As the young prince of Daqian, Can Yi was usually addressed as Your Highness.

And for Can Yi to address someone with such respect as "Your Highness" again, this person had to be an even more powerful prince than the Lord of Liangzhou, or a member of the imperial family!

Stronger than the Lord of Liangzhou!

He didn't even consider the possibility of "Crown Prince."

As everyone knew, the Emperor had only one daughter!

Just that alone was enough to make Qi Zhengyang nearly faint.

It's over.

If only you'd said so earlier.

Xu Yang shot Can Yi a deep look, completely unsurprised.

Can Yi's behavior from the start had aroused his suspicions—obviously, he'd known Xu Yang's identity from the outset.

Then he turned to the utterly shocked Qi Yu.

"Miss Qi, your first wish is fulfilled."

"Ah..."

Qi Yu responded in a daze, still feeling as if she were dreaming.

"Now for the second wish!"

Xu Yang grinned at Qi Zhengyang: "Someone asked me to give you a beating!"

Thud!

Qi Zhengyang fell to his knees on the spot.

"Your Highness, spare my life!"

Boom!

Xu Yang vanished without warning.

Bang!

Qi Zhengyang shrieked as he was sent flying.

He didn't dare resist at all!

Even with ten times the guts, all he could do was accept his fate and take the beating!

Bam bam bam!!

Punches and kicks rained down; the dignified Clan Leader of the Qi Family, a Myriad Manifestations Realm Perfection expert, huddled on the ground, holding his head, face and body covered in bruises and footprints.

Luckily, there was no one else around!

Otherwise, jaws would have dropped everywhere!

After a bit of beating, Xu Yang lost interest.

There was no resistance—how boring!

This much was enough; Qi Zhengyang would need at least a few days to recover.

Qi Yu watched from the side, feeling both distressed and oddly satisfied, not daring to say a word.

"From now on, whatever Qi Yu wants to do, anyone in the Qi Family who dares to stop her will bear the consequences!" Xu Yang glared coldly at Qi Zhengyang.

Qi Zhengyang was stupefied.

This was exactly the second wish!

If Qi Yu hadn't made those two wishes, wouldn't none of this have happened?

For a moment, he looked at his daughter with mixed feelings.

Can Yi sighed inwardly, glanced at Qi Yu, then killed any stray thoughts, and said solemnly, "Your Highness, don't worry. The Liang Prince's residence will keep an eye on the Qi Family!"

Qi Zhengyang suddenly shivered, hurriedly agreeing.

"Your Highness, I swear, from now on no one in the Qi Family will ever try to control Qi Yu again."

Can Yi picked up the topic with a smile: "Oh right, you still don't know His Highness's identity, do you?"

Qi Zhengyang and Qi Yu looked at Can Yi together, full of shock and confusion!

Xu Yang's expression didn't change—he made no attempt to stop him.

"His Highness is the Crown Prince of Daqian!"

"What?"

"How is that possible?"

"Didn't His Majesty only have one… Hiss!"

Amid a chorus of shocked gasps, the ancestral hall fell utterly silent.

Qi Zhengyang and his daughter stared with wide eyes, as if they were dreaming!

The Crown Prince?

No wonder Can Yi was so respectful!

With such a status, even the Lord of Liangzhou would have to treat him with utmost courtesy.

Hiss!

Qi Zhengyang shivered abruptly, his scalp tingling.

If the Qi Family dared to pull any tricks, what would be the consequences?

At this moment, he had no schemes left in his heart.

Seeing all this, Xu Yang nodded slightly.

After this incident, Qi Yu would finally have her freedom.

He gazed at Qi Yu, then said after some thought, "Miss Qi, I have no other intentions toward you; it's only because my master was an old acquaintance of Senior Qi Xi."

Though he didn't mention Gu Jun, his words made everything clear.

Qi Yu was slightly startled, then silently nodded.

Xu Yang turned to Can Yi. "Let's head to the prince's residence first."

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Can Yi respectfully led the way.

Even after the two men left, the ancestral hall remained silent.

Father and daughter were still processing everything.

Some moments later—

A figure shot over like lightning.

It was Qi Fengquan.

