Hearing Yao Hong's words, Prince Qing looked at Luo Mei with a dignified expression. "You, come here."
Luo Mei trembled and looked at Prince Qing in fear.
Prince Qing's eyes widened. "I said, come here."
Luo Mei was terrified. Prince Qing's face seemed to be magnified infinitely, and he could easily trample her to death. She couldn't move at all.
Prince Qing raised his head. "You're not coming out?
Fine. "He reached out to grab Luo Mei. He had the same thought as Yao Hong. If Luo Mei didn't come out, it was obvious that she was afraid. Although he didn't know what method Luo Mei had used to hide herself, since Prince Qing wanted to protect this woman, he had to force her out.
An Emissary was secretly protecting the brothel?
That was impossible. Neither Yao Hong nor Prince Qing believed that this was possible.
Just as Prince Qing was about to grab Luo Mei, a palm appeared in front of him and slammed down.
Prince Qing's expression changed drastically. A long blade appeared in his hand, and he slashed upwards. With a bang, the blade shattered, and the palm slammed into Prince Qing's face without any resistance. Prince Qing was slapped to the ground, sinking deep into the ground.
Everyone was silent as they stared blankly.
That was Prince Qing, not Qing Yu. It was Prince Qing, an Emissary powerhouse, who had been slapped to the ground with a single slap.
Yao Hong stared blankly at the ground. At this moment, she felt fear. A peerless elite had made a move. Someone who could suppress Prince Qing with a single slap had to have a combat power of at least 700,000. That kind of elite was actually secretly protecting the brothel?
No one dared to breathe loudly as they stared at the ground.
Underground, Prince Qing recovered with great difficulty, but he didn't come out. In that instant, he had felt an irresistible force. That slap had not only slapped him to the ground, but it had also woken him up. He was a powerhouse, but he couldn't resist that slap at all.
Prince Qing was very smart. He was able to establish Sky Bearing City and was also the owner of the Long Wang Auction House. He was calm and domineering, but he didn't lose the slyness of a businessman. That slap had made him realize the difference between them.
Dignity and face weren't as important as his life.
Was that slap hard to accept?
No, it wasn't hard for him. If the other party had used a little more strength, he could have really slapped him to death. He cherished his life more than death.
When he thought of this, he walked out of the ground and bowed deeply to Chao Qingyun, Luo Mei, and the other brothel girls.. and said, "I've offended you.. I'll give the brothel an explanation...." He grabbed Yao Hong and Qing yu. and left.
It was only after Prince Qing and the others left that everyone reacted.
Everyone was silent.
Those men hurriedly left. They had been heckling Qing Yu just now.
Lu Yin left as well.
Qian Zou looked at Lu Yin in shock. "Seventh Bro, that was King Qing. How did he end things with a single slap?"
"What else?" Lu Yin asked indifferently.
Qian Zou swallowed his saliva. Was it that simple?
That was King Qing! Even the expeditionary army didn't need to give him face. His name was known throughout the Neoverse, yet he didn't even dare to resist after being slapped. Just how strong had this person become?
Inside the brothel, Xi Shuang had also left in shock. She was well aware of Prince Qing's strength. Before coming here, her grandfather had told her that the two of them were on par. Even so, he had still been slapped. How many experts were there in the universe?
Walking out of the brothel, she looked back. What kind of powerful cultivator was hidden in this brothel?
Was he one of the old man's men?
If the Old Man Bu had been suppressed by Lu Yin, then what kind of power did Lu Yin of the Great Eastern Alliance have?
It was rumored that dozens of Envoys had appeared on the battlefield between the Outerverse's Great Eastern Alliance and the Astral Beast Domain, and it seemed that those rumors might not be false.
One slap!
The slap had not only awakened King Qing and the others, but it had also awakened many geniuses of the Neoverse. The universe wasn't as simple as they had thought. Even a run-down brothel could hide an absolute expert.
Qing Yu and his wife's overbearingness had revealed many people's dark side, and when the powerhouse behind the brothel had revealed himself, these people could only retreat with their tails between their legs.
However, Qing Yun and the other girls weren't surprised by these people. They had seen too many dark sides, and they had only gotten better in the past few years. Actually, a few years ago, even if the brothel girls could maintain their chastity to outsiders, they couldn't do so internally.
They had long since gotten over it.
Xi Shuang sat in a tavern across from the brothel. From here, she could see the entirety of the brothel, including the courtyard.
The tavern wasn't small, but it couldn't compare to the brothel in terms of scale. However, it was where everyone who had come to participate in the auction ate. There were no main halls, only private rooms, so it was convenient for communication.
"Sis Shuang, it's about time. We should go back," one of the men who had been following her said.
Another man was displeased. "What are you rushing us for? Sis Shuang has her own plans."
"Don't forget what the Legion Commander said when we left," the man said in a low voice.
The other man said, "Even if we don't go back, we should stay far away from the brothel. Someone who can slap Prince Qing to the point that he doesn't dare to move is definitely powerful and can't be provoked. We don't know who this person is or what his background is, but if we know who Sis Shuang is, we might do something."
