Chapter 8: The Second Ruffian of the Imperial Capital

  Emperor Lord

  Early morning, looking north from the mountain peak!

  A myriad of rays, from the sky above, sprinkled down. Although unable to dispel this thick fog that has lingered for years, it also brought a warm feeling to the mountain peaks.

  Standing on the mountain peak, gazing afar into the distance in the still of night, my eyes are filled with a piercing chill and deep longing!

  It was here that year, where mother was caught, and the people who took away mother also disappeared in the direction they were looking at, like a god, riding on clouds and fog.

  "It's been more than four years already!"

  No! The words fell, and Chen Ye himself was the first to deny it. That was four years ago... For him, it's already a lifetime!

  At the top of the mountain, Chen Ye didn't stay for long, nor did he have a conversation with his mother from his past life across the endless void. He deeply knew that all his thoughts and feelings existed only in his own heart... To see his mother, just thinking about it wouldn't be enough!

  The dragon's body has entered the gate, and the path of cultivation has opened another door for him. Now what he needs to do is to make himself walk further on this road behind the door...

  The Imperial City, as the center of the Great Chinese Empire, is home to countless high-ranking officials and nobles. It's a place that's naturally bustling with activity!

  When the morning comes, after the four gates of the imperial city are opened, the crowd forms quickly, and the noise is endless.

  At the South City Gate, a young man followed the queue of people, slowly approaching the city gate. Just as he was about to enter the Imperial City like those who had already gone in, the soldier guarding the gate stopped him.

  "Routine inspection, report your name, address, and purpose of entering the city?"

  Upon hearing this, the young man laughed. It wasn't that he thought there was anything wrong with the soldier's questioning; as a guard of the imperial city, it was his duty to be diligent and thorough. Even if he wanted to pick someone out for inspection, that would be perfectly fine.

  However, if the object is oneself, it's quite strange!

  Although in the imperial city, not everyone knows themselves, but these soldiers are absolutely unfamiliar with themselves.

  Young man laughed and asked: "Brother, are you really going to check?"

  The young man's smile was innocent and sincere, but in the eyes of that soldier, it seemed like a death god's smile, making his heart tremble violently. The good words he had thought of and prepared were all transformed into a flattering smile at this moment.

  "Please, young master!"

  The change was so great that others waiting to enter the city and those who had already left were stunned!

  "Hey, this is the Imperial City, no matter who comes and goes, those who should be checked will be checked. As a city guard, you must be loyal to your duty, how can you think of covering up for personal gain?"

  A young man was about to enter the city, when a strange and eerie voice suddenly echoed from within the gate. Then, a handsome young man in brocade clothes, accompanied by his entourage, swaggered out.

  As he appeared, the soldiers at the city gate hurriedly bowed their heads and saluted, as if they had seen an ancestor.

  A handsome young man with a purple gold crown on his head, exuding an aura of extreme wealth and nobility.

  When he appeared, the young man didn't feel surprised. If it were otherwise, would these city guards dare to come and inspect him?

  "What are you all staring at? Don't you go check on him?" The handsome young man pointed at the youth and said with an air of superiority.

  "...this..." The crowd of soldiers suddenly froze for a moment.

  It doesn't matter, just a routine check, and nothing will happen afterwards. But now that everything is clear, if they still want to do so-called checks, it's just offending people.

  Seeing all the soldiers not moving, the handsome young man was furious on the spot!

  Young man just smiled and said, "Not bad, people going in and out need to be checked. After you've thoroughly checked me, shouldn't you also check these people? Chang Sunfei, did I say anything wrong?"

  A handsome young man named Changsun Fei, who is the grandson of the current Prime Minister, Changsun Miao!

  Relying on his extraordinary family background, he ran amok in the imperial city, doing all sorts of evil and lawless things, and was secretly called by the people of the city as the second young master of the imperial capital!

  Chang Sun-mo, who also assisted the Holy Master, was an old man from the war years. He was well-known in both the court and the countryside, but compared to Lord Cheon-ju, he was far inferior.

  Perhaps this is the reason why the Longsun family and the Chen family have never gotten along, and now the emperor is even more wary of the Chen family. So, when the time was right, Longsun Mo jumped out and became the emperor's sharpest blade to deal with the Chen family!

  The grudges of the previous generation were also continued to the next generation, and even to the third generation!

  The responsibility of guarding the imperial city was originally arranged by Old Man Chen, but after his retirement, the Emperor took the opportunity to hand it over to the Longsun family. This is a clear signal sent out by the Emperor, and at the same time, the real reason why Longsun Fei can order a group of soldiers to come and cause trouble.

