Chapter 50 Reading

Thank you readers!

“What frightening power!”

Everyone was shocked, and their faces were filled with nervousness.

The flames dissipated, and so did the sword radiance.

When all the forces dissipated as time passed, the two figures finally reappeared before the crowd.

One was standing, while the other was half kneeling.

It was obvious that the outcome had been decided.

“However, who won?”

When the smoke and dust dissipated, everyone’s eyes narrowed.

The one standing was Ding Hao, and the half-kneeling one was naturally the top master of the Crown Prince’s Mansion, Long Hong.

At this moment, his clothes were in tatters, and there was a two-finger-wide bloody hole on his chest that was dripping with blood.

Long Hong, the No. 1 Master of the Crown Prince’s Mansion, had been defeated by Ding Hao.

“Junior Protector Long… has lost!” The scene before the crowd was simply too unbelievable for the Crown Prince and Military Counselor Wusun.

It should be noted that very few people in the True Immortal Realm could be a match for Long Hong. His cultivation level was terrifying to the extreme. Otherwise, the Crown Prince wouldn’t have roped him in and appointed him as the Junior Protector.

But Ding Hao defeated him with only one move, which was truly shocking.

“He… he won. Ding Hao defeated Junior Protector Long Hong with only one move!” Yi Gao and the others who came with Ding Hao were also shocked, and their eyes were about to fall out.

They had never expected Ding Hao to have such strength and defeat Long Hong so easily.

“I… I lost! I lost to him!?” As Long Hong gazed at Ding Hao and covered the spot where he’d been injured, a wisp of unwillingness and even slight disbelief appeared in his eyes.

“Alas…”

Long Hong’s expression wavered for a long time before he sighed, and then he cupped his fists toward Ding Hao and said, “Your cultivation is so profound. I’m no match for you!”

Even though he was extremely unwilling, Long Hong still had his own self-esteem. If he lost, then he lost. Moreover, from the battle just now, he knew that he and Ding Hao weren’t on the same level at all.

“Thank you for letting me win!” Ding Hao nodded at him with a calm expression. He didn’t show any joy at all just because he had defeated his opponent.

Long Hong no longer looked dejected and withdrew his gaze. Tilting his head to look at the Crown Prince, he bowed slightly and said apologetically, “Your Highness, I’m sorry that I have embarrassed you. I ask for your punishment!”

“That won’t be necessary, Junior Protector Long. Men, get the imperial physician to treat him!” The Crown Prince regained his senses and looked at Long Hong with a smile. He then ordered the imperial physician to treat Long Hong.

“Thank you for your magnanimity, Your Highness. I will take my leave!” Long Hong’s eyes flashed with gratitude. He bowed again to the Crown Prince and left.

“Your Highness, this man is very powerful. We definitely have to rope him in. If he joins the Crown Prince’s Mansion, it will be much easier for us to deal with the Third Prince!” After Long Hong left, Military Counselor Wusun transmitted a voice message to the Crown Prince with a dazzling light in his eyes.

“I know!” Crown Prince Rong Fu nodded. At this moment, he was more and more eager to rope Ding Hao in and make him join the Crown Prince’s Mansion.

In his eyes, Ding Hao seemed to have become a priceless treasure that countless people fought over.

Ding Hao naturally noticed what the Crown Prince and the military counselor were doing, but his expression did not change at all. He still stood there quietly. “Brother Ding Hao, your cultivation level is profound. It’s really an eye-opener!” Crown Prince Rong Fu took the lead in breaking the silence and smiled at Ding Hao.

“I’m flattered, Your Highness!” Ding Hao said modestly.

Crown Prince Rong Fu smiled and walked up to Ding Hao, showing an approachable and courteous manner. “I am very happy to see you today. I wonder if you can help me by joining the Crown Prince’s Mansion?”

“He’s asking him to join the Crown Prince’s Mansion!” To the side, Yi Gao was immediately startled when he heard this, and he laughed bitterly in his heart.

He also knew that the Crown Prince wanted to recruit Ding Hao after seeing his powerful strength. Moreover, it seemed that he wanted to recruit Ding Hao very much.

“Have they finally begun to rope me in?” Ding Hao was not surprised at all. He had long known that Rong Fu would say this.

With a surprised look on his face, Ding Hao did not immediately agree. “Your Highness, there are many people and countless masters in your mansion. I am just a person who has lost his memory. Even if I have some martial arts skills, I can’t help you much, and…”

Speaking of this, Ding Hao glanced at Yi Gao and continued, “And I have promised Young Master Yi to be his guard before. How can I abandon him to accept your invitation?”

“Brother Ding Hao, you are too modest.” Hearing this, Crown Prince Rong Fu did not look dissatisfied. Instead, he said sincerely, “With your strength, you will definitely make great achievements in the future. It will not be a problem for you to help me.

“As for the matter of agreeing to Yi Gao as a guard…” When he spoke of this, he tilted his head slightly to look at Yi Gao, and then he smiled as he said, “Yi Gao, I’ll dispatch some people to protect you. I’m sure that will be enough to keep you safe…”

Yi Gao understood the meaning behind his words. After bitterly laughing in his heart, he respectfully said to him, “Thank you for your great kindness, Your Highness.”

Then, he turned to look at Ding Hao and said sincerely, “Brother Ding, since His Highness thinks so highly of you, you should agree to join the Crown Prince’s Mansion. It will be a great opportunity for you.”

In fact, Yi Gao didn’t say that entirely because of Crown Prince Rong Fu.

