"Let’s go, let’s take a walk on the street."
Throwing the Storage Ring to the innkeeper, Ling Xiao no longer wished to stay here. Though they hadn’t eaten yet, the place was already in ruins, so continuing to stay wasn’t possible.
Furthermore, he didn’t like being watched by so many people.
The three women followed him to the street, found a delightful snack stall by the roadside, and finally had the time to enjoy a good meal.
To martial artists of their level, eating was purely for enjoyment.
"Fanghua, your strength is just... too ferocious!"
After eating, as they sat and chatted, Lin Ruoxian said with a wry smile.
She had thought Ling Xiao was monstrous enough.
But Yue Fang Hua, who was around Ling Xiao’s age, was even more abnormal. She couldn’t fathom how this woman trained.
Yue Shang sighed.
She originally had some expectations of Ling Xiao, hoping that one day she could serve him alongside Lin Ruoxian.
But unexpectedly, before even leaving the Chen Dynasty, they encountered a monster like Yue Fang Hua, against whom they had no competitiveness.
Beauty, temperament, strength — all top-notch.
How could they compete with that?
Looking at Brother Ling Xiao’s expression, he must already be very fond of this Fang Hua girl.
"With such strength, yet you were cast off to a small place like the Chen Dynasty to fend for yourself, just how terrifying is your Eternal Palace!"
Thinking about finding justice for his father Ling Tieshou at the Eternal Palace, Ling Xiao felt a surge of power and passion within him.
The stronger the opponent, the more it roused his fighting spirit.
"It’s not exactly casting off. Although I am indeed isolated at the Eternal Palace, they have a tradition. The most outstanding talents of the younger generation are sent far away, to live incognito and fend for themselves.
Whoever can return to the Eternal Palace on their own merits will become a core disciple of the Eternal Palace!"
Yue Fang Hua explained, "This is a form of training for me."
"I see, the Eternal Palace is indeed the number one power on the Xuanwu Continent. This way of nurturing is truly unheard of."
Ling Xiao said with some surprise.
"Then with me as your powerful bodyguard, you won’t feel annoyed, will you?"
Yue Fang Hua suddenly asked.
"Why would I feel annoyed? But don’t you worry that following us might affect your training?"
Ling Xiao asked curiously.
Of course, he hoped Yue Fang Hua would follow him, but he didn’t want her to miss out on training opportunities.
Even in reincarnation, he wanted Yue Fang Hua to grow stronger.
"It won’t affect me because I know that as long as I stay by your side, interesting things will happen. I like this feeling."
Yue Fang Hua’s voice suddenly became slightly excited.
You could tell this woman was serious.
Ling Xiao was a daring individual; sometimes he did things that left people dumbfounded.
Following him was indeed thrilling.
As Ling Xiao was about to speak, he suddenly saw a luxurious Xuan Turtle Carriage appear in the street.
The person who alighted from the carriage, who else could it be but Wise King Edward Chen Endless?
Chen Canglan walked in front, followed by Hong Minger.
At this moment, Hong Minger was tied up with rope, appearing very embarrassed.
Ling Xiao frowned, thinking to himself, this Chen Canglan is truly a formidable figure. To enlist him, or more accurately, Fang Hua, he didn’t hesitate to put on such a charade with Hong Minger.
Hong Minger was still injured too.
"Ah, Ling Xiao, my virtuous brother, it was my oversight to have caused you such grievance.
Minger, how dare you not apologize to Ling Xiao, my brother. I sent you to welcome him, yet you acted against them, which greatly displeased me."
The Wise and Virtuous King showed great enthusiasm toward Ling Xiao but was sharply critical toward Hong Minger.
"It was Minger who was blind and didn’t recognize Mount Tai, offending Young Master Ling. Please, forgive me."
Hong Minger lowered her noble head, apologizing to the one she looked down upon.
"What brings Your Highness to find me today?"
Ling Xiao asked lightly.
He naturally wouldn’t be moved by the Wise King’s charade.
After all, he had been through so much, he was no longer a young child.
"My virtuous brother, don’t be angry. Come with me to the Wisdom Sage King Mansion. I’ve prepared wine and gifts; you must not refuse me."
The Wise King laughed heartily.
"Kill her, and I’ll go with you."
Ling Xiao suddenly said.
"Hmm?"
The Wise King furrowed his brows, seemingly not understanding Ling Xiao’s meaning, or perhaps not believing what Ling Xiao said.
"Is it strange? I want you to kill Hong Minger, then I’ll go with you."
Ling Xiao said lightly.
Hearing this, Hong Minger became extremely angry.
She was just cooperating with Wise King Edward Chen Endless in a play, yet apologizing to Ling Xiao already made her very uncomfortable.
Now Ling Xiao wanted her dead?
How could she stand this?
"Heh, it seems the Wise King is not as brave as I thought. Forget it, you return to your mansion, and I’ll return to my Secret Realm Academy, and we shall not associate with each other anymore."
Seeing the Wise King’s hesitance, Ling Xiao gave a cold smile.
"Wait a moment."
The Wise King Edward Chen Endless suddenly struck out a palm towards Hong Minger’s forehead.
The power of this palm was immense, enough to kill Hong Minger instantly.
Hong Minger didn’t resist.
It was clear she trusted Wise King Edward Chen Endless so much; at that moment, she was stunned.
She simply didn’t believe the Wise King she admired and trusted would treat her like this.
Truly intending to kill her?
"Hahaha, just kidding, and His Highness took it seriously."
Just as Chen Canglan’s palm wind was about to touch Hong Minger’s forehead, Ling Xiao intervened to stop the Wise King, chuckling, "Minger girl is a strategist of His Highness. How could Ling Xiao deserve such love, to the point of killing your strategist in my favor.
This grace, Ling Xiao will remember in his heart."
Ling Xiao himself felt disgusted by his words, which weren’t what he wanted to say at all.
If the Wise King had truly meant to kill Hong Minger, he wouldn’t have been able to stop him.
Because the Wise King was just putting on a show, when Ling Xiao intervened, the Wise King withdrew his power.
This Wise King is truly cunning.
However, no matter how cunning the wolf, he was still tricked by Ling Xiao.
Even though the Wise King’s palm didn’t fall, a permanent crack was left in Hong Minger’s heart.
Ling Xiao believed this crack might not affect their relationship now.
But in time, it may.
"What are you saying, virtuous brother? Since we call each other brothers, it’s natural for me to wholeheartedly support you. Can we go to my mansion now?"
The Wise King had cursed Ling Xiao in his mind hundreds of times, but he didn’t show it, behaving gracefully.
This person is really tougher to deal with than the Thirteenth Prince.
