Traveling through another world to stir the emperor's heart

"It's indeed a bit disappointing." An Xin sneered.

"But next time, you may not have such an opportunity."

"Next time, An Xin, do you think I'll let you have another chance?"

At this time, Gao Yunfeng respectfully walked before the emperor and saluted, saying, "I, Gao Yunfeng, pay my respects to Your Majesty."

The emperor raised his hand slightly to signal him to stand up, and said softly, "Stand up."

Gao Yunfeng stared intently at the exquisite jade pendant in the emperor's hand and urged anxiously, "Your Majesty, you must not give this jade pendant to this treacherous villain!"

The emperor frowned slightly, clearly troubled. He said in a deep voice, "I naturally understand the pros and cons of this, but now that Xing'er is in danger, what should I do?"

Seeing this, Jiang Huaxing shouted anxiously, "Father, don't believe this person's nonsense! Are you really going to just ignore Xing'er like this?"

An Xin echoed, "Yes! Your Majesty, how can you disregard the life and death of Her Royal Highness the Princess for a mere jade pendant?"

Feng Qingyue suddenly stood up and pointed at the fake saint standing beside her.

He said sternly: "An Xin, the Saint is in our hands. If you want the Saint to be safe, then release the princess."

Hearing this, An Xin threw his head back and laughed, his tone contemptuous: "Haha, this girl is really naive. Can't I tell the difference between what is more important? This leader naturally knows that the princess is more important."

He changed the subject, a glint of greed flashing in his eyes, and his tone became even more intense: "However, this Saint Girl and the Jade Pendant, I must obtain both!"

Gao Yunfeng sneered at this and said sarcastically, "Saintess? An Xin, is the Saintess you keep talking about really a Saintess?"

An Xin's face darkened, his eyes widened with anger, and he asked in a cold voice, "What exactly do you want to say?"

Gao Yunfeng's voice was cold and sarcastic: "An Xin, you should know what I am saying."

"So what if she's not a true saint? At this point, she can no longer play any role."

A trace of sadness and disappointment flashed in the fake saint's eyes, and she lowered her head silently.

Gao Yunfeng continued, "Don't you think that finding the true Saint Girl is more important than obtaining this jade pendant?"

Hearing this, An Xin's eyes suddenly became sharp, staring at Gao Yunfeng closely: "Do you know where the Saint Girl is?"

Gao Yunfeng took a deep breath and replied calmly, "As long as you release the princess, I will tell you everything."

An Xin sneered, a glint of disbelief flashing in his eyes: "Who can know whether what you said is true or not? Maybe you are just playing tricks to trick me into releasing the princess."

Gao Yunfeng said firmly, "I will never go back on my word like you and become a despicable and shameless villain."

However, An Xin obviously didn't believe it and said coldly, "This leader will not believe you easily."

At this time, An Xin threatened again in a cold voice: "Your Majesty, if you don't hand over the jade pendant, I'm afraid the princess will fall into this abyss with me."

When the princess heard this, her face turned pale and she cried out, "Father, save me! I don't want to die like this..."

The emperor was extremely anxious, but faced with such a threat, he was in a dilemma.

An Xin began to count, watching the time pass by second by second: "One... two..." He slowly approached the edge of the cliff.

At the critical moment, the emperor suddenly roared: "Wait! I will give the jade pendant to you now!"

The emperor walked forward, holding the jade pendant tightly in his hand.

Gao Yunfeng saw this and hurried forward to stop him: "Your Majesty, this is absolutely not allowed!"

However, Jiang Tianhao pretended not to hear and continued to walk forward resolutely: "Bring Xing'er here, and I will give the jade pendant to you."

An Xin reached out and grabbed Jiang Huaxing's hand, then slowly walked towards the emperor.

When the two of them walked to a position not far from Jiang Tianhao, An Xin sneered and said, "Your Majesty, please throw the jade pendant over here."

Jiang Tianhao threw the jade pendant in his hand without hesitation.

An Xin caught it steadily, examined it carefully, then looked up at the emperor and said in a different tone, "If you want the princess to be safe, Your Majesty needs to promise me one thing."

Jiang Tianhao frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "Don't push your luck. What else do you want?"

An Xin showed a sly smile: "Your Majesty, please calm down. I just need your help to do one more thing."

Jiang Tianhao said angrily: "Don't go too far!"

However, An Xin remained unmoved and retorted, "Your Majesty, how can this be considered excessive? As long as Your Majesty agrees to my request, I promise to release the princess immediately."

Seeing the emperor silent, An Xin continued: "It's actually very simple. Your Majesty just needs to kill this man." He pointed at Gao Yunfeng.

Jiang Tianhao looked towards Gao Yunfeng with a determined gaze, then shook his head: "This man is highly skilled in martial arts. I'm afraid it will be difficult for my imperial guards alone to deal with him."

An Xin seemed to have anticipated the emperor's answer and sneered, "Of course I know the Imperial Guards can't subdue him. But..."

He paused and turned his gaze to Feng Qingyue and Jun Lingyuan, "But the two of them can."

Jiang Tianhao turned his gaze to Feng Qingyue and Jun Lingyuan.

The emperor looked embarrassed and said to An Xin, "Miss An and Pavilion Master Jun are not my subordinates. I have no right to order them around."

When An Xin heard this, his eyes suddenly widened. He stared at the emperor and asked, "What did you say her last name was?"

Jiang Tianhao was a little puzzled. He turned to look at Feng Qingyue, wondering if he had said something wrong.

Feng Qingyue's face was also filled with displeasure at this moment. She snorted coldly and said, "You are not worthy of knowing my name!"

"You have finally gotten what you wanted. I urge you to release the princess immediately."

An Xin's eyes suddenly changed, and he murmured to himself: "Miss An...is your last name An?"

This name seemed to have touched a string deep in his heart, making him look dazed, with a hint of surprise and confusion that was difficult to conceal in his eyes.

Just when An Xin fell into deep thought, Jun Lingyuan made a move as fast as a ghost, and stabbed the long sword straight at An Xin's hand holding the dagger.

There was a crisp "clang" sound, and the dagger in An Xin's hand fell to the ground. He suddenly felt severe pain and quickly took a step back.

Feng Qingyue took the opportunity to display her lightness skills, quickly pounced on the princess, pulled her into her arms, and flew away with her quickly.

Seeing that the princess was safely out of danger, Jiang Tianhao hurriedly caught up, anxiously grabbed Jiang Huaxing, and protected her behind him.

"Someone come! Capture this thief quickly!" The emperor was furious, his voice was deafening, and his anger filled the entire Lanshan Cliff.
