Arriving at Star Luo City, Star Luo Imperial Palace

Niu Gao chuckled, turned to the side and beckoned behind him. "Niu Zhen, come here and greet the Third Prince!"

The burly young man who had been following Niu Gao stepped forward in response.

He was a size larger than Dai Mubai, with broad, thick shoulders, and walked with a powerful stride, yet his expression was very kind and honest.

"My name is Niu Zhen, sixteen years old, my Martial Soul Plate-armored Giant Rhinoceros, and I am a level thirty-three Defense System Battle Soul Elder. I greet Your Third Prince." Niu Zhen cupped his hands and said respectfully.

Niu Gao patted Niu Zhen on the back of the head and said with a laugh, "This kid may not be very bright, but he's tough and strong. I heard that Pojun has already followed His Highness. Let this brat follow His Highness too, and help him block some swords."

Dai Mubai smiled and said, "Clan Leader Niu, you are too kind. I would be delighted if Brother Niu Zhen were to join us."

Not to be outdone, Bai He turned and waved behind him, "Chenxiang, come and greet the Third Prince."

Bai Chenxiang stepped out from behind Bai He and said in a clear voice, "Bai Chenxiang, eleven years old, Martial Soul Sharp-tailed Swift, Level 23 Pure Agility-type Soul Grandmaster, greets Your Third Prince."

Although Bai Chenxiang is quite pretty and cute, her looks and figure are still far inferior to Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong.

However, Ma Hongjun, who was standing next to Dai Mubai, stared blankly at the moment, and his mouth involuntarily smirked.

Dai Mubai subtly bumped into him from the side.

Ma Hongjun suddenly snapped back to reality, his face flushed, and he quickly looked down, pretending to look at the floor.

Dai Mubai looked at Bai Chenxiang and smiled, "Sister Chenxiang, there's no need for such formalities."

Bai He stroked his beard and said, "Since Pojun and Niu Zhen have both followed Your Highness, my son Chenxiang, though still young, has considerable talent. Your Highness must treat them equally."

Dai Mubai nodded. "The three seniors have placed such trust in me, entrusting the talents of our clan to me. I will naturally treat them all equally. From this day forward, Yang Pojun, Niu Zhen, and Bai Chenxiang are all one of us."

Everyone took their seats again.

Niu Gao asked gruffly, "Your Highness, what are our plans next?"

Dai Mubai had already thought it through and calmly said, "Everyone has come from afar, so please rest for a few days first. Then, the three seniors will accompany me back to Star Luo City to meet my father. I plan to allocate a piece of land in the city for the Three Clans to settle their people and build residences. After everything is ready, we will relocate the people of the Three Clans in batches."

Upon hearing this, Niu Gao said with satisfaction, "Very well! We will do as Your Highness says!"

Yang Wudi had no objection. He stood up and ordered the servants to prepare a banquet, then smiled at Dai Mubai and said, "Your Highness, have a good drink tonight."

"Hahaha! Alright, everyone, let's drink to our hearts' content tonight!" Dai Mubai nodded with a smile.

He felt incredibly happy; the Po, Yu, and Min Three Clans were now under his command. The next step was Star Luo City.

Three days later, the group set off back to Star Luo City.

As dawn broke, two carriages stopped in front of the Breaking Clan's mansion.

The boys were crammed into a horse-drawn carriage.

Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, Oscar, Ma Hongjun Yang Pojun, Niu Zhen, Niu Zhen, Bai Chenxiang were all in the same car, making the carriage very lively.

In the other carriage were four senior figures: Zhao Wuji, Yang Wudi, Niu Gao, Bai He.

Inside the carriage, Oscar leaned against the wall, watching Ma Hongjun bustling around Bai Chenxiang, and said with a grin, "Hey Fatty, why are you being so diligent today?"

Ma Hongjun was pushing a neatly folded thin blanket toward Bai Chenxiang when he heard this, he shrank back and said, "I'm just... I'm just worried that Xiangxiang will get bumpy."

"Really?" Oscar drawled, "We've known each other for so many years, why don't you ever worry about me being jostled around?"

"Get lost! You're so thick-skinned, how can you compare to Xiangxiang?" Ma Hongjun blurted out.

