Chapter 73: Night Attack

After looking around and confirming no one else was listening, Eighteen finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I’m not criticizing you; even though you are from a celestial family, we still have Tianyuan Academy overseeing things in Yan Kingdom. Besides, our Yan Kingdom’s son-in-law, even though he comes from a humble background, is actually connected to the Tang family of Qin Land!"

"Hmm?"

Yi Qianmo frowned, "How did it get connected to the Tang family of Qin Land?"

"The Grand Princess wouldn’t lie. Just because of this connection, I tell you, no amount of immortals can compare."

Eighteen said.

"What are people saying about this prince outside?"

Yi Qianmo asked.

"It is said that this prince became a son-in-law of a family in Green Cloud City when he was very young, later he somehow understood his family’s ancestral sword technique, became an immortal, and wiped out that family; he is quite a fierce character!"

Eighteen said, "According to this background, even without becoming a son-in-law, he is not worthy of the Grand Princess, but unfortunately, the Grand Princess likes him, and his family has ties to the Tang family of Qin Land…"

Eighteen described the rumors from outside, speaking with great enthusiasm, but his tone held a sense of reverence.

"No wonder she was so at ease when she left; it turns out she had everything arranged long ago."

Yi Qianmo smiled sadly.

This matter must have been spread by Su Muyu; the others didn’t know and couldn’t possibly share it. Tianyuan Academy would be glad if he didn’t have that connection.

However, the people from Tianyuan Academy didn’t know that the Tang family was now like fire and water with him. Furthermore, since he used the power of the Sword Pill, the Tang family would surely know he had received the inheritance. They wouldn’t send anyone to kill him; they wouldn’t protect him at all.

Upon hearing Yi Qianmo talking to himself, Eighteen gave him some instructions and then left the cabin.

"If the Tang family knew I was alive, they probably wouldn’t let it go so easily!"

Yi Qianmo had originally planned to go directly to the big exam at Tianyuan Academy, but now it seemed that before he had absolute power, he could not allow the news of his survival to leak out.

In the end, he decided not to reveal his identity and would go to the capital using the name "Twenty-One."

After eating, Yi Qianmo sat cross-legged in the cabin to recover his spiritual power, but without spirit Qi, his recovery was very slow. After several hours, he had barely recovered one-tenth of his spirit.

"Twenty-one, please come out. The master has something to call you for." Outside the cabin, the voice of Eighteen could be heard.

"What is it?" Yi Qianmo asked as he opened the door.

"Why are you so clueless? The master calls for you, so just go! If there is something, you should respond!"

Eighteen said impatiently.

Yi Qianmo gave a bitter smile and followed Eighteen into the main cabin. Although it was called the main cabin, it was actually a large hall, where there was no feeling of any bumps, and not even a trace of the river’s waves could be heard.

Inside the main cabin, a group of people stood in two factions, with the fat man sitting in the center, seemingly discussing something.

In addition to the few guards seen during the day, there were several unfamiliar faces in the cabin, all looking young and at the Qi Refining Stage. At this moment, they were showing loyalty to the fat man.

Eighteen led Yi Qianmo inside, being careful not to disturb them, and went around to stand at the back.

"Your Highness, please be assured. In this major exam, we will not let you down."

One of the young men said.

"Good, with what Wu Daozhang said, I can relax."

The chubby man raised his wine cup and said, "Worry not, everyone. As long as you all achieve good results in this big exam and bring honor to our palace, rewards will surely come your way. Moreover, in the future at Tianyuan Academy, there will be a place for all of you!"

The three young men immediately raised their wine cups and toasted to the chubby man, creating a harmonious atmosphere.

"May I ask, Your Highness, what does the big exam involve?"

Just then, a voice suddenly emerged from the crowd.

Upon hearing this, everyone present paused for a moment. Eighteen, standing next to Yi Qianmo, looked shocked and reproachfully at him, as if to say, "Why are you speaking in this situation?"

At that moment, the crowd parted, and everyone looked at Yi Qianmo. Seeing him dressed like a servant, they frowned.

Yi Qianmo did not care what Eighteen thought. Facing everyone’s gaze, he stepped forward and said, "May I ask, Your Highness, what does the big exam involve?"

"You, a servant, actually care about the big exam? Do you want to take part?" a young man at the front sneered.

"How dare you! This is not a place for a servant like you to speak!"

Seeing the old man behind the fat man, he immediately shouted, "Someone, drag him out and give him twenty lashes!"

Two innate guards immediately stepped forward but were met with a glare from Yi Qianmo and instinctively took a step back.

"Do you dare to act tough!"

The old man immediately looked over, and a powerful aura of spiritual energy burst forth, causing Yi Qianmo to tremble and nearly fall to the ground.

If it were during his peak, he would not fear this spiritual aura, but now he was injured, and his spiritual power had not even recovered ten percent, so he couldn’t resist.

The two innate experts immediately dragged Yi Qianmo out, and he did not resist; the situation was pressing. If things turned physical, he could end up thrown into the river to feed the fish, couldn’t he?

"As for the lashes, let’s forget about it. Elder Zhou was just saying that."

When they went outside, Eighteen immediately took out two silver coins and handed them to the guards. The two guards smiled and said, "Eighteen, for your sake, we will let him go. You should teach him a good lesson when you get back. Otherwise, if you offend someone important in the future, losing your head would be a light punishment."

After they left, Eighteen immediately took Yi Qianmo back to the cabin and said, "Why are you so ungrateful? Didn’t I tell you?"

"What did you say?" Yi Qianmo replied with a smile.

"You…"

Eighteen looked at him with a look of disappointment, "Forget it. I wanted to take you to ask for a reward and show you the world, but I didn’t expect you to be so disappointing. By the way, you need to pay me back that silver. If there’s a next time, I won’t be able to help you!"

Yi Qianmo smiled and said, "It was you who took my spirit stone, right?"

"What spirit stone?"

Eighteen looked puzzled, "Don’t you dare slander me. I was helping you, and you actually doubt me."

"Those spirit stones are useless to you. Selling them would just be a waste. How about this: you give me the spirit stones, and I will pay you back double in the future."

Yi Qianmo said.

"What will you use to pay me back?" Eighteen instinctively replied.

"Don’t forget, I am an Immortal. Immortals do not care about money," Yi Qianmo said, "and in the future, I will do better than you, not worse."

Eighteen fell silent at once; he had helped Yi Qianmo just because he admired his status. Immortals are certainly special.

Even though the Prince is cold to him now, it is just a way to make him aware of his status. Once he knows who he is, he will still be valued in the future.

"I only have three left; the other seven were taken by the Prince as rewards for those three Immortal Masters."

As he spoke, Eighteen took out three shiny green crystals, which were the ones Yi Qianmo had brought from home.

"That’s enough!"

Yi Qianmo said, "I believe in returning kindness!"

"Even if you are a fairy, you must know how to bow your head. After all, our master is the prince of the Yan Kingdom!" As he left, Eighteen was still worried and reminded, "Don’t cause any more trouble!"

Yi Qianmo nodded and watched Eighteen leave, then immediately sat down in the cabin to absorb the spirit stone. With the flow of spirit Qi, the long-lost spiritual power filled his body once again.

However, just as Yi Qianmo was absorbing the spirit stone, the cabin suddenly shook violently. With a loud bang, Yi Qianmo was thrown into the air.

"Su Yucheng, you must be very brave to dare to take something from my Blood Demon Sect. Today will be your last day!"

Immediately after, a furious roar echoed, causing pain in people’s eardrums.
