The Fourth Prince
073. investigating strategies

"All right!! When he straightened all this out. "

Xiao Ahnzi first opened his voice, glancing at every head involved at the dining table. 

"From this moment on, we will walk on our own, Miss Xiao Lu and I will soon be out of this Monster King mountain range, because my goal is to come here to bring her home to her Father. " Xiao Ahnzi began to reveal his identity as the person assigned to pick up Xiao Lu Metian. 

Xiao Lu Metian was certainly shocked to hear the young man's words, obviously already the one who sent this snow-white-haired youngster turned out to be King Xiao Tian, his father from the western horizon Kingdom. Xiao Lu Metian certainly felt proud, his father was so worried about his state, but he was already determined to continue his journey in the Dragon and Phoenix hunting competition. The girl then voiced her decision. 

"I refuse! I can't trust a stranger like you. I will continue this competition! "

"With this kind of ability? " Xiao Ahnzi deliberately offended Xiao Lu Metian by questioning the girl's ability. 

"I don't care, even dying is okay! " Xiao Lu Metian answered tightly, it was obvious that the person in front of him was underestimating his abilities, 

"I guessed it, " Xiao Ahnzi answered briefly. 

"Sorry, I want to tell you something, "Ye Ming Hao held out a hand, asking to speak. 

The attitude of the young man who became their senior, certainly made everyone stare at the subject that was considered trash. 

"... " Xiao Ahnzi is waiting. 

Seeing the white-haired youth not reacting, Ye Ming Hao took that as approval, then continued. 

"Miss Xiao, what this young master said is true, ahhh this is complicated,, its simple event for a handful of people is just to get rid of people like Miss," Ye Ming Hao looked around, looking around, anxious speech heard the tree tree and then delivered to the person concerned. 

"Senior intended? " Xiao Lu Metian's forehead was wrinkled at the thought of Ye Ming Hao's words, although it was true that he and his twin were enemies of various parties, but Xiao Lu Metian had never been so bad at it. 

"Sorry, I can't explain why Miss falls into the category to be eliminated, "Ye Ming Hao's tone is low, and his voice is low, until now he had not found the right words to describe Xiao Lu Metian's condition. 

"I myself am also on that list of things to be eliminated, because I am a piece of trash that only embarrasses the academy, but Miss Xiao's condition is more urgent, there is a party that is threatened because of the figure of the twins from the Western Ufuk Kingdom.at least so the rumor that I heard"

Xiao Lu Metian grew increasingly riled up, his face flushed red withstanding emotions. 

"But, to get out of this competition location is also impossible to do, the exit portal is in the Ruins of the Dragon Palace and Phoenix, as well, walking to any extent we will never find a way out of this place," Ye Ming Hao glanced at Xiao Ahnzi then said "young master understands my intentions right? "

Xiao Ahnzi was certainly confident of being able to barge out, but he would not reveal his abilities. 

"His one-on-one path is just continuing this competition, is it? " Shu Liu Xin, who had just listened, finally opened her voice. 

"Not really, we could have not gone to the Dragon and Phoenix Palace, when the time of the competition ended, automatically all the surviving participants would have been teleported out. " Ye Ming Hao said casually, 

The two Shu Liu Xin bodyguards who turned out to be three brothers, the eldest was named Chu Ping, the second was Chu Kiam, while the third, who had died in the previous fight was named Chu Sing, was, the remaining two people seemed curious about Ye Ming Hao's description, the two people did not hear Ye Ming Hao's description of the subject who had participated in this competition three times. 

"Where did senior know about it? " Chu Ping finally asked his question. 

"I've been to this competition three times! "

".... "

Ye Ming Hao then continued "I think, Miss Xiao need not continue on towards the dragon and phoenix palaces, but staying in this place is also not something I suggested right,,, "

"Why is that?" Xiao Lu Metian began to soften, if everything Ye Ming Hao said was the truth, continuing the journey to the Dragon and Phoenix Palace was tantamount to a trap. 

"I know a place that may be slightly lower in its danger level, anyone who does not want to continue, can take refuge there. " Ye Ming Hao closed his words, his eyes paused on Xiao Ahnzi. 

