I See the Aura of the Great Emperor in All My Disciples

Chapter 1630: Chapter 1630: Mu Fusheng Finally Sees the Light

Eyes shimmered, as if ice and snow were melting, dotted with twinkling stars.

The grand hall, originally bleak and dark, was suddenly bathed in sunlight sneaking in from the entrance, shining upon Mu Fusheng’s silhouette, radiating splendor.

Jiu Bailu watched Mu Fusheng at the entrance of the grand hall, his figure aglow reflecting in her thawing eyes, as if the light was melting the ice.

Watching her gaze, everyone could sense Jiu Bailu’s obvious emotional shift.

If, before this man’s arrival, Jiu Bailu was like an eternal iceberg exuding an aura warning others to keep their distance,

Then now, the iceberg had completely dissolved, revealing a tender and vibrant spring beneath.

Seeing this, Jiu Xuan frowned and muttered in a low voice, ”Previously, she claimed she was only interested in Brother Mu, and now she’s transformed into this state.”

It seemed that the saying was true.

When a woman takes an interest in a man, it’s the beginning of her fall.

Ji Yang, after a brief moment of surprise, quickly deduced Mu Fusheng’s identity.

He was the male lead rumored to be close to Jiu Bailu.

Jealousy flared in his heart.

Although he could not say he had any real feelings for Jiu Bailu, he was merely fond of her due to her unique constitution, as well as her reputation as the first beauty of the Chaos Realm.

But now, the Seven Treasures Saint Sect had officially proposed an alliance through marriage to the Nine Dragon Divine Dynasty.

The proud Ji Yang naturally assumed, unilaterally, that Jiu Bailu was already his woman.

This possessive desire irritated him immensely when he observed the starkly different emotions that Jiu Bailu exhibited towards him compared to this man.

Extremely irritated!

Someone accustomed to being high above like Ji Yang would not suppress their emotions when displeased, and would express it outright.

”Jiu Bailu is here, but she cannot simply leave with an unrelated man,” he said, rising to his feet, his piercing gaze clashing with Mu Fusheng’s.

Asserting dominion.

Mu Fusheng merely glanced at Ji Yang before turning his gaze back to Jiu Bailu.

Their eyes met.

Jiu Bailu smiled.

Mu Fusheng, after a sigh of relief, couldn’t help but return the smile.

”Based on your personality, I thought you wouldn’t come so soon,” Jiu Bailu chuckled.

Mu Fusheng replied, ”Are you so certain I would come? According to what you know of me, I shouldn’t be meddling in these troubled waters, right?”

”It’s precisely because I understand you that I was sure you would come,” Jiu Bailu teased Mu Fusheng.

It was as if she was saying, I know you love me.

Mu Fusheng’s ears reddened, and to cover his shyness, he huffed, ”You’re still so presumptuous.”

”But I guessed right, didn’t I?” Jiu Bailu laughed.

The two of them bantered so much that even Jiu Xuan couldn’t stand it, poking Jiu Bailu’s arm and saying, ”Royal sister, if you’re going to flirt, at least choose the right place. This atmosphere doesn’t really suit playing around here, does it? Isn’t this a bit too provocative?”

Meanwhile, the other officials exchanged looks of disbelief, thinking... isn’t this a bit too daring?

To simply ignore the Holy Son of the Seven Treasures Saint Sect?

Indeed, Ji Yang’s expression gradually darkened.

Not only did they disregard his presence, but they also flirted in front of him, the ”fiancé,” showing not a hint of respect for him or for the Seven Treasures Saint Sect!

The Nine Dragon Divine Dynasty’s current ruler also felt his heart tense slightly at this scene.

He knew of Mu Fusheng’s existence and was similarly aware of his deep relationship with Jiu Bailu.

From previous investigations and Mu Fusheng’s performance during the academy selection, he also knew that this young man’s talent and strength were extraordinary.

Yet, the Seven Treasures Saint Sect was still one of the top sects of the Cangxuan Continent; their encounters till now were incomparable minor scuffles.

Could he withstand the pressure from the Seven Treasures Saint Sect?

At this moment.

Ji Yang’s gloomy voice came through, ”You should be aware of the marriage alliance between the Seven Treasures Saint Sect and the Nine Dragon Divine Dynasty, right?”

Mu Fusheng finally turned his gaze onto Ji Yang and nodded, ”I’m aware, but it seems that Jiu Bailu hasn’t agreed.”

”Does her agreement matter?” Ji Yang sneered, ”Although it’s quite distasteful to press someone using power, it can be very convenient at times.”

”You should also be aware of how adamant the Seven Treasures Saint Sect is about this. Should you refuse, I’m afraid the Nine Dragon Divine Dynasty will cease to exist.”

A blatant threat.

The face of the current ruler of the Nine Dragon Divine Dynasty darkened, and Jiu Xuan’s eyes were filled with rage.

The other ministers showed expressions of alarm and fear.

Ji Yang looked at everyone’s expressions and couldn’t help but nod with satisfaction, then continued, ”Even setting aside the influence of our forces, do you really think you’re in any way comparable to me? In terms of talent, in terms of strength, I must be much stronger than you, right?”

Mu Fusheng heard this and seriously nodded, ”Indeed...”

However, Mu Fusheng’s tone suddenly changed, ”If it was before, I would have said so and shown weakness to others. But this time, I don’t want to do that.”

Blackie couldn’t help grinning at these words.

This kid, he’s finally wising up!

Jiu Bailu also smiled brightly.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone present, Mu Fusheng stepped forward, approaching Jiu Bailu’s side, ”If she wants to enter into this marriage alliance, then so be it. But if she doesn’t want to, then you have no right to force her.”

”No right? Power is the right!”

Mu Fusheng looked at Ji Yang, his face earnest, ”Since you speak of power, if I defeat you, does that mean you have no right to force Jiu Bailu?”

Upon hearing this, Ji Yang laughed, ”Are you serious?”

”Of course.”

Jiu Xuan interjected from the side, ”Brother Mu, he’s the third ranked on the Cangxuan List, his strength is formidable.”

Mu Fusheng retorted, ”Do you think I wouldn’t have investigated all this before coming here?”

Indeed.

Jiu Xuan shrugged his shoulders, his worried heart finally settling down.

He knew that Mu Fusheng would never fight a battle he wasn’t sure of winning, and he would only take action when he was certain of victory.

Since Mu Fusheng had already done his research and was openly challenging Ji Yang, it meant he was supremely confident he could defeat him!

Ji Yang suddenly sneered, ”Originally, I didn’t need to exert myself to struggle with you, as the difference between our backgrounds and powers is like that between heaven and earth. But defeating you to have Jiu Bailu peaceably marry me isn’t a bad idea.”

But at this moment, Jiu Bailu held Mu Fusheng’s hand, ”Let’s not make too big of a scene, it wouldn’t be good to get hurt in the process.”

Mu Fusheng nodded.

Ji Yang also laughed, ”See, Your Highness understands that you’re no match for me, she’s afraid you’ll get hurt.”

However, Jiu Bailu looked at Ji Yang with a puzzled face, ”What are you talking about? I was worried that you would get seriously injured, and then it would be troublesome if the Seven Treasures Saint Sect came seeking revenge on your behalf.”
