Chapter 113: The first clash between two Sons of Luck!

At that time, Zou Yi was beaten silly; he hadn't been this arrogant even in Western Liang.

Then this arrogant man who claimed to be the Crown Wang Wang Shizi of the Wang Wang Shizi of Zhennan was taken away by a female official.

This shocked Zou Yi again.

What?

The Crown Wang Wang Shizi of the Wang Wang Shizi of Zhennan didn't dare to resist in front of an official?

If I'm not mistaken, this is just a head constable.

The female official wanted to take Zou Yi away at the time; he explained that he had been the one being beaten all along and hadn't even fought back.

Actually, it wasn't that he didn't fight back, but that he couldn't beat them at all; the other side was Xu Zifeng and Ma Hei, and even if he had some cultivation, he was far from being their opponent.

It was purely a one-sided beating.

The reason Xu Zifeng came to this place was to buy medicine because he was injured.

He had clashed with a strange person near the Manghuang Mountain Range.

Because when returning, Xu Zifeng's group seemed to have been discovered by the Second Imperial Wang Wang Shizi's men, and Ma Hei took the initiative to lure away the Crown Wang Wang Shizi's team.

Xu Zifeng hid in the dark, and after the Second Imperial Wang Wang Shizi's men went far away, he emerged from the dark, coincidentally bumping into Xiao Ming, who was following behind.

Both were masked, their identities unknown, and both felt that if they didn't solve the person opposite, they might be exposed, so they directly started fighting.

Xu Zifeng was at the mid-stage Union Realm; fighting Xiao Ming, who was at the late-stage Void Realm, was easy.

After about five moves, Xiao Ming began to face life-threatening danger.

Xiao Ming was also shocked; he often fought above his level, so why couldn't he do it this time?

Just as Xu Zifeng was preparing to end the battle, the Sage's remnant soul took over the account, boosting Xiao Ming to the mid-stage Union Realm.

The two instantly reached the same level, and the Sage's remnant soul had very strong combat experience; Xu Zifeng began to fall into a disadvantage, and wounds constantly appeared on his body.

He didn't understand why a person he had just crushed could erupt with such powerful might; could this kid be playing the pig to eat the tiger?

After all, they were at the same level, and they were in the forest; as long as it wasn't a fight to the death, if Xu Zifeng wanted to run, Xiao Ming couldn't catch up.

Moreover, Xiao Ming was already at the end of his rope; after the Sage's remnant soul possessed him, it forcibly raised his cultivation, and his meridians couldn't handle such destruction.

If Xu Zifeng didn't run again, he might be the one running.

After Xu Zifeng returned to the imperial capital, he met up with Ma Hei to inquire about the Second Imperial Wang Wang Shizi.

Ma Hei indicated that Feng Wuhen was very fast; if it had been any other Heavenly Abyss Realm expert, he would have been caught long ago.

But Ma Hei was too familiar with the forest; the ability he used this time was different from last time, not only shaking off Feng Wuhen but also not exposing his identity, telling Xu Zifeng to rest assured.

Xu Zifeng then came to the medical clinic to buy some medicine to heal his wounds.

He happened to run into someone who dared to block the way, so he completed a daily task along the way.

Anyway, the jail was like his home; going to the jail to apply medicine would avoid his aunt worrying.

Ma Hei, who was taken away, was also very helpless; coming to the imperial capital for three days, he had spent three days in jail—family, who understands this!

Xiao Ming was, after all, a person favored by the Minister of Justice and had official duties, so he returned directly to the Ministry of Justice's medical location to receive treatment.

After the treatment ended, he immediately set off for the government office, wanting to tell Lin Yue'e the information he had found.

Thinking of hearing his goddess's praise, he felt incomparably excited inside.

Having been a sycophant for Chu Ruoyan for so many years, Chu Ruoyan had never praised him.

At this time, he happened to run into Lin Yue'e, who was escorting Xu Zifeng back.

