In the study room of the palace in Xianyang City.
After getting the signal to stand up, Prince Lanling only dared to lift his head to look at Emperor Qin. He then saw Yu Haoran, who had his back facing him.
"May I ask if you are Yu Haoran, the Deputy Gate Master of the Hundred Chi Gate?" Although he could only see Lin Huang's back, the more he looked at him, the more familiar he felt. Prince Lanling couldn't help but ask.
Since Lin Huang had taken the initiative to ask, he had to respond. Therefore, Yu Haoran stood up and greeted him with cupped fists.
"Greetings, Prince Lanling, from Yu Haoran!"
"It's really you!" Prince Lanling shouted in surprise when he saw Yu Haoran turn around.
Ever since Prince Lanling had reached an agreement with the Single-horned Green Ox to find the murderer and returned to Lanling City, he had sent people to look for Yu Haoran.
Firstly, he wanted to repay Lin Huang for saving his life. Secondly, he wanted to explain to him about He Yuru.
Unfortunately, Yu Haoran had left Lanling City in advance. Not only did his plan fall through, but he also had to continue keeping He Yuru by his side. This made him feel rather guilty and depressed.
Now that he had finally found Yu Haoran, Prince Lanling wanted to explain everything to him immediately so that he could take He Yuru away from him as soon as possible.
However, when he saw Emperor Qin's gloomy face behind the study table, he could only suppress his urge to explain temporarily. Then, he spoke to Emperor Qin respectfully.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty. Auspicious sign from the heavens!"
"What's auspicious sign?" Emperor Qin asked calmly.
"Long live Your Majesty. Auspicious sign is the Single-horned Green Ox!" Prince Lanling said excitedly.
Emperor Qin, who was initially calm, was slightly shocked when he heard the Single-horned Green Ox. He couldn't help but look at Yu Haoran.
Facing Emperor Qin's gaze, Yu Haoran shrugged helplessly.
After all, he wanted to tell Emperor Qin in advance about the gift that Prince Lanling brought to the audience this time. However, he kept asking about his relationship problems, so he didn't have the time to remind him.
"Where is the Unihorn Azure Bull right now?" Yu Haoran's helpless expression made Emperor Qin realize that he had lost his composure. He could only withdraw his gaze and ask.
"The auspicious beast, the Single-Horned Blue Ox-Lion, is currently waiting outside the palace!"
Speaking of the Single-horned Green Bull, King Lanling couldn't help but glance at Yu Haoran. That was because He Ruyu was currently standing beside the Unihorn Azure Ox.
"Haoran, are you interested in accompanying me to take a look at this auspicious beast?" Emperor Qin's interest was piqued when he heard that the Single-Horned Green Bull Centipede was waiting at the palace gates.
After all, after officially forming an alliance with the Hundred Chi Gate, Emperor Qin's Kingdom would officially start conquering the world.
If he could obtain the approval of the auspicious beast, the Single-Horned Green Bull Centipede, whether it was increasing his reputation or the morale of his soldiers, it would be an unimaginable help.
After getting up, Emperor Qin couldn't help but invite Yu Haoran and Princess Ling Fei's marriage contract. He was now considered the closest person to him.
"Alright!" Yu Haoran replied helplessly.
Originally, when Prince Lanling mentioned the Single-Horned Green Bull Centipede, he intentionally glanced at Yu Haoran. Yu Haoran knew that He Ruyu would definitely be by the Single-Horned Green Bull Centipede's side.
According to his wishes, he didn't want to see He Ruyu again, let alone have any entanglements with her. However, when he recalled how Emperor Qin had shown disdain for He Ruyu when he was talking about his betrayal, he was worried that Emperor Qin, who knew He Ruyu's true identity, would do something to hurt her.
Therefore, he could only agree to go with them.
"Steward Jiang, please lead the way!" Emperor Qin, who was in a good mood, didn't notice the helplessness in Yu Haoran's reply and instructed Steward Jiang.
Steward Jiang completely ignored Yu Haoran and bowed respectfully to Emperor Qin and Prince Lanling as he said, "Your Majesty, Prince Lanling, this way please!"
However, Yu Haoran, who had been thinking about how to face He Ruyu, didn't notice Steward Jiang's deliberate disregard just now.
Under Steward Jiang's lead, the group arrived outside the palace under the protection of hundreds of Martial Emperors and Martial Saints.
Although the Single-Horned Blue Ox's figure, shape, and aura were very eye-catching, the first thing that Yu Haoran saw was He Ruyu, who was standing alone beside the Single-Horned Blue Ox. She was wearing the silk veil that he had personally given her.
"Not bad. It's indeed the auspicious beast, the Single-Horned Blue Ox that symbolizes the prosperity of martial arts and the revival of all living things!" Emperor Qin couldn't help but praise when he saw the strange beast that was 90% similar to the Blue Ox but had an additional white horn on its forehead.
"Your Majesty, let me introduce it to you!" Prince Lanling took a few steps forward and said respectfully.
"No need!" Emperor Qin shook his head and waved his hand, indicating that the group didn't need to follow him. Then, he walked towards the Single-Horned Blue Ox alone.
"Brother Yu, I would like to explain to you!" While Emperor Qin was talking to the Single-Horned Blue Ox alone, Prince Lanling walked to Yu Haoran and whispered to him.
However, Yu Haoran shook his head and said, "Prince Lanling, since it has happened, what we need to do is to accept it."
At this point, Yu Haoran turned his head and looked directly at the pair of eyes under the Asura mask. His tone was solemn as he warned.
"Prince Lanling, Ruyu's background is very pitiful. She has suffered a lot and suffered a lot. It's not something that a noble with a superior background like you can imagine."
"So, I hope you can take good care of Ruyu. Don't let her suffer a little, don't let her suffer a little, and don't let her be hurt at all."
"Brother Yu, you've really misunderstood me. Miss Ruyu and I are innocent. Moreover, she and I …!"
"Roar …!"
Hearing Yu Haoran's words, Prince Lanling hurriedly explained. However, before he could finish his explanation, he was interrupted by the Single-Horned Blue Ox's howl.
Looking up, Prince Lanling saw that Emperor Qin was sitting on the Single-Horned Blue Ox's back. The Single-Horned Blue Ox did not resist, which meant that the Single-Horned Blue Ox had officially recognized Emperor Qin.
"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"
Seeing that Emperor Qin was recognized by the Single-Horned Blue Ox, Manager Jiang, the guards protecting Emperor Qin, and the soldiers guarding the city gate all knelt down and cheered at the same time. Prince Lanling had to stop explaining to Yu Haoran and kneel down with the rest.
The howl of the Single-Horned Blue Ox and the cheers of the crowd woke He Ruyu up from her thoughts. She couldn't help but look up.
Then, she saw that Yu Haoran was the only one who didn't kneel down. She was pleasantly surprised.
However, when she saw the coldness in Yu Haoran's eyes as he looked at her, the surprise in her eyes was instantly replaced by regret and sadness.
