Crown Prince, A Hint!

While many clans busy flocking in mayor's manor, as there is a banquet in there during the night. Countless women also began on their plan how to attract the prince and gain there favor!

Night already come, and the city still bustling. At the Mayor Hall, Mayor Ji was busy accommodating the two princes and while one was enjoying the show, the other one was discussing the plan. Everybody had there schemes while enjoying the night banquet, those who attend had always been has a purpose in coming over this night, where the moon is full.

"A beautiful evening crown prince, welcome to Xuanyun city!" A well-built with dignified aura surrounds him. This person was Wu Daoshen, 2nd elder of the Wu clan. He attend this banquet, to accompany the crown prince until the he feel satisfied. "Hhmmm...indeed, the moon is full. It's calm but mysterious aura that it's give off, were fully in display!" the crown prince nod, as he said that looking at the full moon hung in the sky. The two were currently leaning in the window balcony.

The scenery were truly breathtaking under the moonlight, the flowers shone and give off a calm and rejuvenating aura that makes the mind at peace! the flickering light of fireflies and other insects that shone they're bodies at night. Made the garden they're seeing feels like an immortal abode!

Outside it was stillness of silence; it was in contrast of what was inside. The inside of manor was really noisy and full hushing voices and clamoring tone. Many was having a jubilant laughing, others was scoffing.

Suddenly....

"How's the situation at Han clan these days?". That question holds many meanings, especially if the one who was asking is the crown prince. Wu Daoshen, took a deep breath before he took and a hushing tone. "The Han clan these days was pretty busy preparing for 2nd prince arrival, also you both arrive. 5 days ago, the Han clan had another visitor". After saying that Wu Daoshen look on his left, afraid that someone seen him talk that way to the crown prince.

Seeing the behavior of this Elder on his front Ye Kang chuckled. "It's fine, nobody will hear our conversation in here." he then continue speaking. "You said they had a visitor before we arrive, who is it?"

"It was young miss of Bing clan, from Cold Wind city, accompanying her was the captain, and there's also the guard that the Bing clan hired...." Wu Daoshen paused a little bit and glance at Ke Yang.

"Go on continue, I'm listening" Ke Yang who was enjoying the silent scenery, basked the place with moonlight, muttered in low voice that only the two of them could hear. "About the guard that Bing clan hired, it just vanish 5 days ago. As of now, even us the Wu clan haven't find him. The same for the Han clan, they seems to be eager to look for him, they been using much more of there connection in locating that hired guard."

After saying his piece Wu Daoshen remain silent, waiting for the crown prince to ask for more. "Hhmm...Bing clan, huh?"

"Does your Wu clan, have a information about this Bing clan?" Ke Yang ask after pondering for a minute, Ke Yang turn his head and glance to Wu Daoshen smiling. "the important ones".

Wu Daoshen silently jolt and shudder from that glance, what a cunning smile!

The prince knows it's odd for Han clan to accept visitor in this time and also let them stay for 5 days until his second brother arrive, so he wanted to know what was happening in Bing clan's inner working.

'It's must be connected to my 2nd brother". Ke Yang silently muttered on his mind, and purse his lips. But his eyes was actually glint as if, he was enlightened!

"Err...We only know a few" Wu Daoshen quietly said. Actually he was expecting this, they're elders and patriarch also arrive in certain conclusion that the Bing and Han clan must be in colluded, and subordinate to 2nd prince. The visit of young miss of the Bing clan, the arrival of them, the princes.

The Crown Prince Token was stolen on him and no body knows of it, except him and his underlings who work for him in the shadows!

'What are you planning, brother?' Ke Yang smile again, but hidden in that was also a terrifying fang and vengeful thoughts of schemes. Ke Yang knows that someone had stolen his Crown Prince Token, and that token can only be use of them the four princes. He tried to pursuit the trial of and relative

clues after many investigation, but he still couldn't arrive into conclusion who steal it among the princes.

Since each of everyone of his brother possess many subordinates who work for them in the shadow. Surely one of them must have it...Back then; he has already had someone in mind who stole it...

But that brother of him didn't made a move of make a fuss over him. That's why he thought it might not him. But today, those unconnected threads that puzzled him for a year finally connected themselves and it's actually to his initial assumption! his second brother was the behind of it all, it was h

is 2nd brother's subordinate who stole it!

At that time when his token as crown prince identity, he secretly stolen. He was enraged, but couldn't vent his anger, so he decided to investigate all of his maid and servant, after a month of investigation he finally that there's at least 30 spies planted by the 3 brothers on his manor, monitoring his movement and actions all the time and reporting it to their masters.

