Reincarnated as a Mosquito, I Sucked the Reborn Empress to Tears - Chapter 416: The 7 Matriarchs Gather? The Game Has Just Begun

“Haha, well said, Lady Liu!”

“A wild, ill-mannered brat like her is just asking for a lesson!”

“If someone like her is allowed to rise, where will that leave the reputation of our families?”

As their voices faded, several noblewomen in lavish attire descended from the sky.

Without exception, each was accompanied by at least one bodyguard at the Peak of King Realm, or even one with the strength of the Emperor Realm!

Their arrival instantly made the already tense atmosphere even more suffocating.

“Is that… the lady of the Chen Family?”

“And the Zhao Family! The Sun Family too!”

“My heavens… Are… are they trying to turn the Capital City upside down?”

Gasps of shock rippled through the surrounding crowd.

The Ten Great Clans!

In addition to the Liu Family, the matriarchs of six more clans had arrived!

They were from the Chen, Zhao, Sun, Qian, Wu, and Zhou Families.

These seven families represented half of the top Noble Families in the Great Xia!

They had all been summoned by Lady Liu with a single phone call before she arrived.

In truth, these families had been watching from the sidelines all along.

How could the great clans not know that Gu Yuexi had returned at such a critical moment and caused such a commotion?

The only reason they were revealing themselves now was because they had seen the Liu Family’s firm stance.

Since the Liu Family was leading the charge, they were more than happy to ride the wave and kick her while she was down.

After all, Gu Yuexi’s so-called “Divine Son” spot had taken a slice of everyone’s cake.

It was an unspoken agreement.

“Oh, Sister Liu, it seems we’ve arrived at just the right time,”

a still-charming woman in a cheongsam said as she approached. She was the matriarch of the Chen Family.

She didn’t even glance at Gu Yuexi, who was trapped in the Power, instead turning to Elder Wang with a saccharine smile.

“Elder Wang, at your advanced age, why are you still so fond of meddling in other people’s business?”

“We sisters just came to watch the show and help Sister Liu seek justice.”

“A girl from a small town with no background dares to shit and piss on the heads of the Ten Great Clans, all because she has a smidgen of talent? If word of this gets out, what will become of the rules in Great Xia?”

“Exactly.”

Another woman, the lady of the Zhao Family, stepped forward and swept her disdainful gaze across the crowd.

“Elder Wang, I suggest you take a rest.”

“This matter, I believe, is beyond your control.”

“This is a ’private matter’ for our Ten Great Clans to handle. If the Department of Education insists on interfering, I’m afraid… that wouldn’t be good, would it?”

“Our families may not always speak up, but if someone truly thinks we’re easy to bully, then we’ll have to have a little chat.”

A threat!

A naked threat!

The six ladies, plus Lady Liu, stood together. Though they weren’t the heads of the seven families, their presence here represented the will of these seven top-tier Noble Families!

What kind of power was this?

It was no exaggeration to say this was a force capable of making the economy, the education system, and even the Military Department of Great Xia tremble!

Watching this unfold, Elder Wang, whose back had been ramrod straight, now seemed to stoop a little.

’It’s over.’

’It’s completely over.’

If it were just the Liu Family, he might have been able to leverage his old face and the name of the Department of Education to force them to back down and protect her.

But now… seven of the Great Clans were gathered!

This was an insurmountable mountain!

Even if he wanted to intervene, the Emperor Realm bodyguards the ladies brought would absolutely stop him.

How could he alone possibly defeat seven or eight powerhouses of the same level?

At this moment, Elder Wang’s heart was filled with despair and sorrow.

He looked at the figure still struggling desperately within the Power, his eyes filled with pity and guilt.

’Is this the cruelty of this world?’

Before these truly powerful and privileged elites, even supreme talent was as fragile as a piece of paper.

Without a background, without a backer, one is ultimately just a flash in the pan.

“Sigh…”

Elder Wang let out a long sigh and slowly closed his eyes, his aura receding like the tide.

He fell silent.

He had backed down.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to save her, but… he was truly powerless.

…

This scene wasn’t just unfolding live; it was being broadcast across the entire Great Xia internet via the livestreams of countless students’ phones.

