After sending Chen Xiyue back to the palace, the sky was already dark. After saying goodbye to Chen Xiyue, Jiang Hao walked to King Ning's Mansion alone.

Although he couldn't meet Jiang Shangqian, Jiang Hao hesitated for a while and decided to go back to King Ning's Mansion first.

After the battle in the south of the city, there will definitely be people who are very interested in the so-called "secret treasure" on his body, even if this is the imperial city, and his father is still King Ning, it is impossible to guarantee his safety at all times.

Ever since Jiang Shangwu recognized his identity, he had become more cautious, and he was always alert when walking on the road, and the essence of the moon flowed through the meridians all over his body, strengthening his perception of his surroundings.

However, he always had an inexplicable sense of worry, and he always felt that there were people around him and behind him.

"Maybe I'm too tired today and a little nervous. ”

Jiang Hao pinched his eyebrows with his fingers and said self-deprecatingly.

"This is the road from the Imperial Palace to King Ning's Mansion, will anyone ambush me here as a little martial artist of the Yuan Realm?"

He shook his head, and after hinting at himself like this, he really felt that the feeling of being spied on was an illusion.

"Click. ”

However, as soon as he took a few steps, he heard the sound of a tree branch being trampled off, not far behind him.

"Who?"

Jiang Hao's face changed and he shouted, pulled out the cold iron sword, turned around suddenly, jumped backwards, and distanced himself from the place where the sound came.

The fierce sword intent, like a cold wind, swept by. The atmosphere was suddenly cold, Jiang Hao's eyes were cold, he looked at the person behind him, and just wanted to continue to ask, but he could tell who that person was, and the words that had just reached his throat were swallowed by him again.

That person turned out to be Jiang Shangran!

At this time, because Jiang Hao's sword intent attainment was much higher than his, Jiang Shangran was trembling on the broken branch, unable to hold his legs, in addition to horror and resentment in his eyes, he was looking at Jiang Hao who dared to be angry and dare not speak.

The atmosphere instantly became a little awkward, Jiang Hao touched his nose, put away the sword intent, and felt a little funny.

"Second brother, what are you doing here?"

Jiang Hao withdrew the cold iron sword and looked at Jiang Shangran with a smile.

Jiang Shangran glared at Jiang Hao, and secretly sighed that he was really no longer Jiang Hao's opponent now.

In the past few days, he should also be able to break through to the Ning Yuan Realm, but he thinks that he will definitely not be Jiang Hao's opponent!

When Jiang Hao competed with Jiang Shangwu today, although he was not present, he felt the extraordinary vision there in King Ning's mansion, and now he couldn't resist Jiang Hao in the slightest.

Although he is not the kind of open-minded person, he has to afford to put it down at this time.

Otherwise, what else could he do to challenge Jiang Hao? Don't be kidding, Jiang Hao can kill the Earth Movement Realm master now.

Thinking of this, Jiang Shangran couldn't help but feel a little sad, his face darkened, he arched his hand towards Jiang Hao, and said in a low voice: "There is an adult in the mansion who has been waiting for you, but you haven't returned to the mansion for so long after the competition, I will pick you up and go back to the mansion." ”

Jiang Hao looked at Jiang Shangran, his eyes were a little weird, but he still nodded, turned around, Yuan Li condensed on the soles of his feet, and directly stepped into Lingyun Step, and in a few breaths, he disappeared into Jiang Shangran's eyes.

Jiang Shangran was dumbfounded, it was the first time he had seen Jiang Hao's body, but he didn't expect his eyes to keep up with Jiang Hao's speed.

"Bastard boy!"

Bowing his head and cursing, Jiang Shangran walked towards King Ning's Mansion in a lost place.

Although I don't know what medicine Jiang Shangran sells in the gourd, since Jiang Shangran said that he is an "adult", he can't be lazy.

Thinking like this in his heart, Jiang Hao quickened his pace, and in less than a moment, he approached King Ning's Mansion.

"Huh, that's?"

There were still a hundred meters away from King Ning's Mansion, and Jiang Hao saw a man standing at the door of King Ning's Mansion, with a tall posture, and a golden carriage beside him, showing the dignity of its owner.

"A prince!"

Jiang Hao's pupils shrank suddenly. This was the first time he had met a prince in the imperial capital.

"Could it be that Chen Wuya?"

After recalling that he had cheated Chen Wuya in the auction hall of Ning Wang City, Jiang Hao felt a little uncomfortable, and the more he looked at that person, the more he looked like Chen Wuya.

"But even if I trick him, it's not worth him to block me at the gate of King Ning's Mansion, right?"

Jiang Hao was a little depressed, if there was no need, he was reluctant to provoke any prince or princess.

When he was less than twenty meters away from the prince, Jiang Hao stopped and slowly walked towards the man.

