"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."

"I'm not angry with him... if I were the prince, I would probably do the same. No one would want someone who he doesn't know at all like me to be arrogant and not bow in front of the King of the Kingdom," Zheng-Fu said with a serious look on his face and understood Lu-Fang-Kong's feelings. If it was him, he would probably do it too. Then he continued, "But I also apologize for not being able to do so.

I hold the motto of bowing my head only to my parents, teachers, and clan members that I respect." His actions made him look majestic and respectful.

"Um... Let's just stop talking about things that make the atmosphere look so sad and awkward. I think it wouldn't be a good idea to continue talking."

"Yes, I think so, but um… it seems that you guys are having an important meeting right now. Is it about a war with the tribes?" Zheng-Fu smiled in response and agreed with Lu-Song-Xi before asking about what everyone in the hall was discussing.

"Yes, Young Master Zheng-Fu. We're now discussing the issue of the current situation in the country. Our main problem right now is to fight against the indigenous peoples on the northern border adjacent to Greenland," Lu-Song-Xi nodded as he explained the issues he and the generals were discussing.

"So, I've come at the wrong time?" Zheng-Fu spoke up, raising both hands and shrugging.

"No, not at all. You came at the right time. I'm looking to consult and inquire about this current situation. If it's not a disturbance, I'd like to get some advice from Young Master. Would you, please?" Lu-Song-Xi refused and hurriedly said that he was more than pleased that he came. He also politely asked Zheng-Fu for advice.

"Advice!? From me... I think it would be inappropriate for me to give advice to you, who is the King of the Kingdom," Zheng-Fu also tentatively denied it. He thought of rejecting it since he saw the gazes of the people in the hall staring at him with strange eyes.

"Tsk!!! It's inappropriate, obviously," After Zheng-Fu's voice ended, Lu-Fang-Kong's insulted voice immediately rang out, with a disgruntled face staring at him.

*Huh! It's really annoying that teenagers these days only fuss. Seems that I've got to take some action so that you'll be able to keep your mouth shut.* Zheng-Fu looked at Fang-Kong as he tiredly thought to himself about Fang-Kong's actions.

"Fang-Kong!!!"

.......................

"Don't say that! Young Master Zheng-Fu… I know In-See City is growing so fast because Young Master has been helping," Lu-Song-Xi said with a hinted smile on his face. His words caused the various nobles and military officers of the great ranks in the hall to become dazed in shock and could not believe what they heard.

"Is he the one behind the growth of In-See City!?"

"How is it possible? What His Majesty said... Is it this child!?"

"Father… What did you just say!?" Suddenly, the Second Prince, who had sat silently looking at Zheng-Fu for a long time, finally could not stand still and stood up to ask his father.

As for Zheng-Fu, upon hearing Lu-Song-Xi's words, his face instantly became crossed. He did not expect Lu-Song-Xi to announce it to others like this. Zheng-Fu was so dissatisfied that he began to tremble slightly in anger as the psychic killing was slowly unconsciously released.

The Third Prince beside him noticed and felt the psychic killing released from Zheng-Fu. His face instantly turned white. He already knew what had happened and why Zheng-Fu released the psychic killing.

"Brother… what were you talking about just now? Young Master Zheng-Fu is the person behind In-See City's growth? I don't think it's possible. Besides, I brought him here because I wanted to talk about the elemental spirit stones. You misunderstood," the Third Prince then said, staring at Lu-Song-Xi as if wanting to let him know.

Huh...?

"But you'd said…" but suddenly, Lu-Song-Xi's gaze landed on his brother's gaze as if a signal that was known only to the two of them. Then he turned to look at the cold-eyed Zheng-Fu with a strange, profound aura emitted around him.

Gulp!!!

"Ah! That's right. I remember the wrong person? Oh... Third Brother, if you hadn't reminded me, I'd have forgotten. Since the story you told me is similar, I'd misremember.

Actually, they're different people," Lu-Song-Xi spoke loudly, acting naturally as if he had misunderstood the person.

Although it seemed unbelievable for this performance, the nobles and high-ranking officers, who did not believe it at first, already believed what Lu-Song-Xi had said, except for the Grand Prince, the Second Prince, and two commanders, who were still doubting Lu-Song-Xi's words, but they did not dare to say anything.

