His Ambition Swallows Ten Thousand Miles Like a Tiger! Temper His Nature!

Gazing outside the palace doors at the Fourth Prince, Dai Chengfeng, who sang, laughed, and talked as he left through the rain.

The Star Luo Emperor, Dai An, was infinitely stunned, and for a long time, he said nothing.

"Well said—I will surely surpass my ancestors!"

"Well said—If one day I become the White Emperor, I will command Peach Blossoms to bloom in one place!"

Just then, a Red-clothed Woman slowly walked out from the side hall and sighed softly as she watched Dai Chengfeng's back.

"With such a son, Your Majesty should be pleased."

Looking at the woman, Dai An shook his head and let out a long sigh. "How could I not know that?"

"Armored Cavalry—his ambition swallows ten thousand miles like a tiger!"

"This is the bearing an emperor of my Star Luo Empire ought to possess!"

"It is only a pity..."

"What I admire most is that Chengfeng has such grand bearing at such a young age. Yet now, what gives me the greatest headache is also precisely that. Sigh!"

Dai An rubbed his temples. "Clearly, as long as he followed the Ancestral Method and proceeded step by step..."

"With his formidable talent of Innate Full Soul Power, he would certainly become a Titled Douluo in the future. Even becoming a Peerless Douluo might not be impossible."

"But he..."

"He insists on wildly claiming that our ancestors were wrong? Utterly absurd!"

At this moment, Dai An looked helplessly toward the Red-clothed Woman. "High Priest, tell me, what exactly should I do?"

Hearing this, the Red-clothed Woman smiled and said, "Your Majesty, did you not just announce that you were stripping Fourth Prince of all his titles and fief income, and exiling him to Wu'an City?"

"And that he is not to return to the capital without your permission?"

Hearing this, an embarrassed look appeared on Dai An's face. "High Priest, the only reason I said that just now was to scare him."

"As long as he was willing to Admit Mistake to me and promise not to act willfully again, this matter would have been over."

"But who would have thought that Brat wasn't afraid at all!"

The Red-clothed Woman shook her head. "Actually, I think Your Majesty may as well Play Along."

"Fourth Prince's will is now like steel, but Too Rigid Breaks. Tempering him a little may not necessarily be a bad thing."

Hearing the woman's words, Dai An looked thoughtful. "High Priest, you mean..."

The woman smiled and nodded. "Exactly!"

"A place like Wu'an City often sees rivers of blood. Forget a six-year-old child—even an ordinary Soul Elder or Soul Ancestor would be unable to adapt."

"Therefore."

"As long as you send an expert to ensure His Highness's safety, letting him stay there for a few days might not be a bad thing."

"When the time comes, His Highness should clearly realize the cruelty of the world."

"Naturally, he will no longer be so naive as to believe that his understanding of spirits at such a young age could surpass his ancestors'."

Dai An's eyes lit up. "Brilliant!"

"Chengfeng's sharpness is indeed too keen. It truly ought to be properly tempered."

As Dai An thought this, he looked once more at the few Imperial Guards in front of the hall. "Continue carrying out my previous order. At the same time, spread word..."

"Dai Chengfeng, Fourth Prince of Star Luo Empire, acted willfully, causing the first Soul Ring he absorbed to Go Against his White Tiger Spirit. He is now already Half-crippled, and that is why I demoted him to Wu'an City."

"Also send an order to the Zhu Family Head. Have him take Zhu Zhuqing back. The public explanation will be that they despised Chengfeng for being crippled and took the initiative to break the engagement."

"As for the conversation between me and the High Priest, it must not be leaked to anyone, including Wei Si and Mu Bai, as well as their relatives."

"Otherwise, you should understand the Consequences."

In an instant, those few Imperial Guards once again dropped to one knee and shouted respectfully, "Rest assured, Your Majesty! We understand!"

Dai An nodded in satisfaction.

After all, among those who could become his personal Imperial Guards, which one of them did not share some degree of kinship with him?

And the Zhu Family Head was also a clever man. He would understand what Dai An had in mind.

Therefore, Dai An was not worried that the plan would be leaked.

After the Guards accepted the order and left.

"A Crippled Prince whose engagement has been broken off, haha..."

