Chapter 31 Once More Advancing

Everyone’s expressions changed when they heard those words . Fatty Yu cursed, “What idiot woman is that? Get out for daddy!”

Just as he finished, a table whistled over from the corridor, smas.h.i.+ng towards them .

But it suddenly stopped in midair . Long Chen had grabbed it, and with a flick of his hand, he sent it flying towards the staircase .

A woman had just walked out over there . She had a disdainful expression and that table had clearly been thrown by her .

To actually first throw a table to smash them and then walk out, what a lofty manner .

But she hadn’t expected that the table she had thrown would actually be smas.h.i.+ng back at her with over ten times the force . Just the gale force created by the table made it hard for her breath .

It had happened too quickly and it was already too late for her to dodge . If she was. .h.i.t by it, she would definitely end up with some broken bones .

The table suddenly blew apart . A man with a blade scar appeared in everyone’s eyes as he protected the woman .

When everyone saw him, their expressions once more changed as they recognized him as the personal bodyguard of the Grand Xia’s prince .

The scarred man was startled to see Long Chen and he narrowed his eyes, saying, I didn’t expect to run into you again so soon . ”

Although he had managed to break apart that table, he had not managed to completely disperse the force . A heavy footprint was left on the floor, showing that he had misjudged Long Chen’s strength .

“No way around it . I am a young person after all . Gotta act energetically and more forward bit by bit every day . I can’t compare to someone as amazing as yourself who has already planted himself down . I, however, still have a long path to travel,” he indifferently said .

The scarred man’s face darkened and he was just about to reply when another voice rang out . “Haha, it’s been a couple days but brother Long is still as suave as ever . ”

The Grand Xia’s prince Xia Changfeng slowly walked up with the same likable smiling face he has used before .

“It’s just a misunderstanding . Let me introduce you to my sister, Xia Baichi,” smiled Xiao Changfeng .

Long Chen’s jaw dropped . So this crazy woman was actually a princess!

So this was the reason grandmaster Yun Qi had told him to be careful around her .

“Hmph, now you know how great the difference between us is!” Xia Baichi sneered at Long Chen’s shock .

He shook his head . “Yes, we really are quite different . Even if I trained for ten thousand years I wouldn’t be comparable to an idiot like . Xia Baichi, what a great name . ”[1]

“You!” Her eyes practically spit out flames .

Not only Xia Baichi, but even Xia Changfeng’s eyes turned cold for a moment before he smiled, “Ok, now that everyone knows each other, I wonder what you were talking about before for it to get this lively?”

Fatty Yu were naturally a bit uncomfortable with the Grand Xia’s prince here . After all, he was a prince, and the difference in status was too great .

They weren’t as obstinate as Long Chen and didn’t dare say anything out of place to him . No one said anything for a moment .

Xia Baichi sneered, “I heard these toads insulting the third princess and who she would marry . But funnily none of them knew my brother has already given a betrothal gift to the Empress Dowager to win the third princess over . For these guys to put their sights on my brother’s fiancée, they really are courting death . ”

Long Chen’s expression changed at that news . He coldly asked Xia Changfeng, “Is this true?”

“Long Chen, control your att.i.tude,” warned the scarred man .

“No matter . ” Xia Changfeng waved his hands at the scarred man . He smiled at Long Chen, “The reason I came to the Phoenix Cry Empire this time was because my father ordered me to propose to the third princess . Since the Empress has already agreed, we should be able to quickly set a date . If brother Long has time in the future, I invite him to come to my Grand Xia for the wedding feast . ”

Who knew whether Xia Changfeng was doing it on purpose, but his expression towards Long Chen was one of a victor looking pitifully on the loser .

Did he know? Long Chen couldn’t help being worried despite knowing that Xia Changfeng was purposely provoking him .

But his anger still rose up uncontrollably . Maybe if he was doing this without knowing the truth then it would be fine .

But Long Chen knew that there was a conspiracy around Chu Yao . Those strange spiritual energies within her had left behind a seed of power . It appeared someone had come to finally take it now that it was ripe .

Although the person who had set them in place wasn’t Xia Changfeng, he was the one benefitting from it, so he was definitely a partic.i.p.ant . He must know many secrets .

Thinking about his own experiences, he wondered whether his situation had anything to do with Xia Changfeng . The probability was definitely high .

His killing intent boiled when he thought of the conspiracies around him and Chu Yao . But now still wasn’t the time to take action . He still had to get stronger .

Only the tip of the iceberg had been revealed to him now . He still wasn’t in control, so he needed to endure . Keeping this in mind, his anger was quickly replaced with calm .

Seeing Long Chen’s angry expression suddenly fade, Xia Changfeng’s heart shook slightly . The caution he felt towards Yao Chen increased; enemies who could control their emotions were the truly terrifying ones .

“Brother Xia, I don’t think you should propose to the third princess . ” Long Chen shook his head .

“Huh? Why?”

“I’ve studied the secrets of fate . When I did some calculations for you, I realized brother Xia’s name contains the word ‘wind’, while the third princess’s name contains the word ‘forest’ . Wind will destroy the forest, so it’s not good for the third princess . ” Long Chen was watching Xia Changfeng’s expression . [2]
