Looking at Fourth Prince Dai Chengfeng, who was singing and laughing in the rain outside the palace gate as he left.
Emperor Dai An of the Star Luo Empire was infinitely amazed in his heart, speechless for a long time.
"What a phrase, 'I will surely surpass my ancestors!'"
"What a phrase, 'If I become the White Emperor in the future, I will make peach blossoms bloom in one place!'"
At this moment, a woman in red slowly walked out from the side hall, looking at Dai Chengfeng's back and sighing softly.
"With such a son, Your Majesty should be happy!"
Looking at the woman, Dai An shook his head and sighed, "How could I not know?"
"With golden spears and iron horses, his ambition is to swallow a thousand miles like a tiger!"
"This is the Spirit that an emperor of my Star Luo Empire should have!"
"It's just a pity..."
"What I admire most is Chengfeng's young age yet such great Spirit, but what gives me the biggest headache now is also this, alas!"
Dai An rubbed his temples, "Clearly, as long as he followed the ancestral methods step by step."
"With his innate full Soul Power and formidable talent, he will definitely become a Title Douluo in the future, and even a Peerless Douluo is not impossible."
"But he..."
"Insists on the wild idea that his ancestors were wrong? It's simply absurd!"
Dai An looked helplessly at the woman in red, "High Priest, what do you think I should do?"
Hearing this, the woman in red smiled and said, "Your Majesty, didn't you just announce the abolition of all of Fourth Prince's titles and fiefs, and exile him to Wu'an City?"
"And that he cannot return to the capital without your permission?"
Hearing this, a hint of awkwardness appeared on Dai An's face, "High Priest, the reason I said that just now was merely to scare him."
"As long as he was willing to admit his mistake to me and promise not to act recklessly in the future, this matter would have been over."
"But who knew that brat wasn't afraid at all!"
The woman in red shook her head, "Actually, I think Your Majesty can turn a pretense into reality."
"Fourth Prince's ambition is now like steel, but being too rigid is easy to break. A little tempering might not be a bad thing."
Hearing the woman's words, Dai An was thoughtful, "High Priest, you mean..."
The woman smiled and nodded, "Exactly!"
"A place like Wu'an City often sees rivers of blood. Not to mention a six-year-old child, even ordinary Soul Venerables and Soul Sects can't adapt."
"Therefore."
"As long as a master is sent to ensure His Highness's safety, letting him stay there for a few days might not be a bad thing."
"By then, His Highness should clearly realize the cruelty of the World."
"Naturally, he won't naively think that his understanding of Martial Soul at such a young age can surpass his ancestors."
Dai An's eyes lit up, "Wonderful!"
"Chengfeng's sharpness is indeed too keen, it really needs to be tempered properly."
Thinking this, Dai An looked at the imperial guards in front of the hall again, "My previous order will continue to be carried out. At the same time, spread the word..."
"Fourth Prince Dai Chengfeng of the Star Luo Empire, due to his reckless behavior, caused the first Soul Ring he absorbed to go against his White Tiger Martial Soul. He is now half-crippled, which is why I demoted him to Wu'an City."
"Also, issue an order to the Zhu Family head to take Zhu Zhuqing back. The public explanation will be that they disliked Chengfeng being crippled and voluntarily broke off the engagement."
"As for the conversation between me and the High Priest, it must not be leaked to anyone, including Davis and Mubai and their relatives."
"Otherwise, you should know the consequences."
Instantly, the imperial guards knelt on one knee again and respectfully said in a loud voice, "Your Majesty, rest assured, your subordinates understand!"
Dai An nodded in satisfaction.
After all, those who could become his personal imperial guards all had some degree of kinship with him.
And the Zhu Family head is also a smart person; he will understand the thoughts in his heart.
Therefore, Dai An wasn't worried about the plan being leaked.
As the imperial guards left with the order.
"A crippled prince whose engagement was broken off, haha..."
In the main hall, Dai An looked at the High Priest with a smug face, "This way, as a crippled prince, Chengfeng will no longer be so eye-catching."
