“All dead? Jiang Yunhai has been rescued by Jiang Yi?”

In the crown prince residence of the Divine Martial Kingdom’s royal capital, Xia Wuhui received the news in just two days. The commotion caused by Jiang Yi in the Ghost Flame City and Mountain Ghost City was too significant. The whole city knew about it, which included the Divine Martial Kingdom’s scouts who quickly reported back with the news.

“Useless! Shameful!”

Xia Wuhui furiously picked up and smashed everything on the table, making a huge mess. After spending ten heaven artifacts and secretly delivering 200 God-Exterminating Crossbows, he didn’t expect everything to be in vain. It was imaginable how agitated he was.

“Jiang Yi, Jiang Yi, Jiang Yi!”

Every time he smashed something, he would roar out, seemingly trying to smash Jiang Yi to death. Because of Jiang Yi, he wasn’t able to walk upright back at the royal capital. Even though Xia Tingwei didn’t blame him, he still felt the different eyes that Xia Tingwei would use to look at him. The officials were still respectful to him, but he could feel a trace of mockery that was hidden within the depths of their eyes.

During this period of time, Jiang Yi’s prestige was at the peak while his anger was at the peak, too. He was either smashing things the whole day; sometimes even killing a few palace maids or eunuchs. It seemed as though he was slightly possessed.

“The King has a decree! Summoning the Crown Prince for an audience!”

There was this sharp-pitched voice which echoed from outside. Xia Wuhui quickly wiped his face and forced himself to calm down. He tidied up his robes and walked out indifferently while being escorted by a group of eunuchs and palace maids towards the royal study room.

“This son pays respects to King Father!”

In the massive and empty royal study room, Xia Tingwei was sat in a high seat while looking through some documents. After Xia Wuhui entered, he didn’t even lift his head and just dismissed the palace maids and eunuchs.

Xia Wuhui waited for a moment. When he saw that Xia Tingwei didn’t have the intention to speak, he gritted his teeth and bowed with cupped hands, “King Father, did you call this son over to give any instructions?”

Xia Tingwei finally lifted his head, which caused Xia Wuhui’s body to tremble. This was the first time he saw this expression which was filled with a cold smile. In his memory, Xia Tingwei had never given such a smile to him, and this meant that Xia Tingwei was extremely angry.

“Wuhui, you have disappointed me so much!”

Xia Tingwei’s statement caused Xia Wuhui’s body to go soft as he knelt down immediately. He twitched his mouth and clenched his teeth as he asked, “King Father, this child doesn’t know what has he done wrong? Please tell me, and I shall change!”

“You still do not know what you did wrong?”

Xia Tingwei stood up and walked towards Xia Wuhui slowly, speaking in a cold voice, “I know of your hatred towards Jiang Yi. I am also clear of the fact that Jiang Yi caused your reputation to plunge! But... can’t you see what kind of times this is? Jiang Yi is on the rise, and you still want to deal with him at this moment? What use do you have in capturing Jiang Yunhai? Are you able to plot and kill Jiang Yi? With his current status—even if you managed to get him into the Divine Martial Kingdom, do you think we will dare to touch him? Why can’t you use your brain to think?! Why did the Demon Empress give him that palm strike, hm?

“Furthermore... you actually secret used the God-Exterminating Crossbows just got to obtain Jiang Yunhai? This matter is even more foolish! Do you know that your actions will chill the hearts of the Divine Martial Kingdom’s people? Without the people’s heart, how are you going to rule the world in the future?”

Xia Wuhui’s eye shrank as he quickly kowtowed and spoke in a soft voice, “King Father did the right thing in disciplining. This child knows his fault and will not deal with Jiang Yi anymore!”

“Fool!”

Once Xia Wuhui acknowledged his mistake, Xia Tingwei was even more furious. He suddenly lifted his leg and kicked Xia Wuhui, which sent Xia Wuhui flying several meters while fresh blood trickled down from the corner of his mouth. He then yelled out with a fierce voice, “Wuhui, if this kick doesn’t wake you up, then I have to reconsider picking another Crown Prince! Don’t you understand what you did wrong? It wasn’t because you tried to deal with Jiang Yi, but because you were blinded by hatred and lost your clear mind, calmness, and rationality!

