The name "Third Prince" was like the most terrifying thing in the world. The lively celebration hall instantly became as cold as ice.
"It's the Third Prince of the Sky Mist Dynasty, Prince Jin, Zhong Huai!"
Xie Tian understood and quickly returned to his seat. He bowed his head and waited respectfully like everyone else.
"Haha, Little Chan, please rise."
The golden-robed Zhong Huai hurriedly stretched out his hand to help You Xiao Chan up. At the same time, the Imperial guards behind him charged into the main hall of the celebration banquet.
"Prince Jin has arrived. Everyone kneel!"
Everyone in the hall, including the You Clan members, knelt down. Xie Tian frowned slightly and saluted.
"Do you want to die?"
Bang!
The Imperial Guard kicked Xie Tian's knee, and the sound of metal clashing rang out.
Xie Tian didn't move, but the Emptiness Realm Imperial Guard staggered back five or six steps before he could steady himself. Everyone was stunned.
"I am wearing armor and cannot fully salute. Your Highness, please forgive me."
Xie Tian looked at the Imperial Guard who kicked him and said softly.
Zhong Huai sneered and pointed at Xie Tian. "Drag him out and behead him."
"Your Highness, please wait!" You Xiao Chan quickly suppressed the astonishment in her heart and explained, "This person is from the countryside and hasn't been in the world for long. He has a one-track mind. Your Highness, there is no need to lower yourself to his level. Your Highness, please take a seat."
"Haha, Little Chan knows how to talk."
Zhong Huai, who was grinning from ear to ear, sat down and began to chat with You Xiao Chan intimately, ignoring everyone else.
Xie Tian was just about to sit down when Zhong Huai turned his head and looked at him. "Do you think this Prince will let you go?"
You Xiao Chan's face stiffened and she forced a smile. "Your Highness is joking. Quickly apologize to Prince Jin."
"Little Chan, you're too softhearted." Zhong Huai laughed and shook his head. "This Prince is not as smart as you, but it is not enough to win the heart of a servant. Kindness and power must be used together."
"Your Highness is right."
Zhong Huai looked at the imperial guard who kicked him and said indifferently, "This Prince didn't bring you out to embarrass this Prince. You know what to do."
"This subordinate has committed the death penalty!" The imperial guard was so frightened that his face turned pale. He glared at Xie Tian fiercely. "Brat, you've won this battle of life and death. I'll bear all the consequences."
Xie Tian frowned.
"Your Highness, this …" You Xiao Chan frowned.
"Little Chan, don't worry." Zhong Huai chuckled. "If he can't even defeat an ordinary subordinate of mine, then he isn't worthy of your use at all."
If not for the fact that it was a life-and-death battle, Xie Tian would have admitted defeat. To him, dealing with You Xiao Chan was ten times more difficult than dealing with Xie Dong.
He knew that if he didn't fight, Zhong Huai wouldn't let him go, so he followed behind the Imperial Guard and walked out of the hall.
"Speaking of which, you should know why This King is here."
You Xiao Chan, who was worried about Xie Tian's safety, was startled when she heard this. She forced a smile and said, "Xiao Chan is stupid, I don't know King Jin."
Zhong Huai frowned and said unhappily, "I already asked your Second Uncle to bring a message. Could it be that he didn't bring the person, Jiang You-"
His voice stopped abruptly because Xie Tian, who had just walked out of the hall, walked into the hall.
Everyone was stunned.
"You … finished?" You Xiao Chan's mouth opened slightly as she asked in shock.
"Fortunately, I didn't disappoint you. I barely won." Xie Tian shook off the blood on his fists, cupped his fists, and walked towards the platform.
Zhong Huai finally understood what had happened, and his face immediately darkened. "A bunch of good-for-nothings!"
"This subordinate has committed the death penalty!"
The imperial guards were scared out of their wits. One of the Void Realm Level Seven imperial guards immediately walked towards Xie Tian and shouted with killing intent, "Come out and fight!"
"Your Highness, this …"
Zhong Huai frowned. "We shouldn't meddle in the affairs of servants. Your Second Uncle wouldn't dare to disobey this King's orders. The two of us are about to go to the Body Sect to cultivate, so there's no need to beat around the bush.
You Xiao Chan sighed and was about to refuse when Zhong Huai's eyes flashed, and he transmitted a message. "A thousand years ago, your You Family was the top of the Four Great Clans, but now it's the last. Whether or not you can regain your former glory depends on this King. Think about it carefully."
