Chapter 131: Chapter 131: The Young Master Takes Vengeance for You

"Haha." After Shi Feng and the others had entered the side room, Long Xing was the last to step inside. He burst into laughter and said to the young man in white, "Your Highness, allow me to introduce—this is my fourth brother Long Chen, my sixth sister Long Meng, and this one here, our Yunlai Empire’s newly emerged young genius, Shi Feng."

"Oh? Shi Feng." The young man in white showed a bit of interest upon hearing the name Shi Feng, saying, "The one we’ve been hearing about these past few days, the one who killed a Four-star Martial Sovereign, is it him?"

"Indeed, it’s him!" Long Xing nodded.

"Hmm." The young man in white nodded and said, "In your small Yunlai Empire, to have killed a Four-star Martial Sovereign indeed qualifies one to be called a genius."

"You all, pay your respects to Jin Rui Crown Prince at once," Long Xing instructed Long Chen and the others.

Upon hearing this, Long Chen’s face changed with shock, and he promptly cupped his fists and bowed deeply to the young man in white, saying, "Long Chen pays his respects to Your Highness the Crown Prince." Long Chen had long heard of the name Jin Rui, the Crown Prince of the Heavenly Mist Empire, and since the Yunlai Empire was merely an affiliated country to the Heavenly Mist Empire, Jin Rui’s status was naturally far above their own.

Moreover, unlike the Yunlai Empire, the Heavenly Mist Empire had many children, yet Jin Rui had been established as the Crown Prince and the future Emperor of the Heavenly Mist Empire.

Soon after, Long Meng also bowed deeply and cupped her fists, saying, "Long Meng pays her respects to Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Only Shi Feng remained unmoved, his expression indifferent, standing still. This Tianheng Continent had yet to produce anyone before whom he would bow.

Jin Rui’s eyebrows slightly furrowed upon noticing Shi Feng’s behavior. Afterward, he waved his hand to the group and said, "There is no need for such mundane rituals since this Crown Prince is traveling incognito. Let’s all sit down together."

"Yes, thank you, Your Highness!" The Long siblings chorused, and then they moved to the table to take their seats in order. Shi Feng also walked up and sat down by the table.

After Jin Rui had finished his tea, Long Xing quickly stood up and personally refilled his cup, then slowly retook his seat.

Lifting the small cup filled with tea, Jin Rui brought it to his nose and sniffed, then told Long Xing, "During this excursion with your accompaniment, I’ve truly enjoyed myself, Long Xing. When you someday ascend to the throne of the Yunlai Empire, should this Crown Prince come back to the Yunlai Empire, I will personally congratulate you. At that moment, you better entertain me well, and don’t be preoccupied with state affairs, leaving me aside because you’ve become the Emperor."

Long Xing shook his head with a smile, "Where would I dare, Your Highness? Regardless of when Your Highness visits the Yunlai Empire, you will always be my most honored guest, and I will receive Your Highness at the earliest opportunity."

Jin Rui nodded in satisfaction and said, "Long Xing, I am someone who keeps the kindness of others in my heart, and I can sense your loyalty to me. Should you face any treacherous courtiers or rebels while ascending to the throne, this Crown Prince will definitely lead troops to assist you."

"Long Xing thanks Your Highness. If Long Xing is fortunate enough to ascend to the throne, our Yunlai Empire will be loyal to the Heavenly Mist Empire and Your Highness generation after generation," Long Xing said reverentially, bowing with his fists clenched towards Jin Rui.

"This Crown Prince has already mentioned your ascension to the throne, who else could object? Even your father Long Ao has to heed this Crown Prince’s words," said Jin Rui, and then he raised his voice to Long Chen, "Long Chen, don’t you agree? When your elder brother ascends to the throne, you must support him well, without harboring any disloyalty."

Listening to their conversation for so long, Long Chen naturally understood these words were intended for him, especially Jin Rui’s, which served as a warning. Long Chen also clenched his fists and reverently said to Jin Rui, "If the day truly comes that my elder brother ascends the grand throne, Long Chen will not harbor any disloyalty and will support him wholeheartedly."

"If?" Jin Rui repeated the word "if" Long Chen had just uttered, and his expression gradually became colder as he said displeasedly, "Are you suggesting that there could be an ’if’ in regards to this Crown Prince’s intentions for Long Xing’s ascension?"

"Long Chen would not dare," Long Chen quickly replied.

"Hmph, you’d better not dare," Jin Rui said with a hint in his tone, followed by, "Alright, all of you may leave. The Crown Prince and Long Xing have more to discuss."

"Long Chen takes his leave."

"Long Meng takes his leave."

Afterward, Shi Feng and his two companions made their way out of the side room. As soon as they left the side room, Shi Feng saw Long Chen with a sullen face. They slowly descended the stairs and exited the tea house.

"Alright, don’t keep frowning like that, as though your old man has died," Shi Feng said to Long Chen.

"Alas," Long Chen sighed heavily, "I thought the situation was getting better, but then Jin Rui sprang up out of nowhere."

"Have someone keep a close eye on him," Shi Feng said. "Tonight, I’ll take care of him for you."

"Take care of him?" Long Chen was startled by Shi Feng’s words, "Young Master Feng, he has protectors around him. That person standing behind him, although he seems ordinary, if I’m not mistaken, is his personal guard Wu Xiaoyun, rumored to be at the Five-star Martial Sovereign Level. Can you really handle a Five-star Martial Sovereign?"

Once one entered the Martial King Realm, each star difference was like heaven and earth. Although Shi Feng was able to kill Four-star Realm’s Feng Luohan, a Five-star Martial Sovereign was on a completely different level than a Four-star Martial Sovereign.

"It’s indeed difficult to confront a Five-star Martial Sovereign," Shi Feng said. "But I have a way with that person. Just wait, you’ll soon have a Five-star Martial Sovereign Realm fighter on your side."

"A Five-star Martial Sovereign Realm fighter! You mean to say, you want to subdue Wu Xiaoyun!" Hearing Shi Feng’s words, Long Chen’s face showed even greater shock.

"Alright, no more questions. I have my methods! Just do as I asked. Since this is the Imperial City, it shouldn’t be difficult for you to find out where this Crown Prince stays at night, right?" Shi Feng asked.

"That’s certainly no problem," Long Chen said. "Although he’s followed by a Five-star Martial Sovereign Expert, I have my ways."

Shi Feng nodded and said, "Good! Then tonight, let me know his whereabouts, and I’ll settle the score for you. If you wish, I could even kill this so-called Crown Prince."

"That must absolutely not be done!" Long Chen quickly waved his hands and said, "He is the Crown Prince of the Heavenly Mist Empire, the future Emperor. If something happens to him in our Yunlai Empire, we will certainly bear the wrath of the Heavenly Mist Empire, an existence our Yunlai Empire cannot contend with."

Just thinking about the Heavenly Mist Empire’s army sweeping down was enough for Long Chen to foresee the annihilation of the Yunlai Empire.

"Alright then, I’ll just give him a good beating. That should suffice," said Shi Feng.

"That... that should be okay," Long Chen said with a hesitant expression which, after a moment of careful thought, turned into a smile. "That should be fine! The Crown Prince Jin Rui being beaten up in accommodations arranged by Long Xing, I think that will be quite a spectacle indeed."
