"Did he really go to drink at a flower house? At his age, can he still handle it?" Xuan Yuan Ling looked at Jin Lan with a gaze that seemed ready to tear him apart. Why couldn't his old man ever be easy to deal with? Every crucial moment, he would come and stir up trouble.
Jin Lan lowered his head and said softly, "Heir, when I was sent here by the lord, he was already so drunk he couldn't tell day from night. You should hurry over and take a look."
"Is the old man really that drunk? Or are you two conspiring to trick This Young Master into going back?" Xuan Yuan Ling's cold suspicion, combined with his ambiguous expression at the moment, would make anyone feel an inexplicable sense of tension and fear.
Although Xuan Yuan Ling bore the title of Mad Prince, he was exceptionally astute in handling matters. Not only could he see that Liu Yuren had used Mind Transmission on Huxin one-on-one, but he also clearly understood the situation unfolding outside the Xia Family today. Despite his father’s daily drunken stupor, it seemed that nothing happening in the Vast Continent could escape his old man's notice. Having observed so much, Xuan Yuan Ling was well aware of this.
Jin Lan dared not say more and kept his head down in silence.
Xuan Yuan Ling squinted at Huxin's departing figure, a hint of concern flashing in his eyes that even he himself did not notice.
He then turned and walked toward Spring Blossom Pavilion. The common people on both sides of the street immediately jumped back to make way, clearing a path in just three seconds.
Even those who had never witnessed the Mad Prince's fury had heard enough stories to break out in a cold sweat. The general sentiment among the populace was to keep their distance—not just for themselves but to take their entire families far away as well.
Xuan Yuan Ling maintained his aloof demeanor, indifferent to anyone else as he made his way toward Spring Blossom Pavilion, with Jin Lan cautiously following behind.
Once Xuan Yuan Ling left, Jing Tian'ao, who remained standing with a dark expression, naturally became the focus of everyone's attention. Previously accustomed to being admired and feared, Jing Tian'ao now felt the probing, confusion, and even doubt reflected in the gazes directed at him from all around.
At this moment, Jing Tian'ao's eyes were as cold as ice. He wanted nothing more than to pull that little woman who had swaggered into the Xia Family out and demand an explanation. Did she truly act like that before him without any genuine feelings?
Just then, Jing Yushan rode through the street on a white horse, galloping toward Jing Tian'ao. After dismounting, she approached him and spoke calmly.
“Fourth Brother, the Emperor has given a decree. The National Master will return from his training in the Western Regions and will arrive in the capital tomorrow. Early tomorrow morning, the National Master will be at Luoming Mountain to discuss the way of being with the princes and princesses, as well as the Young Master of a Noble Family and the Young Ladies. The preparations for tonight will be jointly handled by me, Third Brother, and Fourth Brother. You should come with me to the palace to meet Father Emperor and await his arrangements.”
Jing Yushan's voice was neither loud nor soft, always warm like water and smoke.
Jing Tian'ao's eyes subtly contracted. He had naturally received the news of the National Master Xuanyuan Jinzhi's arrival long ago, but regarding matters concerning the National Master, Father Emperor usually assigned them to the Imperial Guard Commander. Today, he suddenly sent Third Brother to find him; it was clear that Father Emperor was intentionally giving him a way out.
Jing Tian'ao had always been proud and arrogant, yet today he found himself being laughed at by Third Brother. It was evident that Third Brother understood Father Emperor's intentions. Not only Third Brother, but Xia Yingba and those who had just left, Xuan Yuan Ling and Liu Yuren, would also understand. Even that irritating Xia Huxin, with her current Graceful and Talented demeanor, would likely grasp today's situation as well.
Thinking of this, the coldness in Jing Tian'ao's eyes became more pronounced.
“This King understands. I will go to the palace to meet Father Emperor shortly,” Jing Tian'ao said coldly.
Despite Jing Yushan usually having a good temper, he felt displeased with Jing Tian'ao at this moment. “Fourth Brother, why do you need to put on airs in front of me, Third Brother? Do you look down on coming to the palace together with this prince?”
