"By the way, how did you guys find out about this Does the Mo Family have a spy among your White Ladle group" Xianyao asked curiously.

"Yes, it was arranged in the past," Third Miss Nanguang nodded. "But it's not through the Nanguang family channels; it came from the Tang Empire. Don't worry, I've sealed this news. Unless the emperor personally asks about it, nobody else will see it."

"Thank you, Third Miss. Whoever marries you would be so lucky to death. Lady Master really wasted her chance," Xianyao sighed with admiration for Nanguang Sanmiss, who was astute and knew what others wanted while being gentle and graceful—she made an excellent wife.

"Damn it! How can you say such things It's like I'm the one who wasted my chance!" Lady Master fumed.

"Xianyao, I don't fancy Miss Mo Yu; I like men… oh…" Third Miss Nanguang immediately said but realized her statement seemed rather embarrassing.

"What kind of man do you like I'll keep an eye out for him."

"Not saying!"

“Haha…”

... Thus, Xianyao left the Mo Family with Lady Master and Nanguang Suixin's support—though in reality, it was protection; they were afraid someone would attack him outside. To others, it looked like he was being supported by them, a situation that many people envied.

But after leaving the main gate, Xianyao discovered they might have been mistaken. The Fourth Prince hadn't left and was confronting at the entrance, waiting for their return.

Moreover, not only did the Fourth Prince remain; even that old man had stayed behind as well.

This was odd; the Fourth Prince could be said to know no fear of death. What about this old man Clearly aware Lady Master and Nanguang Suixin were present, why would he still dare come here to court death Indeed, in Lady Master's eyes, his actions amounted to suicide.

"You finally came out; I've been waiting for a long time," the Fourth Prince said first. Even seeing Lady Master and her group didn't make him fear as if either he was fearless or had some backing.

"Fourth Prince, speak up. Do you want your left leg to break first, or your right, or both at once" Lady Master looked at her hand with a domineering attitude.

"Mo Yu, don't think that having the Tang Empire behind you makes you untouchable! I'm telling you, this continent isn’t just about the Tang Empire!" the Fourth Prince taunted.

“Oh So you have some support. Then call your supporter out. But regardless of who your backer is, both your legs are going to be broken!” Lady Master swiftly moved in front of the Fourth Prince and made a move as she spoke.

"No!"

“Hold back!”

“…”

The crowd was startled when they saw Lady Master's actions, while some who were going to protect the Fourth Prince cried out in alarm; none of them expected her to strike immediately upon saying she would.

"Oh…"

Making it clear that she wouldn’t heed these calls, Lady Master directly broke the Fourth Prince’s legs without giving him a chance!

At this moment, the Fourth Prince seemed to realize how foolish he had been. He thought having some support would make him fearless against Lady Master, but she didn't play by regular rules and struck immediately upon saying so.

No matter how powerful his supporter was now or could retaliate later, it wouldn’t help because his legs were already broken.

"You fool, why only learn after getting a lesson" Xianyao shook his head in exasperation. The Fourth Prince’s behavior was too foolish; even if his support was stronger than Lady Master's, he should wait until the supporter arrived before acting arrogantly—now was far too early.

Perhaps his support could intimidate most people, but there were some who acted without regard for consequences, and Lady Master clearly fell into this category.

"Kid, you can now notify your backer."

"No need; I'm already here! Miss Mo Yu, even when punishing a dog, one should consider the master’s feelings; what you're doing isn't quite proper," a young man said coldly as he gradually entered everyone's sight.

“Oh I wondered who it was. The prince your highness, right… oh yeah, what’s your name” Lady Master asked sarcastically without showing any respect for him.

"I am Li Cheng; remember this name because in the future, this name will become legendary," Li Cheng said with confidence.

“Li Cheng This name seems familiar. And I think I've seen that face somewhere!” Xianyao mumbled to himself as he thought of Li Cheng but couldn’t recall where; his impression was very vague.

However, Xiaoyao soon thought of other matters. He believed that Li Cheng must be the backing force for the Fourth Prince and should also be an empire capable of standing up to the Tang Dynasty Empire. Additionally, this prince was in possession of significant power within that empire, which explained why the Fourth Prince had such confidence.

"Moyu, you're dead meat now. This is a prince from the Greedy Wolf Empire, and he's the ninth prince who could potentially inherit the throne in the future. Even if you’re a general of the Tang Dynasty Empire, you are merely just a general!!" The Fourth Prince was screaming out in pain while his expression was quite interesting.

