154: A good show

The Changqing Country Lord's expression was cold as he said, "Fan Chang, as the saying goes, 'a child uneducated is the father's fault.' Your son, Fan Peng, was so audacious as to publicly assassinate the Wu Clan Dao Child. Such a crime should result in the extermination of the entire clan, and their Divine Souls extracted and thrown into purgatory to be refined for ten thousand years!"

"Since Fan Peng has already died on the spot, then you shall receive the punishment in his stead!"

"Your Majesty!!!"

"Your Majesty, spare my life! This humble minister has been wronged!"

Fan Chang shrieked, his face turning pale with fright.

The Changqing Country Lord waved his hand expressionlessly, "Drag him away, execute him!"

"Yes!"

Two golden-armored imperial guards received the order and immediately dragged the Cangnan God General away.

Soon, piercing screams echoed from the back garden, sending chills down everyone's spines.

"Dao Child, are you satisfied with how I've handled this?"

The Changqing Country Lord asked with a smile.

Wu Ning's expression was calm and collected as he said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"It's merely a trivial matter; let's not delay everyone from enjoying the imperial banquet any further."

Given the huge conspiracy behind Fan Peng's assassination, he didn't believe the other party was completely unaware.

Since he intended to push the Cangnan God General to take the fall, Wu Ning was too lazy to argue.

It would definitely be impossible for him to kill his own son.

The Changqing Country Lord smiled and said, "The Dao Child speaks wisely. Everyone, please relax and fully enjoy the immortal banquet. Today, you may speak freely."

Subsequently, a group of beautiful immortal maidens came forward to play music and dance, their ethereal robes fluttering, graceful and enchanting, with light songs and beautiful melodies.

With the ethereal music swirling, the atmosphere quickly became lively again.

Wu Ning raised his eyes and scanned the seats of the various princes. When he looked at the Second Prince, the other party happened to look back.

Wu Ning moved his lips, silently speaking a few words.

A moment later.

The Second Prince, Qin Yu, quietly rose, cupped his hands towards the Changqing Country Lord, and then directly turned and left his seat.

There were many guests present, and people often left their seats, so while some noticed his action, they didn't pay it any mind.

After a long while, Wu Ning also quietly left his seat.

...

Inside a magnificent, enormous immortal palace.

Qin Yu walked briskly into a sleeping chamber, a smile on his face.

"Your Highness, aren't you currently attending the imperial banquet? Why have you come to this humble one's abode?"

A man with an effeminate demeanor and a beauty surpassing most women in the world immediately came forward to greet him.

"Lang Qing, this Prince feels a bit vexed, and wanted to come here to see you..."

Qin Yu extended a hand and directly pulled the effeminate man into his embrace.

"Your Highness... Your Highness, don't be so impatient. It's still daytime."

"It's fine, no one will come here."

"Your Highness..."

...

"Tsk tsk, what an eyesore!"

Wu Ning walked through the immortal palace, holding the Sky Covering Umbrella.

He quickly took out over a dozen recording Divine Stones, preparing to document this exciting moment.

...

Half a quarter of an hour later.

Wu Ning returned to the imperial banquet in the back garden.

Murong Haoyu asked, "Cousin, where did you go?"

Wu Ning casually replied, "Cousin, I went to watch a good show."

"Oh? What kind of show?"

Murong Haoyu's curiosity was piqued.

"Hehe, Cousin, you'll know in a bit."

Wu Ning smiled mysteriously, then continued to bury his head in drinking and sampling various delicacies.

About another quarter of an hour passed.

Suddenly, a huge light screen was projected into the sky.

"Eh? What's that?"

Many people immediately looked up at the sky, thinking it was some entertainment program arranged for the imperial banquet.

But when they clearly saw the scene within the light screen, they were all dumbfounded, their eyes filled with shock.

"Holy cow! This... this..."

"Isn't that the Second Prince?!"

"Holy cow! Did you guys see that? The one on the Second Prince looks like a man..."

"What 'looks like,' he's clearly a man!"

"Oh my goodness, the Second Prince plays too wildly, doesn't he?"

"Hehe, young people nowadays really know how to have fun!"

"I was wondering why the Second Prince had been gone so long and hadn't returned. Turns out he went to rendezvous with his lover..."

...

Boom!

"Bastard!"

The Changqing Country Lord's face turned black with rage. He violently swung his hand, striking at the recording Divine Stone in the air.

But to his surprise, his furious strike failed to shatter the recording Divine Stone!

The Changqing Country Lord's gaze sharpened, and he immediately frowned.

He released his Divine Thought and scanned, discovering that the recording Divine Stone was cleverly placed in an anomalous dimension, and his previous attack hadn't hit it directly.

During this delay, the content released by the recording Divine Stone became more and more explicit.

The picture was high-definition, and the lewd sounds entered everyone's ears.

Some young women and married ladies, blushing, covered their eyes, but couldn't resist peeking through a gap to look up at the sky.

The men, both young and old, however, were completely unconcerned, openly enjoying the show.

If it weren't for the inappropriate setting, they probably would have been loudly commenting on the Second Prince.

Boom!

The Changqing Country Lord's face turned cold, and he slapped out again.

This time, the recording Divine Stone shattered with a loud bang.

But before he could even sigh in relief, several more light screens were projected into the sky.

"Damn it!"

Boom boom--!

The Changqing Country Lord's expression was grim, not just because of Qin Yu's scandal being exposed.

More so, it was directed at the person who exposed this matter.

To be able to set up recording Divine Stones one by one right under his nose, yet without anyone discovering them, this ability made a hint of dread rise in his heart.

"Your Majesty!"

The Empress's face was extremely unsightly, and the anger in her heart continuously surged.

She had heard a few rumors about her son's preferences and had repeatedly admonished him, yet she never expected Qin Yu to be so audacious!

"It's all thanks to the good son you've taught!"

The Changqing Country Lord glared at him coldly, then angrily demanded, "Where is that rebellious son right now?!"

Just at this moment.

The Second Prince, Qin Yu, slowly walked back, a lingering trace of satisfaction on his face.

Seemingly sensing that the atmosphere on the scene was a bit off, Qin Yu looked around blankly.

He found that everyone's gazes were fixed on him, their eyes filled with various expressions of mockery, strangeness, and disdain.

He immediately frowned, and a bad feeling rose in his heart.

"Rebellious son, kneel down for me!!!"

The Changqing Country Lord roared, his face ashen.

Qin Yu's face turned pale. Without thinking, he immediately plopped down onto his knees.

"Father... Father Emperor, I wonder what crime your son has committed..."

He felt a bit panicked, his expression extremely uneasy.

Swish!

As soon as Qin Yu's words fell, another light screen was projected into the air, and some familiar lewd sounds instantly entered his ears.

The Changqing Country Lord's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he said angrily:

"Hmph! See for yourself what good deeds you've done!"

Since so many people had already seen it anyway, this time he wasn't in a hurry to destroy it.

There was no need to think; if he shattered this recording Divine Stone, there were definitely more hidden ones.

The person who set up the scheme was extremely skilled; those recording Divine Stones, before being activated, were undetectable even to him.
