It's been three days since Xian Wu worked at Flowering Garden. All along, he managed to get used to the working environment in there. As a cultivator, those work that the restaurant owner tasked him to do are so easy for him.
It was true that he is a fast learner. He learned how to cook almost every dishes in the restaurant just in these three days he worked in Flowering Garden. Jun Wei and his family were shocked at how fast he could learn all of that. Jun Wei then decided to let Xian Wu have a cooking shift at the afternoon in for his next working schedule.
At night, Xian Wu busied himself with investigating the Qin Royal family. His investigation led him to find some crucial information.
In the Qin Royal family, there are five people that have Emperor level cultivation. These people are the King Qin, the Queen Xiao, the King's father, Qin Tian, Qin Tian's sister, Qin Huangyue, and the King's brother, Qin Hung. However, Qin Hung is already wounded, and his cultivation already regressed to Early Step Grandmaster realm.
There is another thing that Xian Wu found out. The prince who caused the death of his sister is the Crown Prince of the Qin Kingdom. His name is Qin Juan. He is a cultivator at the Step Ancestor realm, and level Seven at that. It was not easy if Xian Wu wanted to take him down.
Other than the Crown Prince, King Qin still have nine other sons, and four daughters.
At this moment, Xian Wu decided to explore the market in the Qin Royal Capital. Today happen to be his day off from working in the restaurant. As he headed out early in the morning, Jun Ling'er saw him.
"Morning Tian Wu. Where are you going this early?"
"Morning. I'm heading to the market."
"Market? Wait for me. I'm heading there to. I happen to wanted to buy something."
Jun Ling'er hastily readied herself. A moment later, she came out of the house. She wore a some casual but elegant clothes, with a light make up on her face.
"How do I look?"
Xian Wu gazed at her, and admired her beauty. Although she is not a cultivator, her natural beauty still could stir some emotion in Xian Wu's heart. He involuntarily replied his honest answer, "You look pretty."
Jun Ling'er smiled brightly as she heard his compliments.
"Let's go then."
She pulled Xian Wu away, and headed for the market. Xian Wu just followed her, while getting intoxicated by her perfume.
...
"Look Tian Wu, they are selling some Berserk Cow's meat. It's one of the rare ingredients. Let's buy it."
"Ah, there are selling the new type of inner wear. Should we check on that?"
"Cuute! This Wolfox cub is so cute. Tian Wu can we take him home?"
"This flower is so beautiful. Um...Tian Wu, can you buy some for me?"
As the two walked around the market, Xian Wu was able to see a new side of Jun Ling'er. She is too enthusiastic when it come to shopping. She is almost jumping from one shop to another one. Also, she was talking to him excitedly as if he is her family.
In the end, Xian Wu bought her a bouquet of flowers. Xian Wu only have sixty copper coins from working in the restaurant for three days. It's not much for him to spend. All his previous money was gone. His storage ring is still in the forest, which located at the periphery of Mount Lost Beast. Thus, he is right now can be said to be a penniless person.
As they walked around, they heard a commotion from the distance. Looking ahead, the saw a young man who was accompanied by some guards walking out in the market.
"Ah! That's the Seventh Prince, Prince Qin Li."
"Wow! He is so handsome!"
"He is also very charming. I wish I could marry him."
"You wish. He is not even looking at you."
Many young girl in the market were infatuated to Prince Qin Li. The man really has the face that attract the girls attention.
As the prince walked slowly while looking at the surrounding market, he suddenly saw a young man and a young girl, who happens to also look at him. Qin Li's eyes then focused on the girl.
"Ah! The prince is looking at me. Is he interested in me?"
"Looking my foot. You are not on his sight. He is looking at her."
The girl pointed her finger at Jun Ling'er beside Xian Wu.
Qin Li's eyes flashed with a bright light. He then approached Jun Ling'er.
"I'm Prince Qin Li, the Seventh Prince of Qin. I want you to be my sixth concubine. Follow me to the Royal Palace."
After that, Qin Li continue to walk, as if what he said is already a sure thing. Jun Ling'er paled when she heard that. At the side, Xian Wu was cursing, what the f@#k is wrong with this guy? Even if he is a prince, he shouldn't be going around flaunting his status. There is a limit to what he is free to do, right?
"Oh no! Why did the prince didn't choose me, but her?"
How lucky of her to be choosen."
"Prince, choose me too!"
The girls still hoped for the prince to take them too. It's not a surprise for a someone from the Royal family to have more than one women. In this world, there is no law that prevent any man to have more wives. Even someone who is not a cultivator can also have more women by his side as long as he have money.
At this time, Jun Ling'er bowed with her face full of worry, "Your highness Seven Prince, can we further discuss this matter. This is too sudden for me."
Qin Li only glanced at her. After that her commanded his guards, "Take her."
"...No!"
