Xia Feng’s simple command for them to descend was the most powerful summons, and despite being peak Saint Venerable powerhouses, the three men couldn’t even muster the courage to speak in his presence.
Although Leng Jun and Gongyang Jie had fought fiercely earlier, as if they were incredibly powerful, they wouldn't have lasted even a single move against Xia Feng.
Of course, this was not their fault; the gap in strength was simply insurmountable.
They wished they could spar with a Saint Emperor, but the disparity in power made it impossible.
As Leng Jun was about to descend, he looked at Murong Tianhua, who was also in the sky, and said, "Your Majesty, please descend as well. The little princess is dining with the Saint Emperor."
Despite being an Emperor, Murong Tianhua’s status was the lowest among these individuals.
After all, an emperor without power and authority was merely an object of faith for the people, holding no real standing.
If he had any authority, Gongyang Jie and Xuanyuan Hao would not have dared to confront him here today.
They treated Murong Tianhua as if he were nobody.
"Alright," Murong Tianhua nodded quickly.
It was an honor for him to even meet the Saint Emperor.
The four of them flew towards the restaurant in unison. After they left, the sky returned to tranquility.
Everyone turned their gaze towards the restaurant, knowing that a Saint Emperor was present there.
The restaurant owner trembled slightly. He had heard from a server that Xia Feng had been refused service earlier because there were no private rooms.
It was only when Xia Feng was preparing to leave that Murong Xue invited him to dine together.
They were unsure if Xia Feng would pursue the matter, but what had happened could not be undone. Regret was useless; they could only live in endless regret and fear.
At the same time, the owner was also overjoyed. This was a peak Saint Emperor!
This meant his restaurant would be the only one in the entire Saint Realm to have hosted a Saint Emperor for a meal.
He believed Xia Feng might have dined at other restaurants, but if others couldn't recognize him, that was another matter.
His restaurant, however, was different. Everyone in the Imperial City knew and had seen that the Saint Emperor had dined here.
Despite his fear, his inner excitement was undeniable.
"Greetings, Saint Emperor."
After descending, the four men bowed to Xia Feng.
Xia Feng glanced at the four of them, then at Murong Xue, leaving the decision to her. He specifically said, "You decide how to deal with these two families. While they didn't intend to kill you, they planned to confine you. Whether you wish to kill them or cripple them is entirely up to you."
As soon as Xia Feng spoke, Gongyang Jie and Murong Hao's expressions changed, but they dared not utter a word.
If a Saint Emperor powerhouse truly wished to execute them, they would be helpless and have nowhere to escape.
At the same time, they looked at Murong Xue with pleading eyes.
Better to live a dog's life than die a noble death; they only wished to live, and all other matters had suddenly become unimportant.
Murong Xue shook her head without hesitation. "Regardless of what they intended to do to me, they are still the most important families and individuals in the Imperial City. I will not pursue this matter further."
Murong Xue was not foolish; dead people were certainly less useful than living ones.
With Xia Feng as her backing, Gongyang Jie and Xuanyuan Hao would absolutely not dare to harbor ill intentions towards her in the future.
By saving their lives now, they would only be grateful and respect her more.
Xia Feng seemed to see through Murong Xue's thoughts and smiled, saying,
"You make a wise choice, but..."
