Chapter 111

"So that means there is nothing to talk about?"

Lu Fang's eyes were like ice, staring fixedly at the Twenty-Seventh Imperial Prince.

"Presumptuous! How are you speaking to His Highness?" the lead guard scolded.

The Twenty-Seventh Imperial Prince was not angry at all and said with a smile: "Presumptuous, how can you speak to Lord Wenguan like that? Lord Wenguan, more talk is useless; please return."

Lu Fang pondered for a moment and said: "Twenty-Seventh Highness, how about this: I can stand on your side, as long as you release my sister, how about that?"

The Twenty-Seventh Imperial Prince impatiently picked at his ear and said: "Lord Wenguan, I don't even know what you are talking about. You want me to release your sister? What does this mean?"

"You don't need to explain, and I have no interest in knowing."

"However, regarding your offer to stand on my side, I am truly sorry, but the Xiao family would certainly not be willing, given your feud with them."

"I also do not need you as my subordinate, because you are not worthy!"

Crack!

The wooden floorboards under Lu Fang's feet cracked inch by inch, and the chair the Twenty-Seventh Imperial Prince was sitting on, as well as the table, shattered with a boom!

"You... what do you want to do!"

The Twenty-Seventh Imperial Prince was given a great fright, stood up, and retreated repeatedly. The group of guards watched Lu Fang vigilantly, as if facing a great enemy.

Song Ce protected the Twenty-Seventh Imperial Prince, scolding: "Lord Wenguan! What do you want to do? This is the Twenty-Seventh Highness; do you not want your life anymore!"

Lu Fang's long hair was blown up by the force of the wind. He walked toward the Twenty-Seventh Imperial Prince with a face full of ferocity and said coldly: "Do you really think I am afraid of you? If you dare to lay a hand on my family, even if it goes all the way to His Majesty, I will not fear."

Seeing so many guards in front of him, and with Song Ce, who had just entered the Sixth Rank realm, the Twenty-Seventh Imperial Prince looked at Lu Fang and snorted:

"You dog, you actually dare to threaten a member of the Imperial family. I think you want to rebel. Seize him for me and throw him into the Ministry of Justice prison."

The guards shouted in unison: "Yes, Your Highness."

Almost simultaneously, the six Sixth-Rank guards used all their methods.

However, these six guards suddenly discovered they could not move. The viscous air in the space seemed to be desperately squeezing their entire bodies, making it extremely difficult for them to breathe.

Before they had time to think, the six guards were sent flying backward, smashing several holes into the walls of the restaurant.

"Where is Lu Ling?"

Lu Fang continued to walk toward the Twenty-Seventh Imperial Prince.

"Lord Wenguan!" Song Ce blocked the Twenty-Seventh Imperial Prince and said in a deep voice: "If you dare to step forward again, I can consider that you intend to attack His Highness, and then don't blame me for taking action."

The Twenty-Seventh Imperial Prince scolded:

"You dog slave, why are you saying so much to him? Never mind anything else, just beat him up for me first. I want to see him kneeling in front of me. Isn't it said that your Haoran Zhengqi is of very high quality?"

A flash of anger crossed Song Ce's face, but he still obeyed the Twenty-Seventh Imperial Prince's command.

With the help of the deity, his Haoran Zhengqi, after entering the Sixth Rank, was mixed with divine power, causing his strength to advance by leaps and bounds.

However!

The deity's voice suddenly rang in his heart: "Why do you care about the life or death of this stupid prince? If Lord Wenguan accidentally kills the Twenty-Seventh Highness, or if he is humiliated, wouldn't that be to your advantage?"

Almost instantly.

Song Ce made his decision. He did not even resist, and he flew backward directly.

The Twenty-Seventh Imperial Prince was dumbfounded. Facing the furious Lu Fang walking over, he swallowed hard, his voice somewhat hoarse as he said: "Lord Wenguan! I am an Imperial Prince; what do you want to do?"

