Until she left the main building, Xu Yue'Er remained bewildered.
She looked at Xu Qin'Er beside her, wanting to ask what exactly had happened.
But Xu Qin'Er clutched a dagger, her whole body stiff, her lips trembling incessantly.
Xu Yue'Er hesitated, and ultimately didn't ask.
Xu Qin'Er was in a poor state, and Xu Yue'Er felt it was better not to provoke her.
Xu Qin'Er mechanically walked forward, and only after leaving the Yao Family's main residence did her complexion improve a bit.
Seeing this, Xu Yue'Er quickly asked, "Sister Qin'Er, what happened just now? Why did the female official beside the Crown Prince give you a dagger? You looked so pale earlier, did something happen?"
Xu Qin'Er glanced down at the dagger in her hand, her lips quivered as she trembled and said, "The family's worship of the Evil God has crossed the Great Xia Court's line. The Crown Prince implies that we should become the spokespersons for the Four Seas Dragon Race and eliminate those Dragons who worship the Evil God, or else the entire Four Seas Dragon Race will be annihilated."
"How is that possible?" Xu Yue'Er exclaimed with wide eyes, "Our father is still alive, and we have the elders of the older generation. With them around, how could we possibly become the spokespersons for the Dragon Race!"
As Xu Yue'Er spoke, she shook her head repeatedly: "Even if father and the elders were all dead, it wouldn't be our turn to take charge! The rule of the Dragon Race is that the sons lead. We are dragon daughters, born with the mission of the Dragon Race's propagation. Even if we became spokespeople for the Dragon Race, the sons and grandsons of the Four Seas wouldn't listen to us!"
Xu Qin'Er nodded with difficulty, a bitter expression on her face: "You're right, we are dragon daughters, it's impossible for us to be the Dragon Race's spokespeople! But..."
At this point, she looked at the dagger in her hand, lost in thought: "But this is the Dragon Race's only chance. If we can't become the Dragon Race's spokespeople, there will be no more Dragon Race in the Four Seas!"
Hearing this, Xu Yue'Er was startled: "Could it be that serious? Our Dragon Race annually gives substantial tributes to the Great Xia Court, not to mention countless treasures gifted to the Crown Prince. Even just for those treasures, the Crown Prince wouldn't wipe out the Four Seas Dragon Race!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Qin'Er's eyes revealed a glimmer of hope: "Is that really true?"
Xu Yue'Er firmly nodded: "Really! Although the Crown Prince appears stern, he is actually a good person. He wouldn't do such a thing!"
The more Xu Qin'Er thought about it, the more she felt Xu Yue'Er's words made sense, and the heart that had been suspended began to gradually settle down.
Suddenly, Xu Yue'Er thought of something and asked Xu Qin'Er: "Sister Qin'Er, what exactly is 'Ling'? Why did the Crown Prince become so angry? Would worshiping 'Ling' lead to the extermination of our tribe? Is 'Ling' the Evil God?"
When Xu Qin'Er heard the name "Ling," her expression changed drastically.
Just as she was about to speak, suddenly a commotion was heard from the distant site of the Immortal Sect.
The two were simultaneously stunned, then grabbed a hurried cultivator, curiously asking, "Senior Brother, what happened over there?"
The cultivator's face was flustered and looked very unpleasant when stopped unexpectedly, but seeing two stunning dragon daughters, he immediately suppressed his anger.
He responded: "Prince Zhi of the Great Xia Dynasty died at the Four Seas Commerce Headquarters, the Great Xia Crown Prince went there with people before."
"Is that all?" Xu Yue'Er shook her head, "Why the fuss over such a trivial matter?"
As Xu Yue'Er spoke these words, she felt a sense of superiority.
She not only knew that Zhao Yi had left Yao Family Town but also knew that Zhao Yi had returned.
These people, never having seen the world, howl over the slightest thing.
