Chapter 228: The Grandson of the Great Qian Dynasty, Who Would Dare To Bully Me?

Upon hearing that voice, Princess Xu Yang, who was in the carriage, immediately stood up.

“Father wants to see me for something?”

“He knows I’m back?”

Princess Xu Yang seemed a little curious. She had just returned to the palace and yet her father suddenly asked to see her.

“Your Highness, His Majesty has already learned of your return, so he sent me here to inform you that he’s waiting for you in the Heart Calming Hall.”

The servant outside the carriage said while kneeling on the ground.

Upon hearing his words, Princess Xu Yang fell silent for a while before answering.

“Okay, wait a moment.”

After Princess Xu Yang said these words, she turned around and looked at Su Changyu.

“Senior Su, I have something important to handle. I’m afraid I can’t accompany you for the time being, why don’t you get some rest in the chamber? I’ll be right back.”

Princess Xu Yang looked at Su Changyu and said.

After all, Su Changyu was her life savior. She initially planned to set up a banquet to thank Su Changyu, but she did not expect to be summoned as soon as she returned to the palace.

That was the reason why she informed Su Changyu, lest he thought she was impolite.

“It’s alright.”

Su Changyu nodded. What he wanted to do most now was to leave the Great Qian Dynasty, not stay here.

As long as he could leave the Great Qian Dynasty, everything else would be fine.

However, Xu Jin interjected at this moment.

“Your Highness, that’s a little inappropriate, isn’t it?”

“How can you just let another man into your chamber? If you’re present, it wouldn’t be too bad, but if you’re not, you have to pay attention… Otherwise, if word gets out, it’ll probably…”

Xu Jin looked at Princess Xu Yang and reminded her.

Upon hearing this, Princess Xu Yang frowned. It wasn’t the first time she felt that he was problematic.

However, at this moment, Li Changqing suddenly spoke up.

“Brother Xu makes sense. Your Highness, you really shouldn’t let just anyone enter your chamber at will. Besides, you’re not around, so you shouldn’t let anyone barge in easily.”

Li Changqing chimed in.

Xu Yang was the princess of the Great Qian Dynasty and indeed she had to follow the rules in various matters. Otherwise, she would be embarrassing the Great Qian Dynasty and not just herself.

It was especially so since Su Changyu was from the Great Xia Dynasty.

Hence, Li Changqing agreed with Xu Jin, which was rare of him.

“Since that’s the case, please take Senior Su for a walk around the palace, Brother Changqing.”

Since Su Changyu couldn’t go to her chamber, he could take a stroll around the palace.

“There’s no problem with that, but I have an errand to run so there’s nothing I can do.”

It was not that Li Changqing was targeting Princess Xu Yang nor did he hate Su Changyu, but he really had something important to do.

As soon as he said that, Xu Jin couldn’t help but speak up immediately.

“Your Highness, why don’t you let me take Senior Su for a walk around the palace?”

The fact that Xu Jin took the initiative to help was rather puzzling.

However, Xu Jin was indeed the only one left and the rules in the palace were strict too. If they let Su Changyu stroll around by himself, it was possible that some unnecessary trouble would happen.

Thinking of this, Princess Xu Yang couldn’t help but look at Xu Jin.

“Since that’s the case, I’ll have to bother you, Xu Jin. Senior Su is my benefactor. If anyone tries to stop him in the palace, please remember to remind them that if anyone dares to provoke Senior Su, I will not let them off.”

Princess Xu Yang felt that there must be something amiss because Xu Jin had taken the initiative to help. However, regardless of what it was, Xu Jin was the only one left at present so she had no other choice.

However, she nevertheless reminded him that Su Changyu was her life savior.

It was obvious what she meant. She was just trying to tell Xu Jin not to harbor any improper thoughts or ill intentions against Su Changyu. If he tried to harm Su Changyu, she definitely wouldn’t let him off.

“Of course, please rest assured, Your Highness.”

Xu Jin answered with a smile.

“Okay, I’ll have to trouble you then.”

Princess Xu Yang then looked at Su Changyu. “Senior Su, I’ll be right back, please pardon me.”

“It’s alright.”

Su Changyu had never been to the palace before so he felt that it would be good to take a stroll around it.

However, he could sense that Xu Jin definitely wasn’t that kindhearted and that he probably had an ulterior motive.

However, he wasn’t afraid either. What kind of trouble could arise from taking a walk in the palace?

That was also the reason why Su Changyu agreed.

After hearing Su Changyu’s answer, Princess Xu Yang didn’t waste any more time and immediately left the carriage together with Li Changqing.

Su Changyu and Xu Jin were the only ones left in the carriage.

Xu Jin looked at Su Changyu with a fake smile.

“Senior Su, why don’t I take you to the Heavenly Fragrant Garden to enjoy the scenery?”

Xu Jin suggested bringing Su Changyu to enjoy the scenery.

“Alright.”

Su Changyu answered indifferently.

