Yin Yang Heavenly Emperor Technique

One sentence silenced all the clamor.

Qin Feng stepped forward, and the murderous aura he exuded, honed amidst mountains of corpses and seas of blood, chilled the surrounding air.

"My father, Qin Wentian, and my two elder brothers fought for our country, dying on the battlefield. Almost all the men of the Qin family perished on the frontier!"

"But what about you?"

His gaze was like a knife, sweeping over the sons of the powerful and wealthy who looked on with surprise and uncertainty.

"You comfortably enjoy the peace they won with their blood and lives, indulging in a life of luxury and debauchery in the capital! In the end, you eat your meal and then curse them, slandering the soldiers who fought and bled as worthless?"

Every word is piercing to the heart!

The entire Tianxiang Garden was completely silent.

Some privileged children who still had a conscience showed shame and lowered their heads.

But some still stubbornly insisted, "That's just sophistry! Even so, you shouldn't have attacked someone in the palace and disrupted Her Highness's banquet!"

"I already have a plan in mind!"

Just then, a clear, ethereal female voice, yet carrying an undeniable air of authority, came from the depths of the garden.

Before anyone could see her, they could smell a rich floral fragrance. They looked in the direction of the sound and saw a tall, beautiful woman dressed in a light gold palace gown, surrounded by a group of palace maids, walking slowly towards them.

Her phoenix eyes sparkled, exuding an innate nobility, like a bright, clear moon that dimmed the starlight in the garden.

Today's protagonist is none other than the Third Princess, Huangfu Yuxiang!

"Your Highness, the Third Princess!"

Upon seeing his savior, Lin Xiu was overjoyed and scrambled towards him, pointing at Qin Feng and crying, "Your Highness, you must do justice for me! This man disregarded the dignity of the royal family and openly committed violence at your banquet. Please, Your Highness, arrest him immediately and punish him severely!"

All eyes were focused on Huangfu Yuxiang.

In their view, no matter how righteous Qin Feng's words may be, the fact remains that he struck the heir of the Marquis of Wuwei. Both morally and logically, the Third Princess would surely punish this troublemaker severely.

However, Huangfu Yuxiang merely glanced at the disheveled Lin Xiu on the ground, her gaze icy and devoid of any warmth.

Immediately, her cool phoenix eyes turned to Qin Feng, and she nodded slightly from an angle unnoticed by anyone.

The next second, she parted her red lips slightly and uttered two words.

"Someone come here."

Lin Xiu grinned maliciously. "Kid, you're dead!"

But Huangfu Yuxiang's next words froze his smile completely.

"Expel the heir of the Marquis of Wuwei from the assembly!"

"Your Highness!"

Lin Xiu was completely dumbfounded, his face filled with disbelief. He pointed at his own face, then at Qin Feng, his voice suddenly becoming extremely shrill, "This kid hit me! He's the one who should be expelled!"

Huangfu Yuxiang's phoenix eyes remained unmoved, her voice as cold as ice in the twelfth lunar month: "You publicly insulted the heroes who sacrificed their lives for the country. I did not punish you for your great disrespect on the spot, which is already a lenient punishment out of consideration for the Marquis of Wuwei's family."

She paused slightly, and the innate royal majesty she exuded made the temperature in the entire Tianxiang Garden seem to drop a few degrees.

"Do you expect me to have the Imperial Guards throw you out?"

Lin Xiu's face was extremely ugly. He knew that Huangfu Yuxiang meant what she said, so he could only grit his teeth, glare at Qin Feng with venomous hatred, and flee the venue in a disheveled state.

The scene erupted in uproar.

Clearly, no one expected that the Third Princess would actually side with Qin Feng, a fallen nobleman, and kick Lin Xiu, the heir of the Marquis of Wuwei, out of the house.

Could it be because the Third Princess was once engaged to Qin Lie, the eldest son of the Qin family?

But this marriage agreement had already been nullified with Qin Lie's death in battle!

Otherwise, why would these noble sons and nobles be so lively at the princess's birthday banquet? They simply wanted to win the princess's favor!

As everyone was lost in their own thoughts and whispering amongst themselves, Huangfu Yuxiang's cool gaze swept across the entire room, each word clearly reaching everyone's ears.

"From this day forward, anyone who dares to insult General Qin and his family in my presence will be severely punished!"

The discussion abruptly ceased.

The wealthy and powerful young men in the garden were all silent, trembling with fear.

"Your Highness is absolutely right!"

Just then, a slightly abrupt voice broke the silence.

At this moment, a young man in purple robes stepped out from the crowd. He had a smile on his face and seemed to agree with what Huangfu Yuxiang said, but in reality, he was hiding a sharp edge!

"Although General Qin Wentian suffered a defeat at Lulong Pass and was a defeated general, he has still sacrificed his life for his country, and the dead should be respected. We, his descendants, should naturally not discuss his mistakes further; his merits and demerits should balance each other out!"

Qin Feng's brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.

This person has a silver tongue.

While saying "respect for the dead," he first labeled his father as a "defeated general," and then used the casual phrase "merits and demerits cancel each other out" to completely erase the illustrious military achievements of the Qin family, who had been won with the blood of countless loyal martyrs.

Its heart is awkward!

"He is General Huo Zun, the number one prodigy in the capital, but now he has also joined the ranks of Left Chancellor Cao Qiudao!"

A faint, thread-like spiritual transmission rang in Qin Feng's ears; it was Huangfu Yuxiang.

"I see!"

Qin Feng narrowed his eyes. So it was Cao Qiudao's lackey. No wonder his mouth reeked of stench.

Huo Zun seemed oblivious to the coldness in Qin Feng's eyes. He smiled suavely, his gaze sweeping over Qin Feng with a hint of contempt.

"Today is Her Highness's birthday. I, Huo, will not be like some people who are vulgar and uncouth, resorting to violence regardless of the occasion, thus ruining Her Highness's enjoyment."

As soon as he finished speaking, he clapped his hands lightly.

The attendant behind him immediately understood and respectfully presented a jade box carved with intricate cloud patterns.

"I, Huo, have prepared a small gift to celebrate Her Highness's birthday."

As the jade box was opened, a refreshing medicinal fragrance instantly filled the air, revealing a bright red fruit, as if flames flowed within, lying quietly inside.

"Hiss—A thousand-year-old Vermilion Fruit!"

"This is a grade-three spiritual herb! Legend has it that consuming just one can not only increase cultivation but also have beauty and skin-nourishing effects!"

"As expected of General Huo, he can produce such rare treasures with just a flick of his wrist!"

The entire audience gasped in astonishment!

Countless envious and jealous gazes instantly focused on that vermilion fruit. As expected of the Left Prime Minister's confidant, he is indeed wealthy and generous, and his actions are extraordinary!

It seems that Huo Zun is determined to become the imperial son-in-law!

Huangfu Yuxiang nodded politely, "General Huo is very kind."

"Brother Qin, what generous gift have you prepared for Her Highness the Princess this time? Why not take it out and let everyone see it!"

Huo Zun looked at Qin Feng with a forced smile, a hint of mockery at the corner of his mouth, "You've come all the way from Qingzhou City to attend this birthday banquet; surely you didn't come empty-handed?"
