Lin Feng raised his head and looked at the man in the black robe. It was Chu Chun Qiu.
Chu Chun Qiu didn't need to wear a mask anymore because Lin Feng knew who he was. Besides, apart from Lin Feng, who else could recognize Chu Chun Qiu? Nobody.
Chu Li arrived in front of Fache but when he saw Lin Feng, a smile appeared on his face. Others couldn't see the change in Lin Feng but Chu Chun Qiu had been Lin Feng's rival for a long time. Chu Chun Qiu had always dreamed of defeating Lin Feng, how could he not see it?
Lin Feng was a bit nervous. He was scared that Chu Chun Qiu would expose him. If Chu Chun Qiu told him that he was Lin Feng, the Faran Empire would explode again. After all, the news of Chu Li and Lin Feng's battle had spread far and wide.
Even though Lin Feng hadn't finished in the top six and hadn't won the competition, he was as famous as Chu Li.
Chu Chun Qiu noticed that Lin Feng was nervous and vigilant. He couldn't help but smile indifferently. He ignored Fache's smile and walked towards Lin Feng.
"Long time no see, old friend." Said Chu Li while looking at Lin Feng with a big smile on his face.
"What?"
"What? They're old friends? "
"Chu Li knows Mu Feng? How's that possible?"
As soon as Chu Li's words fell, everyone was deeply shocked, including Fach and the twenty elders behind him. Not a single one of them was not shocked.
Fach was a little stunned. He never thought that Mu Feng, who was always by his side, actually knew Chu Li, and that they were old friends? How was that possible?
Lin Feng looked at Chu Chun Qiu in a serious way. He said to him using telepathy, "Don't ruin my plans."
"Lin Feng, what do you want to do now? Do you want me to join you?" Asked Chu Chun Qiu while smiling. Of course, he was using telepathy so nobody else could hear him. They could only see that one of them was smiling and the other looked solemn.
"No need, I just want you to not ruin my plans." Said Lin Feng in a low voice. His tone was extremely gloomy.
"Alright, I won't ruin your plans. But what's your name now?"
"Mu Feng." Said Lin Feng indifferently. He glanced at Chu Chun Qiu.
Chu Chun Qiu nodded and smiled at Lin Feng in a resplendent way, "Mu Feng, long time no see. Surprisingly, you're here?"
"Um, Sir Chu Li, do you know Big Brother Mu Feng?" Fache couldn't help but ask Chu Li, hoping to satisfy his curious heart.
Chu Li glanced at Fache and smiled faintly. "Who are you?"
"He's the second prince of the Faran Empire, Fach." Lin Feng took the initiative to answer the question and looked at Fache.
"Oh, it's the Second Prince. My apologies." When Chu Li heard this, he purposely let out a long "oh" before curling his lips into a smile and walking into the palace. He did not care about the ugly and angry expressions of the surrounding elders at all.
Lin Feng looked at Chu Chun Qiu leave and turned around. He felt relieved. Chu Chun Qiu hadn't exposed him, he was kind.
"Lin Feng, big brother, do you really know Chu Li?" Said Fahe while looking at Lin Feng. He was extremely curious and surprised. At the same time, he was even more excited. If that was the case, then Lin Feng was definitely not a nobody.
"That has nothing to do with you. Just host the banquet tonight." Lin Feng shook his head and didn't reply.
Immediately, Fach's expression became a bit gloomy. However, this time, he didn't dare to get angry. He didn't even dare to get angry. To know someone like Chu Li, it could be seen how powerful Mu Feng's background was. He might even be a Heaven's Favorite from a hidden clan.
Fache felt like he had made the right decision. Inviting Lin Feng to his side was the right thing to do.
Time passed slowly. In the next few hours, other geniuses from different clans appeared: Xuan Mei 'er from the Mysterious Clan, Garuda from the Ancient Beast Clan and Yuan Guang from the Yuan Palace.
The last one to appear in front of the palace was a man wearing ordinary clothes. He looked indifferent, but he didn't want to give up. He looked skinny, but he looked energetic.
He didn't have any subordinates with him. Only the skinny man appeared in front of the palace.
Fach's face darkened when he saw the skinny man. Disdain and mockery could be seen in his eyes.
"Third Brother, Father has never summoned you. Did you sneak back from the border?" Fah's tone was very cold, and even a bit reproachful as he looked at the skinny man.
Lin Feng was surprised. Surprisingly, it was the third prince, Fa Xuan, who hadn't shown up for a long time. He was also the only prince who hadn't participated in the Imperial Clan's internal strife. His treatment was even worse than that of an ordinary elder. He was also the son of a concubine and his mother was an imperial maid. His family background wasn't high, which made the old emperor dislike him.
The third prince had come to the Imperial Palace at such a crucial moment. Lin Feng was curious, what had made the third prince come to the Imperial Palace?
It was said that without the old emperor's permission, the third prince wasn't allowed to enter the palace.
Fa Xuan looked at the tall and strong man in front of him. It was his second brother, but they didn't feel like family. Even though they had the same blood in their veins, people thought that his blood was inferior and didn't belong to the Imperial Clan.
