Insufficient balance

  After returning to the room, I sat on the bed, thinking about what had happened during my stay in Xuda. Not only did I upgrade my magical power by one level with Da Ge, but I also learned some simple martial arts skills. My Dragon Rise Decision has reached a state close to perfection, and I should have the strength of a knight now. Everyone was surprised at the speed of my Dou Qi upgrade, but only I knew that this was inseparable from my strong mental power.

  I'm about to leave here, and I just thought of Da Hu's father, I haven't gone to see him on his behalf yet. Let's go to the Prince's residence.

  I casually asked and learned that the Prince's mansion is in the southeast of Xiu Da City. What pretext can I use to see the prince? After some thought, I remembered a person - Shan Yun Xiu Da, he is the elder brother of War Tiger, and has also fought with me before. Let's go ask for an audience with him first, and see how things go, whether or not we can meet the prince.

  I came to the gate of the Prince's mansion and asked a servant to help me send a message, asking to see Young Master Shǎn Yún. Before long, Shǎn Yún himself came out to greet me, looking very pleased to see me, and said with a smile: "Cháng Gōng, it's you! You're a rare guest, come on in, let's go inside and chat."

  I politely said: "Sorry to bother you."

  "Anyway, the one I admire most in my life is the strong. Only those who are stronger than me can be friends with me, no matter what you think, I consider you as my friend now, haha." He's really generous, and hearing his words makes me feel very happy too.

  Smiling, he said: "I'm also very happy to have a friend like you. That day's match was purely lucky, winning too luckily. If you had used the Phantom Beast Fusion Technique from the start, I would have been finished." As we spoke, we walked into the Prince's mansion, which was truly huge. The buildings within the compound were extremely grand, with courtyards nested within each other. Although it wasn't as large as the imperial palace, it could be said to be a small maze.

  Shan Yun said: "You're telling me, one of these days that phantom beast of yours is going to be too powerful, what kind of phantom beast is it?"

  Xiao Jin is still dormant inside me, I scratch my head and say with embarrassment: "It's a snake-like fantasy beast, it's quite large in size, although its power is not small, but it also consumes a lot of my magical energy. After the competition that day, it fell asleep and absorbed my magical energy. In fact, if you had persisted for a little while longer that day, it wouldn't have had enough strength either. That's why I said winning was quite lucky."

  Shan Yun took me to his own room, and we chatted freely from north to south. From our conversation, I felt that Shan Yun and Zhan Hu Da Ge's personalities were very similar, also a straightforward guy.

  I gritted my teeth and made up my mind.

  "Shan Yun big brother, I have something to talk to you about. Do you still have a younger brother?"

  After hearing what I said, Shan Yun became extremely excited and grabbed me, "Do you have news about Jing Yun?"

  "Wow, easy on me, I can't take the radiant knight's hand!" Only then did Shan Yun awkwardly release his hand.

  "I continued: 'Actually, one of my tasks this time in Xidacheng is to replace him and report safety to you all, let me take a look at the situation at home.'"

  "Then why doesn't he come back himself? Where is he now?"

  I slightly shook my head and said, "I can only tell you that he is safe now. As for where he is, I promised him not to say. The knot in his heart has not been untied yet. When I help him untie this knot, he will definitely come back."

  Shan Yun sighed and said, "It's all for the sake of his Earth Dragon Little War. Xing Yun is really foolish. At first, it was our fault that we didn't care about him enough, which led to him leaving a note and running away. Actually, Father doesn't blame him at all. Who can guarantee that they won't make mistakes? Xing Yun is the most talented among us three brothers, but now he's ended up like this, I'm really heartbroken. Since you promised not to reveal his whereabouts, I won't force you either. When you see him, tell him to hurry back and say that everyone misses him."

  I nodded and said, "Now I can rest assured. When I get back, I'll be able to report to Big Brother Zhan Hu. By the way, I forgot to tell you that he and I have already sworn brotherhood, so naturally, as his older brother, you are also my older brother, haha! I think that when Big Brother Zhan Hu's martial arts skills reach the level of a Luminous Knight, he will definitely return. That day is not far off. How about Your Highness, Prince? Is your body still doing well?"

  Shan Yun said: "Dad's body is still quite strong, it's just that he has aged a lot compared to before. Although he didn't say it, I know he misses Jingyun very much."

  I said: "Alright, Shanyun brother, don't tell the news of Zhanhu brother to the Prince for now. I'm about to leave here, give me a year's time and I will definitely help you bring back Zhanhu brother."

  "Alright, I believe you. Thank you very much for taking care of our household matters. If there's anything else we need in the future, just let me know and I'll fully support you. This is the token of my Second Legion, it still has some influence in Xuda. You take it, it will be helpful for you to do things in the future."

  I didn't stand on ceremony either, reached out and took it, "Alright, Dashun brother, I'll head back first then. I'm leaving tomorrow and still need to go back and say goodbye to everyone."

  Shan Yun saw me all the way to the door, and I went back to school along the same road.

  There is one more person in the wooden house, Hong Xue Hua Lun. It was because of her that the challenge was initiated last time. She's here again, won't she cause trouble again?

  She spoke before I could, "Chang Gong, you're back. I heard you're leaving tomorrow. I'm really sorry about what happened last time."

  The teacher smiled and said, "You've apologized a lot today, this matter can't be blamed on you."

  "I replied faintly: 'Hello, Miss Hualun. Dongri is my good brother, you should know his temper. If you really like him, you'll have to take good care of him in the future. I wouldn't want my brother to be wronged. I'm going to rest now, we still have a long journey tomorrow.'"

  My words made Dong Ri and Hong Xue both blush, even the usually quiet Xiuzi laughed and said: "Chang Gong's words are really straightforward, I'm impressed, haha." Gao De and Xing Ao were also laughing loudly.

  Hong Xue's face turned red as she said, "Others won't come, you all bully me." Although her words were like this, my words had already deeply imprinted on her heart. Hong Xue secretly made up her mind that from now on, she must let Dong Ri accept herself and make him shake off his inferiority complex, bravely facing the future world.

  But in winter, there is another idea in mind, which is escape.
