The number one rebel of the Great Wu

Of the three cultivation techniques, the Returning to the Sea Technique has the most annotations, clearly indicating that it was the main cultivation technique practiced by the owner of this secret chamber, thus revealing his eunuch status.

Eunuchs all dream of regaining their masculine prowess.

They used all sorts of methods, from attaching beards to marrying wives to kidnapping young boys to eat whatever they wanted to replenish their bodies.

The owner of this secret room has some big dreams.

Not only does he want to regain his masculine prowess, but he also wants to cultivate the Gangyang Technique and become unparalleled in the world!

Obviously, a lifetime is not enough time for everyone.

Chen Changgeng turned his gaze back to the Changchun Gong, where the Yang Huan Dan and Da Huan Dan had already been marked with cinnabar ink, but the Long Xue Dan was still blank.

"That means the owner of this secret room has already collected both of these items."

"They probably died while searching for dragon blood pills."

Chen Changgeng looked up and, sure enough, saw the two brocade boxes on the bookshelf!

Haha, now I've gotten all the benefits myself!

He quickly went over and took the two brocade boxes, putting them in his sleeve.

Chen Changgeng couldn't easily carry the remaining miscellaneous items in the secret room, so he left them there to retrieve them another day.

He then climbed up the stairs, pondered the mechanism for a while, and carved a wooden wedge to temporarily jam the wooden board, preventing later visitors from discovering the trick.

The rest of the time was spent studying the Gangyang Technique.

Meanwhile.

Outside the Crown Prince's residence, the Jiang family's carriage slowly came to a stop.

Jiang Baiwei had changed into a neat martial arts outfit, her hair tied in a high bun, and jumped out of the car with a displeased expression.

General Jiang, on the other hand, had a big smile on his face, clearly indicating that the grandfather and grandson in the carriage had just had a disagreement.

"I'm perfectly fine now, so why is Grandpa still worried?"

"I insist on having that kid treat me; I can't stand the sight of him!"

Perhaps still sulking, Jiang Baiwei picked up her long sword and, without even waiting for her grandfather, stormed off towards the Crown Prince's residence.

Fortunately, Shen Qingci had given prior instructions, and people were already waiting at the main entrance.

Otherwise, with Jiang Baiwei's fierce and menacing appearance, it would be strange if she weren't mistaken for an assassin and captured!

Inside the mansion, Shen Qingci and the Crown Prince had been waiting since early morning.

To Shen Qingci's surprise, the Crown Prince, for some unknown reason, suddenly changed his attitude after being spoken to by Chen Changgeng yesterday.

I won't go to Consort Ling's place for some fun today; I'll stay here and wait for the Jiang family to come.

Shen Qingci had no idea that Crown Prince Xiao Lie hadn't changed his nature; it was just a passing fancy, a desire to prove himself.

After all, he had been praised by his father, the emperor, but yesterday he went to the palace and was shut down. The contrast was too great.

Furthermore, after being provoked by the Third Prince in the Imperial Study, and then being subtly instructed by Chen Changgeng after returning to the Crown Prince's residence, he suddenly felt as if he had found the right path and was back on track.

Given the Crown Prince's temperament, no one knows how much longer he can hold on...

When the grandfather and grandson of the Jiang family arrived at the main hall, they exchanged a few pleasantries and then got down to business.

Taking advantage of the relatively good relationship between the Shen and Jiang families, Shen Qingci planned to keep Jiang Boheng to discuss military affairs.

As for Jiang Baiwei, the Crown Prince volunteered to take her to Chen Changgeng for treatment.

"Manager Lin."

Crown Prince Xiao Lie gave a greeting.

Lin Dequan immediately jogged in from outside the hall, his face full of fawning smiles.

"Your Highness, I am here."

"Lead the way to the janitor's room."

Upon hearing this, Lin Dequan's smile instantly froze.

Why would the Crown Prince, who usually doesn't concern himself with household affairs, suddenly go to the miscellaneous affairs room?

Could it be that he's going to find that young Gengzi?

Instantly, fine beads of sweat appeared on Lin Dequan's forehead!

Seeing that Lin Dequan hadn't made a move for a long time, Crown Prince Xiao Lie frowned.

"Steward Lin, what are you standing there for?"

"Lead the way!"

