481: Cheng Shifei? Just a brain-dead idiot.

"Sister Cui Ling, we have a visitor, but judging by their demeanor, they mean trouble."

"Hmm? Who dares to come here looking for trouble?" Cui Ling frowned.

"A fellow who looks like a ruffian, says he's one of the four great secret agents."

"four great secret agents? Alright, I'll go report this to His Highness." Cui Ling frowned.

Since the other party claimed to be from the four great secret agents, that meant they represented the Great Ming imperial family. This wasn't something she could decide on her own.

Cui Ling got up and left, while Jiang Yuyan's pretty face turned icy.

Someone actually dared to come here looking for trouble? They were truly seeking death.

It was just a pity her current strength wasn't sufficient. Although she had been diligently cultivating, she was only at the Acquired Realm.

She wasn't even at the Innate Realm yet. To be honest, she couldn't even defeat Cui Ling.

Hearing Cui Ling's report, Duan Zhengchun understood the situation the moment his thoughts turned to it.

"Heh, Cheng Shifei, is it? Truly a newborn calf unafraid of the tiger."

"It really is a case of succeeding because of Gu Santong and failing because of Gu Santong. Do you truly think that obtaining Gu Santong's Legacy makes you so arrogant you can look down on everyone? And you dare to cause trouble here, in my presence?"

"If something is delivered right to your doorstep, it'd be a waste not to take it." A cold smile appeared at the corner of Duan Zhengchun's mouth.

Cheng Shifei had delivered himself to their doorstep. He couldn't blame anyone else.

"What's wrong? Does Your Highness know who the visitor is?" Moon Invitation, leaning against Duan Zhengchun, asked curiously.

"I do. Just a little punk who, by a stroke of luck, obtained the complete Legacy of his old man and now thinks he's invincible under heaven."

"Regarding the incident outside the city, even Six Doors and Zhu Wushi don't dare to investigate. Yet this kid is really stubborn, truly doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth."

"With Zhu Wushi's brain, he must know this matter is related to me. Even if it's just speculation, he wouldn't dare to court misfortune."

"This kid, as the Yellow Agent of the four great secret agents, plus suddenly obtaining the Legacy of a Great Grandmaster, his confidence has inflated. Add to that the backing of the Imperial Court, and he thinks no one dares to provoke him, that there's no one he can't provoke."

"And so, he stubbornly comes alone to cause trouble for me."

"Perfect. I can see you're still a bit worried about Lian Xing. Today, I'll give your sister a great Opportunity." As Duan Zhengchun spoke, he got up and left.

Moon Invitation's eyes lit up, and she quickly followed.

Although she wasn't worried about anything happening to Yihua Palace, Lian Xing had to start from scratch after willingly discarding her martial arts to Cultivate Flower Transplanting. That required time, and the fastest method was to absorb others' Internal Energy to improve.

When Duan Zhengchun said he'd give her sister a great Opportunity, he must be planning to use this Cheng Shifei's Great Grandmaster-level Internal Energy to help her sister increase her strength.

At this moment, Moon Invitation felt a fire in her heart. If her body allowed, she would definitely reward Duan Zhengchun properly as a token of appreciation.

Huang Rong also followed them to the front hall.

After arriving at the estate, Cheng Shifei looked at the magnificent manor with envy. When would he ever get to live in such a place?

Even if Duan Zhengchun is King Kaoshan, so what? He's in the Great Ming now, so he must abide by Great Ming's rules and laws.

Daring to kill over a hundred people in one go? Even if you are King Kaoshan, so what? Today, I, your lord, am here to demand an explanation from you. I want to see what you have to say.

After waiting a while, he saw Duan Zhengchun walk out with Moon Invitation and Huang Rong.

The moment he saw Moon Invitation and Huang Rong, Cheng Shifei's eyes immediately lit up.

"So beautiful..."

Cheng Shifei was directly stunned. He never imagined there could be such peerlessly beautiful women in the world.

