He nodded with great satisfaction upon hearing Gu Xuantong's sensible words.
“Alright, since you are so sensible, I won’t kill you. You can scram now.”
As Qin Xuan said this, the Second Prince beside him grew anxious.
The White Tiger Family’s background was much stronger than Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain’s.
He had gone through a lot of trouble to invite Gu Xuantong.
Now, he hadn’t even gotten close to Gu Xuantong, and the man was about to leave!
How could he accept this?
“Brother Gu, I have already prepared many treasures for you. Would you like to see them…”
Before the Second Prince could finish his sentence, Gu Xuantong immediately glared at him.
“Scram!”
Although the Second Prince felt humiliated by the reprimand, he could only lower his head and try to curry favor.
“Don’t be ungrateful! If you dare to babble again, I’ll slap you to death!”
Gu Xuantong’s Third Prince's Protector had been sent to the Kun Peng Nest to investigate the situation and was not by his side, so he naturally did not dare to act rashly.
After all, he was now clearer than ever about how ruthless Qin Xuan, this ‘madman,’ acted.
“Yes, yes, yes!”
Although he was verbally abused, the Second Prince did not dare to say anything more and could only stammer and nod repeatedly.
“Brother Qin, you are busy, so I will take my leave first.”
Gu Xuantong cupped his hands and then hurriedly left.
The Second Prince was utterly astonished.
He never expected that the distinguished guest he had finally managed to invite would be so afraid of Qin Xuan!
“What, what is going on?”
The Second Prince was somewhat flustered, and the look in his eyes towards Qin Xuan changed.
It seemed he had made a mistake.
This young man in front of him was the one he should have tried to win over.
But it seemed it was already too late.
Of the three people he had invited, Qin Feng of the Qin Family was killed.
Yu Jingzi of Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain also died.
Only Gu Xuantong was left, but now Gu Xuantong was also trying to run away. This was truly troublesome.
“How could it turn out like this!”
The Second Prince stared blankly at his surroundings.
The group of followers who had been surrounding him earlier had now all scattered to the side, showing no intention of standing with him against a common enemy.
This Your Highness had already lost the support of the people.
In fact, from the moment he condoned Yu Jingzi’s casual consumption of Human Race, these people had already been dissatisfied with him.
“You, ungrateful wretches!”
The Second Prince finally became enraged.
To maintain the peace and tranquility of Dagan, he had always endured humiliation when facing Yu Jingzi and Gu Xuantong.
But these people not only failed to understand his hard work, but now they even alienated him!
“How much grievance have I suffered, how much hardship have I endured for Dagan?”
The Second Prince did not understand. He clearly endured so much humiliation for Dagan, so why did others not understand?
“Your Highness, you have suffered grievances, but you did not suffer them for the Human Race and Dagan. You suffered them only because you are timid and cowardly.”
Qin Xuan unhesitatingly exposed the Second Prince, with deep contempt in his eyes as he looked at him.
“It’s one thing for you to be a useless person, but you are not only useless yourself, you even force others to bow their heads like a turtle. This is where you are wrong.”
Qin Xuan did not indulge the Second Prince.
He himself was useless and only made others bow their heads.
The snake demon of Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain had openly begun to eat people, yet he only thought of bowing his head and avoiding trouble, trying to cover up the matter with this method.
But matters cannot be suppressed by covering them up and suppressing them.
All the maids and Cultivators present were Human Race.
To sit idly by while their own tribesmen were eaten and remain indifferent, even beasts couldn't do that.
Only a useless person like the Second Prince, who actively offered up his own kind, would do such a thing.
“You, I… I was considering the big picture, do you understand the big picture?”
The big picture?
Qin Xuan sneered.
“The only way to maintain peace is to possess powerful strength, not to kneel and beg others not to act.”
“If Dagan were truly at the mercy of others, even if Your Highness the Second Prince knelt and knocked his head until it broke, it would be useless.”
“The reason Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain constantly acts against Dagan relies on Dagan’s Human Race Cultivators, and on the Supreme Emperor’s powerful strength, not on your kneeling, Second Prince!”
“Because Dagan has enough strength to protect itself, Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain doesn’t dare to act casually. But Second Prince, you actually think it’s because you knelt fast enough, knelt thoroughly enough?”
Qin Xuan mocked the Second Prince, giving him no face whatsoever.
“The more you kneel, the more you disgrace Dagan!”
After speaking, Qin Xuan gave the Second Prince no chance to retort, directly returning to his table, pouring himself a cup of wine, and drinking it in one gulp.
He was not clear about the exact strength of Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, but over so many years, Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain had never invaded Dagan.
From this, it could be seen that Dagan’s strength was not inferior to Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain.
Clearly not lacking in strength, why did he always like to kneel?
He even boasted, as if his kneeling was what preserved the peace?
Only equal strength can guarantee peace; relying on kneeling will only invite more wanton bullying from others.
He did not expect that this simple truth, this Your Highness the Second Prince, could not understand.
Qin Xuan shook his head, his eyes filled with disdain and contempt as he looked at the Second Prince.
Not only him, but as Qin Xuan’s words fell, although the surrounding people did not speak directly, their eyes had already proven everything.
That is, this Second Prince was indeed a spineless coward.
A spineless coward who could even offer his own concubine!
“Go, let’s go!”
The Second Prince turned and walked away in a panic, and a few followers exchanged glances before following him.
“Third Prince, this matter is not as simple as you think. The people of Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain are not so easy to offend.”
“Your man killed Yu Jingzi, Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain will definitely demand an explanation then. You yourself need to be careful.”
The Second Prince said coldly, then turned and left.
“Your Highness, wait a moment!”
Qin Xuan stood up, looking at the Second Prince with a cold smile.
“What is it?”
The Second Prince’s face was now filled with resentment.
“It’s like this, Qin Feng of the Qin Family is already dead, and we are leaving for the Kun Peng Nest tomorrow, so I’ll have to trouble Your Highness to inform the Qin Family and ask them to send someone else.”
Qin Xuan said leisurely.
The Second Prince stumbled, almost losing his balance.
He took a deep breath, looked coldly at Qin Xuan, and nodded repeatedly towards him.
“Good, rest assured, I will definitely inform the Qin Family about this, and it will be up to the Qin Family to decide what to do.”
Then he left without looking back.
“Haha, Brother Qin Xuan, well done!”
The Third Prince happily raised his wine cup.
This time, Qin Xuan had greatly undermined the Second Prince’s prestige.
This was precisely the desired outcome.
Furthermore, selling out one’s own woman and letting her serve others—such a thing would be too shameful if it got out.
Strictly speaking, that wasn't even a Human Race.
That was a snake demon.
“What right does such a person have to become the future Emperor of Dagan?”
