Forgive me for not welcoming you sooner to the Prince of Ding’s Manor,” he said, bowing deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Huang didn’t respond. Instead, he turned his gaze toward Xiao Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Martial nephew Xiao, this is your personal matter. I won’t interfere.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Prince Ding was utterly dumbfounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He cautiously raised his head and looked toward the young man who bore a faint resemblance to himself, thinking:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone from the Prince of Ding’s Manor is in Wendao Academy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why don’t I remember that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait… that boy from the Youlan Courtyard!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face changed drastically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Chen said indifferently, “Prince Ding, may I now lead my fellow disciples and Elder Huang through the front gate?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, of course!” Prince Ding forced a smile while sweating inwardly. “This is your home. Naturally, you should return through the main gate. Otherwise, others might think the Prince’s Manor is being disrespectful.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t a fool. From Xiao Chen’s words alone, he could already guess someone had tried to curry favor by pushing him down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not allowing Xiao Chen to enter through the front gate… naturally, Xiao Chen retaliated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, by coincidence, someone from the Shangqing Sword Sect appeared—leading to the scene he had just witnessed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prince Ding knew full well that he couldn’t afford to offend either side, but if he had to choose one…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would undoubtedly be Wendao Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the Shangqing Sword Sect might be the number one sect in the Great Wei Empire, but compared to one of the sacred lands—Wendao Academy—they weren’t even close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Chen didn’t reply. He simply turned and said, “Uncle Huang, senior and junior brothers, I’ve made a fool of myself. Please, follow me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Huang smiled. “It’s fine. To witness the top genius of Wendao Academy in action today was truly a feast for the eyes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though his words were directed at Xiao Chen, his sidelong glance at Prince Ding was not missed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Prince Ding heard the wordstop genius of Wendao Academy, he involuntarily trembled all over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what followed was sheer elation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His son was the top genius of Wendao Academy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wouldn’t that mean he could one day ascend to become the ruler of Liang Nation?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other members of Wendao Academy also spoke up:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s right, Junior Brother Xiao, don’t be so distant with us. If you really feel bad, spar with us over the next couple of days.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly—we’re all fellow disciples. No need to be so polite.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Chen nodded slightly. “Of course.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, leading the group from Wendao Academy, he marched grandly toward the Prince of Ding’s Manor without even glancing at his father.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The staff of the manor stood frozen like statues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they saw Xiao Chen approaching, they all knelt down in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We welcome the Sixth Prince home!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Chen gave them no response at all and simply walked straight into the manor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prince Ding quickly followed behind, and just before entering, he gestured to his trusted aide to have everyone who had blocked Xiao Chen earlier beheaded on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Steward Qiu and the others were completely numb by now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They knew exactly how badly they had messed up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>None of them even begged for mercy—only waited quietly for death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the rear courtyard of the Prince of Ding's Manor, within the Youlan Courtyard—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A maid burst into the main residence, her face brimming with joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Madam, good news—great news!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind the screen, Xiao Chen’s mother was calmly embroidering. She didn’t even pause at the maid’s excitement and continued her needlework unhurriedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chuntao, how many times have I told you not to make such a fuss when things happen?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But the Sixth Prince has returned! And he even defeated an elder from the Shangqing Sword Sect! He’ll surely stand up for you this time!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chuntao clenched her small fists as she spoke, brimming with righteous indignation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Chen’s mother suddenly froze mid-stitch, momentarily forgetting the pain from pricking her finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chen’er is back?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes.” Chuntao nodded quickly. “I heard the Sixth Prince is now bringing an elder from Wendao Academy and a group of geniuses into the Prince’s Manor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even His Highness is being extremely cautious, as if afraid of offending him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Our good days are finally coming.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A soft smile appeared on Xiao Chen’s mother’s face. “It seems Chen’er didn’t lie to me after all. We must thank that Chief Chu.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chuntao, seeing her lady remain so calm, began to get anxious on her behalf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Madam, the Sixth Prince is almost at Youlan Courtyard—shouldn’t you get ready?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since returning from Wendao Academy, Xiao Chen’s mother had not stepped outside her courtyard. Her only comfort had been the letters Xiao Chen sent home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, hearing what Chuntao said, she smiled and replied, “You’re right. Come, help this Princess get dressed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the front courtyard—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After settling Elder Huang and his fellow disciples, Xiao Chen brought Liu Yue’er to the Youlan Courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prince Ding followed behind them, now with only one thought in mind: win back his son’s favor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as he could mend his relationship with Xiao Chen, ascending to the throne of Liang Nation would no longer be a dream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he had never spoken to Xiao Chen properly before, and now, faced with the killing aura radiating from him,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prince Ding had no idea how to begin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Chen, seeing the Youlan Courtyard growing nearer, subconsciously quickened his pace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now, he only wanted to confirm that his mother was well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything else—he didn’t care about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later, Xiao Chen stood inside the Youlan Courtyard, gazing at the familiar residence, his heart heavy with emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mother, Chen’er has returned!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As his voice fell, the doors of the main residence opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Chen’s mother quickly ran out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing his mother’s thinner frame, Xiao Chen immediately knelt to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your unfilial son has caused you worry.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mother hurried forward and lifted him up. “Chen’er, you’re back. That’s all that matters.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few words of comfort, her gaze shifted to Liu Yue’er, who stood to the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And this young lady is?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Chen immediately replied, “Mother, this is my junior sister, Liu Yue’er.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Yue’er stepped forward and bowed respectfully. “Greetings, Aunt.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen’s mother smiled warmly. Her son had finally moved on from that incident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Miss Liu, thank you for taking care of my Chen’er.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Yue’er blushed slightly and nodded. “I will.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prince Ding stood awkwardly nearby, wanting to interject but unable to get a word in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only when the three had spoken for a while did he finally find a chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Beloved Consort, Chen’er’s fellow disciples and mentors are still waiting for the banquet to begin. Shall we go greet the people of Wendao Academy?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did Xiao Chen’s mother acknowledge Prince Ding, glancing at him and speaking with a calm tone:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then I’ll ask His Highness to lead the way.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past, had she spoken to him like this, Prince Ding would have exploded in fury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But times had changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, instead of anger, he smiled flatteringly. “Very well. This way, Beloved Consort.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Chen remained stone-faced at the sight of his father’s behavior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned to his mother and asked, “Mother, I’ve returned to Liang this time not just to see you…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I also wish to bring you to live in Wendao City. Would you be willing?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment those words fell—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prince Ding’s face instantly changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>====================================================================================\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Get access to 20 chapters in advance and enjoy 2 daily updates by supporting the series.
