The group emerged from Hall 2 in an aircraft. As they disembarked, the doors of Hall 1 opened, and bodyguards helped the Fifth Prince step out.
Tao Yao glanced at the Fifth Prince not far away. Judging from her healing abilities, the Fifth Prince's injuries were not too serious.
It's a real shame that tonight's dinner is indeed not being canceled.
Various staff members were on standby in the hall. As soon as the Fifth Prince came out, two medical staff dragged a treatment pod to greet him, and a manager jogged up with a healing ability user: "Fifth Prince, let the healing ability user treat your wounds first."
The bodyguard helped Si Yi sit down on the sofa next to the door.
A healing-type ability user stepped forward and emitted white light from his hand to heal him.
Shu Yan's staff also came over to apologize: "Young Master Shu, we're sorry to have disturbed your training today. The headmaster said that all expenses for today will be waived. You can reschedule for another time, and the expenses for the next session will also be waived, as a sincere apology for this mistake."
Xia received a knowing look from her boss.
He stepped forward and took over the negotiation with the staff: "No need, sir. Our young master is also leaving soon, and he means we don't need to book another free appointment... These bodies are also going to be handed over to your facility for disposal..."
After consulting with his superiors, Xia, along with another bodyguard carrying a wild beast, followed the staff to calculate the value of the wild beast's carcass.
Shu Yan, along with Tao Yao, bid farewell to the Fifth Prince, who was sitting on the sofa.
If the Fifth Prince of the Empire hadn't come out of Gate 1 when the two of them came out, they could have pretended not to know. But now that they had bumped into each other, they should at least say hello before leaving, given their status.
Chen Xing and Ruan Wu thought the same thing, so they followed Shu Yan and Tao Yao.
"Your Highness, Fifth Prince." Shu Yan and the others did not stand close, keeping a distance of about two meters from the sofa.
This is the social distance that two unfamiliar superpowered individuals tacitly agree upon between each other.
The head bodyguard standing next to the Fifth Prince was also a seasoned veteran. He instantly understood that the young master of the Shu family was maintaining this distance because he had no intention of befriending the Fifth Prince.
Si Yi's gaze swept over Shu Yan and Tao Yao's intertwined hands. He raised his head and slowly said, "Young Master Shu, please forgive my appearance."
His leg was pricked by the carnivorous flower's branches, causing him to lose a lot of blood.
Although the healing-type ability user Bai Guang was slowly healing his wounds, he was unable to recover from the blood loss in a short time. His lips were slightly pale, but his expression still maintained the manners expected of a member of the royal family.
"No one could have predicted the unexpected incident at the venue. The Fifth Prince remained calm and composed in the face of the emergency. We are still learning from him, so how could we be laughing at him?"
Shu Yan's voice was flat, with a humble, official tone, but his face showed no sign of wanting to learn.
"Fifth Prince," Shu Yan continued directly, "we have a banquet to prepare tonight, and it's getting late, so we'll be leaving now."
With that, he nodded slightly, then pulled Tao Yao and turned to leave decisively.
The bodyguards surrounding Si Yi: "..."
Let's be honest, the person in charge of tonight's banquet hasn't said they need to go back and prepare. As someone attending the banquet, isn't it a bit too perfunctory for you to leave with this excuse in front of the person in charge?
Watching the group leave through the hall, Si Yi asked his bodyguard, "How many evolved beasts did they kill in the three hours they were inside?"
He almost couldn't help but ask Shu Yan if he and the girl holding hands were about to get married.
Given the current level of their relationship, it would have been beneath royal decorum for him to ask such a question just now.
"This..." the bodyguard said, "Everything inside the building is strictly confidential, and I don't know either... but judging from the way the bodyguard following Young Master Shu just now looked, he must have fought quite a few evolved beasts."
"Is Shu Yan's mental strength level really only S-level at the moment?" Si Yi asked again.
The group stayed in Hall 2 for 3 hours, but when they came out, they looked exactly the same as when they came in, as if not a single hair on their head had been messed up.
This situation can only mean that the evolved plants and animals in Hall 2 pose no challenge to them at all; it seems that an S-level mental power ability alone could not have made it so easy.
The head bodyguard is just a bodyguard, not a private investigator or a paparazzi, so of course he wouldn't know the standard answer to this question.
He paused, "The netizens and information on the StarNet all say that Young Master Shu's level is S-level."
“Heh,” the Fifth Prince scoffed, “Those keyboard warriors on the StarNet even say that the Shu family’s wealth rivals that of our imperial family, and that Shu Yan owns more than two mining planets.”
Chief Bodyguard Zhou Yuan: "..."
Emma, please put down those royal eyes that are perched on the top of your head and take a good look with a magnifying glass, okay?
The price of that hair clip on Miss Tao's head is probably equivalent to a year's allowance from the royal family!
Don't ask him how a grown man knows the price of a girl's hair clip!
The question is about my spendthrift wife. She just drooled over this hair clip on her head yesterday and then made sarcastic remarks about me:
Royal bodyguard? With your meager salary, you couldn't afford a hair clip even after ten years of work.
He said, "How could it be a hair clip?"
Why would a hair clip be set with a 50-carat moonstone?
He wouldn't dare buy even a single button that big!
The Tao family is so wealthy that it's outrageous. The Shu and Tao families have always been business partners within the alliance.
So what if the only young master of the Shu family owns two mining planets? Isn't that perfectly normal?
Who told the Shu family to only have one junior member, while your royal family has a total of fifteen brothers and sisters!
The wealth accumulated by three generations of only sons is certainly not on the same level as the rare sum of fifteen times fifteen over three generations!
The bodyguard was internally screaming, but he couldn't express it on his face or in words.
He twitched his lips, and could only tearfully and aggrievedly say, "I will go and investigate Young Master Shu's ability level again later."
Tao Yao and Shu Yan, who had already left, were of course unaware of the Fifth Prince's probing into them and their girlfriends.
After the group stepped out of the gate, Xia jogged over, opened her personal terminal, pulled up a receipt, and reported to Shu Yan: "Young Master, the total amount from the sale of the evolved beasts in the museum today has been settled. Shall we transfer it to your account now?"
“No need,” Shu Yan glanced at the bill projected in front of him, “Just allocate the Star Coins to Chen Xing and Ruan Wu respectively.”
"Oh, okay." Xia didn't think there was anything wrong with this operation. He knew very well how strong his young master's money power was, so he turned around and walked to the two of them to start transferring money.
If the venue fee hadn't been waived today, the Star Coins in his account would have already been used to offset the venue rental cost, and Shu Yan would have had to pay the remaining rental fee out of pocket.
"Huh?" Ruan Wu was a little confused, but also pleasantly surprised. He nervously ran his fingers through his hair. "You're going to give us the star coins?"
That would be so embarrassing.
"Yes, there's no venue fee today. You guys were the ones who fought these evolved beasts anyway, so it's perfect to give them to you," Shu Yan said.
