At this time, Jianshi had an indescribable dilemma. Their Wenren n had to please Li Qiye now. Both the ns didn’t want a public trial. Regardless of the result, it would end well for them.


    “Brother Li, will you go easy on us? Just tell me whatever you want and I’ll discuss it with the ancestors.” Jianshi was on the verge of begging.


    He could be considered the starter to this whole mess since he knew that Li Qiye was fake. However, the guy was only doing this for fun while the Wenren n was in a hurry to end this. He didn’t expect this reckless decision would eventually reach an uncontroble juncture.


    “Why do you think that this must be a bad thing?” Li Qiye smiled: “Maybe this is a once in a thousand years opportunity for your n.”


    “I don’t see that at all.” He smiled wryly: “If something goes wrong, our n will face a disaster. I’m the one at fault here, if you want revenge, just do whatever you want to me. I hope that you can go easy on our n. It’ll be very benevolence of you!”


    “Alright.” Li Qiye gently waved his sleeve: “I know what you are saying. Just wait to see the actual oue before crying doom and gloom. You’ll see soon.”


    Such a response only further perplexed Jianshi since he didn’t know what Li Qiye wanted at all!


    “Sis, you talk to him too.” In the end, he ced all hope on Lurui and took his leave.


    Lurui didn’t know what to say either. In fact, she knew as much about Li Qiye as her brother. Jianshi thought that Lurui knew him and could perhaps convince him.


    “Young Noble Li, what are you looking for?” Jianshi said seriously: “If you are willing to stand by the Wenren’s side, I can give you my life.”


    He chuckled in response: “Have you thought about what will happen to your daughter after this mess is over? Will I stay as a fake forever? When will she find out about her real father? Does she even know now?”


    Lurui became dejected after hearing this since she knew that this secret shouldn’t be revealed.


    “It’s simple. If this matter is quelled, your daughter will never have the chance toe out. Even if the Wenren n epts her, she’ll only be a bastard, a mortal, someone who will spend her life under disdainful nces. Even if you could take her away from this n, what will she do? Follow you for the rest of her life without knowing her father? Even if she does, she can’t im him either.” He said tly.


    Lurui took a deep breath and looked up: “I know that it’s all my fault. I’ve brought this on her. But the Wenren n is still my family and her father’s family. Given the chance, both of us will pay whatever price to protect it!”


    “I know.” He spoke again: “However, your daughter has a fateful connection with me so I don’t want to see her being chastised as a bastard, spending the rest of her life while keeping her head down. Thus, I shall give her a chance.”


    “I don’t understand.” Lurui was dazed.


    “This is her fortune.” Li Qiye continued: “It’s just that you don’t know your daughter’s worth and potential.”


    “But...” She said: “A public trial is not good for anyone. It’ll bring downfall and the only oneughing, in the end, will be Soaring Hawk.”


    “I’ll be the only oneughing in the end. Soaring Hawk is nothing.” Li Qiye said with a smile.


    Lurui became quiet from not knowing Li Qiye at all.


    “Young Noble Li, that state might invite the Sky Dragon King. At that point, even if you have a n, I’m afraid you can’t control the situation. No one can change the king’s decision.” She slowly spected.


    “We can satisfy your demand and end this problem first before dealing with other issues.” She requested earnestly.


    She tried her best to protect the Wenren n since she would always be a part of this family. Thus, she was willing to give up her life when necessary.


    “Why do you think the ruling of the dragon king will be unfavorable? Don’t have such a pessimistic view.” Heughed.


    “Young Noble Li, maybe you don’t know too much about the Crouching Dragon Continent. In this ce, our n is only a small sect, not even part of any top ranking or be considered a second-rate power. Even the Soaring Hawk is only barely considered a country. You think the dragon king will care about a sect like us? Maybe Soaring Hawk and their allies could use this opportunity and get the king to destroy us.” She spoke seriously.


    The failed marriage was their own matter in her eyes. This only rted to the Wenren and Dongfang ns. It didn’t matter how much of a scene they made, an alliance would still be there in the end.


    However, the situation has escted outside of their control. They didn’t mind being enemies with the Soaring Hawk. After all, tension has always run high. Moreover, their ns’ territory has been verified by the Crouching Dragon Cliff.


    Nevertheless, they feared the involvement of this sect since they were only insects inparison. Not to mention the Sky Dragon King, just any character of the elder level would be able to annihte their ns.


    In the trial, even if the king could issue a fair verdict, they would lose all face afterward. The king might even have a bad impression of their ns and abandon them or even remove their status in the continent.


    “No big deal. We’ll talk after the king is here.” He casually smiled.


    Li Qiye then waved his sleeve: “Let’s go. I have already decided what to do. Oh right, tell your brother to take good care of your daughter or I’ll hold him responsible if anything were to happen.”


    Lurui understood that there was no persuading Li Qiye. She sighed gently and left.


    Li Qiye smiled and looked out the window: “Pretty Xuan, you have been interested in your cliff’s bloodline, right? Then I shall give you a chance. An ancient lineage shall surface again from the depth.” With that, he closed his eyes as if sleeping.


    Today, both ns received the news that Soaring Hawk and several great powers demanded a trial for Li Qiye. It was an official message as well.


    This country worked quite hard. In just one day, they made several powers send a letter to the Sky Dragon King and ask her to preside over this problem.


    She was on a patrol tour across the continent nearby. To everyone’s surprise, she actually epted right away.


    In fact, even Soaring Hawk found this astonishing. Their country has been wanting toin to the cliff about the ns several times. Their goal was to rely on the cliff’s attitude to gain a favorable position before destroying the ns. However, theirints were always dismissed.


    They didn’t have that much hope this time either. However, a positive reply left them in disbelief.


    Meanwhile, the ancestors of the two ns were frightened after finding out that the Sky Dragon King will personally take charge in the trial. These old men werepletely helpless in this iing crisis.
