The protective shield activated, and the next second, the young emperor and Zhao Xi flashed forward, charging towards each other simultaneously. At the same time, their quantum beasts, a golden snake and a large black snake, also pounced on their opponent.
The training ground was heavily guarded, and no one was allowed to approach.
"Why can't we go in?" The Third Prince looked puzzled. "It's just a martial arts training ground. Has it become a top-secret military location?"
The Second Prince, who had come upon hearing the news, looked in the direction of the martial arts arena and thought, "It must have been requisitioned by someone."
"Who's putting on such airs?" the Third Prince snapped, "This is far too domineering."
"Ahem," the eldest prince interrupted the third prince, "Third brother, be careful what you say. It should be Father Emperor in the martial arts arena."
The second prince rolled his eyes at the third prince. "Besides our father, who else would dare to do this?"
The third prince suddenly realized, then frowned, "We're all here, so who is Father fighting?"
"I don't know." The eldest prince shook his head and said calmly, "Just wait and see."
"Brother, you really don't know?" The Second Prince didn't believe him.
The eldest prince glanced at the second prince indifferently, then looked up towards the martial arts arena. "Second brother, wait patiently for a while. We'll have an answer soon."
With his father's power, no matter who came, they wouldn't be able to last an hour under his father's command.
Just as the Crown Prince had predicted, the protective shield opened in less than an hour, and the young Emperor walked out, adjusting his outer robe, collar, and buttons. His dashing appearance made him seem more like an elder brother than the father of the princes.
Upon seeing his sons, the young emperor paused for a moment, "Why are you all here?"
"Father, who are you fighting?" the second prince asked instead of answering.
"Go in and see for yourself." The young emperor continued walking out, "Give the people inside a treatment pod."
The three princes hurriedly ran towards the training ground.
Second Prince: "Since they need a treatment pod, their injuries must be quite severe."
The Third Prince said, "Father must have been ruthless. That's rare. Isn't Father usually the most amiable?"
The eldest prince said, "Huh, that person looks a bit like my second uncle who just returned?"
Second Prince: "It's not just similar, it's clearly him. Who else has long hair besides him?"
At this moment, the three princes had already arrived in front of Zhao Xi.
Looking at Zhao Xi's disfigured face and twisted limbs, the Third Prince swallowed hard. "I take back what I just said. Our father is not friendly at all."
"To be so ruthless, there must be some deep-seated hatred between them," the Second Prince concluded.
The eldest prince glanced sideways at the second prince and said, "Perhaps."
Since Li Ze's "death," the eldest princess has stayed in the palace and remained quiet for a while.
During this time, she kept an eye on information from the outside world, especially about He Xingjue and that Li Ze.
As a result, everything was calm outside, and there was absolutely no news about He Xingjue and Li Ze.
"It seems they don't know about Li Ze's fall into the Star Sea." The eldest princess's expression was complicated. On one hand, she hoped that the news of Li Ze's death would spread, causing those who loved Li Ze to grieve and weep; on the other hand, she did not want the news of Li Ze's death to spread, so that she would be safe.
Although, deep down she still didn't believe that He Xingjue would harm her, a royal princess, for the sake of Li Ze.
One day, the eldest princess's close friends invited her to go shopping. The eldest princess, who had been staying at home for so long that she was practically growing mold, agreed after a little hesitation.
She didn't believe that He Xingjue could do anything to her in public.
Perhaps He Xingjue doesn't even know that Li Ze is dead?
Even if he knew, he couldn't be sure she was the murderer.
After thinking it through, the eldest princess dressed up beautifully and went out.
Girls' entertainment is nothing more than looking at handsome men, clothes, jewelry, and food. After a day of shopping, the eldest princess and her girlfriends chose the tallest building and the most famous restaurant with the best night view on Vermilion Bird Star to enjoy dinner in the evening.
“Every time I come here, I have the illusion that I can reach out and pluck the stars from the sky.”
"Want a star? Let the sentinel who loves you pluck it for you."
"Why do you want stars? Have him send you a planet."
"I don't want a planet. Not only do I have to pay a huge amount of taxes every year, but I also have to spend time and effort managing it. It's not worth it."
"Tsk tsk, if you said that on StarNet, the netizens' spittle would drown you."
"I'm just being realistic; not every planet makes money."
"That's true. Giving me an agricultural star is not as good as giving me a gem."
"You still need gems? Tsk tsk, spread the word, and someone can bring you a whole box of them tomorrow."
"Get lost! I don't accept gifts from just anyone!"
"Then whose will you accept? I'll tell him for you."
"Shut up!"
......
The girls laughed and played, their laughter ringing out.
"Your Highness, the First Princess."
A voice interrupted the girls' conversation.
The girls all looked toward the source of the voice. "Oh, it's Chen Qian!"
Chen Qian is one of the few dozen SS-level guides in the entire empire. He comes from a good family, is strong, capable, and exceptionally handsome. Although he is not as famous as He Xingjue, he is well-known in the upper echelons of the empire.
"Chen Qian, sit down and have a meal with us," someone invited.
"Thank you for the invitation, but no need, I have other matters to attend to." Chen Qian politely turned to the eldest princess and said, "I have something to discuss with the eldest princess. Would it be convenient for her to grant me a moment's peace?"
