114 Fiend Tidal

Rong Jin was instantly relieved when he heard this. “Y-You can go to bed first! I’ll come back and see you another time!” Instead of waiting for Chu Xianmin to respond, he turned and strode out of the room.

“Your Highness…” In her panic, Chu Xianmin tried to catch up with him to explain.

However, Rong Jin turned back abruptly and said with a frown, “By the way, it’s better if you stay at home as much as possible instead of going out unnecessarily. You can still go to the academy, but your face… It would be good if you wear your veil!”

After saying that, he left in a hurry as if some beasts were chasing him. He felt his stomach churn whenever he thought of that horrifying face! It’s disgusting! It is a wonder I even thought she was beautiful just a few minutes ago!

Rong Jin vanished like the wind, leaving Chu Xianmin alone in the room. She stood there in a daze for a long time before erupting into a laugh filled with hostility and resentment!

…

Rong Jin strode out of Ting Feng Court as he asked Song Yuan, “What happened to make Father summon me so urgently at this hour?”

…

It was an extremely hot summer night.

Rong Jin was covered in sweat by the time he rushed to the Imperial Study. When he entered, he felt despair once he saw his father’s icy glare. “Father…”

Emperor Jiawen suddenly picked up the inkstone from the table and hurled it at Rong Jin!

Rong Jin dared not dodge. He took the blow and suffered a wound on his forehead. Blood began to flow like a river! He knew the situation was against him and immediately fell on his knees. “Father, if you want to teach me a lesson, I’ll gladly accept it. However, can you tell me why…”

“You know very well what you’ve done!” Emperor Jiawen was livid as he interrupted the Crown Prince.

This was the first time Rong Jin had seen his father like this. His heart continued to sink. What… the hell is going on?

“Rong Jin, you are already the Crown Prince! Is there a need for you to make a move against your own brother? Is his presence that intolerable for you?” Emperor Jiawen rebuked angrily.

Rong Jin came to his senses. He was terrified. Does Father know that I sent someone to spy on Rong Xiu?

In Emperor Jiawen’s eyes, Rong Jin’s changing face naturally made it look like he had admitted to his wrongdoings.

“Harming your own brother… You’ve really grown up!”

Rong Jin could not argue back and did not say a single word. Since Rong Jiu dared to lodge a complaint with Father, he must have solid evidence. If I denied it and the investigation continued, I would just cause trouble for myself. Besides, I can’t say that I was going for Rong Xiu. The consequences would be even worse!

After much thinking, Rong Jin could only clench his teeth and admit it. “I… know I’m wrong! I just wanted to test Rong Jiu’s abilities. I didn’t intend to kill him. Father, kindly rethink your decision! I was just too impulsive and made a huge mistake. Father, please punish me!”

Emperor Jiawen stared at him with a deadly gaze.

…

Cultivation time always passed very quickly.

In the blink of an eye, Chu Liuyue had already stayed in the academy for five days. In these few days, she had gradually familiarized herself with all the classes in the academy and had begun adjusting to life at the academy.
