After the apprenticeship ceremony ended, Hong and Thunder God, still thinking about the things Li Jing had entrusted to them, explained the situation to Thunder Light King and then took some time to return to Earth.

Thunder Light King was naturally not unhappy at all. If Hong and Thunder God hadn't declined, he would have personally sent the two back to Earth.

Although his plan was to keep Hong and Thunder God by his side and teach them carefully, the matter Li Jing had given him was clearly more important.

As for instruction, it can wait until the two return; the master-disciple relationship has already been established, so there will be plenty of time and opportunity.

"Inform the Seventh Prince that Li Jing has come to visit!"

Just as Hong and Thunder God were on their way to Earth to run errands for Li Jing.

Since we are no longer under the watchful eye of the teacher in the Ganwu Secret Region, to ensure safety...

Li Jing's true form was concealed within the Space-Escape Silk, and he only sent an avatar to the Seventh Prince's residence.

He deliberately removed his disguise and spoke calmly to the guards at the door.

The Seventh Prince is one of the few surviving descendants of the Ganwu Country Lord.

Unfortunately, he did not inherit the powerful talent of the Ganwu Country Lord, and is now merely an ordinary Marquis Immortal.

Those like Shi Huo Venerable, who are willing to expend resources that even the Universe Venerable would envy, to forcibly elevate their offspring to the King Level, are still a minority.

If we disregard combat power and only consider lifespan, the Immortal gained from Law Comprehension the tenth level of the Heavenly Bridge and the peak Immortal of the Peak King of the twentieth level of the Heavenly Bridge are the same.

Perhaps because he disliked being under his father's nose, the seventh prince did not reside in the Ganwu Secret Region.

Instead, it was on Baohua Star, a prosperous commercial planet directly under the jurisdiction of the Ganwu Universe Country.

This Baohua Star is also one of the properties owned by the Seventh Prince Moxia.

His residence was in a manor in the most prosperous and central area of Baohua Star.

As subordinates of the Seventh Prince, the guards stationed at the manor gate had naturally heard of Li Jing's name.

The promotional video showcasing Li Jing's outstanding performance in the previous Genius Battle still ranks among the top in terms of views on the Ganwu section of the Virtual Universe video forum, so people are naturally familiar with Li Jing's face.

He immediately replied respectfully, "Your Highness Li Jing, please wait a moment while I go and inform the Seventh Prince."

Having said that, he transformed into a streak of Flowing Light and disappeared at the entrance, heading deeper into the manor.

"Seventh Prince, Prince Li Jing has come to visit!"

The seventh prince, who was enjoying the beautiful concubines' singing and dancing performance, suddenly received this news and was unable to recover for a moment.

"Li Jing? Which Li Jing?"

"He is His Majesty Li Jing, the personal disciple of the King and the champion of the previous Genius Battle!" the guard added in a low voice.

The Seventh Prince's spirits lifted. He waved for the dancers to leave and prepare again, then immediately stood up. "Quickly, come with me to the entrance to greet them!"

The guards were taken aback by the Seventh Prince's reaction, their expressions slightly surprised.

The Seventh Prince is the son of the King, while Prince Li Jing is the King's personal disciple; their statuses should be similar.

Why does it seem like the Seventh Prince is even being somewhat obsequious and ingratiating?

Those below didn't know and thought that the Seventh Prince and Li Jing were of similar status.

How could the Seventh Prince not know?

His father, the Ganwu Country Lord, held Li Jing in such high regard that it was practically obvious.

He wasn't afraid at all that his descendants and other disciples would think he was being biased.

Who possesses the qualification to enter the temple directly without prior notice?

His status was indeed high, and he was indeed his father's biological son.

Compared to Li Jing, he was like an unfavored prince, while Li Jing was the Crown Prince who was favored by the Emperor.

Since Li Jing is visiting in person, one must be courteous.

Moreover, he had heard some rumors that Li Jing might be the only one among all of his father's disciples to break through to the Venerable Level.

