"You... you really aren't joking?" Liu Shan stammered.
He had initially found it hard to believe, but when he saw his aunt lost in thought, he couldn't help but waver.
Liu Shan had always listened to his aunt. To him, Aunt Liu Cuihua was a superwoman with divine power. Her words were never wrong.
But now that this person claimed to be Fuxi, and his aunt didn't shoot him on sight but instead fell into contemplation, Liu Shan was extremely surprised. Could it really be Fuxi?
Ashe pondered for a long time, and Li Hong did not interrupt her thoughts, quietly waiting for her response.
After a while, Ashe finally spoke up, "Can you guarantee that everything you said is true?"
"Absolutely no falsehood!" Li Hong asserted.
In fact, Li Hong wasn't lying. In the chaotic world of the Three Kingdoms, the people were suffering. Ending this chaos as soon as possible was undoubtedly a good thing. Although he didn't believe he could truly bring an end to this turmoil, it was certainly better than doing nothing at all.
Having unexpectedly fallen into this world of the Three Kingdoms, Li Hong felt he had to do something. Otherwise, he might as well hide in some remote mountain forest and wait for the Supreme God to rescue him.
Ashe let out a sigh of relief and said to Li Hong in a serious tone, "Remember everything from today! If you fail to do so, even if I have to chase you to the Cape of the Ends, I will not let you go."
Li Hong felt a surge of joy upon hearing this; it seemed Ashe intended to give up the throne!
This was fantastic! After all, if Liu Shan, this incapable ruler, continued as emperor, even if he allied with Zhuge Liang, there would be no guarantee of ending this chaos.
Then Ashe turned to Liu Shan and said, "This kingdom should not belong to you. It’s better if you relinquish it; at least you won't have to live in fear during these chaotic times."
Liu Shan nodded; he didn't mind at all. With his personality, he could do without the throne. As long as it didn't interfere with his research on the Evangelion, he was fine with anything.
With Liu Shan's agreement secured, Ashe turned back to Li Hong and said, "Then here's what we'll do: once the Chancellor returns to court, we will hold the Abdication Ceremony. From now on, you will be the new emperor of Shu Han."
Li Hong scratched his head and replied, "Alright then. Just make sure you talk to Zhuge Liang about it. I'm afraid if I go to him myself, he'll kill me."
This was not entirely unfounded, after all, for Zhuge Liang, the number one sycophant of the Liu Clan, it was already a stroke of luck not to be killed.
Having settled this matter, Ashe immediately lifted the frost seal from the Barbarian King. Just as the Barbarian King regained consciousness and prepared to move his body, a peculiar long sword that resembled a blade but was not quite one blocked his path.
"I disagree with this matter!"
A masked man stepped forward with his sword, standing in front of Ashe.
Ashe exclaimed, "Master Yi, you came out too?"
The man referred to as Master Yi nodded and said in a deep voice, "I have been secretly protecting Liu Shan. Now that I have heard about your situation, I have decided to express my opinion."
"Uh..."
An unexpected interruption from Cheng Yaojin left Li Hong feeling helpless. Although he had long suspected that League of Legends had intruded into the Three Kingdoms World, Master Yi's appearance still shocked Li Hong.
Where did this damn guy who keeps barging in come from?
"Master Yi, we are listening," Ashe nodded.
Master Yi retracted his long sword and said in a low tone, "In this chaotic world, my greatest realization is that we need a capable leader. Logically, I should not oppose this. However, this person before me only knows how to boast; what ability does he have to end this chaos?"
"Hey now, I don't like what you just said. What do you mean I only know how to boast? I'm quite strong!" Li Hong retorted defiantly.
Master Yi's words struck a nerve with Li Hong. What did he mean by only knowing how to boast? Could he not see Li Hong's capabilities?
"Then tell me, how do you plan to defeat Cao Wei and Sun Wu? Don't tell me it's just because of your silver tongue," Master Yi shook his head and asked.
"Hmph!"
Li Hong let out a cold snort and explained, "I've made up my mind. I will form two special task forces. One will be called the League of Heroes, and the other will be called Glory of Kings! Both teams will consist entirely of exceptionally skilled individuals. Cao Wei and Sun Wu may be strong, but they cannot stop my progress."
Master Yi stroked his chin, deep in thought. "That's actually a good idea. After all, when it comes to raw strength, Cao Wei and Sun Wu clearly have the upper hand. To come up with such a solution, it seems I was too subjective. In that case, I won't oppose it any further."
Li Hong was speechless.
"You were the first to oppose this idea, and now you're backing down! I just threw out a random thought, and you betrayed me?"
Not only Li Hong, but Ashe and Liu Shan were also at a loss for words. They had expected Master Yi to contribute something substantial, but it turned out he was just seeking attention.
Afterward, Master Yi picked up his sword and prepared to turn away. However, this time he was stopped by Barbarian King Tadamir.
"Hmm? What do you want?" Master Yi asked in surprise.
What did Barbarian King Tadamir mean? Did he have some differing opinion?
Tadamir sneered, "You think you can just walk away? You came out to disrupt my boss's plans; considering your change of heart, I won't hold it against you. But you threatened me with your sword before, and that's something I can't overlook!"
"That was just an accident! What are you doing, Barbarian Dog?" Ashe shouted angrily.
"Ashe, stay out of this! I can sense his hostility towards me. It looks like we have no choice but to fight today," Master Yi said as he raised his sword.
"Fight?"
"Fight!" Tadamir nodded.
"Alright then, this place isn't suitable for a proper battle. Let's find a more spacious area," Master Yi sheathed his sword.
Tadamir nodded and followed Master Yi out of the back garden.
Li Hong and Ashe exchanged a glance, then without a second thought, they followed suit.
Ashe was anxious; one was the man she deeply loved, and the other was a master she greatly respected. She couldn't bear the thought of either of them getting hurt.
Li Hong felt the same way. At this critical moment, every high-level combatant needed to be protected. If Master Yi and Barbarian King Tadamir lost control and something went wrong, it would be troublesome.
The group were all skilled fighters, and in a few swift movements, they arrived at a spacious plaza outside the palace.
The plaza wasn't large, but it was sufficient for two people to showcase their abilities. The only issue was that a patch of chrysanthemums had been planted around the plaza by someone unknown.
"That was planted by Zhao Yun General's grandson," Master Yi explained when he saw Barbarian King Tadamir looking puzzled.
"Who cares? Let's get to it!" Barbarian King said, shaking his head as he charged forward with his blade drawn.
