Earlier, Ye Xunhuan considered that the king’s greatest trump card might be Lin Yuhai, but at this moment, Ye Xunhuan realized that Lin Yuhai would not appear at all, and the king’s greatest trump card was not Lin Yuhai, but his wife, Qiu Ruoxi!

Yes, it was Qiu Ruoxi!

Previously, Olivia had mentioned that the king had invited Qiu Ruoxi from Jiang City to Southeast City.

Although it sounds like an invitation, Ye Xunhuan knew the truth, and if it were truly an invitation, Olivia likely wouldn’t have come over first by herself but would have arrived with Qiu Ruoxi.

Thus, Ye Xunhuan concluded that the king must have used some tactics, forcing Olivia to come here first.

Upon understanding the king’s final trump card, Ye Xunhuan’s face turned extremely grim: "King, you’re truly despicable!"

"Despicable?" The king sneered: "That’s what the weak say to the strong. I’ve already told you before, history is always rewritten by the victors!"

"Looking across Huaxia’s five thousand-year history, it’s just winners and losers. What’s despicable or not?" The king spoke grandly, as if with righteous justification.

But speaking back, looking across Huaxia’s history, indeed it’s winners and losers; just look at Xiang Yu and Liu Bang!

If Xiang Yu had been ruthless enough back then, would there have been Liu Bang later, and the self-sacrifice of a king at Wujiang?

Moreover, flipping through informal histories and even official ones, Liu Bang has been somewhat despicable.

Ye Xunhuan took a deep breath, slowly suppressing the anger in his heart, then said to the king: "King, what exactly do you want?"

"Aren’t you going to look at the person first?"

At this moment, the king seemed to hold the winning hand, his face filled with pride.

Once he finished speaking, the king didn’t give Ye Xunhuan a chance to open his mouth, and then he spoke again: "Let’s see the person first, lest you say I’m deceiving you!"

Saying this, the king immediately placed his left pinky finger in his mouth and blew a melodious whistle!

At this moment, Ye Xunhuan and others didn’t make a move against the king; they all knew in their hearts that now was not the time to act against the king, if Qiu Ruoxi was indeed in the king’s hands, things would become extremely tricky!

Soon after, two men brought Qiu Ruoxi, slowly appearing in everyone’s sight.

Right now, Qiu Ruoxi didn’t look any different from usual, if there were a difference, it was the thick worry etched on her delicate face.

When Qiu Ruoxi saw Ye Xunhuan, her worried face immediately revealed a thick look of delight: "Xunhuan..."

Speaking, Qiu Ruoxi wanted to go to Ye Xunhuan, but before she could reach his side, the king’s figure flickered, appearing directly in front of Qiu Ruoxi, blocking her path.

At this moment, Ye Xunhuan’s face looked extremely unpleasant, his cold gaze as if he wanted to tear the king apart.

Facing Ye Xunhuan’s cold, menacing gaze, the king seemed utterly unfazed, appearing unusually calm: "Ye Xunhuan, now you’ve seen the person, right?"

"King, what exactly do you want?"

Qiu Ruoxi wanted desperately to go to Ye Xunhuan, but a force seemed to surround her, preventing her from taking a step closer to him.

"What do I want?" The king chuckled softly: "What I want, don’t you already know?"

"I’ll give you the Taiji Seal!" Ye Xunhuan said heavily.

"No, no!" The king immediately shook his head.

"Then what do you want?"

"One Taiji Seal is not enough!" The king said nonchalantly: "You need to abolish your martial arts and then come with me, otherwise, I can only apologize to her!"

Saying this, the king directed his gaze towards Qiu Ruoxi, the meaning clear without words.

How could Ye Xunhuan not understand the king’s meaning?

Understanding the king’s intention, Ye Xunhuan’s face slowly contorted in rage: "King, you said before..."

"Yes, I said I wouldn’t harm her, but it doesn’t mean they won’t do anything to her!" The king interrupted Ye Xunhuan: "I just need to speak!"

"You..."

"Ye Xunhuan, I don’t have time to dither with you here!" The king interrupted Ye Xunhuan again: "You consider carefully whether to do as I say, or let her suffer!"

This time, Ye Xunhuan didn’t speak again, the whole person fell into silence.

Ye Xunhuan’s silence naturally led to others not speaking either, each quietly waiting for Ye Xunhuan’s decision.

After all, Qiu Ruoxi was Ye Xunhuan’s wife; if they made the decision for him, even if they killed the king, Qiu Ruoxi would surely not be saved, and how could Ye Xunhuan not hate them then?

So, at this moment, no one dared to speak, nor did anyone dare to make any decisions for Ye Xunhuan.

After a long while, Ye Xunhuan slowly exhaled a heavy breath and said: "King, you’re so despicable, how can I know whether you’re telling the truth!"

"Ye Xunhuan, my target is you, and today, if not for Jue Tian, do you think you would have been able to handle me even if you all joined forces?" The king spoke Jue Tian’s name, clearly aware Jue Tian was still alive, though he hadn’t been sure before.

Though the king’s words were arrogant and proud, one can’t deny that he indeed had the capital to be arrogant and proud, and what the king said was entirely true!

Without Jue Tian’s involvement, they really would have struggled against the king.

"To bring things to this point, it’s all Jue Tian’s doing; without him, your wife wouldn’t be here, at least not now." The king said softly: "Ye Xunhuan, now can you tell me your answer!"

"Of course, you can make a move, but before you do, you should consider what will happen next!" The king reminded Ye Xunhuan once again.

"Xunhuan, don’t agree to him, don’t agree to him!"

Although Qiu Ruoxi was somewhat confused about the situation, she knew she was once again held hostage, used against Ye Xunhuan!

At this moment, Qiu Ruoxi only felt she had entirely become Ye Xunhuan’s weakness, also turning into his burden!

Ye Xunhuan didn’t speak, instead slowly focusing his gaze on Qiu Ruoxi!

"Xunhuan, don’t agree to him, never agree to him..."

Facing Qiu Ruoxi’s plea to Ye Xunhuan, the king didn’t care, remaining calm, quietly waiting for Ye Xunhuan’s response, as if he already saw Ye Xunhuan compromising.
