After clearing the level, the fairies were reborn!

He watched Ding Wan defeat her enemy with a single sword strike, watched Bai Yuxi cripple Ao Lie, and watched the two women stand side by side, a strange light flashing in his eyes.

“Interesting,” he said softly.

Behind him, Prime Minister Qin Zhanming stood with his hands at his sides.

"Your Highness is referring to those two women?"

"Hmm." Mu Jun nodded. "That female sword cultivator is at the early stage of Void Refinement, her sword intent is highly developed, and her combat strength far surpasses that of others of the same level."

"That fox demon, although only at the Nascent Soul stage, is incredibly powerful and fast. It also possesses secret techniques of the demon race, making it far superior to ordinary demons."

He paused, then turned to look at Qin Zhanming.

"Prime Minister, are these two men both guest retainers of your Qin family?"

Qin Zhanming was slightly taken aback.

As a shrewd person, how could he not hear the hidden meaning in His Highness's words?

He immediately recalled the figure he had seen at the gate of the mansion a few days ago, and the fleeting, overwhelming sword intent.

“Your Highness,” he said carefully, “this old minister…does not know that young man.”

Mu Jun raised an eyebrow: "Don't you recognize me?"

"Yes," Qin Zhanming said. "As far as this old minister knows, he is just my daughter's friend."

Chapter 154 You Dare to Come In

"friend?"

Hearing the words of this old fox in front of him.

The fourth prince, sitting in his wheelchair, seemed lost in thought. "When did Miss Qin make friends like this?"

Qin Zhanming shook his head: "This old minister does not know either."

Mu Jun was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled.

"The Prime Minister is indeed worthy of being called the Prime Minister; he has actually managed to find such a guest advisor."

He patted the old man on the shoulder, which to ordinary people seemed like a king's greeting to his subject.

"Although it is not a formal recruitment, since they are living in the Qin residence, they have a connection with the Qin family. If we can take this opportunity to win them over, it will definitely benefit my grand plan."

Qin Zhanming didn't dare to breathe and immediately bowed: "Your Highness is too kind. This old minister should do his best."

Mu Jun waved his hand, his gaze returning to the water mirror.

"By the way, about my marriage..."

Qin Zhanming's heart tightened, but his face remained expressionless:

"Your Highness, please speak."

He knew that even if he said now that Xu Ze and his daughter Qin Yi were just ordinary friends, the Fourth Prince, who was so suspicious, would definitely not believe him.

as predicted.

"With the Empress Dowager missing, the situation in the court is delicate," Mu Jun said slowly. "Although I am eager to get married as soon as possible, I have to postpone it for a few days until the situation stabilizes before I can discuss it with the Prime Minister in detail."

Qin Zhanming sighed inwardly, but could only nod:

"Your Highness is wise."

His meticulously planned scheme was disrupted by the sudden appearance of this young man and the two fairies.

But now, I can't show any abnormality.

Beside him, Mu Jun looked at the two women in the water mirror, and a strange light flashed in his eyes, especially when he looked at Ding Wan.

"Prime Minister, do you think... if I were to take action, could I defeat this female swordswoman?"

Qin Zhanming was slightly taken aback, and without daring to think further, he immediately bowed and said:

"The Fourth Prince will surely win."

"Throughout history, this old minister has never seen a cultivator at the Void Refinement stage like Your Highness. Even if her sword intent were fully mastered, it wouldn't be enough..."

"Is that so?" Mu Jun chuckled. "Then I shall verify it!"

Under Qin Zhanming's shocked gaze.

Mu Jun didn't explain, but stood up from his wheelchair, and a huge aura began to rise continuously.

Now that he has come to this point, he no longer needs to hide anything.

The Empress Dowager has been confirmed missing, and now the capital is leaderless, with all factions scrambling to choose sides.

He had to reassure these people!

"Shh-"

A streak of light shot up from the East Palace and headed towards the martial arts arena.

Seeing this scene.

Qin Zhanming was filled with mixed feelings. He didn't know whether the sudden development of the situation was a good thing or a bad thing...

……

On the training ground.

Ding Wan is currently engaged in a battle among the top ten.

After her opponent surrendered after just one move, she was feeling bored and was about to turn around and leave the stage.

The next second, sensing a powerful aura from the horizon, Ding Wan instantly turned her head, and the Qingyun Sword in her hand emitted a clear and melodious hum.

My natal flying sword is excited!

They are formidable opponents!

"Refining the void period?"

Her gaze was fixed on the sky.

In an instant.

A figure landed in front of her.

"Fairy, please wait."

He was a young man dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, with a handsome face, gentle eyes and brows, and an unfathomable aura.

He stood with his hands behind his back, and there was no trace of illness about him.

The immense power of that cultivation made all the Nascent Soul stage clan leaders present gasp for breath.

The entire room fell silent instantly.

Everyone recognized this person.

Fourth Prince Mu Jun!

The strongest prodigy in the history of the Central Immortal Continent!

He once possessed the cultivation level of a Nascent Soul cultivator and was on par with the chief eunuch of the Daoist Palace.

Since breaking through to the Void Refinement stage, he has never shown his strength again, always claiming that he suffered from a hidden illness during the breakthrough, which has been difficult to cure and that he has to use a wheelchair to go out.

But now...

"The Fourth Prince is cured?!"

Someone exclaimed in surprise.

"I knew it all along. Your Highness is a genius. How could you be troubled by some minor illness?"

"Greetings, Fourth Prince!"

Everyone present bowed respectfully, as did all the prominent families. At the Hu family's table, Hu Zhilan's face was flushed, her eyes filled with infatuation as she gazed at the young man in the dragon robe.

This is the perfect man in her heart!

Handsome, powerful, noble, and the future emperor!

That country bumpkin is incomparable to him.

If only I could marry into the palace...

She secretly fantasized in her heart.

Mu Jun raised his hand in a gesture of respect, his voice gentle yet carrying an undeniable air of authority:

"My beloved subjects, please rise."

His gaze remained fixed on Ding Wan, scrutinizing this aloof and snow-white female swordswoman.

She wore a long, plain white dress, her long, black hair flowing freely, and her eyes were as cold and aloof as frost. The sword intent surrounding her even piqued the interest of this "Number One Prodigy of Central Continent."

"Fairy, please wait."

Mu Jun spoke, a smile on his face that he thought was as gentle as a spring breeze.

"I have observed that your swordsmanship is exceptional, and you are likely to be unmatched in this martial arts exchange. I wonder if I could have the opportunity to learn a thing or two from you?"

He must win over Ding Wan.

If such a talent could be brought under his command, it would certainly benefit his future plans.

Ding Wan looked at him, her eyebrows slightly furrowed.

"Not interested."

She attended this grand event because Xu Ze sent her a message, saying that he had promised Qin Yi at the Qin residence and that he would keep his word.

That's why she represented the Qin family in the battle.

But the sudden appearance of some prince seemed rather strange to Ding Wan.

"Moreover, it doesn't comply with the rules of this competition."

Ding Wan turned and walked away.

The entire audience erupted in uproar.
