Dream Picking Records

The party had just calmed down and Wang Xiao and his friends had just exchanged a few pleasantries before the atmosphere was interrupted again before they could even sit down.

"How dare Murong Shang sneak into the imperial city? What is your intention? Come on, capture him for me!" A tall man in black armor shouted sternly.

The person who came was the second commander of the Xiaolong Imperial Guards—Fan Tianwu.

What's going on? Yang Shuan was puzzled. He didn't like Fan Tianwu, but because of his status, he couldn't turn his face. He said expressionlessly: "Commander Fan, did you make a mistake? He is a very important guest of Yingling."

Wang Fushou also added: "What's more, Brother Xiao just helped us defeat the Five Tyrants of the Demon Clan. Everyone present can testify to this."

"This is the intelligence I received. I will know whether it is right or wrong after I have examined it."

"Perhaps he staged all this himself, just to get close to the prince and princess. As far as I know, he used the identity of Murong Shang in the Chaos Realm. Murong Shang not only has blood on his hands, but also has an unclear relationship with the Purgatory Wolf."

"I wonder who ordered Commander Fan to go to Yingling's banquet to arrest someone?"

Xia Daoling stood out from the crowd, followed by the angry Xia Qingling.

As the core force of the Imperial City, the Xiaolong Imperial Guard guards the stability of the Imperial City. As the second commander, Fan Tianwu's status is higher than that of ordinary people. After he saluted Xia Daoling, he stood straight and symbolically shook off the dust.

"Except for His Majesty and the Crown Prince, the Second Prince probably doesn't have the right to directly question the Snapdragon Army, right?"

"You are really loyal to my elder brother." Xia Daoling glanced at Pan Chengfeng who was standing aside as if nothing had happened.

"Regarding Murong Shang's matter, I am only handling it impartially. Please don't embarrass me, Second Prince."

Fan Tianwu is in his early thirties and has reached the eighth level of Guiyuan. His talent is considered excellent and he has few rivals among his peers. He has risen rapidly all the way to his current position and is naturally arrogant.

"Oh? What are you going to do with me?"

Wang Xiao asked with interest, and at the same time asked Xia Daoling, Yang Shuan and others to relax and not worry about him.

Fan Tianwu ignored his expression and continued to shout, "If you surrender obediently, you can suffer less physical pain. Otherwise, I will have to arrest you according to the law!"

"You have laid out the path for me, but... I can't walk on either of them."

"Then you can't blame me!"

Fan Tianwu sneered, and before others could recover from the shock, he had already charged a thunderous attack in an instant. He decided to take him down first. As long as he had him in his hands, it would not matter whether Wang Xiao was Murong Shang or not.

The purple-red patterns on the hammer intertwined, and occasionally emitted terrifying power that fluctuated above Wang Xiao's head. Fan Tianwu was confident that not many people at the same level as him could withstand this blow, let alone a cultivator at the fifth level of Guiyuan.

Everyone who reacted was filled with worry, but it was too late to take action.

At some point, Wang Xiao had a token in his hand, which was the one Xia Qingling had given him. Judging from how much Elder Xia valued it, the token was definitely not just for passing through the palace, and he also discovered the mystery behind it in his spare time.

As the spiritual energy was injected, the token was activated instantly.

"Roar!"

The loud dragon roar resounded through heaven and earth, and several golden dragon-shaped spiritual energy gushed out and hit the iron hammer.

The iron hammer that was so powerful in the last second suddenly became like a wilted eggplant and was blown into pieces. It was also knocked back hundreds of meters along with Fan Tianwu.

There was only a bloodstain left at the scene.

Not long after, Fan Tianwu, dressed in black and with disheveled hair, returned to the garden with a broken hammer in his hand, glaring at Wang Xiao fiercely.

But this time he didn't dare to make any extra moves, and looked at the token in doubt. As the second commander of the Xiaolong Imperial Guard, he knew how powerful it was. Holding the token bestowed by Emperor Xia, he could mobilize the power accumulated in the formation in the imperial city. No matter how amazing he was, he could not defeat the power of the formation.

Feng Tingjun couldn't help teasing the arrogant Fan Tianwu when he saw him become like this. He took a bite of the spiritual fruit and mumbled, "What's his name? Fan Wuji?"

"you……"

"What are you talking about? If you don't agree, just continue." Wang Xiao stepped forward with his left foot, and several golden dragons circled around him.

Fan Tianwu was furious, his face turned ashen and veins on his forehead were bulging. He almost couldn't help but attack again, but when he saw Wang Xiao touching the token, his expression froze instantly.

"stop!"

