This little prince, in the future, will be the emperor of this country.
"Yeah, why am I so sure that your guess must be right?" The little prince asked himself while chewing on a bun.
Tianmiao: "..." Sometimes the future emperor seems a bit silly. Will this country also carry a trace of silliness in the future?
It wasn’t even evening yet when Xu Lang and Shen Hanshu returned with gloomy expressions at lunchtime.
"Who is it? What is this person to Arrest Officer Cao?" The little prince put down his bowl and chopsticks and asked gravely when he saw the two enter.
Xu Lang and Shen Hanshu sat down. After a while, Xu Lang said in a deep voice, "It’s Zhengying’s fiancée."
"That lady of Bilang Mountain Villa? The Bilang Mountain Villa that has been in decline for many years?" The little prince was well-informed about matters of the martial world. Cao Zhengying was quite famous in the martial world before, and the little prince naturally knew his fiancée was the lady of Bilang Mountain Villa. Bilang Mountain Villa had held a significant position in the martial world over thirty years ago, but later, when the Manor Master fell seriously ill, the villa gradually declined.
To say there was no successor isn’t entirely true. At least, the lady has exceptional talent and martial skills worthy to uphold the responsibility. The problem was that this lady wasn’t the Manor Master’s biological daughter. The Manor Master was unwilling to hand over his vast legacy to an outsider, so he preferred to neglect it rather than pass it to this lady.
Later, this lady voluntarily proposed to break her engagement with Cao Zhengying and afterwards, there was no more news.
"Even though the engagement was broken, Arrest Officer Cao has always been in contact with her, hasn’t he?" the little prince asked again.
"Yes. He always cherished the lady, and although their engagement was broken, he couldn’t let go. The first time he discovered this lady committing a crime, he stopped her. Since then, he has been on guard against her committing crimes. But there were times when he couldn’t watch her..." Xu Lang said in a deep voice.
"What foolishness! When it was first discovered, she should have been caught." The little prince looked angry, "It’s precisely because of his indulgence that there have been so many tragedies afterward. Last night, he appeared to divert you so that his fiancée could escape smoothly, right?"
Xu Lang and Shen Hanshu nodded, their expressions not looking good.
"I want to escort them back to the capital myself. I want to see with my own eyes what kind of beauty that vicious woman has to make Cao Zhengying so confused." The little prince stood up, not finishing his meal, and headed straight for the door.
"But, my prince, who can be devoid of emotion? That woman and Zhengying did have a deep affection. Zhengying acted like this because he loved too deeply..." Xu Lang stood up and tried to advise, "I hope the prince can be lenient to him considering Zhengying’s years of service to the court."
The little prince stopped in his tracks, slowly turned to look at Xu Lang, and suddenly sneered, "Great Hero Xu, if it were your red-faced confidant committing a crime today, would you too break the law knowing it’s wrong and become an accomplice? If your confidant wants to kill, would you take care of the aftermath for her?"
Xu Lang was stunned, hesitated for a moment, before he could speak, the little prince continued to sneer.
"Are you even worthy of the title ’Great Hero’? Such a martial world doesn’t need to exist. If you can’t understand that the greatest hero is for the country and people, I will personally end all of you so-called ’Great Heroes’." After saying this, the little prince ignored Xu Lang and strode out.
Tianmiao Chong nodded to Dong Xiao. Dong Xiao understood and also went out to escort the little prince.