His words silenced the others. The expeditionary army had offended too many people. Of the three armies of the Hall of Honor, the Beast Destroyer Army was on the frontlines of the Astral Beast Domain all year round. The Realm Guardian Army guarded the World Mountain and rarely left. Only the expeditionary army maintained the peace of the Fifth Mainland. Thus, countless people and families had been wiped out over the years.
They didn't believe that the brothel could nurture an absolute powerhouse. This absolute powerhouse had to be guarding the brothel for some reason. If this powerhouse was related to the expeditionary army, then it would be troublesome.
They weren't Xi Shuang's bodyguards; they were all suitors. They had seen too many people who hated the expeditionary army over the years. One in ten powerhouses hated the expeditionary army, so the probability was too high.
Xi Shuang was impatient. "You guys leave first."
"Sis Shuang." They wanted to say something else.
Xi Shuang angrily said, "Get out!"
They had no choice but to leave the room. Xi Shuang was the only one left, drinking wine and looking at the brothel across the street.
She used to think that the world was only so big. She was the expeditionary army's princess, and everyone doted on her and protected her. No one in the universe dared to offend her, so she was arrogant and insufferably arrogant. The men who pursued her all had decent backgrounds, but she looked down on them and thought that they were superior.
However, after coming out, she first met people from the greater realms who didn't fear the expeditionary army, and then she met people like Qing Yu. She saw the dark side of these men, and what shocked her the most was that slap.
Her grandfather had said that King Qing's strength was on par with his. That slap could have landed on King Qing's face, but it could also have landed on her grandfather's.
She wasn't a sentimental person, but the shock was too great. Her grandfather wasn't invincible.
"It's boring to drink alone. I'll accompany you." A voice came from the table.
Xi Shuang was startled and looked over. She saw a young man with ordinary looks, but he had an invisible dignity about him. There was a smile on his face that made him seem a little evil, but it also added to his charm. His eyes, in particular, seemed to be able to see into her heart and see through all her thoughts.
The man poured himself a cup of wine.
He then poured another cup for her. "Not bad."
When the wine flask landed on the table with a soft thud, Xi Shuang reacted and stared at the man warily. "Who are you?"
She then took out a glowing yellow power vessel from her cosmic ring.
The man's lips curled up. "You don't recognize me?
Take a closer look. "He then finished the wine in his cup.
Xi Shuang looked at the man seriously and felt that he looked familiar. Suddenly, his face overlapped with hers, and she blurted out, "Lu Yin?"
Lu Yin smiled and poured himself another cup. "I thought you really didn't recognize me."
Xi Shuang was stunned. Lu Yin?
It's actually him?
She had heard this name too many times. Whether it was from other people or from her grandfather, she had heard it too many times.
To the expeditionary army, Lu Yin was an enemy, and it was the same for her grandfather. Although he was an enemy, he was an enemy that could not be defeated.
In her small worldview, the expeditionary army and her grandfather were both very powerful. However, Lu Yin was an enemy that they were extremely apprehensive of, and yet they did not dare to reveal his presence. Thus, she paid close attention to news about Lu Yin.
The Great Eastern Alliance and the Astral Beast Domain had sent dozens of Emissaries to the battle in the Outerverse. She did not believe it at all, as she knew how powerful her grandfather was. How could dozens of people who were as strong as or even stronger than him appear on the battlefield?
However, after leaving the brothel, she vaguely believed it. At that time, she knew that her grandfather was not invincible, and that there was someone who could slap King Qing into submission.
"It was you?
Did you slap him? "Xi Shuang asked as she stared at Lu Yin.
She looked at Lu Yin with a faint smile.
Xi Shuang then denied it. "It couldn't have been you. It must have been one of your seniors. I heard that you invited more than ten Emissaries for the battle in the Outerverse."
Lu Yin was amused. "You guessed right, so why are you denying it?"
Xi Shuang was stunned. "It was you?"
Lu Yin nodded. "It was me."
Xi Shuang could not believe it. "Impossible. You're not even that much older than me, so how could you slap King Qing into submission?
That's impossible. Grandfather said that you're powerful, but you can't be this powerful. "
Lu Yin put down his cup. "Perhaps you can ask Xi Gu if I can do it. I can also take you to him and slap him personally. Let's see if he can avoid it."
Xi Shuang's expression changed, and she suddenly stood up. She retreated so far that her chair was overturned. "What are you trying to do, Lu Yin?"
Lu Yin looked at her. "From the moment you recognized me, your eyes were filled with hostility. It seems like this is the expeditionary army's attitude, and it's Xi Gu's attitude. I never go easy on my enemies."
Xi Shuang was alarmed, as the commotion had attracted the attention of the men outside the room. They rushed in and saw Lu Yin. "Who are you?
What did you do to Sister Shuang? "
One of them barked.
Lu Yin did not even look at them. "Get out."
That person was about to speak, but he was stopped by two other men. They bowed deeply. "Director Lu, please excuse us." They then pulled that person out and closed the door behind them.
Xi Shuang and the expeditionary army were not as ruthless as this man. He was a truly ruthless person who could not be offended.
Xi Shuang's expression changed as she watched the men who adored her and were willing to die for her escape. Her entire body felt weak, and the power vessel that her grandfather had given her did not give her any sense of security.
Lu Yin tapped the table. "Sit down."