The Old King even wanted to strip him of his identity as the Third Prince and demote him to an ordinary person. He only wanted to give him enough clothes and food for the rest of his life. However, at the last moment, Elder Fa Duo stopped him and prevented this from happening.
Therefore, in the Royal Palace of the Faran Empire, only Elder Fa Duo treated him well. No one else treated him as a human being.
"What? Don't talk? Do you think staying silent will lessen your sins? Hmph, I'm telling you, going back to the palace without permission and leaving the border is a crime that will get you nine generations of your family executed! " When Fahe saw that Fa Xuan didn't speak, he was instantly enraged and couldn't help but roar. His words were harsh and sarcastic.
Lin Feng looked at Fache. At that moment, Lin Feng could see the real Fache. He was just like the other two princes, a typical member of the Imperial Clan.
Lin Feng felt disgusted with Fache. He felt sympathy for Fa Xuan, who didn't have a good family background and wasn't favored by his father. His experiences were similar to Lin Feng's when he was young.
"Second brother, I'm going back to the palace to report something to my father. Please forgive me." Said Fa Xuan. His voice was hoarse and bitter. Then, he took out a jade pendant from his pocket. It looked old but it was very exquisite.
"What? You want to use that jade pendant to get rid of me? "said Fache when he saw that Fa Xuan was holding the jade pendant in his hand. He couldn't help but smile in a mocking way.
Fache's face was ice-cold. He smashed the jade pendant with his hand and all the pieces fell to the ground.
"You … You destroyed the jade pendant that my mother gave me?"
The jade pendant was broken into countless pieces. Fa Xuan's face immediately turned deathly pale. At the same time, his eyes were filled with killing intent. He clenched his fists and glared at Fache.
"Your mother? She's just a lowly maid and she gave you a jade pendant. Did she steal it? "said Fache while looking at Fa Xuan in a mocking way. He was humiliated.
"Alright, I have something to do. You better hurry back to the border within an hour or I will report to my father and punish you." Fache didn't have much time to waste with Fa Xuan and he didn't want to waste his breath.
"Mu Feng, big brother, let's go." Said Fache in a flash. He looked like a well-behaved prince and smiled at Lin Feng in a resplendent way. Lin Feng felt disgusted and disgusted.
Lin Feng turned his head and looked at Fa Xuan. Fa Xuan's eyes were filled with tears but he looked even more solemn.
"Wait a moment. Why don't you bring him in? If something really happens at the border and you stop him from entering, then if the king blames you, you'll be the one to be punished."
Said Lin Feng to Fache in a solemn tone while standing in his original position.
When Fahe heard Lin Feng, he was surprised. But he had to admit that Lin Feng was telling the truth. He had no choice but to think about it. If something really happened at the border and he prevented Fa Xuan from going to the Imperial Palace to report, that would be a serious crime.
Fa Xuan nodded. In the end, he decided to bring Fa Xuan in.
"You, come in with us." Said Fache coldly. Then, he walked into the palace and didn't look at Fa Xuan or Lin Feng. He was annoyed that Lin Feng was helping Fa Xuan.
Lin Feng looked at Fa Xuan and waved his left hand. All the broken pieces of the jade pendant fell into his hand. Then, with the power of the world, the jade pendant was restored to its original state, even though there were still some cracks.
"This is for you. It's probably the most precious thing you have." Said Lin Feng while looking at Fa Xuan and smiling indifferently. He was holding the jade pendant in his hand.
Fa Xuan looked at the restored jade pendant excitedly. Although it was a little damaged, he was still very touched. He held the jade pendant tightly and put it in his pocket.
"Thank you." Said Fa Xuan, smiling at Lin Feng.
"You're the third prince?" asked Lin Feng, even though he already knew who he was.
"Hehe, what third prince, you're not even as good as a horse in the palace. If I had to choose again, I'd rather be an ordinary person." Fa Xuan laughed bitterly. His eyes revealed a trace of anger and unwillingness, but there was even more helplessness. His fate had been decided since he was born.
"Alright, let's go in." Said Lin Feng smiling indifferently. He didn't say much to Fa Xuan, he just followed him into the palace.
"You know how to get there, right?"
After entering the palace, Lin Feng didn't know what to do. There were two paths on the left and right, both were made of purple stones, but the palace seemed to be very far away.
Because Fahe wasn't happy with Lin Feng, he had already gone in alone without Lin Feng. Lin Feng could see that Fahe wasn't as good as Fahe, at least Fahe was pretending to be humble.
"Even though I rarely go to the palace, I know the way. If I'm not mistaken, there's a big event today, right?" said Fa Xuan nodding and smiling indifferently.
"It's not a big event, it seems like the empire has invited many geniuses." Said Lin Feng while nodding at Fa Xuan.
When Fa Xuan heard that, he nodded. After a long time, he raised his head and smiled at Lin Feng, "If that's the case, we should go this way."
"Every big event is held in the Universal Palace, that's my father's palace."
