“I refrained from attacking you simply because you hold the title of prince, but do not test my patience, or I will have no qualms about confronting you directly,” Gu Chaoyan stated sternly, her eyes narrowed in displeasure. “I hail from Jinwei Land and am on a mission to Baizhou Land. I did not come here to endure humiliation at your hands. Your constant belittlement of Jinwei Land and my presence as an insult to Baizhou Land is unwarranted.”

The Fourth Prince remained silent, clearly taken aback by her resolve.

“For anyone else, I would have already taken action more forceful than merely splashing tea on them,” Gu Chaoyan continued, her tone unwavering. “If you persist in causing trouble, I will not hesitate to take appropriate action.”

The Fourth Prince retorted, “We are causing trouble? You are but a woman.” Before he could complete his sentence, Gu Chaoyan swiftly slapped him, sending him crashing to the ground.

The Fourth Prince’s face flushed with embarrassment, and despite his own cultivation abilities, he found himself incapacitated by a single blow.

After his fall, there was a noticeable delay in anyone coming to his aid. His companions were too occupied nursing their own wounds.

“I had no intention of clashing with a prince like you, but you have pushed the limits of my tolerance,” Gu Chaoyan declared, her tone uncompromising. “Do not blame me for responding in kind. I am the envoy from Jinwei Land, and I stand my ground here. If anyone disagrees, step forward.”

A hushed silence fell over the onlookers as they observed the Fourth Prince’s current sorry state. His martial prowess, previously impressive, was now questioned, and they thought better of challenging Gu Chaoyan.

“You stand at the seventh level of the Martial Warrior Realm, weaker even than my subordinates. What is your purpose here?” Gu Chaoyan sneered with a disdainful expression.

“What?!” The Fourth Prince exclaimed, his disbelief evident.

They were even more formidable than those under her command? In other words, the women behind her?

How could that be possible?

At that moment, the nanny released her formidable aura, an oppressive might that could rival

that of a Martial King, enough to give even the Fourth Prince a severe headache.

They had actually…

Surpassed him in cultivation.

And they were women?

Why?

Traditionally, women had been considered of lesser significance. What gave them the right to excel in this domain?

Previously, the Fourth Prince had been unable to fathom his father’s actions. He had thought that his father had allowed a woman from Jinwei Land to have her way out of magnanimity. Now, even if he couldn’t fully comprehend, he grasped the situation.

So his father was constrained by them?

On one hand, it was due to Jinwei Land.

On the other hand, it was because of their formidable cultivation.

How could this be?

The Fourth Prince remained in shock and was unable to grasp the situation.

At this juncture, the King of Baizhou Land finally stepped forward to mediate. “Lady Xu, my sons are still young and imprudent. I request that you do not hold their behavior against them. After the palace banquet, I will ensure that they offer you a personal apology.”

The King of Baizhou Land then cast a disapproving glance at the Fourth Prince and admonished, “Nonsense!”

“I understand my mistake,” the Fourth Prince conceded, ceasing his resistance and speaking obediently. He continued to dwell in his bewildered thoughts.

The King of Baizhou Land extended a warm welcome to their guests.

This year’s palace banquet in Baizhou Land was unlike any seen before. It became a topic of discussion, rife with astonishment.

The Fourth Prince’s countenance remained grim as he reluctantly took his seat once more.

However, his understanding remained incomplete.

The envoy from Jinwei Land’s expression soured once more.

He had initially believed that….