After knowing it he gathered those 30 spies and capture them, all in one go. He also questions each one of them, but it seems those spies was quite loyal to their master as nobody give him a relevant information to be use.

Thinking about it for the past year without his crown prince token, he couldn't casually walk into palace. What if any of the concubine or The Majesty his father ask him about the token and he couldn't show it up, though he could create an alibi that would only make his father more suspicious of him and lead an investigation!

If his father learn that the token he given to him was stolen his status was crown prince will be strip even his 1st prince position will be cancel, and he will surely be thrown to countryside to manage a city!

He don't want that! how could a prince manage a city? That's preposterous!, he was supposed to be a king! a ruler! He could accept such a nonsense!

That's why he remain silent on that matter pertaining the token, and just continue his investigation until it bore fruit, and now he finally connected it all...He wanted to laugh and celebrate, but he held it inside, and keep it to himself, to relish the feeling of success.

Actually it wasn't success yet, it was just his theory which form in his mind, subsconsciously at the same time. He couldn't think of any among the princes, that who was eager to become a crown prince, except his second brother! It was even amazing that after stealing it, he let the token be kept by his subordinate and didn't pass it to him to hold, so that any investigation would wouldn't be related to him.

'Hahahaha.....After a year! I finally got a traces of the token, so it was you, second brother!'

"I will be staying in the Wu clan, i hope that everything is prepared right?" Ke Yang absentmindedly asked Wu Daoshen who was also looking at the garden. "Yes, crown prince! everything is ready you can go and have rest if you want, we had also prepared the best maids and servant to service you!". Wu

Daoshen said jubilantly.

'I could finally leave! it's really hard to face this crown prince and the royal family!'

"That's good!, shall we go then?" Ke Yang asked, making Wu Daoshen startled and hurriedly said. "What about the banquet, crown prince?"

"The banquet?" Ye Kang frowned. "Don't worry about it!" he said, after thinking for a second. After saying that, the Crown Prince strut directly and speak with his voice infuse of qi, making it applified!

"I, the Crown Prince Ke Yang, thank you all for joining the night banquet, and especially Mayor Ji Fanyun, while smiling amicable and putting a saluting fist and slightly bending his back to bow. For a royal to do this, there's no way they could reject that, especially to Mayor Ji.

"Hahaha...How could I take the credit for it? His Highness the Crown Prince paid a visit my city! of course, a have to do a welcoming celebration and make sure that the his highness is well satisfied upon my city!" Mayor Ji said with a joyous voice, though what was inside his mind was different.

'So the main has began?'

Crown Prince Ke Yang chuckled, after paying a few more bow he straighten his back. 'This bunch of official sure know how to create an joyous atmosphere despite each one of them was actually enemy, and scheming!

'Now, it's about time I leave' Ke Yang then, again spoke, but this time he didn't bow and saluted his fist, instead he step on higher stage making him stare at the large group of nobles from above.

"My dearest subjects, though this crown prince his happy for your visit and accompany me in celebrating this banquet. Still, a had travel from Shuang city to Xuanyun city for 4 days. I i would like to implore all, that i will resign for the day! and take a rest!" Ke Yang spoken those words while releasing his royal aura that was from his cultivation.

Royal family has a exclusive cultivation for themselves and everybody from the noble family know of it. Once you comprehend it more indepth the aura you release become more and more dignified and kingly which the essence of royalty in the cultivation art.

As for Shuang city, it's the city where back in the days when King Shuang still young and frivolous because he made a mistake once. He was thrown in the Shuang city, by the late king. But thanks to his talent, resources and connection with the nobles he manage to snatch the throne made himself the k

ing. The Shuang city become the center of the Xuanyun Kingdom instead of Xuanyun city.

"Your highness! if your tired feel free to take a rest! no need to stay with us your mere subjects!"

"Yes! your highness, please do not worry about us!"

"Please go ahead and take a rest, your highness!"

"Yes, Crown prince!"

"...."

After a single nobles spoken, other nobles followed. Well what could to do, if the crown prince want to leave? hold him there? that will make them a criminal, wouldn't they?

As for take chance to strike a conversation, since the begin the crown prince just meet up with the Wu clan Elde. After the lenghty talk, he decide to rest. Clearly he already heard what's there to heard. Next up would be visiting the Wu clan and examining his subordinate's clan.

Ke Yang smiled, but inside his mind a devil was smirking. While maintaining the facade he said. "Many thanks, everyone. I'll take my leave then!" . after saying that he glance to Wu Daoshen who was already arrive at the gate with a luxurious carriage for him to sit and relax!

......

