Qing Shiyu glanced at Yun Qingyue again and sneered, “Yun Qingyue, you think you’re the only smart one, don’t you?”
At that moment, Yun Qingyue was taken aback.
Qing Shiyu continued, “I, Qing Shiyu!”
“From the royal family of the Qingyun Empire, I am the daughter of the current Mountain-Town King, Qing Shanya, and a princess personally ennobled by His Majesty!”
“Today, I guarantee with the honor of being a princess ennobled by His Majesty that every word I speak is the truth!”
In that instant, the entire arena fell into a deathly silence.
Qing Shiyu… was a princess!
The Mountain-Town King!
He was the true power holder in the Qingyun Empire, the emperor’s own brother from the same mother, and now he was the emperor’s most trusted confidant, his right-hand man.
Moreover, as the daughter of a king, she should technically be a county princess.
The fact that Qing Shiyu was ennobled as a princess indicated that she was undoubtedly favored by the emperor.
A princess, disregarding her own reputation, spoke out and personally vouched for something.
This Ye Wushuang… had truly defied fate.
At this moment, Ye Wushuang was also stunned.
This girl was a princess?
He really… hadn’t seen it coming.
Where was the air of a princess in Qing Shiyu?
The members of the Ye Family, Ye Qingfeng, Liu Yuemei, Ye Feifei, as well as Uncle He and Xu Qiuyuan, were also taken aback.
Qing Shiyu was a princess?
Could it be that princesses were just gluttons?
They had seen her this morning, eating without any regard for her image, indulging herself heartily.
Yun Qingyue wanted to say something, but Tang Chuyi immediately spoke up, “Qing Shiyu is indeed the daughter of the Mountain-Town King, Qing Shanya, and the princess ennobled by His Majesty.”
With the elder of Qingyun Academy vouching for her, who would dare to doubt?
At present, within the Qingyun Empire, there were many powerful families in the major counties and the capital, and even some martial sects.
However, in the entire Qingyun Empire, the imperial power was supreme!
There was no other reason.
It was simply because the royal Qing family was the number one family and the most powerful force in the empire, overshadowing the entire land, with no family daring to challenge them!
Yun Qingyue’s voice, now lacking confidence, said, “Even if what she says is true, it only proves that Ye Wushuang had no interest in her. Who knows if Ye Wushuang didn’t develop some sinister intentions towards my sister over the three years we were together…”
Hearing this, Qin Hao, who had been silent until then, his eyes brightened and said, “That’s right, everyone has different tastes. Ye Wushuang must have been coveting Sister Ziyan all along!”
Qing Shiyu was genuinely amused by this point.
She glanced at Ye Wushuang and continued, “Today, I’ve really helped you out. You owe me one. You’ll have to teach me how to comprehend the subtle realm of sword intent later!”
Ye Wushuang gave a helpless smile. This girl was still thinking about that…
As she finished speaking, Qing Shiyu took a step forward, closing in on Yun Qingyue.
“Since I’ve said my piece and you’re still holding on tight, fine, this is on you!”
At that moment, Qing Shiyu clenched her hand, and within her palm, a black bead flickered with a faint light.
As the bead appeared, the spiritual energy around them became active, and everyone present felt their souls being drawn in.
Tang Chuyi’s face changed when he saw Qing Shiyu take out the black bead, and he hurried forward, exclaiming, “Shiyu, don’t…”
“Grandpa Tang, stay out of it.”
Qing Shiyu then looked at Yun Qingyue with a smile and said, “Yun Qingyue, this bead is called the Heavenly Soul Bead. It’s a heavenly-grade spiritual instrument, even more precious than the Nine Heavens Yang Mirror.”
“The miraculous effect of this bead is that it allows a trace of a martial artist’s soul power to enter it. Within three months, any events that have happened to this person will be displayed within the bead like a series of images.”
“Whether Ye Wushuang drugged your sister can be proven by having her infuse a trace of her soul power into it!”
“This is the most direct way to prove Ye Wushuang’s innocence!”
“Oh, and you can’t refuse on the grounds that it will harm your sister, because the Heavenly Soul Bead won’t damage even the slightest bit of her soul essence.”
With that, Qing Shiyu sneered coldly, “Do you… dare to let your sister try it?”
