Lord Zhou's forehead was full of black lines. You bastard, a momentary slip of the hand?
A momentary slip of the hand and you pinched the thigh?
That behavior was completely unbefitting of a prince!
Lord Zhou rolled his eyes and didn't say anything else. He couldn't show too much in front of the First Prince, but in his heart, he had already vetoed the First Prince's actions.
The rumors about the First Prince being lustful are true. This is the first time he's met my daughter, and he's already touching her. How can he do it again in the future?
This won't do. I have to stay away from the First Prince in the future.
With that thought, Lord Zhou hurriedly bid farewell to the First Prince and fled with his daughter.
The First Prince was speechless. He didn't expect that a simple pinch of the thigh would cause such a huge uproar.
The First Prince's face gradually darkened as he looked in the direction of Ye Qing.
He knew that Ye Qing was a prodigy of the Azure Cloud Empire. In the past, the First Prince had sent people to rope him in, but some conflict later led to a grudge between him and Ye Qing.
"This kid is really something. He can actually force Pill King Li to this extent!"
The First Prince stared at Ye Qing in the sky, his heart cold.
However, he had many geniuses under his command. Even if Ye Qing was recruited by the Seventh Prince, it wouldn't affect the overall situation.
It was just that the First Prince was very unhappy.
In the palace, Pill King Li was still continuing his business. He was wearing a shiny red thong and was running wildly. When he passed by some houses, he bumped into palace maids.
The palace maids cried out in surprise and hurriedly left, covering their eyes.
Some of the concubines in the palace blushed in embarrassment when they saw Pill King Li running. They secretly thought that Pill King Li had no sense of propriety and dared to act like this in the palace.
Elixir King Li's departure caused a great commotion in the palace.
The palace guards even came out to maintain order.
However, when the guards saw that the person running was Pill King Li, they were all stunned and didn't dare to stop him.
In the palace, anyone with a little bit of status knew that Pill King Li was an expert under the Seventh Prince's command. He was also an out-of-body realm expert.
Normal imperial guards wouldn't dare to recklessly fight Pill King Li.
The situation had reached a stalemate. The palace guards were only responsible for maintaining order and preventing the women nearby from approaching. This created a wide space for Pill King Li.
Elixir King Li was so angry that he was about to vomit blood. It was already a miracle that he hadn't fainted on the spot after being humiliated like this.
As time passed, the long process finally came to an end. Pill King Li felt as if he had gone through a lifetime.
It had only been a few minutes, but it felt like an eternity to Pill King Li.
After finishing his long run, Elixir King Li hurriedly put on his clothes. Feeling the mocking gazes from all around him, Elixir King Li didn't have the courage to continue staying in the seventh prince's mansion. He immediately rushed out of the palace to find a place to calm down.
The Seventh Prince let out a long sigh, his face full of black lines. He originally wanted to use this opportunity to help Ye Qing establish his prestige, but he didn't expect that things would develop to the current situation.
For better or worse, Pill King Li had followed the Seventh Prince for many years and was his right-hand man. The Seventh Prince couldn't bear to let Pill King Li leave just like this.
Therefore, the Seventh Prince chased after Pill King Li the moment he rushed out of the palace.
Only the third princess, Ye Qing, and a group of prodigies were left in the mansion.
At this moment, all the prodigies present were convinced. They couldn't help but admire Ye Qing's strength.
No matter how good Ye Qing's martial cultivation was, his attainments in pill dao alone were enough to make him a hero!
Only a few of the older generation present were still unconvinced. They just didn't show it yet.
Among them were powerful runemasters, heaven-defying beast tamers, and some amazing chefs. They were all the cream of the crop in their sub-professions.
There were also martial experts whose strength was unfathomable. They wouldn't listen to Ye Qing's orders.
Of course, Ye Qing wasn't interested in the so-called first place at all. After chasing away Pill King Li, the third princess arranged for Ye Qing to be given a luxurious room as his temporary residence.
After settling down in the Seventh Prince's mansion, Ye Qing began to cultivate, preparing to break through to the Out of Aperture realm.
…
In the dazzling palace, a group of experts gathered in the First Prince's mansion to discuss some matters.
The First Prince's expression was cold as he said slowly, "You all saw what happened to Pill King Li just now. According to our intelligence, Pill King Li is acting like this because of that kid called Ye Qing!"
The First Prince's expression was dark, and his tone carried a hint of killing intent.
The prodigies present all caught the First Prince's killing intent and understood what he was thinking.
"Your Highness, I'll go to the Seventh Prince's mansion and bring back Ye Qing's head!"
A young man in black stepped forward and volunteered. He was more skilled in assassination and was a more suitable candidate.
"No, who says I want Ye Qing to die?
It's not appropriate for us to take action in the palace, "the First Prince said calmly.
The crowd was stunned. They didn't understand the First Prince's intentions.
"Ye Qing is an extremely talented person. If he's willing to repent, he can still be put in an important position."
The First Prince continued. Everyone in the palace fell silent as they waited for the First Prince's next instructions.
They knew that the First Prince had already made his decision. They didn't need to make any suggestions. They just needed to follow the First Prince's orders.
"Mei Ji, secretly go to Seventh Brother's mansion tonight. Find Ye Qing and persuade him to surrender."
As the First Prince spoke, he glanced at a beautiful woman in the crowd.
She had a sexy figure and wore a fiery-red dress. Her eyes were full of charm, and her snow-white shoulders seemed to emit a mesmerizing fragrance.
Her name was Mei Ji, and she was an expert under the First Prince. She was most skilled in the art of seduction.
Very few hot-blooded men could resist Mei Ji's temptation. In the past, there were many characters with strong self-control who eventually fell to their knees under Mei Ji's pomegranate skirt. Among them, there were even some enlightened monks.
"Mei Ji, if necessary, you can use the honey trap. Do you understand?"
The First Prince added. He still held Ye Qing in high regard.
In his heart, Ye Qing wouldn't be able to affect the overall situation of the trial. However, if he could get Ye Qing's help and recruit him, he would be of great use. He could further strengthen his side and weaken the Seventh Prince's strength.
"Your Highness, don't worry. Mei Ji will definitely do it!"
Mei Ji nodded slightly, then bowed and left. She returned to her room to make some preparations.
