The atmosphere in front of the hall was slightly tense. Countless eyes fell on Gu Dongliu.
There weren't many people in the Eastern Barren Territory who dared to ask the king for someone in such an occasion. Gu Dongliu was one of them.
The Cottage had become famous in the world through two battles. They had also built up the Cottage's strength of character. Everyone knew how proud the Cottage was.
Today, they witnessed it once again.
But this time, Gu Dongliu was facing the Qin Dynasty and the Donghua Clan.
"Everyone here today is our guest," the king looked at Gu Dongliu. The king of Qin looked at Gu Dongliu. He did not reply directly but spoke coldly. The smile in his eyes had disappeared and was replaced by a faint sense of authority.
Gu Dongliu didn't give him face. As the king, he didn't need to be polite either. He didn't say anything but it was already a response.
A very direct response.
Since they were guests of the Qin Dynasty, they couldn't let Gu Dongliu take them away.
Gu Dongliu bowed to the king of Qin. Although he looked like a scholar and was arrogant, he was still very polite.
"So, there are differences between guests too," Gu Dongliu said calmly. Everyone was surprised and then understood what he meant.
The Cottage was also here to watch the ceremony. They were also guests but were bullied by Nobles.
During the guqin recital, the Qin Dynasty didn't stop the Donghua Clan from bullying the Cottage. Now, they stopped him.
Obviously, there were differences between guests too.
The king frowned. Then, Gu Dongliu said, "Since that's the case, I won't disturb your ceremony anymore. Goodbye."
With that, Gu Dongliu turned around and looked at the grandstand next to him. "Little Brother, let's go."
"Okay." Ye Futian stood up and walked to Gu Dongliu's side. Then, the two walked into the distance.
Everyone stared at the back of the two of them. They seemed a little lonely, but at the same time, they exuded a sense of pride.
Gu Dongliu came to visit. Although he was a bit arrogant, he was very polite. No matter how strong Gu Dongliu was, he couldn't really attack the king in front of him.
But would the Cottage just let it go?
Qin Li, the king's grandson, sneered. This was the Qin Dynasty, not a top force in the Eastern Barren Territory. It was even stronger than the Fuyun Sword Clan.
Could the Cottage take people as they pleased?
What a joke.
The people of the Donghua Clan looked indifferent, but they were very unhappy.
Gu Dongliu's aura alone seemed to be able to suppress the Donghua Clan. It was as if the Donghua Clan was just an ordinary force. It was simply outrageous.
He Jiang stared at Gu Dongliu's back, his eyes extremely cold. He was the noble who had injured Yu Sheng with a single palm strike that day. If Gu Dongliu wanted someone, it would undoubtedly be him.
This guy was really arrogant. He actually came to the Qin Dynasty to capture people during the ceremony. Didn't he return empty-handed?
"The ceremony is over. We will take our leave now."
At this moment, Situ Wu of the College stood up and saluted the king of Qin. Then, he left with the people of the College.
The Qin Dynasty wanted to suppress the Cottage, but in reality, they also wanted to deal with the College. He naturally understood this. No matter what the world thought, the Cottage was still a part of the College.
However, because the Cottage's reputation was too strong, it seemed to be an independent force outside of the College.
Since Gu Dongliu had come to ask for them personally, there was no need for the Academy to keep them here.
"We will also take our leave," the people of the Sword Saint Mountain stood up and saluted.
The Sword Saint was the god in the hearts of the disciples of the Sword Saint Mountain. He was the founder of the Sword Saint Mountain and had created a top force in the Eastern Barren Territory with his own power. Everyone knew how difficult this was, but the Sword Saint had done it.
In their hearts, the god was the eldest disciple of the Cottage.
To the Sword Saint Mountain, the Cottage was equivalent to a holy land. Their god had come down from the Cottage and then became famous all over the world.
They were not sure about the other disciples, but Gu Dongliu was very familiar with the Sword Saint Mountain. In the past few years, Gu Dongliu had gone to the Sword Saint Mountain several times and chatted with the Sword Saint. Their relationship was obvious.
Since Gu Dongliu had come personally, the Sword Saint Mountain naturally had to express their attitude.
The king of Qin frowned slightly. Just then, the people of the Liu Kingdom also stood up and left. The king of Qin's majestic eyes were somewhat cold.
Was the Liu Kingdom also not giving him face?
With the departure of the three major forces, the atmosphere became a little strange.
However, the king of Qin's expression returned to normal immediately. He said, "Young people are indeed arrogant. Today, I see that the Cottage disciples live up to their reputation. Qin Yu is now the crown prince and will gradually control the Qin Dynasty. In the future, the world will belong to the younger generation."
Everyone smiled and nodded, but they all had their own thoughts. However, they did not leave. There was no need to offend the king of Qin here.
After a while, someone came and cupped his hands at the king of Qin. "Your Majesty."
The king of Qin glanced at the person and asked, "What is it?"
"Gu Dongliu did not leave," the person bowed and reported.
The incomer bowed and reported. Emperor Qin's eyes flashed, and the surrounding people also revealed strange expressions.
"Where is he?" the king of Qin asked.
