Chapter 190 Acting
"According to you, this sixth prince not only has problems, but may also have some ulterior motives."
"Therefore, I advise your Tian Ce Palace to think twice before taking him in. Don't let a vicious wolf in, or you'll suffer a greater loss," the Second Prince Yuan Su said solemnly to Bai Ke.
"Ha! A vicious wolf? I'd like to see which one is more powerful, him or the Hu Yi Wolf Demon of the Netherworld Beast Forest!" Bai Ke replied with a cold smile.
For some reason, when the Second Prince saw Bai Ke's expression, he felt a shiver run down his spine and a chill run down his back.
He had only one thought in his mind: thank goodness, thank goodness he hadn't made an enemy of Bai Ke. Otherwise, his fate would have been much worse.
Suddenly, the Second Prince's attendant had something to discuss with his master and apologetically interrupted their conversation.
So Bai Ke smiled at the Second Prince and said, "Thank you for telling me the truth, Second Prince. I will discuss the matter of Tian Ce Palace accepting disciples with the elders."
"We won't bother you any longer, we'll take our leave now, please wait!" After saying that, Bai Ke led his disciples away from the Second Prince's residence.
"Senior Brother, through this banquet, I think the Second Prince doesn't seem to be such a hateful person. He doesn't seem to hold a grudge against you for losing the competition last time."
"Yes, yes, I was worried he would cause trouble for us at the banquet! Although he seemed arrogant and conceited when we first met."
But now it seems this person doesn't have much ill intentions; on the contrary, he seems quite open-minded and cheerful.
Bai Ke, who was walking in front, listened to the conversation of his disciples behind him, smiled faintly, and did not reply.
The four walked on the most bustling street in Moyun Kingdom, which was also the only way back to the post station.
The sounds of hawking, shouting, and bargaining filled the air. The dazzling array of small commodities and various stalls also piqued the curiosity of the three disciples behind them, who looked around curiously.
Seeing this, Bai Ke did not urge them. Not many of these disciples had come out to train, and they were naturally curious about things they had never seen before.
Let's take them for a leisurely stroll back; there's nothing urgent right now anyway. Bai Ke thought to himself, "Hmm... such an understanding senior brother is truly rare!"
Just as they were looking with great interest at the strange and unusual items being sold on both sides of the street, they suddenly heard a commotion.
Suddenly, a frightened horse appeared out of nowhere on the street ahead, charging wildly towards them and smashing up many stalls along the way.
As mentioned before, although Moyun Kingdom is also a cultivation world, the common people just live ordinary lives and very few of them have cultivation.
As a result, quite a few vendors and pedestrians were injured by the horse. As pedestrians scrambled to make way, a child stood bewildered in the middle of the street, unsure of what to do.
She had probably just learned to walk, and seeing that no one was around, she started crying and looking for her mother. She hadn't taken more than a few steps when she fell to the ground.
The passersby saw that the child was in great danger on the street, but no one dared to go over and bring him back, because the horse was already galloping towards them.
The mother of the child, who had just been separated from her by the pedestrians, heard the cries and rushed over to grab her child and try to escape. But it was too late; the mother and child were about to be trampled and seriously injured by the galloping horse.
Everyone gasped in shock, unable to bear witnessing what was about to happen.
In the blink of an eye, a figure rushed out from the side, blocking the mother and child, and struck the charging horse with a powerful palm strike. The horse instantly stumbled backward and fell to the ground.
Then, the man turned around and helped the mother and child up from the ground. The mother thanked the man repeatedly with tears in her eyes while comforting her frightened and crying child in her arms.
Just then, someone in the crowd shouted, "It's the Sixth Prince! His Highness the Sixth Prince!" Everyone was surprised to hear this, and when they realized what was happening, they all knelt down and bowed to the person who had spoken.
Indeed, the person who just saved that mother and child is none other than Yuan Di, the sixth prince of Mo Yun Kingdom, whom Bai Ke was just talking about.
At this moment, the government officials also arrived. Upon seeing the Sixth Prince present, they quickly knelt down and paid their respects.
"Everyone, please rise! I just happened to be passing by today and saw this, so it was only right that I offered my help. I will send someone to thoroughly investigate the cause of this matter."
"We will give everyone an explanation later. Those who were injured and those whose property was damaged can register their injuries at the government office shortly. I will also arrange for them to provide compensation as soon as possible, so everyone doesn't need to worry."
"The Sixth Prince is wise!"
"The Sixth Prince is such a good person!"
"Yes, yes, what a blessing for our Moyun Kingdom!"
……
The crowd began praising the sixth prince, and he instantly won the hearts of many.
"Senior Brother, it seems that this Sixth Prince is quite remarkable. Look, the people of Moyun Kingdom are all praising him highly!"
“Yes, it’s surprising that while the king isn’t much, his two sons are quite capable,” another disciple chimed in.
"Is that so? But I don't think so." Bai Ke curled his lips into a mocking smile.
"Hmm? Why?" a disciple asked Bai Ke, puzzled.
"First of all, let's not talk about how the horse got startled all of a sudden. Just consider that the Sixth Prince is a member of the royal family. No matter how unfavored he was before, he must have some cultivation level."
He could have saved them with a simple spell, but he went to great lengths to rush to the mother and child, knock down the horse, and rescue them in front of everyone.
Furthermore, according to the Second Prince, the Sixth Prince had always lived a secluded life, let alone leaving the palace. He had only recently begun to gain favor, so how come he was recognized by the common people this time?
Third, how long has it been since the incident occurred that the government officials arrived? Even if there were patrolling soldiers nearby, it would be impossible for them to arrive so quickly. Therefore, they must have been waiting in the vicinity beforehand!
Do you understand what I'm saying? The three disciples suddenly realized what I meant and couldn't help but sigh at the wickedness of people's hearts, especially the royal family.
"Let's go back to the post station first. Gather everyone in the main hall; I have something to say!"
"Yes! Senior brother!"
After returning to the post station, everyone was gathered together shortly afterward.
Bai Ke looked around and, seeing that everyone was basically present, said, "When I went to the Second Prince's Hundred Flowers Banquet today, I learned that the Sixth Prince was somewhat related to the recent zombie outbreak in Anning Village."
So I've decided to go investigate tonight. Anyone want to come along?
As soon as Bai Ke spoke, several disciples immediately raised their hands. It took a lot of effort to smooth things over and decide who would go together.
