Chapter 314: 314

Proofread by Claire . KK

In an old mansion of the Forbidden City

Bang! Bang! Bang!

In a closed room, there were violent sounds of smashing objects and angry curses ringing from time to time .

The two waiters outside the room were shivering and frightened . After they received the latest news from the front line, the room seemed to be in a terrible earthquake .

“Of the three thousand elite practitioners, only a few hundred are left alive? It’s a bunch of rubbish! ”

“Du Xingchuan should be killed!”

“Who can tell me how the target intercepted a Ziying Battleship and destroyed all our battleships?”

“Six new Ziying Battleships worth 200,000 gold coins in total, which are rare treasures that couldn’t even be bought with money . But now… two were damaged and four were destroyed! Who can afford the cost? ”

“Damn it!”

In the room, the rich young men who worked as the deputies roared angrily . They were deeply stimulated by the news just received and completely disregarded their manners .

On the ground, there scattered broken tea cups, tables and chairs and some mess articles .

The bright candlelight flicked, its light shined on people’s gloomy face, making them look particularly ferocious .

A well prepared action across Mist City and the Forbidden City was equipped with tremendous power and materials, but eventually

Failed!

A teenager made them failed!

Totally!

Who could accept this reality?

“Rubbish! A bunch of trash! When Du Xingchuan comes back, I will kill him first! ”

They continued scolding to vent the feelings of suffocation, doubt and resentment .

However, Chi Cangmei never uttered a word from the beginning to the end . She sat there alone wordless . She wore indifference in her clear and fierce face . No one could be able to know her emotion .

She sat there like a sculpture, with no response to the angry swearing .

For a timeless time, those angry voices subsided . They were tired of scolding and sat down depressed .

“No more scolding?”

Chi Cangmei, who was silent, finally uttered . She looked up and scanned all around with disdain in her eyes .

Those deputies were all uneasy at her stare and did not dare to make eye contact with Chi Cangmei .

“Even if the forces sent out are useless, they have fought for the task . Their death bring them honor, but you…”

Chi Cangmei coldly said, “Maybe you’re the real waste!”

Real Waste!

Being humiliated directly, those deputies felt a stir in their minds, but no one dared to refute .

“See, you don’t even deny . What’s the use of you?”

Chi Cangmei’s tune became calm, but her words turned ironic . “It’s also my fault . Why I made you as assistants at the beginning? Maybe it also showed that I was just a fool without wisdom?”

The more she said that, the more uncomfortable those deputies were . Their faces were stiff and embarrassed .

“Princess Mei, although this action failed, the target has not yet entered the Forbidden City . We still have chances!”

Finally, someone couldn’t bear the dull atmosphere in the room . He took a deep breath and claimed, “I’m willing to go to the front to catch and kill the target in person!”

“Yes, I’d like to go together!”

Others agreed immediately to show their loyalty .

However, Chi Cangmei was indifferent . She looked at those people with a pity, “Are you sure?”

“Of course!”

The deputies did not hesitate to speak .

Chi Cangmei chuckled because of thinking about something and asked, “I should ask you first that who can guarantee to kill the target with his own strength? You’d better not rush to answer me . Think about this seriously!”

The deputies looked sluggish . All of a sudden they were speechless .

These days, they had been paying attention to the front line actions . How didn’t they know that the target to be dealt with this time was an abnormal young monster?

Even six Ziying Battleships and three thousand elite practitioners were all defeated by the target . How could they possibly win him if they went to fight in person?

The reason why they were shouting to go to the front line before was because they were humiliated by Chi Cangmei’s words and tried to prove themselves impulsively .

To be honest, they might escape faster than the rabbit when they faced the target .

Seeing this, Chi Cangmei looked indifferent and cold . She got up slowly and said, “There is no celebration banquet, everyone . Do something useful then!”

Then she turned around, pushed the door open and left .

It seemed that there was no threat in her words, but the deputies’ faces suddenly changed and they were out of their wits .

They all knew that Chi Cangmei was really angry at present! The consequences were really serious!

…

At night, Chi Cangmei was riding in a carriage . She looked at the beads floating in front of her and she was in a trance .

Among the beads, there was a light curtain . The picture was very simple that a young man smiled and raised his head in the dark and then waved his hand in the air .

Chi Cangmei looked quietly as if she had an eye contact with that young man .

She already knew Lin Xun’s appearance . But when she looked at him again, she suddenly found that he was so strange . She might never understand and be familiar with him .

