Translator:?EndlessFantasy Translation?Editor:?EndlessFantasy Translation

Yunxiao looked up calmly. There was no fear on his face, only the eternal serenity and a pair of starry eyes. “What an imposing manner, Martial King Xiao!” he said in a flat tone.

Everyone sucked in a cold breath and looked at each other in horror. This boy was really looking to die! He was really out of his mind!

Li Baifeng, who was in the main banquet hall, hurriedly stood out and bowed. “Commander Xiao, Yunxiao is too young and ignorant. I hope you can forgive him for the sake of the Old Master…”

“Haha!”

Xiao Qingwang suddenly burst out laughing, then strode over and sat down directly next to Yunxiao as he slapped the latter on the shoulder and said, “As Li Chunyang’s heir, you do have his demeanor! Haha! Why can’t I have such an interesting child? Well, I’ll call you Young Master Yun from now on!”

All people present were drenched in cold sweat. Since when had Xiao Qingwang become so accommodating?

Xiao Qingwang picked up a leg of lamb on the table and began to nibble at it. “Young Master Yun, can my injuries be cured?”

Yunxiao ate the meat in silence.

Xiao Qingwang almost choked and whispered, “Boy, don’t go too far! I’ve already given you enough face!”

Yunxiao also moved his lips slightly and said in a low voice, “Give me enough face? Fu*k! Your slap just now has broken the bone in my shoulder! Do you dare to say that wasn’t intentional? The pain is so much that my face is already turning blue, and I can only keep drinking to hide my embarrassment!”

He looked thoughtful and then said, “I just thought of a solution, but you’ve scared it out of my mind.”

The crowd, who had just collected their wits, fell to the ground once again.

Xiao Qingwang laughed inwardly as he watched Yunxiao’s face break out in a cold sweat with pain, but he still assumed a serious look on the outside and said, “Then how can you remember it?”

“Drink. You drink with me first and we will talk about the treatment of your internal injuries later.”

“Fine, let’s drink!”

Xiao Qingwang picked up a wine glass and slapped Yunxiao on the shoulder again. Looking at the latter’s instantly pale face, he laughed and said, “I’ll get drunk with you today!”

After such a long commotion, one of the two main characters for the feast had left while the other was sitting in her seat unhappily. The merry atmosphere of the feast was no longer there.

The only highlight of the night was Yunxiao, who was once a laughing stock. He finally entered the eyes of everyone ceremoniously, and no one dared to underestimate him anymore. Lan Xuan, who was sitting behind Lan Hong and watching all this in silence, suddenly felt less grievance that he was defeated by this guy.

Moments later, Qin Zheng also stood up and said that he felt tired, which concluded the feast. The crowd got up and bid farewell to each other, and everyone nodded slightly to Yunxiao as they left. Even Lan Hong smiled and told him that the Li Family finally had a worthy heir.

Ruxue ran straight over with a pair of red eyes and said, “Thank you, Yunxiao!”

Yunxiao smiled. “Don’t mention it. It’s something that needed only a slight effort.”

Her temperament seemed to have changed. She said nothing but nodded her head slightly before leaving with the maids and eunuchs.

After greeting Xiao Qingwang, Li Baifeng asked Yunxiao, “Yunxiao, are you going back with Fourth Uncle or do you have other plans?”

Yunxiao waved and said, “Fourth Uncle, you all can go back first. However, this is not over yet.”

Hearing what he said, Li Baifeng paused for a moment as if in thought and then left with a group of men. Xiao Qingwang seemed to think of something, too, and there was a flash of anger in his eyes.

Yunxiao secretly took a few pills and the pain on his shoulder was greatly reduced. He then rose to his feet and said, “Commander Xiao, I’ll take my leave first. When I remember the solution, I’ll tell you.”

Xiao Qingwang said, “Fine, I’m always waiting for you, Young Master Yun. Don’t forget!” It had not been a day or two since he had the internal injuries, so he was not in a hurry. After downing the wine in his glass, he laughed and left as well.

Now, even the way Chen Zhen and Han Bai looked at Yunxiao had changed completely. Chen Zhen was overwhelmed with admiration as he exclaimed, “Young Master Yun, even Xiao Qingwang is convinced by you! How proud I am to be your brother! How did you know the Blue Water Dragon Eye Pill was poisonous?”

“Yeah, Master, you are really good! How could you know it was poisonous from such a distance?” Meng Bai looked adoring as well.

Yunxiao snorted softly and said, “It was a real Blue Water Dragon Eye Pill, and it wasn’t poisonous.”

“What!” The few people’s faces fell, all looking incredulous. Meng Wu, on the other hand, seemed to think of something and she stared at Meng Bai in horror.

“It’s not convenient to talk here. Let’s talk as we walk,” Yunxiao said.

As soon as they left the palace, he told them about Meng Bai’s Heaven Earth Venomous Body. After hearing that, even Meng Bai himself was shocked, not to mention Chen Zhen and Han Bai.

Han Bai wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said admiringly, “Young Master Yun, you are really bold! I can’t believe you dare to play such a trick in front of so many people…One careless mistake would have doomed you!” At the same time, he secretly felt happy. Since Yunxiao was willing to tell them such secret matters, he naturally regarded them all as his confidants.

“Is that Young Master Yunxiao of the Li Family?” Suddenly a voice came from a distance, and then a figure trotted over with a palace lantern. “My Master wishes to talk with Young Master Yun.”

