Chapter 440: See-through

A freezing atmosphere immediately descended upon the big hall.

The second prince, Luan Qi, and all the other heirs were shocked to witness such a scene. Even the rest of the top ten rankers, such as Drunk Guest or Seventh Mei Yu, each and every one of them was bewildered.

Not for a moment did they consider Xue Ying would have such a violent temper that he would immediately resort to violence against General Ying.

This Dong Bo, he was so humble and polite before that it would have been impossible to guess he would have such backbone. Despite my warnings about Ying’s background, he didn’t hesitate to hit him. It would seem Dong Bo might have a good temperament, but he’s not the sort of person you can recklessly insult, the second prince thought to himself, back on his high seat. He had clearly witnessed everything Xue Ying had done to General Ying.

The second prince gained a much clearer understanding of Xue Ying’s temperament from his previous actions. In the future, once Xue Ying reached a high standing in the Calm Sea Prefecture, the prince would find it much easier to deal with him being already aware of the other party’s temperament.

“You, you…” The silver-robed General Ying turned livid. Over the many years, had anyone ever dared to hit him before?

“Your mouth was too dirty, so I decided to thrash it about a little. I won’t pursue this matter any further, so just let it end like this, okay?” Xue Ying was still sitting calmly at his table. “General Ying, I hope you now understand that not everyone will sit still and take it while your provoke them through your actions.”

By this point, General Ying was trembling in fury.

Truthfully, his True Deity Heart was very close to crumbling, and he was already somewhat crazy. In the end, Xue Ying’s slaps and his following sermon finally took him over the brink.

“What are the two of you doing just standing around?” General Ying turned his head to look at the gray-robed old man and another male attendant of his and shouted, “Go on and catch him for me! Catch that damned couple; I want to show them the consequences of offending me!”

“You’re telling us to act against him?” The grey-robed old man and the other male attendant were clearly hesitant.

The old man was a stage one World Deity, while the male attendant was only a peak Deity.

“Not only is he a participant in the Myriad Flower Feast, he actually took the top spot in the ranking battle…” The grey-robed old man was unsure how to proceed. His Majesty had already sent orders down to stop anyone from disrupting the Myriad Flower Feast.

“You piece of trash! I just ordered you to catch him, not kill him! What I told you to do was catch both of them. I may not be allowed to kill him, but his wife holds no official rank, nor did she participate in the Myriad Flower Feast. Go, go! You’ve already received your orders!” the silver-robed General Ying hollered.

Knowing that his young master had finally turned completely mad, the grey-robed old man didn’t dare to disobey him. He turned his head to look at Xue Ying.

Back in his seat right in front of General Ying’s entourage, Xue Ying calmly took another bottle of good wine and pour some for him. Only then did he spare a glance in their direction. This calm gesture sprouted a seed of admiration in the grey-robed old man heart. I have no choice but to move against him. The general won’t spare me if I hesitate any further.’

The old man immediately unleashed his deity domain, and then appeared before Xue Ying with a single step.

Watching this scene from his seat high above, the second prince creased his brows into a frown. An old man with a tall and skinny figure that served him was also coldly looking down on them when, all of a sudden, the palace hall covered by another, more powerful domain, in its entirety. This new domain sent even space itself in that area to the brink of collapse, and some faint particles could be seen flowing lazily all around it. Everyone could tell from a glance that the particles contained great power.

The grey-robed old man felt himself be bound. He would have likely been able to break free, but he was also well aware of the strength difference between him and the caster of that domain, so he could only look up towards the second prince.

“Lord Cang.” The old man turned his vision towards the man to the second prince’s side. That person named Can Chun was the second prince’s butler. He was of the younger generation from Cang Shi Clan, a clan more powerful than the Long Shi Clan itself, since it had a powerful existence as their ancestor. Cang Chun had received great favor from Calm Sea Prefecture Master, having expressed his desire to forever serve Long Shi Clan even before becoming a third stage World Deity. The Prefecture Master therefore sent him to serve his second son instead.