At this moment, he did not pay attention to what Prince Li Cheng had said earlier about him being like a dog. Perhaps he felt that in front of Prince Li Cheng, he was indeed nothing more than a dog.

"You also called me a general from the Tang Dynasty Empire. He's merely a prince from a greedy empire; unless he conquers the Tang Dynasty Empire, he has no jurisdiction over me! What can he do to me now Isn’t it a risk causing war between two empires" The Miss was looking at the Fourth Prince as if he were an idiot because his backing wasn't there and he didn’t even have the means for revenge.

The miss appeared casual, but she was actually quite astute. She clearly understood the situation – she wouldn’t get into trouble over such a trivial matter, only that pitiful Fourth Prince would think of retaliation.

“…”

The Fourth Prince fell silent and looked at Prince Li Cheng. He saw no expression on Prince Li Cheng's face; he seemed rather calm, almost like an affirmation.

"That is indeed correct. I can't touch you myself, but since you touched my person, there must be some form of compensation. Or perhaps, I could break your legs." Prince Li Cheng said indifferently.

"You're right. Break his legs! It was that boy who started it all today; he’s her servant. I was chasing him and not fighting with Moyu, but Moyu defended his servant and broke my legs without any provocation!" The Fourth Prince pointed at Xiaoyao angrily.

It's all because of you; if it weren't for you, I wouldn’t have ended up like this!

The Fourth Prince was not only pointing fingers at Xiaoyao but also accusing Moyu of being biased. If Prince Li Cheng did not take the same stance in retaliation against Moyu, he would find himself without a way to face others. It was actually a small tactic, intending to compel Prince Li Cheng to use similar means and break Xiaoyao's legs.

This small maneuver was indeed quite clever. Under normal circumstances, Prince Li Cheng would surely display his dominance and break Xiaoyao’s legs regardless of how important he might be to the Miss. He himself had formidable strength and those accompanying him were equally powerful, enough to suppress these women.

"… Break both his hands!"

"Right, break both his hands... Wait a minute, Your Highness, why are you pointing at me"

Everyone thought that the Prince’s words were directed towards Xiaoyao. The Miss was even prepared for combat when suddenly there was an unexpected turn of events – Prince Li Cheng pointed directly at the Fourth Prince.

This… What the heck is going on The Miss inwardly cursed.

"As a dog, you should have the awareness to be one. It’s fine if you bite people without my command, but choose your targets!" Prince Li Cheng said coldly.

"What do you mean by that Who did I bite"

"A servant! The person is a young prince of the Tang Dynasty Empire; don’t call him a mere servant," Prince Li Cheng couldn't help but curse.

"No way, there must be some mistake!" The Fourth Prince immediately denied it.

"Break both his hands and throw him into the streets. He's useless trash!" Prince Li Cheng didn't pay any more attention to the Fourth Prince; he turned to his subordinates and then approached Xiaoyao.

"Young Prince, we meet again!"

Prince Li Cheng’s words made everyone realize that they were acquainted. Moreover, it seemed like there was some history between them, which explained why he handled the Fourth Prince in such a manner.

At this moment, people noticed Xiaoyao had a somewhat puzzled look in his eyes; clearly, he couldn't immediately recall who the person before him was.

"Bai Yue Kingdom!" Prince Li Cheng reminded him impatiently.

"I remember now. You're the ninth prince of Greedy Wolf Empire; we both participated in Bai Yue Kingdom's royal marriage selection." Xiaoyao finally recalled it, but since he didn't have a strong impression initially and much time had passed, Prince Li Cheng’s appearance had changed significantly, making him hard to recognize.

Of course, this was also because he hadn’t made the effort to remember. Otherwise, with his memory skills, even minor details would be remembered, let alone someone he met multiple times.

"Past regrets are too bitter for reflection. Back then, I thought you were a wastrel; my eyes were indeed shortsighted," Prince Li Cheng said self-deprecatingly.

Xiaoyao found it strange. The attitude of this Prince Li Cheng seemed somewhat extreme. Even if Xiaoyao was a young prince from the Tang Dynasty Empire and they had met briefly before, it shouldn’t be like this. There must have been something else between them.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have treated the Miss in such a manner just now; a young prince from the Tang Dynasty Empire didn’t come close to being as important as her – the female military god!

Xiaoyao did not think deeply about it at this moment. What others wanted to do was their own business, he currently had no time to deal with that; all he wanted was to resolve the current predicament and leave undetected.
