C.1242 – The Crown Prince’s Mansion

Chapter 47 The Crown Prince’s Mansion

Thank you readers!

Three days later, the day when the Crown Prince of the Nine Spirits Tribe would meet Yi Gao arrived.

On this day, with excitement, Yi Gao, accompanied by Ding Hao and other personal guards, went to the Crown Prince’s Mansion with the treasures ready to be presented to the Crown Prince.

Not only Yi Gao but also the guards were extremely excited upon thinking that they would be arriving at the Crown Prince’s Mansion today and seeing the grand Nine Spirits Tribe’s Crown Prince.

Evil Moon, the Fat Cat in Ding Hao’s arms, was extremely indifferent at this time. It yawned all the way. In this world, nothing could catch the eye of this Demon King. Evil Moon naturally did not care about the Crown Prince of a clan.

Roughly an hour later, the sky gradually darkened. The appointed time to meet the Crown Prince was drawing near. Yi Gao and the rest arrived at the entrance of the Crown Prince’s Mansion.

Yi Gao politely handed over the invitation card issued by the Crown Prince. After the guard looked at the invitation card, he respectfully invited Yi Gao and others into the Crown Prince’s Mansion and personally led the way for them.

Within the Crown Prince’s Mansion.

Rather than a mansion, it was more like a city. The towering buildings and thick walls all displayed the majesty of the Crown Prince’s Mansion.

From a distance, there seemed to be some kind of unknown power hidden in the winding corridors, giving off an invisible sense of oppression.

Strict momentum arose spontaneously.

If it wasn’t for the Crown Prince’s men leading the way, the guards wouldn’t dare to walk around the Crown Prince’s Mansion alone.

The corridors were filled with a strict atmosphere. The soldiers on both sides were standing majestically. Looking carefully, these people were at least at the God Realm peak stage.

As expected of the Crown Prince’s Mansion, it was a place where martial arts experts were commonly seen.

In the corridor where there were strictly hidden tactical deployments, under the gaze of the experts, the guards following Yi Gao were already trembling with fear. Although they tried their best to restrain their fear along the way, their instinctive reactions drove them to look around.

Although Young Master Yi Gao had always been calm, he couldn’t help but tremble in a place like the Crown Prince’s Mansion. Even though he didn’t appear as pitiful as the guards, the unnaturalness in his actions was still obvious. In addition, the beads of sweat on his forehead indicated his feelings at this moment.

Only Ding Hao was still as calm as ever. It seemed that nothing in the world could attract his attention.

At a glance, Ding Hao saw all the mechanical tactical deployments in the Crown Prince’s Mansion.

After running his power a bit, Ding Hao studied those mechanical tactical deployments a little and found that although the inscription tactical deployments in this world were different from those in the Heaven Path world, they were almost the same when he explored the origin of the inscriptions.

It was like they arrived at the same end by different means. The inscription tactical formations of the two worlds were essentially the same.

This gave Ding Hao a deeper understanding of this world.

After a while, they finally passed through the corridor and came to the reception room of the Crown Prince’s Mansion.

The reception room was decorated in a different way. Whether it was the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, the flowers placed all over the corners, or the arrangement of various furniture, they all showed a sense of elegance.

Yi Gao also inadvertently wiped away the sweat on his forehead. At this moment, his emotions were filled with excitement and nervousness.

The purpose of Yi Gao’s visit to Nine Spirits City was to meet the Crown prince. He hoped to become his subordinate and thus ensure the prosperity of the Yihuo Tribe. Now that he was about to meet the Crown Prince, it could be said that his plan was half done.

Everyone set aside their complicated feelings and waited quietly in the reception room, waiting for the arrival of the Crown Prince.

In the inner hall.

“Military Counselor, what do you think of this man?” A clear voice rang out.

The sky gradually darkened and the candles were not yet lit. Under the somewhat dusky sky, a heroic-spirit-filled face with two sharp eyebrows showed up. His determined and sharp gaze shot toward the crowd.

This man was the current Crown Prince of the Nine Spirits Tribe, Rong Fu.

“Well, his bearing is steady and his aura is as deep as an abyss. He’s far superior to the others. This man is absolutely not someone to be trifled with. If his background is clean, you should make friends with him and rope him into the Crown Prince’s Mansion, Your Highness.”

The person standing beside him was Crown Prince Rong Fu’s trusted military counselor, Wusun Liuce. He stroked his long beard as he slowly replied.

At this moment, the old military counselor looked out of the window with a deep gaze. He seemed to have fallen into a state of deep thought, and he seemed to be carefully evaluating something particularly delicate and rare.

It turned out that as soon as Ding Hao and the others entered the Crown Prince’s Mansion, all their words and deeds had been seen by the two. The Crown Prince and the military counselor were carefully observing Ding Hao and the others in the inner hall’s magic formation, especially Ding Hao.

Of course, Ding Hao had long discovered the two people hiding in the dark when he was looking for the source of the tactical deployment.

“Military Counselor, can you tell exactly how strong this man is?” The Crown Prince continued to ask the military counselor.

“What the spies reported is naturally true. This man was able to fight against all the enemies by himself and easily defeat a True Immortal Realm expert. His strength truly can’t be underestimated.”

