Throughout the entire south, everyone knows Wu Lande. His merchant caravan consists of hundreds of people and hundreds of carriages, all bearing the insignia of the Holy Empire. Anyone with a modicum of sense recognizes General Wu Lande, for behind him is the Holy Empire.

However, there are still some blind people, only the other party is too powerful.

He was determined to avenge this, no matter who it was. He would return to the Holy Empire, ask the Emperor for help, and have a group of powerful figures come. He believed that capturing someone would not be difficult.

Furthermore, he knew that what he had done had aroused the wrath of both heaven and man, and that countless people in the Illusionary Moon Empire secretly hated him.

He decided that once his injuries improved slightly, he would prepare to return to the Holy Empire, for only once he reached the Empire would he be truly safe.

In the room, he berated the head guard, Lü Lun, mercilessly, completely forgetting who had risked their life to protect him and help him escape to this place.

At this moment, the steward Wu Dahai said, "Master, now that we're here, why don't we ask someone to help us find those things and deal with that person?"

"Here? Who are you going to find? Don't you know that little bastard is too powerful?" Wu Lande was furious. A sharp pain struck him, and he cried out, "Ouch!"

Wu Dahai said, "Master, have you forgotten that the two princes and the princess are at Red Moon Academy?"

Wu Lande's eyes lit up immediately. The two princes and Princess Lixue were his own nephews.

My uncle was injured and his belongings were stolen. In addition, he is not well-liked in this place and is afraid that someone with ulterior motives will harm him. If the prince and princess come, it will be a different story. No matter what, the Illusion Moon Empire would not dare to do anything to me in front of the prince and princess.

"Then why don't you hurry up and go?" Wu Lande snapped.

"Yes, sir, I will go to the academy immediately to fetch the prince and princess."

The butler bowed, turned, and left.

Wu Lande glared at Lü Lun, then snorted.

As the head of the guards, he knew that the general's injury and the great loss were capital offenses. He had to protect the general's safety, otherwise his entire family would be wiped out. He couldn't help but feel a deep hatred for the boy who killed him halfway.

When the two princes, Li Fei and Li Zhijie, saw that their uncle's steward, Wu Dahai, had come looking for them and heard what the steward had said, they hurriedly went to find Princess Lixue. Their only uncle was injured, and the three of them rushed to Bachen.

When his third nephew arrived, Wu Lande tearfully recounted his story, embellishing it to portray the boy, who appeared out of nowhere, as a demon from hell, a ruthless murderer and an utterly wicked person, while he himself was the most wronged person in the world.

The three princes and princesses had been raised by Wu Lande since childhood. Every time their uncle returned from a trip, he would bring back many good things for them. As their only uncle, they naturally had a very good relationship. Now that they saw their uncle lying injured in bed, they had to avenge him and bring that person to justice.

The two princes asked about the boy, and upon hearing Wu Lande's account, they learned that there was only one other person, and that he was a boy of sixteen or seventeen years old.

The two princes and Lixue looked at each other, feeling uneasy, but then thought it was probably impossible.

When asked for more details, Wu Lande, still in shock, knew little and summoned the head guard, Lü Lun.

"Greetings, Your Highness, Prince and Princess." Lü Lun entered and bowed to them respectively.

"Alright, tell me more about that boy," Li Fei said, his face stern.

Seeing Wu Lande nod, Lü Lun said, "Yes, Your Highness, this person looks to be sixteen or seventeen years old. He is thin and has an ordinary face, but the iron sword in his hand is somewhat different from that of ordinary people."

"How is it different?" Li Fei asked.

Lu Lun said, "The longsword in his hand is less than two fingers wide, extremely narrow, and longer than the swords of ordinary bards."

"However, this is not what makes him special, but his martial arts skills. Not only are his attacks ruthless, but he is also extremely agile, and his figure can leap freely in the air. The martial arts he uses do not contain any battle qi, and he does not seem like a cultivator."

These days, Lixue has been thinking about the Emperor. The Empire will naturally come to the Emperor, otherwise, what will become of the Empire's reputation? Her father and mother will also have no face to face this maternal uncle.

"What's wrong, Lixue? Do you know this person?" Wu Lande asked in surprise when he saw her expression.

Lixue didn't know how to answer, so she said, "Uncle, I'm not feeling well." After saying that, she quickly left.

Knowing that the matter concerned the emperor, Li Fei said to Wu Lande, "Uncle, rest assured and recover from your injuries. Whoever it is, they will definitely give you an explanation."

The two princes left the room and found Li Xue. Li Fei said, "Royal sister, I know about your affair with the Emperor, but the person inside is our only maternal uncle."

"Furthermore, the Emperor openly attacked the Imperial Consortium. I just heard from my uncle that the convoy was covered with the marks of our Holy Empire. Anyone who doesn't recognize them should recognize them too, including the Emperor."

"But he even dared to rob and kill, what about the dignity of our empire? Is the emperor really fearless and no one dares to kill him?"

"Second brother, do you really have to..." Li Xue was deeply saddened, and when pressed by her brother, she didn't know how to answer.

“That’s right. The empire’s prestige has not been damaged because of us. We should be the ones to maintain it. We are princes, and you are a princess of the empire. You must always remember your place.”

At this moment, the Third Prince Li Zhijie said, "Yes, my sister, I know that your relationship with the Emperor is extraordinary, but he has offended the Empire, and Father will not let him off. Think about your status, and how you will face Mother when you go back?"

Upon hearing this, Lixue burst into tears and sobbed softly, "Alright, but please, my two royal brothers, let me go find him first."

"Royal sister, what do you want with the Emperor? Is there any need to ask? Could it be that what your uncle said is false?" Li Fei was somewhat angry.

"Brother, I didn't mean it, it's just, it's just..." Seeing her brother's anger, Lixue felt even more wronged and burst into tears.

“Brother, let your sister go to see the Emperor,” Li Zhijie said.

Seeing Li Xue in tears, Li Fei felt a pang of pity, but he knew that his sister and the emperor were no longer a couple. He figured it was better to end it now than to suffer for a long time. Even if the emperor was a genius, so what?

The empire is supreme; so what if they are princesses and princes-in-law?

After a while, he said, "Royal sister, I hope you remember your place and never do anything to disappoint Father and Mother."

As for Wang Mu, he returned to the city and arrived at the Princess's mansion a few hours after Princess Lixue went to Bachen.

Li Yili had been waiting for him at the mansion. When she saw the letter and realized it was indeed the evidence, she was overjoyed. Knowing the importance of these things, she immediately took Wang Mu to the palace.

Actually, she also had her own selfish motives. The emperor's retrieval of the letter was a great achievement. When she went to the emperor, she boasted about how the emperor would do this and that. At that time, Li Ao just went along with the princess's wishes and didn't take it seriously at all.

Emperor Leo received the letter and could not believe that it was written by the young man before him.
