They could never have imagined that this young man would appear here like this, at such a crucial moment, in such a crucial place.

"Of course, don't you think he looks a lot like me?" Third Master spoke at this time.

With Third Master's words, most people probably knew this young man's identity. That's right, wasn't this exactly that certain person they had waited for all day without him appearing, Xiaoyao!!

However, why would Xiaoyao appear here, and how could he have an intimate relationship with Haoran Sect's Young Miss? This was something no one could understand.

"He does seem a bit similar... Hey, you are..." That Young Miss nodded. Third Master did seem somewhat similar. She saw another person, then turned back to look at Xiaoyao. "Could it be that the person you were looking for before is your..."

"Cough cough, this isn't the place to talk about this. Things aren't what you imagine. This Third Master just happens to resemble me, but he's not my father," Xiaoyao interrupted that Young Miss's words.

"Oh, then tell me later. But I didn't expect you would be their person, this makes things difficult for me," that Young Miss frowned.

"I'm not very clear either about what exactly is happening..." Xiaoyao looked toward Luo Yunqing. "Why are you all here, and why are you fighting with them?"

...

...

"This was all your idea. Don't play dumb with me now," Luo Yunqing said irritably. This matter had originally been brought up by Xiaoyao, and now it was perfect, he could use it being Xiaoyao's idea to make that Young Miss lean toward their side.

If that Young Miss confirmed this was Xiaoyao's idea, then this matter would naturally be easy to resolve. She definitely wouldn't interfere, and might even help.

"My idea? What are you talking about?" Xiaoyao said with some confusion. He wasn't pretending, he didn't know about some things and hadn't connected the current situation with usurping the throne.

"Didn't you say we could take the opportunity to usurp the throne and become the royal family of Flowing Stone Kingdom?" Luo Yunqing said.

"Right, yes, that's correct. You're already the uncrowned kings here anyway, it's time to put it on the table... Wait, don't tell me you're doing the usurping right now? Then what is this place? The royal palace?" Only now did Xiaoyao react, they were in the middle of an upheaval!

"Did you not know where this place was?" Luo Yunqing and others were somewhat speechless. After all this time, Xiaoyao still didn't know this was the royal palace.

"How would I know? I came here directly in her carriage..." Xiaoyao shook his head. The person he had encountered on the road at noon was this Young Miss, and then he had gotten into her carriage. They talked all the way, and unknowingly he had come here as a conversation partner.

"If this is the royal palace, then are you the King?" Xiaoyao then looked at the King and asked.

The King nodded, wanting to cry inside. He hadn't expected this matter to develop like this. What kind of situation was this? It seemed he was in great danger this time.

"If you are, then you earlier..." Xiaoyao looked toward Luo Yunqing and others, was silent for a moment, then took out a bottle and threw it to Luo Yuntian.

"What is this?" Luo Yuntian was a bit puzzled. Why would Xiaoyao suddenly throw something to him? Even if he was throwing something, it should be to Luo Yunqing.

"This is an antidote that can neutralize the drug in your bodies," Xiaoyao said.

"Oh..." Although Luo Yuntian said "oh," his hands moved quickly. He immediately poured out a pill and ate it, then took one for Yun Qingyi. But he seemed unwilling to say much to Yun Qingyi.

Then Luo Yuntian threw the bottle to Luo Yunqing, first dealing with everyone's poisoning.

At this time, everyone seemed a bit strange. Why would Xiaoyao first throw the antidote to Luo Yuntian, not to Third Master, not to Luo Yunqing? This seemed a bit odd. But what everyone found even stranger was why Xiaoyao would have this antidote.

"Xiaoyao, why do you have the antidote?" Luo Yunqing seemed to think of something he very much didn't want to think about. He felt that if this was true, he would go crazy.

"Can I not answer this question?" Xiaoyao smiled awkwardly.

Seeing Xiaoyao's reaction, everyone knew what was going on. This matter was indeed maddening.

"As expected, it's you. This poison is yours?" Luo Yunqing's eyebrows twitched.

"This was just an accident, just an accident. I didn't know he was the King, and I certainly didn't know he would use these things to harm you," Xiaoyao said awkwardly. That's right, this poison was what he had given to the King, but he didn't know it was to be used against the Luo family.

Now everyone could only say one thing, Damn!

"Young Miss, what do you plan to do? Help me, or help him?" the King asked that Young Miss at this time.

"If this is his idea, of course I'll help him. Sorry about that," that Young Miss said very directly, not even considering the difficulty of this matter. Perhaps for her, this wasn't difficult at all.

