“Oh?” Ji Fengyan raised her eyebrows. She gazed at that ruler. “Then do you think you will end up like that previous ruler?”

“So what? Even if I die, my son will take my place in protecting the kingdom. It doesn’t matter if I die!” That ruler spoke with pa.s.sion.

Ji Fengyan laughed and suddenly raised her hands to applaud that ruler.

“Firstly, I want to apologize to you.”

Ji Fengyan shook her head. “You misunderstand. I am not apologizing for my earlier words, but for my prior misconception of you all.”

It stunned the crowd.

You should know that most of your Grand Tutors are from the Divine Temple.”

At that instant, everyone’s faces darkened.

Yes, how could they have forgotten…
