“I’m not going to do anything. I’m just reminding you that you need to lower your head when you’re under someone else’s roof. It won’t do you any good to be arrogant to us. After all, I’m sure you don’t want to be stripped of your title when you return to Nanyue, do you?” Yu Yunxi asked lightly, raising an eyebrow.

Nan Xun’s expression was extremely unsightly, but it was obvious that Yu Yunxi’s words had an effect on him. He was forced to suppress his anger. He asked through gritted teeth, “Who’s coming to negotiate?”

“Your Second Imperial Brother,” Feng Yili replied.

Nan Xun’s expression turned even more unsightly when he heard this.

Yu Yunxi and Feng Yili exchanged a knowing look. Both of them knew that Nan

Xun must be extremely anxious now. After all, Nan Xun’s biggest opponent in Nanyue was the Second Prince of Nanyue.

Although the Emperor of Nanyue did not think much of the Second Prince, the Second Prince’s reputation among the people was very good.

“I’m in your hands now. If you want to negotiate, you should look for my father or my second brother. What’s the point of coming to me?” Nan Xun said after he calmed down.

“I have a poison pill here. The person who consumes it will die from poison within half a year. However, based on your current physical conditions, you’ll probably lose your life in two months,” Yu Yunxi said as she brought a pill out and placed it in front of Nan Xun. She continued to say threateningly, “We’ll definitely negotiate with Nanyue. However, as for what kind of condition you’ll be returning in, that’ll depend on whether you understand the situation you’re in now.”

“Yu Yunxi, you dare?!” Nan Xun roared.

“Why don’t you try me? You’ve seen my ability with poison. Don’t think the doctors in Nanyue can detoxify you,” Yu Yunxi said coldly.

“What do you want me to do?” Nan Xun asked murderously.

“I want you to tell me everything you know about Liang Yang, your Imperial Preceptor,” Yu Yunxi said.

Not only was Nan Xun surprised, but Feng Yili’s eyes flashed with surprise as well when he heard these words.

‘No wonder she insisted on looking for Nan Xun tonight. I thought she came for Xinan. As it turns out, it’s because of my sect…’

Yu Yunxi brought a chair over so Nan Xun could sit before she asked, “Initially, you didn’t want to cultivate this evil technique, right?”

“What makes you think I…”

“After being enemies with you for so many years, I have an understanding of your character. Although you’re despicable, your pride won’t allow you to take such a shortcut,” Yu Yunxi said lightly as she lowered her gaze.

“You…” Nan Xun was angered by Yu Yunxi again.

“Moreover, you’re someone who cherishes your life. After all, how are you going to sit on the dragon throne if you don’t keep your life? That’s why I know you wouldn’t have easily agreed to learn that evil technique from Liang Yang.

Perhaps… Liang Yang lied to you.”

Yu Yunxi sounded very certain nearing the end of her words.

Nan Xun scoffed and said, “Unexpectedly, the person who understands me the most is my enemy.”

Nan Xun exhaled before he said hoarsely, “If I knew that cultivating this evil technique would kill me, I definitely wouldn’t have cultivated it. When the Imperial Preceptor deceived me into cultivating this technique, he didn’t tell me about this. Moreover, everything was normal with him so I didn’t suspect anything.”

“Everything was normal?” Yu Yunxi frowned, feeling that something was amiss.

‘This shouldn’t be the case…’

If Liang Yang cultivated the evil technique, his condition would be even more serious than that of Nan Xun.

Yu Yunxi turned to Feng Yili and asked skeptically, “Before Liang Yang left the sect, he should’ve already cultivated the evil technique, right?” “Mm, he had cultivated it for many years,” Feng Yili said with a nod.

“Then he should be dead…” Yu Yunxi murmured.

“I also want to know why,” Nan Xun said with a sneer, “Ever since I cultivated that technique by the Imperial Preceptor, I felt extremely unwell. In the beginning, I secretly found doctors to examine me. All of them said that I didn’t have long to live. Why do you think I’m in such a hurry to attack Xinan?”

“You want to seek revenge from me and also prove yourself to your father,” Yu Yunxi replied.

“That’s right. Although Imperial Father thinks highly of me, he has extremely high expectations of me. I want to prove to him that I’m his most outstanding son before I die.

For some reason, Nan Xun’s tone softened a lot, and he spoke a lot more.

“In fact, if you weren’t despicable, arrogant, cruel, and didn’t disregard the lives of people, you’d be an outstanding person,” Yu Yunxi said.

“You…”

Nan Xun was so angry that smoke was about to rise from his head. He gritted his teeth and said, “Thank you for your affirmations!”

“You’re welcome. Let’s continue talking about Liang Yang. Since he’s fine, why didn’t you ask him for help to save your life?” Yu Yunxi asked skeptically.

Nan Xun snorted and said, “Do you think I didn’t look for him? He only mocked me for being inferior. If I didn’t continue to cultivate this evil technique, I’m afraid I’d die even faster.’

“Oh, it sounds like Liang Ying is like a fish in water in Nanyue. Otherwise, how could the dignified Crown Prince of Nanyue tolerate him until now?”

“You don’t have to provoke me. Just as you said, I’m cruel. Not only that, but I hold grudges. He lied to me so how could I let him live? He’s only alive because he has my father’s protection,” Nan Xun said disdainfully.

“The Emperor of Nanxue is protecting him?” Yu Yunxi raised an eyebrow.

“He said he could refine an immortality pill, and my father believed him. Father trusts his words more than mine,” Nan Xun said wryly.

“How can there be an immortality pill in this world?” Yu Yunxi said, rolling her eyes.

“I’ve said as much. However, my father believes him. It’s not surprising. Those who sit on the dragon throne all hope to live forever,” Nan Xun said sarcastically.

Yun Xi nodded slightly in agreement. Then, she asked again, “So in Nanyue, he can be considered to be second only to one person?”

“That’s right. Why? Do you want to deal with him? Then I hope you’ll do so quickly. I want to see him in a miserable state before I die,” Nan Xun said, returning to his previous arrogant appearance.

“You should just think about whether you can return to Nanyue safely or not,” Yu Yunxi said as she turned to leave.

Just as Yu Yunxi and Feng Yili arrived at the door, Nan Xun suddenly said in a low voice, “Liang Yang has adopted more than a hundred orphans and has already begun to teach them the evil technique. If he’s successful in his plans, not only Nanyue, but your Tianxia won’t have a good time as well.”

Yu Yunxi turned to look at Nan Xun suspiciously. “Why are you telling us this?”

“Because I was the one who brought Liang Yang to Nanyue. If Liang Ying brings a disaster to Nanyue, I’ll become a sinner after I die,” Nan Xun said expressionlessly.

Yu Yunxi’s eyes flashed. She did not expect Nan Xun to care about this.

However, she did not say anything and simply flicked her sleeve before she left. In the dark room, Nan Xun could be heard laughing bitterly and self-deprecatingly…
