Chương 161: Warring Emotions

Prince Yi lunged forward and flew into a series of attacks fueled by rage, while the Emperor defended seemingly with ease with a small smirk still plastered on his face, which further infuriated Prince Yi. Prince Yi felt like he was looking at the bane of his existence and wanted to tear that smirk right off the Emperor's face. 

{...As always I'm a joke to you...A fool who is always beneath you!... If it wasn't for you- !...}

As their swords clashed again, Prince Yi suddenly heard the Emperor ask, "What's your excuse?"

For a moment Prince Yi was confused by the question but then realization quickly set in. He scowled with increased irritation, but then he saw the Emperor's stupid smirk slowly disintegrating into a frown. He narrowed his eyes and scrutinized the Emperor and noticed the concealed rage in his eyes. And he could not help but sneer right into his face.
