In order to avoid the eyes and ears of the Crown Prince, Wang Gan circled around the Cloud Prince's palace several times. He had wrapped himself in a robe and entered the palace through the back door. Like this, he came to the Cloud Prince to specifically explain why he was at the Crown Prince's banquet, and also to report Zhu Yan's evil deeds. The Tenth Prince might not want to hear about Zhu Yan, but Wang Gan had his own spin to add to the story.
He did not directly explain why he went to the Crown Prince's palace and attended his banquet. Instead, he began by borrowing the status of the Tenth Prince in the army, and reporting to him on military affairs. He recommended to the Tenth Prince a pair of brave fathers and sons who had done a lot of meritorious military service. From this, he went back and forth on the prowess of such a father and son pair, and then sadly sighed to himself about how his own household had experienced such misfortunes and raised useless children. He then slowly inched into trouble a few months ago, where his useless evil son provoked Lin Ming, and then accidentally dropped the name Zhu Yan …
How could the Cloud Prince not know the meaning behind Wang Gan's story? When he heard Wang Gan mention Zhu Yan repeatedly, the Tenth Prince's expression fell. He did not know that Lin Ming and Wang Gan's son had such a conflict on the day of the entrance examination, and that the instigator of this accident was Zhu Yan.
"Major Wang, you've worked hard today. Please come back to rest as soon as possible. "Said Cloud Prince with a blank expression.
"Yes, then I'll forgive myself. “Wang Gan's goal has been reached. Although the position he held within the Sky Fortune City government was neither too big nor too small, it was actually a very sensitive and important mid-level command role. Wang Gan had to always be careful to guard his own head, and he had done very well.

Sky Fortune City, Zhu Family Branch –
Zhu Yan was wearing white pants. Her hair was disheveled as she lay on the bed. He had a sad look as he peered out the window. His eyes passed through the complex-lined window as he stared at the Crown Prince's palace which was illuminated by a brilliant light. He knew that today the Crown Prince was having a big party in his palace, and the star of the party was Lin Ming.
Thinking Lin Ming, Zhu Yan clenched the sheets. The delicate and expensive sheets were torn apart in Zhu Yan's grasp.
In that fight a few days ago, he had injured himself! 'Red Lotus Purgatory' was a martial skill that he had yet to fully utilize. In doing so, he had drawn the true essence in his body and damaged his meridians. Zhu Yan's cultivation was insufficient, and he barely used it. Other than the huge load on his body, he had been pushed back by Lin Ming's spear. The result was an even more severe injury to Zhu Yan!
Meat wounds were easily healed with good medicines and pills, but the damage to the meridians was extremely difficult to recover. This kind of wound would be the main barrier when he broke through to the Pulse Condensation Period!
"Damn!"
The peng! The velvet pillow under Zhu Yan suddenly exploded. Countless white snow feathers fluttered around the room like snowflakes in winter.
"Aah!" Lan Yunyue jumped in fear as she covered her mouth. Zhu Yan was being moody, and this made him feel not the slightest bit of security. One moment he was silent, and the next moment he would be filled with rage like a raging beast.
Lan Yunyue's shout caused Zhu Yan to suddenly see Lan Yunyue.
As soon as Zhu Yan's eyes were fixed on her, Lan Yunyue's breath was choked in her chest. The gaze Zhu Yan gave made him feel as if he was drowning in an ice bath. He thought that Zhu Yan might even kill him now.
There was a pause before Zhu Yan suddenly asked, "Are you sorry?"
"What ... what regrets?" Lan Yunyue was panicking. He took a deep breath, and tried to sound as calm as possible.
"You know what I'm talking about . ”
Lin Ming's current achievements were already several times more dazzling than Zhu Yan's. Without a doubt, his achievements in the future would far surpass Zhu Yan. Zhu Yan believed that with Lan Yunyue's pragmatic heart, he would definitely be very sorry.
“Crown Prince hosts the grandest banquet. He's there . If you are sorry then you can go there and look for it. Such banquets, there were all sorts of influential celebrities and famous figures. The aristocratic young ladies there wore magnificent and expensive clothes, and their manners and composure were elegant. Isn't that what you always wanted? You can go now. ”
Zhu Yan's calm voice carried an ice coldness with him. It caused Lan Yunyue to feel fear and worry. He knew that today, Zhu Yan was walking on the edge of a cliff. If he really said he was 'sorry', he had no idea what he would do in his anger.
Lan Yunyue was tingling. He clenched his lips and said, “I no longer have the qualifications to regret anything anymore. ”
Zhu Yan wickedly smiled, and revealed the corner of his teeth. “You are very honest. At least you are not hypocritical and say you have no regrets. Good you really don't have the qualifications to regret. Therefore, take off your clothes! "
"What !?" Lan Yunyue subconsciously grabbed her own collar in surprise. "Zhu Yan, we're not married. ”
"Wedding? Lan Yunyue, you do not understand your position and identity. Do you think that you are a Princess? The reason I haven't made any progress on you is because I respect you. But you, you should at least have a qualification that I deserve respect for! Have you ever had me for a moment in your heart? Now prove it to me, undress you! "
"Zhu Yan, you .." Lan Yunyue felt an impending sense of worry and involuntarily leaned against the door. Before this, Zhu Yan's disposition was already dark, with a sense of high-risk danger. But the reality was that Zhu Yan had never made a move on Lan Yunyue. In fact, most of the time he was the image of an honorable man.
But today Lan Yunyue had no doubt that Zhu Yan would mem it. Due to his failure and frustration from his defeat in the match, as well as his future setbacks, he had already become akin to an angry and furious beast.