Xu Zifeng was thinking about how to make a move during the Spring Hunt, while Xiao Ming only had eyes for Lin Yue'e; neither of them paid much attention to each other at this moment, otherwise, they would have discovered that the masked person they had just fought was the other party.

This was the process of Zou Yi being beaten for the first time in the imperial capital.

After being beaten by the passing Xu Zifeng, he thought: The other side is the Crown Wang Wang Shizi of the Wang Wang Shizi of Zhennan, what can I do?

Since he happened to be at the entrance of the Bai clan's medical clinic, he could only follow along into the clinic to receive treatment.

Originally, he needed to queue; there were many noble disciples in the imperial capital, and who didn't have some connections?

However, he had his father's introduction letter, and through this letter, he really did cut the line.

Not long after, a person in charge of the medical clinic came out personally to receive Zou Yi.

This woman was broad and fat, with a large build, looking very fierce.

Zou Yi, with his small build, having just been beaten, felt a bit fearful involuntarily.

However, the female manager said: "You're lucky today to have run into me; I'll have you cured in a moment."

Zou Yi didn't know how serious the problem was at the time and said, "Thank you."

Then this female manager said she was treating him, but actually took him to a single room.

In the name of treatment, she touched him all over and said: "What haven't I seen? This is all just an examination."

At this time, Zou Yi still felt that perhaps what she said was right; after all, treatment should be comprehensive.

Until the female manager asked him if he wanted to marry into the Bai clan, Zou Yi knew that this woman was just molesting him!

If Zou Yi hadn't come here to handle business, he might have slapped her face on the spot.

Enduring the disgust, Zou Yi still followed his father's instructions and asked the female manager if she had finished reading the envelope.

The female manager nodded and took him to a place with a strong medicinal smell, then pointed to a white jade coffin inside and said: "That was placed here by your father a few years ago. Before handing it to your father, don't open it, or you will be in danger."

Zou Yi looked at the coffin and swallowed his saliva.

Could there be a dead person inside?

Could his father want the Bai clan to save a dead person?

Anyway, his father had specifically instructed, and coupled with the seal on the white jade coffin, he couldn't open it, so he let his subordinates carry the thing away.

Logically speaking, since he had finished his business, he should have returned according to the Empress Dowager's instructions.

But Zou Yi was not reconciled; having finally come to the imperial capital, the Ninth Princess was so beautiful, he had to get his hands on her no matter what.

On the way back to the inn, Zou Yi thought of two methods. The first method was naturally normal pursuit; he was at least handsome and dashing, and a match for the Ninth Princess, so he just needed to use his skills.

However, this method was very difficult; it was said that the Ninth Princess had been staying in the palace, and he didn't have many opportunities to enter.

The second method was naturally to perform a meritorious service and ask His Majesty to grant the marriage.

Zou Yi felt this method was more reliable, but how to perform a meritorious service? This was the problem he was thinking about.

Suddenly, Zou Yi's eyes lit up.

"The one who just beat me seems to be the Crown Wang Wang Shizi of the Wang Wang Shizi of Zhennan. The Wang Wang Shizi of Zhennan has long had the intention of rebelling; maybe as long as I find evidence of the Wang Wang Shizi of Zhennan's rebellion, I can perform a meritorious service!"

The more he thought, the more Zou Yi felt this was a heaven-sent opportunity.

He was worried about having no way to deal with the Crown Wang Wang Shizi of the Wang Wang Shizi of Zhennan; didn't this give him an opportunity? It was killing two birds with one stone.

Aunt couldn't help with marrying the princess, but she had to give him some manpower to help him scout for information.

And at this time, his aunt was eating cake in Li Chen's sleeping quarters.

Li Chen had made one cake, intending to celebrate for Li Sining.

!

However, Chu Ruoyan heard the news and immediately ran over; she loved sweets the most, so naturally, she pestered him to share some.

When the Empress Dowager came over, Li Chen divided the cake into four portions; this kind of thing easily dirtied hands, so he went back to get tableware.

