1828 Let’s Enjoy the Fireworks (1/2)

Luo Qiongcang was too embarrassed to look at Chen Xiaobei directly in the eyes.

He had wrongly accused him of working with the enemy and even made it his mission to kill the young man.

Even then, Chen Xiaobei was merciful towards Luo Qiongcang.

The discrepancy between facts that were presented to him and his experience with Chen Xiaobei made him realize how wrong he had been. Before the watchful eyes of his people, the emperor apologized to Chen Xiaobei and admitted his fault even though it was taboo for an emperor to acknowledge his mistake in public.

This showed that Luo Qiongcang now saw Chen Xiaobei in a whole new light!

The people of Saint Duke appeared to be shocked and delighted at all of this.

Shocked because Chen Xiaobei's Three-Star Earth-God grade black saber was beyond whatever the Nine Zones could comprehend!

Delighted, because Chen Xiaobei was not the Tenshou spy they thought he was!

He had not come to bring destruction to Saint Duke but to marry Luo Puti, the woman that he truly loved!

They understood that having this powerful elite as their fuma would greatly benefit their starfield! He might even save them from destruction!

All of a sudden, the Tenshou mole had become Saint Duke's deliverer!

The royalties and officials were suddenly swept away with awe and reverence for him.

The eyes that had looked upon Chen Xiaobei with hatred and animosity were substituted by respect, honor and even adoration!

This was a world where the strongest ruled, where people only worshipped the powerful!

To have such a godlike elite on their side made them feel extremely privileged!

...

At that instant, everyone's attitude, including the emperor's, had taken a 180-degree turn towards Chen Xiaobei!

That was the power of truth!

With all the facts laid out before them, all of the hearsay, slander, and misunderstanding were washed away like a shack after a storm.

Nonetheless, there was one person who saw differently. ”Luo Qiongcang! You better think carefully!” Helian Tulong shouted in anger, the blood in his mouth sputtering out. ”My family has Three-Star Earth-God Instruments too! And we don't just have one! If you don't kill Chen Zhufeng, I will destroy Saint Duke!”

Chen Xiaobei waved the black saber at him. ”You really are tired of living, aren't you? How are you going to destroy Saint Duke when you're dead?”

”I don't want my life!” Helian Tulong's spat. ”I'm a useless handicap without my cultivation! I'm more than happy to get rid of this worthless life, but I must have and the entire Saint Duke buried with me!”

Murmurs of alarm rippled through the crowd.

But Chen Xiaobei was phlegmatic. ”Alright. Then why don't you give it a try. Let's see if the Helian family or Saint Duke is destroyed first!”
