Chapter 95: A Counterattack

From beginning to end, the Mansion Master did not express any opinion. No one was surprised by Xu Zhou being thrown off; in fact, they found it quite normal.

The candidates were surprised, but they felt pleased, as people like Xu Zhou were very disliked.

After Xu Zhou was thrown off the Cloud Boat, everyone present felt that Yi Qianmo joining the Mansion Master faction was a done deal.

Minister Professor Yu walked over and said, "Are you satisfied, Young Master Su?"

"Very satisfied."

Yi Qianmo nodded and then said, "But I have decided to pursue my path of cultivation!"

"What did he just… say… say?"

Everyone present was stunned, questioning if they had misheard.

Minister Professor Yu also doubted his hearing and asked again, "What did Young Master Su just say?"

"I said, I am cultivating!"

Yi Qianmo said loudly.

"Boom!"

The hall was instantly filled with noise; they looked at Yi Qianmo, thinking he might be crazy. The previous moment could have been a misunderstanding, but this time, they definitely heard it clearly.

He was talking about cultivation!

Not only Minister Professor Yu, but even Su Muyu and Su Yucheng were bewildered; they never expected such a twist in the story.

The Mansion Master in the main seat opened his eyes, glanced at Yi Qianmo, and frowned.

But Yi Qianmo had no intention of backing down. He joined this important exam to bring respect to Su Muyu, and he did not care what Minister Professor Yu thought.

The Mansion Master looked for a moment and then quickly closed his eyes, but Minister Professor Yu would not let this go. With a red face, he said, "Didn’t you just say that if I agreed to your conditions, you would choose to join the Mansion Master’s group?"

"Did you not hear me clearly? What I said is, I can practice the arts, but I do not want to train alongside Xu Zhou!"

Yi Qianmo said calmly.

"You!!!"

Minister Professor Yu instantly drew his sword and angrily shouted, "Do you really think you are so special that I would not dare to kill you? I tell you, I can throw Xu Zhou aside, and I can throw you aside too!"

Facing a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator, Yi Qianmo did not underestimate him. He grasped the sword handle and said, "You wouldn’t dare!"

"Hahaha!"

Minister Professor Yu laughed with anger. He still thought Yi Qianmo would back down. "I wouldn’t dare? Hahaha, then let me show you right now!"

After saying that, Minister Professor Yu’s gaze locked onto Yi Qianmo. He gathered his spiritual power, ready to grab him by the neck and throw him off the cloud boat.

Everyone present wondered if Yi Qianmo had gone mad, yet no one stopped him.

Su Yucheng wanted to intervene, but he wisely kept still, knowing that Yi Qianmo’s actions were far worse than Xu Zhou’s rebellion.

Unless he changed his mind and joined the Mansion Master faction, the Mansion Master faction would definitely seek his destruction. In anger, Minister Professor Yu might throw him off the cloud boat right now.

At that height, not even a Qi Refining Stage practitioner would survive, let alone someone at the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Su Yucheng certainly wouldn’t waste energy trying to protect a dead man.

Facing Minister Professor Yu, who had captured him, Yi Qianmo held his sword without moving, but he shielded his face from the spiritual power and ended the Disguise Skill.

As the spiritual power vanished, the face that looked somewhat ugly began to shift, becoming fair and handsome. Minister Professor Yu, who walked closer, trembled slightly and immediately spat out a mouthful of blood in anger.

"Disguise Skill!"

No one present expected that Yi Qianmo still had such a skill.

They just did not understand why Minister Professor Yu stopped and spat blood after seeing this face.

"It’s you!!!"

When Su Yucheng saw Yi Qianmo’s face, he immediately became very angry, "You scoundrel! How dare you show up? Someone, take him down and tear him apart!"

A crowd of Black Armored Guards rushed forward.

Everyone was already puzzled about why Minister Professor Yu was so angry that he spat blood, and upon seeing Su Yucheng’s reaction, they thought, who is this terrible villain?

How could he make Minister Professor Yu spit blood and provoke the Crown Prince?

Even the Mansion Master in the main seat looked over but did not take action against him.

"Stop!"

A voice came through, and trembling all over, Su Yucheng finally reacted.

"Aunt, it’s this thief! If it weren’t for him, my mission wouldn’t have failed, and I’m taking the blame for him. That thing is with him!"

Su Yucheng explained, "Someone like this must never enter Tianyuan Academy, even if he has amazing talent!"

Su Yucheng thought Su Muyu would support him, since this was about the royal family’s honor, but he found that Su Muyu’s attention was not on him at all, and she had no intention of listening to him.

Instead, she stared dreamily at Yi Qianmo and said, "I thought you weren’t coming."

"This…"

The people present were a bit confused, not understanding what was happening.

The person in front first tricked Minister Professor Yu, and the furious Minister Professor Yu ended up spitting blood upon seeing his face.

Then, the Crown Prince also recognized him, but he held a deep grudge against him, clearly wanting to tear him apart.

They never expected to be silenced by a single sentence from the Grand Princess. Even being silenced was one thing, but the Grand Princess, known as the most beautiful woman in the Yan Kingdom, was looking at the young boy in a dazed manner.

If it weren’t for the buzzing sound of the cloud boat shaking their eardrums, they would have doubted whether they were dreaming!

"Who is he?"

This was the question in everyone’s heart.

"Aunt, we absolutely cannot keep this person!!"

Su Yucheng warned.

He thought Su Muyu wanted to win over Yi Qianmo and use this chance to make him part of the royal family.

Su Muyu turned and glared at him, saying, "Listen carefully, his name is Yi Qianmo, he comes from Green Cloud City, and he is my future husband!"

"…" Su Yucheng.

"…" The crowd.

After the name Yi Qianmo appeared, they suddenly understood his strange behavior before.

"So he is the son-in-law who lived with them for thirteen years and was then dismissed."

"No wonder the Grand Princess has such an infatuated expression, but… wasn’t he only able to marry into the royal family because of the Tang family’s connections?"

"Yes, his strength is surprisingly great, and he even got first place in the major exam; that must be the royal family’s biggest secret weapon!"

The hall began to buzz with discussion.

Their expressions toward Su Muyu grew more respectful; they all believed that the situation was arranged by Su Muyu, after all, the Grand Princess is usually very thoughtful, otherwise, she wouldn’t be King Yan’s right-hand aide.

The current situation was more impressive than any previous one; it was truly a stunning counterattack that caused the Mansion Master faction to fail.

Only Su Muyu knew that she had not arranged anything; although she had made some preparations, she had never allowed Yi Qianmo to disguise himself to take the exam.

Before this, she thought Yi Qianmo must have encountered some incident on the road that delayed him from arriving.

She never imagined Su Muzhi was actually Yi Qianmo, because the difference in their strength was too great. A month ago, Yi Qianmo was only at the third level of the Qi Refining Stage, while Su Muzhi was at the sixth level.

Yi Qianmo smiled at Su Yucheng and said, "Are you still planning to chop me into pieces, Your Highness?"

Su Yucheng was speechless but felt he had to respond. With anger on his face, he forced a smile and said, "What you said was not true. Those were just angry words. If I had known you were my future son-in-law, I would have treated you with respect back on the ship."
