When Yi Jinyi heard this, he thought Chu Xuanyao was really sharp-tongued to say such things.
There is no need to think about how irritating such words are. Yi Jinyi noticed all the changes in Mo Yu.
He looked at Mo Yu for help, but Mo Yu was so overwhelmed by anger that he could no longer see Yi Jinyi's expression.
He lowered his head, and everyone thought that Lord Mo had really become a coward and was scared.
He was frightened before he even went on stage, and couldn't help but despise him in his heart, but only Yi Jinyi knew how angry Mo Yu was.
He suppressed his emotions and began to pray in his heart, hoping that Mo Yu could treat this matter as air and not take it to heart.
However, things went against his wishes. Mo Yu raised his eyes, and narrowed his peach blossom eyes slightly, giving people a kind and lovely feeling, but there was a murderous look in his eyes.
Mo Yu looked at Chu Xuanyao with a sneer. Although he looked kind, his whole body exuded a gentle murderous aura.
"Prince Chu is really joking. How could the head of our Marquis of Weiwu be such a weakling?"
Everyone was shocked. They didn't expect Mo Yu to say such words. The Marquis, who was always gentle and approachable, could actually be so tough.
They turned their heads to look at the big, mighty, and muscular Prince of Lanyue Kingdom standing beside them.
Take another look at the tall and amiable-looking Marquis, and think about it, and you will know what the outcome will be.
Chu Xuanyao laughed, a loud and generous laugh.
"Lord Mo is really straightforward. It seems that Lord Weiwu has some backbone, otherwise I would have thought... Haha..."
Chu Xuanyao didn’t say the rest of the words, but it seemed like they were unpleasant words.
Mo Yu's head was filled with anger, and he smiled evilly.
"This Marquis is naturally straightforward. The prince of Lanyue Country has invited me many times, and I have refused many times. If I don't agree again, I'm afraid that Prince Chu will lose face."
This sentence was a blatant provocation, saying that Mo Yu had just been ignoring him and that he only agreed after he begged desperately.
Chu Xuanyao understood the meaning and wanted to say something, but suddenly remembered that Mo Yu agreed to his competition, and then he smiled.
"Haha, thank you Lord Mo for agreeing. This way I can see if Lord Mo has the demeanor of Lord Mo in his past."
Whether he opened his mouth or closed it, Chu Xuanyao kept mentioning Mo Yu's father's name, and kept bringing up the knot in his heart.
"Oh? Really? I hope the prince of Lanyue Kingdom won't lose to our Marquis Weiwu like he did before. I don't know why I thought Lanyue Kingdom hadn't made any progress, and the people hadn't made any progress either."
Mo Yu smiled sarcastically, but only Chu Xuanyao saw the sarcasm in it, while the others still looked at him as kind.
Chu Xuanyao was taken advantage of and was angry. He pointed his index finger at the person in front of him.
"You... don't think..."
When Yi Jinyi saw that the fight was in full swing, he immediately spoke up, urging them to stop. If it continued like this, the two would probably start fighting.
Chu Xuanyao is a man who openly challenges me in front of me. I'm afraid he is risking his life.
"How dare you! That's enough!"
Yi Jinyi roared loudly, and Chu Xuanyao realized his impoliteness just now.
Then he stopped what he was doing and lowered his head.
"Prince Chu, have I told you not to mention the previous incident again? Now that our two countries are on good terms, there is no need to mention this matter. If something happens between the two countries, who will take responsibility?"
With just one sentence, Yi Jinyi directed all the blame at Chu Xuanyao.
Chu Xuanyao understood what the emperor meant. If he mentioned this matter again and the two countries went to war, he would be the culprit.
"This... is due to my poor consideration. I acknowledge my guilt and I beg Your Majesty to forgive me."
Yi Jinyi's face looked grim. If it weren't for the face of the two countries, he would have executed the person in front of him long ago.
"I don't want to say more. There is no point in saying more. I am in a good mood today and don't want to see such a quarrel."
Everyone lowered their heads, not daring to look at the emperor's eyes. Chu Xuanyao also knew that he had caused trouble.
I should have challenged Mo Yu to a duel in private. This behavior should not have happened.
"I understand. I will keep it in mind. I hope Your Majesty will calm down."
Everyone knelt down as well, lowering their heads.
"I hope the emperor will calm down."
Yi Jinyi waved his hand and said, "Chu Xuanyao, just wait for me. If I don't teach you a lesson, do you really think I'm a sick cat?"
I want you to taste how powerful I am, so unbridled.
"Alright, everyone, get up. Remember my words. Alright, let's go and return to the capital."
After saying this, the servants around him prepared the carriage to go back.
Chu Xuanyao, who had been keeping his head down, was in a state of confusion and looked at Yi Jinyi hesitantly.
"Your Majesty, I... the competition I just invited..."
Yi Jinyi didn't say anything, but looked at Mo Yu.
"I can't make the decision on this. It depends on Lord Mo's decision."
Chu Xuanyao looked at Mo Yu, turned slightly and looked at Mo Yu.
"Lord Mo, the reputation of the Mighty Marquis depends on you. I will definitely win and overcome the shame of that game that year."
Mo Yu saw all of Chu Xuanyao's actions and gave Yi Jinyi a look that reassured him.
Then he turned his eyes to look at Chu Xuanyao and smiled slightly.
"Of course, I, Mo Yu, will definitely fulfill my words and promises. I have accepted your invitation and will not regret it."
Yi Jinyi was furious. He wanted to stop it, but he had just said that he would not make the decision. However...
As a king of a country, he naturally cannot go back on his word. He can only wait for Mo Yu's decision. How much he hopes he will refuse.
But it was always beyond his expectations.
Chu Xuanyao smiled and nodded.
"Lord Mo is a man of his word. I look forward to the competition. If the time is confirmed, I will let Lord Mo know. I will follow Lord Mo's instructions on the specific arrangements."
Chu Xuanyao did this to give face to Mo Yu. Helpless, Yi Jinyi had no choice but to agree.
Mo Yu agreed, not because Chu Xuanyao's provocation was successful, but for the reputation of the Weiwu Hou Mansion.
A few days later
Yi Jinyi was very worried and told Mo Yu about Chu Xuanyao's strength.
Once the words are spoken, they cannot be taken back. We can only go ahead with it.
Yi Jinyi secretly stuffed some pills into his mouth for him to take before the competition, hoping to narrow the gap in strength between the two.
"Bang bang..."
The drums of war sounded
Two men in armor are now on the stage. Both of them have serious eyes and tall figures. Chu Xuanyao's figure overpowers Mo Yu a little.
Mo Yu knew that this would be a tough battle, and he did not expect that Chu Xuanyao was the most powerful martial artist in Lanyue Kingdom.
But for the sake of Marquis Weiwu's reputation, he had to fight.
The game started and the two began to compete. The gap was here, and Mo Yu was at a disadvantage at the beginning.
Thick beads of sweat appeared on Mo Yu's forehead, and he was breathing heavily. The people off the court cheered enthusiastically, but they held their breath and watched Mo Yu's every move closely...
