"What's wrong?" Lin Tongxi turned around.
"Brother Tongxi, maybe I... was wrong." Chen Yunxuan took the initiative to admit his mistake.
No matter how rational he is, Chen Yunxuan is a man of affection, righteousness and brains, not a cold-blooded political animal.
"Brother Tongxi, please continue to assist me. I will never be deceived by treacherous people again!" Chen Yunxuan held Lin Tongxi's shoulders with both hands.
Lin Tongxi's anger finally subsided and he nodded slightly.
"Does this count as forgiving me?" Chen Yunxuan asked.
"I guess so. If I didn't forgive her, I would have taken Ruoxue back to the mountains long ago." Lin Tongxi responded.
"I knew you would be like this." Chen Yunxuan took the initiative to extend his hand, and Lin Tongxi also shook hands, and then the two smiled at each other.
"By the way, Brother Tongxi, where exactly is this place?" Chen Yunxuan asked.
"It's a secret technique of the Golden Finger School, kind of like letting you and I dream together." Lin Tongxi continued, "I'll unlock the secret technique now. Don't turn your back on me when you wake up."
"Brother Tongxi, don't worry. I have recalled our common aspirations. How could I doubt you, my comrade-in-arms, again?" Chen Yunxuan responded.
Seeing that Chen Yunxuan didn't seem to be lying, Lin Tongxi ended the effect of [Soul Capture].
When the two woke up, Shen Xingyao and Su Ruoxue were confronting Gao Zhao and others.
"Madam, Su Ruoxue, what exactly did you do to Lord Dingxiang Hou?" Gao Zhao questioned the two.
Shen Xingyao exuded an extremely powerful aura and sternly said, "Master Gao, you have such great authority, yet you don't even take me seriously?"
"I am just doing my duty. Madam, please don't make things difficult for me!" Gao Zhao continued.
Chen Yunxuan stood up, breaking the tense atmosphere between the two sides.
"Gao Zhao, how dare you brandish a sword in front of my lady? What do you want to do?" Chen Yunxuan scolded Gao Zhao.
"Sir, I saw you fainted on the bed and was worried about your safety..." Gao Zhao explained his behavior.
Chen Yunxuan was no longer in the mood to listen to Gao Zhao's explanation and chose to interrupt: "I am just tired and want to rest in bed for a while."
"You disturbed my sleep!"
"But I don't blame you. You acted out of kindness."
"But don't blame me for not reminding you. Don't act recklessly just because you were once my family's servant!" After Chen Yunxuan finished speaking, he walked out the door and left in a huff.
Gao Zhao lowered his head silently, turned around and gave Lin Tongxi and others a vicious look, then followed Chen Yunxuan happily.
"Tongxi, what's the situation?" Shen Xingyao asked.
"Well... I've said everything I need to say, and he's promised me. Let's see what he thinks..." Lin Tongxi said helplessly. He wasn't sure what Chen Yunxuan was thinking at the moment, so he offered another solution: "If it really doesn't work, Ruoxue and I will retreat to the mountains."
"How can this be possible... It's absolutely impossible to rely on senior brother alone, not to mention there's a villain like Gao Zhao." Shen Xingyao tried to keep Lin Tongxi.
Since Gao Zhao came, the relationship between Chen Yunxuan and his teammates has gradually become tense.
Gao Zhao is a person who protects the grand event and has served Chen Yunxuan's parents before.
When Chen Yunxuan was searching extensively for the grand event, Gao Zhao came to him and recognized Chen Yunxuan as his master's child through the jade pendant.
According to Gao Zhao's own account, Chen Yunxuan has the blood of Taizu of Sheng Dynasty and Gaozu of Chi Dynasty flowing in his body.
His mother was Princess Jiening, the daughter of Emperor Taizu of the Sheng Dynasty, and his father was Prince Yi, the son of Emperor Gaozu of the Chi Dynasty.
In order to befriend the original forces of the Sheng Dynasty, Emperor Gaozu of the Chi Dynasty allowed Prince Yi to marry Princess Jiening.
It’s a pity that the Yi Wang branch did not develop very well. By the time of Chen Yunxuan’s father’s generation, it was just an ordinary wealthy family.
As for Chen Yunxuan's mother, she was from the branch of Prince Huling, the son of Emperor Taizu of the Sheng Dynasty.
After the turmoil in the Red Dynasty, Chen Yunxuan's parents fled south.
On the way, Gao Zhao parted ways with them.
After they parted, Gao Zhao met the Hu Sheng Hui, explained his identity, and was responsible for searching for the descendants of the Sheng Dynasty.
This search lasted for many years, and he even became the chief leader of the Husheng Association.
Lin Tongxi recalled Xiaojiu's intelligence. Initially, he hadn't wanted to attack him. After all, he was considered Chen Yunxuan's elder...
But the other party is really too much. If I want to live a secluded life in the mountains, I must get rid of him!
The three of them returned to Xiangjiang County with Chen Yunxuan. Chen Yunxuan seemed to still maintain his indifferent attitude, but at least he no longer refused them.
Lin Tongxi gradually became interested in retreating and prepared to do one last big thing - assassinating Gao Zhao!
However, before he and Xiaojiu could make a plan, Chen Yunxuan summoned him.
Lin Tongxi came to the court and saw Gao Zhao who was arrested.
"Sir, I have already verified the rumors. Everything was caused by Gao Zhao." Chen Yunxuan clapped his hands, and then his confidant Meng Di threw the other person to the ground.
"Sir, I was wrong. I should never have accepted Gao Zhao's money and framed you, sir." The man who was thrown to the ground begged for mercy.
"Gao Zhao, I want to ask you, are you colluding with the Ye Kingdom?" Chen Yunxuan roared.
"So what! I never thought that after so many years of wandering around the world, I would end up falling into your hands!" Gao Zhao admitted frankly. The evidence was irrefutable, and no matter how he tried to argue, it was useless.
"Very good, then execute him according to the law!" Chen Yunxuan made the decision: "As for protecting the grand event... Meng Di, you will be in charge from now on!"
"In addition, you must expel the demons and monsters that are protecting the event!"
"Yes!" Meng Di responded.
Afterwards, Gao Zhao and others were taken away by Meng Di and his group, leaving only Chen Yunxuan and Lin Tongxi.
"Brother Tongxi, are you satisfied with the result?" Chen Yunxuan asked.
"That's about right." Lin Tongxi nodded.
Just then, a messenger ran in and handed Chen Yunxuan the information about Linzhou in the east.
Chen Yunxuan opened the letter and read it with Lin Tongxi.
The content of the letter was very simple, that is, Xie Wenzhou proclaimed himself emperor!
