502: If it doesn't listen, then replace it with a more obedient one.

"Pfft..."

Baili Dongjun was utterly speechless at his Junior Brother's shamelessness.

"Damn it, wasting my wine. You watch here yourself, I'm leaving." After saying this, Baili Dongjun leaped down and immediately vanished into the valley.

"Ah... Senior Brother, don't go." Sikong Changfeng quickly chased after him.

Although he said it out loud just now, he truly didn't dare to stay and watch.

Otherwise, as his Senior Brother said, if his Second Senior Sister found out, he would definitely be dragged off to practice swordplay, and at that point, he would inevitably suffer a beating.

After the two left, a faint smile appeared on Duan Zhengchun's lips.

The situation of the entire Snow Moon City was within his thoughts, and naturally, the two people on top of Cangxue Mountain couldn't escape his perception.

Duan Zhengchun heard the entire conversation between the two clearly.

If it weren't for their identities, Duan Zhengchun would have directly knocked them both unconscious.

This Baili Dongjun was quite smart, knowing how to avoid suspicion.

Looking at Li Hanyi, who was continuously chopping rocks and cursing him under her breath, Duan Zhengchun's expression was a bit strange.

But he also knew that this girl was just a little jealous.

He stepped forward and wrapped his arm around Li Hanyi's slender waist.

Feeling the attack, Li Hanyi's face instantly changed drastically, and her Qi was about to erupt, but she terrifyingly discovered that she couldn't mobilize any strength.

Her Internal Energy was sealed, and the opponent's strength was above hers. Who was it? Even though she was venting just now, it was impossible for her not to notice someone approaching.

Anyone who could approach her silently definitely possessed strength far superior to hers.

Since when did Snow Moon City have such a Master? However, the very next second, she knew who it was.

"Oh, what's wrong? Who made our Little Fairy angry? Tell me, and I'll help you vent your anger." Duan Zhengchun embraced Li Hanyi and said softly.

Hearing this familiar voice, Li Hanyi's stiff body subconsciously relaxed, but the moment she remembered she was currently feuding with him, the flames of anger immediately reignited.

Without even turning her head, she delivered an elbow strike backward.

"Clang..."

With a resounding noise, Li Hanyi felt a counter-shock force, causing a sharp pain in her elbow.

"Ah... it hurts..."

"Huh, what's wrong? Little Fairy, are you alright?"

"You, you scoundrel, why are you so hard?" Li Hanyi frowned, wearing a pained expression.

"Uh, I can't help it, I've always been this hard."

"You..."

Li Hanyi was left speechless by Duan Zhengchun's words. She felt like he was implying something, but she couldn't figure out what was wrong.

"Alright, are you still angry? Don't you know that this King came here just for you?" Duan Zhengchun said softly.

"Heh... For me? You came here for me, but instead of finding me first, you were flirting with other women?"

"Do you take me for one of those brainless women? So easy to fool?" Li Hanyi looked coldly at Duan Zhengchun.

"Who said you were silly? If you were silly, how could you have reached the Realm you are at today?"

"I just didn't want a beauty to perish before this King."

"If this King hadn't encountered her, so be it, but since I did, it's better to help if I can, isn't it?"

"Oh? In that case, you can treat Ye Ruoyi's Innate chronic illness?"

Li Hanyi looked at Duan Zhengchun mockingly. Clearly, she didn't believe a word he said.

"Of course. Didn't I just happen to encounter her? As for whether she agrees or not, isn't that still undecided?"

"Perhaps she doesn't think highly of this King," Duan Zhengchun said, shrugging.

"Hmph, you better be telling the truth."

Seeing Duan Zhengchun's explanation, she realized it made sense. Ye Ruoyi was General Ye's only daughter.

She was treasured immensely, and due to her Innate hidden illness, she was even more carefully protected. Anyone who dared to provoke his daughter would certainly not be let off lightly.

Moreover, Ye Ruoyi had very high standards; she naturally wouldn't look favorably upon ordinary men.

Otherwise, she wouldn't still be single now that she had reached twenty years of age.

There were also many royal descendants and nobles who wanted to marry Ye Ruoyi, but none succeeded, as Ye Ruoyi had not agreed to any of them.

It should be impossible for her to agree to Duan Zhengchun's request just because of his identity.

Furthermore, Ye Ruoyi's Innate hidden illness was a defect in her heart meridian, and countless famous doctors had been unable to cure it.

At most, they only managed to extend her lifespan by a few years; otherwise, she would not have lived past sixteen, and her life-and-death tribulation was on her twentieth birthday.

Moreover, the Bei Li Imperial Family had previously hired Dark River assassins to kill Duan Zhengchun, which proved that there was enmity between the Bei Li Imperial Family and Duan Zhengchun.

Ye Xiaoying, as the Great General of Northern Li and a member of the Imperial Family, if his daughter married Duan Zhengchun, wouldn't that be a slap in the face to the Bei Li Imperial Family?

This matter was fundamentally impossible to succeed. This guy must be deliberately trying to anger her.

It was all to retaliate against her running away before and for not seeking him out during the past half year.

It must be so.

"Hmph, at least you have self-awareness. The Ye family is an important member of the Bei Li Imperial Family, and Ye Ruoyi's father is the Great General."

"There is enmity between you and the Bei Li Imperial Family, so it's impossible for Ye Xiaoying to let his daughter marry you," Li Hanyi coldly snorted.

"Hmm, that's true. By the way, this time I came not just to find you, but also to handle a major matter." Duan Zhengchun looked at Li Hanyi with a smile.

"Oh? A major matter? What major matter?"

Duan Zhengchun's words made Li Hanyi a little curious.

What exactly did this guy come here for?

"This King intends to replace the Emperor of Northern Li. Is your Li family interested?" Duan Zhengchun looked at Li Hanyi with a smile.

"What? What did you say? Are you sure you're not joking?"

Li Hanyi's face changed, and she looked at Duan Zhengchun in shock. She thought she had misheard.

"This King never jokes. When this King destroyed the Great Awakening of Nine Dragons Temple, a grand eunuch intervened. At that time, this King had already warned the Bei Li Imperial Family."

"Unfortunately, they didn't listen and actually sent people to assassinate this King repeatedly."

"This King was just too lazy to bother with them; it doesn't mean this King was afraid of him."

"Since he ignored this King's warning, he must bear the consequences."

"If he doesn't listen, this King will replace him with someone who does."

Seeing Duan Zhengchun's relaxed expression when talking about replacing an emperor, as if he were just replacing a follower, Li Hanyi felt like she might be dreaming.

"You can't! Do you know the power backing Emperor Taian?" Li Hanyi's expression changed, and she quickly tried to stop him.

"The power backing Emperor Taian? Isn't it just that Sword Guardian? It's fine if he doesn't show up. If he dares to appear, this King will let him know the power of the sword in my hand."

"According to the information this King received, this Emperor Taian is not a good person. He even wants to kill your Master, Eternal Life Li, the Great General Protecting the Nation."

"Just because Eternal Life Li is not under his control. Although, this is quite normal in the art of emperorship."

"But he still needs to use his brain. Does he truly think he can sit securely on the throne of the Emperor of Northern Li just because of the existence of that Sword Guardian?"

"If Eternal Life Li hadn't considered his relationship with Xiao Yi back then, Emperor Taian would have been gone long ago."
