Doomsday Summoning Frenzy

"Actually keeping some trump cards is a very wise choice. When I saw you, I was reminded of my younger days—back then, I was young and reckless, eager to flaunt what I had as soon as I got it. Ah, I paid quite a price for that... Looking back, it's actually quite amusing," the sovereign leisurely recounted his past...

This sudden change was so abrupt that Wen Yu was already prepared for a swift execution, but unexpectedly, the sovereign started narrating his life experiences like an elder.

What on earth is this old monster thinking...

Wen Yu silently complained but was self-aware enough to remain quiet and listen. It wasn't until about half an hour later that the sovereign finally stopped his loquaciousness and turned to Tang Haofei.

"This trip to the Demon Realm hasn't gone very smoothly, has it?"

"Uh..."

The three of them were taken aback.

It was clear from the sovereign’s attitude—Wen Yu's matter had already been brushed aside...

That's right, the sovereign chose to overlook it; he didn’t want to pursue accountability or delve into it, simply passing it over with a stroke of his hand.

The three were momentarily stunned, but fortunately, old Tang reacted quickly.

"The process was rather unfavorable, but the outcome is still acceptable."

"Wait a moment, your highness..."

Tang Haofei had just finished speaking when Bai, seated to the sovereign's right, immediately chimed in. He squinted at Wen Yu and then said to the sovereign, "Wen Yu has deceived you and others; aren't you going to do something about it?"

"What do you mean by that?"

Before the sovereign could respond, Wen Yu spoke first. He glared at Bai, slowly narrowing his eyes, with a cold light of malice seeping through the slits.

The sovereign had already glossed over this matter. Why was Bai bringing it up now? Did he want me to lose a clone?

"My point is that this brat is being dishonest, hiding seven clones. Who knows what he's plotting? Your highness, if you don't take some action, it could lead to discontent among the people..."

"You're quite the good dog, aren't you?"

Wen Yu laughed in anger, staring at Bai's obsequious face, unable to fathom his intentions!

Damn, this time it's a real mess!

This annoying instigator is dead set on making trouble for me!

"Oh? What do you mean by that?"

The sovereign seemed unfazed by the "mutual harm" between Wen Yu and Bai; he merely squinted at Beijing, grinning as he looked at Bai.

Until Bai spoke again.

"Your highness, think about it. Wen Yu has deceived you and others, hiding his strength. He must have ulterior motives for doing this. If you don't handle it, who knows what trouble he might cause in the future... Moreover, this incident has set a precedent; if you ignore it, others might get the wrong idea."

"This matter is significant, so I hope you consider it carefully, my lord."

Bai presented himself like a loyal dog, nearly making Wen Yu sick. Before the sovereign could say anything, Wen Yu directly grabbed his teacup and hurled it at Bai.

"Damn you, you piece of trash! If I don't die this time, I'm going to take you down!"

Wen Yu was furious and began to curse, while Bai, even drenched in tea, remained motionless. He bent slightly, bowing respectfully, quietly watching the sovereign, waiting for his reaction...

What reaction could the sovereign have?

He glanced at the cursing Wen Yu, then at the indifferent Tang Haofei, and finally at Bai, before bursting into laughter.

"You all are really interesting..."

The sovereign found it amusing, while Wen Yu's anger only increased...

This is definitely not a trade!

That's right, Bai threw this curveball, and Wen Yu had not anticipated it at all!

The sovereign, "in a generous mood," glossed over this matter, and Wen Yu thought everything was settled. Little did he know Bai had pulled a fast one on him!

"What do you think should be done?"

The sovereign leisurely shifted the topic to Bai.

Bai immediately straightened up and slowly said, "Since you have decided to let Wen Yu off the hook, I naturally can't advocate for anything like 'punish him to warn others,' but a minor punishment is necessary. Given Wen Yu's current identity, status, and influence, I believe a certain punishment would be suitable."