You Xiao Chan once again fell into a dilemma. An hour later, she looked straight at Zhong Huai and said, "Your Highness has the Undying Divine Body of the Four Great Divine Bodies. Logically, Xiao Chan shouldn't hesitate, but this matter concerns Xiao Chan's entire life, and it can't be decided with just a few words."
"What do you mean?" Zhong Huai frowned.
You Xiao Chan forced a smile and transmitted a message. "If Your Highness can complete three tasks at the Body Sect, I will be Your Highness's woman."
"Haha!" Zhong Huai laughed. "If you had stated your conditions earlier, this King wouldn't have had to make this trip!"
You Xiao Chan sighed bitterly in her heart, but she forced a smile as she discussed the details with Zhong Huai.
Time passed. The Zhao camp's group sat in their seats, not even daring to move their eyes. They were deeply afraid of being targeted by Zhong Huai.
Six hours later, Zhong Huai laughed and stood up. He said in high spirits, "Then it's decided! We'll meet at the Body Sect in half a month, and this King will grant your wish!"
Zhong Huai's right foot had just stepped out of the door when it stopped in midair, unable to land.
"Oh no, something must have happened to Hu Lai!"
You Xiao Chan's heart jumped, and she hastily went forward to take a look.
Seeing that the person in question had finally come out, Xie Tian punched out, killing the exhausted guard. He cupped his fists to You Xiao Chan. "Fortunately, I didn't disappoint you. It was a narrow victory."
"Ha …" Zhong Huai, who had regained his senses, laughed. He looked coldly at Xie Tian and walked away.
"Farewell, Your Highness!"
After sending off the Third Prince of the Skymist Dynasty, the celebration feast was still as cold as ever.
Even the host, You Xiao Chan, was not in the mood to ease the atmosphere. All she could think of was Hu Lai.
"That's right, he acted very quickly the first time. He only wanted to resolve the problem as quickly as possible."
"The second time, he was afraid of causing trouble again, so he dragged the battle to the last moment, waiting for Zhong Huai to leave before killing him."
Combining these two matters, You Xiao Chan's understanding of Xie Tian deepened.
"He does things cleanly, and he would rather die than submit. Furthermore, his combat strength is not bad."
After sending off the Zhao camp's group, Xie Tian was once again called over by You Xiao Chan.
"Chan Courtyard!"
Xie Tian followed the housekeeper into the pavilion after glancing at the two words carved on the fake mountain in the courtyard.
"Why didn't you kneel?" You Xiao Chan asked.
"He isn't qualified," Xie Tian replied calmly.
Xie Tian's arrogance startled You Xiao Chan. "Did you know that if I hadn't promised Prince Jin one thing just now, you would have definitely died?"
If it wasn't for the fact that I couldn't bear to give up my identity as Hu Lai, I would have faked my death and escaped again. Xie Tian sighed inwardly and cupped his fists. "Since Miss can protect me once, you can protect me a second time."
"You!"
You Xiao Chan couldn't help but laugh. She really liked Xie Tian's intelligence.
"I can see that you have principles." Thinking of herself, You Xiao Chan sighed sorrowfully. "However, the prerequisite for principles is strength. In the future, don't do such impulsive things and provoke the calamity of death. You can leave."
After Xie Tian left, a person suddenly appeared in the pavilion.
This person was the terrifying expert who had inspected Xie Tian's grave for the second time.
"How was it?"
"My cultivation is ordinary, and my methods are ordinary. But …"
You Xiao Chan's body trembled. She found it hard to believe that there would be times when this existence would choke on his words.
"But what?"
"His battle awareness is outstanding. Just this alone allowed him to surpass four minor realms and defeat a Void Realm Level Seven Imperial Guard."
You Xiao Chan suddenly stood up, her eyes flashing. "If his cultivation improves greatly, won't I have a powerful assistant when I go to the Body Sect?"
"This …" The expert pondered for a moment and shook his head. "In the Body Sect, Void Realm is completely useless. Furthermore, Miss's opponents are all legacy disciples. He isn't qualified."
"Oh, I thought Uncle Zong was praising him because he wanted me to bring him there."
You Xiao Chan's eyes flashed. "Then let's test him again. Spread the word that the clan will hold a small sparring session. Anyone above the Mortal Void Realm can participate."
