Prince Yi

There is a big difference between an empire and a sect. A sect can be controlled by many large Lineage, but an empire is usually controlled by only one royal family.

Martial artists have remarkably long lifespans; any martial artist with a lifespan of a million years could, if they so desired, have a large and powerful Lineage. Therefore, the number of members of the Cloud-Leaving Empire's royal family is quite astonishing.

A large number of participants also means fierce competition.

Anyone who can obtain Noble Title or honor in the Cloud-Leaving Empire is not to be underestimated, let alone Prince Yi, whose Noble Title is Prince!

Yunze City is Prince Yi's fiefdom, so he is definitely an important figure in this Tiannan Peak Summit.

"That must be Prince Yi."

Someone spoke up, saying that people saw a middle-aged man, followed by two squads of imposing golden-armored soldiers, each wielding a long spear, looking extremely majestic.

"It's the Golden Armored Guard!"

Some say that the Golden Armored Guard are the elite of the Cloud-Leaving Empire, directly under the command of the Cloud-Leaving Empire, but also subject to the orders of various princes.

For a powerful figure like Prince Yi, there's naturally no need for Golden Armored Guard to protect his personal safety; having Golden Armored Guard is merely a symbol of status.

A middle-aged man wearing a four-clawed Dragon Robe landed on the mountain peak, followed by Golden Armored Guard. He was extremely tall, with a long beard reaching his chest, and his hands were like palm-leaf fans.

Beside the middle-aged man was a woman dressed in a bright red palace gown. The woman appeared to be in her early twenties, with a beautiful and charming appearance. At this moment, she was leaning against the middle-aged man, clearly his female companion.

Despite being surrounded by so many experts, the middle-aged man showed no restraint, simply embracing the woman's graceful waist as if no one else was around.

No one around seemed to mind; they all stepped forward to greet him.

"I come from Gourd Island in the West Sea, and am currently the Gourd Island's lord. I pay my respects to Prince Yi! Prince Yi's name is already widely known, and it is my great honor to meet you today!"

"I am Thousand Lightning Master, and I pay my respects to Prince Yi. Ten thousand years have passed since my last meeting with Prince Yi. Now that we meet again, Prince Yi's charisma remains undiminished."

The crowd showered him with compliments, and the middle-aged man nodded, calmly instructing those who came to greet him to dispense with the formalities. This scene stirred the hearts of many younger people.

Prince Yi was truly a noble among nobles. Those who paid homage to him were all powerful figures who could command respect in their respective regions. Yet, in front of these people, Prince Yi calmly accepted everyone's greetings while embracing his beautiful concubine.

This kind of magnanimity makes the younger generation think, "How wonderful it would be if I could become like that in the future."

"So this old man is Princess Hongyi's father. He's quite old."

Yi Yun saw Prince Yi from afar and stroked his chin. Although the old man looked only middle-aged, Yi Yun could sense an aura of decline emanating from him. His life potential had long been exhausted, especially compared to the girl beside him who possessed boundless youthful vitality.

This old man is probably already halfway to the grave, yet he still managed to father Princess Hongyi under these circumstances. As for his concubines, they are probably only a few years older than Princess Hongyi.

As Yi Yun was pondering this, he saw another group of people fly down from Prince Yi's royal carriage.

The man and woman at the head of the group were particularly eye-catching; the woman, dressed in red, was none other than Princess Hongyi.

The man was dressed in Purple Python Brocade Robe and wore a golden crown, exuding nobility and extraordinary bearing!

"It's Princess Hongyi and Prince Tianhao!"

Someone spoke up.

Prince Tianhao is the great-grandson of the current Divine Emperor Chuyun. In fact, for the royal family, seniority has no meaning. Only talent matters. Only those with strong talent can be called Imperial Prince. Otherwise, they will be eliminated. Those royal descendants with low talent have a more miserable fate than ordinary martial artists.

Prince Tianhao is the most outstanding among the Imperial Prince. The current Divine Emperor Chuyun has not yet established Crown Prince. Although Prince Tianhao is young, he is one of the strong contenders for the Crown Prince position.

"I never expected that Prince Tianhao would arrive in Prince Yi's royal carriage, accompanied by Princess Hongyi. Some people had said before that Prince Tianhao and Princess Hongyi might get married in the future, and now it seems that it really is possible."

Some mischievous young geniuses immediately started chatting and laughing.

In the struggle for the Imperial Prince Crown Prince seek allies. Prince Yi is undoubtedly a powerful ally. If Prince Tianhao can gain access to Prince Yi through Princess Hongyi, Prince Tianhao will take a significant step closer to becoming Crown Prince.

Under these circumstances, Prince Tianhao was naturally a highly sought-after figure at this trade fair, and no one would want to offend someone who might become the Crown Prince in the future.

In an instant, people stepped forward to make friends and pay their respects.

Yi Yun was watching from a distance when suddenly he sensed an unfriendly gaze.

He looked in the direction he was looking and saw that Princess Hongyi had spotted him in the crowd. The smile on her pretty face froze instantly.

Although Mingxin Xuan has been shut down these past few days, Princess Hongyi is far from happy. Ordinary martial artists are unaware that Ancient Monster Feces Essence was added to Cloud Hidden Phoenix Seeks Phoenix, but the news has slowly spread throughout the upper class. As one of the Mingxin Xuan's dishes, Princess Hongyi's awkward situation is self-evident.

In addition, she often recalls the past when countless Ancient Monster Feces Essence flowed through her intestines, making her want to vomit whenever she sees spiritual food. She hasn't eaten anything for many days.

Now, having just arrived at a trade fair, she has unexpectedly encountered this guy, Yi Yun. One can only imagine how Princess Hongyi feels.

"Hongyi, who are you looking at?" Following Hongyi's gaze, Prince Tianhao saw Yi Yun. He had heard of Yi Yun before, a young alchemist. The description of his appearance was somewhat similar to the boy in front of him, which immediately made Prince Tianhao think of him.

"Is this the one you were talking about before?" Prince Tianhao asked.

Princess Hongyi remained silent, which was taken as tacit agreement.

Prince Tianhao looked at Yi Yun, his eyes flickering. He knew what had happened. Yi Yun had not only exposed Mingxin Xuan's secrets, but had also ridiculed Princess Hongyi in the process, deliberately setting a trap to embarrass her. This was Prince Tianhao could not tolerate. After all, Hongyi might become his woman in the future. How could he allow his woman to be humiliated by another man?

"Hongyi, you don't need to take that 'Cloud Hidden Phoenix Seeks Phoenix' too seriously. Whether it's the mortal realm or the martial arts world, there are always some impure things used in medicine. If you eat it, it's fine."

Princess Hongyi remained silent. She naturally knew what Prince Tianhao was thinking. She didn't actually have any good or bad feelings towards this guy, but because of her father's wishes, she had no choice but to be with Prince Tianhao.

Prince Tianhao continued, "Hongyi, it's alright if you're feeling really uncomfortable. I've already planned to purchase some Marrow Cleansing Divine Treasure for cleansing your body at this trade fair, so that any impurities will vanish."