At this time, he was smiling radiantly . But for Chi Cangmei, the smile was so dazzling .

Especially when she saw the deep black eyes of Lin Xun, Chi Cangmei’s heart was in a quiver . Lin Xun’s eyes were too calm . It looked like still water without a trace of waves and emotions .

But it let Chi Cangmei feel a trace of inexplicable chill in her heart .

Crack!

She raised her hand and crushed the beads . Her face had become indifferent . ‘Even if he comes to the Forbidden City, I would not stop my task!’

…

“Father, the operation failed . ”

As soon as Chi Cangmei returned to her family, she went straight to his father’s study room .

Looking at her father sitting in front of the desk and reading with candlelight, the original tough and strong Chi Cangmei turned to be soft and obedient .

“Got it . Tell some specific . ”

Chi Lingxiao said casually . He was a thin man in a pedantic robe, gentle, elegant and bookish .

However, he sat straight as a halberd . His shoulders were not broad, but his momentum made it strong enough to support the sky like high mountains!

He developed a calm and sedate manner .

Chi Cangmei pondered for a moment and told all the details of the action .

From the beginning to the end, Chi Lingxiao sat at the desk and quietly flipped through an old book in his hand without any fluctuation on his face .

Until Chi Cangmei finished, Chi Lingxiao nodded and said, “So we have done what we should do, it has nothing to do with us now whether it’s successful or not . ”

Chi Cangmei was stunned at once . She couldn’t believe her ears . What his father meant in saying there was nothing to do with them whether it was success or not?

This operation failed totally! How could it be irrelevant to them since they lost so much power?

“Father, what’s the matter?”

Chi Cangmei couldn’t help asking .

Chi Lingxiao put away the book and said, “When we agreed not to send forces above Gang Spirit Realm to participate in the action, the result has already been written . If we win, Lin Xun dies . If we lose, Lin Xun gets the qualification to enter the Forbidden City . ”

Speaking of this, Chi Lingxiao smiled, “You just need to think about the intention behind the agreement . Obviously, there are people who want Lin Xun to come back, but there are also people who don’t want him to come back . So, such an action is arranged . ”

Chi Cangmei had already thought about this problem . At this time, she was enlightened by his father, so she got the meaning just after a second of confusion, “It turns out that it was not our family that want to deal with Lin Xun?”

Chi Lingxiao nodded, “Lin Xun’s background is a little complicated . It involved a past event more than ten years ago . At first, everyone thought he was dead . Who ever thought, he appeared again…”

“Father, who is he?”

Chi Cangmei asked with some surprise . She didn’t expect that Lin Xun’s identity would cause such a storm .

Even Chi Family could only play the role of hired thug, how terrible the power behind all this was!

“You will know when he enters the Forbidden City . ”

Chi Lingxiao said casually, “Mei, you’ve done a good job . Although the task failed, you’ve completed the task quite decently . I will hand the rest then . ”

Until she left the study room, Chi Cangmei was still in a trance . She thought that she would be severely punished by her father if she failed . Who ever thought that her failure would be regarded as the completion?

What was going on?

For the first time, Chi Cangmei felt a little confused .

But soon, she judged that only by finding out Lin Xun’s real identity could she get the answer she wanted!

“Lin Xun, who are you?”

With this mystery, Chi Cangmei left the clan . She wanted to find out what happened in the Forbidden City more than ten years ago .

…

Castle of the Night

The old man walked into the spacious and dark hall, and bowed slightly, “Miss, the action of Chi Family failed . ”

“It seems that Lin Xun is qualified to be an independent person since he can survive this event . What’s the reaction of the old guy on the Imperial Observatory? ”

In the dark, the voice of the Queen of the Night was ethereal .

The old man suddenly looked strange and said after a while, “He seems to have expected this a long time ago . He only said four words . ”

“What words?”

“The Storm is coming!”

“This old guy always pretends mysterious . I’d like to see what kind of disturbance will arise in the Forbidden City when Lin Xun arrives!”

…

The old man, who was called as the Imperial Flamen, stood alone on the Observatory, overlooked the stars in the sky . His eyes were pure and clear as children .

It took a long time for him before he exclaimed contentedly, “Just in a flash, more than ten years have past . Who would have thought that the child would have a chance to return to the Forbidden City after he had his spiritual vein Devouring Abyss poached in his infancy? The world is changing all the time!”
