780 Eighth Prince (2/2)

”You shouldn't ask what you shouldn't. When you arrive, you will naturally know what it is.”

Luo Ye's tone became colder. Langye failed in his goal, but in a show of sensibility, he dared not ask any further.

*****

At the Embroidered Uniform Guards' commanding post, Langye was led by Luo Ye and went into a mansion with a grand presence.

This mansion was a property of the eighth prince in Beijing. The Embroidered Uniform Guards standing at the door were all Inaction Realm elites, and the eighth prince was currently the highest-ranking commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guards!

Langye became even more shocked.

When he arrived at the backyard, the Embroidered Uniform Guards told him to wait before he went inside to make a report.

Langye nodded mechanically.

In truth, this was the first time he came here as well, and it was also the first time he met the legendary eighth prince. It was only natural for him to feel nervous and excited. He stood outside the door apprehensively while he waited to be summoned.

”Come in.”

The voice inside was lackadaisical but awe-inspiring. Even though the voice was not loud, when Langye heard it, he felt as if thunder had just clapped by his ears.

The door opened.

Luo Ye came out and gave him a look as a gesture for Langye to go in.

”Understood.” Langye gulped nervously and smoothed out his clothes before he cautiously walked inside. All the while, he felt so nervous that it made him dizzy, and it felt as if he was floating.

The people in the imperial court were completely different from the wandering martial artists.

The wandering martial artists cared about was their presence. Their gazes, presence, and giving off an imposing air. Usually, when they looked over, they can give off an air of freedom that will make them seem unfathomable.

But those people in the imperial court, especially those like the eighth prince, who have always been above others in terms of rank and had royal power in their hands which allowed them to control the world of martial artists gave off a majestic presence naturally. Their pride and might came from within their soul, and they were born with it. Anyone who came before the eighth prince will feel as if they were born inferior to him.

That was what Langye currently felt.

Even though the eighth prince was currently being served by a few beautiful women while he laid against his chair in a very lackadaisical manner, he looked incredibly ostentatious and was like a man who lived indulging himself in the high life. He did not seem powerful, but when he looked over and saw Langye scrutinizing him in shock, Langye looked as if he was struck by lightning. He quickly lowered his head and did not dare look at him anymore out of fear.

”Is he the martial artist you said was rather famous in the world of martial artists?” The eighth prince cast Langye an indifferent glance before he soon his eyes away while he said these words to the person beside him.

Aside from the eighth prince the handful of beautiful women in the lavish, extravagant, and pompous hall, there were also two strong men who were built like hills standing beside him.

One of them was the leader of the Embroidered Uniform Guards.

The leader swept his gaze over Langye before he said firmly, ”Your Highness, it is him. This boy is pretty good. Even though his qi realm is not high, he can fight against the subordinates who are of average skill. He is a pretty good seed among the Embroidered Uniform Guards. This time, we can let him join our mission at the borders, and he might be able to enter His Majesty's sights.”

The eighth prince did not answer. He opened his mouth and had a beautiful woman place a purple grape into his mouth, but his eyes landed on the man who stood beside the leader of the Embroidered Uniform Guards. He looked very focused.

The man was built like a hill. He had a suit of armor on him, and there was a shockingly fierce air about him. When he stood inside the house, it caused Langye to feel a great pressure, even though that pressure was intangible.

”What do you think, General Luo?”

The general who was like a hill finally looked away and cast Langye a glance. ”Since this is the candidate the leader recommended, I will naturally have no comments about it. But this mission is very important. I hope that he can lead the Embroidered Uniform Guards to perform meritorious deeds and gain glory for His Majesty. Don't let those wandering martial artists snatch our limelight.”
