I'm not worthy of you."Wang Xue'ning let out a cold snort: "Let's go eat hot pot."Half an hour later, they appeared at a Sichuan hotpot restaurant.In the office of Lu Group's president, three people...Li Dao-ran had reminded them before they left that aerial flight was prohibited in the capital of the Daxing Empire, so the group descended from the ninth heaven from a distance.

Ye Bufan looked up at the tall royal city before him, feeling deeply moved. He was awestruck by the grandeur and magnificence of this ancient architecture.

Though different from the modern skyscrapers, it possesses its own unique charm and grandeur.

Having seen the imperial capital of Tianfeng Empire before, I was already awestruck. Now, looking at the grand imperial capital of Daxing Empire, I realize what it means to be truly amazed.

This city is truly enormous, with pavilions and towers stretching as far as the eye can see. Its walls stand a formidable thirty or forty meters high, exuding an air of grandeur.

In terms of area and scale, this place is more than ten times larger than the imperial city of Tianfeng Empire. It can be seen that Daxing's title as the first empire in Tianluo Prefecture is well-deserved.

A few people walked forward together. When they were about to reach the city gate, two giant iron-backed roaring sky beasts suddenly descended from the sky, and a group of people came down from them, who were Zheng Yiheng and Gu Yu and others.

Zheng Yihe jumped down from the Ironbacked Howling Sky Beast and happened to see Ye Bufan and the others. As the saying goes, when enemies meet, their expressions immediately turn cold.

Ye Bufan, however, didn't care at all. He cheerfully stepped forward and said, "Oh my, isn't this Young Master Zheng You changed your clothes, I almost didn't recognize you."

Then, he glanced at Zheng Yiheng with a playful smirk: "Mr. Zheng, your clothes seem a bit ill-fitting. A little too tight in the arms, and the pants are a tad short."

"Besides, this rough cloth doesn't befit you. Where did you get it from Was it stolen"

Before, Jiang Fangzhou was clean and efficient. He snatched these people clean, leaving nothing but a pair of trousers. So he could be sure that these clothes must have been stolen.

"You..."

Zheng Yihe originally wanted to retaliate, but after glancing at Naran Yuji who was rubbing her hands together with anticipation beside him, he finally held back. He snorted and walked towards the city gate.

A squad of soldiers stood at the city gate, led by a commander, checking the people entering the city.

Seeing someone about to enter the city directly, the leader was about to step forward to block them, but at a glance he recognized Zheng Yiheng.

"Zheng Shao, you're back."

Zheng's family was a prominent one in the capital of the Daxing Empire, so it wasn't surprising that the guards recognized him.

Even the leader of the conversation seemed surprised by the sight. He certainly didn't expect that Zheng Jia, the renowned playboy of the family, would be dressed like this.

Zheng Yiheng simply nodded and then, with everyone in tow, hurried into the city.

He didn't want to stay here for a moment. Dressed like this, if he was recognized by someone he knew, it would be too embarrassing.

Seeing him humiliated, Ye Bufan couldn't help but chuckle.

Chu Lingxi said with some worry, "Dean, we've provoked this kind of person. I'm afraid they will retaliate against us afterwards."

"It's fine, even if I don't provoke him, he will take revenge eventually. What's coming will come no matter how much we try to avoid it."

Ye Bufan could see clearly that people like Zheng Yiheng and Gu Yu would definitely come to trouble him, this was beyond doubt.

So, this kind of thing probably won't help anyway. You can't escape it, so you might as well face it head-on.

After he finished speaking, he led everyone to the city gate and handed the invitation jade pendant he had received to Hua Zi Yue.

After the commander of the city guard had carefully checked, he immediately let them pass with respect. Those who could participate in the newcomer ranking match were not ordinary people, and they were not something these small characters could afford to provoke.

Ye Bufan took back the jade pendant and, with everyone, was about to enter the city when a group of six people caught up from behind.