"You are Jiang Hao. ”

Unexpectedly, the prince took the initiative to greet him, with a faint smile on his face, which looked like a spring breeze.

Jiang Hao was stunned for a moment, looked this person up and down, and found that this person's behavior was very elegant, although his face definitely did not look more than thirty years old, but he had long gray-white hair, although it could not be said to be heroic, but there was a dusty temperament, as if he saw everything lightly.

"Who are you?" Jiang Hao asked with some confusion, his intuition telling him that this was definitely not Chen Wuya's loser.

"My name is Chen Shuoli, I am Chen Xiyue's eldest brother, and my little sister has been taken care of by you. The man said very casually, and he didn't seem to be dissatisfied with Jiang Hao's behavior just now.

"His Royal Highness?"

Jiang Hao was a little surprised. He had heard that the eldest prince had not been in the imperial capital in recent years, but had traveled alone.

"How strong will he be?"

Jiang Hao stared at Chen Shuoli deadly, wanting to see his realm clearly, but in the end he could only give up regretfully.

Chen Shuoli's strength is simply unfathomable, and there is not the slightest flaw in his body. Jiang Hao was sure that if this person wanted to fight him, he would definitely lose without using the Sword Emperor Divine Stone.

"What is His Royal Highness looking for me?"

"Let's go into the house and talk about it. Chen Shuoli beckoned to Jiang Hao with a smile and walked into the gate of King Ning's mansion, Jiang Hao was a little hesitant, but he also followed.

The two were silent until they walked into the council chamber. Chen Shuoli sat on the main seat, while Jiang Hao sat on the side.

"I wonder if you've heard of the three major sects?"

As soon as he sat down, Chen Shuoli asked, the gentle expression on his face never changed.

Jiang Hao was stunned for a moment, he heard King Ning say that one of the reasons for participating in the Imperial City Celebration and Martial Arts Competition was because the winners could follow the prince and princess to enter the three major sects to cultivate, so that the sky was high and the birds could fly, and the sea was wide and the fish could leap.

However, what is the reason for this great prince to mention it in front of him?

With such doubts, although Jiang Hao already understood, he still pretended not to know, put on a look of humility to ask for advice, and said: "I don't know." ”

Seeing Jiang Hao like this, Chen Shuoli just smiled and shook his head, and then opened his mouth to explain to Jiang Hao: "The three major sects are considered the second-tier sects of our Southwest Wasteland, and they are strong, even the Blackwater Empire is afraid of them. ”

"So strong?"

Jiang Hao was a little moved, although he had heard of the names of the three major sects before, he didn't expect that they were all stronger than the Blackwater Empire.

"I am the inner disciple of the Star Spirit Sect, the strongest of the three major sects, and I have the right to bring my followers into the sect as an outer disciple. Seeing the look of surprise on Jiang Hao's face, Chen Shuo left the corner of his mouth with a smile even stronger, and said slowly: "Jiang Hao, do you want to be my close guard and enter the Star Spirit Sect cultivation with me, and you don't have to be afraid of anything from now on." With your potential, you may become an inner disciple in the future, or even a disciple of the sect master. ”

Although Chen Shuoli's tone was softened, there was an inexplicable power in it, which was affecting Jiang Hao's mind, and Jiang Hao almost blurted out yes!

"Huh?"

Jiang Hao, who felt that something was wrong, immediately stabilized his mind and got rid of the temptation of the magic in Chen Shuo's words.

He had a cold sweat behind his back, and he didn't understand why the eldest prince wanted to recruit him as a guard and bring him into the Star Spirit Sect even if he used crooked ways that affected people's hearts.

His instincts told him that it must not be easy.

"Your Royal Highness, forgive your refusal. On the surface, he didn't show any uneasiness, Jiang Hao shook his head and refused without arrogance or humility, and his expression was neither sad nor joyful.

"Oh?" Chen Shuo twitched from his eyebrows, as if he was a little surprised that his secret technique had failed, but then adjusted his demeanor, shook his head and smiled: "That's right, a genius like you will definitely win the championship at the Imperial Capital Celebration Conference, so naturally you don't need my recommendation." ”

"In that case, then I take my leave. With that, Chen Shuoli stood up and walked towards the door.

"Congratulations to His Royal Highness. Jiang Hao also stood up and was about to follow, but saw Chen Shuoli waving his hand gently.

"You are indeed a genius, I am convinced, but, as a young man, you still have to learn to understand current affairs. The moonlight shine through the window lattice and reflected on Chen Shuoli's face, making Chen Shuoli's temperament diametrically opposite to before, looking a little evil.

"Don't think too much, this is the advice of a senior to a junior. ”

After leaving this sentence, Chen Shuoli left without looking back, leaving only Jiang Hao who stood in place in a daze.