In the great hall, Dai An looked at the High Priest with a Proud expression. "In this way, Chengfeng, as a Crippled Prince, will no longer Attract Attention so much."

"And I imagine Chengfeng will suffer a severe blow from this."

"With this dose of Strong Medicine!"

"High Priest, how many days do you think Chengfeng can hold out before he comes to Admit Mistake to me and begs me for forgiveness?"

The Red-clothed Woman pondered slightly. "I think, given His Highness's sharp spirit, it may take a week."

"But why do I feel that in three days at most, that Brat will definitely come to Admit Mistake? Haha..."

The thought that the brat of his, who had just dared to talk back to him, would be scared witless by Wu'an City's environment and come crying and begging for forgiveness left Dai An secretly proud.

"I refuse to believe I can't deal with a little bastard like you."

One day later.

Because Dai An, the Star Luo Emperor, had given his approval, in just a single night...

news had completely spread that Dai Chengfeng, the Fourth Prince once considered most likely to become the next Star Luo Emperor, had become crippled because of a Spirit Problem, and had then even had the Zhu Family come to break off the engagement.

In the Imperial Capital of the Star Luo Empire, there was no one who did not know.

And the most excited of them all were perhaps Dai Weisi, who had originally had almost no chance at the throne, and Dai Mubai, whose fiancée had been stolen by Dai Chengfeng.

At this moment, before the gates of the Star Luo Empire's Imperial Capital, the bustling crowd was as busy as ever.

Just then, a plain and old carriage slowly drove out, its wheels rolling over the Stone Road with dull, heavy sounds.

The people's gazes were all drawn over, and a stir ran through the crowd.

Someone pointed at the carriage, lowering their voice, yet still unable to hide their urge to gossip.

"Look, that's the carriage of the deposed Fourth Prince, Dai Chengfeng!

He used to be so dazzling and was regarded as the predetermined next Star Luo Emperor.

But in just one night, not only did he become a cripple, the Zhu Family even broke off the engagement with him... The ways of the world really are unpredictable!"

The crowd discussed it, their tones filled with delight at seeing someone who had once stood high and mighty fall to dust.

Above the city tower, Dai Weisi looked down at the worn-out carriage beneath the city wall, his eyes full of mockery.

"My dear little brother, you really are pitiful now!"

"Such a perfect chance to inherit the throne, and you actually gave it up for nothing!"

"When I inherit the throne in the future and become the next Star Luo Emperor, I hope you won't regret your arrogance and stupidity today. Haha!"

Not far away, Dai Mubai, perhaps because he was still young, had not accepted fate and given up competing for the throne.

He, too, was watching as his greatest opponent left the stage...

"The old me actually had my fiancée stolen by an idiot like that?"

Dai Mubai shook his head with a cold laugh. "Clearly, only by following the ancestors' Soul Ring Absorption Rule can the flaws of the White Tiger Spirit be made up for to the Maximum Extent. Yet you didn't believe it, and even tried to prove the ancestors wrong?"

"How could the ancestors possibly be wrong!"

Looking at the faint glow of his First Soul Skill, White Tiger Protective Barrier, lighting up around him, Dai Mubai's eyes were full of confidence.

"Heh, just wait!"

"Next time we meet..."

"My good little brother, I'll bring Zhu Zhuqing with me and make you understand the gap between you and me!"

And at this moment, Zhu Fan drove the carriage, listening to the crowd's mockery.

He gritted his teeth, turned his head with a face full of stifled frustration, and said unwillingly toward the inside of the carriage, "This really is... Dragon Trapped in Shallows, toyed with by shrimp; Tiger Fallen to Plains, bullied by dogs!"

"Actually, Chengfeng."

"If you were willing to admit your mistake to His Majesty, His Majesty would surely forgive you, and they would also learn just who the real petty little—"

"Enough, Uncle!"

Before Zhu Fan could finish, Dai Chengfeng's calm voice sounded from inside the carriage. "One Day, the world will understand me."

"As for what they say?"

Dai Chengfeng lifted the carriage curtain and looked at the excited people gossiping and mocking outside the window. "It is nothing more than a little wind and frost."

Letting the curtain fall, Dai Chengfeng's voice remained calm. "Keep going."

"Wu'an City, the battlefield—perhaps that is precisely the place where I will truly rise!"
