This change was a bit too dramatic. At this moment, it seemed that the king understood that the ghost-like expressions of Lu Yunqing and others earlier might not have been due to the young lady but rather towards this youth.

They never imagined that this youth would appear in such a critical moment like this!

"Of course, don't you think he looks very much like me" The Third Prince spoke up at this time.

After the Third Prince said this, most people understood who this young man was. That's right, it was none other than that someone who hadn't appeared all day—Reckless Youth!

However, why Reckless Youth would appear here and how he could be closely related to the daughter of Venerable Dao Hall puzzled everyone.

"He does look a bit like... oh, you are..." The young lady nodded. The Third Prince did resemble him somewhat; she saw someone else then turned to look at Reckless Youth, "Could it be that the person you were searching for before is your..."

"Cough cough, this isn't the place to talk about such things. It's not as you imagine—it’s just that this Third Prince resembles me but he isn’t my father," Reckless Youth interrupted the young lady.

"Oh, then tell me later. But I didn't expect you would be one of them, making it difficult for me," The young lady frowned.

“I’m also a bit unclear about this situation…” Reckless Youth looked at Lu Yunqing, "Why are all of you here and fighting with them"

"This is all because of your idea. Don't pretend to be clueless," Lu Yunqing said impatiently. This matter was originally brought up by Reckless Youth; now they would use this as an excuse for the young lady to side with themselves.

If she confirmed that it was Reckless Youth's idea, then solving this issue would become much easier. She definitely wouldn't interfere and might even help out.

"My idea What are you saying" Reckless Youth said in confusion. He wasn’t pretending; he simply didn’t know some things and hadn’t connected the dots to think about usurping the throne.

“Didn’t you say we could take advantage of this situation to seize the throne, becoming royalty of Flowstone Kingdom” Lu Yunqing asked.

"Right, that's correct. You're already the de facto rulers here, it’s time to bring things out into the open... wait a moment, don't tell me you’re doing something about usurping the throne now Then where are we exactly In the palace" Reckless Youth finally understood what was happening.

“Don’t you know where this is” Lu Yunqing and others were speechless. It turned out that Reckless Youth didn't even know they were in the palace.

"How would I know I just got here by riding her carriage..." Reckless Youth shook his head. The person he met on the road earlier was this young lady; then, he had climbed into her carriage and ended up here chatting idly with her.

“If we're in the palace now, then aren't you the king” Reckless Youth asked the king.

The king nodded, feeling like crying. He never thought this situation would develop so dramatically. What kind of a mess was this It seemed that he was going to suffer greatly this time around.

“If you are...” Reckless Youth looked at Lu Yunqing and the others, silent for a moment before pulling out a bottle and tossing it to Lu Luntian.

"What is this" Lu Luntian was puzzled. Why would Reckless Youth suddenly throw something at him He should have thrown it to Lu Yunqing instead.

“This is an antidote, capable of neutralizing the drugs in your body,” Reckless Youth explained.

"Oh..." Even as he said this, Lu Luntian's hands moved quickly. He immediately poured one out for himself and then another to Yun Qingyi, but seemed reluctant to say more to her.

Next, Lu Luntian passed the bottle onto Lu Yunqing, first addressing the issue of their drugged state.

At this moment, everyone was somewhat puzzled as to why Reckless Youth threw the antidote to Lu Luntian first instead of the Third Prince or Lu Yunqing. What was even more puzzling was how Reckless Youth had an antidote in the first place.

"Reckless Youth, where did you get this antidote" Lu Yunqing seemed to think of something he didn't want to admit; if it were true, he would go crazy.

“Can I not answer that question” Reckless Youth laughed awkwardly.

Seeing Reckless Youth's reaction, everyone understood what had happened. This was indeed a frustrating situation.

"It’s really you You gave him this medicine" Lu Yunqing’s eyebrows twitched.

This was just an accident, it was just an accident—I didn't know he was the king, and I certainly didn’t expect that he would use these drugs against your family," Reckless Youth said awkwardly. There was no mistaking it; this medicine indeed came from him. But he hadn’t known its intended purpose.

Now everyone could only say "Damn!"

"Lady, what do you plan to do Help me or him" The king asked the young lady at that moment.

“If this is his idea, I would naturally help him. You should feel embarrassed,” the young lady replied directly without considering any difficulties with her decision. Perhaps for her, it wasn’t a difficult matter to decide upon.

