In the silence, Zhao Chengqian's seconds seemed like years.
"I already know." The cold voice came again.
Zhao Chengqian trembled all over, and his whole body was wet with cold sweat: "Father, please punish me! I didn't expect... I didn't expect..."
"This is a test given to you by the Emperor. You have passed the test by being able to come here!"
After hearing these words, Zhao Chengqian felt as if his soul was about to leave his body. There are no words more beautiful than these words.
As the only powerful person in the Infinite Realm in the Wild Wind Realm, even fools know how terrifying the Wind Emperor is!
And Zhao Chengqian knew deeply that the Feng Emperor's fear was not just about his strength! He himself was the most terrifying thing!
"Thank you, Father!" Zhao Chengqian said excitedly.
"Don't be in a hurry to thank me. You are the one who caused this problem. You have to find a way to solve it yourself. Old man Xingyuan doesn't even want to mess with me, but you actually dare to plunder his beard!"
Although his words were calm, Zhao Chengqian could hear Feng Huang's anger.
"Yes, I know I was wrong! Please... please give me some pointers, father!" Zhao Chengqian sweated profusely.
"You...think about it for yourself, this is also a test for you. Okay, step back." As soon as the words fell, there was no more sound in the hall.
Coming out of the main hall, Zhao Chengqian seemed to have experienced a life-and-death battle. His whole body was as if he had been fished out of water, soaked to the skin.
After returning to his residence, Zhao Chengqian secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, I didn't take any chances and admitted my mistake to my father, otherwise my end would have been tragic!
The Feng Emperor has never had the awareness to treat his son like a tiger is poisoned, and he has never had any compassion for him.
The fact that he had caused such a big trouble this time was at the critical moment when the army was setting out for battle. If this matter could not be resolved properly, he would still die in an ugly way.
Thinking of this, Zhao Chengqian couldn't help but have a headache.
What should we do to get the old man from Xingyuan to withdraw his sanctions against the royal family?
In the past few days, Zhao Chengqian had made inquiries from many sources and learned more or less about Xingyuan's personality.
This old man is usually very talkative, but once his reverse scales are touched, he is so terrifying that not even the Wind Emperor can stop him!
Obviously, I have touched his reverse scale!
Zhao Chengqian's thoughts couldn't help but fall on Ye Yuan. Did he really want to apologize to that boy?
But when he thought of Ye Yuan's proud look, Zhao Chengqian flinched again.
He felt that even if he apologized, Ye Yuan would definitely not accept it!
Where to go?
Suddenly, a night passed.
Zhao Chengqian just sat there all night without moving!
It was getting dark when Zhao Chengqian suddenly clenched his fist and stood up suddenly, as if he had made some determination.
…
It's already dawn, and the streets of the Central Royal City are bustling with people, always so bustling.
Suddenly, everyone dropped what they were doing and walked towards one place to watch.
I saw a young man with his upper body covered and a bundle of thorns on his back, walking forward step by step.
Such ostentatious things are rare in the royal city, so they naturally attracted the attention of many people.
"What is this man doing? What is he doing with a bundle of thorns on his back? Are you sick? Those are saw-toothed wood branches. There are cuts everywhere on the branches. If you tie them to your body and cut them into pieces, it will be no worse than being chopped into pieces with a thousand cuts.
How much!"
"Shh..., you want to die? That's His Highness the Seventh Prince! This is an ancient custom, which is to bear a thorn to plead guilty. Your Highness the Seventh Prince is going to plead guilty to others!"
"Ah? No, that's His Highness the Seventh Prince? Oh my god, who can make His Highness the Seventh Prince do such a thing and plead guilty? Doesn't he want to live?"
"Hey, who knows about this kind of thing? The Seventh Prince is the person who may succeed the Wind Emperor. The person who can make him do such things must be extremely powerful! Looking at the direction he is going, it should be Qixia Mountain
, and only that lord is qualified to ask His Highness the Seventh Prince to do such a thing as asking for forgiveness."
"Are you talking about...the Xingyuan Emperor? What on earth did His Highness the Seventh Prince do to anger that lord?"
"Hey, this is not what you and I can know."
There are more and more people watching, and Zhao Chengqian is already followed by an extremely large team.
However, they all knew how powerful the Seventh Prince was, so they just followed him from a distance and did not dare to get too close.
Zhao Chengqian himself, on the other hand, walked step by step towards Qixia Mountain without squinting his eyes.
By the time he reached the foot of the mountain, there was already a sea of people behind him, and he could not see the horizon at a glance.
"Ji Qing, I, the seventh prince, Zhao Chengqian, come here today to apologize to you!"
Zhao Chengqian spoke word by word and knelt down directly!
This sound must have been heard by the entire Qixia Mountain as Zhao Chengqian channeled his full energy.
Behind him, everyone burst into an uproar!
His Majesty, the Seventh Prince, actually knelt down!
"Who is Ji Qing? I've never heard of such a number one person in our central royal city!"
"I haven't heard of it either. Doesn't the Xingyuan Emperor only have seven disciples? It seems that there is no such person as Ji Qing, right?"
"Are you ignorant? A few days ago, the Xiao family and the Tong family held an elixir fighting competition. The Xiao family was already destined to be defeated. It was Ji Qing who turned the tide and defeated the Tong family's number one genius, Tong Wenchang, and saved the Xiao family! Moreover,
This Ji Qing did not win by a narrow margin, but with a crushing attitude, he beat Tong Wenchang until he couldn't even lift his head! I heard that he has been locked up by the Tong family and has become a complete invalid."
"Ah? Is there such a thing? Let me tell you, the Xiao family's stores have increased again these days, and such a big thing happened! In this way, this Ji Qing is really a person! Could it be that..."
"Yes, he has been accepted by Emperor Xingyuan and became his eighth disciple!"
"But...why would His Highness the Seventh Prince do such a thing and apologize to this Ji Qing?"
"I don't know about that! Tsk tsk, the heir to the majestic Emperor has suffered such a shame and humiliation. I'm afraid the days ahead in the Imperial City will be very interesting."
…
On Qixia Mountain, Shi Haoran looked at Ye Yuan with a smile and said, "Junior brother, Master's hand was so cruel that he actually forced the arrogant Seventh Prince to do this!"
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "It's his own fault."
Shi Haoran nodded, deeply convinced.
Ye Yuan has already told everyone what happened. Only a person like the Seventh Prince can kill people at the slightest disagreement.
It's just that he can kill some people if he wants to, but there are some people he can't afford to offend.
"Haha, this kid deserves it! But when do you plan to go down, little junior brother?" Tang Zhi, the chubby second senior brother, said with a smile.
Ye Yuan also smiled: "What's the rush? Let him kneel down for a while, and let's discuss the art of refining medicine first."