At this moment, a male voice woke him up. However, he just relaxed from his previous state, and after seeing who was coming, he took advantage of the situation to get out of the way. Fan Tianwu symbolically bowed to the visitor and retreated not far from Pan Chengfeng.

The man looked very similar to Xia Daoling, but his cultivation and temperament were very different. He saw Fan Tianwu's attitude, but did not show it much.

"Brother Royal."

"I have met His Highness the Crown Prince."

Xia Daoling, Xia Yingling, Xia Qingling, as well as the five young masters of the imperial city and the children of officials represented by Pan Chengfeng saluted at the same time.

The man was none other than Xia Yuling, the current crown prince of Daxia.

"No need to do that. This is Ying Ling's birthday party. Everyone, just relax and address each other as peers."

Xia Yuling nodded to the three brothers and sisters as a greeting, and then he turned his gaze to the five little demons including Mi Xin and Xue Han.

"You guys have had enough fighting. Since you are here, please stay. It is not our way to treat guests to be expelled."

After hearing this, a few people whispered to each other and then chose a seat and sat down.

The banquet was in full swing, Xia Yuling, Xia Daoling and Xia Yingling were drinking and chatting happily with the younger generation present. Xia Qingling didn't like this kind of scene and chose to stay with Wang Xiao and others.

"interesting."

Wang Xiao looked at Crown Prince Xia Yuling, who was too close to Pan Chengfeng, and suddenly thought of the question that Emperor Xia asked him that day, and couldn't help but murmured in a low voice.

"What's interesting?"

Xia Qingling followed his gaze, puzzled.

Wang Xiao did not answer but asked: "What is your impression of your elder brother?"

"I remember that when I was a kid, Brother Yuling was very kind to me. Whenever he had time, he would bring me some strange and bizarre things. But later on, he was mostly busy with court affairs, so he had less and less time to communicate with us."

Xia Qingling first thought about it with regret, then said angrily: "Humph, he is very close to Pan Chengfeng now, but there is nothing good in their Pan family."

As she spoke, she bared her teeth and glared fiercely, but at her age, she didn't look intimidating at all.

At this time, Xia Yingling came over and gently stroked her little head.

"Qingling, some things cannot be said nonsense. What you and I can do is to trust our father, practice well, and share his worries in the future."

"Yeah." Xia Qingling nodded obediently.

Looking around, Xia Yuling and Xia Daoling were standing on each side, while the people in the garden, some stood on Xia Yuling's side, and some surrounded Xia Daoling.

The sunlight fell on the two of them, and their shadows were very long.

"Why does it smell so familiar?"

Suddenly, Wang Xiao approached Xia Qingling suspiciously, his nose twitched slightly, and he sniffed twice.

"Shh."

"Snapped!"

Defensive looks were accompanied by the sound of crisp slaps.

Xia Daoling teleported to Xia Qingling's side and stopped her behind him, while Xia Yingling gently rubbed her slightly swollen hands.

Instead, Wang Xiao bared his teeth and hissed first: "As expected of a master listed on the Purple Sea Bamboo Forest Stele, it hurts so much."

Xia Yingling glared at him angrily, it was obviously she who was injured.

"Yingling, are you okay?"

Yang Shuan noticed it immediately and showed concern, which made Wang Xiao feel heartbroken.

"Brother Yang, I'm the one who gets beaten!"

"You deserve it. You asked for it by suddenly getting close to Qing Ling for no reason. Besides, no one can beat you with such a thick skin."

On the other side, although Xia Daoling did not move, the look in his eyes said it all. It was Wang Xiao. If it were anyone else, he would have already fallen to the ground. Even so, the defensive meaning was obvious.

Wang Xiao’s face no longer hurt, he scratched his head and said: “Brother Daoling, when I was in the palace, my treasure left me. I just sensed its aura on Qingling’s body, so…”

"Oh, that bone box you're talking about. It just flew over and flew away. It seemed like it came to see me, its old friend, for the last time before going on to pursue its dream."

"It's the puppy who lies."

"Wang Wang."

Xia Qingling turned around nimbly, hid behind Xia Daoling and made faces at him.

"Stop making trouble, Qingling. I think the bone box is very important to Young Master Wang. You should return it to him." Xia Yingling said softly.

Xia Daoling looked at the scene in front of him, calm but with a hint of jealousy, and spoke rarely.

"Although the treasure of Yunshan Academy is great, it is not without rivals. I will find you the best in the world in the future."

"Brother Daoling, how do you recognize it?"

Xia Qingling's mind worked quickly and she soon realized something, then her eyes turned red.

"Ah! Could it be... I was wondering why that person looked so familiar to me when we were in the academy? It turns out you were the one following me around."

The little girl sobbed and hugged him. Xia Daoling was stunned and looked down at his most beloved sister.