Most of the reason was that Yi Gao knew that his tribe could not keep Ding Hao and that Ding Hao had saved his life before. Out of gratitude to Ding Hao, he also thought that Ding Hao’s acceptance of the invitation would be a good choice.

Crown Prince Rong Fu was very satisfied with Yi Gao’s answer. He glanced at the military counselor next to him.

Military Counselor Wusun understood and immediately said to Ding Hao with a smile, “Brother Ding Hao, since Young Master Yi has said so, you shall join the Crown Prince’s Mansion. His Highness will not treat you badly.”

Ding Hao hesitated for a moment and did not refuse again. He said, “Since His Highness thinks highly of me, I will no longer refuse.”

As soon as the Crown Prince heard this, he clapped his hands and said, “Terrific. I now have another great help. Haha, since we’re so happy today, we’ll surely drink to our heart’s content.

“Men, restart the banquet!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the servants immediately cleaned up the place and brought over plates of delicacies once more.

The Crown Prince’s Mansion became lively again. The servants in the mansion were very busy.

The most excited person at the banquet was none other than Crown Prince Rong Fu. After drinking over a hundred cups of liquor in a row, his fair face was flushed.

The atmosphere of the banquet was great until late at night.

After receiving the generous reward, Yi Gao and his men bid farewell to Crown Prince Rong Fu happily.

After they left, the Crown Prince immediately ordered several maids to prepare a room for Ding Hao to rest in.

Before leaving, Ding Hao mentioned to the Crown Prince that he wanted to read the ancient books in his mansion.

The reason was that due to the amnesia, his previous understanding of this world had become vague. Therefore, he wanted to use the books to get to know this world again.

At first, Crown Prince Rong Fu was a little surprised, but when he heard Ding Hao’s reason, he did not doubt it and agreed very quickly.

However, it was too late now, so Ding Hao could only wait until tomorrow.

After saying goodbye to the Crown Prince, Ding Hao was led by several maids to a courtyard in the southeast corner of the Crown Prince’s Mansion. This was where Ding Hao was going to stay next.

After looking around, Ding Hao was very satisfied with this place, because the environment was beautiful and very quiet.

These maids were arranged by the Crown Prince to serve Ding Hao, but he still refused his kindness. He asked them to go back and tell the Crown Prince to thank him for his kindness. It was because he was used to being alone and was not used to being served by others. action

The maids had no choice but to return.

Ding Hao walked into the courtyard with Evil Moon in his arms, who was sleeping soundly because of drinking too much. He pushed open the door of the central room and stepped in.

…

The next morning, when a ray of sunlight shone on the window, the door was opened again.

The person who slowly came out was Ding Hao, who had just washed up.

“Human Pet, you can go alone. Meow, I’m not going. I’ll stay here and have a good sleep. By the way, before you go, arrange for a few young maids to prepare some food for me. Remember, it must be the best…” As soon as he walked out of the door, Evil Moon’s voice came from behind him.

Ding Hao looked back at Evil Moon, who was lying down again. He smiled bitterly and walked out of the courtyard.

As soon as he came out, a servant with a mole walked toward him.

“Your Excellency!” The servant bowed to Ding Hao and said, “I’m here to pick you up as ordered by His Highness.”

“Okay. Let’s go then!” Ding Hao nodded.

The servant bowed once more and led the way.

Passing through the garden, the pavilion, and the courtyard, Ding Hao was finally led by the servant to the library.

“Your Excellency, this is the Literary Pavilion of the Crown Prince’s Mansion.” The servant pointed his palm upwards and pointed at the pavilion that had a circumference of over 300m as he spoke respectfully.

When the servant pushed the door open, the literary sense immediately hit Ding Hao in the face. He finally saw the scene inside.

“You may leave now. I’ll leave after I finish reading.” Ding Hao waved his hand and walked into the Literary Pavilion.

“Yes, Your Excellency!”

The servant’s voice came from behind, and then there was a slight sound of footsteps that gradually faded away.

When Ding Hao entered, the first thing he saw were rows of bookshelves made of ancient purple-black wood.

The bookshelf was filled with dense scrolls, bamboo slips, and ancient books.

There was a strange fragrance in the air, which made people feel refreshed.

“Well, the Crown Prince’s Mansion does live up to its reputation. There are a lot of books collected here. I wonder if there is any information about the Heart of Heaven and Earth here…” Ding Hao’s eyes flashed with expectation.

Ding Hao came to read the ancient books in the Crown Prince’s Mansion in the name of memory loss. In addition to understanding this world, he also wanted to find clues about the Heart of Heaven and Earth.

Without thinking much, Ding Hao immediately walked to the bookshelves, picked up a book at the front, and began to read it.

The first scroll he picked up was called “Odd of the Spirit Region”.

As he read quickly, Ding Hao soon knew what was described in it.

This book described some strange things in the Spirit Region. Except for that, there was no information about the Spirit Region or the Heart of Heaven and Earth.

After putting the book down, Ding Hao picked up another book.

In the following time, Ding Hao kept picking up these scrolls, bamboo slips, and ancient books in front of these bookshelves and then put them down one by one.

With Ding Hao’s reading speed, even if it was an inch-thick book, he could finish reading it in a few minutes. If someone were here, they would definitely be very surprised, because Ding Hao’s speed of reading was simply too fast. It was as if he could finish a page in a second.

Therefore, even though there were thousands of books here, with Ding Hao’s speed, he finished reading all of them when the sun was slightly west.
