Ye Xiyue could guess what these people were thinking without looking closely.
Pei Qingyu was the first to react. He took a step forward and his eyes rested on Emperor Shitian's arm around Ye Xiyue's waist for a moment, becoming more and more sure of his guess.
The "His Royal Highness" who secretly followed and protected the junior sister all the way was none other than Emperor Zun!
He looked at Ye Xiyue again and saw that although her body was stained with blood, her breath was still calm. She should be fine, and his heart was finally relieved.
"Junior sister, thank you very much this time."
Not only did he retain the Pei family's position as one of the top five aristocratic families, but he also directly helped them win the first place in the hunting competition. From now on, the Pei family's situation in Lanling will undoubtedly be greatly improved.
Speaking of which, all this is thanks to Ye Xiyue.
Ye Xiyue smiled: "I should have thanked Senior Brother and General Pei."
If they hadn't fought against all odds to give her the spot in the hunting competition, she would have had a lot of trouble getting close to the Huntian Sacred Stone.
When Pei Zhongtian heard this, he quickly said: "Miss Ye is good enough on her own, and we didn't do anything to help."
As he spoke, his eyes involuntarily turned to Emperor Shakti who was standing aside.
I guess Emperor Zun already knew about this, right?
Pei Zhongtian was secretly angry when he thought of how Pei Wenzhi and the others had made a scene with Ye Xiyue when they were at Pei's house.
These people thought that Ye Xiyue had no background, so they bullied her in various ways just because she was a member of the Pei family. The Emperor was probably aware of this!
Judging from Emperor Zun's attitude towards her, Pei Wenzhi and the others will probably be in trouble in the future!
The only good thing is that he believed Qingyu and was polite to Ye Xiyue later, otherwise I don't know the consequences...
What Pei Zhongtian can think of, other people in the Pei family can naturally think of it too.
Pei Wenzhi's face was pale and his eyes were full of disbelief, but the scene in front of him was so real that he could not believe it!
His mind was empty, and there was only one voice left in his heart.
It’s over… it’s over!
No matter what Ye Xiyue's background is, it is clear that she has a close relationship with Emperor Zun. He offended her severely before, what should he do in the future?!
Pei Zhouping's reaction was not much better than Pei Wenzhi's. His lips were pursed tightly and his heart was trembling.
He did not offend Ye Xiyue directly, but it was Pei Xingchen who sent out a call for help in the Black Water Realm just now, which caused a series of troubles later.
Ye Xiyue was definitely implicated by him!
After all the calculations, his fate will probably not be any better than that of his second brother!
Pei Xueyu and others who were standing behind were also panicked, and couldn't help but murmur softly: "How could it be...how could she and Emperor Zun...how come there was no news at all before!"
This is Lanling!
Ye Xiyue has such a trump card, but she has hidden it until now?!
Yanfeng put his hands behind his back and slowly tightened his palms.
Not only the Pei family, but everyone else present was also shocked.
Many thoughts flashed through Cheng Chongjun's mind, and he finally took a step forward, cupped his fists and saluted:
"Fortunately, Emperor Zun took action and saved the hunting ground from disaster. Miss Ye is really outstanding, which makes us admire her with admiration."
There is no dispute about Ye Xiyue's first place. She just relied on her own strength to stand at the top!
When Emperor Shitian heard the second half of the sentence, his thin crimson lips curved slightly.
Cheng Lingsu saw the change in the expression on his face and bit her lip, feeling even more sad in her heart.
