Chapter 47: The Ninth Prince and Blood Brave Marquis
As the ti approached, the Chang Le Academy beca increasingly lively. The academy ceremony was not just a grand event for the academy but also attracted the attention of the entire Chang Le Seven Prefectures. Many noble families, including princes and aristocrats, had already arrived at the academy to prepare for the ceremony.
However, unlike previous years, this ti, a true big shot had co!
“Have you heard? A mber of the royal family is coming to this ceremony!”
“Of course I’ve heard! And it’s not just any royal, but the Ninth Prince of the current emperor!”
“Wow! The Ninth Prince!”
Shockwaves rippled through the academy. The Ninth Prince, being the emperor’s ninth son, was obviously of extraordinary status.
Chang Le Academy, being the least among the seven great academies and located in the extre south of the empire, far from the imperial capital, usually had no royal family willing to visit. But this ti, not only was there royal presence, but it was also the Ninth Prince!
“I must perform well! I hope to catch the Ninth Prince’s attention!”
“Dream on! In our academy, probably only the top-ranking students have the chance to be noticed by the Ninth Prince.”
The harsh reality silenced many. If one could enter the service of the Ninth Prince, their future would be unimaginably bright! Nobility and resources would co easily.
“Forget about the Ninth Prince; there are other nobles to consider, especially the Blood Brave Marquis. Serving under him wouldn’t be any less favorable than serving the Ninth Prince!”
“Exactly! The na of the Blood Brave Marquis is well-known not just in our Chang Le Seven Prefectures but also resonates loudly in the imperial capital, having been summoned by the current emperor before.”
Inside the inner palace.
“Father!”
The voice brimd with surprise.
Cheng Qingman pushed open the door and saw a familiar figure. Standing nearly ten feet tall, he had a robust build and a square face with thick eyebrows and large eyes. A grueso scar ran from his right temple to his left jaw.
Although his cultivation was concealed, he still emanated a terrifying aura, akin to an ancient ferocious beast that had rely retracted its claws and fangs, but once unleashed, it would surely make the heavens change color.
“Man’er.”
Cheng Tiancang smiled slightly.
“I thought you would only arrive on the day of the ceremony.”
Cheng Qingman approached excitedly.
“With my dear daughter participating in this ceremony, I naturally had to co early! Otherwise, if I were late, I’d surely be nagged for a lifeti!”
Cheng Tiancang laughed.
“Good for you to understand!”
Cheng Qingman raised her chin slightly.
“By the way, I heard from Uncle Gong that you have befriended a prodigy from the outer palace who comprehended the martial arts trend at the True Aperture Realm.”
Cheng Tiancang continued.
“Yeah!”
ntioning Luo Mu, Cheng Qingman imdiately nodded, “His na is Luo Mu; his talent is terrifyingly exceptional! It’s rare for to truly admire soone.”
“He’s the only one.”
“I didn’t expect that even among the outer palace disciples, such a person could erge.”
Cheng Tiancang said slowly.
Comprehending the martial arts trend at the True Aperture Realm was astounding. If it were a bloodline user, it might be understandable due to the inheritance of ancestral powers. But for commoners, it was a bit exaggerated.
Even during his youth, he could barely comprehend it at the Spirit Sea Realm.
“Look…”
Cheng Qingman gazed at Cheng Tiancang with so anticipation.
Cheng Tiancang smiled gently.
He knew very well what Cheng Qingman was thinking. She rely wanted to help elevate him and bring him under her wing.
“Do you think soone like him needs my assistance?”
Cheng Tiancang shook his head. “A talent like him will shine on its own. Just like this ti’s academy ceremony, look at how many big shots are coming, even the current Ninth Prince.”
“If he performs well, he’ll have his own path to greatness.”
“My point is for you to et him early. Don’t you need people under you?”
Cheng Qingman said.
“What I need is manpower, while the Luo Mu you ntioned is a potential dragon. Once he erges from the depths, he will surely soar for miles and won’t remain with for long.”
Cheng Tiancang patted Cheng Qingman’s shoulder.
Upon hearing this, Cheng Qingman opened her mouth but couldn’t find the words.
It seed that this logic was sound. Luo Mu’s talent was too extraordinary, and his cultivation speed was terrifying. Perhaps years from now, he might even catch up to her father.
“You did well by befriending such a prodigy ahead of ti; it will benefit our Cheng family imnsely.”
Cheng Tiancang smiled.
“Hey!”
Cheng Qingman didn’t think too much and a smile blossod on her beautiful face. “By the way, I heard that the Ninth Prince is also here. I didn’t expect that such a noble royal family would co to our Chang Le Seven Prefectures.”
“Because that person is close to death.”
Cheng Tiancang said casually and directly.
Upon hearing this, Cheng Qingman’s pupils constricted.
With her keen insight, how could she not understand the aning behind these words?
She quickly realized why the esteed Ninth Prince would co to Chang Le Seven Prefectures.
It turns out it was…
For a mont, Cheng Qingman sensed the winds of change approaching.
“In a world of great contention, such things are inevitable.”
Cheng Tiancang turned to look at the sky, where the clouds were bright red, as if ablaze.
