Chapter 908: Chapter 858: Life Simulation – This Tavern is Mine
In the eyes of the Moon Temple Master, this Seventh Prince was indeed high-ranking, but his power was not top-tier. At least within this tavern, he could not block her own strike. The Moon Temple Master did not understand where the other party’s confidence came from, or whether he was foolish enough not to see the situation clearly.
Fools do not get to where they are today, in the view of the Moon Temple Master. Since the Seventh Prince was not a fool, what exactly did he rely on?
Pei Xuanjing exuded such confidence that it left the Moon Temple Master somewhat puzzled, speculating whether Martial Artists of the Twelve-Floor Tower with the same level of Martial Arts were secretly protecting him, or something else—this all remained unknown.
However, there was no denying that seeing such confidence from the other party made it difficult for the Moon Temple Master to grasp the situation.
She said softly, “This Dahong is His Majesty’s domain, and our Sun and Moon Temple has received His Majesty’s promise to establish branches anywhere in Dahong. While this place is indeed Your Highness’ fief, it is also the territory of Dahong. Are you saying that you do not recognize the imperial edicts, Your Highness?”
Finally, the moment had come to reveal the true purpose of her visit.
...
The sudden arrival of the Moon Temple Master in Pei Xuanjing’s fief was to probe Pei Xuanjing’s stance and to see what the Seventh Prince, who had suddenly stopped hiding his power and instead chose to reveal his forces at this time, was plotting.
After all, under normal circumstances, if he truly had grand ambitions, at this juncture—when the Qingyun Path alliances were at war with their Star Moon Temple and the imperial court—he could have observed the chaos from a safe distance, waiting for everything to settle before taking action, or he could have feigned agreement with the Qingyun Path alliances.
