Li Chengfeng did not expect the Crown Prince to suddenly want to go to Cheng 'an, which was thousands of miles away.
Wasn't this the same as going back to where they came from?
Li Chengfeng was not a suspicious person, but the Crown Prince's identity made him look like a normal person.
His identity was too special, and there were countless fights for profit around him.
Countless interest groups were involved, and even the Great Devil and Great Cultivators were involved.
Li Chengfeng had only just started out. If he was caught in the crossfire, his best outcome would be to die a horrible death.
Li Chengfeng's plan was to send the Crown Prince to a safe place as soon as possible. That way, he would be able to repay Zhao Feiyue for her help. If not, no matter how much of a saint he was, he would not sacrifice himself, the entire Cleansing Moon Sect and Hidden Sword Court just to save the Crown Prince.
He had fought alongside Li Chengfeng for too long, he had experienced too much blood and fire. Li Chengfeng knew that his life no longer belonged to him alone.
He carried too much hope. If he died, not only would Cleansing Moon Sect lose all hope, Hidden Sword Court would also disappear from the world like a meteor.
Grand Senior Brother, Ouyang Nan, Qin Mieqin, and Blockhead would all be sacrificed for nothing!
That was why Li Chengfeng knew that he did not have the right to be stubborn!
Or rather, the Crown Prince in front of him was far from being able to move Li Chengfeng.
Li Chengfeng seriously suspected that the Crown Prince's reputation was all 'acting'. His so-called persona was all an exaggeration.
Zhao Feiyue had personally confirmed this. Didn't she say that the Fourth Prince had a noble character?
A prince with such a noble character would sacrifice countless citizens for his own benefits and the throne?
To them, the deaths of these citizens were just numbers!
How could someone like this be considered a noble character?
From Li Chengfeng's point of view, Zhao Feiyue had interacted with them since she was young. Naturally, her Third and Fourth Brothers would take good care of this extraordinary little sister.
She could not see their dark side, and could only see their bright side. That was why she concluded that they had a 'noble character'.
That was why, if Zhao Feiyue had not asked for help, Li Chengfeng would have left as soon as he found out about the Crown Prince's true identity.
The Crown Prince was also sizing Li Chengfeng up. Zhao Feiyue was a very unique existence in the Daqi Kingdom. It could be said that she was someone from the Nine Heavens, but also from the human world. However, on the other hand, she was neither an immortal from the Nine Heavens nor a mortal.
She was of royal blood, but she was also above the royal family. Her existence broke the iron rule that the royal family was not allowed to cultivate. She was the symbol of the royal family and the existence that everyone in the world of cultivation looked at.
The Emperor, Zhao Bairen, regarded her as the most precious pearl of the Daqi Kingdom. He loved her dearly. It could be said that he had watched her grow up. When she became a beauty that could cause the downfall of a city and a state, many vassal states and neighboring countries came to propose marriage to her. However, Zhao Feiyue never showed any interest in them.
As her biological brother, he had never seen her smile. Even when facing his father, her eyes were cold.
It was only when she was with her two brothers that her gaze softened.
Therefore, he had always wondered, what kind of man in this world would be worthy of her?
Did such a man exist in this world?
The Crown Prince thought about it. He could probably count the number of such geniuses with one hand. However, Zhao Feiyue had seen all of them, and had never heard of any rumors about them.
It was only now that the Crown Prince finally understood that her "destined one" had appeared. So the man who could make her unconsciously reveal a sweet smile and a gentle gaze just by looking at him looked like this!
From the looks of it, the Crown Prince was very satisfied with Li Chengfeng's appearance and temperament.
Since ancient times, the first test to become an official was knowledge. However, there was also an extremely important test, and that was the evaluation of appearance during the interview.
A person with a crooked appearance could not become an official, or rather, could not become a high-ranking official.
This was because officials represented the face of the Imperial Court. Since ancient times, the descriptions of the faces of the Imperial Court's high-ranking officials were: dignified, dignified, majestic, and human-like. If translated, it would be: handsome man!
In other words, no matter which dynasty or which world it was, looking at one's face would always be the main theme!
Ugly men could not become high-ranking officials. This was an unspoken rule in the Imperial Court, especially one that was supported by history.
During the Great Chen Dynasty, the Prime Minister Lu Qi was extremely ugly, but he was eloquent. This made the Emperor deeply feel that one should not judge a book by its cover, so he was given a heavy responsibility.
However, because of his ugly appearance, women could not help but snicker when they saw him. No one was an exception.
Lu Qi did not say anything, but he was deeply ashamed of himself. He felt extremely inferior, so he developed a negative character of jealousy and narrow-mindedness. It was also because of this that when he was in power, he wantonly suppressed the virtuous and capable officials, causing flatterers to appear one after another. In the end, the powerful Chen Dynasty fell apart.
There were many cases like Lu Qi, such as Zhen Beifeng, who caused the Eight Princes' Rebellion a thousand years ago. These were terrifying cases of ugly men causing trouble in the Imperial Court and holding great power.
Although there were also many cases of ugly men benefiting the people after gaining power, but … these two cases were too destructive. One directly caused the dynasty to collapse, the other caused the dynasty to fall. Both cases were recorded in the history books, becoming cases that followed the script.
That was why, for thousands of years, beauty standards were deeply rooted in the mainstream culture of the Imperial Court.
And Li Chengfeng had the kind of appearance that made people think that he was extraordinary at first glance!
In fact, anyone who came into contact with him would be impressed by his unique charisma, thinking that he would definitely achieve great things!
The Crown Prince studied Li Chengfeng, satisfied with his initial impression.
Li Chengfeng asked the Crown Prince, "But Cheng 'an is too far away!"
"If even you can't think of it, then it means that the people who tried to assassinate me probably can't think of it either!"
"But no matter where you go, you will eventually return to the capital. If I were an assassin, I would just have to set up an ambush along the way and wait for my prey!"
The Crown Prince smiled and said, "You're right. However, what you and the assassins don't know is that my father and my grandfathers built many teleportation matrixes in secret, and Cheng 'an has one that no one knows about."
Zhao Feiyue's eyes brightened. "Ah, where does this array lead to?"
The Crown Prince smiled. "The palace!"
Zhao Feiyue was shocked. "Why didn't I know about this?"
The Crown Prince smiled. "There are less than three people in the world who know about this secret.
My Imperial Father only told me about it last year. "
Zhao Feiyue nodded. "That's good. Let's go to Cheng 'an now!"
Li Chengfeng was in a daze. When he left Spiritual Mountain, he regretted not going home. Now, he was bringing the Crown Prince and Princess home?
Was this … a return to his hometown?
= = =
Hmm, I know there are people who want to use Prime Minister Liu Luoguo and the famous ugly official Sun Jiacheng during the Yongzheng Period …
But that was a TV series!
These two people were similar in history, but they were not ugly!
Important things have to be repeated three times, they were not ugly!
Also, the two examples I used were also based on history. They were modified to be used in the Heaven Breaking World!
Finally, I have to say that looking at one's face … is indeed a mainstream aesthetic culture. It's not a joke.
If you're interested, you can flip through the history books. None of the famous officials in history were ugly. In fact, most of them were … handsome men, or at least had a good aura …
Of course, the feudal lords and family heads were exceptions. After all … they were the bosses, so what if they were ugly?
You dare pick on the boss?
You're rebelling, you useless otaku … cough cough cough … I'm talking about myself …