On the table, an exquisite and delicious cake lay quietly, the delicate cream and colorful fruits reflecting each other, emitting an alluring fragrance.

"What is this white layer on top?"

The Empress Dowager looked at this rare item she hadn't seen before and expressed hesitation.

"Empress Dowager, this is called cream; it's delicious. If you don't believe me, try dipping a bit with your hand."

Li Sining encouraged her; she had eaten it like this before, and if it weren't for Li Chen disliking her dirtying her hands like this, she would have grabbed it and eaten it just now.

Sensing that the two gluttons beside her were already drooling, the Empress Dowager followed the method she said, dipped a bit with her hand, and put it into her mouth.

The cream instantly melted in her mouth, bringing an unprecedented wonderful taste.

Her eyes lit up suddenly, as if shocked by this deliciousness.

The corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a look of intoxication.

The sweetness of the cream made her taste buds feel as if they had been sublimated at this moment.

This thing seemed to have opened a new world for the Empress Dowager, no less than the hot pot she had eaten!

The result was that when Li Chen, fearing dirty hands, came back with tableware, he found the cake on the table had been eaten.

Li Chen's mouth twitched slightly, and he questioned: "Where is my portion!?"

His words carried endless terrifying dignity.

That powerful imperial aura instantly enveloped the entire room.

The three women, hearing this, immediately closed their mouths, shaking their heads nervously, indicating they hadn't eaten it.

But Li Chen saw that they all had cream on their mouths.

That's too much; I made it myself, and I haven't even eaten it yet, and you even ate my portion!

Seeing Li Chen walking over with an unkind look, Li Sining reacted first and ran out directly, because she knew that once Li Chen had this expression, it meant someone was going to suffer.

Chu Ruoyan and the Empress Dowager also reacted; they had indeed eaten Li Chen's cake just now.

So after Li Sining ran away, they subconsciously followed and ran out.

But at this moment, the unlucky Chu Ruoyan was grabbed by Li Chen. Li Chen looked at her with a smile and said: "You ate it, right!"

Chu Ruoyan was wronged; just now, the Empress Dowager was eating so intoxicatedly that she couldn't stop and ate your piece too; I and Sining only ate our own!

Of course, it's possible we accidentally ate a little bit of yours, but the Empress Dowager definitely ate the most!

We were just protecting our own cake!

No matter how she explained, Li Chen didn't believe her and said that he would eat back exactly how she ate it.

Chu Ruoyan anticipated this ending and was very afraid inside; she thought, the Empress Dowager was right beside me just now, why did you grab me and not the Empress Dowager?

If Li Chen knew her thought, he would definitely say: I wanted to, but it's not the time yet, so just obediently take the damage.

Not long after, Chu Ruoyan's screams came from the room.

This made the two women who ran out feel a lingering fear.

On the other side, Xiao Ming, who had already forgotten his previous goddess, was reporting the situation to his current goddess.

"I followed the Second Imperial Wang Wang Shizi for a day; the Second Imperial Wang Wang Shizi set traps in these places, and I have marked them all."

Xiao Ming took out the map and explained it very professionally to Lin Yue'e.

He even began to brag that if it weren't for his own solid skills, he would have almost died in the Manghuang Mountain Range.

The Sage's remnant soul felt speechless after hearing this; wasn't that thanks to me?

"Well done. After the Spring Hunt ends, I will report your merits to His Majesty, and there will definitely be rewards for you then."

As a loyal subject who only cared for Li Chen, Lin Yue'e would think of Li Chen's safety in everything.

Even if Li Chen had already laid out his plans, having more information could guarantee Li Chen's safety.

"No problem, no problem, as long as I can share tasks for you, it is my honor."

Xiao Ming felt that his days were getting better.

Now he could be alone with Lin Yue'e through official business; it was a dream-like life.

Rising in rank and title, winning the beauty—that was all a matter of time.

The most important thing was that no one was competing with him for this goddess, Lin Yue'e!