Zhu Yan looked at Lan Yunyue's small actions and her voice decreased angrily, “Although I am injured, I am more than enough to deal with you. I'd advise you not to move towards the entrance. If you take another step towards the door, I don't mind moving personally. ”
"Zhu ... Zhu Yan ..." Lan Yunyue bit her lip. Tears started to form in the corner of her eyes. He grabbed the collar of his clothes, and his knuckles and was already bleached due to the excessive grip.
His voice trembled as he said, "You lost to Lin Ming in the match, and you think that by harassing a woman that Lin Ming liked, you will be able to retaliate and vent your anger against him! Is this your martial art !? Zhu Yan, why should you use this method to amuse yourself psychologically? Does it make you feel better? "
He hates . He hated everything about Lin Ming. He desperately needed to find somewhere, anywhere, where he could be a little better than Lin Ming. He would take full ownership of the woman Lin Ming used to love, to rid his heart of his demons!
But, his thoughts had been expressed by Lan Yunyue. To seek out a sense of superiority in a woman's body; this made Zhu Yan feel extremely pitiful!
Therefore, he became angry because of his embarrassment!
He twisted his true essence, and would pounce on it. But at this moment, a voice sounded behind the door. The old servant's voice echoed from outside, “Young Master, the Tenth Prince has come. ”
He twisted his true essence, and would pounce on it. But at this moment, a voice sounded behind the door. The old servant's voice echoed from outside, “Young Master, the Tenth Prince has come. ”
"mm?" Zhu Yan frowned. The true essence that he began to circulate slowly became quiet.
Lan Yunyue tensed to her limit. His body climbed into the wall, and he slowly slid onto the floor. His back was filled with restless sweat. In this past month, the name of the Tenth Prince became his nightmare. At that moment, with just a few words, he nearly caused Zhu Yan to abandon their engagement and divorce her. But now, hearing the arrival of the Tenth Prince, it actually made him feel extremely relieved.
Zhu Yan got up and began to dress himself secretly. To see the Tenth Prince, he would naturally dress up neatly and greet him in the hall. Only someone whose wound was too heavy or seriously ill would meet in their room.
However, as Zhu Yan wore clothes, there was the sound of irregular footsteps outside.
The door opened, and the Tenth Prince stood at the entrance. He had a few followers with him, and his face was calm, showing neither joy nor anger.
“Greetings, Your Grace. "Zhu Yan bowed. Lan Yunyue also stood up and bowed, before she moved back to the corner of the room.
According to custom, when an official bowed to the prince, the prince would throw the ceremony out by showing words. However, the Tenth Prince did not say anything, and Zhu Yan had bowed.
"You know Wang Yigao?" The Tenth Prince suddenly asked. This question made Lan Yunyue feel completely unreasonable.
Zhu Yan immediately understood that the Tenth Prince was referring to a problem that occurred in early autumn. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for the Tenth Prince to mention an insignificant person like Wang Yigao so suddenly. As Lin Ming became famous, Wang Yigao was held accountable and confessed to his father, who then passed on to the ears of the Tenth Prince.
"Yes nih . "Zhu Yan admitted. He knew that the reason Lin Ming favored the Crown Prince might be because of this matter. He did not mention it on his own initiative, but it was now known to the Tenth Prince.
"Very good . Now I know why it is so easy for my third brother to win over Lin Ming. You may not know, but the person who had saved Lin Ming from Wang Yigao was my third brother! It's just icing on the cake, how much time can that help? You have been under my command for two years, and you still do not have half a minute of merit, yet you have given a very large gift to third brother. You probably know that the Seven Profound Valleys had started Lin Ming on the core disciple test tonight. As long as he passed by, then he would become a core disciple! ”
Zhu Yan's heart evilly twitched. Core disciple!
This is unthinkable. In the entire Sky Fortune Kingdom, only Qin Xingxuan was a locally born core disciple!
As for the others, they were children from a mystical martial arts family.
"Zhu Yan, do you know what the Martial House core disciple value is to me and my third brother?" The Tenth Prince's expression was rather grim. A core disciple of the Martial House would enter the Seven Profound Valleys in the future. After which, they would either stay in the Seven Profound Valleys, or be sent back. In the second case, they would be designated as the Master of the Seven Profound Martial House, or as the Seven Profound Envoy.
If Lin Ming were to stay in the Seven Profound Valleys, it would be fine But if he was sent back to become a Martial House Master or the Seven Great Envoys, then it was incredible!
Sky Fortune Kingdom was a vassal state to the Seven Profound Valleys and under their jurisdiction. The Martial House Master and the Seven Great Envoys had a status that surpassed even emperors!
If Lin Ming was appointed as the Master of the Martial House or as the Envoy of the Seven Profound and openly supported the Crown Prince, then there was no hope for him to ascend the throne!
And if he failed to ascend the throne, then the price might be his life!
Zhu Yan clenched his hands so hard that his nails dug into the flesh of his palm. Core disciple! How can this happen !? If Lin Ming one day became the Master of the Martial House of the Seven Profound Martial Houses, or the Seven Profound Envoys, then to kill him would be as easy as destroying an ant. Thinking of this, he felt like he was drowning in a bottomless well of despair.
This hostility, can it be corrected?
Lan Yunyue slumped against the wall, and her face lost all of its color. Core disciple ... Lin Ming, he wants to become a core disciple?
In the future he would become the Master of the Seven Profound Martial House or he might be a Seven Profound Envoy …
To him, an existence like this was just a mere legend; it was too far for him.
At this moment, the Tenth Prince also noticed Lan Yunyue. She thought that Lan Yunyue was a servant, but after noticing the fine clothes Lan Yunyue was wearing, she realized that she was wrong. "You ... Lan Yunyue?