A burst of laughter immediately filled the carriage.

Bai Chenxiang, sitting next to Ma Hongjun, blushed crimson from everyone's laughter. She grabbed the thin blanket Ma Hongjun offered and slammed it across his face. "Who... who wanted your blanket! I have my own!"

Ma Hongjun's face was covered in a blanket, but he wasn't annoyed. He hurriedly pulled it off, grinning foolishly, "Okay, okay, you have your own, you have your own."

Everyone shook their heads in disbelief; even a fool could see that the fat man had taken a liking to Bai Chenxiang.

Dai Mubai couldn't help but sigh, wondering if fate was deceiving him; were Bai Chenxiang and Ma Hongjun destined to be together again?

But Dai Mubai didn't have the energy to think about these things. He quickly pulled himself back to his senses, looked at the end of the official road, and carefully considered how to deal with the situation in Star Luo City.

The original owner's memories of Star Luo City and the Star Luo Royal Family flooded into Dai Mubai's mind at this moment.

Tonglan City is about 600 kilometers away from Star Luo City, and it takes about four days to reach it by official road.

Four days later, a tall, rugged city appeared at the end of the road.

We've arrived at Star Luo City.

The city wall was built of dark gray boulders, over a hundred feet high, with banners fluttering on top. From a distance, it looked like a giant beast lying on the earth.

Unlike the elegant and complex Heaven Dou City, Star Luo City is less refined but more ruthless and cold.

Sitting in the car, Dai Mubai looked out the window at the familiar city gate, his heart trembling slightly.

We're finally back.

The carriage entered the bustling city gate.

The city was bustling with people, and the shops on both sides displayed their flags.

The carriage traveled along the main road directly to the palace.

They soon arrived at the palace gates. Dai Mubai jumped out of the carriage first. The guards at the palace gates recognized him and were all stunned for a moment before hurriedly bowing.

"Third Prince! You... you're back?"

Dai Mubai nodded slightly, said nothing more, and led everyone directly into the palace.

We passed through numerous palace gates, along a path paved with blue bricks, with towering palace walls and Imperial Guards guards.

Ma Hongjun and the others tried their best to appear calm, but their eyes couldn't help but wander around.

"Good heavens... this is the Star Luo Imperial Palace?" Ma Hongjun asked in a low voice.

Oscar gasped in surprise, "Fatty, watch your appearance. Don't look like a country bumpkin in the city."

"If you're not rustic, why are you swallowing your saliva?"

"I was thirsty."

The two clowns immediately drew chuckles from the crowd, easing the slightly tense atmosphere.

Dai Mubai smiled but didn't say anything.

Most princes had their own independent residence in the palace before the competition was decided, while those who were eliminated were exiled to other places.

Dai Mubai's palace is located on the southwest side of the imperial palace, in a courtyard that is not too large but has a well-organized layout.

Although it has been vacant for more than three years, the outside of the hall is still kept clean and tidy, and it is clear that it has not been abandoned.

Dai Mubai has merely left, not died, and he has not been stripped of his right to inherit the throne. He remains one of the heirs to the throne, so naturally no one dares to touch this palace.

The eunuchs and palace maids guarding outside the hall were taken aback when they saw who had arrived, and then their expressions all changed.

"Three... Your Third Prince?"

"His Highness the Third Prince has returned!"

After a moment of panic, the head eunuch in charge of the palace rushed out to greet him, bowing low from afar and saying in a high-pitched voice, "This old servant greets Your Third Prince!"

Dai Mubai glanced at him and said, "No need for formalities, please rise. These are my guests; please arrange accommodations quickly."

"Yes, yes, yes, this old servant will take care of it right away!"

The steward readily agreed and hurriedly directed the servants to tidy up the room.

Dai Mubai led everyone into the main hall.

Ning Rongrong looked around with her big eyes. "Mubai, is this where you've lived since you were little?"

"Yes, that's right."

"How can it not be as nice as my residence at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?" Ning Rongrong pouted. "It always feels Bingbing, not as comfortable as my home."

Upon hearing this, Dai Mubai's face darkened, and he was speechless for a moment. In terms of extravagance, how many schools can compare to your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?
