Chapter 160 - Crown Prince?

The Green Wood Pavilion was indeed well-known in Green Wood City, and it was even famous among the n.o.ble families. Aside from that, the owner of the Green Wood Pavilion was also a very mysterious person with unfathomable strength, and because of the owner"s great reputation, no one dared to cause trouble in this establishment.

Under the glaring heat of the sun, two individuals can be seen walking conspicuously along the road. They were a pair of a man and woman, and both of them were endowed with attractive looks, causing surprised exclamations from the people that saw them. Of course, they are none other than Xia Xinyue and Jiu Shen.

Xia Xinyue was a beautiful woman with long black hair that cascaded down to her hips. With her mature air and curvy figure, she managed to capture the crowd"s attention as she led Jiu Shen to the Green Wood Pavilion. Xia Xinyue"s seductively swaying hips and demure appearance blended perfectly to create an enchanting image that captivated the eyes of the onlooking men.

On the other hand, Jiu Shen who was wearing an embroidered white robes trailed behind Xia Xinyue with an indifferent and cold expression on his face. He occasionally glanced at the crowd with a calm look and those women, young or old that caught a glimpse of his peerless visage felt their hearts leaping out of their chests in infatuation, and even the young misses of the n.o.ble families that acted cold and icy displayed mesmerized looks as they gazed at Jiu Shen"s striking figure.

"What a perfect couple! They look like immortals with their graceful bearing and attractive looks!"

"Look at that man, he"s so handsome! I want to make babies with him! Ah~"

"What a pity! If only that man smiles at me, how beautiful would it be?"

Jiu Shen and Xia Xinyue ignored the murmuring crowd, but the latter could not help but blush at the attention they were getting. Xia Xinyue always stayed inside the ice castle of the Ice Cloud Sword Sect almost everyday and she rarely comes out, so she wasn"t used to this kind of feeling. On the other hand, Jiu Shen remained unperturbed since he was already used to this kind of scene even in his past life.

Seeing the enchanted looks of the women around them, Xia Xinyue could not help but sigh in her heart. Jiu Shen was just too handsome that even some of the married n.o.blewomen were throwing flirtatious glances at him. She couldn"t really blame them since Jiu Shen was really too attractive that even she found it too difficult to calm her maiden heart every time she looked at his face. Even then, Xia Xinyue knew that she didn"t deserve to be Jiu Shen"s woman, but it was alright as long as she could see him every day. Thinking about that, her face burned in embarra.s.sment as she hurriedly discarded those thoughts.

After walking unhurriedly for a little more than ten minutes, the pair arrived in front of a ten-story building with cla.s.sical architecture and design. The entrance of the building was heavily guarded by more than ten warriors, with each of them dressed in extravagant-looking knight armor. They looked rather imposing and fearsome, and their cultivation level at the 5th-rank Spirit realm deterred those with malicious intentions.

A constant stream of people came in and out of the building, signifying its well-deserved reputation.

Seeing this, Xia Xinyue nodded her head in satisfaction before she turned to look at Jiu Shen with a gentle smile. "Lord Sect Master, we"ve arrived in Green Wood Pavilion."

"Not bad. Let"s go." Jiu Shen said perfunctorily as he walked towards the entrance of the building with a calm look.

Xia Xinyue smiled as she looked at his back figure before following behind him obediently.

Looking at Jiu Shen and Xia Xinyue who were walking towards them, the ten or so warriors guarding the entrance of the building could not help but feel astonished in their hearts, but they hurriedly concealed their shock.

Just as the two were about to go inside the building, a gentle voice filled with confidence and respect suddenly echoed behind them. "This young lady, would you be kind enough to allow this young master to have the opportunity to see your beautiful face?"

Jiu Shen stopped in his tracks and looked at the newcomer with interest, while Xia Xinyue furrowed her eyebrows before turning her head to glance at that person with a cold look.

He was a young man in his early twenties, and he looked quite handsome and elegant with his stylish blue robes. There was also a short sword hanging on his left hip, giving him a more appealing vibe. His short black hair was messy, but this gave him a wild kind of appeal.

