Chapter 232 They are stupid and can’t tell who I am.
"Hey? Why does this person look more and more familiar the more I look at him?" Master Shi said with some suspicion.
The Ninth Master also nodded, and he and the Tenth Master continued to walk closer.
Prince Zhi was so anxious that he rolled on the ground several times, thinking about how to escape.
Now I want to run, I'm afraid it's impossible, the petty-minded Fourth Brother is most likely waiting to see me make a fool of myself. If I get caught by him halfway through my escape, wouldn't that be even more embarrassing?
At the critical moment, Prince Zhi felt his hand touch some dirt. The dirt, covered by the heavy snow, was slightly moist. Delighted, Prince Zhi grabbed a handful and smeared it on his face.
At the same time, Master Jiu also picked up a jade pendant that he was very familiar with. After taking a closer look, he said with a very strange expression: "...Brother?"
"Big Brother!" Master Shi's eyes almost popped out of his head, then he curled his lips and said, "Ninth Brother, are you confused? Why is Big Brother rolling on the ground? And rolling so miserably?"
When Prince Zhi heard this, he gritted his teeth, stamped his feet, and immediately grabbed a handful of mud to cover his entire face.
Seeing the Tenth Master's disbelief, the Ninth Master picked up the jade pendant and shook it: "Look..."
Master Shi glanced at it, blinked, and silently turned his gaze to the person who was still digging around in the snow with his butt sticking out. For a moment, he froze.
The jade pendants made by the Emperor looked identical to outsiders, but there were actually subtle differences. After all, no two jades were exactly alike.
Each of the princes was familiar with these jade pendants. The one he had made for his eldest brother years earlier had a dragon pattern carved into it, and it happened to have an extra dot where the dragon's claws were. The jade carving master had a flash of inspiration and carved a sword instead. Now, this one was undoubtedly his eldest brother's.
The Tenth Master didn't believe it and walked over quickly: "Are you my eldest brother?"
The man who was digging up the snow on the ground like an idiot was his elder brother, but Master Shi didn't want to admit it at all.
The Ninth Master was also full of curiosity. He followed the Tenth Master closer to the man, wanting to get a closer look.
"Stop, don't come over! I'm not the eldest brother! I don't know what eldest brother is! I don't know what the Prince of Zhi is!"
Seeing the two men approaching, the Prince of Zhi suddenly shouted at them. Then he stood up and turned around tentatively with a stiff face.
The people on the opposite side really didn't move, just staring blankly without any reaction.
The Prince of Zhi gradually relaxed his worries. It seemed that this muddy mess was not bad. They didn't recognize him. He finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking closely, he saw that Lao Shi was holding his jade pendant in his hand.
Prince Zhi's pupils suddenly shrank, and he quickly stepped forward and snatched the jade pendant back.
Seeing the Tenth Master still staring blankly at him, the Prince of Zhi coughed softly. "Well, I... I'm Li Jian, the Prince of Zhi's personal bodyguard. I came here on my master's orders. Now that everything's fine, I'll be leaving." He tucked his jade pendant back into his clothes and walked out step by step, forcing himself to remain calm. Sweat broke out on his forehead from the nervousness.
[…Master, why does he walk with his hands and feet together? Do you humans think walking like that is more imposing?]
Wen Jiu couldn't help but twitch his lips again. Looking at the extremely stiff hands and feet of Prince Zhi in front of him, he suddenly felt that the personality of this handsome prince in history...had collapsed a bit.
Prince Zhi walked through the Moon Gate and quickly hid to the side. He let out a long sigh and patted his chest, "Fortunately, no one discovered my flaw."
The sharp blade behind him also jogged over and saw that Prince Zhi wanted to say something but stopped himself several times.
Prince Zhi glared at him and said, "What? I used your name, and you still have a problem with it?"
Li Ren shook his head stiffly: "No, Master, you..."
"Okay, stop talking!" The Prince of Zhi gritted his teeth. "These brats are really getting cocky! Just wait for me. I'll definitely give them a good beating in a few days and make up for the loss I made today!"
Then he leaned against the wall and gasped: "Fortunately, they were stupid and didn't realize who I was."
As he spoke, he glanced at the sharp blade beside him with a hint of pride: "Your master is smart, right? Otherwise, you would have lost all your face by now!"
Li Ren frowned, and before he could say anything, he saw Su Peisheng walking over.
The Prince of Zhi was so stiff that he didn't know where to put his hands and feet.
Su Peisheng was stunned for a moment, then immediately came over and bowed: "Good luck to the Prince of Zhi."
The expression on Prince Zhi's face froze, his eyes widened: "What did you say!"
Su Peisheng shrank his neck in fear, lowering his head even more, and said nervously, "Is it auspicious for the Prince of Zhi?"
Prince Zhi turned his head stiffly and looked at the sharp blade.
"He... recognizes me?"
Li Ren immediately forced out a smile that was uglier than crying: "Master...it seems so."
"Impossible!" Prince Zhi suddenly became furious: "How is it possible? I have mud smeared on my face! Tell me! How did you recognize me?" He glared, and all his aura suddenly pressed towards Su Peisheng.
Su Peisheng was so scared that he fell to his knees, stammering, not knowing what to say.
"Good luck to the Prince of Zhi!" Just when the air was tense, Doctor Liu suddenly passed by, trembling, and greeted the Prince of Zhi with a fist. Then, he walked in cautiously through the Moon Gate.
The Prince of Zhi blinked blankly, his complexion changing back and forth several times between red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. Suddenly, he roared, "I am not the Prince of Zhi!"
He covered his face and disappeared in an instant.
At the back, everyone was also looking over here. After they could no longer hear the sound, they gradually came back to their senses.
Jiu Ye retracted his gaze and said with an embarrassed look: "What happened to Big Brother?"
Tenth Master: "Could it be... he's gone insane?" He had the good fortune to enter the emperor's cold palace once, and saw that the women there were rolling around in the straw, looking for lice to play with. Could it be that his eldest brother also had the same problem?
Jiu Ye's expression was rather troubled: "He doesn't seem to be crazy, but I still feel like he's a little off."
Did he really think that no one could tell it was him? Even with his full beard and face covered in mud, you could tell it was him. And his voice hadn't changed.
He even said seriously that he was a sharp blade...
Li Jian has been with him for many years and everyone is familiar with him. He was standing right next to them!
He was also muttering to himself, saying that he was not the Prince of Zhi. It was strange.
"Fourth brother, where did you find our eldest brother? Could he have encountered some difficulties?" Master Jiu suddenly became a little worried.
