Wuxia World

Chapter 96
Previously, with the Crown Prince unseen for two days and his points lagging behind, the atmosphere had been quite gloomy.
No one expected that as soon as the Crown Prince appeared, he would deliver such a shocking surprise!
The Saintess of Yunmo Dao Palace, Mo Shuiqiu, stared in awe at the recording stone, her eyes sparkling with an unusual light.
Earlier, being saved by the Crown Prince had been an immense honor.
It was evident that even someone as proud as Zhao Yunji, the high and mighty goddess, had been overshadowed by the Crown Prince…
During this trip to the cultural assembly, Mo Shuiqiu was determined to host the Crown Prince with utmost hospitality.
Ran Yuwei and Zi Lianyou, the two maids, were already lost in admiration. They knew the Crown Prince was handsome, but it was the first time they had seen him this dashing.
Facing the might of the heavens with his own strength! It was simply thrilling, leaving them unable to contain themselves.
Needless to say, the outcome of the duel between the Crown Prince and the Princess was already clear.
“The Crown Prince won!”
“Hurry, settle the bets; we wagered on the Crown Prince’s victory!”
Amid the surrounding cheers, the two maids finally snapped out of their daze.
The cultivators who bet on the Princess’s victory were groaning in disappointment, while the two maids were overjoyed, having made a fortune.
“Thank you, Crown Prince!”
The Tai’an royal guards bowed their heads to the recording stone, one after another.
Had the Crown Prince not intervened to save the Princess, not even ten heads would have been enough for them to lose back in the imperial city!
Saving the Princess was equivalent to saving their own lives…
“My brother is so amazing!” Lin Hongyu gazed at the recording stone, her admiration for her brother growing even stronger.
She thought that even if she didn’t cultivate diligently in the future, it wouldn’t matter—she just needed to cling to her brother!
It wasn’t just her; even the semi-saints and saints were astonished.
Lin Qi’an came from Tianjian City, so his primary focus should have been on sword techniques and divine abilities. How could he have such profound mastery of thunder techniques as well?
It was simply unbelievable!
If he truly mastered these abilities through his own cultivation, then he was indeed a genius beyond compare!
“This sword… it looks somewhat familiar…” The Sword Emperor squinted his eyes, deep in thought.
…
The thunder ceased, and the rain stopped and the night returned to its usual tranquility.
Lin Qi’an landed on the ground with Zhao Yunji in his arms, and only then did they separate.
“Is Your Highness alright?” Su Xueni hurriedly ran over.
“I’m fine.” Lin Qi’an glanced around and noticed several disciples from Tianjian City hiding nearby, holding recording stones, “filming” the scene.
Even in the face of such an apocalyptic situation, they risked their lives to stay at their posts, all for the sake of gaining popularity.
“Go on, I have some private matters to attend to,” he waved his hand, dismissing them.
The upcoming conversation wouldn’t be appropriate with millions of people watching.
Once the others had left, Zhao Yunji stepped forward. Taking a deep breath, she said earnestly, “Thank you.”
With that, she took out her No. 1002 token. A woman as proud as her finally lowered her head and humbly conceded defeat.
Lin Qi’an didn’t make a fuss and directly crushed the token, earning 3 points.
“Big Brother Lin, you’re truly amazing.” Zhao Qingmeng also ran over, smiling sweetly at Lin Qi’an, then turned to Zhao Yunji, “Sister, you can’t say it wasn’t a fair loss!”
Zhao Yunji: !!
For some reason, this girl’s words were infuriating! And why was she so comfortable around Lin Qi’an? Before she came to Tianjian City, the two shouldn’t have had any interaction.
Yet between herself and Lin Qi’an, there seemed to be a thick barrier, full of unfamiliarity.
“There’s no need to thank me. I just want to ask, why didn’t you listen when I tried to stop you earlier? Did you really want to win against me that badly?”
“I…” Zhao Yunji was momentarily speechless.
Indeed, she had a strong competitive spirit and didn’t want to lose to anyone. But the real reason was probably that her fiancé didn’t take her seriously at all, instead being close to other girls.
But such a jealous emotion was something her pride would never allow her to admit.
“I’m sorry.” At this moment, the proud princess, dressed in a golden gown, spoke with a tone that even carried a hint of grievance.
She was quite thankful that Lin Qi’an had sent those people away. Had they still been there, she would have been utterly humiliated.
Lin Qi’an, on the other hand, was puzzled. He had saved her, so logically, the Luck Value of the protagonist should have decreased, but there was no system notification.
This meant that the princess had not yet let go of her pride. This was going to be tricky. How could he shatter the Dao Heart of this child of destiny and provoke them into a rage?
Perhaps… he could have Zhao Yunji chase after him instead…
If the goddess, supreme in her mind, were to pursue a man she deeply resented, the protagonist’s mindset would likely crumble.
In that case, he decided to hit Zhao Yunji with something harsh first!
“Alright then, didn’t you come to Beiyang to break off the engagement? I agree now; let’s annul the engagement.”
“I didn’t…” Zhao Yunji instinctively began to speak.
“No objections? Very well, Your Highness, from now on, you and I have nothing to do with each other.”
Hearing these words, Zhao Yunji felt a sudden, inexplicable pain in her heart. Even her clear eyes dimmed a bit.
Zhao Qingmeng, however, was secretly thrilled as if she had been injected with a dose of excitement. She hadn’t expected the engagement to be annulled for real!
