The dark-faced Innate said, "Brother Lu, you've come too late. If you had come earlier, you wouldn't have been so wild in guessing."
"Brother Zhu, looks like you know something?" Lu Leexuan immediately understood the other party's meaning. The other party clearly knew who the guest was.
The black-faced Upper Sky smiled, "Not just me, most people know that you guys have come too late and have no time to ask around."
"The person who has arrived is Eldest Prince, our Lord Duke Yunlan County."
"Eldest Prince?" Lu Leexuan's face instantly changed.
The strength that Commandery Prince of Yunlan had truly grasped was not that strong. The Astral Deities Worship Stage that was loyal to the duke was not that great, and the number of Yuan Combination Stage under the duke was also limited.
As for Red Dragon Guard, most of them were people from various forces, but only a portion of them belonged to Dukes.
But even so, the power Commandery Prince of Yunlan possessed was still extremely terrifying to most of the forces in the Yunlan County.
Of the four great sects, none of them would be able to take advantage of Commandery Prince of Yunlan's faction in a one on one battle.
Furthermore, Commandery Prince of Yunlan was, on the surface, the ruler. He had an extremely orthodox position, and with Commandery Prince of Yunlan's order, many powers had to give him some face.
For example, if Commandery Prince of Yunlan wanted to make a move against Green Spirit Sect, many forces would send one or two Yuan Combination Stage s over ten people to support him.
In this way, the amount of power gathered would be terrifying.
For a top-notch power like the Chen Family, the only thing that they feared was a duke.
In the eyes of many powers, Eldest Prince had a high chance of becoming the next Duke. This also meant that Eldest Prince would very likely become the ruler of the Yunlan County in the future, no wonder the Green Spirit Sect placed such importance on him.
"So it's Eldest Prince. No wonder." Lu Leexuan had a look of realization on his face.
Lu Mannling and the others also had shocked expressions on their faces.
Eldest Prince, then he's bound to be the person with the most power in the Yunlan County in the future.
Du Yangpeng and the others felt more and more inferior. Compared to these big shots, they were so insignificant.
When they were in the small town, they were full of ambition, believing that they would be able to make a name for themselves in the future.
But now that their horizons had widened, they did not even feel that their Genuine Returning Stage was much higher than ordinary ones.
This was Innate Genuine Returning Stage that was rarely seen by ordinary people in their entire lives, but now, there was actually such a large pile of it gathered here, wasn't it?
At this time, Eldest Prince and the rest, along with Green Spirit Sect and the rest, rushed over.
Those who came from Green Spirit Sect were Green Spirit Sect Sect Leader, a Astral Deities Worship Stage Elder, and several s. They were all top ranked among the true disciples.
On the other hand, Eldest Prince's group consisted of the three Princes, Elder Yang, Chen Yi and four others who were preparing to participate in the Blue Spirit Fruit competition. Eldest Prince's four Innate followers stayed behind in Qing Ling Mountain along with many other guards and servants.
After taking their seats, Eldest Prince, Second Prince, and Jingxue sat together, Green Spirit Sect Sect Leader and Astral Deities Worship Stage Grand Elder sat together, and Sun Tie and the rest of the Acquired Stage's younger generation could only stand behind Eldest Prince.
The current scene was that of Eldest Prince, Green Spirit Sect, Wen Yin Sect, Sky Capital Sect, and Flowing Sand Pavilion, the five forces sitting on the north side of the plaza.
To the west and east were the other guests and Heavenly Pride s of Qing Ling Mountain.
On the south side was Lu Leexuan, the guests of the Green Feather Mountain. They were also the most numerous and were very close to each other. After Zhang Xiu and the other younger generation members sat on the ground, they basically filled up the entire ground.
This was the disparity in status. Even though Lu Leexuan and the other Innate Genuine Returning Stage were unhappy, they did not dare to say it out loud.
As Green Spirit Sect, Eldest Prince and the others took their seats, the place gradually quieted down.
Everyone was clear that the Blue Spirit Fruit competition was about to begin.
But...
Du Yangpeng, Du Rujiao, Lu Mannling, and the others all opened their eyes wide in shock and disbelief.
They looked at each other, shocked. The same question appeared in their eyes.
That person … It's Chen Yi?
"No …" "No way." Du Yangpeng laughed dryly.
Miao Boguang said with a stiff expression, "Isn't it just someone who looks similar?"
Du Yangpeng also quickly said: "They definitely look alike. Didn't that kid go to the Chen Family? How could he suddenly be taken under the command of someone like Eldest Prince? Is he worthy of that?"
Lu Mannling also didn't want to believe it, but an intuition told her that the young man behind Eldest Prince was most likely the Chen Yi whom he had loathed for four years!
"Ling'er, what are you all talking about?" Lu Leexuan frowned.
Lu Mannling hesitated to speak, but she didn't dare to say anything. Lu Leexuan pointed at Miao Boguang and asked, "Say, why do you look so flustered?"
Miao Boguang did not dare to hide anything, so he could only speak.
Lu Leexuan trembled with astonishment, "You said that one of the people following behind Eldest Prince is Chen Yi?"
In the next moment, Lu Leexuan's face darkened and his heart sank as well. He knew that the situation wasn't looking good.
Never in his wildest dreams would he have thought that the wild brat that his daughter talked about with such high regard for himself would actually stand behind Eldest Prince!
At this moment, what did it mean to be able to stand behind Eldest Prince?
Lu Mannling and the rest understood the meaning behind his words, and their bodies swayed uncontrollably. A ninth rank official in front of the Prime Minister's door, a minor character in front of a major character, was not to be trifled with.
