104 Does She Deserve It too?

How could Gu Mingzhu not understand the meaning behind Chu Liuyue’s words? The latter was obviously not taking her seriously!

She laughed with exasperation. “Chu Liuyue, are you afraid to do it?”

Chu Liuyue shrugged her shoulders. “Think what you want.”

Gu Mingzhu was suddenly at a loss for words. She didn’t expect Chu Liuyue to be immune against her provocations! She raised her voice in defiance. “I’ll add another, the Qing Mu Xuan formation! Are you in or not?”

The room was in an uproar.

Qing Mu Xuan formation was a formation just as good as the Long Xian Formation!

In order to get Chu Liuyue to compete with her, Gu Mingzhu was willing to place two fifth-level Xuan formations as a reward! She was putting a lot at stake!

Smirking, Gu Mingzhu looked at Chu Liuyue. “It can easily take one a few hours to unravel a Xuan formation. Sometimes, it’s even impossible to crack it in a day. Chu Liuyue came late because of her own reasons. Can I be blamed for that? Besides, she came in second during the assessment. Surely she wouldn’t be so calculative with the time. Isn’t that so, Chu Liuyue?”

Chu Liuyue waved her hand without a care. “Have it your way.”

Gu Mingzhu was annoyed again by her casual behavior. “Begin!” With that, she lowered her head and focused on the Xuan formation that she had been working on. This time, I have to win!

Chu Liuyue withdrew her gaze and looked steadily at Si Ting.

It made Si Ting feel nervous for some reason.

The corners of Chu Liuyue’s lips curled up. Si Ting is obviously the cause of this trouble. Nevertheless, Si Ting has helped me before. It won’t be very nice of me to hold a grudge against him now.

Si Ting was the first to break eye contact.

Chu Liuyue raised a brow but soon directed her attention to her Xuan formation.

“I merely think…”

“I already told you the last time not to have any ideas about Zhen Bao Pavilion, but it seems like you didn’t listen at all.” Emperor Jiawen looked exhausted when he opened his eyes. He said slowly, “Are you honestly asking for an investigation for Zhen Zhen’s sake or… for your own?”

“Father!” Rong Jin was stupefied. Emperor Jiawen’s eyes suddenly resembled ghostly fire, and Rong Jin was scared witless. “Father, please! I have no selfish motives!”

Emperor Jiawen remained unmoved. He knew everything about Rong Jin, including what he had in mind and his plans.

Father and son—one seated and the other on his knees—engaged in a confrontation.

The atmosphere in the study became cold and tense.

After a long time, Rong Jin finally hung his head low, dejected. “Father, I just want an answer! What’s the big deal about Zhen Bao Pavilion that even you, the emperor, are so protective of them? I spent a lot of effort on that hunting ground, but they snatched it out of my hands in the blink of an eye! I simply can’t reconcile with this fact!”

“You, the Crown Prince, are behaving like this because of a silly hunting ground? I think you’re more concerned about your ego and reputation as the Crown Prince, aren’t you?”