Yunxiao glanced over. Not far ahead was a large palanquin carried by eight men, carved with patterns of dragons and phoenixes on its surface and brightly lit inside, where a figure was seen pouring and drinking all by itself. He said coldly, “It’s getting late and I’m sleepy. Another day.”

“Haha! Although it’s getting late, the night is still young for a good friend. I consider myself worthy to be Young Master Yun’s good friend, but I wonder if Young Master Yun will give me the honor?” A man’s voice came from the distance. It was actually the second prince, Qin Yue, and his voice was vigorous, obviously signifying his strength.

Yunxiao responded in a flat tone, “Even if we are good friends, I am not interested in being alone with a man in the middle of the night.”

Qin Yue laughed. “It’s simple. Each of my eight maids is as pretty as a flower. I’ll ask them to pour wine and sing for us while you and I drink together. Don’t you think this is a good idea?”

Yunxiao pondered for a while and then said, “In that case, it’s worth meeting you.” He told Han Bai and the others to go back first and then walked toward the palanquin.

Everyone around Qin Yue was outraged. Yunxiao was saying that it was worth meeting if there were beautiful girls, and if there were not, even the second prince was not worthy for him to meet. But, Qin Yue was too broad-minded to care about this little detail. As long as Yunxiao was willing to come and see him, he would be pleasantly surprised. He quickly chose two of the most beautiful maids to serve in the palanquin.

The inside of the palanquin looked wider and more comfortable than the outside. It was obviously luxurious, and even though there were four people inside at that moment, it was not crowded at all.

Only then did Yunxiao take a closer look at the prince. In addition to his handsome appearance, he also had a graceful bearing and spirits. This was quite rare among members of the royal family. What was even rarer was that Qin Yue was only one year older than him.

Qin Yue also studied Yunxiao with a thoughtful look on his face. A brief moment later, he smiled and said, “The rumors are really too false. I can see that Young Master Yun has an extraordinary demeanor, and something is hiding deep inside you.”

Yunxiao smiled faintly and said, “Your Highness, you flatter me! From Your Highness’s face, I can see a vague dragon aura between the eyebrows. This is the look of a true dragon.”

Qin Yue was taken aback. He did not expect Yunxiao to be so direct, but he immediately laughed and said, “Commander Bai said that I would certainly meet the benefactor of my life tonight, and my journey will be smooth from now on. At first, I didn’t believe it, and I wonder…if Young Master Yun is the benefactor of my life?”

“The most mysterious commander of the State Guardian’s third unit, Bai Mou?” Yunxiao said in surprise. “It is said that he has the ability to read faces and prophecy, and he is also an expert in the art of astrology. Is that true?” Yunxiao did not know much about astrology. In his previous life, he had met several almighty experts, who could indeed see the past and the future.

“Of course, it is true!” Qin Yue clapped his hands, and an extra figure immediately appeared in the palanquin. A woman covered in white gauze sat quietly in a corner with her eyes slightly narrowed.

Amazed, Yunxiao said, “So Commander Bai is a woman?” He then smiled faintly and went on, “Your Highness, it is enough to have such a capable person as your benefactor. I don’t want to take part in any coup.”

Clang!

A maid, who was filling a glass of wine, was so frightened that her hand trembled, and the golden wine bottle in her hand fell to the floor, spilling the wine all over the place.

Qin Yue’s eyes grew cold, and a killing intent filled the whole palanquin. The main turned pale with fear and quickly knelt on the floor to clean up the mess. Her body was shivering and tears were dripping off her cheeks. The other main was also pale. After hearing such a rebellious conversation, they knew that they would not live for long.

Bai Mou, who was sitting in the corner without saying a word, suddenly said, “Young Master Yun, you are a brave man, more than I expected. Prince Yue will definitely be the monarch of the state of Tianshui in the future. If you can help him, it will also be of great benefit to the Li Family. Are you going to turn a blind eye on the difficulties that the Li Family is facing right now?”

Yunxiao was lost in thought. Initially, he had no intention of dealing with the things faced by the Li Family. But after all, his body was raised by the Li Family, and inside him flowed the blood of the family. Moreover, as long as he regained the strength of his previous life, it would be easy for him to help the family separate from the state or even establish its own state.

But, he suddenly remembered that before he died, in the Tiandang Mountains…

If he could not even protect his own life one day, how would he protect the Li Family? Looking for a backer and guarantee for the family would be his gratitude for being born as one of them. He sighed and said, “I want Prince Yue to promise that as long as you live, you will ensure that the Li Family will enjoy prosperity, prestige, and peace forever.”

Qin Yue’s eyes narrowed slightly, then he laughed and said, “Fine! I will give you this promise! As long as I am still alive, and as long as the Li Family has no intention of rebellion, I will make sure that the Li Family will enjoy prosperity, prestige, and peace forever!” After making his promise, he sighed softly. “The Li Family has made a great contribution to the state. This is what we should have done. Too bad that my father…”

Yunxiao said, “When all hares are killed, the hounds will be stewed and eaten, and when the birds are gone, the bow will be cast aside. This has been the case for all dynasties. Now that I have promised to help Prince Yue, let me know if there is anything I can do.”

Qin Yue said quickly, “Young Master Yun, you can rest assured, I’m not a man who will cast aside the bow once the birds are gone.”

Yunxiao was noncommittal. As long as he regained his strength, Qin Yue’s promise would be nothing, unless he died again. If that happened, the promise would serve as insurance for the Li Family.
