Chapter 1275: Unrivaled in the Same Realm
"You..." Cang Xue’s face turned deathly pale, Long Xuan’s words didn’t seem like mockery, it was clear that he genuinely didn’t know who she was, and this only infuriated Cang Xue even more.
Her strength was indeed the weakest among the Twelve Holy Emissaries, but she was still one of the Twelve Saint Envoys of the Demon Slayer Department; who in the Capital City didn’t recognize her?
"A mere jumping clown, unimportant."
Ye Qingci’s interjection made Cang Xue’s rage reach its peak, and unable to contain herself any longer, she produced a glittering golden token and said, "You may not take me seriously, but surely you recognize this token!"
The exquisitely edged golden token flowed with Spiritual Energy, and engraved in seal script at its center was a large ’Chen’ character.
"Imperial Concubine Chen’s decree states that the matter of Su Chengyu killing Long Li inherently bears no right or wrong, and if the Long family wishes to seek an explanation, then let the matter rest."
This statement, which seemed to be speaking up for Su Chengyu, caused both Ye Qingci and Su Chengyu to frown, sensing an ill omen.
Sure enough, Cang Xue continued, "However, Her Highness Consort Chen also said, if the Long family holds onto family sentiments and desires a fight to the death, she has no reason to intervene."
"Isn’t Her Highness Consort Chen being a bit too domineering?"
An old steward from the Long family frowned and spoke out. He was well aware of how much effort the family had invested to have Young Master Long Xuan take action.
But the precondition for Long Xuan’s involvement was that he wouldn’t kill Su Chengyu; this the old steward knew for certain.
