Chapter 1298: Killed by the Yueming Emperor

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

It was willing to do anything as long as it could become a real human.

Soon, Young Master Nie and the others could no longer see the beastman. It had disappeared like the Divination Jade Tree. He guessed that Qian Jiyun and An Jiuyue had taken it in.

If they could even take in a monster that was neither human nor beast for their own use, there was nothing they could not do.

They no longer found the triceratops they had previously seen odd. “Young Master, they’re coming down.”

The guards stepped back when they saw Qian Jiyun and An Jiuyue walking towards them.

“Are they going to kill us?”

There was no need to ask why he would assume so. Qian Jiyun and An Jiuyue had achieved their goal. Since they had taken the Divination Jade Tree, Young Master Nie and the guards were naturally useless to them.

If it had been the Yueming Emperor, none of them would have survived.

Hence, there was no guarantee that Qian Jiyun and An Jiuyue would spare them, right?

“What nonsense are you spouting?” Young Master Nie turned around and rebuked the guard.

If they truly intended to kill them, they would not have reminded them to run earlier. It would have made things easier if the beastman had killed them.

Hence, they did not have to worry for their lives. However, it seemed like there might be trouble ahead.

Their future seemed bleak. They could not return to the Yueming Empire and could not blend in with the commoners if they went to the Zhanling Empire either. The Yueming Empire and the Zhanling Empire were currently at war.

This was a headache. He could only take things one step at a time. “Qian Jiyun, Madam Qian, are you going back?” he asked when they walked up to him.

Upon hearing this, An Jiuyue raised her eyebrows at Qian Jiyun.

They had been out for a week. It was time to go back and see Zhan Beiye. The food at the military camp should have been finished by now. They wondered if the Zhanling Emperor was willing to destroy his son at the expense of his army’s lives.

If that were the case, no one would like an emperor like him.

“Why don’t we go back first?” she asked.

“It’s time to go back.” Qian Jiyun agreed, but he looked at Young Master Nie and the others.

“Are you preparing to return to Yueming Empire?” he asked.

“Uh…” Young Master Nie was rendered speechless.

Would they be able to return to Yueming Empire in their current state?

No one on his side was hurt, and none of the people Yue Suiyu had brought, including herself, survived. Wouldn’t they be courting death if they returned?

Even if he was glib-tongued and skilled at bluffing, he would not be able to keep his guards alive.

“No, I don’t intend to return to Yueming Empire.” He shook his head.

“We can’t go back like this. We’ll find a place to stay first, and then make plans once the war between the two countries is resolved.”

This was the only option now. They could seek refuge in a remote village and observe the situation before deciding how to proceed. They did not want to be killed by the Yueming Emperor as soon as they left Scorching Rock Peak.

“Is that so?” Qian Jiyun smiled and looked away from Young Master Nie.

Even if the war between the two countries was resolved, these people would not have a good outcome if they returned to Yueming Empire. After all, Yue Suiyu had been sent to Zhanling Empire..
