    The Eldest Princess’ reminder resulted in a slight shift in the Emperor’s eyes. Nevertheless, he continued to hold a pleasant expression on his face.


    Smiling, he turned to face Ji Fengyan. “Fengyan, you have been engaged before?”


    Here ites. Ji Fengyan had a humble smile on her face while smirking inside. “Yes. However, it is all in the past.”


    “Oh?” The Emperor raised his eyebrows. “Why do you say so?”


    Ji Fengyan gave a slight purse of her lips. “We were still children when the betrothal took ce. Growing up, we found that we were not suitable for each other and mutually separated.”


    The Emperor chuckled. “Surely you jest. You have barely reached the age of 15 and are still but a half-grown kid. There are many things in this world you have yet to understand or form a steadfast opinion on. Your betrothal was decided upon by the Ji family only after deep consideration. I advise you not to annul it simply due to a whim. Moreover, you will be enrolling in the institute soon. ording to the Terminator rules, you should have long been betrothed, after which the marriage will take ce when you return from the institute.”


    The Emperor spoke in an amiable tone, but one could not overlook the resolution behind his words.


    Marriage matters for Terminators were usually settled from a young age. At that time, they were still not Terminators but the sessors. Their matrimonial ns were alsorgely decided by the family elders. Upon taking over the World-Termination-Armour, the major events in their lives would ur at an elerated pace: bing a City Lord, entering the institute, getting married, bearing children, going up to the battlefield... until finally dying on the battlefield.


    So one could say the fate of every Terminator had already been determined the moment they took on the title. There was no exception.


    To themon folk, this was the rightful path of a Terminator. Regarding Ji Fengyan’s situation, calling off her engagement after inheriting the World-Termination-Armour was a rare case.


    Consequently, the Emperor adopted a matter-of-fact tone when discussing this matter. He seemed to imply that Ji Fengyan had been too willful when handling her matrimonial affairs.


    Ji Fengyan listened obediently but was disapproving on the inside. She would never regard the title of Terminator as her only identity.


    “Your ex-fiance was called Lei Min—a descendant of an offshoot of the Lei family, right? I have met him before. He appeared like a handsome and capable young man. Lingxi has exined to me the problems between you two. What happened in past generations belong in the past and have nothing to do with you two. It will be a pity to discount your close ties since childhood for the murder.” The Emperor coaxed in a kindly manner. However, his every word made Ji Fengyan feel increasingly edgy.


    Listening to the Emperor’s speech, Ji Fengyan could already guess how the Eldest Princess had exined the grudge between her and the Lei father and son. She had probably drastically toned down the severity of the matter.


    “Your Majesty, you have summoned me here today to discuss Lei Min?” Ji Fengyan couldn’t be bothered to ‘beat around the bush’ with the Emperor. She might as well just bring the issue out in the open.


    The Emperor nodded with a smile.


    Ji Fengyan nced at the Eldest Princess Du Lingxi with a cold smile.


    “Then Your Majesty should know that I had killed Lei Min’s father with my own hands. The killing of a father is an unforgivable act. Making Lei Min marry his enemy, would that not bepletely outrageous?” Ji Fengyan didn’t cover up her past actions.


    Stunned, the Emperor appeared at a loss for what to do.