"Moreover, I imagine Chengfeng will be greatly affected by this."
"With this strong medicine!"
"High Priest, how many days do you think Chengfeng can last before admitting his mistake to me and begging for my forgiveness?"
The woman in red thought for a moment, "I think with His Highness's sharpness, it might take a week."
"But why do I think that brat will definitely come to admit his mistake in at most three days? Haha..."
Thinking of his own brat who dared to talk back to him just now, who would be scared witless by the environment of Wu'an City and cry and beg for his forgiveness, Dai An felt secretly smug.
"I still don't believe I can't handle you, you little brat?"
...
...
...
One day later.
Because of the instructions from Emperor Dai An of the Star Luo Empire.
In just one short night...
The matter regarding Fourth Prince Dai Chengfeng, who was originally the most likely candidate to become the next Star Luo Emperor, becoming crippled due to a problem with his Martial Soul, and subsequently having his engagement broken off by the Zhu Family, had completely fermented.
The entire capital of the Star Luo Empire knew about it.
And perhaps the most excited were Davis, who was originally almost out of contention for the throne, and Dai Mubai, whose fiancée was snatched by Dai Chengfeng.
At this moment.
In front of the capital city gate of the Star Luo Empire, the bustling crowd was as busy as usual.
At this time.
A simple and old carriage slowly drove out, its wheels rolling on the stone road, making a dull sound.
The eyes of the common people were drawn over, and there was a stir in the crowd.
Someone pointed at the carriage, lowering their voice but unable to hide their gossip.
"Look, that's the carriage of the crippled Fourth Prince, Dai Chengfeng!
Before, he was infinitely glorious, considered the designated next Star Luo Emperor.
But in just one night, he not only became a cripple but also had his engagement broken off by the Zhu Family... Truly, the World's affairs are unpredictable!"
Everyone discussed, their tone full of the pleasure of seeing someone who was once high above fall into the dust.
Above the city gate tower.
Looking at the dilapidated carriage below the city wall, Davis's eyes were full of mockery.
"My dear younger brother, you are truly pathetic now!"
"Such a good opportunity for succession, yet you just gave it up for nothing!"
"When I succeed and become the next Star Luo Emperor in the future, I hope you won't regret your arrogance and foolishness today, haha!"
And not far away, Dai Mubai, perhaps because he was still young, had not accepted his fate and given up on the competition for the throne.
He was also watching his biggest competitor exit the stage...
"Before, I was actually going to have my fiancée snatched by such a fool?"
Dai Mubai shook his head with a sneer, "Clearly, only by following the ancestral Soul Ring absorption pattern can the shortcomings of the White Tiger Martial Soul be compensated to the greatest extent. You actually don't believe it and even try to prove that your ancestors were wrong?"
"How could the ancestors be wrong!"
Looking at the faint glow of his first Soul Skill, White Tiger Barrier, lighting up on his body, Dai Mubai's eyes were full of confidence.
"Heh heh, just you wait!"
"Next time we meet..."
"My good younger brother, your older brother will bring Zhu Zhuqing and make you understand the gap between you and me!"
At this moment.
Zhu Fan was driving the carriage, listening to the mockery from the crowd.
He gritted his teeth, turned his head with a frustrated expression, and said unwillingly to the inside of the carriage, "This is truly... A dragon trapped in a shallow pond is played with by shrimp, and a tiger that falls to flat ground is bullied by dogs!"
"Actually, Chengfeng."
"If you are willing to admit your mistake to His Majesty, His Majesty will definitely forgive you, and they will also know who the real clown is..."
"Enough, Uncle!"
Before Zhu Fan could finish speaking, Dai Chengfeng's voice calmly sounded from inside the carriage, "One day, the World will understand me."
"As for their words?"
Dai Chengfeng lifted the curtain and looked at the people outside the window who were excitedly gossiping and mocking, "It's just a bit of wind and frost."
Lowering the curtain, Dai Chengfeng's voice remained calm, "Let's go."
"Wu'an City, the battlefield, perhaps that is precisely where I will truly rise!"
