    Upon hearing this voice, Chu Liuyue’s heart tingled, and she turned around to look.


    The few elders instantly saw her appearance even more clearly. But after momentary shock and tion, the few of them seemed uncertain.?<i>This face… It is indeed rather simr to the young woman in our memory—especially her appearance and behavior seem to havee from the same mold. However, her age doesn’t seem right! A few years have passed, and that girl should be in her twenties now. However, the Shangguan Yue standing in the square clearly seems to be only 17 or 18 years old.?</i>


    “Something seems to be off…” muttered Elder Hua Feng. “S-she’s not Yue’er Girlie… right?”


    Actually, he couldn’t be sure either. During the past few months, he became acquainted with her. There were indeed a few times when he saw a familiar figure from her. However, those thoughts were quickly dispelled by him.?<i>Appearance, age, aura—everything is different! Besides, if it really is her, how did none of us discover it for such a long time? Was it her acting that was too good, or… are they twopletely different people??</i>


    Elder Bo Yan was rather uncertain as well. He knitted his brows and clutched the chair handle tightly. After thinking for a moment, he couldn’t help but say, “She’s not. She went up the Qing Yun Ranking previously.”


    If things were really like they guessed, then her ‘Chu Yue’ name wouldn’t have sessfully appeared on the Qing Yun Ranking!


    Elder Hua Feng paused for a moment. “But… they’re too simr!”


    Not only their appearance, but more importantly, their attitude and temper!


    Ling Xiao Academy had been established for so many years, and there were only these two students who could cause so much trouble.


    One couldn’t help but be doubtful.


    “Wan Zheng, what do you think?” asked Elder Bo Yan softly.?<i>As her mentor, he should know better than us, right??</i>


    However, Elder Wan Zheng didn’t speak for a long time and stared at Chu Liuyue in the square.


    Countless thoughts shed across his mind, and it became chaotic. But when he wanted to think about it carefully, his mind was nk.


    Too many things had happened today, and his entire person was dazed.


    “Wan Zheng?” Elder Bo Yan called him rather uneasily.


    Elder Wan Zheng’s lips moved, and he finally said with much difficulty, “If she really is… is she still considered as my disciple?”


    <i>Back then, Yue’er Girlie had acknowledged the director as her mentor!?</i>


    Elder Bo Yan and the rest didn’t expect him to be thinking of this at this moment, and they were instantly stumped.


    After a moment, Elder Hua Feng patted his shoulders. “Listen to fate then!”


    …


    Chu Liuyue faintly heard them talking, and she felt helpless and amused at the same time. She knew what they were looking at and what they were guessing…


    <i>Seeing this face that is extremely simr to the one before, it would be inevitable. I should just exin it to them after everything ends…?</i>Thinking of this, Chu Liuyue looked at Jiang Hetian again.


    At this point, Jiang Hetian was so angry that he left furiously.


    Initially, he came here today to expose Shangguan Yue in public and trample on her feet. It would’ve been great if he could take the chance to pull her down from her position as the princess consort.


    Disguising herself and lying to the crowd! How many people would she offend?


    However, he never expected that this Shangguan Yue wasn’t weak! Not only did she not feel guilty or awkward from being exposed, but she became even more daring and directly fought with him!


    <i>She even said that she wanted my life! Where did she get this confidence from?!?</i>Jiang Hetian was so angry that heughed and turned to look at Rong Xiu. “Your Grace, you’ve seen the current situation. Do you have nothing to say?”


    I don’t believe that Rong Xiu will sacrifice the entire Fairy Water Mound for a Shangguan Yue!


    Rong Xiu stroked his chin. After thinking for a moment, he said, “He should be executed for scheming against the princess consort and having ill intentions!”


    His voice was low and nonchnt like the wind strumming the harp—elegant and smooth. However, every single word he said was like the sharpest de—cold and terrifying!


    Harsh murderous intent spread around uncontrobly! The surrounding air froze inch by inch.


    All the messy noises instantly disappeared.


    The scene seemed as though it was frozen.


    Everyone looked at Rong Xiu incredulously in shock.?<i>Execute… Did Rong Xiu say this word just now?!?</i>


    Jiang Hetian was also dazed. He originally wanted to use Fairy Water Mound to threaten Rong Xiu to appear. However, he didn’t expect Rong Xiu to stand on Shangguan Yue’s side without hesitation!?<i>Rong Xiu even directly said that he wants to kill me! He is the Sky-Cloud Empire’s His Grace! Every single sentence and word he says is thew, and it can’t be defied! He said… to kill me?!?</i>


    “Your Grace!” Jiang Hetian suddenly raised his voice. It was sharp and rather piercing. “You… really want to give up on Fairy Water Mound?!”


    Fairy Water Mound was the head of the 28 divisions. If Rong Xiu wanted to pit himself against Jiang Hetian, Fairy Water Mound would definitely be in chaos! In the end, the Sky-Cloud Empire would still be harmed!


    How could Rong Xiu not understand this?!


    But upon hearing this, the corner of Rong Xiu’s lips curled up slightly, and he raised his brows as he looked at Jiang Hetian. “Master Jiang, I should be the one asking you this. Ever since you colluded with the enemies and schemed to harm the princess consort—even trying to control the Sky-Cloud Empire—you should’ve thought of today!”


    Jiang Hetian felt as if he had dropped into an ice hole! “W-what did you say…”


    He instantly felt guilty; even his voice was wavering.


    Rong Xiu stood up. His figure was big and tall.


    Once he stood up, his elegance was pressurizing, and his aura oppressive. He instantly produced an extremely strong suppression!


    “Yue’er,e over.” He waved toward Chu Liuyue.


    Chu Liuyue walked toward him.


    Rong Xiu carefully wiped away a drop of blood that identally stained her face.


    His fingertips were warm, and his actions were restrained yet gentle, with indescribable dominance and elegance.


    The crowd was stunned. Who had seen the harsh and decisive Sky-Cloud Empire’s His Grace treat someone so gently?


    Then, Rong Xiu shot Jiang Zhiyuan an extremely faint gaze. “I’ll give you and your father 15 minutes to do thest goodbye and… decide who should die first.”
