When the King of Yao City learned that Ye Chu had returned, and moreover that Ye Chu had repelled a Xuanhua realm expert with a single strike, he hosted a banquet to invite Ye Chu and Ye Tian.
Ye Chu did not refuse, and took Liang Shan with him to attend the banquet, but to Ye Chu’s surprise, he did not see Su Rong.
At this time, Liang Shan leaned over and whispered in Ye Chu’s ear, “Ah, what a pity about that beauty Su Rong. I thought you two might end up together.”
Ye Chu could not be bothered to pay attention to this scoundrel, who was on par with Pang Shao. After staying in Yao City for a few days, Ye Chu did not linger and prepared to leave with Liang Shan.
As Ye Chu was leaving Yao City, Zhang Su’er suddenly ran up to him, threw a letter at him, and then snorted, “Do you think you are so great just because you have some strength? Hmph, we do not care about you at all!”
Having said that, she walked away in a huff.
Zhang Su’er’s behaviour left Ye Chu dumbfounded. He thought to himself that he had not offended her this time. This woman must be sick, it was completely baffling.
Ye Chu smiled bitterly, then looked at the letter in his hand. After opening it, he saw the neat handwriting and recognised it as Su Rong’s letter at a glance.
There was only one sentence on it, “Have a safe journey!”
Liang Shan took it, looked at the letter, and then muttered, “Zhang Su’er delivered such a letter? Women are truly sick. Wait, no, why are there marks on this letter paper? It looks like tear stains.”
When Liang Shan said this, he stared wide eyed at Ye Chu, “Damn it, Su Rong was crying when she wrote this. She definitely has feelings for you.”
Ye Chu could not be bothered to respond to Liang Shan and just glanced at the letter paper. There were indeed some marks on it, but Ye Chu could not tell that they were tear stains.
“Let us go, to the Imperial Capital. You have reached the Origin Spirit realm, which is not too bad.” Ye Chu smiled. Liang Shan had watched the battle between Emperors and had indeed used this opportunity to break through to the Origin Spirit realm.
“Hehe, it would be great if I could advance a step further. Only by reaching the King realm will I not be mocked by Huang Lin and the others. You do not know, Huang Lin is about to step into the King realm. After not seeing her for so long, I am afraid she has already reached the King realm.” When Liang Shan said this, his expression immediately dimmed.
This made Ye Chu laugh. He had not expected this boy to have feelings for Huang Lin. However, that little witch Huang Lin had high standards, and she would definitely not look at Liang Shan. This guy liking Huang Lin was just asking for trouble. Still, it was fine. Suffering more setbacks would always help him grow faster.
…
It did not take Ye Chu much time to travel to the Imperial Capital. After all, with his strength, even bringing Liang Shan along, he was much faster than before. When Ye Chu arrived at the Imperial Capital and saw the words about Ye Chu abandoning his wife and child still remaining on the old city wall, the corners of his mouth curled up into a smile. The days he spent with Qing Wenting and Pang Shao back then were indeed happy.
…
Pang Shao and his group had lived exceptionally happily in recent years. With his greatly improved strength, he occasionally taught a lesson to those who had despised them in the past.
Of course, the only thing that made them unhappy was that the Emperor’s Seventh Prince was always opposing them. Unfortunately, the Seventh Prince had extraordinary strength, reaching the level of an upper grade Emperor, and he possessed a Sun and Moon artifact in his hand. Whenever Pang Shao encountered him, he had to avoid his sharp edge.
If there was one thing that felt suffocating, it was this. In the Imperial Capital, Pang Shao often cursed the Seventh Prince. Yet, the man was living perfectly well, and his strength was growing stronger and stronger.
Huang Lin and the group of rich idlers were also particularly displeased. They had discussed many times about dealing with the Seventh Prince, but every attempt ended in failure.
This time was the same. The group set a trap to besiege the Seventh Prince, but the other party found out in advance. Instead, the other party brought a massive group of people and besieged them.
Standing at the front, the Seventh Prince looked at Pang Shao with a smile, his eyes full of mockery, “Young Master Pang Shao, it seems you will have to be carried out on a stretcher again this time.”
Pang Shao looked at the people the Seventh Prince had brought, and then looked at the group beside him. His face was extremely gloomy, “Hmph, if you were not a prince and had not been bestowed with a Sun and Moon artifact, we would have dealt with you long ago!”
The Seventh Prince laughed loudly, “Even without a Sun and Moon artifact, you are no match for me. However, your Pang family has quite a few Sun and Moon artifacts. Why not bring one to fight against me?”
Hearing this, Pang Shao’s face grew even uglier. It was true that his family did have Sun and Moon artifacts, but his grandfather had said that he must not rely on external objects and must temper himself. Therefore, he simply could not get a Sun and Moon artifact.
“Seventh Prince, we admit that we have fallen into your hands this time, but do not get too smug too early.” Huang Lin stepped forward and shouted at this moment.
The Seventh Prince’s gaze swept over Huang Lin. Huang Lin had grown more and more beautiful in recent years. At this moment, she was wearing a short skirt. As she walked, the short skirt fluttered, and those tender, white, and long legs were extremely captivating, making everyone who looked at them unable to help but have their blood pressure rise.
Huang Lin was growing more and more attractive, it was truly hard to imagine she was that little girl from before.
“Huang Lin, it is very simple for us to let you go. How about you accompany me to meet some friends tonight?” The Seventh Prince looked at Huang Lin with a smile, the corners of his mouth full of wickedness.
“Keep dreaming!” Before Huang Lin could speak, Pang Shao and the other men shouted, “What kind of thing are you to deserve our Huang Lin accompanying you!”
Huang Lin was the little princess among them, how could they let these people insult her. At worst, they would just get beaten up, they were used to it anyway. They reckoned the Seventh Prince would not dare to be too ruthless, after all, the Pang family was not to be trifled with.
He was just a prince, everyone present had some status. If he really used heavy hands and the matter reached the Emperor, the Seventh Prince would not have an easy time either.
“Hmph! In that case, do not blame me for being impolite. If you do not behave, do not blame me for beating you every time I see you in the future.” The Seventh Prince looked at Pang Shao and the others coldly.
“Enjoy your smugness. When Her Highness the Saintess and Ye Chu return, let us see what you have to be smug about.” Huang Lin glared with her beautiful eyes.
The Seventh Prince laughed loudly, “What kind of status does Her Highness the Saintess have, how could she walk with you. As for this Ye Chu you mentioned, I am sorry I do not know him, but even if I did, so what. I do not put him in my eyes.”
“You…” Huang Lin was so angry that she grabbed a stone nearby and threw it fiercely.
“Haha, Huang Lin, I just love your temper. How about it, if you accompany me, your companions will not have to be beaten today.” The Seventh Prince looked at Huang Lin with a smile.
Huang Lin snorted, “Keep dreaming. Beat us if you want, whatever you do today, we will return it in the future.”
“Return it? Relying on that so called Ye Chu you mentioned? I really do not believe it. Since you insist, I will teach you a proper lesson. In the future, when that guy named Ye Chu arrives, I will deal with him too.”
As he spoke, he looked at Huang Lin with a smile, his lecherous intentions fully exposed.
Just as Pang Shao and the others gritted their teeth and prepared to fight them, a familiar voice rang in their ears, which made Huang Lin and the others unable to believe it.
“Hehe, is that so? I am right here, and I actually hope you beat me up fiercely, I am just afraid you do not have the ability!”