Indeed, it was meant to be difficult for her father. The favor owed is from him and not her. If he were here, he would definitely choose the king's side. But this time, she came herself and because of her carefree attitude towards everything, choosing wouldn't be too hard for her.

"Alright then, I will have my father compensate you for other matters, and I'll save your life once. You were supposed to die this time, but now I'm ensuring your safety. Shouldn't that be fine" The lady said nonchalantly.

This was originally meant to be me helping you deal with them; back then, there wouldn't have been any danger for me. Isn't your reasoning a bit far-fetched

The king had plenty of objections but didn't dare say anything out of fear that it would put his life in jeopardy.

He simply couldn't accept why Xianyou knew this lady and happened to be from the Lu family.

"How did you meet her" The king finally asked.

"Of course, it's an opportunity everyone has," Luo Yunqing interjected at this moment. He was retaliating for what the king had said earlier, but he hadn't expected to retaliate so quickly and so smoothly.

"This isn't an opportunity; it's a karmic debt," Xianyou sighed.

"What did you say Do you want to die" The lady was furious. Are we really a karmic debt

“Ah, no, this is my fortune, Your Majesty the Queen, you must have misunderstood just now,” Xianyou immediately said and showed an extremely respectful demeanor.

"That's more like it. To know me, that’s your blessing. You should cherish it,"

“Understood!” Xianyou nodded in response.

“…”

The others were a bit confused. What was the relationship between this Xianyou and this lady He called her "Your Majesty" and referred to himself as "small one." It sounded like they were master and servant, but it didn't seem quite right.

“Xianyou, who is this young lady to you Is she your everything” The Third Master asked curiously. Xianyou used to be a houseman; the Third Master knew that, as well as the fact that Xianyou had an employer who was a young girl.

Putting it all together, it seemed to fit this lady before them very well, making him doubt whether she could be the one.

"No!"

"Then who is she"

"I don’t know. I don't recognize her," Xianyou shook his head and said.

“” Everyone was puzzled. It's clear that the two of them knew each other, so how could he say he didn't

"Cough cough, this queen allows you to know me now. I initially thought you had no self-preservation skills and wanted our relationship unknown by others. But seeing things now, you're not bad at all; there won’t be major issues," the lady said.

So it was like that! This lady didn't allow Xianyou to say he knew her for fear of drawing attention. Her identity is indeed a problem—knowing about their relationship might cause unnecessary trouble for Xianyou.

However, they all were unaware that Xianyou had absolutely no knowledge of her identity before either.

"Oh, I know her. Your Majesty, may I say your full name" Xianyou asked. He needed to ask about this matter as well; otherwise, who knew if the Queen would be unhappy, and he certainly couldn't afford to offend Her Majesty.

Who is Her Majesty There's only one person that Xianyou could call "Queen," Wang Yanru!

Xianyou had long guessed that Wang Yanru was not an ordinary person, but he never expected her to be a member of the Vast Virtue Sect and hold such high status. Even more unexpected was their meeting under these circumstances, with them on opposing sides.

Luckily, Wang Yanru wasn’t too stubborn in front of them; upon learning that Xianyou was here, she immediately defected.

"I'll introduce myself then, and tell you this boy my true identity. Don't be scared," Wang Yanru smiled as she raised her chest proudly. "My name is Wang Yanru, and my father’s name is Wang Chongshan!"

“Wang Chongshan That's quite a legend,” Xianyou said blankly. From the surname of Wang Yanru, he seemed to have thought about Wang Chongshan but still had some doubts since Wang Chongshan was so domineering.

Wang Chongshan wasn’t the leader of Vast Virtue Sect but the sect's highest martial artist; his focus on martial arts meant that he didn't care about the leadership position, which might have been his otherwise.

This kind of situation was quite common, as generally in most sects, the strongest person isn’t always the leader.

Speaking of Wang Chongshan, everyone knew him to be a legend. At first, he wasn't a martial artist but a scholar with the title of 'the greatest talent in the land.' His romantic affairs were well-known across the country and his social circle was extensive; his relationship with Wei family was formed during this period, as was with many others (To Be Continued...)said, diverting the topic as it would make them feel awkward to talk about this face-to-face."Yes, we can see the sunset while climbing," Xiaoyao said.
