Just then, two hundred metres away on the opposite bank, a fifteen or sixteen year old girl also appeared and laughed, “You two fools have been tricked, this County Lord is here, I am the real County Lord.”
“The two of you swim back from the lake, whoever swims to this county lord first, this county lord will definitely accept his gift.”
“Pfft!”
Without any hesitation, Zuo Longlin jumped into the lake ahead of him, slapping up a wave and swimming back towards the opposite shore.
He had already lost to Zhang Ruochen once just now, and he couldn’t lose to Zhang Ruochen again this time.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t jump into the water as eagerly as Zuo Longlin did, still standing in the centre of the lake, he could already tell that the two young girls in the centre of the lake and on the shore were not the real Thirteen County Lords.
It was obvious that that one Thirteenth County Lord was deliberately teasing them.
Zhang Ruochen’s heart gave birth to an unspoken revulsion, disliking this feeling of being teased.
“Forget it, it was meant to be a plea, there’s no need to offend her.” Zhang Ruochen restrained the anger in his heart and looked around for signs of the real Thirteen County Lord.
That one Thirteenth County Lord, who was definitely watching the show from the sidelines, was definitely not far from here.
In the distance, on top of a tower, the Thirteenth County Lord wore a pearl robe, a neat bun, and a walking golden hairpin stuck on her head.
She looked at the turquoise-coloured lake, watching the two maids at the lake pavilion and the shore, teasing the two princes around, her heart uttering happiness.
A rather pretty maid, standing behind the Thirteenth County Lord, sneered and said, ”Two princes from inferior counties, also wanting to marry Her Highness the County Lord, toads wanting to eat swan meat. When they are told to do something, they do it, just like idiots.”
“It’s clearly the falling dogs that are right! Hehe!” Another maid laughed.
A soft eek escaped from the Thirteenth County Lord’s mouth as she stared at the Lake Pavilion and said, “Hehe! Look guys, that one teenager didn’t jump off the lake.”
The two maidens also looked over and stared at Zhang Ruochen, who was standing in the Pavilion in the Centre of the Lake. One of the maids revealed a cold colour and said, “He’s so bold, His Highness the County Lord’s words, and he dares to disobey them.”
Just then, they saw the eyes of that one teenager staring over in their direction.
Zhang Ruochen stood in the Pavilion in the Centre of the Lake and saw the young girl sitting on the tower, expecting her to be the real Thirteenth County Lord.
“Swish!”
Zhang Ruochen once again performed the Wind-Resistant Flying Dragon Shadow, stepping on the water and flying across the lake, rushing in the direction of the tower.
And at this moment, Zuo Longlin was still swimming in the water, selling his efforts towards the shore.
“Your Highness, he’s rushing in our direction, what should we do now?” One of the maidservants said in some panic.
The Thirteenth County Lord sat on a chair and said confidently, “Even if he knows that this County Lord is teasing them, what would he dare to do? Besides, tenth brother is still guarding under the tower, there’s no way they can break in.”
Zhang Ruochen arrived at the bottom of the tower and was about to ascend.
A teenager holding a folding fan stepped out from the gate on the ground floor of the tower and blocked Zhang Ruochen’s path, staring at him with slanted eyes, saying, “Where did the bumpkin come from? This tower is not a place for you to come, why don’t you immediately roll aside for this prince?”
Zhang Ruochen frowned slightly and tried his best to restrain the anger in his heart as he calmly said, “I’m here to pay my respects to the Thirteenth County Princess, and I hope that Your Excellency will report to me.”
“What kind of sh*t are you? Also worthy of meeting the Thirteenth County Lord? If you don’t back off, do you believe that this prince will break your dog’s legs and throw you out?” That one teenager waved his sleeve and said contemptuously.
That one teenager was naturally the Tenth Prince of the Thousand Water County Kingdom, only a playboy without a bit of a prince’s appearance on him.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t know that the teenager in front of him was the Tenth Prince of the Thousand Water County Kingdom, and only thought that he was a prince from another county who wanted to make things difficult for him on purpose to prevent him from seeing the Thirteenth County Lord.
Originally, Zhang Ruochen’s mood wasn’t very good, and he didn’t expect that when he arrived at the tower, he would be made difficult again, so his heart naturally became even more unhappy.
Zhang Ruochen’s attitude became tough as he said, “What if I must pay my respects to the Thirteenth County Lord?”
The Tenth Prince let out a hefty laugh and spread his legs apart, pointing towards the ground, saying, “Of course you can, if you drill through the inside of this prince’s trousers, this prince will let you go to see the Thirteenth County Lord.”
“Doesn’t Your Excellency feel that you are bullying people too much?” Zhang Ruochen said.
“Haha! This prince will bully you, how dare you?” The Tenth Prince pulled up his sleeves, revealing two of his arms, raised his palms, and pressed them towards Zhang Ruochen’s head.
He wanted to force Zhang Ruochen to drill through the inside of his trousers.
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes narrowed and he took a step backward to avoid the Ten Princes’ palm.
There was no need to endure any longer.
Zhang Ruochen cupped the sword case with one hand and swung the two-metre-long sword case out, striking the tenth prince’s chest with a bang, sending the tenth prince flying out.
Originally, Zhang Ruochen didn’t want to cause trouble and tried to restrain his anger as much as possible, but the other party pressed step by step.
Anger arose from his heart, and evil grew out of it.
Since this was the case, one could only speak with one’s fists.
“Boom!”
The Tenth Prince screamed miserably as his body slammed into the tower’s door, breaking it and flying backwards in, falling hard onto the ground.
“bast*rd, you actually dare to hit me …… I want you …… ah ……”
Zhang Ruochen held the sword case and walked into the tower.
