Daring to block the Prince of Zhenan’s path, you’d better watch out—I’ll beat you senseless!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zifeng didn’t need alcohol to fuel his arrogance—he was naturally this brazen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, today’s routine mischief hadn’t been completed yet, so Xu Zifeng decided to cause a scene right here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this man across from him wore a hooded cloak, the hood pulled low, hiding his face—such a cowardly, secretive fellow, what was there to fear?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was the illustrious Prince of Zhenan!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hooded man across from him froze for a moment upon hearing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the imperial capital, how many people dared speak to him like this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was furious now, his eyes blazing with rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This man was none other than the Second Imperial Prince, Li Xian—his status was even more exalted; how could he possibly back down?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he was concealing his identity, that didn’t mean he’d tolerate such insolence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Teach him a lesson.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Xian spoke in a low tone; beside him, Feng Wuhen, the capital’s fastest swordsman, understood at once—he flickered forward and appeared before Xu Zifeng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t draw his sword, merely gave a simple shove—but it carried terrifying power, as if heaven and earth were fused, invincible and unbreakable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zifeng was stunned—he never imagined this seemingly ordinary roadblock had a subordinate with such formidable strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His own mid-stage Liuhe Realm cultivation base felt utterly feeble before this man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body was locked in place—he couldn’t evade Feng Wuhen’s attack—and his heart was filled with dread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Xu Zifeng’s companions were no ordinary men either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Hei saw this, his eyes flashing with anger—he surged forward and seized Feng Wuhen’s arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How dare you lay hands on the Prince of Zhenan? Do you wish to die?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their powers collided violently at that moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Hei’s palm seemed to contain boundless force, shaking Feng Wuhen’s arm till it went numb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Wuhen, though startled, refused to yield—he spun his body, breaking free from Ma Hei’s grip and striking for Ma Hei’s throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Hei had assumed his move would subdue the opponent, but when he found resistance, he immediately responded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the cramped space, they exchanged blows rapidly, spiritual energy surging wildly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each move appeared simple, yet concealed profound secrets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both were seasoned masters, nearly invincible beneath the Saint Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet now, both were secretly alarmed—they hadn’t expected to encounter an opponent of equal strength in the imperial capital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As their clash continued, the atmosphere inside the tavern grew increasingly tense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those around them cast astonished glances, whispering among themselves; a few had already retreated, fearing they’d be caught in the crossfire of these two powerhouses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Xu Zifeng and Li Xian stood aside, watching the sudden duel with cold, detached eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, a pair of eyes nearby stared fixedly at everything unfolding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master, these two have incredibly strong auras—who are they?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Ming said, inwardly startled—he, a late-stage Breakthrough Realm cultivator, felt a chill seeing Feng Wuhen and Ma Hei fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was here because he was tracking and investigating an official from the Ministry of Justice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That official was currently standing beside the Second Imperial Prince, Li Xian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Xiao Ming was new to officialdom, with little exposure—he didn’t yet know this was the Second Imperial Prince, nor had he ever seen Feng Wuhen; but the man across from him, Xu Zifeng, seemed vaguely familiar, though he couldn’t place where.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Saint’s Remnant Soul watched for a moment, then said: “The one with the sword is a master swordsman. Even with his aura concealed, I estimate he’s at least late-stage Tianyuan Realm, possibly even peak. His opponent is also Tianyuan Realm—if I’m not mistaken, he’s an heir of the Witch Cult Holy Land.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Saint’s Remnant Soul had seen much—he’d once met an Elder of the Witch Cult Holy Land during his travels. As the situation grew more tense, a squad of government office runners burst in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Saint’s Remnant Soul noticed his disciple’s stunned expression, then glanced at the lead government office runner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought: Dammit, the boy’s obsession with that woman is flaring up again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one arriving was none other than Lin Yue’e.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yue’e was both beautiful and sharp—Xiao Ming felt his heart skip at first sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he thought: she’s a government office runner too—perfect match for me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure, he was still unofficial, but he’d be confirmed soon—then wouldn’t they be able to clock in together and go on dates after work?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, the Ministry of Justice wasn’t far from the Imperial Capital government office—this was perfect social parity!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Ming had even already picked names for the children he’d have with this unknown female officer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yue’e hadn’t come because of a report—she’d been watching Xu Zifeng all along; whenever he caused trouble, she moved in immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew Xu Zifeng couldn’t possibly avoid causing trouble—and here it was again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Lin Yue’e and her squad had surrounded the scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neither the Second Imperial Prince Li Xian nor Xu Zifeng showed any intention to flee; Feng Wuhen and Ma Hei were still locked in combat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Xian saw the government office runners arrive and paid them no mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was the Second Imperial Prince—weren’t they all his own subordinates?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was just too lazy to reveal his identity today; otherwise, every government office runner would kneel and bow before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Xian gave a glance to his attendant, signaling him to quickly shoo away this squad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The attendant was just as arrogant—he’d never met anyone in the capital who didn’t cower before him, let alone lowly government office runners.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The attendant stepped up to Lin Yue’e, briefly flashed his status—he expected her to panic and flee, as everyone always had.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who could have imagined Lin Yue’e ordered her men to arrest him on the spot?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The attendant was dumbfounded, shouting: “Do you know who I am?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yue’e sneered: “I don’t care who you are!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, she ordered her men to arrest everyone involved in the disturbance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Second Imperial Prince Li Xian was slightly angered—didn’t this officer have any sense?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the government office runners drew near, he dropped the pretense entirely and blasted everyone around him back with a single pulse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Xian merely didn’t want to reveal his whereabouts—he wasn’t wanted, and he was still the Second Imperial Prince.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Feng Wuhen stepped forward, blocking the government office runners, and roared: “How dare you! This is the Second Imperial Prince!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those around gasped, staring at Li Xian in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Xian even removed his hood with arrogance, glaring at Lin Yue’e.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now do you realize your mistake, little officer?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zifeng was also surprised—no wonder this guy wouldn’t give way—he was the Second Imperial Prince.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zifeng had only ever caused trouble among the lower and middle echelons of nobility in the capital—he’d never encountered the Second Imperial Prince.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now many nearby onlookers looked at Lin Yue’e with pity—what fate awaited one who offended the Second Imperial Prince?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Xian merely wanted to scare Lin Yue’e off—wait for her to kneel and apologize, then let her go with a warning, a small display of power was enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Xu Zifeng didn’t think Lin Yue’e was in danger—because the next second, she pulled out Li Chen’s imperial waist token and said coldly: “This token was granted by His Majesty—who dares resist arrest?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1244,"2026-06-20T21:59:17.413Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","4c9d3cdfc9fa07b1a33ba07a0ab0cf94a016c7630ce6bb4bc795253d1f0d490b","i-just-maxed-out-and-you-want-me-to-be-a-puppet--chapter-99","i-just-maxed-out-and-you-want-me-to-be-a-puppet--chapter-97",766,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-just-maxed-out-and-you-want-me-to-be-a-puppet--cover.jpg"]