If Chen Yi really hated Profound Imagery Sect, then if he said something in front of Eldest Prince, then Profound Imagery Sect …
Du Yangpeng stubbornly said, "Maybe it's really just a seventy percent image?"
When they went out of town together, the relationship between Du Family and himself was not that good. Du Yangpeng was happy that Chen Yi was doing poorly, but if Chen Yi was doing well, Du Yangpeng would feel bad.
Lu Leexuan glanced at Du Yangpeng with a cold smile, "Do you believe what you just said?"
Du Yangpeng was not Lu Mannling. After being coldly laughed at by Lu Leexuan who had attained the perfection of Genuine Returning Stage, cold sweat immediately flowed down his body. He was extremely afraid.
Lu Mannling pretended to be calm as she said, "Maybe he's just a servant that came to pour tea?"
Lu Leexuan said with a dark face, "Look at the seniors, which one of them brought a servant? There will be a servant from the Green Spirit Sect who will serve the tea. Since that fellow is able to follow Eldest Prince, he definitely has the qualifications to participate in the Green Spirit Fruit competition. He is highly regarded by Eldest Prince. "
"Hmph, everything was done by a slut like you!" Lu Leexuan glared at Du Rujiao with a sullen face.
Why did his daughter have a conflict with Chen Yi, as his father, he didn't know.
In the past, he only thought that this brat, who came from a remote town, was unworthy to be his daughter. Even if his daughter wanted to do whatever she wanted, he couldn't be bothered to do so.
But now, it was very likely that he had offended Eldest Prince because of this. Towards Du Rujiao, the 'culprit', Lu Leexuan was left with fury.
As for the real culprit, Lu Mannling, Lu Leexuan, as the father, directly ignored her. How could his daughter be at fault?
Du Rujiao's face paled and she felt wronged. She had obviously been forced to do this, but now …
"Father …" Lu Mannling glared at Lu Leexuan in dissatisfaction. Lu Leexuan's face darkened in anger.
Zhang Xiu said from the side, "Why should Master be worried? Although I don't know why that Chen Yi chose Eldest Prince, with Eldest Prince's status, who knows how many Heavenly Pride s he has under his command, there isn't a need to worry about him."
"Even though I have the qualifications to participate in the Blue Spirit Fruit Great Games, I am not necessarily strong."
In the Cyan Spirit Fruit Competition, there were Large Circulation s, Quasi-innate s, these who were eyeing the cyan Spirit Fruit covetously, but there were also many who were just here to try and broaden their horizons.
In Zhang Xiu's opinion, Chen Yi was probably the latter.
Lu Leexuan nodded: "I can only hope so."
Normally, Heavenly Pride could only make fun of Eldest Prince during the Cyan Spirit Fruit Conference. Eldest Prince's position was normal, so he probably wouldn't be carelessly tricked into becoming an enemy of Profound Imagery Sect.
Compared to the strength that Eldest Prince had grasped, Profound Imagery Sect was indeed nothing, but to make things difficult for a mere Acquired Stage follower, was not worth it.
However, if it was a top Heavenly Pride, it would be hard to say.
Lu Leexuan's mood was heavy.
He still wanted to ask Brother Zhu for more information. Since Brother Zhu came so early, perhaps he had some knowledge about the four Heavenly Pride s behind Eldest Prince?
However, when Lu Leexuan turned his head to ask, Brother Zhu didn't care about Lu Leexuan anymore. No matter how Lu Leexuan asked, he didn't say a word.
Lu Leexuan's expression was ugly. He knew that the other party was avoiding suspicion because they were worried that they would be implicated.
Innate Zhu's gaze did not even land on Lu Leexuan as he cursed in his heart: "This Lu fella actually offended Eldest Prince. Luckily, my relationship with him is not that deep, seems like he will need a lot more Profound Imagery Sect from now on."
"This Lu surnamed has given birth to a swindler's daughter." The surnamed Zhu was extremely speechless.
On the north side of the Green Spirit Plaza, behind Eldest Prince, Chen Yi was keenly aware of a few pairs of eyes following them and noticed Lu Mannling and her men.
Chen Yi gave a playful smile and gave Lu Mannling and the others a look of disdain. Lu Mannling was so angry that her face instantly contorted.
Zhang Xiu's face sank as he consoled his Junior Sister, "Junior Sister, don't worry. Wait for that brat to come on stage and help me vent some of my anger."
"Wait until this kid loses face in front of everyone, he will definitely be abandoned by Eldest Prince, and will also be spared a disaster for our Profound Imagery Sect."
Lu Mannling said bitterly, "Martial Brother, I'm counting on you!"
Chen Yi didn't pay any more attention to Lu Mannling and the others. After four years, as his strength increased, Chen Yi had long since given up on Lu Mannling and the others.
It was one thing if he didn't provoke him, but if he provoked him, he would let Lu Mannling and the others know why the flowers were so red, and he wouldn't show mercy!
After the audience quieted down, Green Spirit Sect Sect Leader stood up and said a few pleasantries, in general, to welcome everyone and so on.
After that, Green Spirit Sect Sect Leader invited Taoist Scholar Qiyuan and introduced him to everyone. Actually, everyone knew Taoist Scholar Qiyuan's name, but they still clapped for him.
Taoist Scholar Qiyuan smiled slightly: "I am indebted to the Green Spirit Wu Steel's importance. This year's Green Spirit Fruit Competition will be watched by this old one as a witness, and I will also take the opportunity to host this year's Green Spirit Fruit Competition."
"Now, this old man declares that the Blue Spirit Fruit Competition has officially begun!"
"As for the rules, it's the same as before. Who wants to be the first one to go on stage?"
