J inzhou City.
Liang Sheng politely declined the hunter’s invitation to visit his home in the mountain, and went straight back to Jinzhou City. Although when he returned the city gates were already closed, for him, sneaking into the city was not a problem at all.
It was just that Liang Sheng’s passions had surged after his breakthrough to Half-Step Innate, but now they had returned to their calmness once again. Master Xuan Kong’s appearance at the Jinshan Temple had sounded the alarm bell in his heart once more.
A small temple like Jinshan could harbor impressive talents, but there were even more powerful figures hidden throughout the world. He must not become arrogant and lose sight of himself.
However, Liang Sheng would not think less of himself either. It was just that from now on, he would have to be more careful in his actions. Afterward, he organized his emotions and went to Yichun Building.
Having broken through the Half-Step Innate today, his lifespan had surged to 800 more years, and that was worth celebrating!
It was that night when he went to Yichun Building and listened to the boasts of the young men there that he learned that Jinshan Temple’s crown prince had actually left the capital and arrived in Jinzhou City.
Only then did Liang Sheng realize why the security at the city gate of Jinzhou City had been so tight. So, that was the reason.
Considering the crown prince’s visit to Jinzhou City, there must have been some ulterior motives. But what did that have to do with him? Only someone with a brain problem would provoke such trouble.
Moreover, Prince Ping’an was named Ye, from the same lineage as the Dayan Imperial Family. The waters there might be as deep as the ocean, and getting involved would only bring trouble.
Only these young lordlings still wished to climb into the nobility, to become the fish that leapt over the Dragon’s Gate and fulfill their ambitions. However, they didn’t consider the piles of white bones beneath the gates of the nobility.
Nevertheless, the peaceful days did not come as Liang Sheng had hoped – after all, wherever there were people, there was Jianghu. Moreover, the sudden arrival of a prince of the royal palace in a small city was bound to have some purpose.
Teahouse.
Zhang Yuntai had become even more steady in demeanor, and the teahouse’s business was booming. Liang Sheng nodded in admiration at Zhang Yuntai’s success.
As expected, the Zhang family’s wealth and prominence would likely endure for at least three generations. Brother Rong truly had a good son.
However, the situation in Jinzhou City became tense. During this period, there were sporadic arrivals of martial artists from the outside, and their numbers increased.
The inns in the city were almost entirely occupied by these foreign martial artists, and as more and more martial artists entered the city, public order naturally became somewhat unstable.
For a short while, Jinzhou City was rather bleak even during the day, not as bustling as it used to be. Liang Sheng was naturally dissatisfied with this.
And all of this was rooted in Prince of Ping’an’s Mansion’s Son, Ye An. As time passed, more and more powerful figures entered Jinzhou City, and their strength only grew stronger.
Originally, Jinzhou City was left with a martial arts family, the Liang Family, which had almost lost its reputation. However, during this period, the younger generation of the Liang Family had been restrained by their family and were trying their best not to conflict with these foreign martial artists.
But martial artists were inherently competitive, seeking to prove their strength and fierceness. The county jail had already detained no fewer than twenty foreign martial artists, and several had even died.
At this moment, Liang Sheng was squinting his eyes while pondering in his heart. It seemed that rumors might not be groundless after all. If the rumors were true, he could observe from a distance.
If there was no danger…
Thinking of this, Liang Sheng made up his mind. He would wait and see how the situation unfolded before making a decision!
Jinshan Temple.
“Damn it!”
At this moment, Ye An was so angry that he slammed the tea bowl in his hand onto the ground. “Who leaked the news? Who is spreading rumors in the city?
Captain Wu, are the Dragon Suppression Guards, as the state’s weapon, really becoming so unreliable? Can’t you even keep a lid on things?”
Wu Gang immediately knelt on one knee, filled with both awe and fear. “Your Highness, please calm your anger. It’s all due to my inefficiency in handling matters.
However, this rumor has spread throughout the entire Southwest State, and I’m afraid that more and more martial artists will gather in Jinzhou City in the future.
Your Highness, at this moment, it’s best for you to set out for the capital as soon as possible. 1 believe these martial artists would not dare to make a move recklessly.”
“Return to the capital?”
Ye An looked deeply at Wu Gang upon hearing this, his anger immediately dissipated, and he relaxed his tone, “1 have my own plans for this matter. Captain Wu, it would be better for you to investigate who leaked the information and spread the rumor.”
“Yes.”
After Wu Gang left, Ye An sat down and began to ponder, while a shadow appeared in the corner of the room. Ye An seemed unconcerned.
“Yin San, have you found the mole?”
“Your Highness, I haven’t found the mole yet. This person is hiding extremely well, leaving no trace at all.”
“What a great skill, I didn’t expect that my aunt, even far away in the capital, could still cause me trouble. Quite impressive.
However, when did she manage to plant a mole among the personal guards handpicked by my mother? The thought of this makes me shiver in fear and lose sleep.”
Saying this, Ye An’s fingers clenched until they turned white. How else could he have come all the way to Jinzhou City to win over Jinshan Temple if it wasn’t for this reason?
“Yin San, although my mother can still hold on for a while, we must hurry nonetheless, otherwise, things will change.
Now that the rumors in the city have already spread, there’s no need for us to hide anymore. I will meet Master immediately, initially planning to establish a relationship with them first, and then discuss other matters. Time is running out, and I’m afraid there’s no more room for delay.”
This time, Yin San didn’t say anything, and Ye An didn’t care about him either. He got up and headed straight to the door. Yin San immediately followed, appearing inconspicuous.
In recent days, Xuan Nan had gradually gotten used to Ye An’s presence in Jinshan Temple. So, when he heard the report of Ye An coming to pay his respects, he hurried out.
“There’s no need for Your Highness to personally visit me. You just need to give the order, and this old monk will come. Why bother coming yourself?”
Ye An laughed heartily upon hearing this, and after greeting and sitting down, he cut straight to the chase this time.
“Chief Master, 1 am originally a novice monk from this temple. Later, by a fortunate coincidence, I entered the capital, and it has been thirteen years since 1 parted ways with you last. But my admiration for you has never changed.”
Xuan Nan didn’t say anything upon hearing this. Seeing that he was unmoved, Ye An didn’t get angry and decided to be straightforward.
“Chief Master, 1 won’t beat around the bush any longer. Actually, 1 left the capital this time to avoid misfortune and seek your protection.”
“Your Highness must be joking. The world is so vast under heaven, who could oppress you?”
At this moment, Ye An became somewhat agitated, “Some problems have arisen within my mother’s family, and my aunt will certainly not let this opportunity slip away.
She has long considered me a thorn in her side, and this time, she wants to put me in mortal danger and make my younger brother the sole heir to the mansion.”
Upon hearing this, Xuan Nan’s face turned bitter. He had previously noticed that Ye An was no longer a simple-minded little novice monk, but rather a deep-minded prince from a royal family.
However, he did not expect that this time Ye An would reveal such significant secrets to him, and there was no benefit in knowing them.
How could he meddle in the affairs of the royal family?
Not to mention the royal family’s struggle for inheritance?
That can only be described as a bloody storm!
However, the moment he heard those three words from Ye An’s mouth, Xuan Nan’s heart started pounding wildly, and his face was filled with disbelief, while his heart was overwhelmed with excitement.
