tarted: “Zi’er should avoid going outside for a period since that eighth prince won’t give up.
The heinous villain will do anything.”

Sixth Ancestor smashed the table and shouted: “Why the hell are we afraid? Is he going to kill all of us? He doesn’t have the capability and we’re not so easily bullied.”

“I am responsible for my action.
If they want revenge, they can come and find me.” Liu Suzi said.

“Seventh Sister, should you be saying this? If it wasn’t for Brother Feng, who knows if you would have been able to return.” Liu Suhong retorted.

In other circumstances, Liu Suzi would have barked back.
Alas, she stared at Feiyun in the corner and said: “I told him that I would give up on the competition when he decided to help.”

“Really?” Liu Suhong’s eyes flashed brightly.

Three ancestors inside the hall became alarmed.
Sixth Ancestor said: “Zi’er, this is an important matter, you cannot be hasty.”

“Haha, Sixth, you’ve lived for so long yet you still don’t understand Zi’er.
She wants to take responsibility in order to not involve the rest of the clan.”

Sixth Ancestor stroked his long beard and happily said: “I feel that Feng Feiyun was perfect and saved Zi’er just in time without harming our reputation.”

The ancestors on Liu Suzi’s side trembled with rage but there was nothing they could do.
Her choice was correct.

“If no one objects, I will write a letter to the territory lord and urge him to make the first princess the official successor.” Third Ancestor wanted to see the coronation already.

Suddenly, clamors and loud footsteps could be heard outside.

An old man came in and lowered his head: “Ancestors, Princesses, the cultivators from the other domains have heard about the matter today.
It is a chaotic mess outside.
What should we do?”

Today was a bad day indeed, internal chaos even before external enemies.

“I will talk to them.” Liu Suzi bit her lower lip and walked outside.

“Zi’er.” Sixth Ancestor wanted to follow her.

However, Feiyun started walking and cupped his fist: “Ancestors, continue your discussion.
Leave it to me.”

Sixth Ancestor sighed and sat back down.

Cultivators from the other domains gathered outside.
The crowd numbered several tens of thousands including young geniuses and old lords.

They heard how Liu Suzi had offended the Azure Faction and became worried.
Some have gathered their things in order to leave Sacred Court.

Everyone worried for their own well-being, resulting in this chaos.

“I have families and clan members, I can’t afford to offend Azure, please let me leave, Seventh Princess.”

“It’s not that we want to escape when things are bad, the enemies are just too strong, this is suicidal.”

“Seventh Princess, there is nothing we can do this time.”

Liu Suzi clenched her fists while staring at the crowd.
Her prideful expression turned into loneliness.

“All of you enjoyed the support of Crimson to get to this point, now you want to run at the first sign of trouble, how pathetic.” She said.

“That’s the only way to survive in the cultivation world.” Someone whispered.

An old man from an immemorial clan said: “Seventh Princess, we are not afraid of death but you know about Azure’s style.
We do not want our clans dragged down with us.”

“I, Mo Hen, am willing to die for you in battle, Seventh Princess.
I am nothing but my clan…” Mo Hen said.

“No need to say more, if you want to leave, leave.” She felt her eyes tearing up while staring at the falling snowflakes.
This was the first time she felt so helpless.

Feiyun came over and gently tapped her shoulder.

She turned back and stared at him: “Wretched half-demon, don’t touch me with your dirty hand.”

He hurriedly let go and chuckled: “No need to be sad, there is a solution to everything.”

“There is no solution here.” She looked miserable.

“What if someone kills the eighth prince?” Feiyun shook his head.

“No one dares to do it in Sacred Court.”

“No, there is one.”

“You?” She stared at him in disbelief.

He shook his head again: “I’m talking about Aquamoon Saintess.
Azure Faction might be the lord here but I doubt their clan master wants to provoke Shui Yueting.
If the saintess kills the eighth prince, would their clan do anything about it?”
