117: Could it be dementia?

“This…”

After being criticized by Zhuge Zhengwo, Yang Siyi finally came to his senses, his face filled with regret.

“Thank you, Junior Brother Lü, for speaking up for justice. Otherwise, we would have been humiliated.”

Noticing Zhuge Zhengwo’s disappointed expression, Xun Ya also felt a sense of loss, but after readjusting his mindset, he thanked Lü Yongyuan, who was standing nearby.

This was also why Zhuge Zhengwo valued Xun Ya: he was upright and incorruptible, yet humble.

Although he had some flaws in certain aspects, the good outweighed the bad. Zhuge Zhengwo felt that with a bit more polishing, he could become a true gem.

“It’s nothing. This is a matter of our Xuanjian Sect. As disciples of the Xuanjian Sect, we should work together with one heart.”

Without arrogance, Lü Yongyuan usually kept a low profile, only showing his capabilities at critical moments, displaying the demeanor of a true master… “Damn it!”

“Who is that Xuanjian Sect disciple? Does he really think he’s a savior? When we get to the Juefeng Secret Realm, I’ll make him regret it!”

After walking a good distance, amidst the pointing and whispering of the crowd, Hua Yi finally growled unwillingly.

After moving away from the Xuanjian Sect’s inn, he became even more hysterical.

“First Prince, there’s no need to be angry. It’s just a little bit of trouble. The one who laughs last is the winner. The Tenth Prince can’t possibly defeat you.”

Following Hua Yi, General Chang Yu, aware of the prince’s anger, began to advise him, seemingly to extinguish the flames.

However, it had no effect; instead, it made Hua Yi’s expression even uglier.

“If you can’t speak properly, don’t force it. No one thinks you’re mute!”

Hua Yi coldly retorted, not expecting to have his wounds reopened by his own people.

But thinking that Chang Yu was just a general skilled in battle, he didn't get angry again, and then walked alone, deep in thought, through Zi Yuan City.

“First Prince, did we forget to do something important?”

“Weren’t we going to find trouble with Xu Xi? But we didn’t even see him…”

Hua Yi wanted some peace and quiet, but Chang Yu kept bringing up sensitive topics. Out of his own concern, he gently reminded Hua Yi.

“…”

“I told you to shut up!”

A sense of helplessness flashed through Hua Yi’s mind. He didn’t expect this big oaf to be so clueless.

Do you think I don’t want to get things done?

But among that group of people, could you see Xu Xi?

That guy was clearly not there!

“Sigh~”

“First Prince, look, isn’t that person Xu Xi?”

Not noticing Hua Yi’s various unusual expressions, Chang Yu continued to look around, surveying the environment.

And with that look, he actually saw something.

One could only say that simpletons have simpleton’s luck.

“Hmm? It really is…”

Suddenly looking up, after hearing Chang Yu’s words, Hua Yi regained his spirits.

As the saying goes, when mountains and rivers seem to block the way, and you suspect there’s no road, suddenly, willows darken and flowers bloom in another village!

Following Chang Yu’s gaze, Hua Yi indeed found Xu Xi, who was looking leisurely, with a beautiful woman on each arm.

“He deserves it!?”

His own frustration contrasted sharply with Xu Xi’s ease. Hua Yi couldn’t accept such a disparity, and then, with an angry expression, he went to find trouble.

“First Prince! No!”

Seeing Hua Yi act so impetuously, it was Chang Yu’s turn to be unsettled.

No, didn’t you see the Purple Cloud Sect disciples so clearly?

Li Ning霜!

Did you really forget all the intelligence gathered before departure?

However, Chang Yu’s words now had no effect on Hua Yi, because at this moment, Hua Yi was already fuming!

Impulse is the devil; the current Hua Yi was possessed by the devil.

It’s just that the devil’s end wouldn’t be too good.

“Xu Xi!”

A loud shout, its ear-splitting decibel piercing the sky, startled Xu Xi out of his lazy state. Someone was coming to cause trouble?

This was the first thought that popped into his mind, as Xu Xi had indeed provoked quite a few people recently, and Hua Yi’s tone was also very obvious.

“Cough, cough, why are you calling your father? No need to be so loud. Although I’m getting on in years, I’m not deaf yet.”

A feigned old voice came out, full of sarcasm. Xu Xi had truly grasped Hua Yi’s mindset.

Turning around, Xu Xi couldn’t help but be stunned when he saw Hua Yi rushing towards him with a fierce demeanor.

No, who are you?

Do we have a grudge from a previous encounter? I don’t even know you! Can he really pull a stunt like this?

Only these thoughts filled his mind. Xu Xi racked his brain but couldn’t figure out when he had provoked such an idiot.

“How bold!”

“I just wonder if you’ll be able to maintain this in the Juefeng Secret Realm. Just wait and see!”

Coming before Xu Xi, and being humiliated by him, Hua Yi proudly raised his head, as if he had won a battle.

Hua Yi intended to regain all the face he had lost earlier with Zhuge Zhengwo by taking it from Xu Xi, and repay it with interest.

“?”

“No, buddy, who are you? Do I know you?”

Still utterly confused, Xu Xi looked at the big idiot in front of him, who was full of anger and a hint of self-satisfaction, and couldn’t help but worry if the other party’s brain was broken.

This is a sickness that needs to be cured!

This time, he even spoke loudly and directly. Xu Xi wasn’t going to waste time on such matters. His darlings Xue Qing and Li Ning霜 were waiting for his affection.

“?”

“I’m dressed so obviously? Can’t you tell?”

“These are clothes that only imperial princes can wear! How many dynasties are there on the Profound Origin Continent in total?”

Hua Yi roared internally, unwilling to accept that Xu Xi would pretend to be ignorant. With his obvious attire, any clear-headed person would recognize it.

Moreover, don’t you collect intelligence?

The Juefeng Secret Realm is about to open, brother. My Ying Province’s overall strength is even above your You Province. Are you really going to show no respect?

“Hmph!”

“Pretending not to know?”

“Since you asked so sincerely, then I shall mercifully tell you…”

“I, Hua Yi, the First Prince of the Hua Sheng Dynasty of Ying Province!”

Stepping closer to Xu Xi, even though he felt Xu Xi was faking not knowing him, Hua Yi directly laid out his identity.

Standing still, quietly awaiting Xu Xi’s exclamations, Hua Yi enjoyed this process. He was finally going to reclaim some dignity.

“?”

“This person… he’s not crazy, is he? Driven to idiocy by his brother’s retaliation? That shouldn’t be. Royal disciples should have strong mental resilience…”

Without showing the expression Hua Yi expected, Xu Xi, upon hearing Hua Yi reveal his identity, immediately plunged Hua Yi’s mood to rock bottom. This was even more offensive than what Lü Yongyuan had said before.

He simply didn’t treat Hua Yi as a person.

“You…”

He had closed his eyes, expecting to feel Xu Xi’s reverence, but was instead mocked. Hua Yi truly couldn’t endure it.

And at this moment, Hua Yi completely lost his composure.

“I want you dead!”

“Chang Yu, what are you standing there for? Attack him!”
