Gu Jiao learned from Ning Wang that the top three fighters in the underground arena had the qualification to go to the State of Yan for a competition and could even bring people along with them.
Gu Jiao was aware of the relationship between the State of Zhao and the State of Yan. The State of Yan was the superior state, and even the Emperor of the State of Zhao couldn't easily go there without the consent of the State of Yan. However, a small underground martial arts arena had the capability to send experts to the State of Yan.
In na, it was for a martial arts competition, but in reality, it was an opportunity to recruit experts from other countries.
Such martial arts arenas existed in all six states. The thods used by the State of Yan were indeed quite straightforward and crude.
Ning Wang said, "The first and second ranked fighters haven't appeared for many years, so there's no chance to challenge them. The third ranked expert has only recently joined the underground arena."
Ning Wang's intention was obvious. Gu Jiao only needed to defeat the third ranked fighter.
"I believe in the skills of Young Hero Heaven." Ning Wang said.
However, Gu Jiao didn't believe that he had said these words to her alone. She feared that they were casting a wide net and focusing on cultivating soone.
Additionally, Gu Jiao gleaned another piece of information from their conversation, which was that Ning Wang wanted to go to the State of Yan.
"What do you think, Young Hero Heaven?" Ning Wang asked.
Gu Jiao glanced at the incense on the table, stood up suddenly, and gestured with her eyes, indicating that the ti was up.
"...!!" Ning Wang almost choked on his words.
After Gu Jiao left, the guards at the door looked around vigilantly and then returned to report to Ning Wang, "Your Highness, soone was watching us nearby just now."
"Have they left?" Ning Wang asked.
"They have." The guard nodded.
Ning Wang's gaze dimd slightly, "Were you able to see who it was?"
The guard shook his head. "I didn't get a clear look at his face, but his figure felt sowhat familiar. He seed to be soone from the Crown Prince's side."
Ning Wang picked up his teacup, "So, the Crown Prince has also co?"
The guard's expression tightened, "Could it be... Has the Crown Prince discovered us?"
Ning Wang wasn't worried at all. He calmly took a sip of tea and said, "Even if he has discovered us, it doesn't matter. He has no evidence. Be more careful next ti and don't let anyone tail us."
"Yes!" The guard replied.
anwhile, the servant circled around Ning Wang's room but found nothing. Then, he inquired with the gatekeeper before returning to report to the Crown Prince and Crown Princess, "This servant has arrived late; that person had already left."
"Gone?" The Crown Prince frowned, looking displeased.
The Crown Princess asked, "Did you find out who he was? Who invited him just now?"
The servant truthfully relayed the information he had gathered, "His na is Heaven Dominator, and this servant doesn’t know who invited him. He stayed in the room to the east."
Following his finger, the Crown Princess glanced in that direction and noticed a gourd hanging from the door of the room, realizing that the person's identity was not ordinary.
The Crown Prince asked curiously, "How can soone have such an unpleasant na?"
"It should be an alias." The servant replied. "Nobody here uses their real nas."
The Crown Princess paused for a mont and then said, "Go and find out who brought this Heaven Dominator here."
"Yes!" The servant agreed and left the room.
The Crown Princess sighed, lowered her gaze, and lifted the teacup.
The Crown Prince looked at her affectionately and said, "Linlang, don't be upset. He's just a newcor among the experts. Even without him, there are others. I'll make sure to bring you to the State of Yan to et Old Master ng."
The Crown Princess lowered her eyes and said, "Your Highness, am I being selfish? I am the Crown Princess of the State of Zhao, and I already have so much. Why do I still long to et Old Master ng?"
The Crown Prince replied earnestly, "How can that be considered selfish? It's only right for you to et Old Master ng. You have deciphered Old Master ng's chess gas. If he finds out, he will surely appreciate you. The State of Yan hasn't replied yet, and I suspect the ssage hasn't reached Old Master ng's hands. Once we go to the State of Yan and et him, everything will be resolved. I know you want to be a disciple of Old Master ng, and I will help you to make that happen."
The Crown Princess's eyes glistened with tears as she said, "My desire to go to the State of Yan isn’t just to et Old Master ng. I also want to see the culture of the State of Yan, understand what this leading nation is like, and learn from the State of Yan's ruler's governance. Then, after I return, I will be able to better assist Your Highness."
The Crown Prince was moved and said, "Linglang, you are truly wonderful."
The Crown Princess replied with a smile, "Your Highness, you are my husband. It's what I should do. Earlier, when I heard about that young hero, I thought this Heaven Dominator is talented and has great potential."
The Crown Prince replied, "Since you say so, then I will go and invite him properly!"
The Crown Princess spoke in earnest, "Young martial artists in the martial world are inevitably filled with spirit. It's possible for them to be a bit reckless and impetuous in their youth. Your Highness, please rember to treat others with respect and never let an incident like what happened with Binu occur again.”
At the ntion of that incident, a trace of unease flashed within the Crown Prince's eyes.
Binu was a powerful Turkic expert who was incredibly strong and agile. He ranked thirty-ninth on the leaderboard. The Crown Princess had asked the Crown Prince to win him over, but instead, he responded to the Crown Prince with so arrogant words. As a result, the Crown Prince accused him of disrespect and punished him severely.
The incident occurred outside the underground arena, so the underground arena itself didn't interfere. However, the Turkic expert spread the word, causing them to lose several talented individuals who disapproved of the Crown Prince's actions.
The Crown Prince cleared his throat and said, "Don't worry, this ti I won't use my status to suppress the other party. I will calmly and peacefully talk to him."
Gu Jiao was unaware that she had caught soone else's attention again.
It was still early, not yet ti for Little Jing Kong to finish school. After leaving Narcissus Embroidery House, Gu Jiao went back to the dical hall.
She entered through the back door, making sure no one saw her.
In her own small courtyard, she took off her mask, freshened up, and changed into her regular clothes.
Just as she finished, a commotion could be heard outside the courtyard.
"Why did you bump into !"
... It was a girl's voice.
"Who bumped into you?! It was clearly you who bumped into !"
Now it was a man’s voice, and it sounded sowhat familiar, like... Gu Chengfeng's.
"Hornet!"
"Barrel!"
Indeed, Gu Chengfeng, who ca to buy hair tonic for his brother, and Yuan Tong, who accompanied her sister for treatnt, had run into each other.
This encounter was like a needle tip against a wheat awn.
Yuan Tong widened her eyes and said, "You intentionally bumped into ! I can't believe you, a grown man, is so small-minded that you would bully won!"
Gu Chengfeng raised his right foot angrily and exclaid, "Who bullied you! Look at my shoe! It was clearly you who stepped on ! I haven’t said anything yet, but you’re accusing of bumping into you!? You’re being unreasonable!"
Yuan Tong took a closer look and indeed found a shoe print on it. Her eyes flickered, and she stamred, "Wh-who asked you to not pay attention to where you're walking?"
