few times at Long Xun, proudly indicating that it had completed its mission.
Its adorable appearance prompted Long Xun to gently stroke its back fur with his thumb before letting Milk Tea crawl into the wide sleeves of the Myriad Flowers outfit.
While Long Xun and Milk Tea were exchanging feelings, Gu Nu and Chen Ziqi were carefully observing this Prince of the South whom they had never seen before.
In fact, Gu Nu and Chen Ziqi initially imagined that the Prince of Nan would be a good-for-nothing. After witnessing how handsome the Emperor was, they were mentally prepared for the Prince of Nan, who looked just like the Emperor, to be handsome as well. However, they still thought that the Prince of Nan was all show and no substance, a person who was beyond redemption.
Don't you see how low the IQ of the rebellion plan is? The people who can participate in this plan are not very intelligent. Ye Gucheng should be an exception. He seems to have no interest in the rebellion plan. Everyone can see that he is just forcing himself to do something for Baiyun City and the Ye family.
But after seeing the Crown Prince of the South, everyone had to overturn their own ideas.
The handsome man was calm, patient, and self-controlled. When he fell from the roof, Gu Nu and Chen Ziqi both saw that his back was cut by the tiles, and small clusters of blood splattered. But he didn't cry out, and his expression didn't change much.
His face did indeed look exactly like the emperor's, but his overall demeanor was quite different from that of the harmless, herbivorous emperor.
This man, probably because he learned swordsmanship from Ye Gucheng, exuded the sharp and cold aura unique to swordsmen. His eyes were calm, rational, bright, and spirited, as if all the stars in the sky were immersed in them.
Long Xun was slightly taken aback when he looked at his overly bright eyes.
These eyes... they look so familiar, so familiar.
Soon, amidst the King of Pingnan's shocked, angry, and distressed inquiries about his heir, Long Xun snapped back to reality. No one noticed that his thoughts had just wandered off.
"Is that Yin Bei, the heir of the Prince of Pingnan?" The Gu woman gently tugged at Chen Ziqi's sleeve and whispered, "He doesn't seem like such a stupid person."
"Shh... Just leave everything to Brother Long," Chen Ziqi whispered back.
After comforting the Queen of Pingnan, Yin Bei calmly asked Long Xun, "I wonder what business the Imperial Preceptor has with me?"
Long Xun glanced at Yin Bei for a moment, then suddenly said, "You look exactly like Yin Chen. Does Yin Chen know that?"
Yin Bei remained calm as ever: "I don't know."
A slight commotion arose among the people inside the palace, and Prince Pingnan suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Follow me into the palace to meet the Emperor." Long Xun flicked his sleeve and took the lead in walking out as if it were his right. Gu Nu looked at the others awkwardly, then quickly followed behind Long Xun, lowering her head and pretending that no one could see her.
Dragon God, your arrogance is putting so much pressure on her! QAQ
Chen Ziqi was also flustered, but she tried her best to remain calm and followed Long Xun.
Ignored, the Prince of Pingnan's face turned pale and then purple as he watched the three people about to leave the palace. If they revealed that the Prince of Pingnan's heir looked exactly like the emperor, the emperor would be on guard no matter what, and his rebellion plan would have no chance of succeeding!
That hateful imperial advisor, since he is a dragon, why did he come to the mortal world? Why did he have to interfere in human affairs? Couldn't he just stay in heaven?
If he hadn't given the emperor a protective magic weapon (a dragon-shaped phantom), how could he have been forced to come up with a half-baked plan to rebel when the dragon was away from the capital to provide disaster relief? Since it left, why is it suddenly returning now?
He must not be allowed to see the emperor!
Suddenly, the Prince of Pingnan felt a surge of heat in his mind. He forgot that he was just a mortal, and that he was facing an existence far beyond that of a mortal. At the moment when his years of planning and the ambitions that arose after discovering that his son looked exactly like the emperor were about to be shattered, his mind was blanked by the overwhelming emotions.
