Moreover, Princess Xidie would never agree.

Most importantly, this was different from what he had discussed with the Second Prince yesterday.

He hurriedly said, "Your Highness, didn't we agree yesterday that we would let Brother Gu..."

"Zishu!"

At this moment, the Second Prince interrupted Yun Zishu impatiently, his expression slightly darkened, and said, "Sometimes, to obtain something, you must make sacrifices. I've heard about his situation. Yuan Qian has been stripped of his hereditary privileges and will surely seek crazy revenge upon entering the ancestral lands. Added to that is Lu Xin from the Seven Stars Sect. Without my protection, once he enters the ancestral lands, his fate is undoubtedly sealed."

"So, if I am to protect him, I will inevitably pay a huge price, and I may even make an enemy of the Seven Stars Sect because of it. You are aware of what the Seven Stars Sect represents behind the scenes, aren't you?"

The Second Prince continued, "After paying such a heavy price, how could I possibly help just an outsider? But if Gu Bai were to become one of us, joining under my command, then all issues would naturally disappear. Moreover, you know my attitude towards my subordinates. This is something you can be completely assured of."

"What do you think?"

The last question was directed to Gu Chen, who was confident he had the upper hand with both of them.

After all, anyone sane and not foolish would understand what to choose, given the strength of Yuan Qian and Lu Xin.

But unexpectedly, Gu Chen sighed softly, looked at Yun Zishu, and said, "Brother Yun, let's go."

"Hmm?" Upon hearing this, the Second Prince's brow furrowed, and his expression darkened.

"Don't say I didn't warn you—once you leave this door, no one in the entire Holy Brilliance Dynasty can protect you, except for me," the Second Prince's voice grew colder.

Gu Chen, however, paid him no heed and left the place with Yun Zishu.

It was only after they had exited the imperial palace that Yun Zishu finally reacted, looking apologetically at Gu Chen and said, "Brother Gu, I'm sorry. I didn't expect it to be like this."

"It's all right, Brother Yun. I know you mean well," Gu Chen replied, gently shaking his head.

At this moment, Yun Zishu's expression carried a tinge of urgency as he said, "Brother Gu, with the ancestral lands opening this time, all sorts of geniuses and demons will converge. Many of them harbor intentions toward Princess Xidie, wanting to form a strong alliance with the Holy Brilliance Dynasty. You will inevitably become a thorn in the side of these people!"

"Not to mention, Brother Gu, you have deep-seated grievances with Yuan Qian, the eldest son of King Zhenan, and Lu Xin from the Seven Stars Sect also harbors great animosity towards you. Upon entering the ancestral lands, you will unquestionably become the target of a multitude. Your situation will be extremely perilous!"

Yun Zishu, full of concern and urgency, was correct—as Gu Chen's list of open enemies and those lurking in the shadows continued to grow, including the King Zhenan's mansion and forces friendly with it, as well as the Seven Stars Sect and those connected to Lu Xin.

In addition to the geniuses and demons seeking marital ties with the Holy Brilliance Dynasty, so many adversaries might employ any number of schemes. How could Gu Chen possibly cope alone?! It's quite possible he would meet with disaster as soon as he entered, turning this opening of the ancestral lands from an opportunity into a calamity!

But at this moment, despite being fully aware of these dangers, Gu Chen remained calm and even uttered a statement that shook Yun Zishu to the core.

He spoke slowly, "It's alright, Brother Yun, I fear no challenge."

The calm words contained Gu Chen's strong confidence.

Yes, just as he said, after entering the ancestral lands, it would all be the younger generation; even if everyone joined forces against him, what did he have to fear?!