Meanwhile in a certain inn, inside the room a man could be vaguely be picture out sitting in meditation while his surroundings was fluctuating with qi that was surging and also a lot of scrap of spirit stones beside him which deplete of qi, if count it was already reach a staggering amount of 21, 00 low grade spirit stones!

Jiang Feitian already consume 21, 000 low grade spirit stones! which was almost 90% of low grade spirit stones he has. As for his mid-grade spirit stone he still haven't use any of it.

After more time passed suddenly, Jiang Feitian close eyes quivered and open. There's a flickering glint of purple color, for an instant it appeared but in a flash it went vanish too. Jiang Feitian who had awakened from his cultivation take deep breath and muttered. "Is this they called bottleneck?"

'That's weird? I have the system how could I have a bottleneck! there's shouldn't be!'

"I felt that my body couldn't absorbed anymore'

"Hhmm.." Jiang Feitian silently muttering himself inside the dark room. "Status". A blue screen appeared in front of Jiang Feitian. If any cultivator or mortal there observed carefully and look at his eyes. They will be shocked because of unbelievable and absurd scene, as why there was a bluish colo

red reflecting in Jiang Feitian eyes when the room was fully dark without light and other color!

Reading his status he could see that at the end of Stage column a highlight word 'bottleneck' appeared.

'Bottleneck?'

He move lightly to straigthen his legs. "One more points and I will breakthrough and reach higher stage, but how?" He silently pondered. Jiang Feitain walk outside the window and view the night, twinkling starlights appeared on his sight, painted the night sky. The system was still there and haven't disapper yet on his front.

Jiang Feitian who was enjoying the night view for a while, suddenly notice that the system screen still there. How long was it? It should disappeared already?

Though he already notice the system haven't disappeared yet, he just ignore it. Since the time he always summon the system and after reading, it would just disappear later.

Suddenly he was reminded of something!

'It would disappeared later, because I had read the information in the system? But I have read the information in the system though???'

Then Jiang Feitian lowered his head and read till he reach the bottom. "This!?"

Realizing that why was the system haven't disappeared yet, he couldn't help but gratified to it. He then laugh loudly at the rooftop of the inn. Making the a rumbling sound and startled his neighbor cultivators.

"Damn, retard! Why are you laughing!!! Are you planning on killing me!!?" One of the cultivator who was cultivating silently, suddenly suffer an interruption on his cultivation resulting in coughing blood. He just suffered Qi Deviation! He almost lost his life from that!

Fuming with angered he bellowed at the top of his lungs, making Jiang Feitian realize that he laugh too loud and disturb the cultivator who was meditating. Suddenly..

"Get down here, damn bastard!"

"Who shouted, Damn! are you planning on killing everyone here!?"

"Who was it!?? Get in here and apologise to this daddy of yours!"

"Bastards! Laughing in the middle of the night... are you purposely doing this!"

Everyone who was awaken from there cultivation was infuriated by that laugh and shouted. Suddenly a voice resound from the inn from the rooftop it also exude an aura of Peak-Spirit Qi Stage making those cursing and threathening him shut up.

"My apology, fellow brother cultivators I was carried away from gaining an enlightenment!, I, Feitian, really sorry about this!" Jiang Feitian voice echo, and could be heard within 300 meters radius.

A voice replied to Jiang Feitian sincered apology. "Since Cultivator Feitian made an apology, I could accept that. I am not a petty person who pursue the one's admitting his mistake!" It's voice resounded with proud, and full of righteousness. But Jiang Feitian who already scan the inn with his spiritual sense, he already know who replied those proud and righteousness words was merely a Low-Spirit Qi Stage Cultivator!

Using his spiritual sense he re-direct his cultivation pressure to that cultivator making the Low-Spirit Qi cultivator kneel without resistance and shuddering, trembling and even bleed it's lips from gritting teeth.

As for those who threaten him and also shout at him, he also made them kneel with pressure. After he scan the inn with spiritual sense, he discover that the strongest cultivator in the in was actually only at Mid-Spirit Qi Stage! These bastards like they were offended and would kill him no matter wh

at was, merely weak cultivators.

So decided to flaunt his aura, lest they think that he was pushover. After enjoying the show of the cultivators kneeling in the floor. The pressure suddenly vanish with a trace!

One of the cultivators who was kneeling and even using his two hands to support himself making sure that he wouldn't end up lying down in the floor.

"Hah! it's finally disappear. Just who was it did I offend!?". He muttered while wiping off his sweat that was falling.

"The senior finally left!"

Many voice sighing echo through the inn, they just escape death! luckily that senior just made them kneel, rather than grab their little life because they offend him. Thinking of the pressure that they endured for 15 minutes made them shudder in fear and their legs was still wobbling just to walk!
