"Hehe." Long ng laughed again after hearing Long Chen’s words, showing two shallow dimples, and said, "Brother, you’re so naughty, mimicking others like that."
"Haha, alright, let’s not stand here, let’s go inside and sit," Long Chen said with a smile, pointing at the tea house where Long ng had been standing.
Then, the group walked toward that teahouse. Long ng deliberately walked beside Shi Feng and said, "Brother Shi Feng, everyone is saying how amazing you are now. Could you take on as your disciple and teach Martial Arts? I want to be as powerful as you."
Shi Feng looked at Long ng and then replied, "You naturally have a Pure Yang Physique, which just so happens to conflict with the Martial Arts I practice. My Martial Arts aren’t suitable for you to cultivate. If you have any questions concerning Martial Arts while I’m still in the Imperial City, you can always co to ask ," Shi Feng told her.
Shi Feng noticed that this young girl was already at the Five-star Martial King level at such a young age. In the Yunlai Empire, she must also be considered a genius. It wasn’t surprising, though, being born into the Imperial Family with abundant cultivation resources and the possibility to hire famous Martial Artists as teachers.
"Hehe, then it’s settled! I might co to bother you anyti," Long ng playfully said to Shi Feng.
Shi Feng rather liked this cheerful and cute girl. Looking at her, especially those twinkling big eyes and the sweet way she called him "Brother," reminded Shi Feng of his sister, Shi Ling, and he wondered how she was doing now.
Soon, the three of them entered the teahouse where a waiter imdiately ca forward to greet them. Long Chen handed the waiter a Gold Coin, saying, "Arrange a top-rate private room for us."
The waiter quickly waved his hands and said, "Oh, I’m sorry, sir, but the teahouse has been booked by a distinguished guest today, and we aren’t serving anyone else. You all should try another place today."
"Booked?" Long Chen frowned deeply, showing displeasure and said, "How much did he pay to book it? I’ll offer double the price."
"I’m really sorry, sir, but no matter how much you offer, it won’t make a difference. We can’t afford to offend that distinguished guest. Please, be kind, don’t make it difficult for anymore." The waiter, having worked in the teahouse for many years, knew from their attire that their identities were no simple matter, but the person upstairs had even more weighty credentials.
"But there’s nobody here, aren’t there so many empty seats? Why won’t you let us sit down? You’re not earning the money—are you stupid?" Long ng said, full of confusion.
The waiter smiled at Long ng and said, "Miss, you’re joking. It’s because the teahouse has been booked by the distinguished guest that there are so many empty seats."
"Oh, I see now," Long ng nodded seriously. This girl, one could tell she had rarely ventured out, especially to such mixed and chaotic places like teahouses and taverns.
"Let’s just find sowhere else," Shi Feng told Long Chen.
"Yeah." Since Shi Feng had said so, Long Chen nodded.
"Who is that sightless fool buzzing incessantly down there? It’s so noisy! Waiter, didn’t I tell you this teahouse has been booked by my master!" Just then, a rough voice shouted from upstairs.
Shi Feng and the others looked up to see a rugged-looking man standing on the walkway beside the second-floor staircase.
As soon as the burly man saw Long Chen’s face, his eyes narrowed and he was visibly shocked. "Chen...Prince Chenn..." After saying this, the man hurriedly ran back into the private room.
"Do you know him?" Shi Feng asked Long Chen as he looked toward him.
"It’s the servant of the person I least want to see. Let’s go sowhere else," Long Chen replied.
Shi Feng nodded his head, and just as they were about to turn away, a robust voice suddenly rang out from the second floor, "So it really is the fourth brother and the sixth sister. Since we’ve t, how could you not co up and greet your brother?"
After hearing that voice, Long Chen’s face initially turned cold, then his stiff expression slowly cracked into a smile. Turning around and looking up, he laughed, "Brother thought you were busy entertaining honored guests upstairs and felt it best not to disturb you. I hadn’t expected that you would co out to et us yourself."
Shi Feng also turned and looked up to see a man in a golden robe standing on the upper floor. He appeared to be in his late thirties, with a square face and an upright deanor that radiated integrity.
This man was none other than the Eldest Prince of the Yunlai Empire, Long Xing.
With warm enthusiasm, Long Xing called down, "Between brothers, why worry about disturbances? Co on up, fourth brother, sixth sister. There is a distinguished guest upstairs, and I would be glad to introduce you."
Looking toward Shi Feng and seeing him nod slightly, showing no objections, Long Chen followed him upstairs with Long ng and Shi Feng behind him.
As they walked, Long ng whispered in Shi Feng’s ear, "My elder brother always acts so serious; I’ve never seen him joke around. His laughter even seems fake, as though it’s forced. Being around him is always so tiring. Let’s find an excuse to leave early later. I’ll take you to a fun place."
"A fun place?" Shi Feng murmured quietly.
"Yes, you’ll see when we get there. I promise you’ll find it fun," Long ng said as she smiled at Shi Feng, her eyes narrowing into slits, embodying her cute na.
"I’ll look forward to it," replied Shi Feng with a smile and a nod.
Upon reaching the upstairs, Long Xing greeted Shi Feng with a laugh, "Haha, you must be Young Master Feng. Truly, a hero cos young. Lately, I’ve heard of your heroic deeds everywhere!"
Shi Feng, as if affirming Long Xing’s words, nodded and said, "Wherever one goes, the strong inevitably attract attention; it’s only natural."
"Haha, Young Master Feng really has his own style. Co on, let’s talk inside. Fourth brother, sixth sister, please co in."
Long Xing led the three of them into an elegantly decorated private room. Inside, besides the burly man they had seen earlier, there was also a young man in white garnts seated in the seat of honor at the table. He had a proud, aristocratic deanor that seed innately noble.
Behind the young man stood a middle-aged martial artist in black, his face stern as if nothing could disturb him. As Shi Feng and the others entered the room, his eyes seed fixed forward, not shifting to look at the newcors.
"Five-star Martial Sovereign Realm," Shi Feng observed imdiately upon entering the room, noticing the cultivation level of the ordinary-looking black martial artist.
Having a Five-star Martial Sovereign Expert as a bodyguard hinted that this young man in white was of no ordinary status.
The young man in white, maintaining a superior air, glanced sidelong at the entering group without truly acknowledging them, until his gaze slightly changed upon seeing Long ng; however, he quickly regained his composure.
