Fang Xing and Qin Luo traveled to the Imperial Capital on a flying beast, hardly stopping along the way.
In just under ten days, they reached the vicinity of the capital.
"Your Highness, the Imperial Capital is just ahead. I've already sent word ahead, and soon someone from the Clan Office will come to escort you into the city."
"Isn't the Marquis of the Four Directions going to the capital?" Qin Luo asked.
Fang Xing shook his head, "I have military duties to attend to back home."
"Very well, thank you for your care along the way, Marquis."
"You're too kind, Your Highness."
Although Fang Xing suggested Zheng Tuo ally with Qin Luo, he maintained a respectful distance from Qin Luo himself.
A crowd had already gathered at the city gates of the capital, including officials from the Clan Office.
Gu Qingxue was inside a carriage, a birthday gift from Lin Xuan. After Lin Xuan's refinement, it could block the probing of those in the Sage Realm.
She nestled in Lin Xuan's arms, her face flushed, a picture of springtime bliss.
Between them, everything had happened except for that final step.
Rising from humble beginnings, Lin Xuan knew how to seize opportunities with women. Being a gentleman? He thought that was foolish.
"They're here." Lin Xuan, with his keen senses, looked up as a loud eagle's cry echoed.
Fang Xing descended from the sky with Qin Luo.
An official from the Clan Office stepped forward, "Greetings, Marquis of the Four Directions. You've had a long journey."
Fang Xing nodded slightly and pointed to Qin Luo, "This is His Highness, the Ninth Prince."
The official bowed slightly to Qin Luo, "Your Highness, we need to verify your identity at the Clan Office."
"Of course," Qin Luo replied calmly.
His gaze shifted from the official to a nearby carriage, and his lips curled into a slight smile, "Interesting."

Qin Luo frowned, wondering what was going on. It seemed Gu Qingxue had some connection to him.
Fang Xing was about to leave. He bowed to Qin Luo, "Your Highness, farewell!"
"Thank you for your efforts," Qin Luo replied.
The Clan Office official glanced at Fang Xing, then at Qin Luo, murmuring to himself, "It seems this Ninth Prince is not simple."
If he were just an ordinary child, the Marquis of the Four Directions wouldn't maintain such a stance.
After all, the Marquis is a powerful figure in the Sage Realm.
Inside the carriage, Lin Xuan, holding Gu Qingxue, frowned slightly and murmured, "That kid seemed to be looking at me just now."
"Who is Brother Lin Xuan talking about? That guy?" Gu Qingxue pointed at Qin Luo.
Her carriage was equipped with a special mirror that allowed those inside to see out, but not the other way around.
"Yes, that guy should be a prince of the Great Qin Empire." A hint of jealousy flashed in Lin Xuan's eyes as he looked at Qin Luo.
Having grown up in harsh conditions, Lin Xuan harbored a resentment towards the wealthy.
Qin Luo, with his fortunate life, naturally incited his envy.
Gu Qingxue studied Qin Luo for a moment, then looked up at Lin Xuan, "He's not as handsome as Brother Lin Xuan."
Lin Xuan's smile was hard to suppress, and he pulled Gu Qingxue into a passionate kiss, feeling a twisted sense of satisfaction. Follow the newest chapters on novelping.com.
"Your Highness, shall we enter the city?" The Clan Office official's attitude towards Qin Luo had improved slightly.
Just as Qin Luo was about to enter the carriage, Chen Mo jumped out.
"Are you the new Ninth Prince?" Chen Mo looked Qin Luo up and down.
Qin Luo ignored him and turned to the Clan Office official, "Is he also an official from the Clan Office?"
Li Yuan immediately replied, "Your Highness, this is the young marquis from the Marquis Yingwu's residence."
Chen Mo puffed out his chest, looking proud.
"Oh, young marquis, do you have business with me?" Qin Luo asked.
Chen Mo casually pulled out a piece of paper, "Since you're a prince, I won't make things difficult for you. Sign this agreement, and I'll consider you a friend!"
Taking the paper from Chen Mo, Qin Luo glanced at it, a slight smile playing on his lips.
Finally, he understood what the system meant.
It was an agreement to annul an engagement, with the betrothed being Qin Luo and Gu Qingxue.
Qin Luo didn't know when the engagement was made, but he knew that today, perhaps everyone in the capital would know his name.
He had arrived!
Looking at Chen Mo, Qin Luo's eyes held a peculiar expression. If he guessed correctly, this guy was being used as a pawn?
A fool?
"What if I say no?" Qin Luo said.
Chen Mo's face darkened, and he threatened, "This must be your first time in Qin Capital, Ninth Prince. Do you know that the city is full of hidden talents, and you might bump into a Sage at any moment?"
"If you don't give me face, I'll make sure you realize that in the capital, having a title isn't enough. Without respect, you'll find it hard to take a step!"
Qin Luo ignored him and turned to Li Yuan, "Tell me, is a prince's status more noble, or a so-called young marquis's?"
Li Yuan was taken aback but quickly answered, "In the Great Qin Empire, a prince's status is naturally incomparable!"
"Oh, is that so?" Qin Luo said, shifting his gaze to Chen Mo, his eyes turning sharp.
"In that case, who gave you the courage to threaten a prince?"
"Do you think this Great Qin Empire belongs to your Chen family?"
A quick look at will leave you more fulfilled.
Boom! A powerful aura erupted from Qin Luo, and he gave Chen Mo a hard slap.