Xu Jin stood up immediately and left the carriage with Su Changyu.

Soon, they reached the Great Qian Dynasty palace.

Su Changyu and Xu Jin walked side by side.

Xu Jin indeed explained everything clearly to Su Changyu along the journey, which really surprised him.

After all, he thought that Xu Jin was going to deliberately make things hard for him, but to his surprise, he didn’t do that at all. Instead, he even explained things to him patiently, making Su Changyu feel slightly ashamed.

Xu Jin did not do anything throughout the journey to the Heavenly Fragrant Garden.

Instead, he patiently introduced the scenery in Heavenly Fragrance Garden.

It was indeed worthy of being a palace. As soon as he entered Heavenly Fragrance Garden, he saw various types of flowers.

“Senior Su, this is a Frost Condensation Flower. As long as you shake it slightly, you will be able to condense white frost. It can also act as an antidote to poison. Just a single petal will do the trick.”

“Senior Su, this flower here is called the Heavenly Heart Flower that blooms once every 100 years. Once it blooms, the Heavenly Heart Fruit will be born. One Heavenly Heart Fruit can save you a hundred years of comprehension.”

“It is also the national flower of the Great Qian Dynasty. Senior Su, look in the northwest direction, is there a beam of divine light?”

Xu Jin pointed to the northwest and asked.

Su Changyu looked to the northwest, and indeed, there was a beam of divine light darting into the sky.

“What is that thing?”

Su Changyu asked but there was no curiosity in his eyes and tone.

“That’s the Heavenly Heart Divine Flower, which is rumored to have been bred by two King of Heavenly Heart Flowers.”

“The king of Flower Kings. Senior Su, guess how much this Heavenly Heart Flower is worth?”

Xu Jin asked with a smile.

‘How much?’

Su Changyu did not make any guesses.

However, after thinking about it carefully, he thought that it would probably be worth a few hundred Spirit Stones.

After all, it just looked so different.

“A most ordinary Heavenly Heart Flower is worth a million Spirit Stones.”

“On the other hand, the value of a Flower King cannot be measured using Spirit Stones, but there’s a saying in the Great Qian Dynasty that goes, one Heavenly Heart Flower is better than a million armies. The Great Ze Dynasty was once willing to trade a million mighty soldiers for a Heavenly Heart Flower King of our Great Qian Dynasty.”

“It’s not an exaggeration to say that that divine flower is the national luck of the Great Qian Dynasty. It bears fruit once every 3,000 years, and the fruit it bears is said to have supreme divine effects. Rumor has it that one can save 5,000 years of hard cultivation after eating it.”

“If nothing goes wrong, the divine flower should bloom and bear fruit soon. Senior Su, if you’re lucky, you can come and take a look for yourself. It’s really spectacular.”

At the mention of the Heavenly Heart Flower, Xu Jin seemed to be extremely proud as he rattled on and on.

On the other hand, Su Changyu looked into the distance, feeling extremely tempted.

‘Save 5,000 years of hard cultivation?’

‘What concept is that?’

‘If I eat it, won’t I soar even higher?’

‘I won’t have to pretend to be impressive all day then.’

However, Su Changyu knew that it mattered greatly to the Great Qian Dynasty so he wouldn’t dream about it.

“This divine fruit should be prepared for the Crown Prince of the dynasty. When the Crown Prince ascends to the throne and swallows the divine fruit, the fortunes of the Great Qian Dynasty will soar again.”

Xu Jin said seriously, his eyes full of envy.

He continued to show Su Changyu around the Heavenly Fragrance Garden.

Along the way, Su Changyu stayed calm on the surface, but deep down, he was extremely shocked and overwhelmed by the various precious flowers.

However, while he was not realizing…

An entire hour later, Su Changyu was suddenly stunned.

The reason being…

He discovered that he seemed to have gotten lost.

“Ah… this!”

Su Changyu froze on the spot.

He never thought that he would get lost in a garden.

“Brother Xu?”

“Where are you?”

“I’ll treat you to tea, are you there?”

Su Changyu felt a little perplexed while he was in the garden.

‘I actually got lost in a garden. My sense of direction is terrible.’

‘Loss of sense of direction?’

Su Changyu was a little confused but it was not like him to freeze on the spot. Since he had gotten lost, he thought that he might as well walk around. In case he got lucky, he would profit greatly if he found the way out.

At the thought of this, Su Changyu began finding his way out.

In the dark, Xu Jin watched everything quietly.

Yes, Xu Jin didn’t lose Su Changyu at all. He had just deliberately gone missing.

It was all Xu Jin’s conspiracy.

Xu Jin didn’t have a good impression of Su Changyu. After all, who would be nice to their rival in love?

However, Xu Jin left Su Changyu alone, not only because he wanted him to lose his sense of direction.

He wouldn’t be bothered to resort to such lowly tricks.

There were only two exits, one leading to the Zhaixin Hall and the other leading to the Heavenly Fragrance Garden.

