Previously, Jie Qian had intended to discuss business with these two men. But the matter had been disrupted due to the lack of a proper venue.“We can talk at the inn instead, Prince Jie. But have you prepared the conditions we requested?” one of them asked.“Rest assured. Everything you asked for has been prepared. Once we reach an agreement, it can all be handed over,” Prince Jie replied, leading the two men who wore bamboo hats to conceal their identities.It didn’t take long to find an inn. A large establishment stood not far from the Sandalwood Pavilion. With his status as a Prince of the Jie Empire, booking a place was effortless.The inn also offered entertainment. Jie Qian chose to bring the two men to the VIP section.“Prince Jie, I’m delighted by your visit. Would Your Highness like to order some women?” a madam approached, speaking casually.In that place, everyone who entered was a customer—but customers were treated according to status. A Prince rarely visited such establ

“Hahaha… Your Highness is still too young to sneer. We’re finished here anyway. Please, enjoy the room,” Kang Kung said to Jie Qian. Then he glanced at Chen Nian and added, “Young Master, it seems our gathering has been disturbed again. There are indeed many clever people in this Empire.”He shot a sideways look at Jie Qian—the word clever clearly laced with sarcasm, implying someone skilled only in twisting words.Chen Nian merely nodded and followed Kang Kung toward the exit.“Stop right there!” Jie Qian shouted without turning his head. There was no way he would let this end so easily. “Apologize to me—kneel!” he roared again.His shout drew more people closer. After all, who wouldn’t be curious about a free spectacle? They watched cautiously from a distance. If a fight broke out, they did not want to be caught in the aftermath. From afar, at least, they could still flee.The two men continued to ignore him and walked toward the exit. The crowd that had gathered instinctively parte

Smack!The instant the slap landed across someone’s face, silence fell outside. No one dared to speak, comment, or even breathe too loudly.A servant lay sprawled on the floor after being struck by that figure. Although the blow had not carried full force, blood still trickled from the corner of his mouth, and a vivid red imprint of five fingers was stamped across his face.He did not even dare cry out in pain, for the one who struck him was a person deeply respected within the Jie Empire.Jie Qian said coldly, “I already told you, I don’t care about those rules. I’m hosting guests, and you will prepare the place.” His tone was domineering and aggressive. He always acted according to his own will—but who would dare offend him? The servant had only been following orders from his superior and was equally helpless. “Quickly inform the owner of Sandalwood Pavilion that I, Jie Qian, want that private room.”The manager, who had been watching from afar, did not dare approach. He could only

“Uncle Kang, let’s go. We have no business with them. Keep your dignity—don’t lower yourself before a dog that likes to lick boots!”Chen Nian’s harsh words were clearly aimed at Chen Dunrui.“We should fill our stomachs instead. Come, Young Master. I’ll take you to a restaurant famous for its delicious cuisine!” Kang Kung smoothly played the role of guide, since he had already claimed that Chen Nian came from another empire.The two tacitly agreed to maintain this act. It would be impossible for others to quickly verify Chen Nian’s origins. In truth, even Kang Kung himself did not know which empire Chen Nian came from. Given the urgency of the situation, he had fabricated the story that Chen Nian hailed from the Jing Empire and possessed high status—hence addressing him as “Young Master.”Watching them leave, Chen Dunrui felt the veins on his forehead bulge, anger throbbing painfully within him. He had come to corner Kang Kung, yet he was completely ignored. It was utterly humiliatin

“According to the regulations set by the Empire, anyone who can cure the Empress Dowager will receive a reward—one granted wish and ten thousand high-grade Demon Stones. However, could the second reward be exchanged for another wish instead?”“What do you desire? Let alone two wishes—even more can be granted, within the scope of authority I can command,” Soe Shuwan replied.“I am currently staying with the Kang Clan, and the Kang Clan was destroyed by a tragedy. I do not ask for the clan to be restored. I only request that Kang Zhangsun be released and cleared of the accusations against him.”“I can arrange his release. However, erasing the stain attached to his name is beyond my power. If he is truly innocent, time will prove it. I know that child—he is upright and would not commit wrongdoing while his career was rising,” Soe Shuwan said. She indeed could not alter long-standing public opinion. Only time and proof could wash that away.“I understand and will not press further. As for

Chen Chengdu slammed his fist against the floor. In the next instant, he shot forward, attempting to flee when he noticed Kang Kung momentarily distracted.But Chen Nian teleported instantly, appearing in front of him and kicking him hard in the abdomen, sending him crashing to the ground.Thud!“You’re not thinking of going back on the wager, are you?” Chen Nian said coldly.Chen Chengdu struggled to rise, clutching his aching stomach. He immediately denied it. “Is there any proof that we made a wager?”“What a shameless man!” Kang Kung snapped from behind, furious at such blatant denial. If even his own words could not be trusted, then what could possibly be believed from someone like him?“I don’t care whether you admit it or not. In front of me, the wager stands!” Chen Nian’s hand shot out with terrifying speed. Before anyone could react, his arm had already pierced through Chen Chengdu’s heart.Only a choking cough mixed with blood escaped Chen Chengdu’s mouth. He likely never im
