I am a living immortal.

This immediately provided another reason to participate in the upcoming martial arts tournament. This prince was already a master, which was much more attractive than just the title of a simple prince.

This martial arts competition will definitely be exciting and exciting.

The farce that started out came to an end at this moment, but the bustle in Jiading Prefecture remained unabated.

A group of detectives came in and tidied up the messy streets caused by the battle, making them look brand new, as if the thrilling battle was just someone else's imagination.

Regardless of what others thought, the people at the stalls were grinning from ear to ear. They didn't care if anyone died or not, they just knew that this place would be a check-in spot for many swindlers, and they were going to get rich.

Chen Tao, who witnessed the entire process, couldn't help but sigh, "It was truly a rollercoaster ride." The news that the prince was a martial arts master would soon spread throughout Dayu. The martial arts trend was finally taking off.

The prefect of Jiading Prefecture returned to his composure, as if he was not the one on the verge of death before.

Chen Tao recorded the whole process.

The fleeing civilians once again filled the streets, and the restaurant was filled with the sound of discussion. Su Mu and the other three continued to eat. After all, this farce didn't last long, only a few incense sticks at most.

If the prince had not been exposed, it might have been longer.

Chen Tao's heart was surging at this moment.

"If someone didn't know, they would have thought it was you who turned the tide just now." The old goat looked at the other person and laughed.

"You don't understand." Chen Tao was not angry. He was still immersed in his own world, so intoxicated that he didn't even touch the delicious food on the table.

Su Mu and the old goat and the others didn't feel anything special. They ate and drank as usual, everything was very natural and normal.

until……

Chen Tao came out of his trance and looked in one direction. He had a strong intuition that someone was coming, looking for them. He turned to look at Su Mu and the others. Their expressions were natural, but they had all put down their chopsticks. He knew his intuition was correct.

Someone really came. It seems that what the old goat gave him was even more powerful than he had imagined.

The lively atmosphere on the fourth floor remains unchanged.

But outside the bustle, a figure approached from the stairwell, the sound of shoes stepping on the wooden stairs was obvious. Before anyone could react, the figure had already arrived in front of the table where Su Mu and the others were sitting.

Chen Tao recognized him as an old eunuch.

Facing the gaze, the old eunuch remained calm and composed. He nodded and stated his purpose directly without any unnecessary words: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wishes to invite you all to a conversation."

"No, we're not interested." The old goat also refused bluntly.

This straightforwardness actually made the old eunuch's eyes, which had been lowered all the time, lift up a little. This old eunuch had served people all his life, and it had become a habit for him to be humble and submissive. He behaved like this with everyone he met, but this did not mean that he was showing weakness.

Judging from the opponent's movement that allowed him to reach their table without many people noticing, he was also a master.

However, whether they were experts or not was of no concern to the old goat and his companions. They were here to watch the fun, simply to watch the fun. Su Mu and Shen Long were physically present, but their minds were largely lost in their own self-awareness.

Su Mu had initially suppressed all the treasures he had acquired in the Ghost Market of the Nether Ruins within his inner world. He was now using most of his mind to extract the principles within the treasures and fill them with his inner world. The various treasures mingled together, creating a chaotic mess within his body. While it wasn't a complete glutton, it was still quite chaotic. Alternatively, this time, the harvest was so vast and diverse that it would take some time.

Otherwise, I wouldn't be idle and come out to watch the fun.

But if they wanted to be lively, that was definitely impossible. However, they underestimated the old eunuch's persistence.

He didn't argue or try to persuade them, simply standing there in front of their table, like a mere ornament. If it weren't for his breath, his perfect blend into the background would have been easily overlooked. This might also be related to the cultivation method he was practicing.

The waiter hurried past, and the old eunuch turned aside. The waiter was completely unaware. Seeing the other party's persistence, Old Shank and Su Mu turned their eyes to Chen Tao, who was pretending to eat quietly.

The old eunuch's eyes also fell on him, which made him feel very pressured.

Chen Tao laughed awkwardly twice: "Don't pay attention to me, you guys chat about your own things, whatever you want."

"........."

No one spoke, just looked at him.

"Do I have to go?" Chen Tao groaned inwardly.

Su Mu and Old Goat turned their gaze towards the old eunuch again.

The old eunuch nodded. Chen Tao sighed and resigned himself to his fate. He'd pick on the weak; Su Mu, the old goat, and the dazed Mirage Dragon would definitely not go. The old eunuch understood this, and he also knew that he probably couldn't keep them by himself. He also had a mission to complete, so he couldn't return empty-handed. So, as a second-best option, letting Chen Tao go wasn't a bad idea. After all, those who could eat at the same table were bound to have some connection. Having an extra middleman wouldn't be a bad idea.

We are all smart people and can understand what I mean just by looking at each other.

Chen Tao is not stupid, he understands it too.

"Then... let's go." Chen Tao accepted his fate and did not hesitate. He put the food in the bowl into his mouth, chewed it a few times and swallowed it, then drank the tea in the cup. He stood up and signaled the old eunuch to lead the way.

Su Mu even said, "I'll treat you to a meal next time!"

Chen Tao nodded. This wasn't meant for Chen Tao, but for the old lady to listen in, to reassure him that they and Chen Tao weren't just casual acquaintances.

Although Su Mu could have ignored all of this, she was still going to be in Jiading Prefecture for a while, so she still had to socialize. She doubted the other party would give up if she ignored them completely. Having Chen Tao as her spokesperson would also save her a lot of worry.

The key is... it's not difficult, just a few words.

If it was troublesome, they wouldn't bother.

Chen Tao and the old eunuch's departure did not cause any trouble at all, and no one noticed it at all.

Outside the restaurant, the entire Jiading Prefecture was ablaze with excitement over this failed assassination attempt. Masters and hermits, previously uninterested, emerged one after another. The martial arts tournament was steadily building to a climax. From all corners of the world, from all directions, the closest encounter between the martial arts world and the imperial court, and also the largest such encounter, unfolded in this manner.

The people from all walks of life gathered in Jiading Prefecture.
