Qin Beifeng heard Cheng Guang's words, his face turned ashen, and his body trembled a few times.
It was at this moment that Cheng Guang suddenly turned to look at Qian Siyuan and Li Zhengyang beside him.
"Uncle Qian, Uncle Li, take action now and protect her,"
"After all, she was the person I found first, and I can't let them snatch her away."
Qian Siyuan and Li Zhengyang, upon hearing Cheng Guang's words, were at first startled, not understanding why Emperor Zhou had ordered them to kill the remnants of Great Chu, yet their own Princely Heir was talking about protecting this remnant of Great Chu.
Qian Siyuan and Li Zhengyang were only stunned briefly and without much hesitation, they immediately agreed.
In their hearts, it was clear that the words of Cheng Guang, the Town-Nation Duke's Heir, were more significant than the mission laid out by Emperor Zhou.
At this time, Cheng Guang's words also reached Qin Beifeng's ears. Qin Beifeng's head jerked up, and he looked at Cheng Guang, incredulous.
He had not expected Cheng Guang to agree to his request.
Not only had he agreed, but he had also ordered Qian Siyuan and Li Zhengyang, the two Deputy Directors of the Bureau of the Lamp, to support him.
Why was this?
The Princely Heir...
Why would he help him?
Qin Beifeng stared at Cheng Guang, the distinguished Town-Nation Duke's Heir, his eyes trembling, and aside from confusion, he was deeply moved.
Chen Guang didn't say much more, waving his hand.
"Go."
Qin Beifeng fell silent and bowed deeply to Cheng Guang once again before getting up and stepping forward. His blue battle armor shimmered like a phantom and solidified in an instant.
Qian Siyuan watched Qin Beifeng with a smiling face and expressed his admiration, "His cultivation is much more profound than ours. The top talent of Great Chu back in the day, indeed remarkable."
After speaking, Qian Siyuan took a step forward and swept away with his hands behind his back.
Li Zhengyang laughed heartily, let out a whistle, and many Bureau of the Lamp members emerged from the shadows near the teahouse.
Li Zhengyang addressed the crowd shrouded by the night and laughed loudly, "Ladies and gentlemen, this woman belongs to our Princely Heir. We from the Bureau of the Lamp have claimed her!"
As the voice of Li Zhengyang fell,
Qin Beifeng, Qian Siyuan, and Li Zhengyang had already taken their places in front of Commandery Princess Ning.
Commandery Princess Ning's star-like eyes turned to Qin Beifeng, full of surprise at his arrival.
She had not expected Cheng Guang to send Qin Beifeng over to help her.
Qin Beifeng's gaze returned to Commandery Princess Ning, revealing respect, his voice filled with emotion, trembling as he quickly knelt down and saluted, "Your Highness!"
Commandery Princess Ning sighed, "General Qin, I have wronged you, I hope you will not blame me."
"Now that I am in a hopeless situation, you... why did you come out..."
Qin Beifeng shook his head, "If I cannot protect Your Highness, it would be my life's greatest regret."
Commandery Princess Ning's heart was a tumult of emotions.
After a moment of silence, she turned her gaze again to Qian Siyuan and Li Zhengyang beside Qin Beifeng.
She had not expected.
Cheng Guang not only sent Qin Beifeng to help her but also had his Bureau of the Lamp members protect her.
Why was this?
Commandery Princess Ning abruptly turned her head to look towards Cheng Guang, seated at the peak of the teahouse, in beautiful garments, handsomely featured, almost not of the mortal realm, the Town-Nation Duke's Heir.
Her puzzled gaze received little response.
Commandery Princess Ning noticed that the Town-Nation Duke's Heir was not looking at her but was focusing on the clouds above, as if he was watching someone.
Why was this?
Commandery Princess Ning felt perplexed. Just as she was about to speak, she heard the air around her tremble, emitting a roaring sound like the rumbling of thunder.
"The Town-Nation Duke's Heir of Great Zhou is being too domineering,"
"If the Duke of the State himself came, we would offer him face, but with just the Princely Heir alone, you wish to monopolize the remnants of Great Chu? We do not consent!"
"The remnants of Great Chu carry secrets, secrets that could unify the world. Princely Heir, do you really think you can have them all to yourself?"
The air around vibrated.
Voices of varying tones emanated.
Shortly after, several figures emerged from the darkness of the night.
Commandery Princess Ning watched the newcomers.
A man dressed in a scholar's green robe and headgear, youthful in appearance, came forward with a smile. After surveying Qin Beifeng and the others, he finally rested his gaze on Cheng Guang.
This man was from Great Yuan, the third son of the Emperor of Great Yuan, Wu Qiche.
Another man wore a Python Robe, his face aged but with jet-black hair and beard, and his eyes occasionally twinkled with vitality unbecoming of his years.
Behind him stood a pale-faced young man who seemed weak and frail.
Looking at these two individuals, Commandery Princess Ning's eyes narrowed slightly, recognizing them as the royal family of Great Yan, Li Longhu and Li Zhongxin.
As expected, they had still come.
As Commandery Princess Ning's gaze swept across Li Longhu and Li Zhongxin, Li Longhu smiled without showing any emotion fluctuations, looking at Commandery Princess Ning as if she were a stranger.
However, when Li Zhongxin faced Commandery Princess Ning, his fists clenched slowly.
In the face of this woman who had always been superior to him, even when she was in a desperate situation, Li Zhongxin still felt no small amount of pressure.
He instinctively felt somewhat nervous.
Commandery Princess Ning's eyes did not linger on Li Zhongxin but moved to the last person, a middle-aged man in gray. His build was strong, his Qi profound, his expression cold, and he was not prone to laughter.
That man was likely from Great Wei.
All four great dynasties, including Cheng Guang, had come.
