The Evil King's Favorite: The Princess Is Too Cruel

"This……"

Su Qingning was a little hesitant. Although she had succeeded to the position of the head of the Su family, she was still a junior in front of the heads of the other families present. Therefore, it was not her responsibility to say such morale-boosting words.

However, Su Qingning wanted to refuse, but the other family heads did not give her this opportunity.

"Master Qi is right. Master Su, you are young and energetic. Things like this that boost morale are most suitable for you young people to do." Xie Boru agreed with a smile.

"That's right!" Tang Bojun nodded and said with a smile, "Master Su, don't be shy, just say a few words."

"Well, say a few words!" Yang Zhenglin said.

Su Qingning: "..."

In desperation, Su Qingning could only look to Mo Lintian for help, hoping that he could say a few words for her and persuade Qi Daoxiu and others.

But Mo Lintian just raised a bright smile towards Su Qingning, opened his thin lips, and silently said two words, "Come on~"

"..." Su Qingning took a deep breath and suddenly had the urge to kick Mo Lintian.

After glaring at Mo Lintian unhappily, Su Qingning raised her head and looked at the 3,000-strong team in front of her, as if forcing a duck to climb a tree. She said in a deep voice, "The Tiandao Sect is inhumane and violates the Way of Heaven. Now, after discussing with the Emperor, our five major families have decided to form an army of justice to enforce justice on behalf of Heaven and eliminate this evil for the people!"

Perhaps Su Qingning's words were truly inspiring. As soon as she finished speaking, everyone excitedly raised their arms and shouted, "Carry out justice for the people and eliminate harm for the people!"

"Enforce justice on behalf of Heaven and eliminate harm for the people!"

……

Xie Yichen, Qi Runyu, Tang Jinan and Yang Youli, who were mixed in the team, quietly approached Mo Lintian.

"Oh~ I didn't expect that Sister Qingning has the spirit of a general!" Qi Runyu teased.

"Isn't what you said nonsense?" Xie Yichen started to retort him reflexively, "They say a tiger father will have a dog daughter. Master Su San was a brave general who once ravaged the demon clan on the battlefield. How could his daughter be any less than good?"

Seeing the two of them bickering again, Tang Jinan and Yang Youli smiled helplessly. They were too lazy to care about these two childish guys, and walked to both sides of Mo Lintian, each holding one shoulder.

Yang Youli: "Lintian, is there something you haven't told us?"

Tang Jinan: "Why do you suddenly want to attack the Tiandao Sect? Shouldn't you give us an explanation?"

Before Mo Lintian could speak, Xie Yichen and Qi Runyu, who had had enough of arguing, also came over.

Xie Yichen: "To be honest, after Grandpa came back from the palace, he suddenly said that he wanted to attack the Tiandao Sect. I was stunned at the time."

"Me too, I'm confused." Qi Runyu echoed. He put his hands on his hips, glared at Mo Lintian, and said angrily, "You must explain this to us clearly. What inhumane thing did the Tiandao Sect do? Why should we attack them? And it was so sudden. There was no news before."

"If it was Sister Qing Ning who wanted to attack the Tiandao Sect, I could understand it. After all, the Tiandao Sect attacked the Su family, but..." Xie Yichen paused, frowning and asking in confusion, "But the Tiandao Sect hasn't done anything that involves the interests of the royal family or the four major families of Qi, Xie, Tang, and Yang. Why would the emperor and grandfather agree to attack the Tiandao Sect?"

"Or... did the Tiandao Sect do something that we don't know about?"

As Xie Yichen was speaking, a person suddenly flashed through his mind. He looked at Mo Lintian and asked tentatively, "Is it Wan Junchen?"

"Wan Junchen?" Qi Runyu's eyes were confused. "Who is it?"

Hearing this, the others showed speechless expressions on their faces. Xie Yichen reminded them unhappily, "The Young Master of the Tiandao Sect."

"Oh, it's him!" Qi Runyu recalled, "He's the one who showed up uninvited at the Su family that day, with his nose in the air."

When what happened at the Su family that day was mentioned, the others also realized something belatedly.

"By the way, did the people from Tiantian Dao Sect leave the imperial capital after leaving the Su family? Why haven't we heard from them in these days?" Tang Jinan asked.

"They didn't leave the imperial capital." Xie Yichen said: "On New Year's Eve, I saw Wan Junchen at the Seven Star Auction House."

"It's Chinese New Year. As the young master of Tiandao Sect, shouldn't you go back?" Yang Youli frowned in confusion. "Could it be that they are staying in Tiandao Sect because they have something important to do?"

"You'll have to ask Lintian about this." Xie Yichen looked at Mo Lintian.

Upon hearing this, the others also looked at Mo Lintian.

"Tsk~" Mo Lintian raised his eyebrows and looked back at Xie Yichen without dodging or avoiding his gaze. "Why are you asking me?"

Xie Yichen raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said, "When I met Wan Junchen on New Year's Eve, I felt something was wrong. The next day, I asked someone to check the news of Tiandao Sect, but found that they were missing."

"Not only have the rooms at the inn not been vacated, but the guards at the city gate also said they had never seen anyone from the Tiandao Sect leave the city. Yet, a group of dozens of people disappeared inexplicably. Isn't that strange?"

Hearing what Xie Yichen said, the others couldn't help but nod their heads. It was quite strange.

"So?" Mo Lintian's lips curled up slightly. "Do you think the disappearance of the people from the Tiandao Sect has something to do with me?"

"I'm not sure about that." Xie Yichen shook his head slightly, but then he changed the subject, raised his chin towards the still excited team in front of him, and said, "However, based on the current situation, you should know the truth about the disappearance of the Tiandao Sect members who remained in the imperial capital."

Hearing Xie Yichen say this, Mo Lintian smiled. He did not deny his guess, but smiled and praised: "Xie Fox, you are really smart."

Not denying it was an admission. Tang Jinan and the other two looked slightly stunned. After digesting this information, Qi Runyu glared at Mo Lintian angrily and said, "Okay! You really are hiding something from us!"

As he spoke, Qi Runyu pretended to be angry and stretched out his hand to strangle Mo Lintian's neck, gritting his teeth and threatening: "Tell me, do you want to confess and get leniency, or do you want to confess and get leniency?"

Just as they were making a fuss, the team slowly quieted down, and Su Qingning began to discuss the plan to attack Tiandao Sect with Qi Daoxiu and others.

Seeing this, Mo Lintian quickly pulled Qi Runyu's hand away and said, "Alright, stop making trouble. I will find a chance to tell you about the Tiandao Sect."

After saying that, Mo Lintian left Xie Yichen and the other three without hesitation and walked quickly to Su Qingning.

"..." Xie Yichen and the other three stared. Damn! This guy forgets his friends when he sees a beautiful woman.

Although they were speechless about Mo Lintian's behavior, Xie Yichen and the other three still knew the importance of things, so they didn't bother with him. At most, they just complained a few words in their hearts.