Lin Dequan was so startled that he trembled and stammered, then quickly led the way.

His mind raced as he tried to figure out how to explain to the Crown Prince that he had captured Chen Changgeng!

Soon, the group arrived at the janitor's room.

Crown Prince Xiao Lie stood at the door and raised his voice.

"Little Gengzi, why aren't you coming out to greet this Crown Prince!"

In an instant, everyone busy in the janitor's room looked up, their faces filled with fear.

After a moment of silence, the Crown Prince's initially high spirits dipped slightly.

"Little Gengzi! Are you dead?! I, the Crown Prince, called you, and you didn't even answer!"

Seeing that Xiao Lie was about to get angry, Lin Dequan, who was standing behind him, felt his legs go weak.

Just as he was about to speak, trembling, a figure suddenly rushed out of the storeroom.

"Wow! Your Highness, you've finally arrived!"

The person who came was none other than Xiao Fuzi.

He slid to his knees from three meters away and fell directly in front of Crown Prince Xiao Lie, crying and sobbing!

Upon seeing this, Crown Prince Xiao Lie was immediately alarmed.

"What's wrong? Did something happen to Xiao Gengzi?"

Little Fuzi looked up, tears streaming down her face.

"Earlier today, our Manager Chen had his men use torture to arrest him!"

Upon hearing this, Crown Prince Xiao Lie flew into a rage!

"What the hell! How dare you arrest my people!"

"Now, is there anyone in the entire Crown Prince's residence who doesn't know that Little Gengzi is under my protection?"

"They're daring to cause trouble right under the nose of the deity; they're asking for trouble!"

"Tell me, who arrested him!"

Little Fuzi timidly raised her head.

"This servant...this servant dares not speak!"

This instigation caused a buzzing in Lin Dequan's mind.

In my mind, I immediately started cursing Xiao Fuzi's entire family!

Damn it, Little Fuzi, when Wang Youcai was in charge, why weren't you this clever and loyal to your master?

Now that Xiao Gengzi has taken office, you've become so audacious!

"Dare not speak? I, the Crown Prince, will stand up for you! What else is there to be afraid to say!"

"Speak! I, the Crown Prince, guarantee your safety!"

Crown Prince Xiao Lie was very concerned about his reputation, and Xiao Fuzi's words were like a slap in the face to him.

It means there's someone in the Crown Prince's residence with greater prestige than him!

"Yes, yes..."

Xiao Fuzi glanced at Lin Dequan fearfully, quickly pointed a finger, and then withdrew it at lightning speed.

Then came another ghostly howl.

"Oh, Steward Lin, please spare me! I shouldn't have spoken up!"

"Your Highness, you must protect me well!"

Crown Prince Xiao Lie suddenly turned around, and the veins on his forehead bulged!

"Lin Dequan, it was you... who arrested Xiao Gengzi!?"

Lin Dequan immediately knelt down with a thud, his mouth open and he babbled incoherently, his face scrunched up like a bitter gourd.

Having served the Crown Prince in the Crown Prince's residence for so many years, he naturally understood that the matter was no longer as simple as just arresting people.

Now it's a matter of whether he wants to die horizontally or vertically!

"Little Fuzi, our family has always treated you quite well!"

"Why did you have to do this to me!"

Lin Dequan cried out in his heart.

But right now, Little Fuzi, who was clinging to the Crown Prince's leg, had a wicked smile on his face.

Little did they know, Xiao Fuzi was quite shrewd!

Compared to Wang Youcai, Chen Changgeng is truly dedicated when something happens, as can be seen from his actions in protecting Xiaoqin.

Secondly, the fact that he punched the man brought by Steward Lin and showed no fear of Steward Lin gave him the strongest confidence.

Finally, by performing this in front of the Crown Prince, he not only gained the reputation of saving Chen Changgeng, but also showed off in front of the Crown Prince. If he was lucky enough to win the Crown Prince's favor, wouldn't he be able to take off in the future?

With someone to back him up and someone to give him benefits, why should he be afraid of offending Steward Lin?

"Your Highness...please let me explain."

"Here's what happened..."

Crown Prince Xiao Lie had no interest in listening to his rambling and kicked him away.

"Explanation? Explanation my ass!"

"Release him immediately! I, the Crown Prince, demand to see Xiao Gengzi right now!"
