”Let him wait!”

”…”

Bai Zhixi muttered as his temper rose and he covered his entire life.

”My young miss, that's the emperor. We're still in someone else's territory, so we have to restrain ourselves. You don't want your identity as a princess to be exposed, right? ”

Zi Li patiently explained.

The matter of Bai Zhixi killing the werewolf today had proven that the Phoenixis Maiden was right at the capital. Under the watch of the Emperor, how could Mo Nanxuan let go of such an opportunity?

The crown prince of Xi Liang, Mo Feiye, and the ninth prince, Mo Feiling, had not yet reached princess.

”Alright, let's go!”

Bai Zhixi was finally helped out of the room in a daze and when he opened the door, he saw Jun Mohan at the entrance.

A body covered in black clothes that was covered in dust, a cold aura assaulted their senses, causing them to stop in their tracks. He pulled Bai Zhixi away and carried her towards the hall on the first floor.

Bai Zhixi was startled. When she raised her head to look, the silver mask was giving off a frightening coldness. The pair of bone-piercing cold hands rested on her waist and the cold aura penetrated through her thin clothes and into her skin, causing her to shudder.

From the moment she stepped into the Xi Liang Palace, she had felt that something was off with Jun Mohan, who looked like he was rejecting people by a thousand miles.

”The emperor has ordered that the werewolf incident will lead to an escape. Investigate all the restaurants and gather in the hall immediately!” Fast... ”Open the door …”

Hearing that, Bai Zhixi looked up, the hall was filled with people, it was pitch black.

Mo Nanxuan sat on the main seat dressed in black, his eyes sweeping across the room with a majestic aura, as though he was a king who held the power to kill.

It was hard to believe that someone like this was rumored to be weak and incapable, and was Empress Ye Shishuang's puppet.

”We pay our respects to the Emperor!”

Under the gazes of everyone present, Jun Mohan slowly walked down the stairs with Bai Zhixi in his arms, and stood in front of Mo Nanxuan as he bowed.

However, his body was still as straight as a pine tree, and he did not bend down to bow.

”There is no need for High Lord Demon Destroyer to be so courteous. Quickly, take a seat.”

Seemingly accustomed to Jun Mohan's rudeness, Mo Nanxuan merely shot him a cold glance, pointed at the seat beside him, and told him to sit down.

In the eyes of outsiders, it was a great honor to be on equal footing with the ruler of a country.

”Your Majesty is too courteous. This sovereign will stand.” The emperor should hurry and find the empress, so we can return peace. ”

Jun Mohan didn't sit down, but indifferently returned the greeting.

These words stupefied everyone present and sent a complicated gaze towards him.

It was a rare occurrence in a hundred years for a renowned Blood Fiend Hall Master to actually affect the peace of the people.

”Good, High Lord Demon Destroyer indeed lives up to his reputation.” Someone, come here, let's start the examination! ”

Mo Nanxuan shot him another glance, a smile appearing in the corner of his eyes, but he did not say anything as he coldly gave the order.

In the next moment, Bai Zhixi and the others were separated by a man and a woman, and each of them was brought to their respective rooms for inspection.

The inspection had just started, and Ye Shishuang had already brought over a dozen of powerful senior servants into the room to take a look for himself.

The man was personally supervised by the emperor's trusted General Lin. However, it was just a process to conceal the fact that Mo Nanxuan wanted to investigate the Phoenixis Maiden.

It had to be said that Mo Nanxuan was extremely intelligent. Everyone knew that Phoenixis Maiden had a dazzling red Plum Blossom in front of her chest.

But strangely, Bai Zhixi still did not have the strange phenomenon that appeared on his own chest, the Plum Blossom only appearing between her eyebrows.

The first ray of sunlight shone onto the Love Sea, recklessly shining on everyone's face, illuminating a few traces of exhaustion.

But no one dared to have any fear, as they focused on the tightly shut door, they too were waiting for Phoenixis Maiden's true appearance.

”Reporting to your majesty, all the women in the Love Sea Restaurant have been examined, and not a single one is. ”Except...”

The mama that was in the room walked out and reported to Mo Nanxuan. After saying that, she gave Bai Zhixi a meaningful glance.

But Jun Mohan's cold eyes swept over them, scaring her so much that she quickly lowered her head, not daring to even breathe.

Seeing that, everyone understood that Bai Zhixi had not went in to check.

”Exorcist High Lord, could Madam …”

”Reporting to your majesty, this humble girl is willing to go in and inspect for her innocence.”

What a joke, if she did not enter today, her status as a Phoenixis Maiden would be suspected by others.

After Bai Zhixi finished, he smiled at Jun Mohan and then casually walked into the house.

Zi Li and the others, who were standing in the crowd, watched nervously as she walked in step by step. Her hands were covered in cold sweat, as they were afraid that Bai Zhixi would reveal his identity.
