Chapter 23 – Meet again


Third Prince’s Residence, Mu Yao looked at the intelligence on the table, his expression very serious.

Li Ziye, finally came.

Faster than he had imagined.

“Your Highness, the Crown Prince went to Li Garden, will there be trouble?”

Beside him, a servant who looked like a young boy spoke up, reminding him.

Mu Yao’s expression slightly changed upon hearing this, and he immediately stood up.

However, after a moment, Mu Yao sat back down again, his face turning grim.

It’s too late!

Now he can only hope that his foolish cousin doesn’t anger the legitimate son of the Li Family too much.

That Li Ziye is a lunatic.

He dares to even fight him, a prince, let alone the Crown Prince of the Martial Arts King.

In the end, it was his cousin’s fault. Before the Royal Family and the Li Family completely tore their faces apart, he wouldn’t make things difficult for the Li Family.

So, even if Chen Yifei was beaten in the Li Residence, it would be in vain.

If his idiot cousin wants to regain his reputation, he can only solve it himself.

In the Wang Residence, amidst the shocked gazes of everyone, Chen Yifei, in a disheveled state, ran back, his face ferocious, and barged into the study.

“Father, I want him dead, I want him dead!”

Chen Yifei looked at the man in the study, unable to contain his anger.

In the study, the Martial Arts King raised his head and looked at his legitimate son who had intruded without permission, calmly saying, “Get out!”

“Father!”

Chen Yifei said anxiously.

“Get out!”

The Martial Arts King’s gaze turned cold as he shouted.

Chen Yifei’s body trembled, only then did he notice that besides his father, there was also a woman in the room.

The woman was extremely beautiful, dressed in red, with a charming and enchanting appearance. Her lips were like vermillion, her face adorned with red flowers, and her black hair reached her waist, exuding a seductive aura.

However, when Chen Yifei saw the woman’s appearance, instead of showing infatuation, his whole body shivered in fear, and he stumbled out in panic.

Rakshasa King, Tao Yaoyao!

How did this crazy woman end up here?

Chen Yifei had a huge shadow in his heart because he didn’t recognize the identity of the Rakshasa woman. He had once flirted with her and watched helplessly as this crazy woman tore out the hearts of all his subordinates.

That bloody scene, he still couldn’t forget.

“It seems that the Crown Prince is very afraid of me.”

In the study, Tao Yaoyao looked at the embarrassed figure of the Martial Arts King’s Crown Prince and smiled lightly.

“The reputation of the Rakshasa King is known throughout the world. It’s normal for the son to be in awe.” The Martial Arts King said calmly.

This woman and he were both one of the Ten Martial Kings. Although she was a woman, no one dared to provoke her. She had a smiling face but a heart like a snake and scorpion.

“Judging from the Crown Prince’s appearance, it seems that he has suffered a lot. It seems that the legitimate son of the Li Family is not a soft-hearted person.” Tao Yaoyao smiled.

“The younger generation’s affairs, they will handle it themselves. Rakshasa King, let’s continue discussing important matters.” The Martial Arts King said in a deep voice.

“I don’t want to talk anymore. Being disturbed by my son, I have no interest. Let’s talk another day.”

Tao Yaoyao casually replied, then lazily stretched her waist, got up and walked out of the study.

The Martial Arts King watched her leaving figure, his expression becoming even more gloomy.

This Rakshasa woman really doesn’t take him seriously!

“Father.”

Outside the study, Chen Yifei saw the Rakshasa King leave and walked in again, with a face full of grievances, “You have to help your son.”

“Useless thing.”

The Martial Arts King coldly snorted, “I have told you before, don’t provoke anyone from the Li Family if there’s nothing wrong. You just don’t listen. Now that you’ve suffered a loss, you still want me to help you? Do you want me, the Martial Arts King of Great Shang, to go and make trouble for those juniors from the Li Family?”