The exit of Heavenly Fragrance Garden was a five-minute walk away. Not to mention Su Changyu, even if Xu Jin did not go to the palace often, he probably wouldn’t know how to go there either.

Hence, if nothing cropped up, Su Changyu would definitely go to the Zhaixin Hall.

If he went to Zhaixin Hall, it would be entertaining.

Everyone in the entire palace knew that the empress would go to the Zhaixin Hall every month to pray for the Tenth Prince to be blessed.

The blessing required one to be sincere in praying. Hence, regardless of the palace maids or the eunuchs, or even the emperor, no one would disturb her.

There was a favored eunuch who accidentally disturbed the empress when she was praying and was since demoted to an ordinary eunuch.

The empress of the Great Qian Dynasty was extremely gentle and kind-hearted, but no one dared to offend her when it came to praying.

Xu Jin’s idea was also very simple. Although Su Changyu was not a royal of the Great Xia Dynasty, his clothes were evidence of his relation to it.

If he disturbed the empress when she was praying, Su Changyu would definitely be chased out of the palace.

Of course, Xu Jin did not intend to kill Su Changyu. After all, Su Changyu saved Princess Xu Yang, so at most he would be expelled from the Great Qian Dynasty’s Palace.

As long as Su Changyu left the Great Qian Dynasty Palace, there would be no need to worry about Princess Xu Yang having a change of heart.

That was Xu Jin’s conspiracy.

At the thought of this, Xu Jin couldn’t help but smile.

However, he was cautious and followed Su Changyu all the way.

Five minutes later, Su Changyu finally saw an exit.

The words ‘Zhaixin Hall’ were written at the exit.

At this moment, Su Changyu couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief.

Xu Jin, who was in the dark, was gritting his teeth.

The exit of the Zhaixin Hall was not far at all, but Su Changyu spent five minutes finding it. He really had a poor sense of direction.

However, he had fortunately found his way to the Zhaixin Hall.

When Su Changyu entered the Zhaixin Hall, a figure immediately appeared in front of him.

It was a teenager.

He was about thirteen or fourteen years old and had a tender and puerile face. However, he was quite handsome and when dressed in a light golden robe, he seemed rather refined and noble.

“Hold it right there!”

The teenager’s voice sounded as he stood in front of Su Changyu. At such a young age, he had already developed such a refined elegance.

He stared at Su Changyu and frowned.

“This place is not for a servant like you to enter, go back.”

The young man sounded indifferent and arrogant.

However, what he said next made Su Changyu frown.

He wanted to ask him for directions just now.

However, he didn’t expect him to have such a foul mouth.

‘He called me a servant?’

‘Has he never suffered a beating before?’

Su Changyu stared at the teenager, but before he could answer, the latter continued to speak.

“Did you not hear what I said? This place is not for a servant like you to come. Get out now or don’t blame me for being merciless.”

“Also, what’s your name? Who brought you here?”

His voice was puerile, but he had an arrogant face that made him seem repulsive.

Su Changyu frowned. He didn’t like such children in the first place, especially those of wealthy backgrounds like him.

However, after thinking about it, he realized that they were in the palace and since the teenager dared to say that, he probably wasn’t to be trifled with.

Su Changyu didn’t want to provoke him, and after thinking about it, he turned around and left.

In the dark…

Xu Jin, who had been observing, couldn’t help but be vexed after he saw that scene.

‘Why did this guy come out of nowhere?’

Xu Jin frowned.

He knew who that young man was. It was the grandson of the emperor.

It was the person the emperor pampered the most.

After all, he was his grandson.

He was usually arrogant and domineering in the palace and no one dared to provoke him at all.

That made Xu Jin feel dismayed.

Su Changyu had initially already entered, but in the end, he was driven away by the grandson.

His plan had failed.

Xu Jin was very upset.

However, watching Su Changyu leave, the grandson of the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty, Fang Li, couldn’t help but continue to curse.

“Who gave you permission to leave? Did I say that you can leave?”

“Also, you actually didn’t kneel down when you saw me. You’re very brazen, eh? Are you courting death?”

When he watched Su Changyu leave, Fang Li couldn’t help but curse loudly as there was anger written all over his puerile face.

Su Changyu, who had already gotten ready to leave, suddenly stopped in his tracks.

He had a calm temperament and usually wouldn’t get angry.

However, at this moment, he was a little furious.

He turned around.

Su Changyu stopped in front of Fang Li again.

The latter thought that Su Changyu was there to explain something.

Su Changyu looked around.

He confirmed that there was no one around.

In the blink of an eye, he clenched his fist and punched the recalcitrant child on his face.

‘Damn it.’

‘I always get defeated by others but I can definitely beat up a kid.’

‘Bastard.’

‘If you had a significant cultivation level, I’d be a little scared of you.’

‘But you’re just a recalcitrant child, how dare you bully me?’

‘Watch my fist.’

In the dark…

Xu Jin was dumbfounded.
