The Moon Goddess also turned her gaze to Donghuang Taiyi.
What kind of face is underneath this mask?
“My Lord Prime Minister, I’m sorry that I can’t obey your order in this matter.” Donghuang Taiyi refused bluntly.
Su Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly, “Since you call me Prime Minister, but you disobey my orders, it seems that you don’t take me seriously at all, right?”
He questioned, his voice suddenly turning cold.
“Since the Yin-Yang family has surrendered to the Qin State, they must serve the Qin State and obey my orders. I have not asked you to risk your life, but just take off a mask. Can’t you do such a simple thing?”
“I don’t know where you get the courage from. Are you higher in rank than me? Are you stronger than me? Or is it that I am too kind to you, causing you to lose track of the differences between east, west, north, and south, and between superiors and inferiors?”
Su Xuan looked at Donghuang Taiyi expressionlessly, waiting for him to make a choice.
If he takes off the mask voluntarily, he can still survive. If he is unwilling, he will kill him directly and take full control of the Yin-Yang Family. After his death, Su Xuan will also know the true face under the mask.
The confrontation between the two did not last for a few seconds and ended with Donghuang Taiyi’s surrender.
“Please forgive me, Lord Prime Minister. I spoke without thinking.” He placed his hand on the mask and pleaded, “I only have one request. After seeing my true appearance, please do not tell others.”
Su Xuan looked at him calmly. If he had asked for something before, he might have agreed. But asking for something now? Haha!
As the mask was slowly removed, a familiar face appeared in Su Xuan’s sight.
“Qu Yuan!” The Moon Goddess looked at Donghuang Taiyi with doubt after he took off his mask. He had a head full of black hair and looked to be no more than thirty years old.
“Your Excellency Donghuang, have you mastered the secret art of immortality?” she asked immediately.
Su Xuan also looked surprised.
Because even if one’s cultivation reaches the highest level of heaven and man and one’s lifespan increases, one will still inevitably age.
Could it be that Donghuang Taiyi also mastered the secret method of cultivating immortals?
Donghuang Taiyi sighed slightly, “This matter is too shocking. Once it is leaked, it will definitely attract countless people to covet it. Please do not spread it to others, Prime Minister.”
“When the Qin army conquered Yingdu, the capital of Chu, I drowned myself in the Miluo River and died for my country, but I never expected to encounter such an unexpected adventure.”
“I got a raw crystal, and it has been flourishing ever since.”
