The protagonist of this crossover film and television series is disrupting the plot again.

Chapter 382 The Young Singer's Journey 51

At this moment, Xiao Yu was dressed in a fiery red robe, with exquisite and delicate gold embroidery cleverly outlining the collar and cuffs. The intricate and gorgeous patterns on the robe shone brightly in the sunlight.

The flamboyant and unrestrained color of his clothes made him appear like a blazing flame under the scorching summer sun, dazzling and eye-catching, as if he could rival the sun and moon in brilliance.

Xiao Yu rarely wears such bright colors; after all, even he finds these colors glaringly bright.

But there is no way.

Now that Emperor Mingde has returned, he has to follow the original owner's character.

Long Xie was still somewhat uneasy: "But His Majesty's high regard for Prince Yong'an is well-known. If Prince Yong'an really returns to Tianqi City..."

Xiao Yu gave Long Xie a deep look, the weight of which instantly silenced Long Xie, who dared not utter another word.

Xiao Yu was unwilling to mention Xiao Chuhe because he was very disappointed with the Xiao Chuhe of this world.

In terms of talent, aptitude, power, and resources, Xiao Chuhe undoubtedly far surpasses the other princes.

Clan law and public opinion were all on his side.

It can be said that Xiao Chuhe four years ago was the hidden crown prince of Beili.

But what did he do?

He actually beat up a guard in the palace because of the Prince of Langya's rebellion, and even contradicted the emperor in front of all the officials in the court.

Finally, Emperor Mingde demoted him to a commoner and exiled him to Qingzhou.

He was ambushed by various forces along the way, which damaged his hidden meridians, leaving him half-crippled. He has been missing for four years.

Xiao Yu couldn't understand whether Xiao Chuhe truly wanted to seek justice for the Prince of Langya, or was simply sulking with Emperor Mingde because his own demands hadn't been met.

After all, his actions were just like those of children who couldn't get what they wanted from their parents. He used his position in his parents' hearts to try to force them to give in through self-sacrifice.

He appeared to be acting with righteous indignation, pleading for the Prince of Langya, but in reality, he was fighting for the sake of his own pride.

If he truly wanted to exonerate the Prince of Langya, he should have stayed in the court and used his influence to investigate the suspicious points in the case, and openly and legitimately seek justice for the Prince of Langya.

After all, as the most valued prince of Emperor Mingde, Xiao Chuhe possessed unique advantages and resources in Tianqi City. His status and position paved a broad road to power for him.

Only in Tianqi City could he fully exert his influence and have the opportunity to push forward and thoroughly investigate the case of the Prince of Langya.

Otherwise, how could a powerless commoner overturn the verdict against the Prince of Langya?

It seems that he can only use his experience of speaking up for the Prince of Langya to build a brave and fearless image for himself in front of those in the know, and to glorify himself.

But what real help can this approach bring him?

Perhaps people will praise him for his fearlessness in the face of power and his commendable courage.

But this is just empty praise.

Faced with the harsh reality, how many people would truly stand up for him and lend him a helping hand?

Perhaps Xiao Chuhe has realized this, which is why he has returned to the martial world, attempting to reunite the Four Guardians of Tianqi and strengthen his own power in order to exonerate the Prince of Langya.

To this, Xiao Yu could only say: Where were you all this time?

If he hadn't been so impulsive back then and hadn't been demoted to a commoner, with his status as the Prince of Yong'an, the eldest son of Emperor Mingde, and the hidden crown prince of Beili, he probably would have overturned Xiao Ruofeng's case long ago. Why would it have dragged on for four years?

Most importantly, the moment Xiao Yu saw Xiao Chuhe, he knew that the man was already crippled.

The word "ruined" here doesn't refer to his martial arts skills, but rather to his willpower.

The Xiao Chuhe of today is not Xiao Chuhe at all; he is just Xiao Se.

To neglect public duty for private gain.

He was no longer a prince capable of shouldering the heavy responsibilities of his country, and he no longer even considered himself a prince.

All he's thinking about now is using the identity of "Prince Yong'an" to exonerate Xiao Ruofeng and clear his name of the past.

Once his wish is fulfilled, he will irresponsibly pack up and leave to roam the martial arts world freely.

He never thought of using his abilities and talents to do anything for Beili or to benefit the people of the world.

He hadn't considered how much turmoil it would cause to the country if he returned to Tianqi City as the Prince of Yong'an in the future, fulfilled his wishes, and then gave up that identity again.

He never imagined that by repeatedly disrupting the balance that Apocalypse City had maintained, how many people would be implicated and harmed as a result.

Xiao Yu was truly disappointed with Xiao Chuhe in this world.

Perhaps, Xiao Chuhe has long since disappeared from this world, leaving only a desolate figure whose heart is still in the world of martial arts.

……

When Marquis Lanyue arrived at Snow Moon City at top speed, he was greeted by a scene of gloom and desolation.

This city, which should have been bustling with activity, was now filled with an indescribable heavy atmosphere.

Since being provoked by Xiao Yu's words, the Great City Lord Baili Dongjun has been struggling with his own thoughts.

He kept telling himself that the love between him and Yueyao was true love.

At times like these, Xiao Yu's words would echo in his mind, like a sharp knife, constantly cutting open wounds in his heart, telling him that Yueyao had never truly loved him.

These two completely different voices intertwined and collided in his mind, causing him immense pain.

To escape this pain, he could only numb himself with alcohol.

Logically speaking, Baili Dongjun shouldn't have reacted so strongly.

However, since Yueyao's death, he has lost interest in everything and everyone around him, and his only thought is to reunite with his beloved Yueyao in his dreams.

His obsession had taken root in his heart and become his only motivation to live.

The love between him and Yueyao was the pillar supporting this obsession.

Now that the pillar has collapsed, his obsession has immediately transformed into a demon, constantly eroding his heart.

He could accept Yueyao's death, but he couldn't accept that Yueyao didn't love him.

As a result, he became depressed and dejected, wallowing in pain all day long. If it weren't for Tang Lian taking care of him, he probably would have died.

Sikong Changfeng's condition was much better than Baili Dongjun's.

Although he was deeply troubled by his wife's concealment of her true identity, he could also understand her predicament.

Although his wife was a princess of Nanjue, she had given up on restoring the kingdom and only wanted to live a peaceful life. Revealing her identity would only add trouble to their lives.

Besides, now that his wife has passed away, what's the point of dwelling on the past?

Sikong Changfeng sighed deeply, rallied his spirits, and began to manage the affairs of Snow Moon City.

Now, Baili Dongjun is listless all day long, while Li Hanyi only knows how to practice swordsmanship and doesn't care about the affairs of Xueyue City. Only he can manage the affairs of the city.

But that's good too; keeping him busy will make him forget that he's already a useless person.
