"It depends on your fate. I can save you for a while, but not for a lifetime!" the Northern City Prince said directly. "You kid, you've been seen, showing off your edge, even daring to offend a Heavenly Court Prince. This matter can be big or small!"
"The Northern City Prince speaks like this, does he have a good plan?" Lu Fan smiled slightly. "Since the Northern City Prince is willing to save me, he must have a plan!"
"No, no, no, don't talk nonsense here!" The Northern City Prince quickly shook his head. "The reason I saved you is that I think it's a pity for you to die, but I have no other thoughts. Otherwise, people would really think I have ambitions for the throne!"
"You are the Second Prince. Even if you have ambitions for the throne, it doesn't seem like much, does it!" Lu Fan smiled faintly, his expression even more indifferent.
"That may be so, but I am not interested in this throne!" The Northern City Prince shook his head. "So don't talk nonsense here. If he finds out, it will be troublesome if he misunderstands me. The struggle for the throne is extremely dangerous, and I might become a sacrifice!"
"It seems the Northern City Prince sees things clearly!" Lu Fan smiled slightly. "Since the Northern City Prince says so, I will act according to his wishes and remain low-key for now!"
"Listen to what you're saying, the more I feel something is wrong?" The Northern City Prince frowned.
Lu Fan, however, understood the unspoken implications and didn't say much, but he was quite moved by what the Northern City Prince had just said.
Not long after, the Northern American County Princess arrived at the Hundred Flowers Pavilion. Seeing Lu Fan's figure, she frowned and said, "You still have the mood to drink here, I really admire you!"
"What's wrong?" Lu Fan smiled slightly. "I just went to the Heavenly Road, can't I even drink?"
"Fifth Brother is not someone to be trifled with. You have already offended him, and he will not let you off!" The Northern American County Princess said solemnly. "You should leave the Imperial City quickly. This way, you can save your life. After all, if Fifth Brother really decides to make a move against you, even I won't be able to protect you!"
"Northern America, you're getting more and more beautiful!" The Northern City Prince smiled. "Besides, he's with me, who can touch him? Aren't you worrying for nothing!"
"Second Brother, everyone in the Imperial City knows you are a dandy. You are probably just playing around, and you wouldn't really protect him!" The Northern American County Princess said directly. "I know very well that you are most unwilling to get involved in the struggle for the throne, and you would never offend Fifth Brother for him!"
"Offend Fifth Brother?"
The Northern City Prince burst into laughter. "You underestimate me too much. Although your Second Brother is not very capable, he is not someone to be toyed with. If someone really wants to touch him, they won't get away with it!"
Facing these words, Lu Fan was also somewhat grateful, especially with the Northern City Prince's words, which touched him.
"Forget what I just said!"
The Northern American County Princess was helpless and showed a wry smile. She didn't expect the Northern City Prince to say that, which made her somewhat bewildered.
After drinking enough, Lu Fan and Liu Ruyan returned to their residence. The events of the day had also touched them.
Offending several princes was no small matter. If things really escalated, even Lu Fan might not be able to handle it.
"Actually, I admire you. You've always been so calm!" Liu Ruyan looked at Lu Fan. "Have you ever thought that in the near future, you might die in this Imperial City?"
"Don't worry, I'm not that bad!" Lu Fan said with a wry smile. "Besides, after the Heavenly Road, I have reached the peak of the Half-Emperor realm. It won't be long before I can break through to the Martial Emperor realm!"
"Half-Emperor peak?"
Liu Ruyan was somewhat surprised and even more shocked. She naturally did not expect Lu Fan to have reached such a level. After all, Lu Fan could already fight against Martial Emperor level experts before. Now that he had reached this point, it was likely a new height. Su Dan Novel Network
"Don't celebrate too early. If I'm not mistaken, this matter might not be that simple!" Ling'er shook her head and said, "I heard that Prince Yun Hai is not easy to deal with. Among the many princes, he has great authority, and he has connections with many officials in the court!"
"What, are you worried about me too?" Lu Fan smiled.
"Don't you forget my previous identity!" Ling'er said directly. "I am the daughter of the City Lord, so I am naturally very clear about these court matters!"
"Don't worry, I understand what you're saying!" Lu Fan nodded, his expression becoming serious.
Ling'er didn't say anything more. Since Lu Fan had already said that, she couldn't say much more, but she was still uncertain about this matter.
On a dark and windy night, the entire Imperial Capital seemed quiet. A light rain began to fall outside, and outside a hotel, more than a dozen men in black were ambushing. These men in black were agile and exuded an aura that was unsettling.
"Kill this person and retreat quickly. Do not be caught with any evidence. You should know what I mean!"
Old Ghost's voice rang out, his eyes filled with solemnity. He was very clear about this matter, after all, Lu Fan's identity was not simple, and he had even incurred the wrath of heaven. It was very likely that he had already attracted the attention of the royal family. If he were to die unexpectedly at this time, even Prince Bai Long would find it difficult to bear.
The men in black nodded one after another. They were all death warriors. Even if they died, they had to complete their master's mission. This was their destiny, and they had no reservations about it.
Not long after, they entered the inn and carefully searched the people inside. When they found Lu Fan's room, they swarmed in without any hesitation, their sharp blades piercing directly into the bed, carrying a sense of anger.
However, before they could react, they discovered that there was no one in the bed, and their faces suddenly changed.
Not far from the inn, Lu Fan stood slowly, a sinister smile on his face. "I knew someone would try to harm me. It seems my guess was correct. I just don't know who sent you, to be so foolish!"
Old Ghost saw Lu Fan's figure and his brows immediately furrowed. He did not expect Lu Fan to know their whereabouts and guess so accurately. However, it was understandable. Lu Fan had offended Prince Yun Hai, so it was normal for him to be so vigilant.
"Kill this person, there must be no mistake!"
Old Ghost's voice rang out again, this time with more ruthlessness. If Lu Fan did not die, even he would not be able to sleep.
