Chapter 51

Li Yunxiao calmly raised his head, without a trace of fear, only the eternal calmness remained. His eyes, as bright as stars, he said quietly, "Prince Xiao, what a great show of power."

"Zi!~"

Everyone drew a sharp breath, looking at each other in shock. This kid really didn't care about his life; he must be crazy!

Li Baifeng in the main hall hurriedly stepped forward, bowing and saying, "Commander Xiao, Yunxiao is young and inexperienced. I hope you can consider the old man's sake..."

"Ha ha!~"

Prince Xiao suddenly burst into laughter, walking over and sitting right next to Li Yunxiao. He patted Li Yunxiao's shoulder and said with a smile, "The descendant of Li Chunyang truly has style. Ha ha, why can't I have such an interesting child? Young Master Yun, from now on, I'll call you Young Master Yun!"

"Whoa!~" A large number of people fainted, their faces drenched in cold sweat. When did Prince Xiao become so easy to talk to?

Prince Xiao also picked up a piece of lamb from the table and started eating, mumbling, "Young Master Yun, can my illness be cured?"

Li Yunxiao silently ate the meat, not saying a word.

Prince Xiao almost choked, whispering, "Kid, don't go too far! I've already given you enough face!"

Li Yunxiao's lips moved slightly, whispering back, "Give me face? Bullshit! That slap just now almost broke my shoulder. Do you dare say it wasn't intentional? I've been in so much pain that my face has turned blue, and I can only drink to cover it up!"

He showed a slightly contemplative look and recited, "I just thought of a way, but you scared me, and I forgot it all."

"Whoa!~" The officials, who had just recovered, all fell again.

Prince Xiao, seeing the cold sweat on Li Yunxiao's face from the pain, inwardly laughed but kept a serious face, "How can you remember it?"

Li Yunxiao said, "Let's drink. Drink with me first, and we'll talk about the solution later."

"Alright, let's drink!"

Prince Xiao raised his wine cup and slapped Li Yunxiao's shoulder again, watching Li Yunxiao's face turn pale, and laughed, "Today, I'll drink until we're both drunk!"

After all the commotion, one of the main characters had left, and the other sat there gloomily, the atmosphere of the banquet completely gone.

The only highlight was Li Yunxiao, who had once been a laughingstock, now entering everyone's attention, and no one dared to look down on him anymore. Lan Xuan, standing behind Lan Hong, quietly watched everything, suddenly feeling that his loss to this person was not in vain.

A moment later, Qin Zheng also stood up, saying he was tired, and the banquet ended. Everyone got up to say goodbye, but each person nodded slightly to Li Yunxiao as they left. Even Lan Hong smiled and said the Li family had someone.

Qin Ruxue ran over, her eyes red, and said, "Yunxiao, thank you."

Li Yunxiao smiled and said, "No problem, it was just a small effort."

The little girl seemed to have changed, becoming somewhat silent, nodded slightly, and left with the palace maids and eunuchs.

Li Baifeng greeted Prince Xiao first and then said to Li Yunxiao, "Yunxiao, are you going back with Uncle Four?"

Li Yunxiao waved his hand and said, "Uncle Four, you go back first. But it's not over yet."

This made Li Baifeng pause, seemingly deep in thought, and he left with the others. Prince Xiao also seemed to think of something, a flash of anger in his eyes.

Li Yunxiao secretly took a few pills, and the pain in his shoulder greatly reduced. He stood up and said, "Commander Xiao, I'll take my leave. I'll come and tell you when I remember the solution."

Prince Xiao said, "Alright, I'll always be ready for Young Master Yun. Don't forget!" He had been injured internally for a while, so he wasn't in a hurry. He drank the wine in one go and laughed as he left.

This made Chen Zhen and Han Bo look at him with completely different eyes. Chen Zhen was in awe, exclaiming, "Young Master Yun, even Prince Xiao is convinced by you. I'm proud of you. How did you know that the Bi Shui Long Jing Pill was a poison pill?"

"That's right, Master, you're so amazing, you could tell from a distance?" Meng Bai also looked at him with admiration.

Li Yunxiao lightly hummed and said, "It was a real Bi Shui Long Jing Pill, and it wasn't poisonous."

"What?" The faces of the few people changed, all in disbelief. Meng Wu was startled, looking at Meng Bai.

Li Yunxiao said, "This isn't the place to talk. Let's walk and talk."

Once out of the palace, he explained that Meng Bai had a Heavenly Poison Body. Not only Chen Zhen and Han Bo, but even Meng Bai herself was shocked.

