Is there any hope for me, who proposed to the world-destroying empress at the very beginning?

What do you think of the Fifth Prince?

As they strolled along the passageway, Jun Hongyan suddenly asked Su Liang a question.

"Indeed, as rumored, she remained calm, but..."

Before he could finish speaking, Jun Hongyan interrupted him with a gentle smile.

"Not bad, you've improved; you can read people now."

Although the words were not spoken, the two understood each other perfectly.

This fifth prince is not as innocent and kind as he seems!

"Get out of the way!"

Suddenly, a shout came from above. Looking up, he saw that one of them was someone Su Liang was somewhat acquainted with.

Four princes!

Beside him stood another young man.

It was faintly visible that the Fourth Prince was bowing before him, looking much shorter, like a lackey.

The only person who could command such treatment from him, besides the Crown Prince, is—the Third Prince!

All they could see was the Fourth Prince following the Third Prince on the right, which, by sheer coincidence, blocked Su Liang and his companion's path.

Su Liang frowned, while Jun Hongyan remained indifferent, as if they were never even in her eyes.

At this moment, the Third Prince spoke up.

"I didn't expect my elder sister to be here too."

"However, why does my elder sister always keep such an unruly servant by her side? Look, he's blocking my way now."

The passageways within the palace walls were wide enough to accommodate an army of 100,000, let alone these few people.

The so-called obstruction is both an excuse and a warning, isn't it?

However, the two people standing in front of him were a future empress who would one day overthrow the world, and a gigolo from the empress's family.

Do you think I'll even acknowledge you?

Embarrassing?

Jun Hongyan walked side by side with Su Liang, never caring about him from beginning to end.

Ignoring someone is more infuriating than direct conflict. The Third Prince narrowed his eyes, a cold glint flashing within them.

At the same time, a person shot out from behind him like a cannonball, his heavy aura pressing down straight down, like a giant elephant coming straight at him.

Dragon Elephant Kung Fu!

Fourth level of the Life Palace Realm!

Its fierce aura was like that of a savage beast; the surging blood and qi within its body emitted a shockwave powerful enough to crush an ordinary person to death.

As it landed, the faint tremors emanating from the bricks and tiles sounded like the hum of a bronze bell.

He controlled his aura perfectly, and the violent momentum did not spread outwards, but instead concentrated in one place, heading straight for Su Liang.

However, as soon as this aura approached Su Liang, it vanished without a trace, like a clay ox sinking into the sea.

Having cultivated such a level of external martial arts skills, one can only imagine the arduous and diligent training this person must have endured.

With a flick of the wrist, one can cleave gold and shatter rocks; the force arrives before the move.

Before the people even arrived, the gods had already determined who was superior!

The Third Prince sneered.

"Never take yourself too seriously. In front of me, you are nothing—"

However, at that very moment, the Third Prince had not yet finished speaking.

"Boom!"

The body of that powerful cultivator...

Like a deflated balloon, he flew backward, his meridians shattered, and he was confined to his bed for the rest of his life.

The third and fourth princes, who were watching from the sidelines, were visibly stunned, their pupils dilated and their lips slightly parted.

The opponent is a master who has killed countless martial artists at the Life Palace Realm.

How could Su Liang be completely unable to defend himself with just one move!

The rumors don't seem that outrageous!

After a long moment of stunned silence, the Fourth Prince finally snapped out of his daze. The pressure from the powerful figure still seemed to linger around him, causing his legs to tremble uncontrollably.

Chapter 103 Now that I've returned, how dare I be presumptuous? (Seeking votes and subscriptions)

He quickly hid behind the Third Prince, curling up so that not even a corner of his clothes was visible, for fear of being implicated by Su Liang.

The Third Prince remained unfazed, maintaining his arrogant demeanor, but as Su Liang approached, he couldn't help but feel a little intimidated.

Su Liang slowly stepped forward, and as he walked, the Third Prince felt an immense pressure bearing down on him, causing his body to tremble slightly.

I am a prince of the Great Qin Dynasty, how could I be afraid of a pretty boy like you!

immediately.

Su Liang glanced indifferently at the Third Prince.

Just one glance, without saying a word.

But at that moment, the Third Prince was instantly covered in cold sweat.

It was as if he were being stared at by an ancient ferocious beast; he felt a tightness in his chest and his heart was in his throat, neither rising nor falling.

Finally, he actually stepped aside and let the two of them leave.

From beginning to end, silence speaks louder than words.

He lost in the first round!

After Su Liang and Jun Hongyan left, the Third Prince clenched his fist tightly in his sleeve, his words, though seemingly fierce, betrayed his inner fear.

"The number one prodigy, as expected... is not bad!!"

They left the palace.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, the Crown Prince happened to appear here as well.

"Brother Su, we meet again."

"Greetings, Your Highness."

Su Liang's expression was indifferent, and his greeting was as casual as if he were greeting a street vendor.

No, perhaps it's more than that.

Even the smiling crown prince could sense that unspoken disdain.

But he still walked up to the two of them with a smile, which alone was enough to impress them and showed that he was a man who could bend and stretch.

The Crown Prince then spoke with practiced ease,

"You must have already met your third brother. He's not as easy to talk to as I am."

Su Liang largely agreed.

"I can tell."

Seeing this, the crown prince quickly seized the opportunity to forge the railway.

"If that's the case, Brother Su, won't you reconsider what I said earlier?"

"Given the current situation, we still need to—"

"enough."

Before he could finish speaking, Jun Hongyan urged him on.

"Let's go."

From beginning to end, her phoenix eyes never once paid attention to the Crown Prince, remaining as arrogant and indifferent as ever.

Su Liang shrugged.

"I'll definitely do it next time if I have the chance."

Then, the two of them drifted away under the Crown Prince's watchful eyes.

She rejected his kindness yet again.

However, as if he had long been accustomed to this outcome, the Crown Prince remained calm and showed no dissatisfaction.

Only those eyes were fixed intently on the depths of the palace.

"The more you underestimate me, the more room I have to...make my mark."

"When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits!"

...

On the way back after leaving the solemn and majestic palace, Jun Hongyan, unusually, took the initiative to speak.

Don't you think it's ridiculous?

Su Liang asked in confusion,

"for example?"

Jun Hongyan laughed self-deprecatingly.

"The imperial family is the most ruthless place. Is that lofty throne really so tempting?"

"It can make people abandon everything and stop at nothing."

Su Liang shook his head.

"It's not really appropriate for me to answer that."

Why?

Meeting her questioning gaze, Su Liang spread his hands, explaining helplessly,
