With this person's demeanor, he would surely provoke the displeasure of your excellency, the respectable lady. However, given her status, she would not nitpick with this fellow to avoid tarnishing her own reputation.
At that time, whoever could uphold the dignity of the respectable ladies would achieve great merit and surely win the favor of your excellency.
Thinking of this, Elder Mo, the Dark Night Heir, and others present all had shining eyes.
What a clever move.
At this moment, everyone looked at the Qilin Crown Prince with admiration.
This two-birds-with-one-stone strategy was not something just anyone could come up with. Despite being filled with rage over his brother's murder, the Qilin Crown Prince managed to restrain his anger and think of this solution.
He was able to punish the adversary while also impressing Lady Sikong; this was truly not something an ordinary person could conceive.
This young man is extraordinary, the Qilin heir.
The gazes of the crowd toward the Qilin Crown Prince changed.
Many powerful figures had previously respected him merely due to his status, but at this moment, they were thoroughly captivated by him.
"Brilliant, truly brilliant. Compared to the Qilin Crown Prince, I am just trash," the Dark Night Heir sighed, feeling inferior.
He glanced at Qin Chen, who was calm at the cliff, knowing that with that young man's temper, he would surely clash with Lady Sikong and provoke her anger.
If the Qilin Crown Prince could take down such an arrogant person, it would not only earn him Lady Sikong's goodwill but also elevate his standing within the Sikong Sacred Ground.
"What a great merit this would be; it should rightfully belong to the crown prince," the Dark Night Heir exclaimed suddenly, eager to flatter.
"Hehe, if Brother Mingye also wishes to achieve merit, this prince can grant you this opportunity," the Qilin Crown Prince smiled.
"No, this merit rightfully belongs to the crown prince; how could I possibly..." The Dark Night Heir hurriedly declined.
"It’s no trouble," the Qilin Crown Prince said with a smile. "As long as you are by my side, if you act on behalf of the respectable lady, it would be equivalent to me taking action. You understand this principle, don't you? For such a small character, does this prince need to act personally? At that time, if you gain great merit, you can establish a connection with the Sikong Sacred Ground. Don't forget this opportunity I have given you."
"This..." The Dark Night Heir understood; the Qilin Crown Prince really wanted to give him the chance.
Thinking about it, the Qilin Crown Prince was indeed someone who aimed to marry Lady Sikong. If he personally acted in front of her, it would lower his status. By letting the Dark Night Heir act, he could please Lady Sikong without losing face.
Of course, he had to closely follow the crown prince, making Lady Sikong regard him as the Qilin Crown Prince's person; only then would it work.
"Thank you, crown prince," the Dark Night Heir said excitedly, clasping his fists. "Your great kindness and virtue, I will never forget. In the future, my Mingye family will take the crown prince as our leader; whatever the crown prince commands, we will not decline."
"Hahaha, you’re very good," the Qilin Crown Prince laughed, patting the Dark Night Heir's shoulder with appreciation.
Meanwhile, Qin Chen was completely absorbed in his calculations, paying no attention to the conversation beside him. Although the Dark Ancestor Land before him was still shrouded in dark mist, it was becoming clearer in his view.
At this moment...
With a buzzing sound, a sudden wave emanated from the distant void, causing everyone to look up.
They saw countless brilliant laws rising in the endless sky, and amidst those endless laws, a figure resembling a goddess slowly emerged, approaching step by step.
With each step she took, the heavens and earth bowed at her feet, and even the dark mist of the Dark Ancestor Land seemed to part slightly, revealing radiant light, as if she had transformed into a blazing sun, illuminating everyone.
