Chapter 680 - 674: The Beautiful Princess (5 more)
However, asking the Seventh Princess to wait for a while was, to others, even more excessive than a direct refusal—it was an insult!!!
Atop the main platform, even the breath of the Xuanfeng Emperor had become somewhat unstable.
He stared at Su Chen intently, extremely dangerous and irritable, as if he were about to attack at any moment. Inside the great hall, an oppressive silence had fallen, and many Martial Cultivators were so frightened they didn’t dare to raise their heads.
When an emperor is angered, corpses burn for thousands of miles!
Almost all the Martial Cultivators were thinking, "This is someone who is asking for death by not knowing when to accept face given."
"Your Majesty, please hold back your anger for now," Consort Yun said with a smile, seated beside the Xuanfeng Emperor on the main platform.
"Why?" asked the Xuanfeng Emperor in a heavily laden tone. Though he had lowered his voice, it still carried a vast oppressive force.
"Why, out of all the talented men present, did our daughter only take a fancy to Su Chen?" Consort Yun smiled: "Don’t you think that Su Chen is very different? Others may not have heard, but you and I should have heard that it was the girl named Qin Li beside him who invited him first. According to convention, Xuan’er came afterwards."
"But she is my daughter, your daughter, a princess!" The Xuanfeng Emperor’s aura had receded somewhat, but the rage in his heart was still churning.
"That’s exactly where his excellence lies; his arrogance is ingrained in his bones. From his reprimand of the Sixth Prince, one can tell that he is so proud that he doesn’t reverence the Royal Family, and for this very reason, he didn’t just refuse Xuan’er," Consort Yun continued with a smile. "Such profound and inherent pride is very rare."
