“Guiming…”
After dinner, He Wanying continued her training in the courtyard, while Lin Guiming stood not far away, watching her.
At this moment, He Mu suddenly walked over.
“Hmm? Madam, what is it?”
“About what happened earlier… There won’t be any trouble, will there?” He Mu asked with some concern.
After all, that was the First Prince. She didn’t know the scale of Lin Guiming’s sect, nor did she know what status Lin Guiming held within it. If it was just a small sect, and Lin Guiming’s status there was only average, then this matter might still be a bit troublesome.
Lin Guiming smiled upon hearing this and said, “Don’t worry, Madam. Forget about a prince—even if I went to the Imperial Capital and gave that old Emperor a beating, he wouldn’t dare complain about it.”
He thought it was something serious. Bixiao Palace was one of the top ten immortal sects in the world, the most elite among them. Its territory spanned thousands of miles, with dozens of kingdoms and Imperial Dynasties under its rule, and its subjects numbered in the billions. Every year, these kingdoms and Imperial Dynasties had to pay tribute to Bixiao Palace and worshipped it as if it were divine. The so-called great sects that He Mu had in mind were merely vassals struggling to survive within Bixiao Palace’s sphere of influence.
“That’s good then…” He Mu was still a little worried in her heart, but since Lin Guiming had already said so, she didn’t ask further.
At this moment, in the Chengzhu’s manor, the group who had finally returned all wore unpleasant expressions.
Especially the Chengzhu himself—he had chipped a tooth, his mouth full of blood, his face brimming with embarrassment and awkwardness.
“Third Prince, I…” He looked at the injured young man before him, his face full of shame.
The Third Prince frowned, but didn’t lose his temper. He simply let out a long sigh and said, “You, a Muscle Training Realm cultivator, are a bit too weak…”
“I…” The Chengzhu looked innocent. To be fair, he was already at the peak of the Muscle Training Realm. He could fight any Muscle Training Realm cultivator without fear. The problem was…
“Third Prince…” He smiled bitterly and said, “Do you think that person looked like someone at the Muscle Training Realm?”
The Third Prince was stunned for a moment, then fell silent.
He had clearly thought of this as well. No matter how lacking this Yuzhou Chengzhu was, he was still a seasoned Muscle Training Realm expert. Yet he hadn’t even lasted a single move against that person. That was simply too strange.
“Are you saying… that person’s strength has reached the Bone Tempering Realm?!” The Third Prince said this, but even he found it hard to believe, shaking his head. That was the Bone Tempering Realm—the final stage of Body Refinement. His eldest brother was a peerless genius, hailed as the Imperial Dynasty’s once-in-a-century prodigy. At twenty-three, he had just barely reached the Muscle Training Realm. That young man looked even younger than him, probably not even twenty.
A twenty-year-old Bone Tempering Realm cultivator?
That was simply unbelievable…
“Your Highness, that’s the only explanation that makes sense.”
Indeed, just as the Yuzhou Chengzhu said, unless that person had reached the Bone Tempering Realm, there was no way he could have been defeated so easily.
“Your Highness, it’s not as if there have never been people who reached the Bone Tempering Realm at twenty,” the Yuzhou Chengzhu said, as if hinting at something.
“You mean…”
“Your Highness, don’t you think that person’s attitude was a bit too arrogant? If he isn’t an idiot, then he must have absolute confidence…”
“I understand.” The Third Prince waved his hand, signaling him to stop.
The answer was already obvious. How could an idiot possibly reach the Bone Tempering Realm before twenty? Clearly, that young man was from a sect.
“Looks like I still need to meet him myself…”
Knock, knock, knock—
Just then, a series of knocks sounded at the door.
“Who is it? Come in.”
“Chengzhu, Third Prince, there was a man in black who asked me to give you this letter…”
The Third Prince took the letter. As soon as he opened it, his expression changed.
