No one expected the Eldest Princess to suddenly commit murder, especially in front of the Emperor. What a joke; was she trying to stir up a storm?
Qin Feng was momentarily stunned. Such audacity was no wonder it had drawn the Emperor's ire. The old Emperor's expression darkened immediately. "Princess Consort, what are you doing?"
The Eldest Princess remained unfazed. "You don't need to thank me, Brother. I merely dealt with a fool for you."
The old Emperor choked back his words, casting a cold glance at the Eldest Princess, particularly at her youthful face, which felt like a sharp thorn in his side. When their eyes met, he felt a chill run down his spine as he caught a glimpse of madness in her gaze.
He realized that Qin Feng was her taboo, and he had foolishly allowed the eunuchs to test the waters, making a terrible move. He suppressed his rising anger; now was not the time to confront the Eldest Princess.
With a forced smile, he said, "Then I must thank you, Princess Consort."
The Eldest Princess smiled back. "You're too polite, Brother. This is what a younger sister should do."
Qin Feng couldn't help but twitch his lips; they were both excellent actors, each wishing to eliminate the other.
The Emperor took a deep breath and commanded, "Take him away." He then turned around and declared, "Let the Imperial Examination begin."
The candidates snapped back to reality and cautiously returned to their seats. They had no idea what had just transpired but knew it was beyond their capacity to provoke. Each one sat upright, observing with focused eyes.
Qin Feng glanced at the Eldest Princess, understanding that she had stood up for him. He nodded slightly in her direction.
The Eldest Princess beamed with joy at his acknowledgment.
Seeing their interaction, the old Emperor frowned deeper, his expression growing darker. His resolve to eliminate Qin Feng strengthened even more. He silently regretted not dealing with Qin Feng before entering the capital. The people he sent were useless; not only did they fail to eliminate him, but they all ended up dead instead.
Qin Feng naturally noticed the old emperor's gaze, which was not focused on him. Instead, he began to answer the questions seriously. Strangely enough, this time the topic was about whether the emperor could cultivate. They were asked to discuss the implications if the emperor were able to practice cultivation.
In an instant, Qin Feng understood what the old emperor was thinking—he actually wanted to defy fate and cultivate. Currently, Qin Feng had no cultivation at all; he was merely physically strong. More importantly, he relied on the Black Python. As long as he had not fused with the Black Python, they remained independent entities. This was also why he dared to compete for the dragon.
As for the Killing Sword, he only manipulated it with his powerful divine sense; its output was entirely due to the Killing Sword's inherent power. Qin Feng shook his head slightly but still wrote down his thoughts. If the emperor had cultivation, there would indeed be many advantages.
Ning Caichen and the others furrowed their brows. Wasn't it impossible for the emperor to cultivate? What did this mean? Nevertheless, they gritted their teeth and began writing.
The old emperor's eyes flickered for a moment before he stood up and prepared to leave; he couldn't endure sitting for too long, after all, he was getting old.
The Eldest Princess did not move but kept her gaze fixed on Qin Feng. He felt a bit uncomfortable but thought it wouldn’t do to avoid her stare.
Before long, Qin Feng finished writing and looked up at the Princess Consort. "Can I submit my paper now?"
"Oh, you finished?" The Eldest Princess came back to her senses and stood up in a bit of a panic.
Qin Feng nodded slightly.
She walked over, glanced at the exam paper, and reached out to take it. "You can go back now."
Qin Feng cupped his hands in respect and turned to leave. Seeing that others were also finishing up their papers, they hurriedly quickened their pace.