“You even killed a few palace maids and eunuchs during this period of time? What kind of circumstance is it now? If you cannot endure such a small setback, it will ruin the grand scheme. A gentleman’s revenge is never too late even after ten years. A sovereign must always remain calm at all times and must know how to endure so that he can plan for greatness, even if he has to spend ten years. How am I going to be worry-free to hand you the world with your temperament?”

Xia Wuhui just sat in the ground with his furrowed brows, even forgetting to wipe off the blood on the corner of his mouth. He sat for a long time while his expression began to calm down before he finally knelt and kowtowed again. “King Father, your son understands now! Jiang Yi has the backing of the Azure Dragon Empire and the Demon Empress currently, and his prestige is at the peak. It is indeed not good timing to deal with him. This son realized that it was too reckless on Jiang Yunhai’s matter. I plead for King Father to give this son another chance, and I will not disappoint you.”

“En!”

Finally, a trace of a smile appeared on Xia Tingwei’s face as he nodded with satisfaction. Xia Wuhui was the smartest among all his sons, and this lesson would surely allow him to be more mature in the future.

Xia Tingwei paused for a moment before he thought of something and asked again, “What are you preparing to do about Su Ruoxue?”

“Su Ruoxue?”

There was this flash of malevolence in Xia Wuhui’s eyes, but he didn’t answer carelessly. He muttered for a moment before speaking, “She is just a woman and nothing else! Jiang Yi is currently a raging beast, and it is best to not provoke him now. I think... Su Diwang doesn’t have the guts to give his daughter to Jiang Yi without our permission. This matter can be delayed for now.”

“Alright!”

Xia Tingwei was even more pleased now as he nodded and said, “Wuhui. You must remember that everything can be forsaken in this world. As the Crown Prince and a future ruler, you always have to consider the benefits of the kingdom. Anything can be sacrificed and forsaken... for the kingdom. Alright now, you are dismissed.”

Xia Wuhui bowed deeply and walked out calmly. Xia Tingwei sat by himself for a moment before he spoke loudly, “Invite Bieli over for a moment.”

“Yes!”

A shadow appeared from a corner and swiftly went out. Fifteen minutes later, Jiang Bieli walked in with large steps and bowed with cupped hands. “My King, did you look for me?”

“En!”

Xia Tingwei walked down and spoke with a concerned expression, “Bieli... our perfect plan has been ruined by your son. This son of yours sure is tormenting. What should we do about this?”

“He isn’t my son! I do not have a son like this!”

Jiang Bieli spoke apathetically, “Jiang Yi is just like Yi Piaopiao who is demonic and would create huge trouble sooner or later. This plan was actually perfect, but it was a pity that it got ruined by Jiang Yi. However, the Great Xia Kingdom and the Saint Spirit Kingdom had suffered severe losses; and the Azure Dragon Empire’s trump cards had been forced out while suffering losses as while. It was still worth it after all our efforts.”

“Yes...”

Xia Tingwei nodded while his eyes were radiating with light. He then asked with a deep voice, “Are we advancing with phase two of the plan?”

“Of course!”

Jiang Bieli let out a prideful smirk as he spoke firmly, “It will be a pity to let go of such a great opportunity. The situation on the Stellarsky Continent had been stagnant for ten thousand years. What has been together for a long time must be separated, and what has been separated for a long time must be reunited. The world needs change! Let us break out of this stalemate first before the opportunity arises for us to engulf everything and build our own empire.”

“Alright!”

Xia Tingwei was extremely resolved as he ordered. “Bieli. Go make your arrangements. I give you full authority for this matter. Let us put in an all-out effort. The world truly needs a change!”

“Yes! She does!”

Jiang Bieli nodded and smiled faintly. “Don’t worry, my King. As long as there aren’t any mishaps, the world is about to change soon...”
