Chapter 518: 18. The Wind and Snow Mountain River Road, Alone to the Wan Jian House

Translator: 549690339

Late winter, New Year.

The Five Sects of Green Peak did not agree to the Wan Jian House’s request, and both sides had already agreed to fight. In the end, the sect that protected the Qi Kingdom discovered that even after developing for 200 years, it was still far inferior to the Wan Jian House. It lost all three battles.

Immediately after, the Crown Prince held the jade seal in his hand and rode a thousand -li horse to the Wan Jian House to pay his respects to the sect master.

It had been more than a month since he left.

The capital’s New Year was decorated with lanterns and streamers. Firecrackers rang out and fireworks bloomed. Children played and chased each other. Everyone changed into new clothes and walked on the streets.

Xia Ji was fifteen years old.

He had completely adapted to the way he lived as a human. Moreover, his strength had become stronger and stronger over the years, and he had become more and more determined in his heart.

As for running out and saying that he was the Headmaster, only a fool would do it.

He still didn’t know where the nine forefathers were. The world was so deep.

He was no longer related to Su Tian by blood, so he was completely unaware of her attitude.

And if you say that you are the Headmaster, will others believe you?

Besides, what kind of monster was a person who was dragged away by the source of calamity and disappeared for a thousand years before returning?

People’s hearts changed easily, and there were many people who went back on their words, let alone after a thousand years.

Whether he believed it or not, or tried to prove it, it was equally stupid .

This was because this was a universe where one person’s power and one person’s Dao could dominate the world and cover the entire universe.

Xia Ji vaguely remembered the mythical stories in his previous life. Among the Three Pure Ones, Tongtian and Yuanshi had many disciples, but their strength was not as good as their Eldest Brother. Eldest Brother and Hongjun were average. They avoided those secular affairs and pursued their own Dao.

After the New Year.

The Crown Prince had returned from his trip to the Wan Jian House.

It was still tragic.

The Myriad Sword Sect Master didn’t just need a single person to pay his respects, but all the members of the Da Qi Imperial Family. As a punishment, the Sect Master ordered all the members of the Da Qi Imperial Family to arrive within ten days.

Everyone was stunned, not knowing what to do for a moment.

This ten thousand mile journey…Qi Xiu would probably die halfway.

Moreover, they had to travel more than 10,000 li in ten days. In the middle of the journey, there were rugged mountain roads, frozen waterways, mountain bandits, evil cultivators, and so on. This was simply fatal.

At this time, the Seventeenth Prince walked out and said that he was willing to go alone to resolve the matter.

Naturally, his words were not reliable, but the commander actually vouched for him.

With Great Commander Jin speaking, the weight of the words instantly became much heavier.

Everyone looked at the solemn look on the commander’s face and guessed that this mysterious expert might have an old friend of the Wan Jian House, which was why he sent his disciple there…

Thinking of this, the royal family of Qi heaved a sigh of relief.

No one thought about anything else.

First of all, no one would deliberately send themselves to their deaths.

Secondly, the Seventeenth Prince was not a young and impetuous person.

Moreover, even if the Seventeenth Prince was foolish, the Grand Commander was not. He was confident that he would be able to do so. Moreover, it seemed like he did not even plan to go. It was obvious that his relationship with the Wan Jian House had reached a certain level.

Even Hua Xiaochan did not think too much about it when she saw her son’s calm appearance. She only reminded him repeatedly to be careful on the road. She also wanted to ask the emperor to arrange for some guards to set off with him. After all, it was her son’s first time going on a long journey. He did not know how dangerous and complicated the martial world was.

Xia Ji smiled and said that he was fine.

Hua Xiaochan was still worried. Moreover, Qi Xiu had also planned to send a thousand experts to protect her.

After that, Xia Ji told Little Su to take care of the house and left a letter. He then took the imperial seal of the Qi Kingdom and left the capital that he had stayed in for fifteen years.

If he wanted to leave, who could catch up to him?

When Qi Xiu discovered it, she immediately sent people to search everywhere.

However, by the time the thousands of riders left the city, Xia Ji was long gone.

At this moment, in the Imperial Palace.

Crown Prince Qi Heng had suffered a crushing defeat in the Fenglai Kingdom and humiliation in the Myriad Sword Sect. He was drowning his sorrows in alcohol.

One failure could destroy a person, let alone two.

The fact that he was not destroyed and could still drink here was already a testament to his strong temperament.

However, he had begun to doubt himself. Suddenly, a report came from outside the court.

“The Empress has arrived

Qi Heng didn’t get up, he just poured himself a cup and drank the bitter wine.

Soon.

A dignified and imposing woman wrapped in a golden phoenix robe walked into the courtyard.

This was the Empress.

The Empress dismissed the accompanying eunuch and sat alone across from the Crown Prince. She said coldly, “”Look at what you look like now.”

Even if the Crown Prince had a stomach full of anger and grievances, he would not vent it with his mother, so he sighed.

“Do you feel that all the glory has been snatched away by Seventeen?” the Empress suddenly asked.

The Crown Prince raised his head in shock. Your son does not have such intentions.”

The Empress looked at him deeply and said in a low voice, “”Today, Mother will tell you a secret. With this secret, you will have a bargaining chip. You don’t have to worry about Seventeen anymore.”

She took a deep breath and whispered, “”Your seventeenth brother was a little sick when he was born. I asked the palace maid to carry him to see the imperial doctor. In the end, the palace maid accidentally dropped the baby into the lotus pond.

Mother was helpless, so she quickly sent someone to find a boy among the people to act as your seventeenth brother. In the end, she found a boy who had been abandoned by the river.

Therefore, your seventeenth brother is not a member of the royal family of Qi State, and the blood of the royal family does not flow in his body. He is just an ordinary abandoned baby in the mountains.” The Crown Prince was dumbfounded..