Lu Fang said nothing. He walked to within a yard of the Twenty-Seventh Imperial Prince and stopped, then expressionlessly punched the Twenty-Seventh Imperial Prince in the face.

Bang!

The Twenty-Seventh Imperial Prince was sent flying backward, crashing heavily onto the ground.

Lu Fang walked over with a gloomy expression, but suddenly a figure appeared and blocked his path. It was Minister He Fan.

"Lord Wenguan, do not be impulsive. His Majesty is already aware of this matter. After everything is investigated, he will give you an explanation."

The Twenty-Seventh Imperial Prince crawled up from the ground, opened his mouth to spit out blood and two teeth, and said viciously: "Minister, you have come at the right time. Lord Wenguan attacked me without rhyme or reason. Throw him into the Ministry of Justice prison for me."

Seeing that Lu Fang had calmed down, the Minister turned back to look at the Twenty-Seventh Imperial Prince and said: "His Majesty summons you to the Hall of Supreme Harmony."

After saying this, he and the Twenty-Seventh Imperial Prince disappeared.

Lu Fang paused for a moment and took out a glowing sound-transmission talisman from his storage bag. It was a message from his Third Senior Brother, Wang Fu.

"Lu Ling has already been found outside the city. It was your Fourth Senior Sister who saved her. Your Fourth Senior Sister wants you to go and collect her yourself. Additionally, I have already captured the Twenty-Seventh Imperial Prince's guards; His Majesty has ordered me to bring them directly into the Imperial Palace."

Lu Fang let out a heavy sigh of relief; it was good that Lu Ling was fine.

Outside Shangjing City, at Yingwu Mountain, in front of a crystal-clear lake.

A woman in her early twenties was sitting on the shore, her fair, tender feet dangling in the water, while schools of fish swam around her feet.

The woman looked somewhat innocent and naive.

Her hair was braided into many small plaits, adorned with playful, bright, and cute hairpins, and there was a bamboo basket beside her.

Looking from afar, she seemed like a mountain girl who had grown tired from picking herbs and had sat down here to play.

It was just that soaking her feet in this cold weather seemed a bit strange.

As soon as Lu Fang arrived, his entire attention was focused on the woman before him. With his momentum, he could not even discern the woman's depth. He tentatively called out: "Fourth Senior Sister?"

The woman did not even turn her head and said: "They say that water that is too clear has no fish, but since the water in this lake is so clear, why are there so many fish?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Fang had an idea. He walked to the shore of the lake, watched the schools of fish frolicking in the water, and said slowly:

"This water is indeed very clear, but when it rains, it becomes muddy, and when it snows and is freezing, it turns to ice... so the saying that water too clear has no fish is not wrong."

The woman nodded and said: "Little Junior Brother, what you say is indeed quite reasonable..."

After a conversation with the woman, Lu Fang finally learned that this Fourth Senior Sister was named Feng Yiyi, her realm was Third-Stage Great Scholar, and she knew nothing else when asked.

A Third-Stage Great Scholar in her twenties?

Lu Fang's eyelids twitched. This Fourth Senior Sister was a peerless prodigy wherever she was placed.

Feng Yiyi revealed her white teeth and smiled: "Master said to let me be your guardian, so before you can protect yourself, I will protect you from now on."

"Thank you, Fourth Senior Sister."

Lu Fang expressed his gratitude, then changed the subject: "Fourth Senior Sister, my sister Lu Ling was saved by you, right? Where is she?"

Feng Yiyi waved her hand, and Lu Ling and Xiao Tao were seen lying under a tree root not far away. She snapped her fingers, and the two slowly woke up.

"Brother..."

Lu Ling looked like a child who had done something wrong.

Lu Fang glared at her and said: "Let's go, come back with me first."

Lu Ling shook her head and said: "Brother, I want to go to the Western Regions Buddhist Kingdom; my biological parents are there."
