Xu Shixing smiled when he saw the gold medal. He received it respectfully with both hands and said, "Don't worry, Your Royal Highness!"
"Go and return quickly!" Tang Ye waved his hand impatiently. "Don't worry, Your Royal Highness!"
His expression suddenly turned cold, which was the complete opposite of his masculine appearance.
Xu Shixing nodded.
He sighed to himself. Ever since Chu Li injured him, His Royal Highness seemed to have changed into a different person. His temper was getting worse and weirder, throwing a tantrum at the slightest provocation.
It was not easy to work under a prince like this.
Xu Shixing strode out.
Tang Ye glanced at the Protectors around him and waved his hand. "All of you, get out. It's not like you can do anything by standing around here!"
"Yes!" Everyone closed fist saluted and left.
They sighed helplessly. Chu Li was a top-notch master. It did not matter how many people they had. They could not be blamed. However, the prince would not think the same way. He must think that they were useless.
Fifteen minutes later, Xu Shixing strode in. "Your Royal Highness."
"If Li Xinghe doesn't come, you don't have to come back either. Why did you come back? Are my words a joke? "Tang Ye said coldly with a gloomy face." Am I crippled that my words don't matter anymore? "
"Your Royal Highness!" Xu Shixing interrupted him. "Your Royal Highness, I've asked Li Xinghe to come out of isolation. He's in his cave now. Let's go see him, but only the two of us. No one else can follow us!"
"Hmph, how arrogant!" Tang Ye sneered. "Looks like I'm not the prince but he is!"
Xu Shixing smiled helplessly. "This is the Stargazing Pavilion's territory. We should just follow the host and go see him. It's fine as long as he's willing to help us. A little impatience will spoil the great plan, right?"
Tang Ye frowned at him and scoffed. "That makes sense. Alright, let's go take a look!"
Xu Shixing secretly let out a sigh of relief and hurriedly led the way. The two of them walked up the mountain and arrived in front of a cave dwelling. Xu Shixing lightly knocked on the jade chime beside him. Amidst the clear sound, a deep and resounding voice came from inside, "Come in!"
Tang Ye sized up the cave. It was simple and unadorned. It was no different from an ordinary cave, except that it was brighter. It seemed like there was some kind of special arrangement hidden in it.
The two of them turned two corners and arrived at a spacious stone room.
The ceiling of the stone room was engraved with star maps. The stars that filled the sky dazzled the eyes. The surrounding stone walls were also engraved with star maps. The entire stone room was filled with a mysterious aura, giving people a sense of transcendence.
Xu Shixing said, "Young Master Li, this is our prince, the Third Prince."
Tang Ye sized up the handsome young man in front of him and sighed inwardly. He was indeed young. To have such a reputation at such a young age, and his cultivation of the Stargazing Art was even better than his seniors', this kind of person was not normal. There was no need to stoop to his level.
Thinking of this, he calmed down and cupped his fists. "Greetings, Young Master Li. I have a request."
"Welcome, Your Highness. Please excuse me for not going out to meet you." Li Xinghe stood up and gave a fist salute calmly. He gestured for Li Xinghe to take a seat while he sat down first. "If Your Royal Highness is here for Chu Li, I'll have to disappoint you."
"Oh?" Tang Ye smiled. "Although Chu Li is a disciple of Goddess Attraction Mountain, he's not an Enlightened Master. Is Stargazing Pavilion that afraid of him?"
"I'm not afraid." Li Xinghe shook his head. "We're not afraid of Goddess Attraction Mountain, but Chu Li is very strange. Our Stargazing Art can't see his fate and predict his every move."
"Oh?" Tang Ye frowned. "You can't predict him?"
"Yes." Li Xinghe nodded. "He's not an Enlightened Master, but he's like one. Stargazing Pavilion can't do anything to a person like him, so I can't help you, Your Royal Highness. I'm really sorry, I can't do anything even with the Emperor's gold medal."
"Alright, I won't count Chu Li then." Tang Ye nodded slowly. "I don't want to make things difficult for you. Help me count someone else then."
"We can give it a try. Please tell us, Your Royal Highness," Li Xinghe said.
Tang Ye glanced at Xu Shixing.
Xu Shixing smiled. "It's Xiao Qi. Do you know her, Young Master Li?"
"Xiao Qi …" Li Xinghe pondered and nodded slowly. "Chu Li's wife, right?"
"That's right." Xu Shixing smiled. "Young Master Li, you're really well-informed."
"Chu Li's wife is also a famous person. She's the young lady of the High Duke's Public House. She's both beautiful and talented," Li Xinghe said.
Tang Ye calmly asked, "Young Master Li, don't tell me you can't predict this too?"
He stared at Li Xinghe with bright eyes as if he was ready to attack at any time.
"Xiao Qi isn't as unpredictable as Chu Li." Li Xinghe frowned. "But she's someone close to Chu Li, so she'll be affected by him. Even if she can predict him, I'm afraid it'll be unclear."
"It's fine. I won't predict anything else. I just want to predict her whereabouts," Tang Ye said.
Li Xinghe looked at him. "Your Royal Highness, let me give you a piece of advice."
"Shut up!" Tang Ye scoffed. "Don't worry, I won't kill Xiao Qi. I'm only using her to threaten Chu Li so that he'll cripple his own martial arts!"
"That's impossible." Li Xinghe shook his head. "Chu Li isn't stupid."
"Then it's not up to him." Tang Ye sneered. "Don't worry, no one will know that you're the one who predicted her whereabouts. There are many spies in the Fu Dynasty, so it's not surprising that they accidentally saw Xiao Qi."
Li Xinghe's expression turned solemn.
He lifted his head to look at the ceiling of the stone chamber and reflected the Star Chart. He had already begun circulating the Stargazing Technique in his mind to peer into his own fate, avoid calamity, and seek fortune to see what would happen in the future.
After a while, he lowered his head to look at Tang Ye and sighed. "Please forgive me, Your Royal Highness. I'm afraid I can't help you with this."
Tang Ye's expression turned gloomy as he stared at him coldly. "If that's the case, even the gold medal won't work. Your Stargazing Pavilion is getting more and more powerful. You don't want to be a subject of the Fu Dynasty anymore, do you?"
Li Xinghe sighed. "To be honest, it's not that I'm not convinced by His Majesty's gold medal, but I can't afford to offend Chu Li. If I really let this go, my life will be in danger. I don't have His Majesty's support."
He had just seen his own fate.
With a single thought, he predicted Xiao Qi's whereabouts for Tang Ye. With that, he saw the scene of Chu Li looking for him and killing him.
In that scene, Chu Li was like a god or a demon while Li Xinghe was like a child in front of him. He had no power to resist and was killed in one blow.
It was then that he truly understood how powerful Chu Li was. He did not dare to help Tang Ye.
Tang Ye sneered. "Do you think it's too late if you don't help me now?"
Li Xinghe's expression turned ugly as he stared coldly at Tang Ye.
Tang Ye said faintly, "Once we leave the mountain, everyone will know that we've been to Stargazing Pavilion and looked for you."
"Don't you think it's too despicable, Your Royal Highness?" Li Xinghe scoffed.
He wanted to slap Tang Ye to death, but he knew the consequences of doing so, so he could only swallow his anger.
