Chapter 110: Chapter 110: The Worried Long Chen

No one saw how Shi Feng appeared in front of his companion, as if he had suddenly materialized.

Shi Feng flicked his right hand, tossing the golden-armored guard in his hand into the distance, then looked toward the three people on the steps ahead and said, "Come at me all at once."

"What’s going on? Why is it so chaotic outside?" Just then, the golden door carved with a Golden Dragon pattern suddenly opened, and a burly figure stepped out.

"Young Master Feng, it’s you!" As soon as the burly figure opened the door and saw Shi Feng not far away, his eyes widened, and he immediately showed a delighted expression.

This person was none other than Zhang Hu, who had entered the ruins outside Moon City with Shi Feng.

Just as Zhang Hu had taken a few steps toward Shi Feng, he suddenly realized that something was amiss, especially when he saw someone lying not far away, and he quickly asked a golden-armored guard beside him, "Song Xu, what exactly happened here?"

"Commander Zhang... I’m sorry, we didn’t know he was your friend," the golden-armored guard named Song Xu replied.

"Hmph! My friend!" Zhang Hu snorted and glanced over the few people, then said, "Young Master Feng, he is a distinguished guest of His Highness! If His Highness finds out about this, he will skin you alive!"

"Ah!" The three golden-armored guards were suddenly startled and quickly knelt on one knee before Zhang Hu, pleading, "Please spare us, Commander Zhang."

"Pleading with me is useless, the decision to spare you is up to Young Master Feng and His Highness," Zhang Hu said, looking at Shi Feng.

"We beg Young Master Feng to forgive us for failing to recognize your greatness!" The three immediately turned to Shi Feng, bowing their heads earnestly and begging for mercy.

"Alright, alright." Shi Feng waved his hand impatiently at them, then walked up to Zhang Hu and said, "Take me to see Long Chen."

"His Highness once said that if Young Master Feng visits, we must inform him immediately, as he wants to personally welcome you," Zhang Hu revealed.

Hearing this, the other golden-armored guards were suddenly startled, cold sweat starting to form on their bodies. They then remembered their master... their master indeed had said something like this to them, but... but who would have known that the distinguished guest was him? Although it was mentioned "Young Master Feng," how could they have known that he was the "Young Master Feng!"

So young, with Martial Arts Cultivation appearing to be only at the Three-star Warrior Realm...

"It’s fine, no need for such trouble; just take me directly to meet him," Shi Feng told Zhang Hu.

"Since Young Master Feng has said so, please, this way," Zhang Hu extended his hand, making a gesture of invitation to Shi Feng.

Shi Feng nodded, and just as he was about to enter, he suddenly remembered something and turned to ask Song Xu, the golden-armored guard, "Was there a woman in white clothes here, holding Long Chen’s Token?"

"No... There wasn’t," Song Xu replied very cautiously.

"Alright, I understand." Shi Feng nodded, guessing that the woman was probably still at home preparing and hadn’t arrived yet. He then instructed Song Xu and the others, "If a woman in white clothes holding Long Chen’s Token arrives later, you must not trouble her and must arrange a nice place for her to stay in the residence."

"Yes!" the three golden-armored guards responded.

"Let’s go."

After Shi Feng spoke to Zhang Hu, a few Golden-armored Guards saw the youth called "Young Master Feng" entering the mansion with Zhang Hu following close behind him.

Immediately after the two disappeared, the three Golden-armored Guards finally relaxed their tense nerves and breathed a sigh of relief in secret. Song Xu said, "That was really close this time!"

The other two, their expressions solemn, nodded in agreement. Then the three of them approached the man who Shi Feng had left on the ground, passed out unconscious.

Inside the luxuriously decorated living room of Prince Chenn’s Mansion, Long Chen, dressed in a purple robe, sat on a mahogany chair at the head of the room, holding a teacup in his hand. As he lightly opened the lid, a light fragrance wafted from the tea.

At this moment, Long Chen looked decidedly different from his previous dashing demeanor in Moon City; his face was etched with an undeniable worry. Although he held a teacup, he hadn’t yet brought it to his lips to taste the tea, clearly showing his mind wasn’t on the tea—perhaps he had even forgotten the cup in his hand.

"Your Highness, guess who has come!"

Just then, a boisterous shout came from outside the door, interrupting Long Chen’s thoughts and pulling him back to reality.

The abrupt interruption left Long Chen displeased, and he scolded, "What’s with all the shouting! You’ve been in the Royal Residence for so many years, yet you still lack manners."

Following the direction of the voice, Long Chen’s gaze slowly moved back, and just then, he suddenly saw a young figure appearing at the entrance of the living room.

"Ah! Young Master Feng, it’s you! You’ve finally come." Upon seeing Shi Feng, Long Chen hurriedly stood up from his chair and went to greet him.

Then, looking at Zhang Hu behind Shi Feng, Long Chen scolded with displeasure, "What’s going on? Haven’t I told you that when Young Master Feng visits our home, you need to inform me immediately so I can greet him personally?"

Shi Feng waved his hand toward Long Chen and said, "It’s alright, don’t blame him. I thought it would be too troublesome and just asked him to bring me to see you directly."

At this time, Long Chen, looking at Shi Feng, said with a face full of guilt, "Young Master Feng, I presume you are already aware of Ling’er’s situation. I—"

"It’s alright, no need for so much fuss," Shi Feng interrupted him quickly and said, "The one who took Ling’er is a Martial Sect Realm expert; it’s not your fault. One day, I will personally bring Ling’er back."

"Sigh, our Yunlai Empire is just an Affiliated Country of the Heavenly Mist Empire. Floating Void Sect is the leading Sect of the Heavenly Mist Empire, and it houses several Martial Sect experts. Before we have sufficient strength, I hope, Young Master Feng, that you will not act rashly," Long Chen said.

"I understand," replied Shi Feng. "What’s wrong with you? You seem much older than before."

"Older, you say?" Long Chen, upon hearing Shi Feng’s words, unconsciously touched his face and said with a bitter smile, "Perhaps, I’ve had too many worries recently."

"Is it because of the Imperial Throne?" asked Shi Feng.

"Actually, the struggle for the Imperial Throne is just for self-preservation," Long Chen said. "Being born into the Emperor’s family is a kind of helplessness. It’s either a brother kills another, or we perish ourselves. If the day comes when my Father Emperor passes, and the throne is succeeded by one of us princes, a great war will erupt; the victor will finally be the king, and the loser will have no burial. My current worry is that I have received word that my Father Emperor intends to pass the throne to me."

"The throne to you? To inherit the throne, while legitimate, turns you into a target! Your restless brothers will first join forces to attack you—your father is clearly setting you up to die first," Shi Feng said.
