The Day of the Moon
After exchanging greetings, the group set off toward a mansion in the inner city.
During the conversation, Lin Ling found out that today was the day of the Lunar Star. In the previous world, the Lunar Star was equivalent to the Mid-Autumn Festival. No wonder there was a banquet.
Mid-autumn Festival?
Lin Ling had a nostalgic look on his face. It had been a few years since he came to this world. He really missed his previous world. There were mooncakes there.
The mansion was huge, and glittering with gold and jade. There were already a large number of people inside, all of whom belonged to some of the most powerful organizations in the inner city. They were all drinking and chatting, and when the Second Prince arrived, they all rose to their feet, smiled, and bowed in greeting.
Although the Second Prince didn't have much prestige in the Cloudsea Empire, his status was still there, so he still had to give him face.
Lin Ling stood behind the second prince, his eyes flickering. He could clearly see that although these people were bowing, their words were insincere. Although they hid it well, he could see the disdain in their eyes.
On the surface, the second prince didn't seem to care. He waved his hand, and his subordinates all took their seats.
The people in the hall continued to eat and drink, chatting and laughing. No one spoke to the Second Prince. Not to mention trying to curry favor with him, they didn't even try to curry favor with him. In their hearts, the Second Prince was a good person who would only be a subject in the future, and was not worth worrying about.
"His Majesty the Third Prince has arrived!"
Right at this moment, a loud shout rang out.
Everyone stood up with respectful expressions on their faces, not daring to be negligent. The treatment they received was completely different from what the Second Prince received.
The Third Prince — Yun Yifan!
This person was ambitious and well-read. He was one of the most promising candidates for the throne, second only to the crown prince. He was more competitive than all the other princes.
Such a person could very well be the future King of the Cloud Sea. Who would dare to offend him?
Seeing everyone's reaction, the second prince's men were all unhappy, feeling indignant on behalf of their master. Lin Ling's gaze swept across the crowd and finally landed on the second prince. He saw that the second prince still had a smile on his face, but there was an imperceptible glint in the depths of his eyes.
This made Lin Ling nod secretly.
This Second Prince wasn't a hopeless person!
If the Second Prince didn't do anything, then Lin Ling would have to consider his own future. This superior of his was useless and not worth following. However, it was obvious that the Second Prince was enduring and had an unyielding pride in his heart!
Obviously, the situation caused the Second Prince His Majesty the Second Prince was enduring and secretly developing his forces, waiting for the moment when he could soar into the sky.
He knew how to keep a low profile and endure patiently, but he had pride in his heart. Such a superior was worthy of Lin Ling's help.
"Haha, it's the day of the moon. Everyone is early!"
At the gate, a tall and straight figure appeared. This person was dressed in a blue and white robe. His long hair was not tied up and was casually let down. He had a smile on his face and gave people a feeling of friendliness. It was just that everything seemed casual, but there was an indescribable temperament in his every move.
It was as if this world was controlled by my wanton and unrestrained ways!
"He is the Third Prince?"
Lin Ling's eyes flickered. He also had a grudge against the Third Prince. He didn't offend the Third Prince that day, but the Third Prince ordered people to kill the Fire Ancient Clan to satisfy his subordinates.
Lin Ling would remember this grudge. It was just that he wasn't strong enough at the moment, so he suppressed it in his heart.
'This person looks like a scholar, but his actions have an aura of supremacy. He's a match for the Second Prince!' Lin Ling evaluated in his heart.
The Second Prince convinced people with his virtue and gave people the impression that he was easy to talk to. He was flexible and was a talented ruler!
The Third Prince was well-read. His words and actions were righteous. He gave people the impression that he was a scholarly official and a talented ruler!
As for the Crown Prince.
Lin Ling's eyes flashed coldly. He would meet this enemy who killed his father one day.
"Everyone, there's no need to be so polite. Eh, Second Brother, you're here earlier than me!"
The Third Prince gestured for everyone to sit down. Then, he led his subordinates to their seats and said to the Second Prince.
"Hehe, I had nothing to do, so I came early. I'm not like Third Brother, who is busy every day and can't get away!" The Second Prince laughed. It seemed that he had a good relationship with the Third Prince.
"You're too humble, Second Brother!"
The Third Prince shook his head and smiled. He was extremely polite.
Although everyone thought that the Second Prince didn't have the temperament of an emperor, he knew that his Second Brother wasn't as bad as he looked. He knew how to endure and keep a low profile. He was also a rare talent.
Of course, that was all. In the Third Prince's heart, only his Eldest Brother was his opponent!
Second Brother was still far from that!
The two continued to talk. It seemed that they had a harmonious relationship, but those who were attentive could tell that the Third Prince was suppressing the Second Prince.
"Second Brother, with your talent, it's a waste if you don't become a cabinet minister!"
"Of all the princes, I admire Second Brother the most. He has participated in the turmoil of the imperial power and sincerely does what he should do. It's rare, rare!"
"At present, among the princes, I think the Thirteenth Prince and the Ninth Prince are good. They are rising stars with extraordinary potential!"
The Third Prince seemed to be speaking amiably, but he kept saying that the Second Prince wasn't suitable to compete for the throne. He was more suitable to be a minister. Even the Youngest Prince, who was almost thirteen years old, was more competitive than him.
The Second Prince kept smiling, but his eyes were burning with anger!
His Third Brother was too much. In the past, he would show him some respect when he saw him, but after the turmoil of the era, he was no longer the Second Brother, but a subordinate!
The Second Prince's subordinates were all secretly dissatisfied. They didn't want their master to be bullied.
"Hehe, I was born a scholar, and scholars also practice martial arts. It's just that the path of martial arts is different. Since it's the day of the moon, why don't we recite poems?"
After drinking a mouthful of wine, the Third Prince laughed.
Although martial arts were revered in this world, the path of martial arts was broad and profound. Literature could also be considered a branch of martial arts. A powerful scholar could speak eloquently and eloquently, which could crush a martial artist's heart of martial arts. It was also extremely powerful.
The Third Prince was from this lineage!
"Zuo Shaoshu, you can join us with literature. Remember, don't be too arrogant!"
The Third Prince waved his hand behind him, and a white-robed youth walked out. He had an extraordinary aura and was as handsome as jade. He had a faint smile on his face, but it was filled with contempt.
"Literature Zhuangyuan?"
Everyone sucked in a cold breath.
Zuo Shaoshu was the current generation's prodigy of the Cloud Sea Empire. Before the turmoil of the era, he participated in the Heaven Mystics Kingdom's civil officials competition and obtained the title of Literature Zhuangyuan. Together with another Martial Zhuangyuan, he represented the pride of the Heaven Mystics Kingdom's younger generation.
The Literature Zhuangyuan wasn't just a person who could recite poems. He also had decent strength. It was just that he had a different way of attacking and used literature to attack the enemy.
Zuo Shaoshu was able to become the Literature Zhuangyuan because he was well-read. He even had the eighth-grade Astral Body of Saint's Virtue. It was rumored that he had a photographic memory and could deduce thousands of things in a single breath. He even had the miracle of not sleeping for three days and three nights to deduce martial arts.
