Creation of the Universe

After killing Zhao Yunfeng and others, Shen Zhan was not in a hurry to return to the Jinning Palace.

At present, Shen Jingming is still on his way out with King Jinning. When he returns, he will learn about what happened in Wubei City, and he will definitely be furious.

This is because Zhao Yunfeng is his highly valued confidant, and is also his right-hand man who will be entrusted with important tasks after he inherits the throne in the future. Now that both the father and son of the Zhao family have been killed, his strength has been weakened.

In Wubei City, apart from the Zhao family father and son, not many people really know Shen Zhan's true identity, and Shen Jingming has never taken him seriously.

Therefore, Shen Jingming would definitely be shocked by Zhao Yunfeng's death and would go to great lengths to investigate.

Well, let Shen Jingming mess around first. Shen Zhan is happy to be at ease. When the trial officially begins, he will naturally appear in front of Shen Jingming and settle all the past grudges with him.

"Brother, tell me what my sister likes. No matter how valuable the item is, I will find it for her!"

On this day, Jia Zhong accompanied Shen Zhan walking on the streets of Wubei City. Last time, Shen Zhan said that he wanted to buy a gift for his sister Shen Yunli, but unfortunately he met Zhao Yunfeng and others on the way and was delayed.

The two happened to pass by a pastry shop at this time, and Shen Zhan said, "Let's go in and take a look."

This shop sells a wide variety of pastries and teas, but Shen Zhan immediately fell in love with the pastry called Rouge Pastry. In the original body's memory, Shen Yunli's favorite pastry was this kind of exquisite delicacy that exuded the fragrance of peach blossoms and had a layer of rouge on the surface.

In the past, there were often rouge pastries in Prince Jin’s Mansion, but Shen Yunli rarely had the chance to taste them, as most of them were taken away by other brothers and sisters.

Thinking of these sad past events, Shen Zhan couldn't help but feel extremely sympathetic. Shen Yunli was a well-behaved and sensible girl, and she also maintained a pure and kind heart, which was precious. She should not be treated so coldly.

"Give me two boxes and wrap them up."

"This is my sister's favorite pastry."

Upon hearing this, Jia Zhong immediately said to the shop assistant, "Call out the person who made this pastry in your shop. I will pay him five times more than he is making now to go to Jinning and make rouge pastries for my brother and sister!"

The guy glanced at Jia Zhong and Shen Zhan. The former was a whole generation older than the latter, but the former kept calling the latter "big brother", which was really unbelievable.

Shen Zhan quickly stopped her, saying, "Don't be so exaggerated. You shouldn't spend money like this. Besides, we don't need to have such a person around us. It's too inconvenient."

"Oh, that's true."

Jia Zhong thought for a moment and said, "How about this? I'll just buy this shop. Whenever my sister wants to eat Rouge Pastry, she can send someone to let me know. I promise to pack it up and send it to the palace immediately."

Shen Zhan sometimes felt a little uncomfortable with Jia Zhong's enthusiasm, but this guy meant well, and he couldn't just reject him.

After buying the gifts, Shen Zhan planned to set off tomorrow and slowly return to Jinning.

He could foresee that his unauthorized departure would definitely be used by Shen Jingming to make a big fuss, not to mention that there was a hypocritical queen behind that boy who was sweet-mouthed but treacherous.

When he said goodbye to the Jia father and son and officially left Wubei City, Jia Zhong reluctantly saw him out of the city.

"Brother, if you leave like this, I don't know when we'll see each other again. Besides, King Beiye is eyeing us covetously. I'm really worried that I can't handle it."

Jia Zhong said worriedly.

Shen Zhan patted his shoulder and encouraged him, "Now you are also a person with cultivation, plus two third-grade spiritual weapons at your disposal. No matter how hard King Beiye plans to deal with the Jia family, he must first consider whether he can win.

You just need to continue to practice diligently as I say, and you will definitely make progress. Then the Jia family will rely on you for protection."

Jia Zhong was encouraged and said happily, "It's all thanks to Big Brother's good teaching. After Big Brother completes the trial, we must find a chance to have another drink!"

Shen Zhan turned his horse around, said goodbye to Jia Zhong, and started his journey back to the Jinning Palace.

Along the way, he rode his horse at will, stopping and walking as he pleased. The journey that should have taken two days ended up taking five days.

On the one hand, Shen Zhan knew that Shen Yunli had not returned yet and it would be boring for him to go back to the palace alone. On the other hand, he was also seizing the time to strengthen his body so that he could break through the restrictions of this body on improving his cultivation.

During the process of refining his body, his cultivation level has improved a lot. If everything goes well, there is a very good hope that he can break through to the spiritual realm in the refining test.

Finally, in the afternoon of that day, Shen Zhan appeared again outside Jining City.

As he expected, someone was already waiting for him at the city gate, and the leader was Shen Jingdong, the tenth son of King Jinning.

Shen Jingdong is the same age as Shen Yunli, but their personalities are completely opposite.

Shen Jingdong was cunning and crafty at a young age, and was very good at currying favor with the powerful, so he defected to the prince Shen Jingming early on and became a lackey of the latter. Now that he appeared here, Shen Zhan naturally knew why.

"Myna, you are finally back. I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Shen Jingdong waved a paper fan in his hand and greeted them with a smile. People who didn't know the real situation would think that the relationship between the two brothers was very deep.

But in fact, Shen Jingdong is a little kid with a big imagination. He has always been following Shen Jingming around. He is also cold and sarcastic to Shen Zhan and will take advantage of him whenever he gets the chance.

Shen Zhan asked calmly, "Is Tenth Brother waiting for me here on purpose? Or is he preparing to capture me?"

"Myna, you're joking. How could I arrest you? As a prince, you can't leave Jinning City without permission, but you knowingly broke the law. If my father knew about this, he would definitely be furious and punish you."

"Leaving Jinning City without permission?"

Shen Zhan also laughed, but asked Shen Jingdong, "What's the origin of this? Seeing that the time for the palace refining test is approaching, I just went up the mountain to intensify my training, hoping to improve my cultivation."

"Leaving the city is leaving the city. No matter where you go, you've violated the ban. How are you going to explain this to Father?"

Shen Jingdong was aggressive and showed no intention of giving up. In the past, he relied on Shen Jingming's support to act without any scruples.

"In that case, Tenth Brother, how do you think I should remedy this?"

"That's easy. Come back with me. When the prince comes back, you can kowtow and admit your mistake in front of him. We will naturally conceal the past for the sake of our brotherhood. How do you do that?"

Shen Zhan replied: "I don't think so."
