Jiang Yuyu inwardly exclaimed, Whose subordinate is this? So fierce! I thought I was invincible, but there's someone even fiercer than me.

More importantly, who gave him the guts? Even with King Qi behind him, I wouldn't dare say that. My own mind wouldn't come up with it.

In my short life, I've actually encountered such a golden quote. I must remember it and live by it.

He gave Mu Zibai a thumbs-up. Mu Zibai responded with a look, indicating it was standard procedure.

King Qi and Wenren Longhong took a deep breath. Their original plan was for Mu Zibai to find a way to anger Prince Guang, and then they would extort him.

This wasn't just angering him; it was practically making Prince Guang furious.

Fortunately, Prince Guang had a deep well of composure and managed to keep his cool. If it were someone with a worse temper, they would have desperately wanted to slap Mu Zibai twice right then and there.

"Very good." The veins on Prince Guang's forehead bulged. It was rare to see such a significant change in his expression.

King Qi said with a smile, "Children don't understand things. Any offense in his words was unintentional."

Prince Guang chuckled, "Unintentional?"

Mu Zibai silently thought, Intentional. Unfortunately, Prince Guang couldn't hear him.

King Qi avoided the topic and said, "Money for goods, you know the rules. Don't tell me you're getting younger the older you get, or you'll really have to sit at the kids' table."

"Very good, I've noted it," Prince Guang said, scanning the people before him. He then added, "I will return tomorrow."

With that, Prince Guang, carrying Ao Ying Tian, prepared to leave.

At this moment, Mu Zibai called out to Prince Guang, "Hey, if you're late tomorrow, the Dragon Sinew will be made into a belt."

"What's your name?" Prince Guang inquired.

Mu Zibai smiled and said, "This junior is Mu Ziyu, from the Mu family of the Capital City. My father is Mu Hedao."

"Good, I'll remember you, young man of the Mu family," Prince Guang said, giving Mu Zibai a meaningful glance.

"It is my honor to be remembered by a senior," Mu Zibai said with a slight smile, watching Prince Guang leave.

As soon as Prince Guang left, Wenren Longhong immediately asked King Qi, "How was it?"

"From the probe just now, there's a problem. I'm afraid they really have another plan. We need to be careful," King Qi said with a frown. "It went too smoothly; it's not like them."

"It seems we need to prepare in advance. We still don't know what methods they might use," Wenren Longhong said with some worry.

King Qi looked at Mu Zibai and chuckled, "Young and promising. To face Prince Guang without changing your expression, you have more spirit than I did back then."

Mu Zibai slowly lifted his foot, wanting to take a step, but his legs were trembling too much to move.

My face didn't change, but my legs are shaking! My heart is definitely not steady. Who wouldn't be scared in this situation? I'm not as powerful as King Qi. If King Qi weren't here, I'd just be a clown.

I was just borrowing King Qi's might.

"Mu Ziyu?" Wenren Longhong also chuckled.

Prince Guang definitely doesn't know that much and likely doesn't know Mu Zibai's true identity or much about the Mu family. Shifting the blame to the Mu family this time? Brilliant.

"Clever move," Jiang Yuyu said, placing a hand on Mu Zibai's shoulder.

"It's easy to find out. I was just playing a small trick; it's nothing impressive," Mu Zibai shook his head.

At this moment, he deeply felt his lack of strength. Facing such powerful individuals, without enough strength, any action would just be a clown's act.

If King Qi hadn't been there to back him up, he probably wouldn't have dared to say a word.

As for his actions just now, Mu Zibai dared to speak like that because he wanted to probe Prince Guang's background. This was something they had discussed beforehand.

If King Qi had done it, it would have been a duel between experts, and Prince Guang would have been flawless. But with Mu Zibai doing it, the effect was different.

King Qi had calculated this. He understood Prince Guang's personality, and Mu Zibai had performed exceptionally well, beyond expectations.

"I just wonder what the Dragon People's next move will be," Wenren Longhong said with some concern.

King Qi said, "Judging by Prince Guang's reaction, I estimate it will be within these few days. It's always right to prepare defenses in advance. Are you in a hurry to go back?"

"No rush."

"Then that's perfect, stay and help me," King Qi said. He then looked at Mu Zibai and asked, "What about the Dragon Sinew and Dragon Horns?"

Mu Zibai took out the Dragon Sinew and Dragon Horns and handed them to King Qi.

"How about this: give them to me first. After I replace them tomorrow, I'll give the items back to you, alright?"

"Okay."

"Good. Tomorrow, Long Hong and I will stay here. You all will return with the warship. I'll have people set up defenses in the South Sea, so we'll have a response in case of any emergencies."

"Father, is a war really going to happen?" Jiang Yuyu asked, confused.

King Qi pondered for a moment and said, "The Dragon Palace's actions must have a conspiracy behind them. Although we don't know the specifics, they are definitely trying to infringe upon Great You's interests. Preparing in advance is always the right thing to do."

"And what if the Dragon Palace can hold its patience and doesn't make any moves during this time?" Jiang Yuyu asked.

King Qi smiled and said, "I know the Dragon Palace too well. I'm afraid they won't be able to hold their patience, but they won't dare to go to war with Great You head-on. I'm also very curious about what methods the Dragon Palace has.

The enemy is in the dark, and we are in the light. They are trying to scare us, knowing we are already on guard, yet they still dare to act. I'm afraid it's not that simple, so we must be careful."

Afterward, King Qi and Wenren Longhong stayed on the island, waiting for Prince Guang to return the next day. Mu Zibai and the others prepared to return with Jiang Yuyu.

"Can you really defeat two Dragon People in the Mystic Armor Realm?" Jiang Yuyu asked, looking at Mu Zibai with disbelief. He has such thin arms and legs, and he's only in the early stage of the Mystic Armor Realm. His strength isn't that high.

He rack his brain but couldn't figure out how he won.

"You guess." Mu Zibai smiled. Don't ask, just guess.

Jiang Yuyu was also in the Profound Armor Realm, but he had been in it for nearly two to three years. If he had to fight a Dragon Person of the same realm, he could only guarantee that he wouldn't be completely crushed, let alone win.

"Tell me, how did you win? Do you have any special tricks? Teach me one, and I'll trade you treasures for it." Jiang Yuyu raised an eyebrow.

Mu Zibai: "."

Treasures? What treasures could there be?

"Let's hear it," Mu Zibai asked curiously.

Jiang Yuyu took out a book with pictures from his embrace. Mu Zibai's eyebrows twitched, and he thought, Holy crap.

"This is a rare, unique copy. I only have this one. What do you think, pretty good, right?" Jiang Yuyu pulled Mu Zibai aside, afraid of being discovered.

Mu Zibai fell silent and said, "Brother, you've got the wrong person. I'm a decent person. I only read the Spring and Autumn Annals."

He turned to leave.

"Think about it again, I have another one."

As he turned around, he saw King Qi standing in front of him, gritting his teeth and asking, "Another one what?"

"Dad? What a coincidence." Jiang Yuyu chuckled awkwardly, hiding the unique copy behind his back.

King Qi waved his hand, and the book flew into his hand. Upon seeing it, he immediately frowned, nearly flying into a rage. If it weren't for the outsiders present, he would have already drawn his belt and given him a good thrashing.
