The story finally came to an end when the twenty-one princes entered the palace to meet Emperor Chu and were kidnapped.
As for the reward mentioned by His Highness King Chen, Lin Bai only received verbal praise from Emperor Chu.
That's what Emperor Chu said... wait until his birthday is over before discussing merit and rewards.
Okay, the credit has been accumulated anyway, let’s see what reward the Emperor of Chu will give him after his birthday.
Back in the Tianshui Sect's palace, there were a lot of troubles waiting for Lin Bai.
The second round of challenges for the warriors from the Northern Territory has already begun. Two days later, still at the top of the Moon Tower, the warriors from the Northern Territory will challenge the golden warrior from the Eastern Territory in public.
Lin Bai, Chen Yule, and Yi Song had agreed to go to the scene to have a look.
Ever since Lin Bai and the others wore golden masks and beat the Northern Territory warriors to pieces, the Northern Territory warriors have been thinking of ways to regain their place and continue their plans.
After Lin Bai and others received Chao Yushi's advice, they decided to stand still and wait and see.
Therefore, when they go to the Yueding Tower this time, Lin Bai and the others probably won't fight with the Northern Territory warriors.
Mainly, I want to see what other methods the northern warriors will use next.
In addition, Lin Bai also received two "unrejectable" invitations.
Why is it said to be “unrejectable”?
Because of these two invitations, one came from the twenty-first prince who had just escaped from trouble, and the other came from the eldest princess of Chu State, "Princess Qingyue."
The twenty-first prince made it clear in the invitation... that he would invite Lin Bai to the palace for a talk, and that Lin Bai must attend.
This tone did not give Lin Bai any room to refuse.
But Lin Bai also knew what the twenty-first prince’s intention was.
After all, in the Tianxiang neighborhood, the twenty-first prince suffered so many "inhuman" tortures. If word spread, it would inevitably cause irreparable damage to the face of the royal family and the twenty-first prince.
The only people who knew about this matter were Lin Bai and Zhu Mo.
Naturally, Zhu Mo would not say much. As the commander of the Zhaoxing Division, he knew very well what should be said and what should not be said.
Therefore, the twenty-first prince summoned Lin Bai, presumably to beat Lin Bai.
As for the invitation from "Princess Qingyue", the invitation was even more direct...if Lin Bai didn't go, she would come to Tianshui Sect to visit in person.
Warriors inside and outside the imperial capital all knew that this "Princess Qingyue" had an extremely eccentric temper. When she lost her temper, even the Emperor of Chu would have to show courtesy.
After all... Emperor Chu still wanted to call her sister.
Lin Bai also consulted with his ancestor Pan Qing, and the elders of Tianshui Sect unanimously decided... It would be better not to provoke this madman who holds great power.
So Lin Bai still had to meet Princess Qingyue.
As for why Princess Qingyue wanted to see him... it was most likely because of the matter at Huaxianyuan.
This matter involved so many things that Lin Bai couldn't make any wild guesses. He could only make plans after meeting the eldest princess Qingyue.
At noon that day, Lin Bai went to the prince's palace to meet the twenty-first prince.
There were many servants in the twenty-first prince's palace. After hearing Lin Bai announcing his home, the servants quickly led Lin Bai into the waterside pavilion in the palace.
In the water pavilion, the twenty-first prince drank a little and was a little tipsy. He was leaning on the recliner and his drunken eyes looked at the dancing fairy dancing in the water pavilion in front of him.
Lin Bai took a closer look... the dancing girl was clearly the Moon Dancer.
I really didn't expect that when Prince Twenty-one returned to the palace, he would immediately call Miss Yue Wu.
It's probably because... he was abused by useless people in Tianxiang District, so the twenty-first prince is in urgent need of "self-salvation", right?
Inside the waterside pavilion, musicians and harpists played sweet and melodious tunes.
"Your Highness, Lord Wolf is here."
The servant asked Lin Bai to wait outside the waterside pavilion while he went to the twenty-first prince to report.
"Lin Bai..." Upon hearing these two words, the twenty-first prince immediately sobered up from his drunkenness and waved his hands to disperse the musicians in the waterside pavilion. Even the Moon Dancer listened to the dance.
The twenty-first prince looked back and saw Lin Bai standing outside the waterside pavilion.
That figure was exactly the same as the one he saw in Tianxiang Street.
The twenty-first prince then said: "Let Mr. Langhou come over."
The servant took the order and brought Lin Bai to the waterside pavilion.
"I have met Your Highness." Lin Bai bowed his hands in a neither humble nor condescending manner.
On the round terrace of the water pavilion, the Moon Dancer girl was dancing in an airy manner. When she saw Lin Bai again, her face showed a hint of astonishment.
At this moment, the music had stopped, and the Moon Dancer did not continue to dance, but stood quietly on the round platform.
After being slightly stunned, Miss Yue Wu bowed and bowed to Lin Bai, "I have met Mr. Wolf Marquis."
Lin Bai smiled and nodded to Yuewu girl, indicating that she didn't need to be polite.
The twenty-first prince looked a little sullen and said, "You don't need to be polite, Mr. Wolf Marquis. Please give me a seat."
The servants moved tables and chairs and asked Lin Bai to sit next to the twenty-first prince.
Lin Bai didn't say anything, sat down directly, and then looked at the Moon Dancer on the round platform.
"Mr. Wolf Marquis, do you know why I came to you today?" The twenty-first prince had a straight face, and his tone revealed the majesty of a superior.
"I don't know." Lin Bai was not frightened by the twenty-first prince, but responded calmly.
Although the twenty-first prince is a member of the royal family, in the final analysis he is just an idle king with no real power.
Lin Bai had met His Royal Highness King Chen and the third prince, and even the Emperor of Chu. How could he be overwhelmed by the aura of the twenty-first prince?
The twenty-first prince raised his sword eyebrows, gritted his teeth and whispered: "You, don't tell anyone about my being caught..."
"I know." Lin Bai responded.
Seeing Lin Bai being so casual, the twenty-first prince didn't seem to take him seriously, which made the twenty-first prince feel a little angry.
Today he called Lin Bai here, originally intending to beat Lin Bai to stop talking nonsense.
But he didn't expect that his aura was completely unable to intimidate Lin Bai.
On the contrary, Lin Bai's aura was vaguely superior to that of his prince.
"You!" Prince Twenty-one said with a gloomy look, "It's good that you know."
Lin Bai said: "If this is the reason for Your Highness, then I will take my leave."
"Please rest assured, Your Highness, I won't say anything nonsense."
"I have no interest in His Highness, and I have no interest in His Highness's romance at all."
"Farewell."
After saying that, Lin Bai stood up and left.
The twenty-first prince's expression changed slightly, "Did I let you go?"
Lin Bai chuckled and said, "If His Highness has any other instructions, just say so."
"If there are no other instructions, I will take my leave."
"I have to meet a more important person today!"
"Hahaha." The twenty-first prince laughed heartily, "Is there anyone more important than me in the entire imperial capital?"
Lin Bai glanced at the twenty-first prince and asked, "Is Princess Qingyue more important than you?"
Qingyue... Aunt... The twenty-first prince's eyes widened and he was so angry that he couldn't say a word for a long time.
