Chapter 5179: 5.0931 Defeat Me, or Die?

"Impudent!" Cai Xiu rebuked with a cold face. "What are you? Do you think you can see the Crown Princess whenever you please?"

Qiao Mu waved her hand slightly, expressionlessly dismissing the two maids.

The two women, separated by a few empty tables, exchanged a cold gaze. Qiao Mu clearly detected a hint of disdain in the Saintess of Zhaoguang's eyes.

Heh, what audacity! Qiao Mu secretly mused: The last person who dared to look at her like that, I wonder if their bones are cold by now. She never expected anyone today to dare show such an expression in public. Indeed, ignorance breeds fear.

"The Saintess heard that someone from Tianyun appeared at the Qiao residence and specifically rushed here to eliminate evil. Unexpectedly, she was truly shocked by what she witnessed with her own eyes," the green-clad woman loudly declared to the crowd.

At this moment, the Saintess of Zhaoguang also spoke calmly, "The world says that the Crown Princess and Tianyun are irreconcilable enemies."

"Yet, who would have thought that on the day of the Crown Princess's nephew's hundred-day banquet, Tianyun would send the Hall Master of Star Picking Hall to present such a grand gift?"

"Right and wrong, good and evil, all lie in the heart! Everyone, you have all witnessed it with your own eyes! It's clear whether the Crown Princess is black or white."

Everyone was struck dumb. What the hell does this Saintess of Zhaoguang mean? Is she accusing the Crown Princess of colluding with Tianyun? She's truly audacious!

Hadn't she seen that all the ladies from the aristocratic families present were now smiling warmly at the little Crown Princess and showing respectful expressions? After several small banquets, who didn't know the Crown Princess's temperament? If you didn't provoke her, her cool demeanor wouldn't even consider having a problem with you. But if you insisted on provoking her...

... blood would likely spill on the spot!

This banquet, which had started so well, seemed destined for another unforeseen turn. Everyone collectively retreated several steps, unable to help but look at the Saintess of Zhaoguang and her entourage with expressions of looking at fools.

These people must have had too many good days and now want to spend some time in prison? Or perhaps, their purpose here is to provoke the Crown Princess? What for? Do they want to make a name for their entire organization by provoking the little Crown Princess?

How incredibly foolish is this small, broken organization to rush to their deaths in front of the stoic Crown Princess. Based on the understanding that those present had of the Crown Princess, it was likely that this matter would not end well.

Meanwhile, the Saintess of Zhaoguang finished her passionate speech, only to find that out of hundreds of people present, not a single one was paying attention to her. Everyone had uniformly retreated a distance, very kindly leaving an open space in the middle for the Zhaoguang organization to perform and continue their foolishness. Those present, as onlookers, simply watched silently. Once they received the little Crown Princess's command, they could flee and escape at any time, avoiding this spectacle that could turn deadly.

Not every family's excitement was something one could casually watch. If you watched the Qiao residence's excitement now, next year, the grass on your grave might be taller than a person...

Qiao Mu held her sword, her delicate hand gently stroking it. Instantly, a layer of crackling current covered the blade. She pointed the long sword at Zhaoguang across from her, speaking coldly, word by word, "Today, if you cannot defeat me, you will die right here."

Everyone felt a chill rise in their hearts, retreating several more steps in stunned silence.

"Defeat me, or die. You choose!" Qiao Mu said coldly, and the Startling Thunder Sword seemed to sense her resolve, emitting a sharp crackle.