  But even so, General Chen had a lifetime of military achievements, and countless people in the army had been trained by him. Such prestige, after the death of the Holy Master, no one could shake it off. Although Zhangsun Fei could command these people, the so-called trouble was just Zhangsun Fei wanting to give the young man a small lesson, nothing more!

  Otherwise, Chen Zhong's power is not something that his great-grandson's family can openly provoke!

  "Good night!"

  Chang Sun Fei's eyes changed, today he was sent by his family elders to come here, wanting to find some trouble with the young master of the Chen family. He didn't think much of it, a person who is considered trash in the noble circle, can be easily dealt with no matter what.

  But unexpectedly, this young man who had already fallen from his pedestal seemed to be quite different from the rumors.

  "What's up?" Chen Ye spread his hands open and laughed, "Didn't you say you were going to inspect? Why haven't you come yet? This young master doesn't have much time to fool around with you guys here!"

  It's bold to say that the city guards are causing trouble, but there won't be too few people in the entire imperial capital who think so. However, those who dare to speak out so openly and justly won't be many.

  "After three days, one can't recognize a person! This saying is very suitable for you, Chen Ye." Chang Sun Fei chuckled and said.

  Chen Ye's eyebrow twitched, and he didn't bother to reason with Zhangsun Fei. This guy was clearly looking for trouble. Although Chen Ye wasn't afraid, he really didn't have much time to waste on this right now.

  "Tonight, just chat for a few more sentences, why are you leaving so soon, what's the hurry?"

  Chang Sun Fei stretched out his hand to stop Chen Ye, looked at the high mountain behind him, and laughed strangely: "Going to Beiwang Mountain again? I advise you not to go so often, last time you went, your mother disappeared, don't get yourself lost again. Although there are many people in the Chen family, they can't afford to be tossed around like this."

  "If everyone dies, it would be terrible!"

  His eyes suddenly turned cold, and he swept his gaze over the people behind Zhangsun Fei's back, asking calmly, "What did you hear?"

  The people behind Zhang Sun Fei hastily averted their eyes, automatically filtering out these words. Just because the former didn't put Chen Ye in his eyes didn't mean they dared to do so!

  At this, Chen Ye laughed and said: "Before, I always thought that dogs could understand human language, and humans should also be able to understand what dogs are saying. Now it seems that even among dogs, there are differences, and some of their barks and howls, we humans can't understand!"

  "What did you say at midnight?" Zhangsun Fei was furious!

  "Listen, what I'm saying may not be understood by some dogs. Similarly, the barking of these dogs is really annoying. Good dogs don't block the way, so scram before you get killed and eaten."

  "Tonight, you're looking for death!"

  Long Sun Fei, in a fit of rage, suddenly ignored the rumors about the young man in front of him and clenched his five fingers into a fist, brutally smashing it down onto Chen Ye's head without any mercy.

  This blow, if it hits, the people around will not suspect at all, and Chen Ye's little head will be lightly blown up like a watermelon!

  Chen Ye was the youngest and most beloved grandson of Zhen Guo Wang. Although in everyone's eyes, this young man could not cultivate and was a waste, but with his identity, others could secretly mock him. When the Chen family still stood tall like a mountain at present, who dared to be rude to Chen Ye?

  "Master, don't!"

  If Changsun Fei killed Chen Ye, then it's not just a matter of whether Changsun Mo can protect him or not. If anything goes wrong, the entire Changsun family might be dragged down with him.

  This shout also made Zhangsun Fei come to his senses, but unfortunately, with his current strength, he was unable to control himself, so even though he no longer wanted to, the punch still fell straight down.

  "It's done!"

  Chang Sun Fei had barely spoken when he suddenly saw that, under his incredibly fast punching speed, the young man in front of him took a slight step back and somehow managed to slip away like a ghost.

  "A dog is still a dog; when anxious, it will bite people."

  Chang Sunfei, still regretful, once again burst into a rage, staring at Chen Ye and shouting: "You little scoundrel, do you really want to die?"

  The footsteps that had just dodged the night before were quite exquisite, but Changsun Fei didn't think that the former already had the strength to rival him. He wasn't clear what the former possessed, so he naturally wouldn't think too much about it.

  The so-called ignorant is fearless, probably this is what it means.

  "Haha, let alone in the Great Hua Empire, even if you look around at several other countries, apart from His Majesty the Emperor today, who else dares to predict the life and death of my Chen family?"

  At this moment, a loud shout suddenly rang out. Anyone familiar with the voice, except for Chen Ye, including Zhang Sun Fei and others, was not pale with fear, as if a ghost was about to appear.
