The Lord's Empire

After those words sounded out, everyone else fell silent. Facing Great Qin’s soldier’s murderous words, they did not dare to hesitate; Great Qin would definitely do such a thing, and if they did not quieten down, they would all die here.

Seeing how afraid they were, the soldier coldly harrumphed and said, “Follow me to pay your respects to His Majesty; remember proper etiquette. Don’t look at anything or listen to anything. If you enrage His Majesty, even gods will not be able to protect you.”

“Yes, yes, yes…” No one in their right minds could refuse, and they could only agree. They felt incredibly anxious and terrified as they lowered their heads and warily follow behind the soldier.

They first had to enter the Great Qin City before entering the Palace. There were palace guards here, who first asked why they were here. The soldier leading them took out a command medallion and explained the situation, and everyone could not help but look around.

There were tall walls everywhere and garrets that seemed to be crafted out of colored glass, giving off precious glows, making them feel quite shocked. Great Qin did not lack money at all; everywhere was incredibly luxurious and extravagant.

They then followed the soldier into the Palace, and they soon heard a lot of talking and laughing. Intoxicating aromas filled the Palace, causing their heart rates to speed up. They could not help but raise their heads and look around.

There were a group of beautiful women sitting under a pavilion as they laughed and talked. All of them were outstanding beauties; any man who looked at them would feel their heart rates speed up, and any woman who looked at them would feel inferior in comparison.

No wonder people said that Great Qin’s Palace was splendorous and majestic, with countless treasures and beautiful women as common as clouds. Any of the women here was of the highest quality, and only now did these people realize that those rumors were not exaggerated as well. After all, Great Qin was even more luxurious than the legends; all of those women were top-tier beauties.

“So you’re all here as well!” A clear voice sounded. They were quite familiar with this voice, and they could not help but look up, seeing a woman with five or six other women looking at them curiously. This person was the beauty of their university, Xiao Xiyi.

Apart from Xiao Xiyi, there was also Bai Yan, who they hadn’t seen in a while. She was the ex-girlfriend of their Class President, and they had never thought that they would see her here.

What shocked them even more were the people next to them. Those four women had all been superstars who had millions of fans, and they very rarely would appear together.

Seeing those four women and how close they seemed with Xiao Xiyi and Bai Yan, the group of people felt incredibly confused – what was going on? How did they know each other?

Zheng Dong looked at Xiao Xiyi and felt quite surprised and happy. He smiled as he said, “Xiyi, I never thought I’d meet you here. It’s been a while.”

Xiao Xiyi lightly smiled as she replied, “I came with my mum a month earlier to Great Qin, but I’m not surprised that you guys are here to be honest.”

Hearing this, Zheng Dong and the others felt quite strange; how did Xiao Xiyi know that they would come?

“I’ll take them to meet His Majesty!” Xiao Xiyi said to the soldier while everyone was confused.

The soldier bowed and replied, “Yes, thank you Concubine!”

Following this, the soldier left, and everyone understood why Xiao Xiyi was at Great Qin’s Palace. This was where Great Qin’s Legatee’s countless beauties were; only his Concubines could reside here.

Hearing that Xiao Xiyi had become Great Qin’s Legatee’s woman, many people felt a bit of jealousy, and Zheng Dong’s expression became a bit unsightly.

If Zheng Dong said he did not have a bit of interest in this beautiful, kind woman who had helped him before, he would definitely be lying. However, because of the difference in their statuses, he had never expressed this to her. He had wanted to make his faction powerful and have sufficient strength before expressing his feelings to her.

It was a pity that his dream had been shattered. With Great Qin’s unstoppable momentum, they were but a speck of sand in Great Qin’s lake, unable to resist being swept away by the current. When he thought of this, Zheng Dong could not help but feel a bit bitter.

Xiao Xiyi understood that everyone now knew her status, and her face became a bit red as she explained, “His Majesty didn’t force me; I was completely willing. My mum and my lover both love him, so I could only come here.”

Zheng Dong’s heart took another heavy blow; he had never thought that Xiao Xiyi had already had a lover. However, those words were quite strange; Xiao Xiyi’s mother was called Zhang Hongmei, but hearing that her lover loved Great Qin’s Legatee, that sounded quite strange.

“Wait.” After all, Great Qin’s Legatee was a man, so someone who loved him would ordinarily be a woman. Could it be that Xiao Xiyi was interested in women? Zheng Dong could not help but remember that Xiao Xiyi had always been quite close with their teacher, Dong Suzhen. Could it be that they were lovers and not just close friends?

Now, Zheng Dong understood everything, and his expression became dim as he felt quite bitter inside.

Xiao Xiyi could tell what Zheng Dong was thinking, and she smiled as she comforted him, saying, “Let’s go! His Majesty will be quite happy after seeing you all.”

Everyone felt quite strange after hearing this; it was as if she meant that they knew Great Qin’s Legatee. However, how could ordinary people like them know a major figure like Great Qin’s Legatee?

Zheng Dong could not help but ask, “Xiyi, could it be that we know Great Qin’s Legatee? How could the leader of a small faction like me know such a grand figure?”

Xiao Xiyi could not help but laugh, saying mysteriously, “Let’s go! You’ll know when we get there. His Majesty is waiting for you.”

Everyone felt quite strange and followed Xiao Xiyi. They could not help but feel quite anxious and nervous because they were about to meet Great Qin’s Legatee, the most powerful and terrifying King in the human world.

After walking for a while, they followed Xiao Xiyi into a large hall.

Xiao Xiyi first bowed before slightly smiling and saying, “Your Majesty, I’ve brought them here to you.”

Zheng Dong and the others bowed with their heads low. Even though according to Xiao Xiyi Great Qin’s Legatee might know them, he was still Great Qin’s terrifying Legatee. If they were not careful, they might die if they offended him. As such, they suppressed their curiosity and did not look up.

“Mm! Long time no see.” A familiar voice sounded out from above. Zhang Yue, Zhao Fu’s old desk mate, felt incredibly shocked after hearing this and looked up.

Instantly, Zhang Yue felt as if his soul had taken a massive blow. He took a step back as he looked at Zhao Fu in shock. Everyone else also raised their heads, and looking at the person seated above, they also felt incredibly dismayed to the point that they could not form words.

The shy, introverted Zhao Fu in their memories and Great Qin’s bloodthirsty, merciless Legatee were actually one and the same person! In actuality, everyone already knew Great Qin’s Legatee’s name, which was Zhao Fu.