The Tenth Prince screamed miserably once again, and with a bang, he flew out again, hitting the top of the wall.
In the middle of roughly a quarter of an hour, the Thousand Water County Kingdom’s Tenth Prince was covered in wounds, rolling and crawling as he fled to the top of the tower and hid behind the Thirteenth County Princess, trembling as he cursed, “Kid, you’re dead, how dare you take on my prince’s opponent, this prince will make sure that you die a horrible death.”
“Boom!”
Zhang Ruochen stared coldly at the Tenth Prince, and using all his true qi, he struck out with a palm, crumbling one of the tower’s pillars, saying, “So what if you die? It’s better to die in a dignified manner than to live in humiliation.”
The Thirteenth County Lord was shocked to see the Ten Princes who was beaten into a pig’s head, and hurriedly helped the Ten Princes up, asking, “Tenth Brother, how did you get beaten up like this?”
The Tenth Prince’s face was red and swollen, his eyes glazed over as he angrily snarled, “Thirteenth Royal Sister, you must avenge Tenth Brother, this bast*rd is too lawless, he actually dared to strike and beat up the royal family’s descendants in Thousand Waters Royal City, he must be exterminated to the nine clans and his entire family must be killed.”
Hearing the dialogue between the Thirteenth County Lord and the Tenth Prince, Zhang Ruochen’s heart was shocked as he secretly said, “This dude is actually really the Tenth Prince of the Thousand Water County King. These are bad!”
The Thirteenth County Lord stared towards Zhang Ruochen, also feeling that this Ninth Prince of the Yunwu County Kingdom was too arrogant, actually daring to beat up even the royal family’s children, and said with great annoyance, “Take this madman down for this County Lord and lock him up in the Heavenly Prison.”
Those two maidservants were both early Xuanji realm martial artists, their cultivation was not low, not only were they the Thirteenth County Lord’s maidservants, they were also the Thirteenth County Lord’s guards.
They simultaneously took out a fourth-stage True Martial Treasure Artifact grade battle sword and were about to capture Zhang Ruochen.
Although Zhang Ruochen understood that things had gone in the opposite direction, he was not the slightest bit intimidated and said in an unassuming manner, “Your Highness, County Lord, it was clearly the Tenth Prince who made the first move and tried to humiliate me, and it was only then that I made a move to resist. Could this also be wrong?”
“Right or wrong is not important, what is important is that you injured the prince of the Thousand Water County Kingdom.” The Thirteenth County Lord had no intention of trying to reason with Zhang Ruochen and said in a cold voice.
Zhang Ruochen had originally been ordered to befriend the Thirteenth County Lord, hoping that he would be able to ask for reinforcements for the Yunwu County Kingdom through the Thirteenth County Lord’s doorway.
However, seeing that the Thirteenth County Lord was so unreasonable, Zhang Ruochen didn’t bother to say much to her.
After leaving the gift behind, Zhang Ruochen turned around and left.
The two maids wanted to go and tackle Zhang Ruochen, but they had just rushed to Zhang Ruochen’s front when Zhang Ruochen quickly tapped out two fingers, sealing their meridians and standing in place, unable to move.
“I hope that the Thirteenth County Lord is a sensible person.” Zhang Ruochen indifferently stared at the Thirteenth County Lord.
After saying this, Zhang Ruochen turned around and left, walking down the tower.
The princes and county lords of the Thousand Water County King were simply all foreigners, all of them incomprehensible.
Walking in the tower, Zhang Ruochen looked at Zuo Longlin, who had already swum to the shore, sighed, and headed out of the manor.
“Huh! Why is he here?”
Huang Yichen was led by a maid to the bottom of the tower, and seeing Zhang Ruochen’s departing back, a trace of a strange expression appeared on her beautiful face, feeling somewhat incredulous.
The Intermediate Ruins Exploration Examination would be held two months later, and Huang Yichen wanted to raise her cultivation as much as possible, so she returned to the Thousand Waters County Kingdom, intending to ask the Thousand Waters County King to help her purchase a drop of Sacred Liquid to aid in her cultivation.
Back in the Thousand Water County Kingdom, Huang Yichen heard that her sister, the Thirteenth County King, was going to select a prince consort, and that she was going to be married off by way of a marriage.
To know, Huang Yichen had a total of thirty-six sisters and younger sisters, only the Thirteenth County Lord had the same father and mother with her, and could be said to be the only real sister.
Learning of the news, Huang Yichen, in a fit of rage, barged into the royal palace and scolded the Thousand Waters County King so severely that he almost tore down the palace.
Afterwards, she immediately rushed to this manor, wanting to meet the Thirteenth County Lord.
To Huang Yichen’s surprise, just after arriving at this manor, she saw Zhang Ruochen.
“County Lord Yanchen, please follow the slave girl up the stairs, Her Highness the Thirteenth County Lord is at the top of the tower.” That one servant girl who was very arrogant towards Zhang Ruochen and Zuo Longlin earlier, but in front of Huang Yichen, she behaved very respectfully, bending her waist and not even daring to raise her head.
This maid was very clear about how powerful County Lord Smoke Dust was, and within so County Lords, she was the most loved by the Great King. Even if she pointed at the Great King’s nose and scolded him, the Great King would not dare to return the favour.
She wouldn’t dare to offend such a big person.
Huang Yichen retracted his gaze, gently stroking his snow-white chin, and asked without leaving a trace, “What is that one Ninth Prince of Yunwu County Kingdom doing here?”
“Of course it’s here for a blind date.” The maid said.
“A blind date?”
Huang Yichen exclaimed in shock, and immediately after, she nearly broke into laughter, saying, “He actually came to meet Thirteenth King’s Sister for a blind date? Haha! Laughing my arse off!”