After Lu-Song-Xi's excuse had been said, Zheng-Fu's expression became more relaxed. The psychic killing that was released also disappeared. This made the Third Prince feel extremely relieved because if Zheng-Fu thought of taking any action, then everyone in this hall would surely die.

"As Your Majesty mentioned earlier, about the person behind In-See City, I'd like to tell you that it's definitely not me. What I came here today was just what the Third Prince said. As for any war tactics, I wouldn't be able to do them at all," Zheng-Fu said with a sad face and pretended to be ignorant.

"Hmm... I must apologize to you for saying something ignorant, not carefully considering it well. Please follow my Third Brother and wait for me in the waiting room. After the meeting is over, I will follow."

"Yes, Brother. I'll wait for you in the triple-number room," the Third Prince said with a smile. He then turned to Zheng-Fu, "Let's go, the girls are waiting... eh! The food is waiting for us." After saying that, the Third Prince immediately led Zheng-Fu out.

Creak!!!!! Bang!!!

"I already told you how it could be. How is that kid going to be the one behind In-See City's growth? It's not possible."

"Yes! I think so. But what is the matter about the elemental spiritual stone?"

"I don't know. Don't ask me!"

"Um... I'm not asking any further."

Clap! Clap! Clap!

As soon as Zheng-Fu and the Third Prince left, the voices of the nobles and high-ranking officers immediately rang out about the misunderstanding just now. Everyone thought that there was absolutely no way it was possible. But even then, the matter of the elemental spiritual stone instead made everyone interested.

But before the matter could go any further, Lu-Song-Xi's applause rang out, and he said, "If today's incident slipped to someone else who wasn't in this meeting, all of you will be severely punished... Remember, elemental spiritual stone data is extremely important. If someone else or the enemy finds out, there will definitely be a war going on," Lu-Song-Xi declared earnestly and fiercely.

"Yes, Your Majesty!!!"

"Yes, Father!"

"Well! Let's continue the meeting to finish."

The meeting in the hall then proceeded as usual because the situation in the country was extremely important. As for Zheng-Fu and the Third Prince, when they came out of the conference hall, they both walked along the two corridors, which on both sides were gardens and a lotus pond.

They passed through several mansions and palaces until the two of them arrived at a certain place before arriving at the guest mansion where Zheng-Fu had to wait for the king.

Ya!!! Ya!!! Ya!!!

"Come in again... How can this skill be able to compete with others? Even though we are female, we are not weak, so be stronger!!!"

"Yes, Princess!!!"

Ya!!! Ya!!! Ya!!!

This place was an open training courtyard, not very large but filled with a lot of tools and training equipment. In the centre of the courtyard, a group of about ten young women was practicing. And there was a beautiful young woman with a slender face, white skin, a good figure, moderately tall, and pleasant to hold. Moreover, her curves were also attractive.

"Is that…?" Zheng-Fu stopped walking and pointed at the group of young women who were practicing while asking the Third Prince with interest.

"Oh… that is the Third Princess's warrior group. As for the person standing in the middle and giving orders, she is Third Princess Lu-Ying-Ying," the Third Prince replied as he explained to Zheng-Fu who these young ladies were.

"Princess Ying-Ying!? It seems like I've heard it somewhere?" Zheng-Fu muttered suspiciously as if he had heard this name somewhere but could not remember. Then he shattered that thought and prepared to walk away, but at that moment, the shout rang out.

"Uncle Lu-San!" the girl standing in the middle of the group shouted loudly, waving her hands with a warm smile, before happily running over to the Third Prince.

"Respect, Uncle Lu-San!"

"Respect, Third Prince!!!"

When the girl ran over, she immediately greeted him politely. And the young women who ran after her also greeted the Third Prince.

"Hmm… how was the training, My Niece Ying-Ying!?" the Third Prince asked, reaching out to stroke Lu-Ying-Ying's head with a happy expression.

"It's fine, sir... Uncle came at the right time. We just started practicing a new stance for a combination attack. I want Uncle to see how it is," Lu-Ying-Ying immediately replied, along with inviting the Third Prince to take a look at their new combination of attack patterns.

"That probably won't be possible, Niece Ying-Ying. I have to take Young Master Zheng-Fu to..."

"Your Highness can go and see their practice. I don't mind. Besides, the King probably won't finish the meeting anytime soon, so if I were to sit still, I would be very bored. It would be better to watch the girls practice," Zheng-Fu immediately interjected as the Third Prince was about to reject Lu-Ying-Ying.
