Chapter 1083: Chapter 1083: See Who is Pretentious

At the same time, newspapers from all major Cultivation Worlds went into a frenzy publishing this news.

"The Imperial Family Secret Realm trial returns, with three individuals obtaining titles. His Majesty the Emperor favors only Long Fei, who might be the designated candidate for this Imperial Son-in-law competition."

"Extra, extra! A lad from the remote hills has caught the admiration of His Majesty the Emperor and is set to soar to the heavens! If you want your son to succeed, remember to add ’Fei’ to his name, guaranteeing his meteoric rise."

"Chang’an Daily exclusively reveals, during the recent siege of Mount Hua Mystic Yin Sect by the Four Major Sects of the South, the Princess briefly encountered Long Fei. Later on, Princess of Pure Tranquility, sister to Her Royal Highness The Princess, has been notably close to Long Fei, hinting at deeper implications. This martial contest for marriage seems to have a clear front runner."

Chang’an Daily, being the largest official newspaper, is commissioned by the Imperial Court and represents the stance of the Court.

With Chang’an Daily speaking out, one can imagine the shock of the crowd, uncovering this hidden relationship between Long Fei and the Princess.

Everyone secretly speculated, could the Old Emperor truly be considering marrying his granddaughter to this young man?

On the same day, Dragon Phoenix Daily expressed strong protest against this trial. The Disciples from all sects haven’t returned yet; the court should not rashly decide the winners and losers and should give the young ones more time.

Chang’an Daily immediately retorted, calling Dragon Phoenix Daily a ’meddlesome mouse’.

This matter concerns the Imperial Court; how can a civilian newspaper recklessly discuss the Court’s decisions.

Dragon Phoenix Daily then declared that they represent the Daoist Sects worldwide, advocating for justice in the court and warning against going against the general trends of the world.

Before Long Fei and others could respond, the two newspapers had already started clashing.

It is clear to the discerning eye that Chang’an Daily is voicing for the Crown Prince, while Dragon Phoenix Daily is speaking for the Third Prince.

Different interests lead to differing perspectives.

At this time, it was noisy outside.

Long Fei was brought to the outer area of the Royal Family’s ancestral temple, while Chu Feng and Wang Xiaoya were taken away by Wang Xun of the Imperial Guards.

Wang Xun did not express it, but he was internally worried about the safety of this brother.

Before leaving, Wang Jie informed Wang Xun that he would join hands with Chu Feng and others.

Thus, Wang Xun spoke for Long Fei and his group.

Chu Feng took out Wang Jie and Murong Chong from the Qiankun Bag.

The two were still self-regulating, not seeming like healing but more like breaking their own shackles.

Chu Feng briefly explained to Wang Xun what happened in the Secret Realm.

Wang Xun, cursing shamelessly, stood up clenching his fists, his face flushed with anger, "Before entering the Secret Realm, I already knew the news that Ji Haotian was hosting various factions to target you. I didn’t expect them to dare to do it. To act this way in front of foreigners is a disgrace!"

Chu Feng said, "Since ancient times, struggles within the Imperial Family, suspicions between fathers and sons, and fratricide among brothers, are merely actions against outsiders, and thus they hold no reservations."

"Rebellious official and traitors!"

Wang Xun scolded, quickly regaining composure, sat down in the chair, showing his professional astuteness.

He said to Chu Feng, "The situation outside is chaotic; stay here in my Imperial Guard camp for recuperation! I doubt they would dare to cause trouble here."

Chu Feng bowed his fist in thanks, "Then, thank you greatly, Brother Wang."

Wang Xun waved his hand, "Brother Chu, you don’t need to be polite, having brought my brother back, I already owe you a favor. That boy has always been frivolous, but he has changed since being with you. My father also wrote to me to look after you. I am more than willing to do something for you."

His words were decisive, without a trace of falsity.

Among the Wang brothers, he is known for his integrity, which is also why he occupies such a high position.

Chu Feng nodded, not saying much more.

After Wang Xun left, he and Wang Xiaoya also sat down to regulate their own bodies, just waiting for Long Fei to return.

Outside the ancestral temple, Princess of Pure Peace Ji Wanrong stood with a cold face, meeting Long Fei once again.

The last time at the foot of Mount Hua, the two of them had a big fight.

Long Fei was impudent and took advantage of her several times with wandering hands, making her always believe he was a playboy.

The two looked at each other with odd expressions, devoid of any adoration in their eyes.

Clearly, Ji Wanrong was still a bit angry.

Long Fei awkwardly greeted, "Your Highness, you’re here too!"

Ji Wanrong’s face darkened as she said, "I don’t know what means you used to get here, but I can tell you clearly, the man of my dreams is not you."

Long Fei replied indifferently, "That’s great. I was actually wondering how to explain this to you before I came. Since you feel this way, I can rest easy."

Ji Wanrong intended to demean this unknown country bumpkin deliberately.

But unexpectedly, he turned the tables, even daring to disdain her?

She said coldly, "What are you at ease about?"

Long Fei explained, "You see, back in my hometown, I’ve already married. And here, I have a wife who hasn’t yet moved in. If you were to marry me as well, wouldn’t you become a mistress? Hence, I have no intention of winning over the princess, rest assured."

"You..."

Ji Wanrong’s face turned red, speechless from annoyance at this arrogant fellow.

She originally wanted to humiliate him by flaunting her princess status, seeking revenge for past grievances, but he didn’t care about her at all.

How absurd! She is the mighty princess, admired by many, with countless nobles and disciples of renowned families eager to marry her.

And this man treated her like a weed by the roadside, even brazenly calling her a mistress.

Biting her teeth, she fumed, "Fine, it’s good you have this realization. Later, when my Imperial Grandfather brings up marriage, I hope you’ll keep your backbone and outright refuse."

"Of course!"

Long Fei’s expression remained calm.

Ji Wanrong took a deep breath and stared at him speechlessly for a long while, muttering internally, "Scoundrel, narcissist. I have the right to dislike you, what right do you have to dislike me?"

She stomped her foot in anger and left, leaving Long Fei raising his eyebrows, puzzled about what was on her mind.

He was merely speaking to her liking, why had she become unhappy?

She didn’t look up to him and he didn’t look up to her either, wasn’t this an ideal situation?

But on second thought, the Princess’ beauty and mature charm did surpass that of Ji Wanyu.

When angry, her round, rosy cheeks were quite amusing.

Soon an Eunuch Official came out and summoned Long Fei to appear before the Emperor.

The hall’s door opened, and Long Fei stepped inside.

With a clang, the door shut.

The interior was dimly lit and surprisingly spacious.

He had expected the common throne room with a Dragon Chair seen on television, but instead, there were several rows of ancestral plaques.

Long Fei realized this was the Grand Ancestral Temple, a place honoring the ancestors of the Royal Family.

Below these plaques were golden three-legged cauldrons arranged in a circle.

There were nine cauldrons in total, shimmering with Mysterious Light and continuously drawing golden rays from the outside into the cauldrons.

An old man in a Dragon Robe sat among them, his body shriveled, apparently near his life’s end.

These golden lights enveloped him, resembling a golden dragon spiraling around him.

Long Fei raised his eyebrows and thought to himself, "Could this be the Dragon Qi?"