That's right, the one who would be in a difficult position was her father. This favor belonged to her father, not her. If her father had come, he would definitely choose the King's side. But this time it was her coming, and with Xiaoyao involved, her choice naturally wouldn't be difficult.

"How about this, I'll have my father compensate you with other things, and I'll save you once. Originally you were going to die this time, but now I guarantee your safety. That should be fine, right?" that Young Miss said nonchalantly.

This... originally you were supposed to help me deal with them, and then naturally I wouldn't be in any danger. Your reasoning is really too far-fetched!

The King was very critical in his heart, but there was nothing he could do about it. He didn't dare say anything, afraid that if he said something, the other party wouldn't even guarantee his life.

He was just frustrated, why would Xiaoyao know this Young Miss, and how could he coincidentally be a Luo family person?

"How do you know her?" the King finally couldn't help asking.

"This is naturally an opportunity, the kind everyone can have," Luo Yunqing interjected at this time. This was to counter the King's earlier words. He hadn't expected to counter so quickly, and in such a satisfying way.

"This doesn't count as an opportunity, but rather a kind of ill-fated relationship," Xiaoyao sighed.

"What did you say? Do you not want to live?!" that Young Miss was angry. We're an ill-fated relationship?

"Ah, no, this is this humble one's fortune, Your Majesty Queen. You must have misheard just now," Xiaoyao immediately said, showing a very respectful manner.

"That's more like it. Being able to know me is your good fortune. You must treasure it, understand?"

"Understood!" Xiaoyao nodded in reply.

"..."

Everyone was a bit confused about what exactly the relationship between Xiaoyao and this Young Miss was. Sometimes calling her Your Majesty Queen, sometimes calling himself "this humble one", it sounded like a master-servant relationship, but the situation didn't seem like it.

"Xiaoyao, who is this young lady to you? Is she your master?" Third Master asked puzzledly. Xiaoyao had previously been a servant, which he knew. He also knew Xiaoyao had a boss, and he knew this boss was a young girl.

All of this seemed to match this Young Miss very well, making him inevitably suspicious.

"No!"

"Then who is she?"

"I don't know. I don't know her," Xiaoyao shook his head.

"??" Everyone was puzzled. Obviously Xiaoyao and she knew each other, how could he say he didn't know her?

"Cough cough, this Queen allows you to know me this time. Previously I felt you had no self-protection ability and didn't want people to know about our relationship. Now it seems you're not bad, at least there won't be too many problems," that Young Miss said.

So that's how it was. This Young Miss hadn't allowed Xiaoyao to say he knew her, afraid of attracting others' attention. Her identity was indeed a problem. If people knew Xiaoyao knew her, it might bring Xiaoyao a lot of unnecessary trouble.

However, they all didn't know that Xiaoyao knew nothing about her identity either, at least he had been completely unaware before.

"Oh, I know her. Um, Your Majesty Queen, can I say your name?" Xiaoyao asked. He needed to ask about this too, otherwise who knew if this Queen would be unhappy? He couldn't afford to offend this Queen.

Who was the Queen? The only person Xiaoyao would call "Your Majesty Queen" was Wang Yanyu!!

Xiaoyao had long thought Wang Yanyu's identity wasn't simple, but he never imagined she would be from Haoran Sect, and with a high status at that. Even more unexpected was that he would meet her in such circumstances, get involved in such matters, with both sides on opposite ends.

Fortunately, Wang Yanyu on the other side wasn't very insistent. After learning Xiaoyao was on this side, she directly defected.

"Let me say it myself, and tell this kid my true identity while I'm at it. Don't be scared," Wang Yanyu smiled and puffed out her chest. "I'm called Wang Yanyu, and my father is Wang Zhongshan!"

"Wang Zhongshan? That's a legend," Xiaoyao said dumbly. From Wang Yanyu's surname, he had also thought of Wang Zhongshan, but still had some doubt. After all, Wang Zhongshan was too powerful.

Wang Zhongshan wasn't the sect master of Haoran Sect, but he was the person with the highest martial arts in Haoran Sect. It was only because he was single-mindedly devoted to martial arts that he didn't care about the sect master position, otherwise the sect master position would very likely be his.

However, this situation was also very common. The strongest person in most sects generally wasn't the sect master, but someone else.

Speaking of Wang Zhongshan, everyone knew he was a legend. Initially he wasn't a martial artist, but a scholar, with the title of the world's number one talent. At that time, his romantic affairs were almost famous throughout the world, and he had very wide social connections. His relationship with the Wei family was established when he was a scholar, and there were many similar cases.
