After returning to his room, Xiao Chen sat cross-legged on a cushion with his eyes slightly closed, and he began his daily cultivation.
After a night of silence, when Xiao Chen woke up from his cultivation early in the morning, Gu Xiu reported to Xiao Chen that the Third Prince, Chu Wuming, had arrived.
During this period of time, Gu Xiu had practically become Xiao Chen's personal attendant. Gu Xiu didn't reject the fact that a Dao King Realm cultivator had become his attendant at all. Conversely, he was very happy. Perhaps in his opinion, he would be able to obtain more fortuitous encounters by following by Xiao Chen's side. After all, Xiao Chen was a miracle in the eyes of the cultivators of the Heavenly Chen Continent.
When he heard that Chu Wuming had arrived, he slept in the Heavenly Stellar Residence last night and asked Gu Xiu to bring him to the garden. Xiao Chen washed up before walking towards the garden unhurriedly.
The Heavenly Stellar Residence in the imperial capital had been arranged by Chu Wuming. It was extremely large and beautifully decorated. Not only did it have a garden, there were also bamboo courtyards, artificial mountains, artificial lakes, and various other sights. It could be said to be extremely luxurious.
When Xiao Chen arrived at the garden, Chu Wuming who had arrived first and was seated in the pavilion immediately stood up and knelt down towards Xiao Chen who walked over.
When he saw Chu Wuming actually bow so respectfully to him, Xiao Chen quickly walked over and personally helped Chu Wuming up. He feigned surprise and bewilderment as he said, "Your highness, why are you doing this?"
"Brother Xiao Chen, it's the fortune of my lifetime to be able to obtain Brother Xiao Chen's assistance." Chu Wuming replied when he heard Xiao Chen's words.
After yesterday's incident, Chu Wuming completely understood that Xiao Chen wasn't as simple as he thought. In terms of strength, Xiao Chen was superior to Yang Heng, so Chu Wuming was simply the fortune of three lifetimes to be able to obtain Xiao Chen's assistance.
It was precisely because he realised this that Chu Wuming's attitude towards Xiao Chen underwent a 180-degree change. It was just like how Chu Wuque and Chu Wushuang treated Yang Heng and the others with an extremely respectful attitude. This was obvious from how Chu Wushuang didn't dare to criticize Yang Heng even though he was filled with rage yesterday.
He completely raised Xiao Chen to the same level as Yang Heng and Chu Wuque. When he heard Chu Wuming's words, Xiao Chen smiled and said.
"Your Highness, there's no need to be like this. Xiao Chen said that he would help Your Highness, so he definitely won't go back on his word. Furthermore, didn't Your Highness help Xiao Chen a lot? Look at everything in front of you, isn't it all thanks to Your Highness?"
As he spoke, Xiao Chen dragged Chu Wuming into the pavilion. The two of them sat opposite each other. When he heard Xiao Chen's words, Chu Wuming's face was filled with gratitude. At the same time, Chu Wuming felt incomparably fortunate to be able to meet someone like Xiao Chen. If he hadn't met Xiao Chen, Chu Wuming would probably have already withdrawn from the battle for the position of Crown Prince. Furthermore, it was hard to say whether he would still be alive.
Chu Wuque and Chu Wushuang could let the other princes off, but they definitely wouldn't let him off. Similarly, if Chu Wuming were to gain power, it would be the same.
As for his other brothers, Chu Wuming could let them be free and unfettered princes, because these brothers would not pose the slightest threat to him. However, it was different for Chu Wuque and Chu Wushuang. Even if they were blood-related brothers, Chu Wuming would definitely not let the two of them live in this world.
Xiao Chen gave Chu Wuming hope. It could even be said that he saved Chu Wuming's life. The two of them chatted in the garden. Of course, it was more about Chu Wuming thanking Xiao Chen.
While the two of them were talking, Gu Xiu came to Xiao Chen's side and said softly, "Young Master, the head of the Yang Family is here to apologize."
Hearing Gu Xiu's words, Xiao Chen smiled. Xiao Chen naturally knew why the head of the Yang Family was here to apologize. It was obviously because of the Illusionary Moon Conference.
Looking at Chu Wuming, Xiao Chen smiled and said, "I'm afraid Your Highness will have a great help today."
After saying that, Xiao Chen turned to Gu Xiu and said, "Bring him in."
The arrival of the head of the Yang Family was not surprising to Xiao Chen, and there was nothing to be happy about. However, to Chu Wuming, it was of great significance because today, Xiao Chen had absolute confidence that he could make the Yang Family rely on Chu Wuming. This way, Chu Wuming's power would expand further, and he would be closer to his two older brothers.
Not long after, Gu Xiu brought the head of the Yang Family in. He had seen the head of the Yang Family yesterday, but he did not pay much attention to him. The head of the Yang Family was tall and strong, with a square face, thick eyebrows, and big eyes. Just by looking at his appearance, he gave off a forthright feeling. In fact, that was indeed the case. The head of the Yang Family was indeed forthright and did not have any schemes. In the Jiang, Shen, Han, and Yang Families, the head of the Yang Family could be said to be a martial artist through and through.
He quickly walked in front of Xiao Chen and Chu Wuming. He did not expect Chu Wuming to be here as well. The head of the Yang Family was stunned at first, but he quickly bowed to the two of them and said, "Minister Right General Yang Jian greets His Highness the Third Prince and Young Master Xiao."
Looking at Yang Jian, Xiao Chen spoke first, "General Yang is too courteous. May I know why the general is here today?"
Without beating around the bush, Xiao Chen went straight to the point. Hearing this, Yang Jian was a straightforward person and immediately told the truth about the purpose of his visit. It was mainly to apologize to Xiao Chen.
Hearing Yang Jian's words, Xiao Chen fell into silence. At this moment, Chu Wuming spoke, "General Yang, I am the host of the Illusionary Moon Conference this time. To be honest, the Yang Family has indeed gone a bit overboard. They actually wanted to harm Brother Xiao."
Xiao Chen was silent. In addition to Chu Wuming's words, Yang Jian became anxious and immediately knelt in front of Xiao Chen, hoping to obtain Xiao Chen's forgiveness.
As a general, Yang Jian naturally did not have many tricks up his sleeve. He knew that he could not offend Xiao Chen, so he could only try his best to obtain Xiao Chen's forgiveness.
After taking out enough sincerity, Xiao Chen did not have any resentment towards Yang Jian. Looking at Yang Jian kneeling on the ground, Xiao Chen personally helped him up and spoke with a smile.
"General Yang, what are you doing? This is too serious, too serious. If you want to resolve this matter, it is simple. If General Yang is willing to work for Your Highness, then what is the grudge between us?"
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Yang Jian quickly reacted. Evidently, Xiao Chen wanted to help Chu Wuming win over the Yang Family. Looking at Xiao Chen, then at Chu Wuming, Yang Jian hesitated for a moment before clasping his hands and bowing to Chu Wuming. He said in a serious tone, "The Yang Family is willing to work for Your Highness."
Hearing Yang Jian's words, Chu Wuming was overjoyed. Obtaining the support of the Yang Family was indeed a huge help to Chu Wuming. Immediately, Chu Wuming personally invited Yang Jian to sit and spoke with a smile.
"General Yang is a pillar of the empire. Now that I can obtain your help, my great cause will be successful. Haha."
