Chapter 27: The Second Imperial Son

  The spacious wine house is quiet at this moment, and even the sound of a needle falling to the ground can be heard!

  Chang Sun Wei, among the young generation of various prominent families in the Imperial Capital, although not particularly outstanding and even more so without squeezing into the Imperial Capital's Handsome Young Men List, his cultivation had already reached the Later Heaven Eighth Realm, which was an undisputed fact.

  Chen Ye being able to severely injure Zhang Sunfeng with one slap was shocking enough, but no one would believe that Chen Ye could be a match for Zhang Sunfeng. Now...

  Originally sitting calmly like a free and easy person, Zhenyuan couldn't help but stand up, looking at Chenye, his eyes shining like shooting stars, flashing with unparalleled astonishment.

  His cultivation, like Long Sun's, was at the Later Heaven Eightfold Boundary. Although he was younger than Long Sun and had more innate talent for cultivation, Chen Ye had defeated him in their previous encounter, so he could likely defeat him again now.

  It wasn't long ago that I was saying with great fanfare that Chen Ye was the shame of the Chen family... Now thinking back, how ironic!

  If he is a shame to the Chen family, then what does it make me, who can be easily defeated by him?

  "I've said it before, the people of Zhangsun's family are nothing but this, yet they still come to provoke me again and again. Since that's the case, I'll leave you with a shadow that will last a lifetime, so you won't be able to bother me day and night like a fly!"

  At this moment, the extreme arrogance and recklessness of Chen Ye, with one step forward, he arrived in front of Zhangsun Wei, glanced at the wing room, without saying a word, his foot lifted up, ready to trample down heavily.

  "Tonight, you dare?" Zhangsun Wei's liver and gallbladder were both split open, and he shouted in shock: "If you dare to kill me, my Zhangsun family will definitely not let you off!"

  "Hey!"

  "Your Longsun family doesn't have the qualifications to challenge my Town Country Wang Fu, and you, Longsun Wei, even more so!"

  In this sound, Zhangsun Wei suddenly felt a surge of deadly aura rushing towards him.

  "There is an imperial decree, under the feet of the Son of Heaven, strictly prohibiting any private fights. At dawn and night, you not only injured people but also killed them. How can it be that relying on the prestige of the King of Quelling the Nation, you can ignore the law?"

  At this moment, a majestic voice faintly came out of the side room.

  At these words, a faintly sarcastic smile appeared on Chen Ye's lips: I've been waiting for you!

  Immediately, the door of the side room opened, and a handsome figure slowly walked out. As this person appeared, a sense of unparalleled nobility spread throughout the wine building.

  "I have seen the Second Prince!" Except for those two sons of the Zhang family who couldn't even get up from the ground, everyone else paid their respects.

  "Good night!"

  "The humble subject is present!" Chen Ye raised his head and looked straight at the Second Prince!

  The second prince's face had a warm smile, but his voice contained an unquestionable tone: "The imperial court has long since decreed that within the imperial city, private fighting is forbidden. You, who despise the law, should be punished for your crime tonight."

  "Really?"

  Among many princes, the second prince is the most powerful contender for the position of crown prince. Today, he appeared here in person, and it's really an honor to have him!

  The corner of his mouth twitched, and Chen Ye coldly said: "Private duels are indeed forbidden by the king's law. Then I'd like to ask the Second Prince, is publicly flirting with someone allowed by the king's law?"

  "As a prince of the current dynasty, with people clearly present here, you ignore everything. Second Prince, is this the style of your imperial family?"

  "Shut up!" Chen Yuan shouted angrily.

  The second prince, although not the crown prince, has a noble status. This remark is extremely treasonous. However, how can Chen Ye tolerate it? If he continues to ignore it, today it's Xiaoyu, tomorrow it will be someone else by Chen Ye's side...

  Even if you are a high-ranking prince or even the emperor, there are some bottom lines that you still cannot touch.

  "What? Did I say something wrong?" At this moment, Chen Ye put on an innocent look.

  Looking at Chen Ye, the second prince's eyes revealed a hint of sharpness, but he didn't say anything, just staring straight at him.

  With a clear conscience, I shouldn't be afraid of being stared at like this. However, after about ten seconds or so, I suddenly felt that my body seemed to be out of control, and I had a feeling of dizziness.

  And this kind of exhaustion, as if the soul is escaping, makes one inexplicably yearn for it, as if it were the only way out at this time, and that only by doing so can one attain eternal life.

