    While Qingfeng was speaking with ck Puppy in their room, deep within the Imperial Pce, in the Pce of the Crown Prince, a young man of about twenty years of agey resting on a cushioned jade bed.


    He was covered in a swan-down duvet, made entirely from natural feathers, that glowed with a soft radiance. The bed below was constructed entirely from high-quality white jade; it nourished the bodies of those who slept on it. The wisps of spirit energy the bed emitted were beneficial for the progression of self-cultivators.


    This young man was very handsome. His skin was pale as snow, like that of a woman. His hair was long, his brows thin, but his thin lips made gave him a brooding air.


    The man wore a robe with a python pattern. The python it depicted was in fact a Four-wed Python-Dragon, indicating him as someone of importance. This was the Crown Prince of Lingyun, first in line for the seat of Emperor.


    Not far from him, there stood an average-looking guard dressed in ck. He was one of the Crown Prince’s eyes within the Imperial City, in charge of the collection of information and news.


    The guard in ck knelt on the ground. “Reporting to Your Highness, the Crown Prince.” his voice was humble, reverent. “The Third Princess had just met with a young man in the Phoenix Pce. Subsequently, the son of King Ning, the young prince, went to challenge the young man and was defeated in one blow.”


    The Crown Prince smiled faintly, not paying the matter too much attention. Then he spoke, “The young prince spends all day in merrymaking. It is quite normal that someone who doesn’t endeavor to better himself would be defeated.”


    The guard in ck continued, “Crown Prince, the young man in question is no simple character. His physical power was astonishing. Not only did he defeat the young prince, he had also withstood one strike from the Supreme Realm First Level Master, Profound Theory Cultivator.”


    The Crown Prince’s expression shifted. He sat up, a cold glint in his eyes.


    He knew that, if someone wanted to confront power of the First Level of the Supreme Realm with their physical strength, the cost of doing so would be great. This young man’s power andbat ability must be terrifying.


    The Crown Prince then asked the ck-d man about Qingfeng Li in detail. He finally arrived at the conclusion that Qingfeng Li’sbat prowess was extremely strong.


    The Crown Prince thought for a moment, then spoke to the guard in ck. “Find Qingfeng Li,” he said. “Then, have hime to the Pce of the Crown Prince. Tell him that I wish to meet with him.”


    The guard in ck nodded, then turned and left the Pce of the Crown Prince, heading elsewhere.


    In the pce of the Second Prince of Lingyun, there was an old man. He was also recounting the events at the Phoenix Pce to the Second Prince.


    The Second Prince was also a handsome young man, but he radiated brightness and vigor, without the Crown Prince’s gloom.


    When the old man finished his report, the Second Prince stood up without hesitation and walked toward the door.


    The old man furrowed his brows. “Second Prince,” he asked, “where are you going?”


    The Second Prince smiled. “I’m going to go meet this Qingfeng Li. Someone who could defeat the young prince must be interesting.”


    “Second Prince,” the old man said. “Let me go summon Qingfeng Li. Have hime here, you need not go personally.”


    But the Second Prince shook his head; he wanted to go see Qingfeng Li himself. This way, he could express his sincerity. He had a great appreciation for the strong and the gifted.


    Qingfeng Li did not know that, because of what happened at the Phoenix Pce, he had already attracted the attention of both the Crown Prince and the Second Prince of Lingyun.


    Right now, Qingfeng Li was discussing with ck Puppy about how he could see the Third Princess again. There came a knock at the door.


    Qingfeng Li frowned. Walking to the door, he reached out and opened it. He saw a ck-d guard standing outside.


    The guard was of average build. But his eyes shone brightly, exuding a fierce energy, making him a frightening sight to behold.


    Qingfeng Li nced at the guard, a tad surprised. He saw that this guard was actually a master of the Ninth Level Spirit Emperor Realm, just a hair short of the Supreme Realm. His power was even one level above Qingfeng Li.


    Of course, if they were to do battle, Qingfeng Li would certainly be able to defeat this guard with ease.


    Qingfeng Li smiled. “May I ask who you’re looking for?”


    The guard in ck frowned. “Follow me to the Pce of the Crown Prince,” he said haughtily. “The Crown Prince summons you.”


    Seeing the guard’s arrogant expression, Qingfeng Li visibly displeased. He simply replied, “I don’t have the time.”


    Not paying him any mind, Qingfeng Li closed the door in his face.


    He had no interest in the so-called Crown Prince. He knew that, like the Martial Alliance from earlier, they must be here to cajole him.


    Qingfeng Li did not intend to join any organizations just yet, not even if it was the Crown Prince who had invited him. He did not want to get involved because he would leave this country sooner orter. He needed to find Xue Lin and Ruyan Liu.


    There were a lot of people in the inn. Seeing the scene unfold, the muttered amongst themselves, shocked.


    “Who was that man just now? How important must he be to have the Crown Prince’s guard personally invite him to the Pce of the Crown Prince.”


    “Didn’t you see? That man just refused the Crown Prince’s summons. And he closed the door right in that guard’s face!”


    “This young man has quite the attitude. He has to be the toughest young man I’ve ever seen.”


    The surrounding self-cultivators murmured in discussion, pointing here and there. Their eyes were brimming with curiosity.


    Hearing the discussion of the crowd, a flicker of fury shed through the eyes of the ck-d guard standing outside the door. He was a guard of the Crown Prince, respected by many. Wherever he went, people always met him with a smile.


    He had just said that this was an invitation from the Crown Prince, the future Emperor of the Country of Lingyun. Unfortunately, this young man seemed to have no respect for them.


    The ck-d guard raised his right hand and mmed repeatedly at the door, making a string of banging sounds.


    Qingfeng Li originally didn’t intend to pay the ck-d man outside any more mind. But he kept on banging on the door, making a terrible racket. Qingfeng Li was displeased.


    Qingfeng Li looked to his side, saying, “Puppy. Go teach this guy a lesson. He’s too freaking loud.”


    ck Puppy nodded. Wagging its ck tail, it came to the door and reached out a paw, opening the door.


    “Shoo!” ck Puppy said to the ck-d guard outside the door.


    The servant’s expression darkened, his nose wrinkled up in a snarl. He hadn’t expected that this ck dog was shooing him away. This was tant disrespect.


    The ck-d servant’s face filled with rage. He raised his right hand, forming a fist from vital essence and striking toward ck Puppy’s head, intending to smash its head in.


    ck Puppy rolled its eyes, staring at the man with disdain. Then, using its demon essence, it threw its right front paw forward in a wing motion, striking straight at the ck-d man’s vital essence fist.


    With a loud crack, ck Puppy had wed the vital essence fist to shreds.
