The two of them originally had relaxed expressions. They originally thought that the two of them were the top scholar and second place respectively and that Storm Calming was a must-have item that could save the Lin Residence from a storm.

However, they did not expect Emperor Zhao to do such a thing.

An Le felt that it was very ridiculous. It was already ridiculous enough to use Storm Calming, the saber of the eldest son of the Lin family, as a reward. In the end, he represented the Lin family to fight for the top scholar position, but in the end..

The Emperor had actually bestowed Storm Calming to Wang Qilin.

An Le’s gaze passed through the White Jade Vermilion Steps and the threshold of the Heavenly Profound Palace. He saw the high and mighty Emperor’s throne of Great Zhao…

He saw the playful smile on his lips.

Did he think that as the Emperor, he could play with everything?! An Le couldn’t help but think of the black and white scene on the cliff, the future of the Great Zhao Dynasty that he had seen on the cliff.

With such an Emperor, how could the dynasty not collapse?

Perhaps the Emperor had some schemes and plans because he was approaching the end of his lifespan, but it could not change the fact that he was muddle-headed.

Great Zhao’s southward migration was this Emperor Zhao’s order.

In the past 500 years, Emperor Zhao had no plans for the North Expedition at all. He was even the one who banned the North Expedition.

Anger surged in An Le’s heart, and he felt inexplicably sad for the Lin family.

Old Master Lin had died in battle for the Imperial Court’s southern migration.

However, what he received in return was the ruthlessness and indifference of the Imperial Court 500 years later.

Was it not worth it to die for such an Imperial Court and such an Emperor?!

The 500 years of prosperity that was like a dream, and the 500 years of peace had made this Emperor so incompetent?

In the Sword Furnace between An Le’s brows, his Primordial Spirit was furious, and his sword qi clanged. The Heart Sword embryo could not help but tremble, emitting an uncontrollable mental fluctuation.

The Ink Pool Sword and Green Mountain at his waist seemed to have sensed his emotions. They trembled slightly and let out extremely loud sword cries.

Ye Wenxi, who had always maintained a virtuous appearance, was also clenching her fists at this moment. The Little Heavy Mountain at her waist seemed to be emitting a sorrowful sword cry.

There was a hint of shock in her eyes.

It was as if she had seen the future of the Ye family through the Lin family’s tragic situation…

“Young Master An, do you think such an Imperial Court… is worth it?”The source of this content ɪs ɴovᴇl_Firᴇ.ɴet

Ye Wenxi muttered.

“Not worth it. It is not worthy.”

Listening to Ye Wenxi’s murmur, An Le answered without hesitation.

Ye Wenxi’s delicate body trembled and she suddenly looked at An Le. Looking at the young man’s angry sword qi that was about to spew out, she took a deep breath and her face turned slightly red.

The communication between the two was very short and soft.

At this moment, everyone inside and outside the Heavenly Profound Palace was shocked by the Emperor’s decision. Naturally, no one paid attention to what the two of them were talking about.

The atmosphere in the Heavenly Profound Palace had reached an unprecedented coldness.

The civil and military officials looked at each other, not knowing what to say at this moment. Their gazes landed on Prime Minister Qin, wanting to see his decision.

However, Prime Minister Qin actually closed his eyes and remained silent, looking loyal as if he only followed Emperor Zhao’s decree.

Many civil and military officials’ hearts turned cold, and none of them said anything.

Di Cang’s Qi Blood could not be concealed. Condensed Qi Blood intertwined on his body like blood-colored lightning.

He watched as Eunuch Tong removed Storm Calming from the ball of light and handed it to Wang Qilin step by step.

Finally, he could not help but stand up and say, “Your Majesty, this is not appropriate.”

On the throne, Emperor Zhao said indifferently, “Di Cang, tell me, how is it inappropriate?”

“In terms of grade, Storm Calming is ranked the lowest among the three treasures. What’s wrong with rewarding the third place with it?”

“Don’t tell me you want to reward the top scholar with the lowest grade Storm Calming?”

The Emperor’s words lingered in the Heavenly Profound Palace.

Di Cang’s beard and hair were all spread out, and the thorns on his face squirmed slightly. The Qi Blood in his body was like a sea of fire that had been compressed to the extreme, almost bursting out.

He wanted to refute it, but he could not say anything because those words tore open the Lin family’s scars in a bloody manner and were completely exposed in public.

However, before he could say anything, someone spoke.

Moreover, his words were resounding like thunder!

“Your Majesty, Storm Calming was originally the Lin family’s eldest son’s saber and should have been returned to the Lin family. Using it as a reward is inappropriate.”

“An Le is on good terms with the Lin family and fought for this top scholar for

Storm Calming. However, you rewarded it to the third place. This is not appropriate.”

“The Lin family has borne outstanding military achievements. Old Master Lin died in battle for the Imperial Court’s southward migration. You shouldn’t treat your loyal subjects like this. This is inappropriate!”

The entire Heavenly Profound Palace instantly fell into a dead silence.

The three inappropriate retorts were supported by the surging Primordial Spirit fluctuations.

Only Li You’an, the legendary top scholar who had spoken to the Sacred Teacher, dared to question him like this.

On the Emperor’s throne, Emperor Zhao looked at Li You’an.

He looked at this legendary top scholar who was originally a prodigy of the Literary Department but abandoned his position and left the prosperity to go to the Blue Wave River battlefield.

“Your Majesty, no matter how many reasons you have, you shouldn’t treat the loyal martial family like this. What you’ve done chills the hearts of all the martial artists in the world. Great Zhao will definitely decline step by step because of this!”

His words, which were filled with disappointment, seemed to have turned into a prairie fire that impacted both inside and outside the Imperial Court..
