My System Is Three Thousand Years Early

Commandery Princess Ning discovered that the several people who appeared in front of her initially focused their attention on herself, but they soon turned their gaze to the Town-Nation Duke’s Heir standing atop the teahouse.

Cheng Guang, the Town-Nation Duke’s Heir, faced the numerous powerful figures standing at the pinnacle of society, his calm countenance barely changed; he continuously observed the sky with a serene look in his eyes.

It seemed as though he felt there was something worth watching above the clouded sky.

He kept looking without stopping.

He did not put his mind on the strong individuals sent by the three great dynasties or on those from other royal families and noble clans. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Facing Cheng Guang in such a state, many strong individuals seemingly felt humiliated, their faces slightly green with displeasure.

But due to Cheng Guang’s identity and the fact that the solemn-faced experts from the Bureau of the Lamp stood guard in all directions, no one wished to step forward and confront the multitude of powerful figures from Great Zhou.

Not to mention Qin Beifeng, Qian Siyuan, and Li Zhengyang.

The other Gold Lantern Catchers and a group of Silver Lantern Catchers from the Bureau of the Lamp alone were a hard bone to gnaw for the average royal or noble clan.

Cheng Guang calmly watched the sky; he was indeed looking for something.

Cheng Guang knew that Commandery Princess Ning’s identity being exposed was not a coincidence, nor an accident, but the result of someone’s calculated plot.

Who could that person be?

Sitting amidst the clouds, like an immortal manipulating the ordinary people of the world, considering those from the World Royal Family and the remnants of Great Chu as mere chess pieces.

Even Cheng Guang himself was regarded as part of the chess game.

Cheng Guang’s heart was filled with confusion.

Looking at the sky.

Under the cover of the pitch-black night, the sky was impenetrable, like an unfathomably deep abyss, unclear to the eye.

Cheng Guang kept looking but could not find the one who appeared near the pillar of light that caused Commandery Princess Ning to reveal her state of mind to the world.

He slowly withdrew his gaze, looking at the surrounding people who were watching him with hungry eyes.

The normally calm and steady expression on his face barely changed.

Cheng Guang scanned the crowd and slowly spoke, "Domineering?"

"Domineering or not, today, her, I shall protect."

In the end, Cheng Guang’s gaze fell once again on the sky.

It seemed that he was also speaking to the person above the clouds who regarded him as a chess piece.

He was not worried that his brash actions would have any consequences.

Right now, he just wanted to drag out the person behind the scenes who had laid out this chessboard.

At the same time, Cheng Guang also wanted to understand why the person hidden behind the scenes had gone to such lengths, orchestrating such an elaborate game, to what end.

After Cheng Guang finished speaking,

the expression of Wu Qiche, a Prince of the Great Yuan Dynasty, shifted. He felt a sense of strangeness towards this Town-Nation Duke’s Heir whom he was seeing for the first time.

In his intelligence reports, Cheng Guang, the Town-Nation Duke’s Heir, did not seem like a fool.

Even if his identity was distinguished and the power of his Bureau of the Lamp was not weak, it was unwise to make enemies with all the people in the world to obtain the remnants of Great Chu under these circumstances.

If Cheng Guang, the Town-Nation Duke’s Heir, had secretly acquired the remnants of Great Chu and brought them back to the Great Zhou Dynasty, it would have been one thing, but now, as the identity of the remnants of Great Chu was exposed and the eyes of the world were upon them, Cheng Guang still intended to monopolize the remnants of Great Chu alone.

Sheer folly!

How could he dare!?

Is he foolish!?

Wu Qiche took a deep breath, looked at the calm countenance of the Town-Nation Duke’s Heir, and still found it hard to believe that the Heir had such an ironclad head.

At the same time, he also did not know what the Town-Nation Duke’s Heir’s purpose was.

After his expression changed, he made no further sound.

He prepared to watch and observe.

At the same moment, the aged Li Longhu, upon hearing Cheng Guang’s words, showed little change in his weathered countenance, stroked his beard, and his eyes showed contemplation.

Li Zhongxin had not met Cheng Guang before, but he was familiar with Cheng Guang’s basic information.

Upon hearing such domineering words from Cheng Guang,

he, too, could not help but be slightly surprised.

Looking at Cheng Guang, his eyebrows slowly furrowed.

He knew, without a doubt, that Cheng Guang, the Town-Nation Duke’s Heir of Great Zhou, would quickly be taught a lesson.

So many people, so many forces had gathered together, they wouldn’t even give the royal family of Great Yan face, how then could they give face to Cheng Guang, the Town-Nation Duke’s Heir?

Lastly, the middle-aged man from Great Wei, upon hearing Cheng Guang’s words, showed a trace of emotion on his icy countenance, staring at Cheng Guang, then, unexpectedly, his eyes showed admiration.

He laughed, his laughter cold, like the grating sound of iron scraping, emanated from his mouth.

"The Princely Heir has great courage. My Great Wei has never been particularly interested in this remnant of Great Chu. If the Princely Heir can withstand the world’s people, then I, Guan Kezhong, shall also refrain from taking action," said Guan Kezhong.

As soon as Guan Kezhong’s words fell,

they stirred quite a ripple.

Those words, nonetheless, made Cheng Guang take a few more looks at Guan Kezhong.

At that moment, above the clouds,

sat the person who resembled an immortal, donning a white robe, amidst the fog, pulling at the strings of the world’s fate. He lowered his gaze slightly, and his eyes fell upon Cheng Guang.

He was quite surprised by Cheng Guang’s actions.

He looked at Commandery Princess Ning, shielded by the strong figures of the Bureau of the Lamp, and rubbed his forehead with a slight headache.

"Someone is actually protecting her..."

When he looked back at Cheng Guang,

he seemed to have discovered something and let out a soft exclamation.

"Strange."

"Why can’t I see through this Town-Nation Duke’s Heir...?"

As the man performed a quick calculation with his fingers, it took but a moment before his body shook violently as if struck by lightning, his eyes wide in shock, and "pfft," a mouthful of fresh blood was spat out, dyeing the sky blood-red.