For that reason alone, he had to be more polite to Li Jing!

He knew his talent was limited, and that this was all he could achieve in his life; what difference would it make if he tried to win favor?

Li Jing, however, is different. If he can grow up smoothly, he may become another powerful asset for his father.

He must be mentally unstable to be thinking about targeting Li Jing and trying to win his favor.

Do you really think all second-generation characters are idiots like Yanzhu King?

Both being second-generation princes, the Seventh Prince held undisguised contempt for the Yanzhu King, the only son of the Shi Huo Venerable.

Even with his poor talent, he could still become World Lord through his own efforts. With a little help from his father, he broke through to the Immortal Level and even cultivated all the way to the Marquis Immortal.

Yanzhu King is a complete waste; he can't even reach the Domain Lord Level on his own.

If it weren't for the fact that the other party's father had poured in resources that even a Venerable One would envy and feel heartache over, it would have been a huge loss.

King-level Immortal?

Dream on!

Not only was he lacking in talent, but he also had flaws in his personality and temperament. He couldn't stand those geniuses and had done a lot of things to suppress and humiliate them.

The most well-known conflict was with the Invincible King True Yan King.

If it weren't for having a good father, he would have been beaten to death by True Yan King long ago.

Unlike him, who was quite self-aware.

If you lack talent, just enjoy life honestly and never try to cause any trouble.

"Li Jing, you're coming here without even telling me beforehand! I could have greeted you at the door earlier!"

Arriving at the manor gate as quickly as possible, the Seventh Prince, who had transformed into Li Jing, warmly shook hands with Li Jing's incarnation, his tone sincere and eager.

The guards following behind were utterly astonished: When had His Highness the Seventh Prince ever been so polite and hospitable? Had he been possessed by something?

Seeing the Seventh Prince's enthusiastic attitude, Li Jing Jinghua's face also showed a smile.

Although he didn't think much of the Seventh Prince in terms of talent and strength, he was, after all, the son of Master Ganwu, and Master Ganwu had treated him well.

He naturally didn't want to strain his relationship with his teacher's offspring, lest he put his teacher, the Ganwu, in an awkward position.

The Seventh Prince is quite a remarkable and intelligent man.

Although his strength is far inferior to that of the Yanzhu King, his intelligence and emotional intelligence are far superior.

Dealing with such intelligent people is the most comfortable.

In the future, it wouldn't be a problem to lend a hand to the Seventh Prince; consider it an act of kindness extended to him.

At the Seventh Prince's warm invitation, the two arrived together at the reception hall located in the center of the manor.

The Seventh Prince ordered a banquet to be prepared to receive Li Jing.

In addition to the banquet, there were also wonderful song and dance performances.

After the banquet ended and he exchanged pleasantries with the Seventh Prince, Li Jing explained the purpose of his visit.

"I've heard that the Seventh Prince once admired Panxi, the leader of the Fire Phoenix Organization in the Cui Lang Starfield?"

"Panxi?" The Seventh Prince searched his memory for this familiar yet unfamiliar name, and soon remembered it.

"Oh, yes, that's true. At a banquet back then, an Immortal from the Cui Lang Starfield introduced Panxi to me."

"That kid was born a slave, but he eventually cultivated to the World Lord Level, which is quite an achievement. I just casually offered him a couple of words of encouragement, and then we never had any further contact."

"What? Did he do something wrong?"

After hearing the Seventh Prince's explanation, Li Jing nodded to himself. It turned out that they had only spoken to each other at a banquet.

That makes sense when you think about it.

As the son of the Ganwu Qianwu and Immortal of the Marquis Level, how could the Seventh Prince possibly care about the meager profits from the slave trade?

It is even less likely that they would act as a protector for Panxi and the Fire Phoenix Organization.

In the original storyline, after Luo Feng completely wiped out the Fire Phoenix Organization, the Seventh Prince did not take any action as a result.

It wasn't out of consideration for Virtual Universe Company's reputation or anything; it was simply that they didn't take Panxi seriously.
