Dethroned from the Imperial Throne, Why Are You So Anxious When I Don't Want It Anymore? - Chapter 16

Chapter 16: Does It Look Like I’m Asking?

Ye Yu’s voice was calm and composed, completely unaffected by the scene before him.

Several people from the various Empires found this unremarkable.

However, the representatives of the various forces invited to the Liu Family frowned. From the moment Ye Yu appeared, they sensed a dangerous aura.

Seeing Ye Yu’s calm demeanor now, even they, when facing the top forces of Great Yan present in the hall, couldn’t help but feel apprehensive.

A doubt immediately arose in their hearts: Was the former Great Yan Crown Prince really a good-for-nothing? He didn’t seem like it!

“Hehe, Little Yu, the Autumn Water Sword was a gift you gave Ruyun. Once something is given away, there’s no reason to take it back,” Liu Tiannan said with a forced smile.

“I don’t want the cultivation resources I previously gave you, but as everyone knows, the Autumn Water Sword is an engagement gift. Now that the engagement is broken, shouldn’t it be returned to me? ” Ye Yu said sarcastically.

The others nodded secretly upon hearing this; the request was reasonable.

An engagement gift, now that it’s broken off, there’s no reason not to return it. Do they really think others are fools?

“Little Yu, Ruyun has used the Autumn Water Sword for many years and has become attached to it. If she were to switch swords, it might affect her cultivation. How about you take something else? Or, wait until Ruyun finds a new sword before returning it. After all, you like Ruyun so much, and you wouldn’t want her to be unhappy, would you? ” Liu Tiannan chuckled.

Liu Tiannan had already decided on his course of action regarding Ye Yu. He believed that with Ye Yu’s slavish personality, he would never allow Liu Ruyun to be hurt.

Over time, the matter would naturally come to nothing.

“Am I negotiating with you? ” Ye Yu looked up, his tone suddenly turning cold as he stared icily at Liu Tiannan.

Being stared at by Ye Yu, Liu Tiannan instantly felt a chill rush to the top of his head, his hair standing on end. He couldn’t help but stagger back a step.

Not only Liu Tiannan, but everyone’s expressions changed. At this moment, they had confirmed that the supposedly incapacitated Crown Prince had not been incapacitated at all!

He was still the same as a few years ago, his killing intent even more intense!

The Protectors of the other Empires silently shielded their Princes behind them.

The Princes were in good spirits. Judging from last night’s events, the conflict between Ye Yu and the Great Yan Imperial Family was irreconcilable. The more assertive Ye Yu became, the better it was for them!

“Enough! What is your attitude? You dare to speak to Minister Liu in that tone! Don’t you think that just because you carry the bl00d of my Great Yan Imperial Family, Minister Liu won’t touch you! Good-for-nothing! Stop it! ” Ye Qingwan’s face was ashen as she glared at Ye Yu.

In Ye Qingwan’s opinion, Ye Yu was so fearless because he was relying on the Great Yan Imperial Family.

After her words, others looked at Ye Qingwan with strange expressions. Did Ye Qingwan not have a sharp mind?

Ye Yu moved his gaze from Liu Tiannan to Ye Qingwan and said calmly, “What do you mean by ‘stop it’? Am I not supposed to retrieve my own things? ”

“Ye Yu, there’s a limit to your mischief! ” Ye Qingwan took a deep breath, stood up, and looked directly at Ye Yu.

“Yes, Older Brother, don’t make Elder Sister angry anymore. Elder Sister is doing this for your own good. What a mess this has become! I know you like Sister Ruyun, but this isn’t the way to go about things,” Ye Xuan’s voice rang out, followed by Liu Ruyun.

Liu Ruyun looked at Ye Yu with disgust. “Ye Yu, can’t we just part ways amicably? Why must you do this? I really don’t like you. Before, I only treated you as an Older Brother. Don’t keep pestering me; we’re not from the same world. ”

“Liu Ruyun, don’t think too highly of yourself. Hand over the Autumn Water Sword! ” Ye Yu looked at Liu Ruyun coldly.

“Sigh, Older Brother, you know this is impossible. The Autumn Water Sword is very important to Sister Ruyun. Don’t do this. If you really want it, I’ll give you my sword! ” Ye Xuan said, taking the sword from his waist with a wronged expression.

However, it was clear to everyone that although the sword looked nice, there were no spiritual energy fluctuations on it, nowhere near comparable to the Autumn Water Sword, the number one sword of Great Yan.

Besides, wasn’t it rumored that Ye Xuan, the Second Prince of Great Yan, possessed the Streaming Light Sword, one of Great Yan’s famous swords? How did it become this broken sword?

Everyone present was astute, even Liu Tiannan noticed something was amiss; Ye Xuan’s schemes were indeed profound.

But Liu Ruyun and the others couldn’t see through it. Instead, she moved to shield Ye Xuan, coldly saying, “Ye Yu, this is between you and me. If you have something to say, say it to me, don’t involve Little Xuan. ”

Ye Yu sighed inwardly. These three women together couldn’t make up one brain, but he didn’t bother to say more. “I’ll say it one last time, hand over the Autumn Water Sword, or don’t blame me for being impolite! ”

“Impoliteness? Hehe, I’d like to see how impolite you can be! Guards! Seize this dog and take him to the death cell! ” Ye Qingwan laughed angrily, slamming her hand on the table.

A team of Golden Armored Guards charged in from outside, each emitting powerful spiritual energy fluctuations. These were the Great Yan Imperial Family’s inner guards, once formed by Ye Yu himself, and one of the strongest forces in the Great Yan Imperial Family besides the Attendant Hall.

Ye Yu swept his gaze across the faces of these Golden Armored Guards. Quite a few were familiar faces. He sighed and said, “It’s still not too late to leave. ”

Several Golden Armored Guards exchanged glances, not retreating, but instead drawing their long swords.

“Seize him! ” Ye Qingwan’s shout echoed again.

Seeing this, Ye Yu no longer held back. His spiritual energy surged forth, lightning flashing in his eyes, and countless small bolts of thunder flickering across his body.

If they couldn’t communicate properly, then he would kill them all!

“Wait! ” Just as swords were about to clash, Ye Qingshuang suddenly spoke from the side, attracting the attention of everyone present.

Even Ye Yu looked at Ye Qingshuang in some confusion.

“Ye Yu, I’ll give you a chance. Tell me what poison my Second Sister has been given, and how to cure it, and I will plead with my Imperial Sister. ” Ye Qingshuang took a deep breath and spoke.

Ye Qingshuang knew the strength of the Golden Armored Guards. She also knew that if Ye Yu dared to resist, he might die on the spot, so she could only call for a halt, especially as it concerned her Second Sister, Ye Qingxuan.

“Second Sister? Second Sister is poisoned? Who did this?!” Ye Qingwan’s eyes widened in disbelief.

Ye Qingshuang didn’t respond, her gaze fixed on Ye Yu. Cang Yun once said Ye Yu could save him!

But Ye Qingshuang couldn’t figure out why Ye Yu could save someone Cang Yun couldn’t. The only explanation was…

Ye Yu had poisoned her!
