"Respect, Third Prince!!!!!"
They finally arrived in front of the entrance to the royal palace. When they arrived, the gentle greetings of the guards sounded uninterrupted. It was the moment that the Third Prince felt best because he had finally reached his destination.
Sigh...
"Is this place the royal palace..? Looks really large. It's completely different from City Lord Lao-Ying-Ba's mansion." Zheng-Fu could not help but be shocked at the size of the royal palace. From what he saw from a distance, it looked a bit small, but when he got close, it looked really enormous.
"This is only part of the royal palace. Inside, there are many small and large palaces, including the training courtyards and important places as well," the Third Prince described this royal palace proudly.
"The important places? What kind of places are they, sir, Your Highness?" Zheng-Fu was very interested in these words, so he asked curiously and seriously.
"Tha... that... matter... um... Then I'll take you there later. Now let's go to see Brother Lu-Song-Xi first.
He's been waiting for us for a long time," the Third Prince immediately turned pale when he saw Zheng-Fu's curious face about the important places he had spoken out. So he changed the subject by telling him to hurriedly meet with the current king, Lu-Song-Xi, first.
"Alright… let's go to meet the king first. Then let's go to the important places," Zheng-Fu immediately agreed, emphasizing the Third Prince's words about the place to take him after meeting Lu-Song-Xi. Zheng-Fu's words made the Third Prince's face even paler.
Ah... ah... ah!!!
In the great hall of the Royal Palace of Blueland...
The hall was now filled with many nobles and generals who were meeting about the country. The current King, Lu-Song-Xi, sat on a throne in the middle of the room, and beside him were the young men of about twenty and eighteen.
These two young men were Grand Prince Lu-Fang-Kong and Second Prince Lu-Bei. The two princes who had the right to rule the kingdom in the future had to join in to study the way of ruling. But it seemed that the Second Prince did not pay much attention. He did not like governance, but he liked music, poetry, and painting.
This was different from the Grand Prince, who looked daring and passionately liked to fight. At just twenty years old, he had already reached the sixth cultivation level of the Nascent Soul stage. He was regarded as a genius among children his age.
"What is the situation with the battle with the tribe in the border area, Commander Yong-Xi-Gui?" Lu-Song-Xi raised his voice, asking about the battle situation that had occurred between the kingdom and the mysterious native tribes that had suddenly converged to create chaos.
"The battle situation is still tense. The tribe's troops are both fast and very familiar with the area. This has caused us to be attacked many times, sir," Commander Yong-Xi-Gui replied with a serious and firm face.
"And how about on your side, Commander Ming-Ge-Dian?"
"On my side, it is still fine, sir. Birdy Holy Fiery Heaven Country still has no movement, sir," said Commander Ming-Ge-Dian, the troop commander on the side of Birdy Holy Fiery Heaven Country, with a relaxed expression on his face, unlike Commander Yong-Xi-Gui, whose face was dark and gloomy.
"Sigh... Right now, our kingdom has a lot of incidents happening every day. I have heard that even the people who live in the outer zone sell their property to the rich and move to other places in large numbers until the people in the outer zone become almost nonexistent. If it continues like this..."
Creak!!!!!
Suddenly, the large door of the hall opened, and the Third Prince and Zheng-Fu's figures walked in. The appearance of the Third Prince caused Lu-Song-Xi, who was speaking, to stop and immediately look at them before realizing it and asking, "Third Brother, he is that child!?"
"Your Majesty, he is the child I told you about last time," the Third Prince answered Lu-Song-Xi's question politely but in a rather casual manner.
"Your Majesty, I'm Tian-Tang Zheng-Fu from In-See City, sir," Zheng-Fu paid homage and politely introduced himself. But he did not kneel at all because he did not need to kneel for anyone.
"Fatuous!!!"
"Why don't you kneel in front of my father, who is the king of this kingdom? Do you want to die? You don't recognize your own place!!!" Suddenly, the young man's voice beside Lu-Song-Xi rang up in dissatisfaction, pointing at Zheng-Fu.
Flop!!!
"Yes! Why don't you kneel in the presence of the king!? Who do you think you are, kid!!?" After the young man's voice ended, the two commanders' voices rang out in unison, except for Commander Guan-Yang-Sen, who remained silent because he knew very well who this child was and how capable he was.
Commander Guan-Yang-Sen's kept-silent action caused the groups of nobles and other officials who did not even say a word to be extremely shocked. As Commander Guan was the Grand Commander, he should have been the first to speak up, but he did not speak anything at all and sat still.
"Enough, you guys!!!"
Lu-Song-Xi immediately raised his hand to stop his son and the two commanders. He had already heard the amazing story of Zheng-Fu from his younger brother, including from Commander Guan-Yang-Sen. This caused Lu-Song-Xi to immediately raise his hand to stop them.
