Chapter 20 Farewell to the Third Prince

"The lord of the city has arrived!"

Outside the Cheng family mansion, a voice came from behind the crowd, causing the people to involuntarily make way for him.

Soon after, Chen Zhanjian, accompanied by soldiers, hurried over. Behind him were three young men and women, two of whom were Chen Shuli and Chen Miaoyin.

The other young man was Chen Zhanjian's eldest son, Chen Xing. Although he was average-looking, he had a tall and sturdy figure, and a hint of arrogance was hard to conceal in his demeanor.

"Hmm, the Cheng family has finally met its match!"

Chen Xing couldn't help but gloat as he looked at the fleeing members of the Cheng family. As soon as they saw Chen Zhanjian, the Cheng family members quickly lowered their heads and disappeared into the crowd.

The grudges and entanglements between the Cheng family and the lord of the city, the Chen family, were well known in Qingtan City.

They didn't believe that Chen Zhanjian would lend a helping hand; he would definitely kick them while they were down and take advantage of their misfortune!

"They are really powerful," Chen Miaoyin sighed. She was naturally referring to Qin Jun and the others.

They had only been in Qingtan City for a day, and they had already eradicated the tyrannical Cheng family within the city. Was this the power of the strong?

Especially when she thought of Daji's stunning beauty, her desire to become stronger and seek immortality grew even stronger.

"Yes, it seems that the kingdom is about to change," Chen Shuli nodded and sighed.

In the entire Qianyue Kingdom, there were definitely not more than three people who could easily defeat Xiahou En. Now, there was another Daji.

With Daji by his side, Qin Jun could definitely compete with the fifth prince, Qin Yu, who was currently thriving in the capital.

Moreover, the conversation with Qin Jun last night had made Chen Shuli admire Qin Jun's profound knowledge. In his opinion, Qin Jun was fit to be an emperor!

If Qin Jun knew of Chen Shuli's evaluation of him, he would definitely be amused. After all, Qin Jun was just a college graduate from Earth. If he had transmigrated during his senior year of high school, his knowledge would be even more profound!

Languages, mathematics, foreign languages, chemistry, physics, biology, history, politics, and so on, he had knowledge in all of these areas!

Ahem!

However, if the Qin Jun from high school had transmigrated, he probably wouldn't have been able to fool Chen Shuli, because at that time, he lacked social experience and his ability to handle things was too weak. His confidence was not as thick as it is now.

Just as the three siblings were sighing, Qin Jun and his group walked out. All the eyes of the people on the street were focused on them.

"We pay our respects to the third prince!"

Chen Shuli suddenly knelt down and paid his respects. The people were stunned. The third prince?

At this moment, Chen Zhanjian also knelt down and loudly shouted, "This official pays his respects to the third prince and congratulates the third prince for eliminating the source of trouble, the Cheng family, in Qingtan City!"

Boom!

He really is a prince!

The people quickly followed suit and knelt down. In the Qianyue Kingdom, the princes were high above, and the common people had to kneel when they saw them, or they would face punishment.

Chen Miaoyin quickly pulled Chen Xing to kneel down as well.

Seeing hundreds of people kneeling before him, Qin Jun felt a sense of accomplishment!

Chang Qianqian and Chang Hao looked at Qin Jun in shock. Qin Jun hadn't revealed his identity during his conversation with Chen Shuli last night, and he hadn't mentioned it during their time together, so they had been guessing all along.

They didn't expect him to be the current third prince!

"The third prince is not a waste..." Chang Qianqian couldn't help but ask Chang Hao, but before she could finish her sentence, she covered her mouth.

She couldn't say such things in front of the person himself.

Qin Jun ignored them and smiled at Chen Zhanjian and Chen Shuli. "You came just in time. The Cheng family has been eliminated by my men."

He was good at saying the right things. After all, the system had said that the Cheng family had a bad reputation in Qingtan City, so he portrayed himself as a righteous figure.

"The Cheng family has committed numerous atrocities and deserves to be exterminated!" Chen Zhanjian shouted loudly. Then, Chen Shuli, who was beside him, took out a bamboo slip and began to recite, "In March of this year, Cheng Jie, the eldest son of the Cheng family, took a liking to a common girl. When her parents opposed, he ordered his servants to beat her parents to death..."

"In January of this year, the Cheng family launched a night attack on the Li family to seize their mine, resulting in the massacre of the entire Li family..."

"December of last year..."

"August of last year..."

All the people listened in silence to Chen Shuli's recitation of the crimes. Anger filled the eyes of every person, even Chang Hao and Chang Qianqian fell silent.

Qin Jun was amazed. Chen Shuli was only mentioning major events that could implicate entire families. There were probably many more deaths that hadn't been mentioned.

At this moment, he felt no guilt in his heart; instead, he felt a bit annoyed.

He shouldn't have been soft-hearted. He shouldn't have let any member of this corrupt family escape!

Boom!

At that moment, a terrifying explosion suddenly resounded behind Qin Jun. A powerful shockwave stirred up a fierce wind, causing his clothes to flutter, and the people were knocked to the ground.

Qin Jun instinctively turned around and saw a massive mushroom cloud rising from the Cheng family mansion. Dust swirled in the air like a dragon, and wood chips and pillars flew through the air, creating a spectacular scene as if the mansion had been bombed by countless explosives.

The destruction of the grand Cheng family mansion in an instant deeply shocked the people, and even Chen Zhanjian and the others were taken aback.

"Look! A deity has descended to earth!"

A bystander suddenly shouted, and everyone looked up to see Daji, with the backdrop of the swirling dust, descending like a celestial maiden, with the Xiong Tian dog following behind her in the void. The scene was beautiful, and even Qin Jun found it breathtaking.

Daji's appearance and attire truly resembled that of a celestial maiden!

"That black dog..." Chen Shuli looked at the Xiong Tian dog and couldn't help but shiver. A flying dog was definitely not ordinary.

It seemed that he had underestimated Qin Jun.

Amid the shocked expressions of hundreds of people, Daji and Xiong Tianquan landed next to Lord Qin. Daji smiled coquettishly and said, "My lord, I have destroyed the Cheng family mansion."

"Ding! Completed the side quest 'Destroying the Cheng Family'! Obtained 2000 experience points and a chance for skill inheritance!"

Finally, it's done!

Lord Qin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Although he didn't level up, he at least gained a chance for skill inheritance, which would give him combat abilities in the future.

With that in mind, Lord Qin smiled at Chen Zhanjian and said, "Alright, I'll leave the aftermath to you, the lord of the city. I need to hit the road and won't delay any longer!"

After speaking, he signaled to Daji and the others, and the group headed towards the city gate. As they passed, the people respectfully made way for them.

Watching their departing figures, Chen Zhanjian couldn't help but sigh, "This Third Prince is not as useless as the rumors say. It seems that the waters in the palace are deeper than we thought..."

"He will win!" Chen Shuli said confidently, pausing for a moment before smiling and adding, "Because I'm with him!"

Although he didn't elaborate, Chen Zhanjian understood his meaning.

Chen Xing couldn't help but scratch his head and ask, "Win what? This Third Prince is very strong. Although I have reached the seventh level of Qi Refinement, I don't feel like I'm his match."

Chen Zhanjian rolled his eyes. Despite his eldest son's good talent in Qi Refinement, he lacked intelligence.

"Farewell to the Third Prince, and thank you for ridding the people of harm!" Suddenly, a burly man among the crowd shouted loudly, his voice filled with grief and indignation, clearly having been targeted by the Cheng family in the past.

This statement instantly stirred the emotions of the other people, who began to cheer loudly for Lord Qin, with some even bursting into tears.
