A New Child of Destiny—You Dare Threaten a Prince?

Fang Xing took Qin Luo to the Imperial Capital aboard a flying demonic beast, barely stopping along the way.

They arrived within the boundaries of the Imperial Capital in less than ten days.

"Your Highness, the Imperial Capital lies ahead. I already sent word ahead; someone from the Imperial Clan Court will come shortly to escort Your Highness into the Imperial Capital."

"Is the Marquis of the Four Regions not going to the Imperial Capital?" Qin Luo asked.

Fang Xing shook his head. "I still have military duties to attend to when I return."

"Very well. Thank you, Marquis of the Four Regions, for your care along the way."

"Your Highness is too courteous."

Although Fang Xing had advised Zheng Tuo to pledge allegiance to Qin Luo, he himself maintained an appropriate distance from Qin Luo.

Quite a few people had already gathered outside the gates of the Qin Capital, including officials from the Imperial Clan Court.

Gu Qingxue was inside a carriage. This carriage had been a birthday gift from Lin Xuan, and after being refined by him, it could block the probing of Saint Realm experts.

She nestled against Lin Xuan's chest, her face flushed, brimming with springtime passion.

Between the two of them, aside from that final crucial step, they had already done everything else that should be done.

Lin Xuan had risen from humble beginnings. Naturally, he knew that when it came to women, one had to seize the opportunity. Being a gentleman? Heh... in his eyes, that was simply fucking idiotic.

"They're here." The sharp-sensed Lin Xuan lifted his gaze toward the sky, just as a clear eagle's cry rang out.

Fang Xing descended from the sky with Qin Luo.

An Imperial Clan Court official stepped forward. "Greetings, Marquis of the Four Regions. You have had a difficult journey."

Fang Xing gave a faint nod and pointed at Qin Luo. "This is His Highness the Ninth Prince."

The Imperial Clan Court official gave Qin Luo a slight bow. "Ninth Prince, we still need to visit the Imperial Clan Court to verify your identity."

"As we should," Qin Luo said indifferently.

His gaze moved away from the man and immediately settled on the carriage not far away.

The corner of his mouth curled slightly. "Interesting."

[Introduction: A noble daughter of a wealthy household and one of the women fated for the protagonist. However, the way things have unfolded now seems a little off. You will surely find out soon enough.]

Qin Luo frowned. What was this supposed to mean? It seemed Gu Qingxue had some connection to him.

Fang Xing was leaving. He saluted Qin Luo. "Your Highness, farewell!"

"You have had a difficult journey," Qin Luo replied.

The Imperial Clan Court official gave Fang Xing a surprised look, then looked at Qin Luo. He muttered inwardly, It seems this Ninth Prince is no ordinary person.

If he were merely some simple wild child, would the Marquis of the Four Regions maintain such an attitude?

One had to know that the Marquis of the Four Regions was a Saint Realm expert.

Inside the carriage, Lin Xuan held Gu Qingxue as his brows furrowed slightly. He murmured in a low voice, "That kid just now seemed to be looking at me."

"Who is Brother Lin Xuan talking about? That person?" Gu Qingxue asked, pointing at Qin Luo.

A special mirror was installed inside her carriage. Those within could see outside, but those outside could not see in.

"Yes, that person should be a prince of the Great Qin Dynasty." A flash of jealousy passed through Lin Xuan's eyes as he looked at Qin Luo.

Having grown up in harsh circumstances after bringing death upon his family as a child, Lin Xuan harbored resentment toward the wealthy.

Qin Luo was undoubtedly fortunate, so Lin Xuan naturally hated him.

Gu Qingxue studied Qin Luo seriously for a few moments, then looked up at Lin Xuan. "He isn't as handsome as Brother Lin Xuan."

Lin Xuan's grin was harder to suppress than an AK. He scooped Gu Qingxue up and gave her a passionate kiss, even feeling a perverse thrill in his heart.

"Your Highness, let us enter the city." The Imperial Clan Court official's attitude toward Qin Luo had also improved somewhat.

Just as Qin Luo was about to enter the carriage, Chen Mo suddenly jumped out.

"You're the newly arrived Ninth Prince?" Chen Mo asked, sizing Qin Luo up and down.

Qin Luo ignored him and instead looked to the Imperial Clan Court official. "Is he also an official of the Imperial Clan Court?"

Li Yuan immediately replied, "In reply to Your Highness, this is the Young Marquis of the Heroic Martial Marquis Household."

Chen Mo also puffed out his chest at the right moment, looking exceedingly proud.

"Oh, Young Marquis, do you need something from me?" Qin Luo asked.

Chen Mo casually produced a sheet of paper. "Since you are a prince, I, Chen Mo, will not make things difficult for you. Once you sign this agreement, I, Chen Mo, will consider you a friend!"

Qin Luo took the paper from Chen Mo and looked it over, the corner of his mouth lifting slightly.

At last, he understood what the system's words had meant.

It was an agreement to dissolve an engagement, and the man and woman in that engagement were Qin Luo and Gu Qingxue.

Although Qin Luo did not know when the engagement had been arranged, he knew that today, perhaps he would make everyone in the Imperial Capital know the name Qin Luo.

He had arrived!

A strange look flashed through his eyes as he looked at Chen Mo. If he was not mistaken, this fellow before him was being used as a weapon by someone else?

A pathetic simp?

"And if I say I won't sign?" Qin Luo said.

Chen Mo's face immediately darkened as he threatened, "This is probably Your Highness's first time in the Qin Capital, isn't it? Do you know that the Qin Capital is a crouching tiger, hidden dragon, and if you tossed a brick at random, you might hit a Saint Realm expert?"

"If you refuse to give me, Chen Mo, face, then I, Chen Mo, will let Your Highness know that in the Imperial Capital, status alone is useless. If no one gives you face, you will find it impossible to take a single step!"

Qin Luo ignored him and turned to Li Yuan. "Tell me, is my status as a prince more noble, or is the status of some so-called Young Marquis more noble?"

Li Yuan froze, then hurriedly answered, "Within the Great Qin Dynasty, a prince's status is naturally incomparably noble!"

"Oh, is that so?" Qin Luo said as he shifted his gaze to Chen Mo, his eyes turning sharp.

"Then who gave you the Courage to threaten this prince?"

"Do you take this Great Qin Dynasty for your Chen Household?"

Boom! A powerful aura surged from Qin Luo's body as he directly gave Chen Mo a huge slap across the face.