By now, the internet had already exploded.

As they watched Gu Yuexi and the Divine Mosquito struggle under the Power of an Emperor Realm Powerhouse, as they saw the ladies of the seven great clans bullying the weak with their power, as they witnessed the official representative, Elder Wang, retreat in helplessness…

an emotion called “rage” began to spread through the hearts of countless ordinary people.

“This is too much! This is absolutely too much!”

“So this is the so-called Ten Great Clans? This is the upper echelon of Great Xia? It’s disgusting!”

“What did Gu Yuexi do wrong? She just fought back against Liu Yueyao, who humiliated her! Why should she be crippled for that?!”

“She just won back our honor in the White Eagle Empire! She’s a hero! How can you treat a hero like this?!”

“Even if you take the Divine Son spot from her, you can’t just kill her!”

“Save her! Can someone please save her!”

The tide of public opinion turned dramatically in an instant.

Previously, some people had thought Gu Yuexi was too arrogant and shouldn’t have offended the powerful.

But now, faced with this scene of outright bullying, the conscience of the majority was awakened.

Sympathizing with the underdog is human nature, especially when the “underdog” is a hero who brought glory to the nation.

At this moment, at least 80% of netizens across Great Xia were following the incident and voicing their support for Gu Yuexi.

The incident dominated the top ten trending topics!

#SevenGreatClansBesiegeGuYuexi#

#WhoWillSaveOurGoddessGu#

#SilenceOfTheDepartmentOfEducation#

…

Admittedly, this was an immense force of public opinion.

Under normal circumstances, this force might make the officials wary and cause the families to exercise some restraint.

But…

at the school gate, at this moment of life and death,

was this force of any use?

The answer was… no.

Completely useless!

No matter how loudly the keyboards clacked online, they couldn’t shatter the Power of an Emperor Realm Powerhouse.

Even if hundreds of millions of people were cursing them, to lofty elites like Lady Liu, it was nothing more than the buzzing of flies.

They simply didn’t care!

They might even find it laughable.

’A bunch of ants from the bottom rungs of society think they’re qualified to tell us what to do?’

Once the girl was crippled and the storm blew over, they could just do some PR with a few flimsy excuses, or simply block the news. In a few days, these people would forget everything, just like goldfish.

This was the sad reality.

In the face of absolute power and authority, so-called public opinion was nothing but a joke.

…

Watching as Gu Yuexi and the Divine Mosquito “struggled desperately” inside the Power,

the atmosphere in Jing University’s Teaching Affairs Square had frozen solid.

The students present clenched their fists, their eyes filled with righteous indignation. Some were so anxious they had tears streaming down their faces.

But there was nothing they could do.

The pressure emanating from the Emperor Realm Powerhouses was like an invisible wall, keeping them at bay. They couldn’t even get close.

Because the dual Powers distorted their vision, those outside couldn’t see the specific situation within. They could only see the red Power being gradually eaten away.

One meter, and then, only half a meter…

However, at this very moment,

inside the Fire Domain that had shrunk to a mere half-meter,

Chu Sheng and Gu Yuexi were, in fact, not nearly as panicked as the outside world imagined.

On the contrary, the human and the mosquito were both incredibly calm.

Chu Sheng didn’t even bother maintaining his transformed state. With a flash of light, he reverted to a black mosquito no bigger than a fingernail.

“BZZZ (Quite the lineup. Seven Emperor Realms have shown up.)”

“BZZZ (So, Little Empress, what’s the plan? How do we play this next?)”

The reason Chu Sheng was so calm was, naturally, because he still had a card up his sleeve. They couldn’t win a fight against seven Emperor Realms, but they could still escape.

So, he wasn’t worried at all.

And what about Gu Yuexi?

Was she worried?

Just then,

the corner of Gu Yuexi’s perpetually expressionless mouth suddenly curved upward, forming an exceptionally captivating arc.

It was a look of pride that was… heartfelt, originating from the depths of her very soul.

“Only seven families showed up? And they’re all women.”

“Still, this is enough.”

“Don’t be scared, you dead mosquito. The game… is only just beginning!”
