The Prime Minister’s Darling-Chapter 1513 - 736 The Brave Little Jie Kong (First Update)

When she was still in Zhan Country’s underground Martial Arts Arena, Gu Jiao wanted to use the name Long Aotian.

However, Zhan Country strictly regulated the use of the word "dragon" by common folk, and she reluctantly chose the name Xiong Bazhutian instead.

Yan Country seemed to have no such restriction, so Gu Jiao generously bestowed the name Long Aotian upon Gu Changqing.

Because it was a name given by his sister, Gu Changqing was very satisfied.

Because of this absurdly flamboyant name, the Crown Prince was speechless.

Nevertheless, now that Prince Han had been injured, the Crown Prince was in need of a powerful expert by his side.

Long Aotian arrived just in time.

Pang Hai quietly asked Gu Changqing, "Why did you change your name?"

Gu Changqing said without changing his expression, "Oh, I grew tired of the old one."

The underground Martial Arts Arena used pseudonyms, so he directly used Gu Changqing, leading Pang Hai to assume it was a pseudonym.

Pang Hai couldn’t be bothered to care about the change.

Whether or not one was an expert wasn’t for Pang Hai to say, and it wasn’t something the Crown Prince would believe just because he said so. The Crown Prince called the brocade-clad guards to have a few exchanges with Gu Changqing.

Gu Changqing knocked down ten of the brocade-clad guards in just a few moments.

A touch of admiration flashed in the depths of the Crown Prince’s eyes, and he asked the trusted guard beside him, "How does his skill compare to Han Ye’s?"

The trusted guard looked at Gu Changqing, who had sheathed his sword, with complicated eyes and whispered, "Subordinate thinks his martial arts might surpass Prince Han’s."

The Crown Prince smiled, "Is that so? In that case, it seems I’ve stumbled upon a treasure."

The trusted guard hesitated for a moment and then said, "It’s just uncertain whether this person is reliable or if he sincerely wishes to serve your Highness."

The Crown Prince said confidently, "I am the Crown Prince, the future monarch of Dayan. A good bird chooses a tree to nest in; as long as he’s not stupid, he will follow me with absolute loyalty. However, you are right not to trust anyone from the underground arena easily. Go and fetch it."

"Yes."

The trusted guard left.

The Crown Prince walked over and stopped them, "That’s enough, the match is over."

The brocade-clad guards exhaled in relief.

The trusted guard brought over a small porcelain bottle.

The Crown Prince smiled at Gu Changqing, "Drink this down, and from now on, you will be my confidant."

Pang Hai glanced at the porcelain bottle and touched his nose guiltily.

He hadn’t mentioned this to Gu Changqing before coming.

It wasn’t easy to enter the Crown Prince’s residence. There was a price to pay.

Without even asking what it was, Gu Changqing tilted his head back and downed the contents of the bottle in one gulp.

The others watched, somewhat taken aback.

The Crown Prince laughed heartily, "Good! Decisive! I greatly admire your spirit! What you consumed is poison. You must take an antidote once a month or the poison will be fatal. Rest assured, as long as you are utterly loyal to me, I will ensure you live longer than anyone else."

The Crown Prince was very pleased with Long Aotian. Normally, such a skilled fighter wouldn’t be entitled to their own independent courtyard.

But the Crown Prince decided to make an exception for Long Aotian.

He ordered his servants to clean up an elegant and unique courtyard for Long Aotian and even arranged several subordinates for him.

Even when the other party expressed a dislike for restricted freedom, the Crown Prince also agreed amicably.

...

After leaving the Crown Prince’s residence, Pang Hai asked Gu Changqing, "Why are you following me?"

Gu Changqing replied, "I need to make a trip to the outer city. Give me a ride."

"But I’m not going to the out—." Pang Hai felt the oppressive might from Gu Changqing, Long Aotian. So a name change was that impressive, huh? Why do you seem so cocky? Is this name stronger than King Yama’s?

Pang Hai waved his hand, "Fine, fine, I’ll take you there!"

Gu Changqing boarded Pang Hai’s carriage.

After finishing his conversation with Su Yuan, Master Mu maintained the same direction: recruit Xiao Liulang and acquire the Hei Fengqi.

The former task was entrusted to Mu Qingchen, while Master Mu had his own plans for the latter.

Master Mu said, "Su Yuan, you and Mu Tao, come to my study."

He had something to discuss with them alone.

Mu Qingchen said, "Grandfather, Mu Chuan and I will return to the Academy."

"Go on," Master Mu nodded kindly.

Su Hao said to Su Yuan, "Father, I’ll wait for you in the carriage."

Su Yuan nodded.

On the other side, Mu Qingchen had already turned to leave with Mu Chuan, the latter chatting and laughing with him, as close as brothers.

Watching Su Hao follow them with a dejected expression, Su Yuan couldn’t help but feel that Su Hao was somewhat pitiful.

After leaving the Flower Hall,

Su Hao caught up with Mu Qingchen, "Fourth Brother, did I say something wrong earlier? You seemed to be unhappy?"

Mu Qingchen’s brows furrowed slightly.

Mu Chuan also stopped and scoffed at Su Hao, "Now you realize you said something wrong? You kept mentioning Xiao Liulang as your Fourth Brother’s good friend earlier. I thought you had lost your mind!"
