Wei Xin walked at the front and headed towards the palace gates. The palace guards guarding the palace gates also noticed their presence. Their sharp gazes shot towards Wei Xin and Yun Fan.
"The palace is a restricted area. Do not trespass. Kill all intruders!"
Seeing Wei Xin and the others slowly approaching, one of the palace guards held the sword at his waist and coldly shouted.
Wei Xin hurriedly stopped ten feet away from the guard and cupped his fists. "Big brother, I am Wei Xin, the eldest grandson of the Wei family in Barren Cloud City. These are my two friends. They have come with me to visit the third prince, Ling Xing."
"You are here to visit the third prince?"
The square-faced guard looked Wei Xin up and down with disdain. He did not care about the identity of the eldest grandson of the Wei family in Barren Cloud City.
"Do you think the third prince is someone you can visit just because you want to?"
The square-faced guard asked coldly.
"Big brother, I am a friend of the third prince. Please make an exception."
Wei Xin did not give up. His purpose here was to see the third prince. Now that the selection for the next young master of the Wei family was about to begin, although he was the eldest grandson, he did not have an absolute advantage among the younger generation of the family. At the very least, he had a strong competitor in his second brother, Wei Lang.
His second brother, Wei Lang, was younger than him, but his cultivation wasn't any lower than his. Instead, it was faintly suppressing him. Moreover, he was extremely shrewd. Many elders in the family had high hopes for Wei Lang and believed that he was the best candidate for the next Patriarch!
Therefore, he had to see the third prince this time. As long as he had the third prince's support, he would definitely be able to stand out after the selection!
"Do you have the third prince's keepsake?"
Hearing this, the guard's expression turned grave. If the other party was really a friend of the Third Prince, Ling Xing, and he kept obstructing them, the Third Prince, who liked to make friends, would definitely punish him. Thus, he did not dare to be negligent in the slightest.
"What, what keepsake? I … I don't have it. "
Wei Xin was stunned and could not help but mutter. He did not know why the other party would ask this.
"Hmph, you don't have the third prince's keepsake and you still dare to say that you are the third prince's friend?"
The square-faced guard sneered, his face full of disdain.
He naturally knew that if the Third Prince sincerely wanted to make friends with someone, he would definitely leave a token of his own. If Wei Xin really had the Third Prince Ling Xing's token, then they wouldn't dare to stop him. But now that Wei Xin didn't, his attitude instantly changed.
"Scram! If you dare to claim to be the Third Prince's friend again, I'll cut your head off! I don't care if you're the eldest grandson of the Wei Clan, or even if you're a relative of the Imperial Family, trespassing into the Imperial Palace is a capital offense!"
The square-faced guard shouted. He had already unsheathed half of the sword at his waist, which was shining brightly.
Sensing the other party's killing intent, Wei Xin's face instantly turned pale, and he unconsciously took a step back.
Seeing this, Xiao Li no longer looked at Wei Xin with the same fervor as before. She didn't expect Wei Xin to be bragging. The latter wasn't the Third Prince's friend at all.
She had specially followed Wei Xin this time to obtain resources from Wei Xin. The main reason was that she had heard Wei Xin say that he was friends with the Third Prince. She wanted to get close to Wei Xin and befriend the Third Prince. When the time came, she could seduce the Third Prince. As long as she climbed into the Third Prince's bed, what glory and wealth could she not obtain in the future?
Now that her hopes had been dashed, Wei Xin no longer had any value to be used.
Thinking of this, Xiao Li sneered, "Young Master Wei, I think we should go back. We can't enter by standing here. If she knows that you're so useless, she won't follow you!"
Wei Xin's face was also dark and uncertain. He felt that his face had been greatly damaged.
Just as Wei Xin was at his wit's end and was about to dejectedly leave, the figure of a youth slowly walked out from behind him. It was Yun Fan.
Yun Fan said indifferently, "I'm a friend of your Third Prince Ling Xing. Make way and let us in."
"What did you say?"
Wei Xin immediately came back to his senses. "You said you're a friend of the Third Prince?"
"Yes." Yun Fan nodded slightly, his expression unchanged.
"Hahaha, what a joke. You're a country bumpkin. You actually said you know the Third Prince. How laughable!"
Xiao Li held her stomach and laughed as if she had heard the funniest joke in the world.
"Yun Fan, don't talk nonsense. This is the forbidden area of the palace. If you anger these palace guards, they will really kill you."
Wei Xin's face also darkened. This Yun Fan actually dared to act pretentious here. He didn't even take a look at where he was!
"I really do know the Third Prince Ling Xing."
Yun Fan looked at Wei Xin and explained in an indifferent tone.
Although this Wei Xin was a bit arrogant, his nature wasn't bad. Since he was also here to look for the Third Prince, he was happy to help him.
"Hahaha, this country bumpkin really thinks he's a big shot. He used an elixir to coincidentally solve the problem of Yunxuan Pavilion and came to the palace to show off. He's really stupid."
Xiao Li continued to laugh. She then looked at the square-faced guard and said, "Big brother officer, don't bother with him. He is a complete idiot. Why don't you stab him to death with your sword? Just looking at him makes me sick."
The square-faced guard also looked at Xiang Yun Fan with an unfriendly gaze. The latter's clothes were ordinary, and Wei Xin was a hundred times better than him. How could the Third Prince be friends with someone like him?
Thinking of this, the square-faced guard shouted, "Get out of my way, or I'll kill you without mercy!"
As he spoke, he focused all his killing intent on Yun Fan.
Behind him, the rest of the guards also focused their gazes on Yun Fan.
In an instant, more than a dozen palace guards released their killing intent at the same time, instantly enveloping Yun Fan.
These palace guards were all elite cultivators who had climbed out from piles of corpses. When these people released their killing intent at the same time, even a peak Martial Emperor expert would tremble in fear and not dare to move.
However, under this seemingly unleashed killing intent, a cold glint flashed across Yun Fan's eyes as he coldly said, "You actually dare to attack this young master with just this little bit of killing intent?"
As soon as Yun Fan's voice fell, the dozen palace guards suddenly froze and their faces turned pale.
The square-faced guard, who was the leader, looked at Yun Fan in disbelief. Cold sweat flowed down from his forehead. In that instant earlier, they felt that the person they were facing was not a human, but an ancient ferocious beast that was comparable in size to the entire continent. That pair of icy cold eyes caused even him, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, to tremble with fear.
Under everyone's shocked gaze, Yun Fan stood with his hands behind his back and said indifferently, "If it weren't for the Third Prince, your souls would have been scattered by now!"
