Martial Master

Qin Chen's words had a pointed implication, causing everyone to cast peculiar looks at the Third Prince.

Those who held important positions around Liu Xuanrui were certainly no fools; they could naturally discern the truth behind the Third Prince's words.

"Master Qin has misunderstood," the Third Prince cupped his hands towards Qin Chen, wearing a regretful expression. "This prince was also deceived by the ancient Jin, believing Master Qin to be heinous, which led to my earlier offense. I hope Master Qin will not take it to heart."

His attitude was sincere, as if he truly intended to apologize to Qin Chen.

"Oh, is that so? Then what Geng Deyuan and the others said earlier, that my few friends have caught the eye of His Highness the Third Prince, and that once this young master dies, they will become His Highness's possessions, is also false?" Qin Chen said with a smile that didn’t reach his eyes.

Upon hearing this, Liu Xuanrui and the others looked over, their eyes revealing a strange cold light.

The Third Prince's face turned pale, and he angrily retorted, "That Geng Deyuan has such audacity, daring to wantonly frame this prince. I am a prince of the Great Wei Dynasty; how could I engage in such deeds? Naturally, it's false. Master Qin's insight is profound; you wouldn't be deceived, would you?"

"Hehe." Qin Chen smirked coldly but chose not to say anything further, turning to Liu Xuanrui. "Your Majesty, the remaining individuals are in your hands to deal with."

The remaining Third Prince and the head of the Leng family held noble status, and Qin Chen certainly could not kill them at will. He would not overstep his bounds and truly kill the two.

Liu Xuanrui sighed in relief and said, "Alright, take Xin'er and the head of the Leng family back, and the others shall be imprisoned and await their fate."

"Yes!"

Xiong Zhenfeng immediately led a group of Imperial Guards forward.

"Father."

The Third Prince's face turned white as he called out.

"Your Majesty, Leng is merely assisting the City Guard in their investigation; I shouldn't have done anything wrong, right?" Leng Fei Fan hurriedly interjected.

"Rest assured, Head Leng. Since you say you were only cooperating with the investigation, then it is naturally nothing. However, earlier, Head Leng acted recklessly in my City Guard, and I must investigate thoroughly to provide an explanation to the subjects of the dynasty," Liu Xuanrui scoffed.

The Leng family is one of the top three wealthy families in the dynasty, with a Seventh Level Martial King presiding, and their relationships with the major forces of the dynasty are extremely close. If Leng Fei Fan, as the head of the Leng family, were to be arrested, the repercussions would be significant.

Although Liu Xuanrui was the monarch of the dynasty, he did not dare to act rashly against Leng Fei Fan.

Otherwise, it would surely lead to turmoil in the dynasty.

Leng Fei Fan's face was dark; since Liu Xuanrui had said so, he, being alone, naturally could not resist. He could only be taken away by the Imperial Guards led by Xiong Zhenfeng.

"Master Qin, you have likely suffered quite a bit at the City Guard these past few days. I shall not disturb you further; I will handle the matters below. I wonder where Master Qin is heading next; I will send someone to escort you."

"No need for that."

Qin Chen waved his hand.

"That cannot do. Master Qin's safety is my dynasty's top priority," Liu Xuanrui said solemnly.

Qin Chen looked at Liu Xuanrui and smiled faintly. "If that's the case, then take me to the Alchemy Pavilion."

"Alright, Fei, you will escort Master Qin back to the Alchemy Pavilion immediately. Ensure Master Qin's safety."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Fei Leng hurried forward. "Master Qin, please!"

Qin Chen nodded and took the lead in leaving the City Guard.

After Qin Chen departed, a large group of City Guard soldiers were taken away for strict investigation.

"Your Majesty, how should we handle the Third Prince and the head of the Leng family?" Huang Huan asked nervously from the side.
