Just as he finished absorbing this wave of breakthrough points, Zhu Wuyang heard a commotion outside.
“Congratulations to the host for hearing a commotion for the first time in your life. You have received 300 breakthrough points…”
Zhu Wuyang was a little speechless. The voices were quite near, so he had no choice but to listen even if he didn’t want to. He even obtained a wave of breakthrough points just like this. Was there still any justice in the world?
Helpless, he could only absorb the breakthrough points again.
After absorbing this wave of breakthrough points, Zhu Wuyang heard the commotion outside getting louder and louder. He listened carefully. It turned out that the head steward of the Crown Prince Palace, Wei Ancai, was gathering all the guards, palace maids, eunuchs… The topic of the meeting was.
Protect the Crown Prince!
“Congratulations to the host for hearing a commotion for the second time in your life. You have received 200 breakthrough points…”
“Congratulations, host. This is the first time in your life that someone has held a meeting to discuss the method to protect you. You have received 1,000 breakthrough points…”
… .
Zhu Wuyang: “…”
Indeed, disaster came from the sky. He was already very honest and quiet, but in the end, he always encountered such unexpected calamity.
“I don’t care which Prince or Princess sent you here as spies or traitors, or if you just want to waste your time in the Crown Prince’s Palace. But since you’ve received this salary, you have to perform your job well.”
“The Crown Prince is our common master. If we can’t even protect the Crown Prince, then don’t blame me for being ruthless and start killing. I still have this bit of authority.”
“From today onwards, you will be divided into different teams according to my instructions. You will protect His Highness the Crown Prince 24 hours a day. If any team makes a mistake, everyone will be executed.”
… .
Outside, Wei Ancai’s voice was filled with killing intent. His sharp voice resounded throughout the entire Crown Prince Palace. His powerful internal energy was undoubtedly displayed, causing the expressions of the hundreds of guards, palace maids, and eunuchs in the Crown Prince Palace to change drastically. For a moment, they were silent.
“Congratulations to the host for hearing the voice of a eunuch for the second time in your life. You have obtained 400 breakthrough points…”
“Congratulations to the host for sensing the powerful aura of a Meridian Forging Realm martial artist for the first time in your life. You have obtained 800 breakthrough points…”
Although Wei Ancai did this to protect Zhu Wuyang, Zhu Wuyang really did not need it. He was not the original owner of this body, so he knew very well that it was better to live than to die.
Unless he had no choice, Zhu Wuyang would never commit suicide. However, facing the waves of breakthrough points, this was clearly forcing Zhu Wuyang to commit suicide.
Wei Ancai, can you stop talking nonsense!
Zhu Wuyang wailed as he tried his best to hide his aura to prevent the guards, eunuchs, and palace maids outside from discovering his abnormality. At the same time, he carefully absorbed the strange power that surged over and transformed it into pure Earth Qi and blood.
However, the commotion outside continued, and all kinds of special encounters continued to come.
“Congratulations to the host for hearing a woman’s voice for the second time in your life. You have obtained 400 breakthrough points…”
“Congratulations to the host for hearing a commotion for the third time in your life. You have received 200 breakthrough points…”
“Congratulations to the host for being protected for the second time in your life. You have received 500 breakthrough points…”
… .
Zhu Wuyang felt like he was about to go crazy. The waves of breakthrough points were like a storm, constantly slapping him under the blanket, making him not even have the time to cultivate the Azure Dragon Concealment Art in peace.
Many special encounters that even Zhu Wuyang did not expect were still discovered by the Extraordinary Encounters System and turned into waves of rewards.
For example, the first time he heard a woman shout, the first time he heard a spit, the first time he heard someone scold him…
Wave after wave of breakthrough points caused Zhu Wuyang to be on the verge of death. Fortunately, Zhu Wuyang did not reach the Perfected Golden Bones Refinement Realm. After all, the number of breakthrough points was not large, and the breakthrough points needed to advance to the Perfected Golden Bones Refinement Realm was not a small number.
However, this was a little too annoying. Facing the breakthrough points that came from time to time, how could Zhu Wuyang cultivate the Azure Dragon Concealment Art peacefully?
At this moment, the matter of the Azure Dragon Concealment Art concerned Zhu Wuyang’s life and death. He would rather not have a single breakthrough point compared to quickly improving the Azure Dragon Concealment Art.
It was still the same thing. The tree wanted to be quiet, but the wind did not stop. The child wanted to be raised, but the family was not around. The Extraordinary Encounters System was like a ferocious dragon. It did not care about Zhu Wuyang’s thoughts at all and forcefully poured waves of breakthrough points into his body, making it impossible for him not to improve.
This reminded Zhu Wuyang of a very realistic and cruel saying on Earth. Life was like an unstoppable force. Since he was powerless to resist, he should enjoy it to his heart’s content.
Hence, Zhu Wuyang began to enjoy the feeling of improvement. At the same time, he continued training the Azure Dragon Concealment Art to make himself safer.
This meeting that focused on protecting the Crown Prince, Zhu Wuyang, lasted for a full four hours. During this time, Wei Ancai even severely punished a few guards, palace maids, eunuchs, and so on. At the same time, he assigned specific tasks, adjusted the guards, and even set a password to protect Zhu Wuyang…
Even Zhu Wuyang could not help but sigh in admiration at how meticulous and detailed it was. He thought to himself that Wei Ancai had really put in a lot of effort to protect him. Such a suitable protection plan was enough to protect the Mad Emperor.
Perhaps Wei Ancai’s plan to protect the Crown Prince was based on the plan of the imperial guards to protect the Mad Emperor, Zhu Zhenwu. However, compared to the group of guards, eunuchs, and palace maids protecting the Mad Emperor, these guards and palace maids could only be considered the ultra-weak version.
There was not even a single Xiantian Realm martial artist. What an embarrassing Crown Prince!
One had to know that most of the Princes and Princesses had no less than one Xiantian Realm martial artist protecting them. However, Zhu Wuyang, the Crown Prince, had the strongest guard beside him who was only at the Perfected Meridian Forging Realm, and he was even a spy of the enemy.
How tragic!
It was not easy for this meeting to end. Just as Zhu Wuyang felt that he could cultivate the Azure Dragon Concealment Art in peace and not be harassed by these fellows outside, an even bigger nightmare arrived.