Beside her, Xu Qin'Er smiled apologetically towards the cultivator, apologizing: "Senior Brother, my younger sister is young and ignorant, please don't hold it against her. Please continue, what happened when Crown Prince went to the Four Seas Commerce Headquarters? Did they catch the culprit who killed Prince Zhi?"
For some reason, Xu Qin'Er suddenly had a foreboding feeling.
She recalled how Zhao Yi had bluntly revealed that the Four Seas Dragon Race also worshipped the Evil God.
This implied that Zhao Yi had already clashed with the Evil God at the Four Seas Commerce.
At this thought, Xu Qin'Er became tense.
The outcome of Zhao Yi's confrontation with the Evil God was critical to the Dragon Race.
If Zhao Yi lost, the Dragon Race still had leeway.
If Zhao Yi won, the doomsday of the Dragon Race would be near.
Xu Yue'Er was too beautiful, even after questioning him, the cultivator didn't hold a grudge.
Moreover, the matter of the Four Seas Commerce was too significant; his mind was flustered and he didn't bother arguing with Xu Yue'Er.
He said with a horrified expression: "The Great Xia Crown Prince went to the Four Seas Commerce, but couldn't find the murderer of Prince Zhi."
Upon hearing this, Xu Qin'Er's eyes suddenly lit up.
Zhao Yi failed?
This was good news!
Upon hearing this, Xu Yue'Er's face, however, showed a worried expression.
She knew Prince Zhi was Zhao Yi's own uncle.
With Prince Zhi dead and Zhao Yi unable to find the murderer, he must be deeply saddened!
Xu Yue'Er hesitated a bit.
She pondered whether to go back and comfort Zhao Yi.
Otherwise, he would be too pitiful!
If Xu Qin'Er knew Xu Yue'Er's thoughts, she would undoubtedly have slapped her!
That guy was about to drive their entire clan to death.
Yet Xu Yue'Er found that demon pitiful.
The pitiful ones were the Dragons of the Four Seas!
Xu Qin'Er's smile just began to appear, but before she could laugh, she heard the cultivator continue.
Noticing his unusual state, Xu Qin'Er asked with concern: "Senior Brother, what happened to you?"
The cultivator, pale-faced and teetering, seemed almost terrified enough to lose control.
Hearing Xu Qin'Er's words, he spoke with difficulty: "I'm fine; I am just shocked by the ruthlessness of the Great Xia Zhao Clan!"
Xu Qin'Er hurriedly asked: "Senior Brother, what exactly happened?"
The man took a deep breath and said: "The Great Xia Crown Prince at the Four Seas Commerce Headquarters couldn't find Prince Zhi's killer, so he ordered the death of everyone."
At this, the man swallowed hard: "The Imperial Guard of Great Xia dug three feet into the ground at the Four Seas Commerce Headquarters, leaving no one alive! Tens of thousands at the Four Seas Commerce Headquarters, in one day, everyone was beheaded! Blood flowed like a river, corpses littered the fields, overwhelming resentment, as if a domain of demons!"
Gulp!
Xu Yue'Er swallowed hard.
She jerked her head to look at Xu Qin'Er, exclaiming in horror: "Sister, you just said..."
Before she could finish, Xu Qin'Er covered her mouth.
Xu Qin'Er gratefully said to the cultivator: "Thank you, Senior Brother, for clarifying! We sisters have some matters to attend to, we'll take our leave first!"
The cultivator, enchanted by their stunning beauty, even forgot his fear.
Hearing Xu Qin'Er's intention to leave, he quickly said: "Dragon Lady, I am a sword cultivator from the Luofu Sect, named Chen Sea. May I have your name, so that we might have tea and discuss life and ideals together sometime?"
Xu Qin'Er forced a dry laugh, grabbed Xu Yue'Er, and hurriedly left.
After they were a good distance away, Xu Qin'Er released Xu Yue'Er.
She took from her waist the dagger that Linglong had given her and fell into deep thought.