After seeing Xia Xinyue"s pretty face, this young man suddenly revealed a flabbergasted look, but it instantly bloomed into a charismatic smile. He then stepped forward and cupped his fists respectfully at Xia Xinyue as he spoke. "Greetings, young lady. This one"s name is Reinhardt Silveria. My apologies for suddenly interrupting you. I just couldn"t help but call out for young lady when I saw your graceful silhouette."

After hearing his respectful and kind words, Xia Xinyue"s face eased up, but when she heard the man"s name, she couldn"t help but ponder in her heart. "The only ones with the surname Silveria in Silver Wing Empire is the imperial family. Is he perhaps someone from the Silveria Imperial Family?"

Looking at Xia Xinyue"s pondering expression, the smile on Reinhardt"s face became even more vibrant. "Young lady, this is not a good place to talk. How about we come inside first?" He asked as he stared at her with a charming smile.

Xia Xinyue was stunned at Reinhardt"s bluntness, but she could not find any reason to refuse him since he didn"t look like someone who harbored malicious intentions. However, Jiu Shen was right behind her and it wouldn"t be appropriate to go with another man no matter how friendly he was, so with an apologetic look, Xia Xinyue shook her head lightly. "I"m sorry Prince Reinhardt, but I am accompanying his Lords.h.i.+p Jiu Shen today."

When Reinhardt heard Xia Xinyue refer to him as "prince", he was a bit surprised since the latter might have already realized his ident.i.ty. He then took a glance at the man behind her that he chose to ignore earlier, and when Reinhardt saw the man"s face, he gasped in shock and gave Jiu Shen a meaningful smile before he turned his attention back to Xia Xinyue. "It appears that young miss has already guessed who I am, but I on the other hand don"t even know young miss" name." He said while flas.h.i.+ng a dejected smile.

Xia Xinyue still didn"t know Reinhardt"s true intentions, but upon seeing his expression, she sighed and said. "Your highness, you can call me Xia Xinyue."

Reinhardt"s broken smile suddenly blossomed when he heard her reply. "Oh, so it"s Young Miss Xia! Since Young Miss Xia is busy right now, I won"t take much of your time. I"ll come back another day to look for you. Farewell."

After cupping his fists at Xia Xinyue, Reinhardt glanced at Jiu Shen with an imperceptible compet.i.tive look before he elegantly turned around and left the scene.

Xia Xinyue frowned as she looked at his receding figure. She was certain that Reinhardt was one of the empire"s princes, and after interacting with him, he should be the famously known romantic crown prince of the Silver Wing Empire.

Jiu Shen who was silent throughout the whole scene suddenly called out. "Elder Xia, do you who know that person is?"

Xia Xinyue glanced at Jiu Shen and nodded her head. "Lord Sect Master, that man seems to be the crown prince of Silver Wing Empire. And if he is indeed the crown prince, then the rumors about him should be true..."

Jiu Shen"s expression didn"t change, but he felt a bit curious since he felt that the cultivation level of Reinhardt was at the early stage of the 7th-rank Emperor realm. Just that, Reinhardt had a treasure that concealed his strength and everyone else could only see that he was a 5th-rank Spirit realm cultivator. As for why he was hiding his strength, no one knows.

Among Emperor Elyk"s children, the crown prince was the oldest, but everyone thought that he was merely an affectionate man with little strength. And Jiu Shen who was running a wine store in the capital has already heard so many rumors about this romantic crown prince. However, it seemed like everyone else was wrong about him. How could a 7th-rank Emperor realm cultivator be an ordinary man?

"Crown Prince Reinhardt... It looks like all of Elyk"s children can be considered as peak geniuses in this world. A tiger would never have a dog of a child..." Jiu Shen muttered to himself.

The situation in the Silver Wing Empire was already becoming more complicated with all the hidden characters suddenly showing up. If only the Silver Wing Empire didn"t have an internal conflict, it could have been one of the most peak existences feared in the Profound Dragon Continent.
