Celestial Night Emperor

Chapter 130: Chapter 130: Going to the Banquet Alone

Qin Tianxuan was speechless. ”Come here. When Shuanghua was still alive, she mentioned you. She really praised your independence, saying you’ve been on your own since you were little.”

Ye Xuanxuan didn’t like this man talking about her sister!

In her mind, Ye Shuanghua was the embodiment of perfection!

Ever since she was a child, she had always thought her sister was the most beautiful and kindest woman in the world.

’But why would her perfect sister end up with such a useless man?’

Ye Xuanxuan’s face was filled with disgust. ”I just came to see for myself how useless you really are! Why would my goddess of a sister ever fall for you?!”

Lingsu was furious.

Qin Tianxuan gently squeezed her hand. ”You can head out for now. I’ll have a chat with my sister-in-law.”

”Be careful, Mr. Qin. Besides Lady Shuanghua, there isn’t a single good person in the Divine Doctor Ye Family!”

Ye Xuanxuan heard this and rubbed her nose with a naive pout. ”Hey, pretty lady, you don’t have to whisper. I’ll admit it: between the Qin Family and the Ye Family in the Imperial Capital, good people are in short supply. But me? I’m not one of the bad ones!”

’This girl is a little nuts,’ Lingsu thought.

She stood up to leave, warning Ye Xuanxuan on her way out, ”Mr. Qin hasn’t fully recovered. Don’t bother him for too long!”

In the spacious Battle Department field hospital tent, only Ye Xuanxuan and Qin Tianxuan remained.

Ye Xuanxuan suddenly felt a pang of fear. She pulled her windbreaker tighter around herself and took a small step back.

Qin Tianxuan frowned. ”Are you afraid of me?”

Ye Xuanxuan huffed. ”The moment I walked in, I wasn’t wearing much, and you kept staring at my chest. You pervert! I was honestly afraid you’d suddenly... suddenly try something!”

Qin Tianxuan’s face went dark. ”I am your brother-in-law! And you’re my sister-in-law. I’m supposed to look out for you like a big brother, and this is what you say to me?”

He was so shocked his wounds nearly split open again.

Only then did Ye Xuanxuan cautiously approach, sizing him up with great effort. ”Hmm, if you shaved, you would be a little handsome, and you have a great build... Maybe my sister only liked you for your looks!”

Qin Tianxuan was displeased. ”Shuanghua never judged people by their looks. When I met her, I was covered in injuries. My wounds were festering and reeking, and I was filthier than a vagrant. But she wasn’t the least bit disgusted and healed me! You will not insult Shuanghua!”

Ye Xuanxuan blinked. ”Oh? So you’re quite devoted to my sister. Well, whatever. I just came to take a look and satisfy my curiosity. And now? I’m thoroughly disappointed!”

She still had that same look of contempt. ”Look at this pathetic sight. I just read the battle report. Lord Night Emperor annihilated the Celestial Demon, and there’s about to be a celebration. And look at the Night Emperor’s men—every single one is a hero. Not like you, faking an injury to lie around here and stay off the battlefield!”

The more Ye Xuanxuan spoke, the more disdainful she became. ”I truly look down on you!”

Qin Tianxuan leaned weakly against his pillow. ”That’s enough. Have you ever seen the Night Emperor?”

A blush crept up Ye Xuanxuan’s face. ”No, I haven’t. But he’s my ultimate idol. I’ve been searching for him on this second line of defense for days, but I haven’t had any luck. I didn’t even see the man himself during the live stream of the victory banquet, I only heard his laugh.”

As she spoke, she started to gush like a lovestruck fan, endlessly rambling about how amazing the Night Emperor was.

Qin Tianxuan was growing tired. He picked up a nearby card, dipped a finger into the blood on his own body, and wrote his phone number on it.

He held it out to Ye Xuanxuan. ”Contact me if you need anything. You’re Shuanghua’s only sister. I’ll take care of you!”

With a look of pure disgust, Ye Xuanxuan recoiled from it. ”Ew, that’s so filthy! I don’t want it. And me, need *you* to take care of me? Are you kidding?!”

With that, she turned and walked out.

Qin Tianxuan gently pressed a button by his side.

A Personal Guard appeared.

”Your orders, Sir?”

”Issue a Night Emperor’s Order. Detain Ye Xuanxuan. Do not allow her to leave this area!”

Qin Tianxuan had already resolved to make his move against the Qin Family and the Ye Family. To prevent Ye Xuanxuan from getting caught up in the ensuing chaos, he had to keep her there for a few days.

A moment later, Ye Xuanxuan’s shouts echoed from outside. ”What are you doing? Are you trying to arrest me? Do you know who I am?”

”Huh? Wait, you’re the Night Emperor’s men? Oh, then there’s no need to arrest me, I’ll come with you! I’m Ye Xuanxuan. Hey, do you think you can get me the Night Emperor’s autograph?”

’This girl...’

Qin Tianxuan slowly drifted off to sleep. He awoke the next day feeling clear-headed and refreshed, his injuries healing with remarkable speed.

Moreover, after the bloody battle and duel at Longshou Hill, he could feel his power had once again increased.

That morning, after he finished the field rations Lingsu had prepared, a representative of the Celestial Pavilion Elders arrived.

”Lord Night Emperor, the Battle Department’s victory banquet is being reconvened. This time, it is to honor your achievements. We implore you to attend!”

A cold look entered Qin Tianxuan’s eyes. ”Are the people from the Qin and Ye Families there?”

”Reporting, my lord. None of them left. They are all on-site!”

Qin Tianxuan vaulted to his feet and threw on a brand-new battle robe, clad for war!

He stowed the military dagger that had been with him for years, shaved his beard, and then issued a cold command: ”Dark Prison Hall, prepare yourselves. We make our move today! The Qin Family and the Ye Family... leave no one alive!”

Battle Pavilion Wutian and his men had just received the highest commendation from the Imperial Capital, with everyone being promoted three ranks!

Wutian now held the rank of Grand General of Divine Martial, just one step away from becoming a Celestial King.

The Night Emperor’s other subordinates had also received their own rewards!

Even Li Changshan and his men had received the Imperial Capital’s highest medals!

Right now, they were waiting anxiously outside, worried about Qin Tianxuan’s injuries.

Qin Tianxuan emerged slowly, giving them a smile and a nod. ”I’m heading to the Battle Department.”

”Be careful, my lord. The Qin and Ye Families are desperate now. They’ve brought a lot of experts with them. What we’re trying to say is...”

Qin Tianxuan waved his hand dismissively. ”It’s of no concern.”

With just those few words, his subordinates were completely at ease.

They knew their lord was a master strategist who left nothing to chance; he must have already prepared for this.

”I will go alone. The rest of you, be ready to take over the Northern Domain’s line of defense! Also, I may be completely resigning from all my duties this time and formally retiring.” Before anyone could object, he continued, his tone heavy with emphasis, ”You all must understand, in my current position, there are many things I’m not at liberty to do. Only by resigning can I avenge my late mother! And only then can I get justice for Shuanghua!”

No one dared to argue any further.

And so, Qin Tianxuan arrived at the Battle Department’s victory banquet—all by himself.