  Chen Ye's eyes gradually became dull, revealing a hint of confusion and ignorance. At this moment, the only thought left in Chen Ye's mind was to surrender to the Second Prince.

  "Hah!"

  Just as this thought was about to occupy all of Chen Ye's consciousness, a white light suddenly appeared and instantly materialized in his pupils, like a protective membrane that blocked the strange gaze of the Second Prince.

  Waking up, Chen Ye was furious at night, and his heart became even more vigilant. This Second Prince was not simple at all.

  The second prince opposite him also changed his gaze slightly, apparently not expecting that this young boy could break his strange work!

  "Chen Ye, you're just a young child, but your guts are not small!" The Second Prince withdrew his gaze and said calmly, with an air of majesty that permeated his tone.

  The anger of Chen Ye had not dissipated, and at this moment, he would not back down. With a proud air, he said: "If you think what I said is wrong, the Second Prince can go to the Emperor's presence and accuse me of being disloyal or arrogant, or even bullying others with his power. As for other things..."

  "Second Prince's character is noble and dignified, he shouldn't continue to degrade himself like this."

  Everyone was shocked, especially Chen Yuan. He had never seen his younger brother like this before - when did he become so sharp-tongued and bold?

  And among them, the bullying and deception are even more shocking to everyone!

  What is prestige, what is having prestige? In the entire Great Huahua Dynasty, apart from the imperial family, the one with the most prestige is the King of Town Country, and even within the imperial family, only the Emperor himself can make Chen Zhong not be too arrogant and rude. The second prince's qualifications are still far behind!

  "Well said!"

  The second prince smiled instead of getting angry: "Our dynasty has just been established for a short period of several decades, and there are still many systems that need to be improved. Your words today reminded me of many things..."

  "Last night, today's matter, Chang Sun brothers were wrong first, can't blame you, but you also hurt them, just let it go?"

  Chen Ye glanced at the Chang Sun Wei brothers and said faintly, "Alright, I'll let it go this time. I couldn't kill them, could I? Although these two are also not worth pitying. Today, I'll spare their lives for the sake of the Second Prince."

  "The Second Prince, Farewell Commoner!"

  "Good night!"

  "The second prince said, 'After you return, would you please help me greet the old king and tell him everything that happened? I don't want the old king to have any misunderstandings.'"

  Upon hearing this, Chen Ye's eyes tightened slightly for a moment before he turned around and quickly left with Xiao Yu.

  Looking at the back of Chen Ye leaving, on the Tian Shuang Lou, there was a long period of silence. After a long time, the Second Prince let out a soft sigh and said: "Chen Yuan, this younger brother of yours, we have all misjudged him."

  "Perhaps!" Chen Ce Yuan responded as such, with a hint of deep-seated apprehension in the depths of his eyes.

  "The second prince is incompetent!" Next to him, Zhangsun Wuji hastily apologized.

  "It's not your fault, actually this is for the better. If Chen Ye continued to hide, it would only bring us more variables." The second prince smiled calmly, as if nothing had happened, and his demeanor was indeed extraordinary!

  Although that's the case, no one can deny that missing today's opportunity will make him infinitely more vigilant in the future, and wanting to plot against him again won't be so easy.

  "Zhenyuan, in your opinion, is there a way to pull this child into my camp?"

  "It's difficult, but I'll give it a try!" Chenyuan replied.

  The second prince smiled and nodded: "Indeed, it's worth a try. However, there isn't much time left before the Eastern Hunting Grounds event. If he doesn't submit within this period of time, it would be somewhat unpleasant!"

  Chen Yuan hastily said, "After the eastern suburb hunting trip, if he still doesn't agree, it will be a dead end, and the second prince won't need to worry about him. If Xiao loses this sword, it will satisfy the second prince."

  "Not necessarily!"

  The second prince remained silent for a while before looking straight at Chen Yuan and saying, "Chen Yuan, after all, Chen Ye is your cousin."

  "But I am still Your Highness's minister!" Chen Ce Yuan smiled deeply, and a hint of coldness flashed in the depths of his eyes.

  "But what about Old Master Wang?"

  Chen Yuan remained silent for a long time before speaking in a serious tone, "Those who understand the times are heroes. Moreover, Old Master will eventually become a minister under Your Highness!"

  Upon hearing this, the Second Prince's warm and gentle smile once again appeared on his face.
