After they left the Heavenly Cloud Chambers, Qu Wen Hao stood in his spot and stared at Jun Xie for a while, looking like he wanted to say something but did not say much in the end and left.
Lin Que left with a face of despair and the other Clan Chiefs and Deputy Clan Chiefs said their goodbyes and left as well.
Jun Xie went back with Xiong Ba and Qing Yu. Halfway there, it was already late at night and only the bright red lanterns were still lit in the Thousand Beast City, the streets completely empty.
"Young Master Jun, how did you become the Fire Country's Emperor?" Xiong Ba could not hold it in any longer and he asked Jun Xie in a whisper.
He clearly remembered that Jun Xie was just a disciple of the Zephyr Academy and although he had made a fool out of the Fire Country's Emperor, he had not taken the opportunity to become the Emperor. According to Qu Ling Yue, didn't Jun Xie place the Fire Country's throne on Crown Prince Lei Chen's head?
"I don't know." Jun Xie answered honestly.
Xiong Ba's face was filled with surprise.
"I know as much as you do." Jun Xie said calmly. She had come to the Thousand Beast City together with Xiong Ba and the others and after they left, what Lei Chen and the others did, she did not know.
But judging from Qu Xin Rui's attitude, she must have looked into her own affairs and the matter of the Emperor's throne should have been confirmed.
If not for the fact that Qu Xin Rui's source of information had gone awry, it must have been the Fire Country that had stirred up some trouble after she left.
When Lei Chen had insisted on Jun Xie ascending to the throne, Jun Xie had always avoided the topic and diverted his attention away. She had not even informed him before she had quickly followed Xiong Ba and the others to the Thousand Beast City. She had thought that she would be able to wash her hands clean of the Fire Country's affairs but from the looks of it now, things did not seem to be developing in the direction she had hoped.
Having become the Fire Country's Emperor out of nowhere, Jun Xie could not bring herself to smile at all.
Xiong Ba and Qing Yu exchanged a glance. Knowing that Jun Xie was not someone who would lie easily, they believed him.
"Looking at Qu Xin Rui, she is trying to win you over. If I'm not wrong, she would want to use the Fire Country's power to help her continue to investigate that map." Xiong Ba said.
"But from what she said, she seems to want to use the power of the Purple Spirit to exchange with you. But ….. can the Purple Spirit be bestowed by others?" That was a point that Xiong Ba could not understand. If Qu Xin Rui had the ability to help others attain the Purple Spirit, wouldn't that make her Heaven defying?
Jun Wu Xie did not say a word. Xiong Ba and the others were in the Lower Realm and they would naturally not know that the Middle Realm had a method to temporarily raise a person's spirit power. But the method that Qu Xin Rui had used to win her over, was the same method that the owner of the ring had been won over.
They were all using the might of the Purple Spirit to lure people in.
Although Jun Wu Xie had never met that person before, but she had already regarded that person as her Master. For a disciple to stand in the same position as her Master, to encounter the same temptation, it must really be fate.
"Young Master Jun, you wouldn't be ….. really thinking of working together with Qu Xin Rui right?" Xiong Ba looked at Jun Xie a little worriedly. It wasn't that he did not trust Jun Xie's character, but the bait that Qu Xin Rui had thrown out this time was just too alluring.
Whatever Jun Xie asked for, Qu Xin Rui would be able to give it to him, and even help him attain the Purple Spirit. But the Thousand Beast City, besides that map, there was nothing else they could give Jun Xie. Xiong Ba could not help but worry.
"I don't need it." Jun Wu Xie said.