“Father, does that mean I have to bear this loss?” Chen Yifei said anxiously.

“You solve it yourself.”

The Martial Arts King said indifferently, “You have many friends, don’t you? Now is the time to use them.”

Chen Yifei suddenly realized upon hearing this, his face showing joy, “Thank you, Father, for reminding me.”

After speaking, Chen Yifei turned around and hurriedly left the study.

The Martial Arts King looked at his son’s incompetent appearance, shook his head helplessly. If his son had half the scheming of his cousin, this matter wouldn’t be so troublesome.

Just as the Martial Arts King’s Crown Prince was about to find his friends to regain his reputation, Li Garden, shortly after Li Ziye arrived, he received the first visit from an esteemed guest.

Third Prince, Mu Yao.

Of course, for Li Ziye, the Third Prince was no longer a stranger.

Old friends.

“Why did the Third Royal Highness come in person? Originally, I planned to settle down and then visit the Third Prince’s Residence.”

In the main hall, Li Ziye and Mu Yao sat facing each other, with tea boiling on the table, emitting hot steam.

“I heard that Brother Li came to the capital city, so I came to take a look.”

Mu Yao pretended to be angry and said, “What, not welcoming?”

“How could that be.”

Li Ziye smiled apologetically and said, “The arrival of the Third Royal Highness has truly brought brilliance to Li Garden.”

Beside them, Hong Zhu picked up the brewed tea and poured hot tea for the two of them. Dressed in red, her beautiful face was reflected in the tea, exuding a charming aura.

Mu Yao glanced at the woman in front of him, a hint of astonishment flashed in his eyes, but he quickly looked away, not being rude.

This woman had an extraordinary temperament and didn’t seem like an ordinary maid.

“Hong Zhu, you can go down first. I have something to discuss with the Third Prince.”

Li Ziye spoke and instructed.

“Yes!”

Hong Zhu respectfully responded and then got up and left.

After Hong Zhu left, only the two of them remained in the main hall. Mu Yao looked at the young man in front of him and apologized, “I want to apologize to Brother Li for Chen Yifei’s actions. My cousin is impulsive and offended Miss Li. I hope Brother Li can be magnanimous and not hold it against him.”

“It’s not Your Highness’s fault, so there’s no need to apologize.”Li Ziye calmly said, “As for the Crown Prince of Xuanwu, I’m afraid it’s no longer a matter of whether I care or not.”

This matter, the Crown Prince of Xuanwu would certainly not let it go. Of course, he also didn’t want Chen Yifei to back down. Otherwise, how could he justify getting rid of that brat?

Mu Yao, having heard this, sighed softly and said, “I understand Brother Li’s meaning. When I go back, I will try to persuade Yifei not to stir up trouble anymore.”

“That would be best.”

Li Ziye smiled and said, “Alright, Your Highness has come all this way, let’s not talk about these depressing matters. Your Highness, this is my first time in the Capital of Great Shang, I wonder if you could show me around when you have some free time?”

Mu Yao was taken aback for a moment, then he smiled and said, “Why wait for another day? How about today?”

“Today?”

Li Ziye glanced outside and said, “That would be great. I’ll have to trouble Your Highness then, please!”

“Please!”

The two of them got up, gestured to each other, and walked towards the outside of the main hall.

“Young Master!”

Outside the main hall, Hong Zhu saluted and asked, “Do you want Hong Zhu to accompany you?”

“No need.”

Li Ziye shook his head and said, “You stay in the mansion and guard the Li Garden. If anyone comes to make trouble, just kick them out.”

“Yes!”

Hong Zhu respectfully replied.

Mu Yao heard their conversation and was slightly surprised. Indeed, this woman in red was no ordinary person.

The depth of the Li Family was probably deeper than they had imagined.

On the streets of the Capital, Li Ziye and Mu Yao walked side by side, admiring the bustling scenery of the Capital.

