Chapter 862 New Customers (4)

The eighth and the sixth prince had been glaring at each other, so they didn't see who this person was at first.

When they heard this voice ringing out, both of them felt a hint of anger as they thought, "Who are you to talk to us like this?"

They were royals after all, so they had the pride of royals.

They were about to open their mouths and teach this rude person a lesson until they saw his face. As soon as they saw his face, their words were stuck in their throats and their expressions froze as they stood there in a daze.

Seeing this, the person who stood out gave a snort before turning to the guards and saying, "Are you still holding up your weapons? Why are you not standing down yet?"

When the guards heard this, they immediately stood down without waiting for permission from the sixth or eighth prince. After standing down, they all fell down and bowed to this man who had suddenly cut in.

Both the sixth and eighth prince realized that they were staring too long and gave coughs to calm themselves before the eighth prince said, "Second brother, why are you here?"

Second brother…that was right, this person was the second prince.

He had been hiding in the crowd during this entire time, but seeing that the eighth and sixth prince were about to clash, he had no choice but to come out and stop them. After all, two princes clashing was a very big deal, especially during these tense times.

The sixth prince nodded before saying, "Second brother, didn't you have some important business to take care of today?"

When he had left the castle, he had bumped into this second brother of his and he had heard him say that he was busy with something. So why did his second brother suddenly appear here?

But the second prince didn't care about their questions and instead answered with a question of his own, "Do you realize what you're doing? Do you know what status you have?"

When the two of them heard this, they couldn't help looking away awkwardly.

After all, they had indeed gone a bit too far just now.

If their guards really clashed, it was unlikely that this store would have survived and there would have certainly been civilian casualties. This was not something that could be easily covered up, so they would certainly receive their punishment from their royal father.

After a bit of awkward silence, the eighth prince said, "Second brother, it was all sixth brother's fault. He was the one that started the fight."

The sixth prince jolted when he heard this, but he then said, "Second brother, don't listen to him. I was just punishing an evildoer, I wasn't…"

The second prince suddenly raised his hand to cut the sixth prince off and he said in a sharp tone, "Don't bother lying to me, I've already seen everything."

Then without waiting for either of them to say a thing, he turned to Jun Xie and slightly bowed his head as he said, "Young master Jun, I have to apologize for my younger brothers."

There wasn't a single person that said a thing as the entire area fell to the silence. There wasn't even a single person who dared to breathe too loud out of fear that they would attract any attention.

No one would have believed that the second prince would bow his head to Jun Xie, even if it was only slightly lowering his head.

After all, the second prince was one of the people who everyone assumed had the greatest chances of becoming the crown prince.

His only other competitors were the first prince and the fourth prince.

Jun Xie naturally didn't know how to react to this, but with everyone's attention on him after the second prince's apology, he had no choice but to answer. So in the end, Jun Xie just stuttered, "Your highness, there's no need to apologize to me. I should be the one thanking you for saving me."

The second prince looked up and said, "No, it was my little brothers' fault for involving you in this matter."

He looked around before saying, "Uncle Long, uncle Ying, can you come out?"

The two World Realm Experts who had been hiding in the crowd walked out when they heard this.

The second prince then said, "Can I ask you to bring my little brothers back to the castle first. I'll punish them accordingly later."

The faces of the sixth and eighth prince fell when they heard this, but they knew that it would be meaningless to argue. So they followed the two World Realm Experts out of the store.

The second prince then turned to Ouyang Xun and Yang Xi Ruo and said, "Young master Ouyang and young miss Yang, I apologize for getting you involved in this matter."

Both of them quickly bowed to the second prince and said, "No, your highness. It was no trouble at all."

Though it was clear that one had suffered much more than the other. The second prince could also see this, so he said to Yang Xi Ruo, "Miss Yang, I think that you have some business with young master Jun, so you can leave for now."

Yang Xi Ruo revealed a look of admiration when she heard this.