"Outside the palace. He is standing there and looking in the direction of the palace," the person reported with his head lowered. The smile on the king's grandson, Qin Li, disappeared. He looked slightly embarrassed.
Qin Yu raised his eyebrows and looked in the direction of the palace. His expression was extremely sharp.
Was he provoking the Qin Dynasty?
Everyone's eyes flashed. This was the style of the Cottage disciples.
Peaceful measures before force?
He had done the etiquette and stated his purpose of coming. Gu Dongliu would not disturb the crowning ceremony of the Qin Dynasty's crown prince. However, he was waiting outside the palace. What could the Qin Dynasty do?
…
At the moment, the black dragon circled in the sky outside the palace. On its back, there were two people.
Ye Futian and Xue Ye.
Two people from the Cottage had come. The third disciple, Gu Dongliu, and the fourth disciple, Xue Ye.
Luo Fan did not come this time. Yu Sheng was seriously injured. Luo Fan stayed in the Cottage to cook something for Yu Sheng to recover.
In front of the black dragon, a person stood quietly in the air. His white robe was unparalleled. It was Gu Dongliu.
Outside the Imperial Palace, at the bottom of the stairs, a large number of people looked at Gu Dongliu with a strange expression.
Not long ago, Gu Dongliu had stepped into the palace. Everyone thought that he was going to attend the ceremony. However, he quickly came out and brought someone with him.
This person was very handsome and very young. He was only around 18 years old. Everyone could vaguely guess his identity.
It was Ye Futian, the genius who had become famous in the Ancient Barren World and then accepted as a disciple of the Cottage.
Recently, there were many rumors about him in the Qin Imperial City. In particular, what Qin Li, the king's grandson, had said that day caused a great commotion.
As for what had happened in the palace yesterday, outsiders did not know. Only the top forces in the palace knew.
Even so, seeing the scene before them, they vaguely realized something.
The Cottage did not seem to be here to attend the ceremony. It seemed more like they were here to cause trouble.
After that, the College, Sword Saint Mountain, and the Liu Kingdom all walked out.
The disciple of the Sword Saint Mountain walked forward and bowed to Gu Dongliu. "I've already reported what happened yesterday to the Sword Saint Mountain. Before receiving a response, we cannot do anything."
"Okay. You can just watch," Gu Dongliu said.
The person from the Sword Saint Mountain nodded and walked to the side.
The College and the Liu Kingdom did not leave either. They just stood there.
The Cottage had its own way of doing things. The College did not need to interfere too early.
Although the prince and princess of the Liu Kingdom had a good relationship with Ye Futian, they could not easily interfere in such an occasion. Leaving the Qin Imperial Palace was already an attitude.
After a while, a group of strong cultivators walked out of the palace. The leader was not the king, but Qin Yu.
Now, Qin Yu was already the crown prince of the Qin Dynasty and was as famous as Gu Dongliu. It was naturally the most suitable for him to handle this. It was actually not suitable for the king to appear.
The people of the Donghua Clan and other forces were also behind him. They looked at the white-robed figure standing proudly in the air. From him, they seemed to see the shadow of the Sword Saint standing before the peak of the Fuyun Sword Clan.
"Gu Dongliu, why are you doing this?" Qin Yu raised his head and asked Gu Dongliu coldly.
Gu Dongliu also raised his eyebrows. He asked Qin Yu, "What do you mean?"
Their gazes met. Both were extremely sharp. It was as if they were in a confrontation.
"The king of Qin is here. I have already left the Qin Imperial Palace. Why are you here? Is the Qin Dynasty really involved in what happened in the palace? "Gu Dongliu questioned coldly.
Of course, this was not easy to answer.
Did the Qin Dynasty participate in this and admit that the two forces had teamed up to bully the juniors of the Cottage?
After all, the Cottage was invited by the Qin Imperial City to watch the ceremony. If they admitted it, their reputation would be ruined.
If they said that they did not participate, wouldn't they be excluding the Donghua Clan?
"This is outside the Qin Imperial Palace," Qin Yu said coldly, not answering the question.
"What a joke. The juniors of the Cottage were bullied by the nobles of the Donghua Clan in the Qin Imperial Palace. You didn't even say anything. According to my fifth brother, the people of the Qin Imperial Palace even stopped him from attacking the Donghua Clan." Gu Dongliu's words became even sharper. He said coldly, "Now, I am only waiting outside the Qin Imperial Palace. But the Qin Dynasty also wants to intervene and protect the Donghua Clan? Crown Prince, do you have a reason? "
Hearing Gu Dongliu's words, everyone's hearts trembled.
So, a story actually happened in the Qin Imperial Palace?
The Cottage disciples were bullied by the nobles of the Donghua Clan.
Now, Gu Dongliu of the Cottage was here to settle scores, but the Qin Dynasty was protecting the Donghua Clan.
All the forces looked at Gu Dongliu. Not only were the Cottage disciples extremely talented, but their words were also extremely sharp.
Gu Dongliu's words were impeccable. After all, they were the ones in the wrong.
The Qin Dynasty did not intervene when the nobles of the Donghua Clan bullied the Dharma Plane cultivators in the Qin Imperial Palace. Now, the Cottage was waiting outside the palace. What reason did the Qin Dynasty have to intervene?