All the blood was drained out of Jun Ling'er's face. This prince is too unreasonable. He will just use heave hand to deal with any disagreement.
Two of the guards walked out and wanted to capture Jun Ling'er.
Thud! Pow!
However, before their hand touched her, they were greeted by a fist and a kick. these attacks sent them flying away.
"Don't even think of touching her." Xian Wu warned at those guards. The prince showed his unreasonable attitude. Therefore, Xian Wu also showed how unreasonable he can be.
"Prince of Qin, in a matter of choosing companion, there must be a mutual desire for two party to become companion. If not, you should not force your way." Xian Wu harshly advised the prince.
"Take them both. If they resist, kill the man, and tie the girl." Prince Qin Li commanded indifferently.
"Yes Young Prince."
The rest ten guards charged towards the two. Of all the guards, four of them is a cultivators at the Step Master's realm. Furthermore, two of them is at the peak of level Nine Step Master.
Xian Wu's eye glinted with a cold light. He also charged at the attackers. One of the attackers at the Third level of Step Master slashed his sword at Xian Wu. Xian Wu easily avoided it. After punching the wrist of that man, Xian Wu then took away his sword.
Using the sword, he carried the rest of the incoming attack. However, these people was not that easily defeated. They tried to attack him from every side.
"God of War's Sword Technique: First Attack - Anihilating Infantry!"
A cold aura was released from the sword in Xian Wu's hand. He then swiftly slashed it towards the incoming attackers. In that instant, the guards felt their heart turned cold, and a cutting pressure was upon their head.
The two peak Step Master managed to overcome the intimidating coldness in their heart, and avoided the slash. The rest however was not that fortunate. Other than the two other Step Master getting deeply wounded, the rest were annihilated by that sword slash.
"This is bad. Someone has defied the prince."
"Blood! Ah, that man killed the guards. He is doomed."
"Run! Don't get yourself inflicted in the fight."
Everyone dispersed away, making a certain distance around Xian Wu and Qin Li's group clear. Jun Ling'er also trembled in fear as she saw the dead bodies on the ground. It was the first time for her to see someone got killed in front of her. However, she didn't blame Xian Wu. He did that in order to protect her.
On the other side, Qin Li frowned when he saw his guards got killed and injured. He looked at Xian Wu sharply, and asked, "Do you know the consequences of killing my guards?"
"Consequences? You are the one to think of the consequences of your action." Xian Wu said indifferently.
"You two, go and kill him." After saying that, Qin Li took out a medallion. He rised it, and a light come out of it.
Xian Wu furrowed his brows. Did the prince just sent some kind of signal? This is not good.
This time Xian Wu was the first to charge at the two guards.
"God of War's Sword Technique: First Attack - Consecutive Annihilating Infantry."
Consecutive Annihilating Infantry is a variation technique of the Annihilating Infantry. The difference is that, Xian Wu was using the same technique consecutively, and created a few more slash at his opponents.
The two fought using their own techniques. However, the profoundness and the level of Xian Wu's attack are above of what the two were able to accomplish. Even their peak Nine Step Master cultivation we're unable to contend against the boy's attack, which only powered by level Seven Step Master's cultivation.
In just a couple of minutes, Xian Wu managed to overpower the two, and eventually killed them.
"Now it's your turn." Xian Wu looked coldly at Qin Li. He took another sword on the ground, and then walked towards Qin Li.
"You won't dare." Qin Li's expression change when he saw that. However, he still think that a commoner will not dare to kill a prince.
"Let's see whether I dare or not."
Xian Wu then charged swiftly at the prince. The prince paled, and started to run away. As Xian Wu closed his distance, he furrowed his brows. Suddenly, he jumped back. Right after that, a sword thrusted on the ground where he stood just now.
"Lowly dog. How dare you try to murder the prince. You are courting death."
At this time two sillhouette appeared not to far away. The appeared to be a cultivators at the middle of Step Grandmaster. They rushed towards the fleeing prince in order to protect him. Seeing them, Qin Li's eyes brightened, and a smirk appeared on his face. He then stopped and looked back at the distance Xian Wu.
"Now, it's your turn to die. Kill him."
Qin Li shouted coldly. It was the first time he felt humiliated. The guy just forced him to run away in fear. This caused the surrounding people to have a bad impression on him.
Xian Wu's eyes flickered. Instantly, he used the two sword as a javelin and threw it towards Prince Qin Li with all his might.
Seeing that, the expression of the two Step Grandmasters changed. They hurriedly charged ahead, and used their own swords to deflect the incoming swords. Fortunately, they were able to defend the prince.
They then angrily looked at Xian Wu. However, they were flabbergasted to found out that the young man has already disappeared.
"Where is the girl?" Qin Li on the other hand looked around for Jun Ling'er. However, she also unknowingly disappeared.
