Feng Jiuyuan, as usual, maintained his own style, leisurely walking down from the competition stage.
Seeing his slow pace, the supervising teacher wished he could kick him down.
As Feng Jiuyuan approached the edge of the stage to descend the stairs, he suddenly turned his head and looked towards Huangquan.
Huangquan, who had been watching the competition stage, didn’t expect Feng Jiuyuan to look over, so their eyes met once again.
Feng Jiuyuan looked at her, smirked, and silently mouthed, “Aren’t I amazing?”
Huangquan smiled slightly and silently replied, “I don’t understand what you’re saying.”
Feng Jiuyuan: “…” He suspected she understood but was pretending not to.
Just as Feng Jiuyuan was about to say something, a sharp and intense gaze filled with killing intent suddenly swept over.
The intensity of that gaze was so strong that Feng Jiuyuan almost felt it as soon as it appeared. When he looked over, he met eyes with Di Qin.
Those eyes, as black as unfading ink, carried endless chill, making people feel terrified at a glance.
Seeing Di Qin, Feng Jiuyuan was first stunned, then raised an eyebrow and smiled arrogantly, his attitude extremely provocative.
They say the Crown Prince of the Tianqi Empire is cold-hearted, ruthless, and extremely cruel, not fond of company, and ignorant of emotions. Now it seems that rumors are just rumors, not to be believed at all.
Di Qin looked at him coldly, the substantial killing intent in his gaze making those around him shiver involuntarily.
The High Priest sitting beside Di Qin felt it even more strongly. He even suspected that if it weren’t in the competition arena but elsewhere, Di Qin might have taken direct action.
After provoking Di Qin, Feng Jiuyuan descended from the competition stage and returned to his seat leisurely.
As soon as Feng Jiuyuan sat down, a teacher from the Western Wuyu Empire turned his head and looked at him, speaking in a deep voice, “Feng Jiuyuan, I know you’re the young master of Jiuyuan City. Your identity is noble, but I still want to remind you, don’t provoke Di Qin.”
“Why?” Feng Jiuyuan raised an eyebrow. “Are you afraid that if I provoke him, he’ll cause trouble for the empire?”
The teacher from the Western Wuyu Empire responded, “He’s the Crown Prince of the empire. He won’t randomly cause trouble for another empire because of you. He’ll only trouble you.”
“I’m reminding you because you’re a student of our empire’s academy, for your own good,” the teacher continued. “Di Qin is not to be provoked. You have a wicked temperament, and he is inherently wicked. Do you understand?”
From his birth to the deaths of those who came into contact with him later on, the Di of the Tianhuang Empire knew about all these things, as did the royal families of the Four Great Empires. So unless absolutely necessary, no one wanted to provoke Di Qin.
“Too wicked.”
Regarding Di Qin, Feng Jiuyuan had never investigated, but as the young master of Jiuyuan City, there were some things he didn’t need to investigate to know.
“Teacher, don’t worry, I didn’t intend to provoke him,” Feng Jiuyuan replied nonchalantly.
“You didn’t provoke him,” the teacher from the Western Wuyu Empire said with a cold expression, “you’re just taunting him.”
“Tsk,” Feng Jiuyuan clicked his tongue lightly, not bothering to refute the teacher’s words.
“I’ve said what needs to be said. What you do is up to you.” Seeing that Feng Jiuyuan was not receptive to guidance, the teacher didn’t say anything more and turned back to watch the competition.
Feng Jiuyuan smirked and looked towards Di Qin.
As soon as he looked over, Di Qin glanced in his direction.
Di Qin’s gaze was heavy, with an unmistakable warning in his eyes.
Upon seeing this, Feng Jiuyuan’s smirk became even more insolent.
The teacher was right; he was indeed taunting him.
The Crown Prince of the Tianqi Empire, the genius renowned throughout the Central Continent, he wanted to see for himself if Di Qin was truly as outstanding and wicked as rumored.
