Chapter 57: My Name is Everywhere in the Jianghu

"Daji saved you in a time of danger, a woman like her is someone you should take in," Emperor Qian nodded, his face filled with admiration.

A woman who could easily defeat Xiahou En must be incredibly strong, and she must also be extremely proud. To be able to win over the Qin Emperor, his skills in courting women are not simple. After all, the current Qin Emperor is only sixteen years old.

I really am getting old!

Emperor Qian sighed in his heart, while Jia Xun and other ministers looked at each other, all having a sudden realization that the Third Prince was about to rise to power!

After entering the imperial garden, Emperor Qian let Qin Jun roam freely while he had to deal with various matters. Today's negotiations involved too many interests, so he had to summarize and plan. Accompanying him were officials of the second rank or higher, such as Jia Xun.

"Third Prince, what we have seen and heard today has truly broadened our horizons," Zhu Yishi said with a smile on his face, as if the killing of Xiao Beilong had nothing to do with him. The depth of his scheming made Qin Jun couldn't help but sigh at how extraordinary a crown prince could be.

"Prince Canglan is also an extraordinary person. I just wonder how you will explain this to your father when you return?" Qin Jun asked with feigned curiosity.

This one sentence made Zhu Yishi's smile freeze, and he cursed inwardly.

"Third Prince, you are truly eloquent and don't give anyone face. I hope you don't meet an untimely death," Zhu Yishi said with concern.

Qin Jun was indifferent to this, waving his hand and saying, "Alright, I should go back to celebrate. You guys enjoy yourselves, but be careful, the treasures in our palace are extremely precious."

Damn it!

How dare you insult us as thieves!

Not only Zhu Yishi, but also the envoys behind him were furious.

Qin Jun ignored their murderous glances, turned around, and left with Guan Yu. Before leaving, Guan Yu glanced at Zhu Yishi and the others, making them shiver and quickly lower their heads, not daring to meet his gaze.

After they disappeared around the corner of the imperial garden, one of the envoys sighed, "This General Guan Yu's aura is so fierce. It's the first time in my life that I've seen such a thing."

"Alright, don't boost his morale!" Zhu Yishi said in a deep voice, subconsciously looking at Zhen Hun, who was following silently behind.

When they arrived, they were full of spirit and pride, but now they were like a dog, not daring to say a word.

Useless!

After witnessing Guan Yu's might, Zhu Yishi planted a seed in his heart. A super powerhouse can really change the situation of a kingdom!

...

Under Guan Yu's perception, Qin Jun soon found Daji, Xiaotian Dog, and Chang Qianqian in a garden.

There were many princes and envoys from the Canglan Kingdom in the garden, and as for Nanyu Xin, she probably went to visit her father.

"Hello, Third Prince!"

"Third Prince, it's been a long time. Have you been well this past month?"

"Haha, Third Prince, you really stole the show today. We are truly envious."

"Where did the Third Prince find such a capable general?"

When the princes saw Qin Jun, they flocked to him. In the past, they had sneered at Qin Jun and even made sarcastic remarks when they met, mostly because of Emperor Qian's favoritism.

Qin Jun nodded slightly to them, then walked straight to Daji and the others, saying, "Let's go, it's time to go back."

Emperor Qian rewarded him with a palace, but it would definitely take some time before they could move in. So, they still had to stay at the Luoya Inn. And he believed that it wouldn't be long before Emperor Qian sent someone to fetch him.

How could a great hero be made to stay at an inn?

Daji, Xiaotian Dog, and Chang Qianqian didn't ask any questions and followed him without hesitation.

Watching their departing figures, the princes couldn't help but curse. They were truly arrogant!

Little did they know that they had never treated Qin Jun's previous self as a human being.

...

The news of the confrontation between the two kingdoms spread throughout the Qianyue Kingdom like wildfire.

The most outstanding event was the sudden appearance of the Third Prince, Qin Jun, who turned the tide of the battle and the legendary general of the Canglan Kingdom, Xiao Beilong, was slain by the divine general Guan Yu. All the forces and families who received the news were dumbfounded, and the names of Qin Jun and Guan Yu were widely circulated among the people, even in the cultivation circle.

"Have you heard? The Third Prince, Qin Jun, with a divine general named Guan Yu, killed the General of the Canglan Kingdom, Xiao Beilong!"

"I heard that the Third Prince and Xiao Beilong gambled with their lives!"

"I heard that Guan Yu is three zhang tall and wields a giant sword that can summon thunder and rain!"

"Not only that, I heard that just one glance from Guan Yu scared the prince of the Canglan Kingdom to wet himself!"

The rumors became more and more exaggerated, and there was a faint trend of deifying Guan Yu.

But one thing was certain, Guan Yu's popularity surpassed that of Nanyu Xin.

Even Xiao Beilong, who was on the same level as Nanyu Xin, was killed by Guan Yu with a single blow, and even a child could understand the difference between the two.

Qingtang City, the City Lord's Mansion.

"Hahaha! Truly worthy of the Third Prince, what a feat!" Chen Zhanjian exclaimed excitedly, pounding the table with laughter. Sitting next to him, Chen Shuli was equally excited, "It wasn't Daji who went to battle, but a man named Guan Yu. It seems the Third Prince has recruited another super powerhouse!"

Although Chen Shuli was a scholar, he also understood the significance of Xiao Beilong.

To be able to defeat him with a single blow, Daji probably didn't have that kind of strength.

"Yes, the Third Prince doesn't know where to recruit so many strong people from," Chen Zhanjian sighed.

When Qin Jun first came to Qingtang City, he wiped out the Cheng family in just one day, and now he has shaken the entire kingdom. Such a prince, if he becomes the emperor, the Qianyue Kingdom is bound to soar!

The moment he received the news, he was first shocked and incredulous, but in the end, he became determined.

He was determined to stand on Qin Jun's side, and as for the Fifth Prince, Qin Yu, he was destined to be trampled by Qin Jun in his eyes.

"Shu Li, the Third Prince values you so much. You must not let him down. If you have any requests in the future, feel free to mention them. In the upcoming imperial examination, you must strive to be the top scholar!" Chen Zhanjian said meaningfully.

Chen Shuli confidently replied, "Don't worry. I may feel ashamed of my cultivation, but when it comes to studying and statecraft, I have absolute confidence!"

Since a young age, he had been advising Chen Zhanjian and had gained some experience, but it was still just child's play. It was only when he followed the Third Prince to the capital that things became exciting!

...

Xuanling Sect, Hall of Council.

"This is incredible. This young man is definitely a dragon among men!" Chang Tianyou sighed as he looked at the letters in his hand. The elders sitting below also had letters from the capital, all of which were about the extraordinary feats of Qin Jun and Guan Yu.

"Who exactly is Guan Yu? When Qin Jun came to Xuanling Sect, he didn't bring this person with him. He only had a woman and a dog by his side," a puzzled elder asked.

In the past, Daji had intimidated them, making them afraid to act. Now, there was another super powerful individual by Qin Jun's side, leaving them speechless.

Since when did super powerful individuals become as common as cabbages on the street?

"He must have a transcendent force backing him!" Chang Tianyou firmly believed that a Void Realm powerhouse like Daji would not unreasonably join forces with a prince of a kingdom.
