In the Yan Country's Imperial City, the reigning Emperor sat in the Imperial Study, his face ashen as he stared at the black robed man kneeling before his table. His dark face was tinged with rage as he held in his hand the news that had just been delivered to him. It clearly recorded the change in the rumours that had spread throughout the Imperial Capital in just one day.
"This matter, you sure know how to handle it! Hmm? "The Emperor narrowed his eyes, and with a sweep of his hand, he threw the stack of papers in his hand onto the black robed man's face!
The black robed man remained kneeling on the floor, not daring to utter a single word of rebuttal.
"I asked you to do it, and you did this to me? What is this? What is this? Why would a disciple from the Hua Wan Academy run off to take part in the Spirit Battle Tournament? That Jun Xie had displayed the powers of a green spirit the moment he attacked. Isn't that telling everyone that the rumours before were all just a joke? Aside from the fact that there was a slip-up in this matter, it would still be fine. But what did you bunch of fools do? You actually allowed that disciple from the Hua Wan Academy to run off into the streets and spout nonsense! Are you all afraid that I am not angry enough!? You insist on blowing this matter up into an uproar! Let everyone know that someone is purposely trying to defame the Crown Prince! " The Emperor sat upon his chair, his chest heaving with rage, his eyes bloodshot as he stared unwaveringly at the black robed man kneeling on the floor.
The black robed man's body stiffened, and his head hung even lower.
"This matter is your humble servant's mistake. Your humble servant had not thought that the disciple from the Hua Wan Academy would go back on his word. Your humble servant has already sent men to investigate Zhao Xun's whereabouts. Once he is found, he will definitely regret it."
After Zhao Xun had caused such a ruckus in the Imperial Capital today, he had suddenly disappeared into thin air. In order to capture Zhao Xun, they had specially set up camp at the inn where the Hua Wan Academy was located. But till late into the night, they had not seen a single trace of Zhao Xun. To prevent the matter from escalating further, they could only secretly send men to search for Zhao Xun within the Imperial Capital. But Zhao Xun seemed to have evaporated into thin air, and they had searched the entire Imperial Capital but could not find even a shadow of him.
"That Zhao Xun must be found!" The Emperor's eyes narrowed, suppressing the rage in his heart. "In addition, this matter cannot be allowed to continue any further. Jun Xie's powers have already been exposed and if we continue, it will only be a joke. No one will believe that a green spirit would need Lei Chen's help."
The Emperor's mind had finally cleared up a little. The Zephyr Academy had been in the limelight recently and he had heard about it. But he had not expected that the youngest contestant in the Zephyr Academy would possess such terrifying powers.
"Yes!" The man in black replied.
The Emperor drew in a deep breath and said: "The Zephyr Academy's current situation is a little out of my expectations. The Crown Prince is on good terms with them and since we are no longer able to make use of the people from the Zephyr Academy to do anything, then we should be able to rope in these highly gifted youths." The Emperor paused, and the anger on his face immediately dissipated. A benevolent smile rose from the corners of his mouth.
"Little Fan has been cooped up in the Imperial Palace recently and it's about time he went out for a walk. Taking advantage of this year's Spirit Battle Tournament, he will be able to interact with the elites from the various academies and he might be able to select a few outstanding individuals to be his guards in the future."
At the mention of the Fourth Prince, the Emperor's eyes became much gentler.
"Then about the matter with the Crown Prince ….." The black robed man asked cautiously.
The Emperor's brows immediately creased up together. "Restrain yourself a little for now and wait till the final ten contestants of the Spirit Battle Tournament have been decided before continuing. With all the commotion you have caused, if you were to make a move against him, it will inevitably arouse suspicions."