She gave a nod to the second prince and simply said, "Thank you, your highness." Then without hesitation, she grabbed Jun Xie's hand and pulled him out of the store.

As she was leaving, she couldn't help thinking that she should talk to her father about the sixth prince.

Their Yang Family had been supporting the sixth prince, but it wasn't because they believed in his cause or his chances of succeeding the throne. In fact, the only reason that the Yang Family even supported the sixth prince in the first place was all because of a favour they owed to his mother.

However, that favour had already been paid back by her father a long time ago, so there really was no reason why they should continue supporting the sixth prince.

With the power that Duke Yang held, he wouldn't have a problem switching from the sixth prince's faction and entering the faction of one of the princes that actually had a chance to take the throne. The reason why they had never done this before was because they didn't know which prince had the highest chance of winning and they didn't know the personality of the princes.

If they switched without learning anything, they would be the ones that suffered in the end.

Yang Xi Ruo thought that she had a good judge of character and now that she had met the second prince, she was quite impressed by the character that he had shown.

She didn't know much about the first or fourth prince since she had never met them, but she had seen plenty of their subordinates at the academy. While one subordinate wouldn't be enough to show the personality of the master, if almost all of the subordinates had the same personality, that should be enough.

As for the subordinates of the first and fourth, most of them were selfish, arrogant, and narcissistic.

So it was clear that the first and fourth prince weren't good choices.

The second prince didn't have many subordinates, but he had something else that he could use to compete with the first and fourth princes. The second prince was known as a cultivation genius, having a much higher cultivation than any of the other princes.

So even without subordinates, he had more than enough power to deal with the other princes.

After seeing the second prince in person and experiencing his manner of acting, she was convinced that the second prince was the right choice out of the princes. She would have to talk to her father about stopping their support of the sixth prince and moving to the second prince's faction.

After they left, the second prince turned his attention to Ouyang Xun and Ouyang Xun naturally understood what he meant. Since the eighth prince was gone, there was no longer a reason for Ouyang Xun to stay here any longer.

Understanding this, Ouyang Xun bowed to the second prince before saying, "Your highness, I still have some other matters to attend to, so please excuse me."

The second prince gave a nod before waving his hands as if to dismiss him.

Ouyang Xun didn't dare show any dissatisfaction with this and quickly left Lin Fan's store.

However, he had a smile on his face as he left because he had accomplished what he had wanted to accomplish. Even if there was a slight complication because of the second prince, it should still be more than enough.

The young master of the Jun Family should have been moved by everything that they did.

Thinking this, the smile on his face couldn't help becoming wider as he started imagining all of the benefits that he would receive from the eighth prince after this.

But what he didn't know was that all of his work had been completely negated by Yang Xi Ruo.

He had completely underestimated the relationship between the two of them.

After everyone left, the second prince surprisingly didn't leave with them.

​ He just looked at everyone and said, "You can all go back to what you were doing."

Once this was said, it was like a decree had been passed. Everyone immediately turned away from the second prince and went about their own business, but they also secretly watched him out of the corner of their eyes.

The second prince didn't care about anyone else and turned his eyes to Lin Fan who was sitting at the counter before he started walking over. He stopped in front of the counter and looked at Lin Fan for a bit before saying, "Are you the owner of this store?"

Lin Fan was surprised by the fact that the second prince was still here, but he still calmly gave a nod in response.

The second prince didn't care that he didn't say anything and just said, "I want to leave a pet here for training."

This time, Lin Fan couldn't help being completely stunned, especially after he saw the pet that the second prince took out.

It was a World Realm Pet. To be specific, it was a Low Star Realm Pet.

This was the first World Realm Pet that his shop was taking in for training, so of course he couldn't help feeling a bit excited and a bit nervous.

After taking a moment to calm himself, he said, "The prices are written, so you can just pay and leave your pet."

The second prince nodded before waving his hand and taking out a hundred jades which he left on the table.

Without another word, he turned and walked out of the store.

Lin Fan couldn't help giving a nod of approval when he saw this.

This was how a rich man should act.
