The Heavenly Vanity System

Reasons for Every Soldier

The sun had not even appeared when about twenty thousand soldiers had gathered, they were called so suddenly even for the soldier who was not in his service time.

“What's the reason we're called here?"

“Don't ask me, I'm still sleepy."

“Be quiet, the king's own counsel who commissioned us to gather here. There must be something important to say, so just obey and don't complain much or the first prince will execute you."

The soldiers were still confused until Yu Jie, Xiang He as well as Mu Yang came, the three of them were told the king's adviser if what was requested had been done.

“They are all soldiers who are in the capital, for the remaining soldiers cannot come because they are assigned to another city far from here." The king's adviser delivered his report.

Yu Jie simply nodded before telling the king's adviser to step aside, with a step full of his self-worth standing before the twenty thousand soldiers.

Each soldier stared at Yu Jie full of question marks, they did not know who Yu Jie was and how Xiang He who was under house arrest was now beside him.

“Where is the first prince? Why did the king's Counsel even seem obedient to him?"

Every soldier had a suspicion because they felt something was wrong, they initially thought the first prince was the reason for their gathering but it didn't seem like it.

“You're confused? Ask what makes you confused, I might be able to answer it," Yu Jie said.

Yu Jie's voice sounded slow but was able to be heard by every soldier, not least the one in the rear row because Yu Jie put a little Qi into his voice.

“Who are you, why are you leading the meeting and not the first prince?" One of the soldiers asked.

Yu Jie immediately smiled slightly before saying, “Good question, now let me clarify everything."

The soldiers began to pay more attention to what Yu Jie wanted to convey, not least the royal higher-ups and some generals who were also curious.

“I'm Yu Jie, the person you've been looking for all this time," Yu Jie said, her hair fluttering in the wind making her face look clearly similar to the images scattered in every corner of the city.

The soldiers started to pull out their weapons, this young man turned out to be the one they were looking for and the same person was the mastermind of the chaos of the capital some time ago.

“General, what should we do?!!" asked in unison every soldier to several generals including Mu Yang.

The soldiers might still have a fight wish but not with the generals, they saw for themselves how terrifying Yu Jie was so that knowing or not Yu Jie was the most wanted fugitive did not change anything for them.

“Let down your weapons, Young Master Jie is a figure that the Princess asks for her own help. Daring to resist let alone attack him was tantamount to betraying the king!!!" exclaimed Mu Yang, can no longer just be silent.

The soldiers instantly stared at each other in silence, if betrayal was the case then they had already done so by serving the first prince.

The question was that they should listen to who, Xiang He with his help or the first prince with the Blood Sword sect supporting him.

“If we let go is not it the same as we oppose the first prince?"

“True, after all, wasn't this young man who once threatened the first prince by razing the city walls?"

Every conversation between the soldiers was heard directly by Yu Jie, this made Yu Jie even more excited so as not to waste any longer.

Yu Jie asked Mu Yang to take something and was immediately agreed, before long Mu Yang returned by dragging the dead body of the first prince who was lifeless.

Yu Jie took the body from Mu Yang before throwing it in front of every soldier, this made them swallow because it meant that the takeover of the king position by the first prince was no longer there.

“No more first prince, from now onwards it will be Xiang He who will lead this kingdom." Yu Jie loudly.

The higher-ups of the kingdom as well as every general immediately bowed in respect, not feeling any objection as they never really supported the first prince.

It added Yu Jie who they had seen for themselves how cruel, even though the first prince was still alive though would still be obedient to Xiang He if Yu Jie asked.

The soldiers mostly just follow what the higher-ups of the kingdom as well as every general decides, he said, so that more than half of the soldiers there had bowed in salute to Xiang He who would become the leader of the next kingdom.

“What about you guys?" yu Jie asked the thousands of remaining soldiers who had yet to make up their minds.

One of them advanced gallantly, his position among the soldiers was likely high visible from his armor that was no less good than the generals.

“Honor me, Princess," said the newly advanced warrior, bowing to Xiang He but not a single glance let alone salute Yu Jie.

“Mr Princess, do you also secretly have similar ambitions as the first prince?" ask the man.

“You mean?" Xiang He to the man.

“Sorry if I'm presumptuous, but if you suddenly come up with the idea of wanting to be the leader of the kingdom, then what difference do you have with the first prince who has now lost his life in the hands of you, his sister." The man with a sinister smile on his face.

Xiang He seemed to open his mouth but no words came out from there, clearly the man managed to corner Xiang He so badly.

“Haha, may also." Yu Jie couldn't help but laugh.

The man seemed to be in disbelief, so he directly pointed his sword towards Yu Jie's neck as he said, “What's your laugh?"

Tankkk!!!

Yu Jie dismissed the sword making it flung, not long after which raising the height of his legs as a follow-up attack.

Buahghhh!!!

Yu Jie's kick landed smoothly right on the man's stomach, making him fall down before curling up while grimacing in pain.

“You must be part of the Jang family, right?" yu Jie asked with clenched hands ready to be smashed.

“Be— is right," replied the man as he stammered.

“Haha, fuck. How funny it is to hear the ramblings of ambition when your own family cannot resist its ambition to get rid of the king's family" Yu Jie said.

The man looked surprised, the new ambition touched on was a family secret that people rarely know.

“Jang Kao, Young Master your family is in jail now. The fact that your family paid the Red Sky faction to slaughter the king's family has also been revealed, now tell me what the kingdom should do," Yu Jie asked with a grin.

The man was only silent, his arrogant behavior as if there had never been a cause for how pitiful his expression was now.

“The death sentence, nothing else," Yu Jie said.

After her remark, Yu Jie directly flowed the Qi on her hand before plugging it right in the heart of the man made her lose her life.

“You heard it for yourself, dinner just received an attack and this is why I asked you here, which is to execute every one of those involved in this attack. It is easy for the noble people of Jang to be currently among you," Yu Jie said to every soldier before him.

The attacks of the Red Sky faction were too smooth to be said to be coincidental, let alone the fact that the attacks only occurred inside the palace while not in other areas.

Because of this Yu Jie guessed that there was the other party's help that definitely still had something to do with this all, namely the noble people of Jang among the royal soldiers.

“My guess is correct," Yu Jie murmured, after seeing the reaction change was quite significant from a group of soldiers.

Most of the soldiers who had not previously bowed to Xiang He immediately put on a worried face, especially after seeing one of them being finished off by Yu Jie without the slightest hesitation.

“Capture him, he is a member of the Jang family!!!"

“Hey, the one over there wants to run. Chase them!!!"

“Here too, he's strong enough so let's help me finish him!!!"

Chaos instantly ensued between the soldiers who had now attacked each other, split into two halves between the soldiers of the Jang noble family against the pure warriors of the kingdom inflicting battle.

“Removing immediately what will be a threat, that's what I just did," Yu Jie said looking at the casual battle that occurred.

“As expected of Young Master Jie, you are always wise at all times." Mu Yang saluted his admiration sign.

In contrast to Mu Yang, Xiang He simply kept silent without a word. Long enough the woman thought until she finally said, “Young Master Jie, thank you."

Xiang He did not know what else to say to Yu Jie who had helped him this much, even what was happening now was also Xiang He knew as the umpteenth aid from Yu Jie.

Yu Jie simply nodded softly not bothering, after all these things felt good for her so as not to feel burdened by it.

“Gathering people, gathering also would-be victims who would be annoyed at my arrogance," Yu Jie muttered, trying to hold back the smile from appearing on his face.