The military counselor paused for a moment and then continued, “However, if I were to speculate his true strength, I fear that it would be extremely difficult for me to tell it. Just now, when we were in this tactical deployment, secretly observing his every word and action, I fear that he might have long sensed it. The mysteries of this tactical deployment naturally couldn’t be hidden from him.”

The Crown Prince was surprised, and there was a hint of disbelief in his tone. He said, “Military Counselor, you have studied inscription tactical deployment for decades, and you refined this tactical deployment with your whole life’s efforts. How could it be seen through by this man at a glance?”

Wusun Liuce wryly smiled, but soon after, his expression became serious. “This man has soundlessly blocked off all interference from the tactical deployment. He seems to be able to notice the key points of the tactical deployment, intentionally or unintentionally. His abilities are far above mine.”

Crown Prince Rong Fu immediately laughed softly and said, “Since he’s such a talent, I must definitely recruit him and make him work for me. We can’t have anyone else hire him. Military Counselor, are you confident in being able to keep him?”

Military Counselor Wusun Liuce said, “Everyone has their value. Your Highness, you lack nothing. At present, as long as we know what this man wants, we can naturally pay the corresponding price. Then, he can work for you.”

“You truly know what I want, Military Counselor.” The Crown Prince said politely, “I’ll have to trouble you to make him loyal to the Crown Prince’s Mansion.”

Wusun Liuce had been the Crown Prince’s lecturer when he was young, and he was in charge of teaching the Crown Prince other things besides martial arts. He was very knowledgeable, well-informed, and well-versed in the ways of the world. That was why he was appreciated by the Crown Prince.

When Rong Fu realized that there were open and secret struggles between the royal tribes, he kept Wusun Liuce by his side and discussed everything with him. Wusun Liuce did not disappoint the Crown Prince, and he was able to deal with every single matter appropriately.

With the help of Wusun Liuce, Crown Prince Rong Fu had been able to secure his position for so many years. As such, Wusun Liuce had quite a bit of status within the Nine Spirits Tribe.

At this moment, the two of them were still discussing something when a guard outside the inner hall reported that Yi Gao and his men were already waiting in the front hall. Only then did Crown Prince Rong Fu and the military counselor depart for the reception room.

In the reception room.

“The Crown Prince has arrived!”

“The Crown Prince… the Crown Prince is here!”

A loud voice rang out, immediately attracting everyone’s attention in the reception room.

When the Crown Prince and the military counselor finally appeared, Yi Gao was so excited that his hands were unconsciously trembling. He hurriedly stood up from his chair. Before the Crown Prince could approach him, he cupped his hands and said, “I’m Yi Gao from the Yihuo Tribe. Greetings, Your Highness!”

A handsome young man came from the direction of the inner hall with a smile on his face. As soon as he entered the reception room, he presented the demeanor of a graceful scholar, followed by an old man with a serene look.

Seeing Yi Gao bow, the guards standing to the side didn’t dare to remain unmoved. They all lowered their heads and cupped their fists in unison. “Greetings, Your Highness!”

Ding Hao also stood up quietly and cupped his hands to the Crown Prince.

The Crown Prince walked up to Yi Gao in a few steps and helped him up. He said in a clear and gentle voice, “There’s no need to stand on ceremony. Please rise!”

As he helped Yi Gao up, Crown Prince Rong Fu looked around at Ding Hao and said, “You don’t have to be so courteous either. Rise and take a seat.”

The legendary king of the Nine Spirits Tribe, the high and mighty Crown Prince Rong Fu, turned out to be so approachable, without the slightest arrogance that a Crown Prince should have.

Yi Gao’s personal guards were all shocked to hear the Crown Prince’s gentle words. He was such a high and mighty person, and he spoke to them in such a gentle manner. They felt an unprecedented sense of affirmation and importance.

When the Crown Prince helped him to his feet, Yi Gao felt like he was being treated in a way beyond his imagination. It was almost as if the Crown Prince favored him. He had never imagined that he would receive such a warm reception from him.

“Although the Crown Prince is young, he has the demeanor of a wise king…” Ding Hao looked at the man and nodded secretly in his heart. The Crown Prince of the Nine Spirits Tribe was so gentle and polite, which was beyond his expectation.

This was the charm of the Crown Prince. For a long time, he had treated anyone who was not an enemy as a friend. This was also the reason why he had been able to firmly take the position of Crown Prince.

Behind the Crown Prince, Military Counselor Wusun did not speak at all. Besides looking at everyone when he first entered, he lowered his head slightly, as if attracted by the fat cat lying on the chair.

“Meow!” Evil Moon, the Fat Cat, glanced at the old man and ignored him. It cried out as if it were yawning.

This sound caused Yi Gao to recover from his excitement.

Yi Gao respectfully said to the Crown Prince, “Your Highness, I have long heard of your benevolence and virtue. The Yihuo Tribe has admired you for a long time. It is truly my honor to be able to meet you today.

“Before we left, my father asked me to tell you that we’re willing to offer this item to you, Your Highness. If you don’t mind, the Yihuo Tribe will follow and serve you to the death!” Yi Gao went straight to the point, speaking determinedly. At the same time, he didn’t beat around the bush and expressed his intention.

Having said that, Yi Gao took out an item, causing Crown Prince Rong Fu’s eyes to light up. Military Counselor Wusun Liuce also nodded repeatedly.
