He Cheng was utterly panicked!
He had no idea how he ended up striking out like that. At the ti, he just really hated Mu Qingge’s face and didn’t want to see her smug look, hoping she would die. So...
By the ti he realized, he was already eting Mu Qingge’s seemingly all-seeing eyes and Mu Xiong’s burning anger.
’What to do? What should he do?’
"Lord Mu, the Holy King is here, do not be reckless." Qin Cang slowly stood up, frowning as he spoke. It seed like a kind reminder.
But in his eyes, there was a faint hint of regret.
To be honest, he really wanted to witness Mu Xiong’s appearance after losing his only bloodline. If that strike had succeeded, maybe he could have completely removed the thorn of the Mu Family.
It was just a pity...
Qin Cang glanced subtly at Qin Yiyao. It seed like he was blaming her for being ddleso.
Mu Xiong turned around, and the dazzling blue light on him slightly retracted. However, the anger all over him did not diminish in the slightest as he loudly said, "Your Majesty, soone attempted an assassination on my grandson during Your Majesty’s banquet for the Holy King. Isn’t that disrespect to both Your Majesty and the Holy King?"
"This..." Qin Cang frowned, his gaze imdiately looking displeased in the direction of the He Family.
At the mont of the incident, people might not have noticed the small He Family, but at this mont, Mu Qingge’s mocking gaze and He Cheng’s drastically changed expression at the He Family’s table had already explained everything.
At this mont, He Cheng’s father was already pale and trembling all over. Seeing the Emperor’s cold eyes, he imdiately knelt on the ground, continuously kowtowing and saying, "Your Majesty, I am guilty! This rebellious son is really audacious, daring to commit such an atrocious act at Your Majesty’s banquet. Even a thousand deaths wouldn’t be enough for forgiveness! But, please, Your Majesty, considering the He Family’s loyalty, give lenient punishnt!" Saying this, the old man wept bitterly, turning to Mu Xiong and saying, "Old Lord, the son is rebellious and acts without discretion. Luckily, the young lord is unhard. I beg the Old Lord to quell your anger and spare his worthless life!"
The tearful plea made it seem as if He Cheng was the innocent one.
Mu Xiong’s face turned black, his lips tightly pursed. He snorted coldly, not bothering to watch their performance. Qin Cang was secretly observing Mu Xiong’s expression, knowing that he was truly furious this ti. Simultaneously, he covertly glanced at the high figure in white, but was startled by the mischievous smile.
’Not good! This spectacle probably displeased the Holy King.’
Mu Qingge’s life or death, in the mind of this sovereign, was nothing more than a farce.
In the blink of an eye, Qin Cang made a decision in his heart.
What happens to Mu Qingge, Mu Xiong, or the He Family is not important right now. What’s important is to make that man above happy.
"Miserable wretch! Kneel down now and beg for rcy from the Emperor and the Old Lord to spare your pathetic life!" The silence of the crowd made He Cheng’s father think there was a turning point, prompting him to remind He Cheng.
Terrified, He Cheng, hearing his father’s words, fell to his knees with a ’thud’, panic-stricken, "rcy, Your Majesty, rcy, Old Lord! I... I only made a mistake."
He Cheng’s eyes darted around, trying to find a reasonable excuse.
However, he was neither quick-witted nor smart. The excuse that slipped out made the murderous glint in Mu Xiong’s eyes even more intense.
He spoke with a chilling intent to kill, "Hmph, a mistake! If I slapped you to death, would it also be just a mistake?"
The last ti, He Cheng’s words nearly cost him his only grandson, the Mu Family’s only bloodline. Mu Xiong had considered the bigger picture and didn’t strike. Unexpectedly, this ti, He Cheng dared to attempt to take his grandson’s life right before him!
