Chapter 13

Upon hearing this, Chen Chang'an stopped in his tracks and looked at the person approaching.

The others, seeing this, all respectfully bowed.

"Pay respects to the Second Prince!"

"Pay respects to the Second Prince!"

...

Chen Chang'an narrowed his eyes.

The person before him was exceptionally handsome, with a sword-like brow and star-like eyes. He was the Second Prince of the Great Zhou, Ji Canghai.

In the Great Zhou Academy, there were four types of students: Jia, Yi, Bing, and Ding!

Chen Chang'an had long been the top student among the Jia students.

The person before him, the perennial second place.

He had long held the second position.

Among them, the young master of the Liu family, Liu Tianle, was third.

The young master of the Wang family, Wang Deshui, was fourth.

The young master of the Wu family, Wu Meiling, was fifth.

"Huh, so it's the Second Prince."

Chen Chang'an narrowed his eyes and spoke calmly.

"Hahaha, I knew you wouldn't die. Indeed, not only have you returned, but your cultivation has also been restored!"

Ji Canghai, seemingly oblivious to Chen Chang'an's coldness, came over and put his arm around Chen Chang'an's shoulder, speaking warmly.

"By the way, Big Brother Chen, what you did was a bit over the top. It might cause a major disaster!

I've already discussed it with my father, the emperor. Our Great Zhou will firmly stand on your side!"

Ji Canghai whispered in Chen Chang'an's ear, his face serious and filled with deep concern.

But Chen Chang'an was no longer the same person he was a year ago.

If counted by his actual age, he was already 120 years old.

At this moment, he saw a flash of jealousy in Ji Canghai's eyes.

Chen Chang'an's heart stirred.

He had been stripped of his Overlord Bloodline and thrown into the Demon Burial Abyss. The first people he suspected were the young masters of the Liu, Wang, and Wu families.

Now it seemed that his best friend, the Second Prince Ji Canghai...

...also had a suspicion!

Because only Ji Canghai often showed jealousy towards his Overlord Bloodline.

The two of them engaged in polite conversation and eventually arrived at the academy's arena.

When Chen Chang'an and Ji Canghai arrived, they instantly drew the attention of many people.

"Wow, Big Brother Chang'an, that's great, you're really fine!" At this moment, a beautiful woman, whose beauty made one's heart tremble, walked over.

She looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old, with beautiful eyes, cherry lips, and eyebrows like the moon.

She approached Chen Chang'an, bringing a fragrant breeze and a smile of surprise.

Beside her was a man in a white robe, tall and handsome.

Seeing these two, Chen Chang'an nodded slightly and clasped his hands, saying, "Your Highness, Princess Mingyue."

The newcomers were none other than the Crown Prince Ji Cangshan and Princess Ji Mingyue.

"Hehe, indeed, the prodigy of our Great Zhou has returned! However... Chen Chang'an, as soon as you returned, you caused a huge disaster. You really are a worry!"

Ji Cangshan spoke in a rather indifferent tone.

It seemed he wasn't very fond of Chen Chang'an.

Before Chen Chang'an could respond, Ji Mingyue, full of concern, said, "Brother, this matter can't be blamed on Big Brother Chang'an. There must be a reason!"

She looked at Chen Chang'an, her eyes filled with worry, and said, "Big Brother Chang'an, how can you still dare to appear here?

You should quickly leave Chang'an City and avoid the storm. The Jun family is one of the four major families of the Holy Land, and the consequences will be severe..."

"I'm fine, thank you for your concern, Princess."

Chen Chang'an smiled at her, a rare warm smile on his face.

He was well aware of Princess Mingyue's feelings for him.

Unfortunately, back then, his eyes were only on Gu Qincheng, and he didn't realize that a true friend was right beside him.

Ji Mingyue was taken aback, then became incredibly happy.

Back then, although Chen Chang'an was respectful to her, he always kept a natural distance. But now, it seemed... different.

"Bad news, Big Brother, the young master of the Liu family is coming this way... along with Gu Qincheng and Liu Sisi!"

At this moment, Chen Xuan, who was behind Chen Chang'an, spoke in a low voice. The other Chen family members all had serious expressions.

"Hey, I thought it was someone else. It turns out it's the young master who relies on the elders to bully others, with the heart of a bear and the gall of a leopard."

As the voice fell, a group of people slowly approached.

Leading them were Liu Tianle, Wang Deshui, Wu Meiling, and their companions, Gu Qincheng and Liu Sisi.

Behind them followed a large group of family members.

"Pay respects to the Crown Prince, Second Prince, and Princess."

When they arrived, they all bowed to the three members of the Ji family.

"Hehe, it's you, Liu and the others! I heard your cultivation has advanced to the Tenth Level of the Heavenly Martial Realm. Truly impressive!"

Ji Canghai looked at them and spoke warmly.

Ji Cangshan snorted, his arrogance evident.

Ji Mingyue completely ignored them, her gaze fixed on Chen Chang'an.

Chen Chang'an took in everyone's expressions and glanced at the newcomers, saying disdainfully, "Whether I am a useless young master or not, you can ask your brother in hell, can't you?"

"Chen Chang'an, you are bold and lawless. Do you really think no one can deal with you!"

Hearing Chen Chang'an bring up the matter of killing their brother, Liu Tianle roared in anger.

At the same time, Wang Deshui and Wu Meiling also had furious expressions!

The three of them, at the Tenth Level of the Heavenly Martial Realm, released their aura, forming a formidable pressure that descended upon Chen Chang'an!

This commotion drew the attention of many people, who gathered around, eager to see the spectacle.

Chen Chang'an narrowed his eyes, looking at Liu Tianle and speaking disdainfully, "Hehe, it's true that someone can deal with me, but I'm sure it's definitely not you!"

"Chen Chang'an, you won't be arrogant for long. The Jun family will send people soon! We'll see how you die then!" Gu Qincheng stared at Chen Chang'an and suddenly spoke.

Chen Chang'an glanced at her coldly. For a woman who could discard her reputation to bind herself to a major family, he felt even more disgust, and said disdainfully, "Idiot!"

"You... you... hmpf, you're ungrateful!!"

Gu Qincheng was furious. She finally understood that the man who once treasured her now regarded her as worthless!

She felt an inexplicable pain in her heart, a wave of regret surging up.

"Qincheng, ignore him. He's just a clown, and he won't last long." Liu Sisi hugged Gu Qincheng's arm, comforting her.

Gu Qincheng's heart was filled with complex emotions.

"Hey, hey, hey, Chen Chang'an, after all, you were once lovers. Why be so harsh?"

At this moment, Wang Deshui, with a lecherous look, spoke mockingly, "No wonder you're angry. Your woman became someone else's plaything...

Tsk, tsk, no wonder you were so angry that you had the elders kill Jun Shao. I really admire you, I really do! You're a real man!"

As Wang Deshui's words fell, the people around them burst into laughter!
