"Your Majesty... I know what you're thinking. You're thinking about the possibility of the capital's situation being shaken, right? If the townspeople in the outer zone think of moving their residences away, the population of the capital city will be less, and the capital city will no longer be the capital city."

Suddenly, Zheng-Fu spoke up about what Lu-Song-Xi was thinking right now. Zheng-Fu's words caused Lu-Song-Xi's face to twitch in disbelief because Zheng-Fu's words matched his thoughts.

"Sigh… It's true what Young Master said," Lu-Song-Xi let out a long sigh before nodding and accepting what Zheng-Fu had said earlier.

Huh!?

"Father!?"

"Father!?"

The princes and the princess called their father loudly in disbelief at the same time. They had never thought of this issue before and had no idea that something like this existed.

"Hmm… Your Majesty, do you think this capital should exist or let it disappear?" Zheng-Fu asked again, seriously staring at Lu-Song-Xi.

Huh...?

When everyone heard Zheng-Fu's words, doubt and puzzlement immediately popped into their minds as to what he meant.

"Of course, I'd like this capital to remain. No matter what happens, I'll have to make it last ten thousand years!" Lu-Song-Xi replied with a very serious and firm face, without hesitation or thinking in any other way.

"But will you be able to do it when the confidence and happiness of the people have been taken away? Do you think they still want to stay here?" Zheng-Fu continued to shoot the question at Lu-Song-Xi, who answered him without hesitation. Zheng-Fu was actually testing Lu-Song-Xi to see if it was appropriate for him to reach out to help Lu-Song-Xi.

Ah!!!

The last question made Lu-Song-Xi shudder. It was a difficult question to answer. What the people thought was something beyond his ability to know. Even if there was an announcement to help the victims of this disaster, it might not have helped the previous indignation disappear.

"You're being too cocky, filthy bastard!!! What would a person like you know about how much His Majesty devotes himself to the people and makes everyone happy? A guy like you..."

"Make everyone happy, is that so? Princess, may I ask if you have ever been to the outer zone? Have you ever been to the homeless zone? Have you ever known how belongings and goods are in the outer zone?"

While the princess was furiously cursing Zheng-Fu. Zheng-Fu interjected her, asking her questions.

"N... N... Never!" Encountering Zheng-Fu's question, Lu-Ying-Ying, who was about to continue cursing Zheng-Fu, became silent because she had never been to the outer zone. She only knew of the inner and central zones.

"And you dare to say that King Lu-Song-Xi is trying to make the people there happy? If you haven't seen anything yet, you shouldn't be cursing at the others."

Zheng-Fu's words made Lu-Ying-Ying's face red with anger. But she could not make any more sounds, for Zheng-Fu's words just told her that she did not know anything well enough but dared to say that her father had tried his best.

"I beg your pardon, Young Master Zheng-Fu!" Suddenly, a voice rang out. It was the voice of the Second Prince of Blueland.

Huh...?

The Second Prince!?

"I, the Second Prince. Nice to meet you, Young Master Zheng-Fu," the Second Prince took a few steps forward before politely greeting Zheng-Fu.

"Does Your Highness have something to say?" As for Zheng-Fu, he did not even need to introduce himself because everyone probably knew him already. Therefore, Zheng-Fu spoke directly about the matter.

"Hmm... You're very straightforward. If so, then let's get to the point... I want to ask Young Master Zheng-Fu, what are you planning!?" the second prince said with a calm expression on his face as if he were a consultant who had been planning wars for a long time.

Huh...?

"What does Your Highness mean?"

"What plan? Who has a plan?"

The nobles raised their voices in wonder at the words of the Second Prince, who asked Zheng-Fu without any motive.

Ha ha ha!!!

"Your Highness is straightforward as well. But I don't have any plans, sir. I just wanted to ask His Majesty to test him," Zheng-Fu laughed with a sly smile that appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Test!?

"What are you talking about?" Lu-Song-Xi asked immediately upon hearing Zheng-Fu's words.

"You didn't hear me wrong, Your Majesty... Actually, I'm just testing you. I just want to know what your opinions and attitudes are. I must apologize. But even then, you still lacked the ability to look at people.

Unlike the Second Prince, he doesn't talk much, but when he does, he can end the problem," Zheng-Fu explained, turning to smile at the Second Prince, who was looking at him and continued to speak.

"But even so, Your Highness, you never directly ask that kind of question if you don't know the other person well enough. Because your words could be either a peaceful end to a problem or a bloody end to it, you should think carefully first."

