Chapter 43: The So-called Distinguished Guests
"Hmm? Do you have a grudge against the Fourth Brother?"
As if he had noticed Ying Wuqing's sharp gaze, Prince Tai asked in surprise.
"It shouldn't really be considered a holiday, it was just a minor conflict. I didn't expect that the Fourth Prince would hold such a grudge."
Ling Chen frowned slightly. He didn't expect that Xiao Muyu was right. The Fourth Prince was indeed a petty person. He actually hated him because of what happened in Wucheng.
"Then you better be careful." Prince Tai kindly reminded him, "Our fourth prince is the most vengeful among all the princes. He might make trouble for you during this hunt."
"Thank you for reminding."
Ling Chen also found the situation a bit tricky, but there was nothing he could do. If Ying Wuqing insisted on provoking him, he could only fight back with his fists and teach him a lesson.
"This time, our opponents don't seem to be weak."
Ling Chen took a look at his opponents. It was indeed as Xiao Muyu said. These young talents from famous families and second- and third-rate sects should not be underestimated. Among them, there were no less than five young warriors who had reached the level of martial artists.
"Yes. Among the royal family, the eldest prince is the strongest. The Undefeated King Fist he practices is also a royal family secret skill. The fourth prince is next in line."
Prince Tai analyzed the situation to Ling Chen, and then his eyes looked to another place, where there were two young men who looked quite impressive.
"That's the disciple of the Fiery Blade Sect and the Golden Shark Gang. Ouyang Ming and Zhang Zhenwu are also opponents worthy of attention." Prince Tai thought without hesitation and finally looked in the direction of Xiao Muyu. "Finally, it's your fellow disciple. He is a formidable enemy."
"Um."
Ling Chen nodded. It had been some time since Xiao Muyu entered the first level of martial artist. He was not comparable to Yun Tianhe, a half-baked man. Xiao Muyu had probably reached the peak of the first level.
As for the eldest prince, he does have a bit of a strong air, and his strength is probably even stronger.
There were a lot of people on the training ground, so Ling Chen simply closed his eyes and rested in his seat. After more than an hour of excitement, there was still no sign of the hunt starting.
"The scheduled time should be approaching soon, why is there no sign of it starting yet?"
Ling Chen opened his eyes and asked in surprise.
"I heard from His Majesty that there is another distinguished guest coming today. It seems that he has not arrived yet." Prince Tai glanced in the direction of the Emperor of the Wind Kingdom and then spoke.
"Distinguished guest?"
The surprise in Ling Chen's eyes grew stronger. Who on earth could be such a person that the Emperor of Wind Country could call him a distinguished guest? His identity must be extraordinary .
Moreover, Ling Chen looked around and found that not only him, but everyone else was also getting a little impatient waiting, and it was obvious that they were dissatisfied with such a long wait.
"coming."
At this moment, Prince Tai next to him suddenly looked into the distance. Ling Chen followed Prince Tai's gaze and saw two white horses without a single strand of hair on their bodies, galloping towards him quickly, raising a cloud of dust.
"Everyone, sorry to have kept you waiting."
A very light voice echoed across the training grounds. This familiar feeling made Ling Chen look up suddenly, and a bad feeling arose in his heart.
However, when he saw the figure on the horse, he couldn't help but sigh. Man proposes, God disposes. What is coming will eventually come.
This "distinguished guest" was none other than Xu Ruoyan, whom Ling Chen thought had not come with him. Accompanying the latter was Elder Lu Meng.
Wow!
Xu Ruoyan's arrival immediately caused quite a stir in the training grounds, especially the smile she showed when she spoke, which amazed the whole audience and made many young men's eyes light up.
Ling Chen could clearly feel that the players around him were all quite excited, and the atmosphere was obviously different from before.
"This is interesting. It seems that these young people want to take advantage of this hunting opportunity to show their skills and deepen their impression in the mind of this young master Xu."
Prince Tai stroked his beard and said with a smile.
Ling Chen groaned in silence. Even he didn't know why Xu Ruoyan came here.
"Dear guests, please take your seats."
The arrival of Xu Ruoyan and Lu Meng also made the Emperor of the Wind Country come to greet them in person. After all, the former was the young master of Tianxu Palace, and today's Tianxu Palace was the largest sect in the righteous martial arts world. Even the emperor's status was far inferior to theirs.
In front of the sect, secular power is often inferior and needs to obey the power of the sect.
Just one word from the major first-class sects can decide the ownership of a country and the emperor's surname.
If it were Ling Chen's previous identity, the emperor would have been courteous to him and treated him the same as Xu Ruoyan. However, he is no longer the young master of the Shenyi Sect, so naturally he no longer receives such treatment.
But Xu Ruoyan's father Xu Feihong is different. He holds real power in Tianxu Palace. Even great masters like Lu Meng have become Xu Ruoyan's exclusive bodyguards. It is conceivable how much power Xu Feihong, the palace master, has in Tianxu Palace.
"It turns out that she is the apple of Tianxu Palace's eye."
Ying Wuqing's eyes lit up and his gaze became much hotter .
"How come fourth brother knows this Miss Xu?" The eldest prince looked a little surprised.
"We met once."
Ying Wuqing never took his eyes off Xu Ruoyan, and then his expression suddenly changed, "By the way, does this Miss Xu have an engagement with Ling Chen?"
"It seems to be the case."
The eldest prince thought about it for a moment, and then nodded.
"Damn it! I didn't expect that what this kid said was actually true!" Ying Wuqing's eyes were burning with jealousy. He originally thought that Ling Chen was talking nonsense, but he didn't expect that there was such a relationship between these two people.
Bastard, such a beautiful woman was snatched away by this bastard boy.
"But you don't have to be so angry, fourth brother." The eldest prince smiled warmly, "I heard that Miss Xu herself is very dissatisfied . The engagement between these two people has probably been cancelled long ago. Fourth brother, you are not completely without a chance."
"Yeah?"
Ying Wuqing's expression returned to normal, and he sneered, "I was wondering, how could Miss Xu, who is worth so much, be so poor as to be with such a downtrodden guy. Only a descendant of the emperor like me is worthy of Miss Xu's noble status."
Hearing this, the eldest prince just laughed it off. He glanced at Ling Chen who was not far away. If we really talk about the descendants of the emperor, Ling Chen should be more suitable for this identity than anyone else. Tianyu Supreme is the real emperor in the martial arts world. Compared with him, the emperor of a country is nothing?
