Li Xiao and the other two were not far from the princess's mansion when another extremely majestic and powerful convoy came from behind.
"Yes, the Seventh Prince Li Xiao?"
A huge carriage was in the lead, with half of its face sticking out, waving at Zhou Xuan.
"It's the Sixth Prince, Li Xian! It's said that he and the Third Prince have always been at odds."
Zhou Xuan explained in a low voice, and Li Xiao couldn't help but laugh. Just looking at the names of these two people, they were destined to be incompatible.
"I'm Li Xiao! As for whether I'm the Seventh Prince, I really don't know!"
Li Xiao smiled and made his attitude clear.
"Seventh brother, why are you so angry? The dynasty is in a turbulent time, and the emperor is so busy that he simply can't spare the time to see you!"
"Come on, come on, come up quickly! Sixth Brother will take you there!"
A handsome and extraordinary young man walked out slowly, took Li Xiao's hand and took him into the car.
"Oh! It turns out to be the Sixth Prince!"
Li Xiao responded indifferently, but dodged the other party's pull.
“Get in the car!”
Li Xian smiled and didn't mind Li Xiao's deliberate distance.
"We are brothers connected by blood! Seventh brother, there is no need to be so formal with me."
Entering a huge, luxurious and comfortable space, Li Xian asked the three of them to sit down, and he immediately looked at Li Xiao with a smile.
"What exactly does the Sixth Prince want to say?"
Li Xiao leaned there indifferently, and he also looked at Li Xian curiously.
"I heard that someone wants to harm you! Wait a moment, don't say anything, just stand behind me!"
Seeing Li Xiao's attitude, Li Xiao stopped talking nonsense and went straight to the point.
"Do I have anything else that could be won over?"
Li Xiao looked puzzled. He really didn't understand why Li Xian came to see him.
"Alright! Since Seventh Brother likes to be straightforward, I'll just say it straight."
"I just found out that the house you live in now is actually not simple."
"Many people are sealed there. Anyone who dares to approach will suffer the emperor's thundering wrath!"
"I suspect that the former owner of that place must have been someone very important to the Emperor."
Li Xian explained softly, staring intently into Li Xiao's eyes, wanting to know how he would react.
"Are you trying to say that that's where my mother once lived?"
Li Xiao had a calm expression. He was just a time traveler, so naturally he wouldn't care much about the cheap mother brought by his original body.
"It's very likely! My mother told me that when the emperor was still the crown prince, he once kept a beautiful woman in his golden house and had a true love that was hard to let go."
"Later, he became the emperor, but that woman refused to enter the palace. As a result, the emperor often abandoned the beauties in his harem and the officials of his former dynasty, disguising himself in order to find her."
Li Xian said this and stopped talking.
"oh?"
Li Xiao's heart skipped a beat. His adopted mother should be the beloved daughter of the Demon Lord. Perhaps she was unwilling to enter the palace for this reason?
It seems that Emperor Jiuyan still cares about his cheap mother, but how could he abandon himself to the Li family?
"Don't worry, Seventh Brother! According to the rules of the Nine Flame Dynasty, as long as you ignore the provocation, they can't do anything to you!"
Li Xian comforted him softly, and Li Xiao immediately rolled his eyes.
I don’t know what the Sixth Prince is thinking. He just appeared in the public eye and has the image of a useless weakling. Is this really good for him?
"If a strong person provokes me, it is not a provocation, it is a show of care for the weak. I will definitely be grateful and will not dare to fight him."
Li Xiao spoke lightly, and his words left Li Xian stunned.
Is this okay?
Looking at the other person's appearance, he is obviously just a normal young man, but he gives people a feeling of seeing through the world and being carefree and unrestrained?
The convoy went straight into the princess's mansion. Many guests had already arrived. When they saw Li Xian get off the car, a large crowd immediately gathered around.
"This is my seventh brother, Li Xiao! If there's a competition between geniuses later, please show mercy and don't hurt him."
Li Xian pointed at Li Xiao and introduced him to everyone. His words immediately earned Li Xiao a lot of contemptuous looks.
"Yes! Please show some mercy and don't challenge me."
Li Xiao smiled and cupped his hands, and everyone immediately looked strange.
Seeing Li Xiao's weak look, she really didn't understand why the Fourth Princess was targeting her.
"This is horrible!"
A clear voice rang out from the crowd, and everyone looked over to see a young man wearing an unusually plain outfit and carrying a sword.
"The Fourth Princess's Tianjiao Banquet has always been about a martial arts competition to find a husband!"
"It's not easy for her to fight with outsiders, so the princes should do it for her!"
"Other princes have demonstrated their strength several times before. How can the Seventh Prince, who has just arrived in the Imperial City, pass up such an opportunity?"
The man explained with a chuckle, appearing to be very calm and reasonable in his words.
"What Fourth Princess? I'm not even familiar with her! If someone asks me, I think anyone here would be a good match for her!"
Li Xiao shook his head indifferently. Isn't it nonsense to ask him to help the Fourth Princess to select a suitable husband?
"Shut up! How dare you say that the Fourth Princess is available to anyone?"
Just when everyone was shocked by Li Xiao's honesty and shamelessness, an angry roar suddenly came.
The young man with the sword was so angry that his face turned red, and the veins on the back of his hand that was tightly holding the sword were bulging!
"When did I say that?"
Li Xiao was shocked. He didn't expect that a woman like the Fourth Princess Li Mei would have admirers.
"Don't misunderstand!"
The young man was so angry that his cheeks puffed up, but he suppressed his anger and bowed to everyone around him.
"I wouldn't dare covet anything! However, I won't allow anyone to slander the Fourth Princess so viciously!"
"Li Xiao! I challenge you! Life or death!"
The young man stared at Li Xiao with flaming eyes, as if Li Xiao had just killed his entire family.
"Who is this person?"
Li Xiao's face was full of confusion. He had heard of the name Ye Bufan before, but he didn't expect to be challenged before he even took his seat.
"This seems to be Ye Bufan's younger brother, Ye Chuchen, right?"
Zhou Xuan asked back with some uncertainty, he really wasn't sure.
"You fellow, have you already considered the Fourth Princess to be a member of your Ye family?"
Li Xiao shook his head and laughed. He ignored the young man and walked past him.
"Stop fooling around, everyone go in and listen to what my fourth sister has to say."
Li Xian jumped out hurriedly to comfort him. At this moment, he felt that Li Xiao was indeed a shameless person who didn't mind being provoked in person.
Others had similar thoughts, but they didn’t know that today’s banquet for the geniuses was destined to be a bloody affair!