When he sensed that locked aura vanish, he'd hurriedly left the secret chamber.

Sighting the miserable state of Qi Zhengyang, Qi Fengquan's face changed drastically: "Clan Leader, what happened?"

Qi Zhengyang snapped out of it, grimacing in pain as he sucked in a cold breath.

"N-nothing."

He forced a bitter smile: "Mr. Quan, were you hit too?"

Qi Fengquan shuddered as he replied, "There was a True Sovereign's aura locking onto me. I didn't dare move a muscle!"

"True Sovereign..."

Qi Zhengyang's jaw dropped; he swallowed hard.

There was actually a True Sovereign hiding in the shadows!

Hiss!

"The Qi Family really walked up to Death's door today."

"If it weren't for his master's old friendship with our family, I'm afraid today the Qi Family would've been wiped out…"

Qi Zhengyang's body went cold; he felt secretly fortunate and at the same time, even more bitterness appeared on his face.

This could have been a great fortune for the Qi Family!

But now, there was nothing left to rely on!

He couldn't help but look at Qi Yu.

How could the exalted Crown Prince ever be interested in his daughter?

Only because of an old friendship!

"Clan Leader, who exactly was that man?" Qi Fengquan couldn't help but ask.

Qi Zhengyang hesitated and replied, "The Crown Prince of Daqian!"

"What?"

...

What happened to the Qi Family after that was no longer Xu Yang's concern.

All the tasks his master assigned him had been perfectly accomplished!

Liang Prince's Residence.

Xu Yang was quite surprised when he met the Liang Prince.

Because the reality was nothing like he'd imagined.

Originally, he'd thought—no matter what, it couldn't be that different from Zheng Xuan.

But the real Lord of Liangzhou was an unremarkable-looking old man.

His face was covered in wrinkles; his body a bit plump, even a little hunched.

Though he wore a python robe, he looked gentle and amiable, his face wreathed in a smile.

If he changed into ordinary clothes and went outside, no one would suspect he was the Liang Prince!

"My appearance must have disappointed Your Highness," the Liang Prince laughed heartily, sweeping a glance over Xu Yang.

Xu Yang laughed with spirit: "Compared to Zheng Xuan, I find Your Highness much more likable!"

The Liang Prince was stunned, then burst out laughing again.

"You brat are indeed an interesting one!"

"There are many rumors, but seeing you today, you're worthy of being Zheng Xuan's son."

"Sigh!"

His admiration ended with a heavy sigh.

He knew even more about Zheng Xuan than Xu Yang did!

Zheng Xuan's life could be called tragic!

But he also knew, for Xu Yang, life was too unfair!

Xu Yang hated Zheng Xuan—as he should!

Once, he'd asked Zheng Xuan: 'Do you regret it?'

Zheng Xuan shook his head and said, 'Never regretted it!'

Given the outcome, it was no surprise!

"Have a seat first!" The Liang Prince gestured with his hand.

After Xu Yang sat down, the Liang Prince pondered, "Your trip to Liangzhou—is it to enter the Spirit Tribulation Celestial Prison?"

Xu Yang nodded: "That's right. In three months, I have a big fight with Song Yuanhao. I can't afford to slack off, so I want to go into the Spirit Tribulation Celestial Prison and use the binding and shackling force inside to cultivate!"

"That's not a problem!"

"Though there's been an accident at the Spirit Tribulation Celestial Prison, with Mr. Su and the Prison Suppression Seal present, it'll soon be brought under control."

"Your Highness, is the Spirit Tribulation Celestial Prison in chaos right now?"

The Liang Prince forced a bitter smile: "Calling it chaos is putting it mildly, it's about to blow up!"

Xu Yang's eyes brightened: "In this current state, would I be able to go in?"

Chaos… that's exactly the essence of the Chaotic Void Celestial Saber!

As for Tang Yan's Chaotic Void Hammer Skill, at present he'd barely just scratched the surface.

This secret technique was among his three most powerful skills so far!

Only second to the Heaven Locking Three Seals and the Heavenly Radiance Divine Sky!

The Liang Prince asked suspiciously, "Even the chaos inside will help your training?"
