Yu Bing stood there, frozen like a statue, the light in her eyes dim as she dazing gazed at the empty stairway peak.
From the moment Tian Yi revealed his true face to the moment he disappeared, her gaze had been on him, unmoving, even witnessing him disappear like a ghost.
The shock she was experiencing was unique, something nobody there besides herself would understand.
The fact that Shuyi was actually Tian Yi, the son of the Celestial Emperor had shattered all her hopes in trying to chase after him.
She thought that she would be able to chase him no matter what his real background was. She told herself that she would not give up no matter what, but looking back it now, it was a foolish dream of hers.
Chase after the son of the Celestial Emperor when there are countless maidens with even higher status and talent than her out there? Just the number of princesses and goddesses out there that are trying to chase after him was more than enough to drown her to death!
However, out of the countless females out there who wished to chase after Tian Yi, which one of them were able to not only talk with him but also touch him?
If the people here knew that Yu Bing had been able to hold Tian Yi's hand for as long as half a minute, how many of them will go crazy?
Yu Bing closed her eyes and sighed. 'To think my first and probably the last chase would end like this… Heaven is too cruel at times…' she silently cried to herself, and a drop of tear slid down her cheeks behind the veil.
She was a character of pride with extremely high standards, someone who would not look at men the same way others would, and it has been this way for the entirety of her life. Additionally, with her beauty that ranked first in the entire Qing Shan Continent, there was an endless line of men she could pick from. However, out of these countless men, the only one who managed to catch her attention was a young man with ordinary-looking features.
Yu Bing didn't know what it was about this Shuyi that had managed to catch her attention, and that stays true even now. Maybe it was because of his attitude, or maybe it was because of the way he would look at her. Whenever he would look at her, there was only courtesy and pureness in his gaze, something that countless others lacked.
Her drop of tear fell onto the floor, shattering into dozens of fragments, and at the exact moment her tears scattered, the sound of a coin drop resounded.
Yu Bing opened her eyes to look at her feet where a small coin was slightly trembling.
She picked it up, and the moment her eyes noticed the word 'Yi' on the coin, her entire body trembled as though she got struck by lightning.
"Shuyi…" she mumbled, gripping the coin tightly.
"DAMN IT!" The silver-armored man was truly enraged now, and he turned to look at a particular direction. "THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT, QING DYNASTY!"
He decided to put the blame on the Qing Dynasty. If it weren't for them, then he wouldn't have had to take away his attention from Tian Yi to deal with Long Mulan!
"I had planned on knocking your door after I dealt with the things here, but it seems like your Qing Dynasty is really wishing for a knock on the door, huh! Good! Very good!" He then turned into a beam of light and flew away.
The people there were dumbfounded. To think the almighty Qing Dynasty that usually minded their own business would end up offending the son of the Celestial Emperor and the Celestial God Army at the same time… What did they do to bring such heaven-defying misfortune upon themselves?
It had taken the silver-armored man a few moments to travel over 100,000 miles. He went directly to the Qing Dynasty where the people there are still unaware of the disaster that was about to descend upon them.
Upon reaching the front doors of the Qing Dynasty that was above the clouds, the silver-armored man kicked down the doors to reveal the many exquisite buildings that were behind.
"Qing Shan! Get your ass out here right this moment and explain yourself!" he roared, causing the entire place to tremble!
Countless shocked gasps could be heard from inside the buildings almost instantly afterward. Everybody in there was shocked at the person who dared to speak to the Empress in such a bold tone!
Who would dare to speak to the Empress with such insolence?!
"Which foul-mouthed bastard dared to speak to Her Majesty with such audacity?! Courting death!"
A shadow leaped from one of the buildings, and a handsome middle-aged man hovered in the air with his gaze staring sharply at the silver-armored man.
"It was you who just spoke of those words?" The handsome middle-aged man said to the silver-armored man, unaware of his identity.
The Celestial God Army has many different ranks and roles within their structure with the black-armored soldiers being the lowest rank.
The black-armored soldiers are the ones that show themselves to the public the most often while the silver-armored man that was a whole rank above them, would appear much less in public.
Most people in the lower realms such as the Spirit Realm only knew the Celestial God Army for the black-armored soldiers with little to no knowledge of those above them, hence why this middle-aged man did not know of the silver-armored man's status.
When the silver-armored man who was still bad-tempered heard the middle-aged man's words and disrespectful tone, his anger exploded with killing intent.
"QIIIIIING DYNASTYYYY!!!!!!" He roared loudly, causing the heaven to tremble from terror!