"Thank you, Young Master Zheng-Fu, for recommending me. I'll keep that in mind as a lesson," the Second Prince clasped his hands up, bowed slightly, and politely thanked Zheng-Fu.

The second prince's actions had caused Lu-Song-Xi, the Third Wang, the Grand Prince, the Third Princess, and other nobles to look dazed. Everyone knew well what kind of person the Second Prince was. He usually did not talk much to anyone and did not even need to mention this kind of respect and politeness. But now he was doing that to someone who was just a very young man.

"As for the Grand Prince, even though the technique you applied was a high-level technique, it still has a lot of flaws, so it is still unable to show the abilities to the fullest. And its stance was too much, making enemies aware of your attacks. If you can get rid of the unnecessary movement points, I assure you that you'll be much stronger."

"Tch!!! I knew. There's no need for someone like you to teach me!" said the Grand Prince as he lifted his head as if not interested but actually trembled inside and wanted to know the elimination of movement Zheng-Fu mentioned. But how could he, who was the Grand Prince and recognized as the greatest genius of his generation, accept the teachings of a younger kid?

When Zheng-Fu finished speaking to the Grand Prince, he turned to Princess Ying-Ying and smiled slightly. His smile made his face look even more charming and attractive. This caused Lu-Ying-Ying's followers to tremble, not except Lu-Ying-Ying herself.

"As for the princess, I didn't mean to offend you in any way. It was all just an accident. I was in a hurry to help my people, thus causing such a thing to happen. And as an apology, I have something I want to give."

Flap!!!

"That is…!!?"

"This thing is an amulet cast with a high-level Nascent Soul protecting spell. It's made from six elemental elite minerals, consisting of Earth Iron ore, Water Reflux ore, Fire Magma ore, Storm Swirling ore, Winter Frozen ore, and Cloud Thunder ore. These six minerals are all specific elements.

Therefore, this amulet can be used to protect against great masters who possess the six elemental energies of the High Nascent Soul stage."

Huh...?

By the end of Zheng-Fu's explanation, everyone's eyes almost popped out of their sockets in disbelief, not even those of Bao-Jin's group, because this item could be called a very rare item. Its price would not be able to be estimated.

"No!!! I don't accept your stuff, you pervert... No matter how good it is, I won't get it from you. And I'm telling you right here that I'll never forget that moment!" the girl immediately refused, stomping her feet in frustration.

"Princess!!!"

"Your Highness, accept it, please. That item will help protect..."

"Quiet now. I said no. If you still think to tell me to get something from him, then I'll kick you out of the gang!!!"

Oops!

"Ying-Ying, my daughter, take it. Young Master Zheng-Fu has..."

"No, Father. I'll never receive anything from this man. No matter what anyone says!!!" Lu-Ying-Ying still stubbornly refused to accept the gift from Zheng-Fu, with a displeased look on her face.

"Alright... Since the princess doesn't want it, I won't force you at all. But anyway, I'm sorry about that matter. And I don't care if you'll forgive me or not because I'm not wrong. But I apologize; that's because I don't want to complicate matters," Zheng-Fu retracted his hand. Then he spoke to Lu-Ying-Ying indifferently and did not care what she thought about him.

He had already apologized and would no longer care.

Thump!!!

"You are irresponsible!!!"

Lu-Ying-Ying's face was so red that her ears rang in anger immediately upon hearing Zheng-Fu's words, which did not seem the slightest submissive to her at all. In addition, he even showed a cold expression towards her. So, she stomped her feet hard before scolding him, accusing him of being irresponsible for what he had done.

"Sigh... Are all women like this? I don't understand. How are you now, Qi-Er?" Zheng-Fu muttered softly when he saw Lu-Ying-Ying's expression, as it reminded him of his young lady, Qi-Fu-Er, who first opened his worldview.

He turned to look at Lu-Song-Xi again and said, "Your Highness, this is all I can say. It's all up to you to manage it. The things that I should have said have already been said. So let me and my comrades excuse ourselves. If there's anything you don't understand, I'm at the Purple Dragon Auction House. You can go find me...

Goodbye."

Having finished speaking, Zheng-Fu turned to Bao-Jin's group, who had now recovered more than seven parts of their strength and body because of Zheng-Fu's pills, to take them to the Purple Dragon Auction House and stay there instead since Zheng-Fu could feel the dark Qi energy that was still adrift. But it was so thin that it was almost impossible to touch.

So, he decided not to stay here, where he did not know the other party's movements, any longer.