Xiao Ahnzi did not show what reaction, he was a little suspicious, what was this liar planning? It was indeed that Xiao Ahnzi, the fourth prince had never placed his full trust in others. He even suspected his own teacher, even his father. 

But whatever this old student planned was fine, Xiao Ahnzi was confident enough to escape even an emergency. Moreover, Xiao Ahnzi had four additional hands that could be worn whenever and wherever he needed.

expressionlessly Shu Liu Xin shook her head "who knows?"

The bored Xiao Ahnzi did not mind Shu Liu Xin's reply, "then what are we waiting for?" Xiao Ahnzi was already standing, with a single swing of his hand, the dining table along with his dishes and other utensils disappeared into the spatial ring, within him there was already a person who would wash all the utensils.

Ye Ming Hao finally led the next journey, it turned out that the young man turned his way back towards the great lake, traveling the opposite direction of the Dragon and Phoenix palaces.

Xiao Ahnzi who was riding the White Tiger had offered Xiao Lu Metian to drive along, but the girl preferred to walk.

Ye Ming Hao was apparently still hiding his abilities, as evidenced by his forced journey to appear very normal, as well,

No matter how the person tried, his weakness still caught the third eye technique, the drowsy Xiao Ahnzi on the White Tiger's back tried to be patient in Ye Ming Hao's game.

After a boring trip for half a day they finally arrived at the place that Ye Ming Hao was referring to.

Shu Liu Xin and the two bodyguards who finally cut off followed Xiao Lu Metian, goosebumps with the suppressing aura present in this place.

"senior,,," Shu Liu Xin hissed, her voice almost like a whisper as she called out to Ye Ming Hao.

"hmmp? What's up?" Ye Ming Hao did not display the state like a depressed person with the aura of this place.

"weren't we in the wrong place?" Shu Liu Xin spoke so close to Ye Ming Hao's ears.

"no,, I know what you mean," Ye Ming Hao turned his gaze towards the lake, after a new sigh continued, "this lake holds a very great mystery, it is not known what creatures dwell in it, but whatever it is, as long as you do not enter the lake, nothing bad will happen."

As for the goosebumps Shu Liu Xin and her two bodyguards experienced, none other than because they recognized the nature of the demonic beast so well, this invisible subject was clearly far beyond their abilities.

On the other hand, the White Tiger that Xiao Ahnzi was riding on, since approaching the edge of this lake was actually already intending to escape, the demonic beast instinct declared a great danger residing in this place.

Lucky as the Beast began to show signs of going out of control, Xiao Ahnzi immediately did something to bring him back to his senses,

Regardless of Ye Ming Hao's somehow bad plan either way, the one who was the happiest with this condition was none other than Xiao Ahnzi, the fourth prince was indeed intending to investigate this unusual large lake, something unusual, storing up an unusual thing as well.

The Ruins of the Dragon and Phoenix Palace.

Contestants began to arrive at the Dragon and Phoenix arena, a stage that had an area of approximately one hundred square meters located in the inner courtyard of the Dragon and Phoenix Palaces.

Xiao Khong Chun, who arrived on the second day, was the fastest participant in the competition's history.

The other participants finally arrived at the end of the third day, including within the group, Qin Shi ranked second top disciple of Tianqi Academy, as well as Wan Hao Zhong ranked third of Tianqi Academy. But everyone could see something was different with the young man, his sleeves seemed empty.

An elder who was his colleague from the western region immediately approached the young man. The two of them spoke in a soft voice and whispered. But it could be seen, the change in look on the face of the elder after the secret conversation.

Another elder was also talking to Qin Shi for one eye, not knowing what the dandy young man was saying, but the elder's expression was no better than that of the elder who met Wan Hao Zhong.

After the private conversation between them was over, it appeared that Wan Hao Zhong and Qin Shi walked together onto the stage, the two of them then chose the place closest to a young man who was meditating. the eyes of the two men showed hatred towards the subject.

The Tianqi Academy's head who stood at the inside of the Dragon and Phoenix palaces could feel the killing intent emitting from the two people's bodies,

"what really happened? Why did Xiao Khong Chun become the center of hatred of these disciples?"