Compared to Yuzhou City, the Capital was obviously much more lively, with people coming and going, and the sounds of business everywhere.

However, not long after they started walking, the people in front of them panicked and made way for a group of people rushing over.

Seeing the newcomers, Mu Yao was stunned, and a brilliant smile appeared on Li Ziye’s face.

What a coincidence, enemies on a narrow road!

“It’s him!”

At the front of the group, Chen Yifei saw Li Ziye and angrily said, “Brothers, get him!”

“Yifei, don’t be reckless!”

Seeing this, Mu Yao’s expression darkened and he shouted.

“Cousin, stay out of this!”

With his enemy in front of him, Chen Yifei didn’t care about anything else. He responded and then shouted to his friends behind him, “Beat him up, and tonight, I’ll cover all the expenses at the Shihua Garden.”

“Haha, since the Crown Prince has spoken, we will certainly vent this anger for him.”

Behind him, a group of playboys echoed loudly, then all of them walked forward with malicious smiles on their faces.

“Kid, you’re really asking for trouble, daring to provoke our Crown Prince.”

“……”

Seeing the group of playboys in front of him, Li Ziye didn’t even feel like retorting. Why were there such brainless idiots everywhere?

“Brothers, hurry up, we’ll go for drinks after we’re done!”

Among the group of playboys, someone shouted, and then was the first to rush forward.

Then……

In the small courtyard where the Confucian Scholar resided in the Imperial Academy.

Qin E’nuo remained silent, while the elegant and old face of the scholar was filled with a hint of a smile.

“How is it?” Kong Qiu asked softly.

“I accept the loss.”

Qin E’nuo calmly said, “For the next year, I will teach at the Imperial Academy.”

“To be able to listen to the lectures of the Fairy of the Plum Blossom Sword, I believe the students of my Imperial Academy will be very happy.”

Kong Qiu smiled and said, “Do you want to bet again? Let’s bet on when Li Ziye of the Li Family will come to my Imperial Academy.”

“No bet.”

Qin E’nuo shook her head and said, “The Confucian Scholar can predict the affairs of the world. Having experienced it personally, how dare I bet with the Confucian Scholar again.”

“The Imperial Academy has been quiet for too long. It’s time to liven things up.” Kong Qiu said softly.

On the streets of the Capital!

Screams of agony rang out. In the shocked eyes of the surrounding people, all the playboys brought by Chen Yifei were knocked down, rolling on the ground in pain.

Behind them, Chen Yifei stood there, his face pale and his legs trembling. He could barely stand, but his mouth was still threatening:

“You, you’re doomed. You’ve hit the students of the Imperial Academy. The Imperial Academy won’t let you go!”

“Third Royal Highness, let’s go.”

Li Ziye didn’t pay any attention, he looked at the Third Prince beside him and said.

“Alright.”

Mu Yao sighed lightly and nodded in agreement.

As they passed by, Li Ziye paused for a moment and whispered in Chen Yifei’s ear, “Today, I’ll spare you for the sake of the Third Royal Highness. Next time, you won’t be so lucky.”

After saying that, Li Ziye continued to walk forward.

Chen Yifei shivered, his face becoming even paler.

“Brother Li, thank you!”

Mu Yao thanked him.

He knew that the reason Li Ziye didn’t take action against Chen Yifei was all because of him.

“Your Highness is too polite.”

Li Ziye smiled. He couldn’t possibly beat up his cousin in front of the Third Prince, could he? Wouldn’t that be like slapping the Third Prince in the face in public?

He and the Third Prince were brothers!

How could he possibly stab his brother in the back?

However, speaking of which, he had heard Chen Yifei mention the Imperial Academy earlier. His Fairy Master had gone there, but there was still no news.

He hoped that the Imperial Academy would really come to trouble him.

Otherwise, he really didn’t know how to sneak in and find the whereabouts of his Fairy Master.

Fairy Master, your obedient disciple misses you!
