Chapter 707: Tian Yuan! (1/2)
“I’m looking for Tian Fan.” said Lin Feng to the guards at the gate. There were four guards in front of him.
The four guards said sternly, “Tian Fan is our Young Prince’s teacher, guests are not permitted inside. Please leave! Thank you.” replied one of the guards, relatively politely. The guards from both East Lang Xie and West Lang Xie were quite strict.
Lin Feng knew they would say that before asking, so he had to find another solution.
“So, please go and call him. Tell him to come and meet me outside.” said Lin Feng. He took out a crystal and wrote a few things on it, then gave it to the guards.
One of the guards took it, read it, and looked at Lin Feng. That guard could see that Lin Feng wasn’t an ordinary person. He seemed mysterious and didn’t seem like the right person to offend. Better safe than sorry, so the guard decided not to cause trouble.
“Alright, wait here. I’ll hand this to Prince Tian Fan. I can’t promise he’ll come out, though.” said the guard, before running inside the palace. Lin Feng wasn’t in a rush and waited at the door calmly.
After a few minutes, the guard came back out and threw the crystal at Lin Feng, “Sorry, Prince Tian Fan is not here. He took out Young Prince away to train him. Please come back another time,” the guard waved him away.
Lin Feng inspected the crystal. It hadn’t been read by anyone else. Tian Fan really wasn’t there. However, Lin Feng didn’t have time to waste and it had taken him a little while to arrive so he just stood there thinking.
At that moment, a few men in fines clothes arrived, chatting and laughing. Very quickly, they arrived at the gate. When the four guards saw them, they hastily descended from the steps they were standing on and shouted respectfully, “Welcome back to the palace, Princes!”
“Lin Feng?”
The men didn’t pay attention to the guards. When they saw Lin Feng at the gate, they were surprised. The men hadn’t forgotten that Lin Feng had taught them a good lesson in East Lang Xie.
Lin Feng had already recognized these Young Masters. They were Jiang Yi Ze’s sons, Jiang Yi and Jiang Leng among them.
“My leisurely and carefree friends,” said Lin Feng, narrowing his eyes and smiling broadly. Jiang Yi’s hair bristled. He remembered Lin Feng had instructed them nicely.
“Lin… Prince Lin Feng… What are you doing in West Lang Xie?” asked Jiang Yi. He was initially going to say Lin Feng’s name directly, but then he had recalled their prior meeting and hastily called him using an honorific.
Lin Feng knew that these princes could help him get inside, so he said to them straightforwardly, “I want to see Tian Fan.”
Jiang Yi was surprised, but then he understood. The guards had prevented Lin Feng from entering the palace and Lin Feng had probably been waiting because he didn’t want to trespass on the palace’s property. Now that they had come back, he hoped they’d let him in.
Jiang Yi didn’t really want to let Lin Feng in, but he knew that if he refused, Lin Feng might bully them again. They couldn’t offend him. Jiang Yi Ze had even told them that if Lin Feng ever came to West Lang Xie, they’d have to welcome him as a guest of honor!
“Prince Lin Feng, please follow us,” Jiang Yi smiled. The others looked at Lin Feng respectfully as well. The four guards were startled, but they weren’t dumb, and immediately understood he wasn’t an ordinary person.
“Alright, thank you!” said Lin Feng, heading into the palace. Jiang Yi and the others sighed in relief.
“Let’s go,” said Jiang Yi, waving at the others to follow Lin Feng.
The guards were all astonished. When Lin Feng and the princes disappeared from their field of view, they finally came back to their senses.
“Lin Feng, Lin Feng, could it be that…?” Suddenly, a guard thought about something and his expression changed suddenly. The three others looked at him nervously. The guard said, “The teacher of East Lang Xie’s Young Prince is called Lin Feng.”
“You mean that he’s like Prince Tian Fan? He’s also one of the Young Princes’ teachers?”
“Indeed! It’s him. No wonder he was looking for Tian Fan. There are tensions between them,” the guard nodded.
“I hope we didn’t offend him,” said another guard anxiously. They didn’t know that Lin Feng hadn’t taken it to heart and didn’t care about them.

The interior of West Lang Xie’s palace was extremely complex. At the beginning, he was walking at the front, but in the end, he had to let Jiang Yi and the others lead the way. He followed them into a big hall.
