793: Chapter 271: Instigation_4 793: Chapter 271: Instigation_4 Shao Siming followed and upon seeing the scene, she sneered inwardly.
However, she also knew that she could not let the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow truly die there.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to explain herself to the Tai Yi, the Eastern Emperor.
The Eastern Emperor Tai Yi and Emperor Jun were planning to join forces, aware of the current situation in the Three Realms.
They knew that forming an alliance was crucial for survival in the Three Realms.
The alliance was an inevitable result.
If the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow were to be killed before Emperor Jun’s return, regardless of the murderer, it would inevitably be linked to Shao Siming.
At that time, once Emperor Jun directed his anger at her, it could affect her relationship with the Eastern Emperor Tai Yi.
She would then be a criminal.
Therefore, Shao Siming took action.
She attacked Great Yi because he was relatively weaker.
However, Great Yi sensed her immediately and dodged Shao Siming’s strike.
He then immediately drew his bow and shot an arrow at her.
The arrow pierced through Shao Siming’s body, leaving a bloody hole and almost causing her body to explode.
This infuriated Shao Siming; it was as if he had been waiting for her to come, the arrow clearly tailored for her.
Her attempt to ambush Great Yi backfired, and she was almost killed in retaliation.
Great Yi glared at Shao Siming, a sneer on his face, “Being from the Primordial era’s Human Race, I’ve often battled with various ferocious Mythical Beasts and even hunted gods.
I’ve seen even the craftiest of prey.
I sensed your presence the moment you appeared, trying to ambush me?
Not even the most ferocious beast can accomplish that, what do you count for?”
“Insolence.”
Shao Siming rebuked.
He dared to compare her to a beast, even treating her like prey.
It was an utter humiliation.
Shao Siming’s gaze towards Great Yi was filled with murderous intent.
Meanwhile, the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow took the opportunity to turn and run, completely disregarding Shao Siming’s safety.
Shao Siming: “…”
She finally understood why, out of all the sons of the Golden Crow, only the Tenth Son had survived; this guy might not excel in other aspects, but he was definitely the best at escaping.
Yang Jian pursued but only managed to leave a scar on the body of the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow.
However, since the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow was determined to flee, Yang Jian could not keep him.
He quickly disappeared into the horizon, leaving the area.
Shao Siming also fled, in the opposite direction.
She harbored a deep hatred for Great Yi, wishing she could tear him apart.
However, Shao Siming had no intention of staying.
If she could escape now, it would be much harder once the elites of the Heavenly Court targeted them.
Great Yi did not pursue, only shooting a few arrows.
Shao Siming dodged them.
Although she was also injured, she ultimately escaped.
Yang Jian showed a look of regret, as neither of the two had been captured.
However, he also knew that their strengths were not inferior to his; both were ancient creatures who had lived for countless years.
Capturing them was not an easy task.
“It’s really regrettable that they got away,” Great Yi said, taking a deep breath, visibly frustrated.
Yang Jian smiled lightly and said, “The deity need not worry, there will be other opportunities.”
Great Yi nodded, and the two separated.
Great Yi was aware, for some unknown reason, that the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow had incredibly returned last time.
But such a foolish act, he presumably wouldn’t repeat.
Expecting the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow to return was virtually impossible.
When Shao Siming and the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow regrouped, her expression was icy as she stared at the Tenth Son, her piercing gaze making the Tenth Son embarrassed.
He was well aware that because of his actions, Shao Siming had been injured.
“I am just infuriated,”
Before the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow could finish, Shao Siming slapped him across the face.
Her chest heaved uncontrollably, her eyes burning with fury.
“Not to mention your rashness almost got you killed, you ran away looking only after yourself, not caring about your ally.
How can you even claim to be Emperor Jun’s son?
You’re nothing without a handle.”
As she finished speaking, Shao Siming realized something was off.
She spat disdainfully, “Even a eunuch is a hundred times better than you.
You are not even worthy to be called a thing.”
The Tenth Son of the Golden Crow felt somewhat annoyed, but he also knew that today’s incident was indeed his fault.
The fact that Shao Siming had saved him was true.
Had Shao Siming not intervened, he would have been in real danger and might have been killed.
Thinking this, all his anger faded, and he looked at Shao Siming with gratitude filling his gaze.
“I was wrong about today’s incident.
I promise it won’t happen again in the future.
Please forgive me,”
The Tenth Son of the Golden Crow hurriedly said, a smile on his face that immediately made Shao Siming feel weird.
She wondered if there was something wrong with his brain; she had just slapped him, and yet he wasn’t angry but instead seemed even more amiable.
However, she merely scoffed coldly, saying, “This is your problem; I can’t be bothered with it.
Even if you died, it would be your own fault, nothing to do with me.
At most, His Majesty might blame me, but he won’t really punish me.”
For the sake of Emperor Jun’s son, the Tai Yi, the Eastern Emperor, naturally wouldn’t punish Shao Siming.
If it weren’t for the situation in the Three Realms, why would the Eastern Emperor Tai Yi cooperate with Emperor Jun?
The two were competitors at heart.
Shao Siming’s words made the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow somewhat embarrassed.
He didn’t speak but continued to smile, evidently not too upset.
“Let’s go.”
After speaking, Shao Siming didn’t pay any more attention to the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow and turned to leave.
