Chapter 402: Handsome Supervisor fiercely flirts 25

【Host! The male lead's fortune in Brocade Splendor Pavilion's world is disappearing!】

0731's warning sound suddenly rang out, as Jin Chen, who was examining closely, paused slightly and looked toward Qi Yi Qiu beside him.

【Has it transferred to Cui Chengping?】

【No, this feeling is as if… it's been sucked away—could it be that person behind the scenes who possesses the system!】

0731 felt it over and finally drew a conclusion.

"Let go of me! You bunch of blind, worthless scum! Just like your master!"

Brocade Splendor Pavilion was still struggling, but the factory guards could no longer tolerate it; they didn't care whether he was a prince—their master was only Xuan Che.

The factory guards bound Brocade Splendor Pavilion, one of them pinching his jaw and grabbing his hair to force him to raise his head, like a dog without any dignity.

"Look, that imposing aura from earlier is completely gone now."

Xuan Che smiled, eyes crinkling, and took out a delicate, small dagger from his sleeve; the blade looked sharp and pointed.

He walked over slowly, ignoring the others kneeling, and the dagger's tip touched Brocade Splendor Pavilion's teeth.

"Do you have anything else to say? After today, you won't be able to speak at all, so speak your mind freely now—no one will stop you."

"Rebels! You bunch of rebels!"

Brocade Splendor Pavilion showed no fear at all, as if he hadn't even noticed the deadly dagger pressed to his lips; struggling, his lip was split, yet he continued to curse loudly while spitting blood.

Finally someone noticed something was wrong; just as he was about to rise and speak, Xuan Che's glance frightened him into silence.

"The Eldest Prince is acting odd today; I'll personally take him back to see the imperial physician—you all continue the hunt."

Xuan Che glanced at Jin Chen, who seemed still to be observing the surroundings; afraid of exposing something, he didn't continue cutting tongues, only slashed his face into a mess, then drove everyone away.

Qi Yi Qiu looked at the wretched Eldest Prince, sighed helplessly, and felt relieved that the Qi family had not chosen to support him—he bore no resemblance to a future emperor.

Jin Chen also dismounted, preparing to enter the deep forest where hunting was forbidden to seek traces of the mastermind; after just a few steps, he saw a scene that made his heart pound.

"Little Seven! Dodge!"

He shouted and rushed to Xuan Che's side at his top speed, embracing him as they rolled sideways to the ground.

At the same time, an arrow feather brushed past Jin Chen's back, the tearing-through-air sound icy and sharp.

Knocked down unexpectedly, Xuan Che caught sight of the arrow feather brushing past Jin Chen in his peripheral vision, his hands and feet turning cold with fright; he hurriedly steadied him, "Your Highness, are you alright?"

Perhaps from the fright, his voice trembled.

Jin Chen rose and held him, comforting him.

"I'm fine, I wasn't hurt—don't worry."

Qi Yi Qiu, who hadn't left yet, also came over, their expressions solemn as they blocked the front, gazing toward the back of Brocade Splendor Pavilion.

"Who dares to act recklessly here!"

Qi Yi Qiu gave a cold shout.

But the bushes merely twitched slightly, with no one emerging.

Jin Chen had Qi Yi Qiu guard the aftermath, then drew the great sword from his horse's back, his face cold as he walked toward that spot.

He poked the sword tip into the bushes, but there was nothing inside.

Just as he was puzzled, a person stumbled out of the woods, his archery uniform torn in two places, blood pouring continuously, his face full of panic.

"Save me! Third Imperial Brother! Save me!"

The comer was none other than Jin Changyou.

Seeing Jin Chen, he seemed to have found hope, rushing over to grab Jin Chen's arm.

Jin Chen dodged the move, stepped back half a step, and asked coldly, "Why are you here?"

This person's timing of appearance is far too coincidental.

"Inside! Inside there's a black‑clothed person! He's terrifying—he cuts me on sight! And there are many others… being… commanded by him, like monsters!"

Jin Changyou spoke incoherently, crying as he spoke; he truly looked like he had just gone through a life‑and‑death chase.

【0731, check the surroundings.】

"All right, Host."

0731 was frightened by what he said, yet still mustered courage to begin enlarging the map to inspect.

Hearing this, Brocade Splendor Pavilion seemed to trigger a switch, shifting from his earlier cursing to manic laughter, muttering under his breath.

"You'll all die! The ultimate Crown Prince can only be this palace! Only this palace!"

Jin Changyou was already in a state of shock; this fright nearly made him lose his breath, and he trembled as he looked toward Brocade Splendor Pavilion.

"E… Eldest Imperial Brother—what's wrong with him?"

Xuan Che sent two factory guards in to investigate; they approached and stood shoulder‑to‑shoulder with Jin Chen, one observing Jin Changyou's expression while the other explained.

"The Eldest Prince seems to have gone mad—when he sees me he bites; it's somewhat similar to the gang the Third Prince described."

Hearing this, Jin Changyou was greatly shocked, slapping his forehead in astonishment.

"Could it be that the Eldest Imperial Brother was also ordered by that black‑clothed person just now?"

"His expression really shows no fault at all."

Xuan Che narrowed his phoenix eyes; either Jin Changyou truly has nothing to do with this, or he's so good at feigning deafness and muteness that even I can't tell.

His fingertips at his side twitched slightly as he made a quick calculation.

"If that's the case, why not have the Third Prince accompany me inside to have a look? If it really is an assassin, we can help His Majesty deal with it ahead of time."

"No, no, no—I don't want to go; I barely escaped, please let me go, sir."

Jin Changyou shook his head violently, wanting to leave.

Just then, Jin Chen suddenly stepped forward, as if accidentally bumping into Jin Changyou.

"Ouch!"

Jin Chen cried out in pain, covered his waist and jumped back, "Sorry, I didn't stand firm."

Jin Changyou was also knocked hard, but his dazed expression left him only wanting to rest, so he didn't make a fuss, saying, "Third Prince, as long as you're unharmed, that's all that matters."

It's fine, it's fine, but what's that thing hanging from your waist, Younger Royal Brother? It actually hurt someone this badly.

Jin Chen had just finished asking when he immediately reached out to take it.

Third Prince! What are you doing!

Jin Changyou was frightened by him, his already pale complexion turned even worse, and he struggled to push him away.

Eh eh eh, don't move, Your Highness is just checking what you have on your waist.

Jin Chen ignored his refusal, relying on his strength, he effortlessly undid his outer robe.

Qi Yiqiu and Cui Chengping didn't quite understand what was happening, they frowned and looked toward Xuan Che.

Xuan Che: '......'

He silently turned away, covering his face, deciding that from now on he would still not let Your Highness act in front of others.

Really like a big fool.

No one paid attention anymore to Jin Hua Xuan, whose mouth was dried with blood from shouting.

As Jin Chen and Jin Changyou tugged at each other, a jade bead fell from his waist.

Could this be it?

Jin Chen snatched it up before him, picking up the jade bead, which was the size of a soybean and looked to be nothing precious.

Almost at the moment the jade bead fell, 0731 felt an especially formidable system power.

【Host! It's him! He has a system inside him!】