Han Bo touched the cold sweat on his forehead and said, "Young Master Yun, you truly have both courage and wisdom. Playing tricks in front of so many people, one mistake and it's all over! At the same time, I'm secretly happy. You're willing to share such a secret with us, which means you trust us."

"Is the one in front Li Yunxiao of the Li family?" A voice came from a distance, and a figure holding a palace lantern ran over, "My master wants to invite Young Master Yun for a chat."

Li Yunxiao looked closely and saw a large sedan chair not far away, intricately carved with dragons and phoenixes, and inside, a figure was drinking alone. He said coldly, "It's late, I'm tired. Another day."

"Ha ha, it may be late, but when you meet a true friend, a thousand cups of wine are not enough. I believe I can be a true friend to Young Master Yun. Will you do me the honor?" A man's voice echoed, coming from a distance. It was Prince Qin Yue, and his voice was deep and powerful, indicating considerable strength.

Li Yunxiao responded calmly, "Even if you are a true friend, I have no interest in being alone with a man on a dark and windy night."

Qin Yue laughed, "That's easy. I have eight attendants, each as beautiful as a flower. Let them pour the wine and sing, and we can drink together. Isn't that delightful?"

Li Yunxiao thought for a moment and said, "If that's the case, it's worth a chat." He let Han Bo and the others go back first and walked toward the sedan chair.

Qin Yue's attendants were all furious, thinking Li Yunxiao meant that only with beautiful women was it worth a chat, and without them, even Prince Qin Yue wasn't worth it. But Qin Yue was broad-minded and didn't care, as long as Li Yunxiao came, he was overjoyed. He immediately picked the two most beautiful attendants to serve in the sedan chair.

Inside the sedan chair, it was even more spacious and comfortable than it looked, and the luxury was evident. Four people entered, and it wasn't crowded at all.

Li Yunxiao carefully observed the prince, who, besides his handsome appearance, had a regal demeanor and aura, which was rare among royal family members. More impressively, Prince Qin Yue was only one year older than Li Yunxiao.

Qin Yue also observed Li Yunxiao with deep meaning and smiled, "Rumors are too exaggerated. Young Master Yun has an extraordinary presence and is truly remarkable."

Li Yunxiao smiled faintly, "Your Highness flatters me. I see the dragon aura in your eyes, a sign of true nobility."

Qin Yue was surprised, not expecting Li Yunxiao to be so frank. After a moment of shock, he laughed, "Commander Bai said I would meet a great person tonight, and from then on, my path would be smooth. I didn't believe it at first. Is Young Master Yun that great person?"

Li Yunxiao was surprised, "Commander Bai of the most mysterious third team of the Imperial Guards? It's said he can predict the future and read the stars. I wonder if it's true?" Li Yunxiao knew little about astrology, but in his previous life, he had met a few powerful people who could see the past and future.

"Of course it's true," Qin Yue clapped his hands, and a figure appeared in the sedan chair. A woman, completely covered in white, sat quietly in the corner, her eyes focused.

Li Yunxiao was surprised, "Commander Bai is a woman?" He then smiled faintly, "Having such a capable person as a noble is enough. I don't want to get involved in any major political changes."

"Clang!~"

An attendant pouring wine was so startled that the golden wine cup fell to the ground, spilling the wine.

Qin Yue's eyes turned cold, and the sedan chair was filled with killing intent. The attendant was terrified, quickly kneeling to clean up the spilled wine, her body trembling, and tears streaming down her face. The other attendant was also pale, both fearing for their lives after hearing such treasonous words.

The woman in the corner, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, "Young Master Yun is indeed brave and wise, even more so than I expected. Prince Yue will surely be the ruler of Tian Shui. Your help to him will greatly benefit the Li family's long-term prosperity. Can you ignore the current difficulties of the Li family?"

Li Yunxiao fell into deep thought. He didn't have much interest in the Li family's affairs, but this body was raised by the Li family, and his bloodline was Li. Moreover, once he regained his previous strength, it would be easy to establish a sect or even a kingdom.

But his eyes narrowed, and he suddenly remembered before his fall in the Tian Dang Mountains...

If his life was in danger, how could he protect the Li family? Finding a powerful ally and guarantee for the Li family would not be in vain for this life as a member of the Li family. He sighed, "I want Prince Yue to guarantee that as long as you live, the Li family will enjoy prosperity, power, and peace."

Qin Yue's eyes narrowed, then he laughed, "Alright! I give you this promise. As long as I live, as long as the Li family has no treacherous intentions, I will ensure their long-term peace!" After making the promise, he sighed softly, "The Li