Judging by their attire and appearance, these six people should also be here to participate in the newcomer ranking competition.

He was a young man of about twenty, tall and handsome with an air of nobility in his bearing.

The man was about to hand over his identity jade pendant, but when he suddenly saw Chu Lingxi walking at the back of the line, his expression froze.

He hurried up and bowed deeply, respectfully saying: "Taoran of the Imperial House of Dàshùn greets Her Royal Highness, the Princess!"

After all that commotion, everyone's attention was drawn to him, curious about what had happened.

Chulingxi was completely baffled. Looking around to make sure no one else was there, she confirmed that the other person was indeed speaking to her. With a puzzled expression, she asked, "Senior brother, are you mistaken Have we met before"

Tao Ran said respectfully, "Madam Situ, you've forgotten, we met at the engagement ceremony in the palace."

Now Chu Lingxi was completely dumbfounded, not understanding how she had become a princess or when she had ever met this person.

"This senior brother, you must have mistaken me for someone else. My name is Chu Lingxi, I don't have the surname Si Tu at all, and I haven't been to the D Shun Empire, nor have I attended any engagement ceremonies."

"How is this possible" Tao Ran confirmed with Chu Lingxi again and again, then said in bewilderment, "Your Highness, you're not joking with me, are you"

"No, no, I'm telling the truth. You really have mistaken me for someone else." Chu Lingxi explained with effort, "Look, I'm here representing the Tianfeng Empire to participate in the new recruit ranking match. How could I possibly be that so-called princess"

Upon hearing this, Tao Ran finally realized he had made a mistake. The princess of the Dàshùn Empire was supposed to participate in the newcomer ranking competition alongside him, not run off to the Tiānfēng Empire.

"I am so sorry, young lady. I have been rude."

Tao Ran bowed in apology here, then shook his head slightly, muttering to himself, "Like! It's really too similar!"

After he had checked the jade pendant, he was about to leave when suddenly he was pulled back by someone. Turning around, he saw a young man in his twenties looking at him with excitement.

Ye Bufan was extremely excited at this moment, although the two of them didn't know what was going on just now, he had a general idea in his heart.

Before, when he first saw Chu Lingxi, he had mistaken her as well. And just now, Tao Ran called her the Madam of Marquis Si, which undoubtedly referred to Si Tu Dian Mo.

Having been on the Kunlun Continent for so long without finding any other people, today he suddenly got news of Situ Dianmo's whereabouts. How could he not be excited

"Senior brother, is there something the matter"

Though Taoran was born into the imperial family of the Dashun Empire, he spoke politely and respectfully, without the arrogance and domineering attitude of others.

Ye Bufan took a deep breath, suppressing the excitement in his heart, and then bowed: "My name is Ye Bufan, the Dean of Lingxiao Academy in the Tianfeng Empire. I've met Senior Brother Tao Ran."

"It's Dean Ye, I apologize for the intrusion."

Tao ran respectfully bowed, "Dean Ye, is there something you need from me"

Ye Bufan said, "Senior Brother Tao, would it be convenient to step aside and talk"

"Sure." Tao Ran didn't put on airs or refuse, politely saying, "Dean Ye is here to participate in the newcomer ranking tournament as well, since that's the case, let's meet at the station."

After that, everyone entered the city together and quickly arrived at the inn arranged by the Great Xing Empire for the participating countries.

The Tiānfēng Empire was the weakest, assigned to a corner, but the conditions were no worse. It was also a separate small courtyard with always over ten rooms inside.

Ye Bufan pulled Tao Ran hurriedly to the reception room. After sitting down, he asked, "Senior Brother Tao, could you tell me the name of that Lady Si Tu"lead to humiliation."Top Senior Brother, you didn't see that someone bullied me! Help me beat her up!"As he spoke, he turned his head back to pull on the sleeve of a young woman named Qiao Chu."Ling'e...
