Chapter 2089 - 2089 Good As Well


2089 Good As Well


“What’s going on with the clan leader’s side?” asked Rong Xiu in a straightforward manner.


36 Respected Elder Ming cupped his fists. “Your Highness, the clan leader hasn’t actually been doing well. Ever since he went into a coma, his force has been depleting. We used all sorts of methods…”


He sighed. “Besides, the clan leader has been depressed and upset. He hasn’t shown any signs of wanting to willingly wake up. We tried our best, but we couldn’t do anything…”


The hall suddenly became much more silent.

!!

Chu Liuyue raised her eyebrows slightly. This sounds interesting. There is nothing much to say about him being poisoned and falling into a coma, but being depressed and upset…


One knew the reason without thinking.


Back in Fangzhou City, the incident of Baili Chun thinking Jiang Zhiyuan was part of his bloodline had spread far and wide. Any man would not be able to accept such a situation, let alone someone like Baili Chun.


He had been glorious his entire life—elegant and pristine. He had always been seen as high and mighty, so how could he allow himself to be humiliated?


Even if n.o.body took action against him, he would not want to come out and see others.


Previously, everyone did not mention it. Now that 36 Respected Elder Ming brought it up, even though it was discreet, everyone knew what was going on.


Actually, they found it humiliating as well!


Rong Xiu knitted his brows slightly, as if he felt regretful. “Previously, Yue’er and I accidentally found Black Demon Hole’s base. Originally, I wanted to force Mo s.h.i.+qian to hand over the antidote. Who knew he was so cunning and would rather sacrifice all of his subordinates in Black Demon Hole to help himself escape. If I managed to stop him then, perhaps the clan leader…”


The people in the hall looked shocked. “Such a thing happened?”


“That’s too dangerous! Luckily, His Highness and the Princess Consort are fine…”


“Yeah! The people from Black Demon Hole have always been cunning. It mustn’t have been easy for His Highness and the Princess Consort to come back safely. We really can’t ask for more…”


As this happened outside the G.o.d Residence Realm, the people inside the G.o.d Residence Realm did not know much.


As Mo s.h.i.+qian was on the run, Chu Liuyue and Rong Xiu did not spread the incident. Hence, even the Sky-Cloud Empire’s venerables did not know about this.


Now that they suddenly heard it, they were stunned.


Chu Liuyue silently glanced at the man beside him. Mm… I recall that Rong Xiu did not even talk about Baili Chun then…


36 Respected Elder Ming hurriedly asked, “Your Highness, Princess Consort, are you injured then?”


Rong Xiu’s expression was calm, and an extremely faint smile flashed across his lips. “Just small injuries. It’s worth it that we uprooted Black Demon Hole.”


The originally noisy hall fell into an eerie silence again.


Even 36 Respected Elder Ming was dazed momentarily. “W-what?”


“Speaking of which, this is really all thanks to Yue’er. If she didn’t help in time, we might not be able to escape unscathed.” As Rong Xiu spoke, he proudly glanced at Chu Liuyue.


Chu Liuyue sighed. “It’s a pity that Mo s.h.i.+qian still escaped…”


Everyone was in a mess. Do you know what you’re talking about?! That’s Black Demon Hole!


You nonchalantly said that you uprooted their base. Does your conscience not hurt at all?!


The crowd stared at the duo as if they were looking at monsters. These two people… are too perverted!


Some people secretly wiped their sweat and were very thankful that they weren’t foolish enough to offend the two of them.


Others were uneasy and anxious. Originally, they thought that it was shocking enough for her to invite the two ancient legendary fiend clan leaders to support her. They never thought that there would be a more outrageous matter!


They really didn’t know how His Highness chose such a heaven-defying princess consort!


Originally, him alone was enough to cause one to tremble. Now with another Chu Liuyue… It was simply suffocating for everyone else!


36 Respected Elder Ming’s gaze darted back and forth between the two of them. He stroked his beard and sighed. “Sigh, Your Highness, you have already done your best for the clan leader. It’s a pity that he’s a little unlucky… Now that he’s gone, Your Highness, don’t take it to heart. There are still many things that need your consideration…”


Rong Xiu nodded. “Of course. The clan leader had contributed a lot to the Sky-Cloud Empire before his death. Now that he’s gone, we have to give him an honorable burial. People from the 28 divisions, inform your subordinates. Everyone must be there to send the clan leader off for the last time.”


36 Respected Elder Ming asked hesitantly, “Your Highness, that is naturally fine, but… Does Fairy Water Mound have to do it?”


Speaking of Fairy Water Mound, the crowd’s expressions became exciting. That is the Jiang family’s territory! Even though Fairy Water Mound’s Jiang family head has changed, the matter still happened with them.


If they come, won’t the scene be very awkward? Baili Chun is dead, but they are still alive and need face!


Rong Xiu’s expression did not change. “Of course. A person dying is like a light going out. Whatever is in the past stays in the past.”


It was fine if he didn’t speak, but once he did, the atmosphere became awkward.


How could such a matter pa.s.s?


It was finally suppressed. If another scene occurs, how will the other aristocratic families look at them?


After a moment, a venerable spoke hesitantly. “Your Highness… why don’t you reconsider this? They had quite a few controversies with the clan leader when he was alive. Why don’t we just let him go in peace?”


With someone leading, the remaining people immediately supported him. “Yeah, Your Highness! Speaking of which, the clan leader died in Black Demon Hole’s hands. If this matter is spread far and wide, it won’t be good for our Sky-Cloud Empire’s and the clan leader’s reputation. Why don’t we be more discreet?”


“Yeah. If the clan leader’s spirit is in heaven, he would want us to do this too, right?”


“We can all understand how you feel, Your Highness. However, this matter has great implications. I hope Your Highness can reconsider…”



The crowd chimed in one after another and quickly reached a consensus; they all advised Rong Xiu to give up on the idea of giving Baili Chun a big burial.


Rong Xiu knitted his sharp brows slightly, as if he was hesitant.


36 Respected Elder Ming cupped his fists and bowed. “Your Highness, do consider more for the Sky-Cloud Empire and think of the big picture.”


After keeping quiet for a long time, Rong Xiu finally said, “Okay.”
