Great, I'm surrounded by villains.

Chapter 167 Destiny
Jiu Yue was the first to walk out of the hall. After going down the stairs, she kicked a stone away, which fortunately did not hit the forehead of an innocent passerby.

This was enough to show that she was really angry, so angry that she even refused to eat the white-feather chicken dinner.

"Pay attention, you are now a patient."

Seeing the little fox stomping its feet, Duan Mingyuan suddenly found it funny and followed behind to remind him.

"Mr. Mingyuan, did you see that? They actually let the heir to the throne wear that kind of clothes and dance that kind of dance!"

When Jiu Yue thought of the Second Prince dancing in his dance costume, she felt aggrieved. She also saw the malicious smiles on the faces of the Tianwaimin people. In their eyes, the Second Prince seemed to be nothing more than a piece of entertainment.

It brought back a lot of bad memories for her.

Although she had no good feelings towards the Second Prince, she was immediately furious when she saw the future successor of the First King being insulted like this. "What sword dance? It's clearly a means of insulting people!"

What’s even more infuriating is that the Second Prince actually agreed, put on that funny outfit, and tried to please the outsiders like a circus clown in public.

The dignitaries in the court turned a blind eye to such insults and instead applauded, as if they really regarded the sword dance as a treasure and the Second Prince as the young First King. However, the young First King would never wear a dance costume and make himself a entertainment for the outsiders.

While in the academy, Jiu Yue was influenced by Duan Mingyuan and also opened the classics that recorded the deeds of the first king.

The young First King pointed the sword in his hand toward the sky, instead of having it tied with two ribbons and floating slowly above the hall as it was now.

"Mr. Mingyuan, aren't you angry?"

Jiu Yue saw Duan Mingyuan's calm face and couldn't help asking.

She felt that Duan Mingyuan's temper was too good, no, it should be said that it was too stable. She had never seen him get ecstatic about something, nor had he ever gotten furious. Even when he was killing people and disposing of bodies, he never showed overly strong emotions.

"Angry? Why are you angry?"

"Those aliens look down on us!"

"What's new about this?" Duan Mingyuan touched Jiuyue's head to help her calm down, and then asked, "Jiuyue, why do you think the Third Prince asked us to attend this dinner?"

The third prince hoped that he could judge the chaos in the court through his own eyes.

"Of course it's to show us how hateful the aliens are. Maybe you'll kill that Qinghua in a rage!"

Jiu Yue clenched her fists. She really wanted to do this, but she was not strong enough and could not defeat the official members of "Changzhi" for the time being.

"Quite the opposite."

Duan Mingyuan shook his head, "The Third Prince is trying to persuade me not to do it."

Jiu Yue was a straightforward person, and was easily provoked by the actions of the outsiders, but Duan Mingyuan did not think that the third prince invited him to the party just to witness something he already knew.

"Eh? Why?"

Jiu Yue was stunned for a moment, stopped being angry, and started to think carefully.

"Because, for the current court, taking action will be of no avail."

The Third Prince hoped that what they witnessed was not the company's insults, but the reactions of the powerful officials in the court when faced with insults. They did not look insulted at all, but instead applauded and cheered as they danced with swords from the bottom of their hearts.

Because this is a treasure recognized by the messenger from heaven.

They had never seen the young First King, but the messenger from heaven said that the Second Prince had the demeanor of a young First King, so that must be the case.

Times have long since changed.

In the era of the First King, when he pointed the sword in his hand toward the sky, all the extraordinary people from all over the country responded and threw themselves into the battlefield without hesitation. But now, if someone points the sword toward the sky, the powerful people in the court will rush forward and hand the sinner over to the sky at the first opportunity to seek forgiveness from the sky.

"He is telling us that even if we kill the messenger from heaven, we cannot change the current situation in the court."

After hundreds of years of baptism, domestication has been completely completed. "Mr. Duan is absolutely right."

The person who answered the phone was a white-haired, hunched old man. He stated his purpose, "The Third Prince asked me to meet you here. Please come with me. The Third Prince will not let his guests leave hungry. He has specially arranged a dinner for you somewhere else."

"I know you!"

Jiu Yue recognized the old man immediately, "You are Yi Wuyang, and you invented the fortune-telling machine in the theater!"

When Caidie was dressing her up backstage at the theater, she had nothing to do, so she started tinkering with the divination machine. There was also a matching manual backstage, which introduced the simple principles of divination and also mentioned Yi Wuyang, the successor of the Yin-Yang technique of this generation. This old man was 131 years old, longer than Dean Mosong, and also the longest-lived successor of the Yin-Yang technique in history.

"Oh, it's me."

The destination of this trip is the hall in the southeast corner. Since the few people just arrived at the court, the hall has been heavily guarded. In the game, it is an area that cannot be explored temporarily. Only after triggering the plot and unlocking the corresponding NPC can the group of iron guards blocking the way at the entrance of the hall be sent away.

As soon as she entered the door, Jiu Yue smelled the familiar aroma of meat, and the white-feather chicken feast on the table made her appetite grow.

Although I left in anger just now, I still feel regretful.

This white-feathered chicken is a product of another planet. If you miss this opportunity, you don’t know how long it will take to see it again.

She sat down contentedly, and as the food ate at her, the annoyance in her heart gradually faded away.

According to her personality, her anger came quickly and went away quickly.

Her father also warned her in the "Auspicious Fox Cultivation Notes" that an excellent auspicious fox never bears grudges overnight.

"This is the First King's bedroom. People from the company cannot come here for the time being."

Yi Wuyang said.

"The Third Prince wants my help with something?"

Duan Mingyuan saw the other party's intention and asked.

Although there were no insulting performances at the banquet, it was not necessarily easy. "Is it related to the eldest princess?"

"Mr. Duan, do you believe in fate?"

As he spoke, Yi Wuyang suddenly stretched out his hand and tightly grasped Duan Mingyuan's wrist.

Seeing something with your own eyes is often more convincing than words.

As the barrier continued, Duan Mingyuan saw some unusual scenes.

The royal city was enveloped in raging flames, blood dyed the stone steps red, and mutilated corpses were everywhere. Looking up the stairs, the never-before-seen members of the "Long Branch" were like a high wall blocking the entrance to the hall.

Before dawn, the rebellion was coming to an end.

The cold mechanical creature was holding a head in its hand, and at its feet was a headless body lying on the ground.

"Even without having to spy on fate, one can predict such an outcome."

Yi Wuyang's old voice came from afar.

This is the fate of all those who point their swords at Heaven.

"You want me to stop the Third Prince."

"Do not."

Yi Wuyang shook his head. "After this battle, the First King fell. The Second Prince Ying Xin will become the new king with the support of the company. After that, the Third Prince hopes that you can bring the Princess and Miss Caidie back to Yunhai Academy and never set foot in the court again."
