“Duke Quan, please watch your attitude when you speak with me! No matter what, I am the leader and you are the advisor. How dare you show me disrespect!”
Quan Zexi rolled his eyes, “Stop playing your game in front of me! If it’s not for the fact that I don’t want to be the Emperor, you wouldn’t still be here!”
He was never afraid of Yin Lei. Today, in front of his daughter, he cared even less about this guy.
“You! Ehem, ehem, ehem…” Quan Zexi started to cough due to anger. How dare this guy! It seemed he had started to reveal his ambition. “Are you planning on betraying the Emperor and seizing power!?”
Quan Zexi paused. On purpose just to anger this guy more, he said, “That’s right. Can’t you see that the God of Gun is with me? She’s been staying at my house. I’m currently trying to convince her to support me and overthrow you.”
Yin Lei was awestruck and reacted like his greatest enemy stood in front of him.
He snapped his head around to look at Jun Yexuan, “Yexuan, is what he’s saying true?”
Jun Yexuan ignored him and continued to walk away with Qiao Qing.
Yin Lei was once again infuriated and shouted at Quan Zexi, “Stop dreaming! No matter what, Yexuan is my biological grandson. Though we’ve had some rifts in the past, blood runs thicker than water! The God of Gun is his girlfriend, which makes me her grandpa as well! You really think she’d help you over helping me?!”
His words made Quan Zexi laugh out loud, “I’m sorry, I’m her father.”
Quan Zexi’s words petrified not just Yin Lei, but everyone else at the scene as well.
It took Yin Lei a very long moment to recover. Forgetting his old age and his old body, he darted towards Quan Zexi, “What’s the meaning of this?! You took the God of Gun in as your adopted daughter?!”
“Adopted?!” Quan Zexi’s tone was full of pride, “She’s my biological daughter! We cannot get closer than this! She came to this country looking for me!”
He pushed Yin Lei, who was in shock, away and continued to walk.
Everyone else watched them go and then erupted into gossip mode.
“What the****! Another earth-shattering news! The God of Gun’s father is Duke Quan?!”
“Like father, like daughter! They’re both insanely talented!”
“I think Duke Quan and the God of Gun can rule the world if they choose to work together. Really!”
“If Duke Quan takes over and is supported by the God of Gun, we will become a superpower!”
“Even with the God of Gun, I’m sure Duke Quan can lead us to much prosperity!”
“…”
Yin Lei could not digest this news at all. The chattering that went on around him terrified him.
He glanced over everyone coldly to silence anyone with an opinion.
He wanted to pursue this further but found that Jun Yexuan and the others had gone into their cars.
His hands tightened into fists and he shouted at his royal guards, “Let’s go!”
He had to take some time to plan out what his plans were next.
After Qiao Qing left, her people gradually left.
When the news of what happened went public online, news and social media websites became overloaded.
The trending hashtags of “Duke Xia’s death” and “Qiao Qing is a killer” were long gone.
The refreshed news articles were far more explosive.
“Duke Xia and Xia Houshang engaged in inappropriate actions.”
This article was supplemented with videos.
“Xia Houshang killed her own father. Tried to blame Qiao Qing in order to taint her reputation.”
“Emperor Yin shot Xia Houshang.”
“Qiao Qing is the God of Gun.”
“Qiao Qing and Duke Quan are father and daughter.”
“Duke Quan showed the desire to overthrow the Emperor.”
These news items threw the citizens into absolute hysteria..
