After the Da Li delegation appeared, a hint of cold flashed in Pei Xuanjing’s eyes because he felt the residual sword intent he had left that day.

“Master?” The Crown Prince looked at Pei Xuanjing, a questioning look in his eyes.

Pei Xuanjing flashed a light smile: “It’s nothing serious, I just discovered the person who attempted to assassinate me on Long Street that day!”

“Huh?” The Crown Prince’s expression darkened, he asked aloud, “Who is it?”

Pei Xuanjing just smiled, not speaking, his gaze landing on the group of people from the Da Li delegation.

Ever since Feng Yan was injured by Pei Xuanjing’s sword Qi that day, he had been practicing in solitude at his station trying to dispel the sword Qi.

Unfortunately, even with Ashina Zhenlu’s help, he could only seal the sword Qi in one place, he was unable to completely dispel it.

As a Heavenly Rank powerhouse, he knew well that the presence of the sword Qi in his body would resonate if they were close enough, revealing his true identity.

Hence, even on the big competition days, he did not appear, instead staying at his station, avoiding any chance of encountering the other party.

Unfortunately, the last day was a major event and as one of the deputy leaders of the delegation, he could not avoid appearing. 𝑓𝘳ℯℯ𝔀ℯ𝓫𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓵.𝘤𝘰𝓶

However, after days of training, he had added multiple seals to the sword Qi, giving him some confidence in avoiding detection by the other party.

But to Feng Yan’s horror, just as he stepped into the place, the sword Qi within his body began to stir, seeming to show signs of flowing again.

“What’s wrong?” Ashina Zhenlu, who was keenly aware of Feng Yan’s movements by his side, asked in a low voice.

Feng Yan looked a bit uncomfortable as he replied, “The sword Qi has a response, he has discovered me.”

“Hm!” Ashina Zhenlu’s expression also changed slightly, he had not expected that the sword Qi which the two had suppressed together would be exposed as soon as they stepped into the place.

With a sigh in his heart, Ashina Zhenlu thought, he should have found some excuses to stop Feng Yan from coming here.

Unfortunately, it was too late. All he could do now was to reassure Feng Yan by saying, “Don’t worry, it’s okay to reveal your identity. The other party won’t tear their face off under these circumstances, it won’t just be us who end up embarrassed.”

Yes, under the current circumstances, even if the Great Tang knew that they were the culprits who attempted to assassinate Pei Min, they would not expose it at this time, they would only temporarily suppress this matter.

And more so, even if it was exposed, they would not admit it. The other factions would not stand by and watch, they would definitely speak out in aid.

“Fine!” Feng Yan nodded reluctantly, after all, he had already been exposed now, and there was no point in saying more about it.

Next, as Ashina Zhenlu had said, everything went on smoothly and orderly, with no accidents happening.

Sitting on the high platform, Pei Xuanjing had an inscrutable smile on his face as he looked at the Da Li delegation in the distance, thinking, “So calm and composed, do they really assume that Pei Min won’t take action in this place? Unfortunately, I’m not the original Pei Min!”

If it were the original Pei Min, considering his family’s concerns, he might have endured them all.

But the key point is, Pei Xuanjing is not Pei Min!

In Pei Xuanjing’s view, he has nothing to fear, he could abandon everything in this world.

After all, the life simulation has come this far, he has already gained enough.

It’s clear that Pei Xuanjing is not the kind of person who grins and bears it. The reason why he let the other party go on Long Street that day was simply that he found it troublesome.

Today, since the other party dares to appear before him, Pei Xuanjing naturally won’t show any mercy.

As for the so-called general situation?

All nonsense!

In Pei Xuanjing’s view, he himself is the true general situation.

At this moment, with the top three talents of the empire having just been decided

Next is the time for the imperial genius to compete with the four delegations, everyone is eagerly waiting to see if this time the imperial genius can overpower the four sides and uphold the empire’s dignity.

Right then, Pei Xuanjing, who had been sitting on the high platform, suddenly stood up.

Know that even if Pei Xuanjing sat there doing nothing, he would attract a great deal of attention. They were watching Pei Xuanjing’s every move.

At this moment, his sudden rise caused everyone’s heart to skip a beat.

What was he going to do?

Decked in a green robe, his long hair tied at the back with a hair clasp and the Longevity Sword hanging at his waist, Pei Xuanjing stood tall with a light smile on his face.

“Master!” The Crown Prince’s face changed, guessing the other’s actions.

After all, he had learned from Pei Xuanjing that the person who tried to assassinate him on Long Street that day had come here, it was someone from the Da Li delegation.

Seeing Pei Xuanjing rise, his first reaction was to wonder if the other party was preparing to take action.

According to the analysis of his staff officers, this seemingly gentle and easy-going man is actually domineering and decisive in his bones. The initial cloud contest was one thing, but latter events in the Cloud Prairie perfectly demonstrated the man’s personality.

Given the man’s character, the fact that he didn’t take action when he noticed the person who had tried to assassinate him on Long Street, the Crown Prince had assumed he was just enduring it, but it seemed that wasn’t the case.

Although the Crown Prince was well aware that even if Pei Min took action now, it would still be in line with his character, he still wanted to stop him. After all, today is different from the past and it could easily lead to major incidents.

Pei Xuanjing smiled faintly, “Your Highness, are you trying to stop me?”

The Crown Prince looked at Pei Xuanjing, let out a deep sigh, “Even though I know I might not be able to stop you, I still have to try.”

Even though Pei Xuanjing’s actions could implicate him, he still didn’t want to turn against him and tried his best to stop it.

Pei Xuanjing slowly shook his head.

This Crown Prince is said to have a mild temper and be generous, but another way to put it is that he’s indecisive and lacks the heart to be decisive.

Otherwise, in Pei Xuanjing’s initial life simulation, the Crown Prince wouldn’t have been so easily dethroned and lack the guts to fight back in the end.

He knew that the Crown Prince stepping out was not out of a strong urge to stop him, but rather a reaction from instinct due to his identity.

Pei Xuanjing gave a faint smile, raised his sleeve, and gently pushed the Crown Prince away with a soft force.

This behaviour was an attempt to save face for everyone, indicating that what happened today had nothing to do with the Crown Prince.

After doing all this, he turned around, his loud voice resonating in all directions.

“Feng Yan, you attacked this son of mine on Long Street that day. Why are you so cowardly and hiding today? It’s really disappointing. Is this how the disciples of the National Mentor of Da Li behave?”

By this time, he naturally had already found out about the identity of the Da Li delegation and discerned who the assailant was.
