Chapter 1100: There Is a Beauty; Upon Seeing Her, One Cannot Forget

Gu Jin could sense that from the moment she stepped into this splendid hall, the air around became impenetrable, as if countless eyes were watching, with many people observing their every move.

She noticed Wanqi Jingyi’s subtle actions, kept her gaze straight ahead, and walked into the room with decorum.

"Yanghong, why have you come so late?"

Gu Jin heard a voice from inside the room asking inquiringly, the voice was authoritative and husky.

"Your Majesty, something has happened to the Yin Family!"

Wanqi Yanghong spoke succinctly and decisively, without any intention of negotiation.

"Oh, this matter, I am aware." The voice of the unfamiliar man was calm, "Is this why you came?"

Wanqi Yanghong did not deny it. He bent slightly, and said with a heavy heart, "The direct lineage of the Yin Family has been murdered, most disciples of the Mingxin Sect are dead or injured, only Yin Zhiqiang’s son Yin Geping survived by mere luck. I ask Your Majesty to leave a retreat for the Yin Family."

Though he spoke these words, inwardly he held no expectation that the Imperial Family would spare the Yin Family.

"Ha! The Yin Family deserves to die!"

An arrogant female voice followed.

Just hearing this abrasive voice, one could tell how conceited and disrespectful the owner was, lacking basic manners.

Gu Jin slightly raised her gaze, sweeping it towards the middle-aged man seated at the main position inside the room, and the woman beside him with a vibrant appearance and eyes filled with malice.

The middle-aged man was Han Yong’an. He glanced at his daughter lightly, "Yixuan!"

Han Yixuan snorted softly, turned her head away, sulking in silence.

Though Han Yong’an’s voice was authoritative, his face showed no sign of blaming his daughter.

Wanqi Yanghong, having been acquainted with this Monarch for many years, naturally understood his temperament and never once lifted his head.

He just silently waited, neither arrogant nor impatient.

Gu Jin secretly scrutinized the people around the conference room.

Guarding every corner of the room were six uniformed attendants, whose cultivation levels were not low, all at the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Standing behind Han Yong’an and Han Yixuan were two tall men in army uniforms, armed and exuding evil qi.

Counting Han Yong’an and Han Yixuan, there were nine people in the conference room.

Han Yong’an rotated the green jade thumb ring on his finger, his sharp eyes slightly squinting, "Yanghong, do you know, for so many years the imperial power has been restricted, I am unable to sleep night after night, every time I think of it, I feel guilty towards my ancestors."

He knew why Wanqi Yanghong came, but didn’t expect his attitude to be so direct.

The Yin Family and the Wanqi Family have always kept to themselves, their relationship neither close nor distant.

Today’s actions by Wanqi Yanghong puzzled him.

Suddenly, Han Yong’an noticed someone staring at him.

His gaze shifted, and he immediately spotted Gu Jin’s presence, her existence was so low-key it didn’t draw attention.

Yet her face could not be ignored, too extraordinarily beautiful.

Such a beauty should not lack presence, should have been noticed the moment she stepped into the room.

In the past, when Wanqi Yanghong brought people, Han Yong’an had never seen this woman.

Just watching her exquisite face, he inexplicably felt familiarity.

Her eyes, pure and clear as glazed glass, returned his gaze with a faint chill, even as she quickly lowered her eyes, Han Yong’an still saw the cold light in her eyes.

If he hadn’t been mistaken earlier, her eyes also seemed to contain a fierce light.

Just this glance etched Gu Jin’s alluring and pure yet seductive beauty deeply into Han Yong’an’s mind.

There is a beauty so enchanting that once seen, it remains unforgettable.
