Bang!
With a deafening roar, a palm print of true essence, emanating from the depths of the royal residence, struck Gongsun Ba's giant hand of true essence, blasting it apart and unleashing a powerful shockwave that swept outwards at breakneck speed.
The surrounding crowd was forced to retreat.
Some people with insufficient cultivation were even blasted away.
Only Lin Feng stood still, completely motionless!
The terrifying shockwave that could have directly killed a mid-level Grandmaster struck him like a gentle breeze, having absolutely no effect!
The crowd in the chaos didn't notice this, but Gongsun Ba saw it very clearly!
"Hmm? Didn't the intelligence from within the clan say that this kid is a sixth-level Grandmaster? How come the shockwave just now couldn't shake him... Could it be that the experts at the royal inn helped him? That's right, that must be it! Otherwise, how could this kid, with his mere sixth-level Grandmaster cultivation, withstand such a powerful shockwave! Damn the inn guards!"
Seeing Lin Feng's reaction, Gongsun Ba was somewhat surprised. After a moment's thought, he assumed he had guessed the correct answer. He then frowned, looked into the depths of the inn, and said in a deep voice, "I am Gongsun Ba, the fifth son of the Gongsun family!"
"This man killed my son, Gongsun Le. I hope my friends inside will do me the honor of taking him away!"
When he spoke, he held his head high and spoke in a very firm tone, showing no sign of asking for favors.
It was as if he didn't respect even the guards in this royal guesthouse.
Seeing this, Lin Feng did not rush to make a move.
The rule of this royal guesthouse is that you cannot act arbitrarily.
Now that he has entered the post station and the people there have already spoken on his behalf, it is naturally inappropriate for him to break the post station's rules.
"Oh, who is this? Such a temper! It's the Fifth Master of the Gongsun family!"
The old man who had just made his move did not respond to Gongsun Ba; instead, a young man's calm voice rang out.
Everyone immediately looked in the direction of the sound.
Lin Feng also turned around to look with some curiosity.
"That voice...could it be...His Highness the Second Prince?"
Gongsun Ba was also slightly startled and immediately focused his attention on the direction.
Then, a handsome young man dressed in a long golden robe embroidered with dragons walked out with a leisurely and composed air, gently waving a folding fan.
"It is His Highness the Second Prince, Li Menglong!"
"To actually see His Highness the Second Prince, I'm so lucky today!"
"That kid's got the luck!"
"That's right. Since His Highness the Second Prince has personally intervened, even Gongsun Ba should have to give him some face, right? In that case, that kid's life should be saved!"
As the young man in the dragon robe approached, the crowd began to discuss among themselves.
"The Second Prince? Li Menglong? No way? He's even more handsome than me? That's outrageous!"
Lin Feng was also very surprised when he saw the Second Prince's appearance.
Without exaggeration, this Second Prince Li Menglong is definitely the most handsome guy he has ever seen!
The other person's features were so exquisite that they were practically flawless; there wasn't a single blemish to be found.
Before meeting this person, Lin Feng thought he was already incredibly handsome.
But after meeting this person, he could only admit defeat.
If this person were a woman, Lin Feng believed that she would definitely become an unparalleled super beauty!
Therefore, for a moment, he even began to doubt his own sexual orientation.
Most importantly, this person's cultivation level was unfathomable, even Lin Feng couldn't see through it!
"Even a Grandmaster at the peak of the ninth level shouldn't be someone I can't see through, right? Could he be a Grandmaster at the great perfection of the ninth level? Or perhaps a half-step King? Are all the princes of the Great Jin Kingdom this powerful?"
Lin Feng thought to himself.
"Ahem, my friend, don't stare at me like that. Although I know I'm a bit too handsome, there's no need to stare at me like that. This prince isn't gay!"
At this moment, the Second Prince Li Menglong walked up to Lin Feng and said with a joking smile.
"Uh... I was rude, please forgive me, Your Highness!"
Lin Feng smiled awkwardly and bowed apologetically.
"Hehe, it's alright, it's only human nature. This prince is used to it and can understand!"
The Second Prince, Li Menglong, gently stroked the hair at his temples and smiled calmly.
"..."
Seeing the other person's effeminate and charming movements, Lin Feng couldn't help but tremble. He quickly looked away and dared not look directly at her again, for fear that he might actually develop some kind of homoerotic relationship with her.
"Greetings, Your Highness the Second Prince!"
At this moment, Gongsun Ba outside also hurriedly bowed and greeted him.
Although he was arrogant and domineering, he still had to show due respect to the Second Prince of the Great Jin Kingdom.
"Greetings, Your Highness the Second Prince!"
The members of the Gongsun family behind him, as well as the crowd of onlookers, all bowed in salute.
"No need for formalities, please don't stand on ceremony!"
The Second Prince, Li Menglong, smiled calmly and waved his hand.
"Your Highness, may I take this person away?"
Gongsun Ba immediately glared at Lin Feng and said urgently.
"Uncle Gongsun, you know the rules of the royal guesthouse! If he were outside, everything would be fine, but now that he's here, he's under the protection of our royal family! You want to take him away in front of me? That's making things a bit difficult for me!"
The Second Prince, Li Menglong, frowned, closed his folding fan, and tapped it in his hand, looking quite troubled.
"Your Highness, you should know very well how my father treated you... Now that his grandson has been murdered, can't you make an exception just this once for my father's sake?"
Gongsun Ba said with a gloomy expression.
Upon hearing this, everyone's faces showed amusement, and at the same time, their gazes toward Lin Feng were filled with regret.
Although Gongsun Ba did not say it explicitly, many people in the capital knew that the civil officials, led by his father Gongsun Laozu, were supporters of the Second Prince!
Whether the Second Prince can become the Crown Prince and inherit the throne of the Great Jin Kingdom in the future depends entirely on these people!
Therefore, since Gongsun Ba has brought up his father, the Old Ancestor Gongsun, it is highly likely that the Second Prince will make an exception and allow Gongsun Ba to take Lin Feng away, out of respect for the Old Ancestor Gongsun!
Lin Feng naturally understood the underlying meaning and couldn't help but frown slightly.
He wasn't afraid of Gongsun Ba and the others, but if the Second Prince were to support them, things might become a bit troublesome!
"Ancestor Gongsun has indeed treated me well, so I should give him face!"
The Second Prince still frowned, looking troubled. "The problem is, this person is here to participate in the imperial consort selection, and I am the host of this selection! If I hand him over to you, what will the other imperial consort candidates think?"
