Upon hearing Li Zhu's words, the man did not speak immediately, but instead looked at something behind him, which made him somewhat impatient!
"Just say what you have to say..."
"Your Highness, you're not the only one in this hall..."
The man said meaningfully!
Upon hearing the other party's words, Li Zhu was stunned. This guy was a master! To know that the Marquis was here, his strength was absolutely overwhelming...
This made Li Zhu even more hesitant to let the Marquis leave. If the other side made a move, without the Marquis present, he would be doomed...
"Besides me, there's you, isn't there? Of course, it's not just one person, it's two people..."
Li Zhu laughed it off.
"Your Highness, if I wanted to kill you, even if he were here, it wouldn't matter..."
Before Li Zhu could speak, a cold snort rang out in the air. Clearly, the Marquis's pride had been insulted. How could he swallow such an insult from a young man?
The temperature inside the hall suddenly dropped, making Li Zhu feel the killing intent emanating from the Marquis. Faced with the Marquis's oppressive aura, the man merely waved his hand lightly, dissolving the Marquis's killing intent into nothingness. Then, he casually tapped his finger in mid-air, and Li Zhu heard a muffled groan behind him...
It was clear that the Marquis had suffered a loss in this clash…
This made Li Zhu realize that the opponent's strength was indeed strong enough to kill him instantly. Whether the Marquis was here or not, it really made no difference!
Having figured this out, Li Zhu immediately burst into laughter and said...
"Haha... I was just joking, why take it so seriously..."
After saying this, he turned and gave the order to those behind him.
"Your Highness, you may leave now..."
"Yes, Your Highness!"
After the Marquis left, Li Zhu looked at him and said...
"Now that everyone's gone, can you talk to me about what you need to say?"
However, the other party did not speak immediately, but pointed a finger at Li Zhu, which caused Li Zhu's body to lose control immediately and become unable to move, as if some force had imprisoned his body!
This terrified Li Zhu, who inwardly cried out, 'It's over, I'm going to die here…'
However, Li Zhu did not sense any killing intent from that finger strike. In an instant, Li Zhu realized that the other party was testing him...
But there was nothing he could do; he could only watch helplessly as the other person did whatever they wanted to him…
However, his gaze had already shifted from initial panic to calm composure. Since the other party had no intention of killing him, he might as well leave a good impression!
A dragon's roar resounded from his body, and the next moment his body regained its freedom. The man withdrew his fingers as if he had done nothing at all!
"The Dragon King's Ring is indeed on you..."
The man muttered to himself.
"Who are you?"
Li Zhu couldn't help but ask, his initial nonchalance completely gone. This was someone who could take his life at any moment. If he angered this person, he would be dead. He had just transmigrated here and didn't want to die like this...
"I am your younger brother..."
"Impossible, my mother never told me I had a younger brother..."
Even though he had already guessed that the other party was an illegitimate child, Li Zhu still refused to believe it, because it was very likely that his cheap father, the emperor, had stolen someone else's wife!
"Just because my mother didn't say it doesn't mean it didn't happen. After all, she doesn't want to recall that painful memory either..."
The man seemed to be recalling something, paused for a moment, and then continued.
"My name is Nangong Niannian, and I am also my mother's son. However, I was sent away from my mother when I was young, so you don't know me..."
"I will confirm this with my mother. Until then, you can stay in the Eastern Palace..."
Li Zhu did not choose to acknowledge the other party immediately; he needed to confirm their identity!
"That's natural, but I won't stay in the Eastern Palace, as that would expose my presence. However, I will intervene if you are in danger..."
After Nangong Niannian finished speaking, she turned to leave, giving the impression that she had come and gone in a hurry!
"Wait, what was that force that just immobilized me?"
Li Zhu hurriedly asked, as he knew too little about the combat strength of this time and space, and needed to understand it clearly once he encountered it!
"This power originates from the spirit. You are not controlled by me, but merely suppressed by my spirit. If your spirit is strong enough, you will not be affected by my spirit..."
Nangong Niannian explained!
Li Zhu was also greatly shocked. Strange things happen every year, but this year there seem to be more than usual. Can spiritual power also be cultivated?
Perhaps sensing Li Zhu's confusion, he continued to explain.
"When your military strength reaches a certain level, many problems will naturally be solved, and these are things you can't access right now..."
Li Zhu rolled his eyes at him. According to you, I am your older brother. How can a younger brother despise his older brother like this?
With a dark expression, Li Zhu watched Nangong Niannian leave, pondering the other party's intentions for appearing at this time. According to the other party, he had not been by his mother's side since childhood, and now he suddenly appeared, not to mention his great strength, it was hard not to suspect his motives!
"Little monkey..."
Li Zhu couldn't help but shout loudly. Thinking about what this guy had said—claiming to be a top expert of the era, yet claiming that anyone could easily defeat him—was this what top experts were like? He even started to doubt if the guy was a complete fraud…
"Your Highness, I am, after all, the head of the inner and outer marquises. If you address me like that, my brothers will laugh at me..."
Hou Wang said somewhat helplessly, he knew that Li Zhu would definitely not have a good time after he found out his nickname. In the past, out of respect, Li Zhu always called him Hou Wang, but now that he had been crushed several times, Li Zhu had no respect for him at all, and even doubted his strength...
"You have the nerve to say that? If I were you, I'd just find a crooked tree and hang myself..."
"Anyone can bully you, and you still have the nerve to ask me to call you 'Lord'? Next time, if you can defeat that man, I'll call you 'Lord'; otherwise, I'll call you 'Little Monkey'..."
Li Zhu vented all his anger on the Monkey King, and afterwards he felt much better...
"It's not my fault..."
The Marquis said with some grievance, "Who would have thought that after following Li Zhu, I would encounter so many masters so frequently? When I was by the Emperor's side, I didn't encounter so many masters even in a whole year!"
"Whose fault is it if not yours? It's all your fault for being useless..."
Li Zhu retorted without any hesitation!
The Marquis fell silent. He had truly been utterly crushed; he was also frustrated by the sudden appearance of so many powerful figures…
Li Zhu thought about it and decided that he still needed to go to his mother to confirm the matter. If it was true, he really needed to pay more attention to this suddenly appearing younger brother...
