Shi Sheng didn't disturb the others when he entered, merely waiting quietly in a corner with Xi Yin.
Because most of her body was blocked by Xi Yin, no one noticed that she looked exactly the same as the dazzling Ling Xiang.
Shi Sheng's quiet demeanor made Xi Yin feel very strange.
This didn't fit her personality at all.
Xi Yin secretly tightened his grip on Shi Sheng's hand.
The rich fragrance of roses wafted through the entire hall.
Shi Sheng's gaze landed on the rectangular dining table at the side of the hall.
There were many beautiful cups on it, each filled with a bright red liquid.
That was where the rose fragrance came from.
Xi Yin seemed to have noticed her gaze and pulled her into his embrace.
He explained in a low voice, "That's rice wine. It can make you feel full, but it's addictive."
"The one you gave me?"
"Mm, sorry." Xi Yin didn't hide it.
Fortunately, he only gave her one cup.
Shi Sheng didn't react, looking away after a brief glance.
The vampire hunters and vampires were clearly divided into camps, each occupying a side of the hall.
Of course, some of the vampire hunters and vampires interacted with each other, but their interactions were limited to greeting each other.
Shi Sheng saw Du Jue among the vampire hunters. Du Jue's expression didn't look too good, and he kept saying something to the person beside him.
The person beside him didn't seem to agree, and the more Du Jue spoke, the more agitated he became. Suddenly, he smashed the wine glass in his hand.
The sound of glass shattering caused the entire hall to fall silent. Everyone turned to look in his direction.
"If you won't speak, then I will. This matter doesn't concern us humans, but vampires as well." Du Jue's powerful voice reverberated through the silent hall.
"Du Jue!" The elder who had been talking to Du Jue yelled.
"What does Mr Du want to say?" Ke Er walked over from the vampires' side and stood in the middle, looking at Du Jue inquisitively.
"Du Jue, don't speak nonsense." The elder wanted to pull Du Jue back, but Du Jue pushed him away.
He adjusted his glasses and walked forward to stand in front of Ke Er. "Does Mr Ke Er know that your adopted daughter has violated the treaty in the human world and killed people at will?"
Ke Er's eyes narrowed as he looked at Ling Xiang.
Ling Xiang seemed to be shocked by this news as well, her expression somewhat dazed.
Everyone's gazes turned to Ling Xiang.
"Violating the first clause of the treaty is punishable by death … Why would Her Highness Mi Nai kill someone?"
"Why would Her Highness Mi Nai violate the treaty? Perhaps they're just looking for trouble."
"I think so too. Vampire hunters and us are natural enemies. They must be framing us."
Kerr ignored the discussions and calmly asked: "Mr. Dean, do you have any evidence?"
Du Jue took out his phone and showed Ke Er the video.
The first video was a side profile, but that face was too iconic. Even if it was just a side profile, it would not be mistaken.
The person in the video was biting the neck of a human and drinking his blood.
The second video was when the school was besieged.
The cameraman didn't manage to capture the scene where Shi Sheng and Ling Xiang appeared at the same time. He only managed to capture the scene where Ling Xiang sucked the blood and revealed her face.
"This is the evidence." Du Jue raised his voice, his eyes shining brightly. "I wonder how Prince Ke Er will explain this."
Rui Yi stood behind Ke Er, the expression on his face changing unpredictably.
His little princess would not eat so roughly. It must be that imposter.
However, that imposter was using his little princess's name. If this matter wasn't handled well, in the end, the one who would be criticized would still be the little princess.
"Ke Er, let your girl explain," one of the princes spoke up, his gaze on the vampire hunters extremely unfriendly.
Although they had internal strife, at a time like this, they naturally had to side with their own people.
Ke Er looked at Ling Xiang.
Ling Xiang lifted the hem of her dress and walked to Ke Er's side, glancing at Du Jue first.
Du Jue's sharp gaze caused her to shrink back in fear. She explained in a small voice, "Godfather, I didn't. They're slandering me."
"Mi Nai girl, you have to show evidence." A rather ugly man among the princes stepped forward.
He wasn't exactly ugly, but there was a scar on his face that affected his looks.
His gaze was as sharp as a knife as he stared at Ling Xiang, the pressure pressing down on her.
"Fei Qi!" Ke Er scolded in a low voice.
The man called Fei Qi snorted. "Ke Er, why are you being so loud? Did you do something shameful? If your goddaughter didn't do anything wrong, we vampires naturally wouldn't watch her be slandered. But if she violated the agreement, we can't cover it up either. Otherwise, what's the point of the agreement established a hundred years ago? "
Ke Er's gaze on Fei Qi immediately turned subtle. The other princes remained silent, each with their own ideas.
"If Your Highness Mi Nai can produce evidence to prove her innocence, then this matter is our fault. We will apologize to Your Highness Mi Nai." Seeing that the situation had developed to this point, the elder also stepped forward to speak up.
"I really didn't," Ling Xiang defended herself, her expression anxious. "Godfather, you have to believe me."
"Mi Nai girl, this isn't something you can just say. You have to have evidence." Everyone present probably knew what was going on from Fei Qi's expression of kicking someone while they were down.
He was using the vampire hunters to cause trouble.
Among the princes, Fei Qi and Ke Er were the strongest. The two of them had been competing in secret for many years.
Fei Qi naturally wouldn't let go of such a good opportunity.
"Fei Qi, do you know what you're doing?" Ke Er's expression turned completely cold.
He was actually helping an outsider …
"I'm doing this for the sake of the vampire race's stability. No one wants to have someone who breaks the agreement and affects the peace, right?"
Fei Qi continued, "We're princes. We can't cover up the wrongdoer just because she's a relative, can we?"
Fei Qi was forcing Ke Er to make a decision. Bending the law in front of the vampire hunters would definitely incur their displeasure.
"Godfather, I really didn't do it." Ling Xiang kept insisting that she hadn't done it, but she didn't provide any evidence.
Shi Sheng watched for a while before breaking into a grin. He came to a conclusion. "She's trying to start a war."
As for her motive …
According to Ke Er, she was looking for something, but couldn't find it.
She was probably trying to take advantage of the chaos to find it.
Shi Sheng cupped his chin as he watched the argument escalate into a verbal battle. In the end, someone was so infuriated that he was about to attack.
During this time, Ling Xiang's role was to insist that she hadn't done it, but she didn't provide any evidence or question the contents of the video.
This allowed anyone with a slightly more vivid imagination to come up with a plot in a matter of minutes.
Fei Qi, on the other hand, was a little more subtle. He was constantly infuriating Ke Er, as if he wanted to join forces with the vampire hunters to drag Ke Er down.
It was such a big show, but the master behind the impostor hadn't revealed a single trace of himself.
He had really put in a lot of effort.
Shi Sheng's lips curled into a cold smile. At some point, his Iron Sword had already appeared in his hand.
After watching them sing for so long, it was time for her to put on a show and make them turn over a new leaf.
