The Feng Zun Journey
His expression changed
Only a handful supported Long Changhan, maybe seven or eight people.
Whereas Long Yunheng had a few more supporters, at least ten people.
And the rest of the imperial family chose to remain neutral.
When he saw this, Long Liyuan coughed and waved his hand, suppressing the debate.
Only after everyone fell silent and turned their eyes to him did he say grimly, “Dating will ultimately be of no use to us. I think we should act as Second Elder suggested and prioritize the safety of the imperial family. We really cannot protect Feng Zun anymore!”
First Elder Long Changhan's expression darkened, and when he was just about to say something, yet Long Liyuan interrupted him,
“This has been decided, you also know that when before His Majesty left, he had entrusted me to handle all the affairs of the Imperial Family. I must prioritize the collective safety of all of us. First Elder, if you disagree, you may wait until Your Majesty returns and submits your charges!"
He spoke with true certainty, and his expression was solemn. “In short, I did this out of consideration for the entire imperial clan. If this is wrong, I am willing to take the blame. I will never change my decision!”
Second Elder Long Yunheng immediately exclaimed, "If this is wrong, we are willing to share the burden of responsibility with Third Elder!"
Many others chimed in to voice their agreement.
After all, Feng Zun was only an outsider. Who would be willing to wreak havoc on himself just for the sake of outsiders?
When he saw this, Long Changhan and those who stood with him could only fall silent, their expressions unsightly. However, they all knew that there was nothing they could do to change this decision.
“Everything, you don't have to worry about Feng Zun's attitude. He alone has triggered this disaster, and it is up to him to bear the consequences. How can he blame us for not helping him?”
When he said that, Long Liyuan's face was filled with indifference, and again said, “In addition, against the combined threat of the ten ancient factions..
When these words were spoken, the large hall was instantly silent. Every leading person present, revealed different expressions.
When he saw that the First Elder no longer had anything to say, Long Liyuan sighed and muttered to himself, "Otoritas...is truly the most charming thing in this world!"
He thought for a moment, then said, “Tomorrow morning, I will send someone to invite Feng Zun to Tianmang Mountain to talk about this. I will personally tell him about the attitude of the Imperial Family. I believe that if he is smart, he will not dare to harbor hatred for our decision.”
He stopped here, then glanced at a corner of the hall, where Long Qingyuan was seated. "How do you see this, Your Highness the Princess?"
Everyone present looked over.
Long Qingyuan sat at the end of the hall, on the most inconspicuous chair.
When he sensed their gazes, he smiled faintly and said, “I will not interfere in the internal affairs of the clan, because the Emperor has entrusted everything to you. Everything will be as you say, Third Elder. ”
Hearing that, Long Liyuan could only laugh out loud, “Your Highness Princess Qingyuan, you have a deep understanding of the task. If the Emperor knew, he would definitely feel very grateful with my decision!”
"Since you plan to call Feng Zun tomorrow, I will come and tell him." Long Qingyuan said casually.
Long Liyuan laughed, then he said, “Your Highness Princess, remember how high your status is? There's no need for you to do something so trivial, I just need to send a waiter."
Long Qingyuan shook her head, she said “I have a bond with Feng Zun, because she will soon face a great disaster, although I cannot help her, at least I should appear.”
After a short pause, Long Liyuan was stunned, he looked pleased, “You are really kind. In that case, try persuading Feng Zun. Make sure he understands his position, and does not do anything out of bounds. Otherwise, he would only find himself in endless trouble."
Long Liyuan nodded in agreement.
That very night, Long Qingyuan left the imperial palace and headed straight for the Qinglong Courtyard.
……
It was the night before dawn, and the wind carried the air that felt extremely cold.
When Long Qingyuan arrived at the Qinglong Courtyard, Feng Zun had just finished cultivating, and he was preparing for a break.
“What are you doing here this late? Do you want to meet Miss Yin or has something happened?”
Feng Zun sat in his chair, looking puzzled.
At a glance she knew that the woman had many things on her mind, her beautiful face filled with worries that could not be hidden.
“Brother Feng, I did not expect that there would be so many things that would happen, when you just returned from the Eternal Lotus Island.”
Long Qingyuan said in a desperate tone.
He then hurriedly explained all and what had just happened in the imperial palace.
When he heard the whole story, Feng Zun could not help but laugh, “It was just a trivial matter. What was the need for the Imperial Family to be so tense?"
"Trivial matter?"
Long Qingyuan's beautiful eyes widened, and she said frantically, “We are in a panic until our eyebrows seem to be on fire! How can you call that a trivial matter?"
Feng Zun was stunned.
Then, he ignored his worries and said, "Don't panic, in my eyes Long Liyuan's decision was correct. It was I who killed those people, and I alone had to bear the consequences. It was normal for the imperial family not to want to interfere."
He laughed, then said calmly, “In addition, I have never, and never will, rely on the Imperial Family to protect me from the storm.”
When his eyes met with the concerned look of the woman, his voice softened, “You don't have to worry about this, they are just the remains of some fifty thousand year old faction, he said, I'm not at all daunted by them.”
Long Qingyuan's expression flickered with uncertainty. After a while, he whispered, “But.. Third Elder..”.
The woman lowered her head, not daring to return Feng Zun's gaze, then said hesitantly, “Third Elders hold Zhuan Long.”
"Oh, so she's brave?"
Feng Zun's calm eyes suddenly shifted, and his expression changed.
The atmosphere was instantly silent and oppressive.
Outside the window, a cold wind roared and roiled.
