"There's definitely a misunderstanding here." Shangguan Xi'er held Feng Shaoyu's face and said, "You know that although Feng Yulei is the son of those commoners, he is also your son. How could I harm your people?"

"I believe you, but that's all it is, just belief. What I saw with my own eyes cannot be wrong. My son Feng Yulei was killed by the people from your Piao Miao Palace and the Demon Tribe." Feng Shaoyu said coldly.

"Perhaps it's just because I didn’t inform my subordinates of our relationship, which led to them mistakenly killing Feng Yulei. This definitely must be a misunderstanding." Shangguan Xi'er explained. "It is absolutely not a misunderstanding." Feng Shaoyu shook his head, his gaze growing even colder. He said chillingly, "The Golden Body Martial Emperor who escaped from the Ancient Yu Realm told me that the actions against Feng Yulei were merely incidental; their true target is me, to deal with the Xuanyuan Empire. The goal is very clear, and it is definitely not a misunderstanding."

The Golden Body Martial Emperor had informed him of everything that occurred in the Ancient Yu Realm, making Feng Shaoyu increasingly feel that there was something wrong.

The Golden Body Martial Emperor would never betray the Xuanyuan Empire; this point had been thoroughly verified by Feng Shaoyu. Even with his cautious attitude, he had conducted a light soul search on the Golden Body Martial Emperor and naturally knew that the Golden Body Martial Emperor had not deceived him.

In this case, what the Golden Body Martial Emperor said about the people from Piao Miao Palace wanting to kill him, Feng Shaoyu, must be true.

How could this not make Feng Shaoyu feel alert?

Although for the past three hundred years the Xuanyuan Empire and Piao Miao Palace had been at odds and were extremely hostile, due to his secret relationship with Shangguan Xi'er, there had not been many large-scale conflicts between the two sides; at most, there were only some minor disputes.

But now, in the Ancient Yu Realm, the strong from Piao Miao Palace and the Demon Tribe had explicitly targeted him, Feng Shaoyu. There must be a reason for this.

"Shaoyu, do you still not trust me?" Shangguan Xi'er said, a bit indignant, her voice impatient. "Xi'er, it's not that I don't trust you; I don't trust those alien races." Feng Shaoyu held her hand, looking into Shangguan Xi'er's eyes, and said solemnly, "Your heart, I've known for three hundred years, but that group of alien races harbors ill intentions. Their collaboration with Piao Miao Palace is merely to use you. Perhaps they know you are hard to control and are trying to sow discord between us. You must be on guard."

"I have my own ideas regarding this matter, and you need not interfere." Shangguan Xi'er said coldly, losing patience.

Feng Shaoyu's expression turned ugly. "Are you really willing to treat me this way for those alien races?"

"Shaoyu, I’ve already said there must be a misunderstanding. Why won’t you believe me?" Shangguan Xi'er waved her sleeve with force, her impatience evident. "I don’t not believe you; I believe you are surely unaware, but that doesn’t mean it wasn't orchestrated by those alien races. Can you guarantee that you know everything they have done?" Feng Shaoyu was also angry. Why wouldn’t Shangguan Xi'er trust him? Did those alien races deserve more trust than him? "Alright, no need to say more." Shangguan Xi'er said irritably, but seeing Feng Shaoyu's gloomy expression, she hurriedly comforted him, "Then I promise you, is that enough? I will be careful and will never let them use me. Moreover, you know that our Tianwu Continent is not as simple as outsiders think. To achieve that goal, we must rely on the hands of those Demon Tribe members. You knew that from the beginning. It's unfortunate that when Qin Chen, that waste, died, he brought everything he had from the Divine Forbidden Land into the Death Canyon; otherwise, we wouldn’t have to go through so much trouble." Shangguan Xi'er revealed a fierce expression. "The Divine Forbidden Land is fraught with danger. With our current strength, it is difficult to enter. Furthermore, though we control many high-ranking forces now, it is extremely hard to find a genius like Qin Chen who possesses various capabilities. Thus, we can only proceed slowly."