"I have to apologize on behalf of my people for acting so rude. And as an apology for this act, I'll have someone to take..."
"It's alright, Your Majesty. I don't pay attention to such matters. Just thoughtless people who lack the intelligence to contemplate. I don't mind, sir," Zheng-Fu denied Lu-Song-Xi's apology. However, his words contained many spears that were ready to stab the Grand Prince and two commanders who had spoken earlier.
"You!!! What do you mean by that!? If I can't teach you to realize your own limitations today, don't call me Grand Prince Lu-Fang-Kong anymore! Yaaa!!!" After saying that, Lu-Fang-Kong immediately took out his weapon from the dimensional ring and hurled himself at Zheng-Fu angrily, wishing to attack him to realize himself.
"Fang-Kong!!!"
"Grand Prince!!!"
Lu-Song-Xi, Commander Guan, and the others who thought of stopping him hurriedly spoke up. However, it was already too late as Lu-Fang-Kong's figure had already soared more than halfway. With the sixth level of Nascent Soul stage energy, he was extremely fast in the eyes of others at the lower or same level as him.
"Sigh... Why do I have to get an issue every time!?"
Zheng-Fu muttered in frustration about his destiny. Wherever he went, he had to face problems all the time, not even this time. But even if he felt tired, he would not just stand there and let the prince attack. However, with the gap of strength between Zheng-Fu and Lu-Fang-Kong, he did not need to do much; just making a slight deflecting move was able to dodge Lu-Fang-Kong's attack.
Boom!!!
"Ha ha ha!!! Remember not to be arrogant in front of ma... ma... me...!!!"
Laughter, along with a proud scolding and teaching sound, rang out after Lu-Fang-Kong attacked Zheng-Fu and thought that the latter would not survive; he would definitely die for sure. But at that moment, the young man's voice stammered as the dust and smoke disappeared, and the figure that Lu-Fang-Kong thought had been dealt with was still safe. And there were not even any scratches on his body.
The young man's expression turned into an unbelievable shock as he said, "Im... Im... Impossible... Impossible!!! Why are you still standing? Why aren't you dead!?"
It was not just the young man who was shocked. The two commanders and Lu-Song-Xi, along with the nobles inside the hall, were dazed and shocked. Lu-Song-Xi, who already had a level at the Immortal stage cultivation, still could not feel Zheng-Fu's movement just now.
"This time, for the honor of the King, I won't complain, but if there is one more time, don't say I didn't warn you. And if anyone is not satisfied, you can come in. You'll know if my words are true or not," after a few moments, Zheng-Fu spoke with a calm and cool expression. But he did not emit any power, so his words seemed extremely normal when everyone heard them.
There were only the Third Prince, Guan-Yang-Sen, and Lu-Song-Xi, who knew that Zheng-Fu was telling the truth and would actually do it if anyone thought of hurting him again. But for the young prince, it fueled his anger even more with the shame of losing to the younger boy.
The most vicious attack that he was proud of could not even scratch Zheng-Fu. Moreover, Zheng-Fu's words also showed his disregard for his importance as the Grand Prince. So, how could he not be angry and resentful?
"You cocky!!! Well... Today, if I can't kill you, I don't want to be..."
"Stop right now, Fang-Kong!!" Suddenly, a voice filled with power and imposing rang out, along with the Nascent Soul stage pressure.
"But Father... this little brat was acting disrespectfully in front of you, who is the king of this kingdom. And he also speaks in insults without being considerate of anyone. How can I not..."
"I told you to stop. Can't you hear it!? If you don't stop, Father will punish you!!!" Lu-Song-Xi said as he stood up and stared at his son furiously.
Lu-Song-Xi's actions this time made all of the nobles there puzzled as to what had happened to the king. They all turned to look at Zheng-Fu, a child who came with the Third Prince, with curious eyes and wanted to know who he was, making the king surrender like this. Even the Second Prince, who did not like this kind of thing, turned his attention and stared at Zheng-Fu.
"Yes, sir, Father," Lu-Fang-Kong gritted his teeth, giving a resentful response that his father had reprimanded him this time. He turned around and looked at Zheng-Fu with vengeful eyes, wanting to tear him to pieces and throw him to the bears to eat.
"Sigh... My son is always like this; his hot temper never changes. I must apologize on his behalf. Hope you won't be offended by him," Lu-Song-Xi sighed and apologized with a weary tone to Zheng-Fu, who was still standing calmly.
"I don't mind. I understand that teenagers these days are hot-blooded. I used to be, but now I'm healed. Since going to therapy at the Cylinder Cave, that habit has disappeared. But it's not that I will... forget it.
This chapter is over. I won't talk too much; otherwise, the readers will get angry with me."
Whoosh!!!!! (The sound of running away)