Moon Invitation hated men the most—of course, Duan Zhengchun was the exception.

Seeing a ruffian-like young punk like Cheng Shifei staring at her dumbfounded instantly put her in a bad mood.

"Hmph..."

Moon Invitation let out a cold snort. Instantly, Cheng Shifei's face changed, and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

A look of shock and fear appeared in his eyes, and he didn't dare to stare at Moon Invitation anymore.

He never expected this peerless beauty with an aloof aura to be so powerful. Just her pressure alone had injured him.

The corner of Duan Zhengchun's mouth lifted slightly. He naturally understood Moon Invitation's temperament. In the present world, she only accepted him, Duan Zhengchun, as a man. If anyone else dared to offend her, she would absolutely show no mercy.

"Who are you, Your Excellency? What business brings you to me?" Duan Zhengchun looked at Cheng Shifei with a calm expression.

Having regained his senses, Cheng Shifei looked at Duan Zhengchun, a trace of resentment flashing deep in his eyes.

"Are you Prince Kaoshan of Dali?" Cheng Shifei stared at Duan Zhengchun with an unpleasant expression.

"How dare you! You dare to disrespect His Highness?" Moon Invitation snorted coldly, instantly releasing the pressure of the Heavenly Human Realm Middle Stage.

Instantly, Cheng Shifei was directly pressed to his knees by this pressure, spitting out another mouthful of blood.

"Not kneeling upon seeing His Highness is one thing, but you dare to be this disrespectful? You're seeking death." Moon Invitation said coldly.

"You dare kill me? I'm one of the four great secret agents of the Great Ming! If you dare kill me, the Imperial Court will never let you go!" Cheng Shifei, his face pale, glared angrily at Moon Invitation.

Seeing Cheng Shifei like this, Duan Zhengchun's expression turned peculiar.

In the original story, this guy wasn't this brainless, this arrogant and ignorant, was he?

Could it be that in this comprehensive martial arts world, the original plot has changed? Or perhaps, his own arrival had subtly altered some things.

Was this the so-called Butterfly Effect?

However, thinking about it, it made sense. Cheng Shifei, who was usually just a street urchin, suddenly obtained such immense power and gained the Imperial Court as a backing. His confidence inflated, and he became arrogant and looked down on everyone.

But even after learning his identity, this guy still dared to come here and question him so arrogantly? This guy really had guts.

Or perhaps, he was just an idiot?

"Heh, truly an idiot, daring to say such things here."

"Let me tell you this: even if the Ming Emperor were here, he wouldn't dare speak to our Prince like that."

"You, a mere secret agent, dare to spout such nonsense here." Huang Rong looked at Cheng Shifei with a mocking expression.

"Arrogant! A mere Prince Kaoshan of Dali dares to act so presumptuously in our Great Ming!"

"You killed so many people. That's a crime! You must be punished according to Great Ming law!" Cheng Shifei glared at Duan Zhengchun, emotionally agitated.

"Heh... Cheng Shifei, you really made me laugh with your stupidity."

"But it's normal for you to think this way. After all, you were just an idle street ruffian before. Suddenly gaining such immense power, being recruited by Dragon Guard Manor, and having the Imperial Court as your backing..."

"It's normal for your confidence to inflate, for you to become arrogant and look down on everyone. Understandable."

"However, arrogance and ignorance come with a price. I wonder if you'll still look down on everyone when you lose this power and your Imperial Court backing."

After Duan Zhengchun finished speaking, his figure instantly vanished. A few seconds later, he reappeared. This time, there was an additional peerlessly beautiful woman in white palace attire beside him.

At this moment, this beautiful woman was looking dazedly at everything happening before her.

When she saw Moon Invitation, her face immediately lit up with joy.

"Sister, you... what's going on?"

The newcomer was none other than Lian Xing, the current Palace Master and the one in charge of Yihua Palace.
