“The Silent Willow Valley presents their gift to the Second Prince!”The youth in front of Li Shen shouted rather loudly before he threw down a saber on top of the pile of gifts.This saber’s sheath was damaged, and from the lackluster blade sticking out of it, it looked nothing more than scrap metal.Li Shen at all of the junk at his feet that was supposed to be gifts.“The Four Seasons Academy presents a gift to the Second Prince!”Another youth approached Li Shen and if looks could kill the glare he was giving him would have killed him a thousand times over.The youth held a box and was about to through it on top of the pile, but he suddenly paused.Li Shen was then dumbfounded when this youth took a medicinal herb out of the box that he immediately recognized it as a Fire Lily herb used to heal burns, but it was merely a Low Tier medicinal herb.After taking out the well-intact herb, the youth then threw it on the ground before stomping on it a few times.Li Shen’s eyes twitched a

*Ding**Ding*Crystal clear rings of a class could be heard echoing out in the hall that suddenly went silent.All attention was turned to the Emperor’s third Concubine, Li Sua.Her face which was usually stuck on a stern expression was now all smiles. Seeing the attention on her she cheerfully said.“Family and guests, I want to announce the betrothed of my daughter Li Ling to the first son of the Tang Noble Family, Tang Long.”Li Shen wasn’t hiding his discontent and was seen with a deep frown on his face.Li Ling was seated next to her mother and she was looking up at her mortified by her words.“Mother you-”Li Ling was cut off by her mother who turned to Li Shu, her husband, and said.“The preparations have already been made, but we only need your blessing his Majesty.”She bowed respectfully as she said that.Li Shen turned to his father and his frown deepen.‘You know about this?’‘…’‘Father I can feel the connection and that you haven’t left. Answer me, you knew that woman wa

“Master!”Lady Ying seeing this person yelled in surprise.Li Shen observe this old woman he had recognized as the one who was responsible for delivering him. But until now this is the first time he saw her since then.“Academy Leader!”Li Xue, Li Shen's uncle yelled as well.‘Huh? Academy Leader?'Li Shen was taken aback by that.'She’s the former Academy Leader of the Divine Star Academy?’The former Academy Leader looked to be in her sixties and she wore simple light blue robes. Her head was filled with gray hair and despite looking like an old woman if one had sharp senses they would realize she looked... absolutely ordinary.She seemed to have no power whatsoever, even looking like a normal mortal. However, her hand on Ghuanyu’s blade said otherwise.Seeing the appearance of this old woman Ghuanyu’s eyes flickered with surprise.“Are you done scouting our strength?”Her voice softly echoed out into Ghanyu's ears and he frowned.Li Shen heard it as well as most others and he thoug

“Little cousin, you little brat! How come you didn’t tell anyone you were so powerful?! Were you hiding it all this time?”Li Sun lifted Li Shen off the ground in a bear hug.While grinning, Li Sun squeezed Li Shen some more before placing him down.Not minding the awkward smile on Li Shen’s face he grabbed his cheeks and began pulling them while saying with a reminiscent and melancholic expression.“My cute baby cousin is no more, now in his place is this handsome guy I can’t recognize.”“Cousin Sun please, not in public.”Li Shen saw everyone around him looking at them and he became embarrassed.As if he had been pierced by a sword Li Sun clutched his chest and his legs wobble a bit.“And you’re even treating me differently. When you were younger you would always come wanting me to carry you on my back, but how times have changed.”Li Shen watched his cousin’s dramatic performance and sighed in his heart.Li Sun had that type of jolly personality and he wasn’t afraid of showing affe

Lu Yue had seen him reveal his physical prowess previously and even going toe to toe with Mid Foundation Realm experts.But she was different. She wasn’t just an ordinary Mid Foundation Realm expert that had formed her fifth Divine Platform. Her power at this moment could even rival someone who had formed their eighth, allowing her to battle someone in the Late Foundation Realm.But Li Shen casually flick almost knocked her sword out of her hand, which meant its raw force was as strong as a blow from someone in the Late Foundation Realm at the very least.It wasn’t like there weren’t Fleshly Body cultivators at that level in their generation, but until now Li Shen was known as a useless prince. To see him with such power was subverting the weak impression she had of him previously.She had intended to overpower him and make him agree to this marriage alliance but now she realized it wasn’t so easy.But she wasn’t going to give up, she had to force this prince into submission.It wasn’
