Great Xia: At the start, summon the Net of Heaven to suppress the martial arts world.

Wuji Palace was the first sect to respond to the call and join the Zhenwu Division, so Xia Taige naturally paid close attention to it.

As a Jianghu force representing the Zhenwu Division in suppressing a prefecture, it is closely linked to the future development path of the Zhenwu Division.

Upon hearing Xia Taige's question, Zhao Gao, who was standing to the side, thought for a moment and then replied:

"Your Highness, everything is currently stable. In my opinion, it is perhaps because the Zhenwu Division has displayed formidable strength in recent days that they are wary and have temporarily kept to their own course, daring not to do anything disobedient."

Although it was a power ranked at the bottom of the top ten sects, Zhao Gao still felt that it couldn't be as simple as it seemed.

Xia Taige nodded upon hearing this, then suddenly remembered that the Lord of Wuji Palace also had the surname Xia. He pondered whether he had any connection with the royal family.

"Keep a close eye on them. The Scripture Pavilion within the Zhenwu Division can also be opened to those who have made contributions. We can't just make them work without giving them some benefits."

Xia Taige thought for a moment and then gave Zhao Gao a casual instruction.

"Yes!" Zhao Gao nodded in response.

"Let's go, Lao Huang, I'll take you to try some of Beijing's delicacies!"

After leaving the Zhenwu Division, Xia Taige looked at the bustling street in front of him and suddenly wanted to experience the ancient intelligence center—the restaurant.

In my past life, I saw in movies and TV shows that the most frequent battles between martial arts masters took place in restaurants.

Having been here for so long, Xia Taige has never experienced anything like this before.

As soon as the two stepped into the restaurant, the sharp-eyed waiter noticed Xia Taige's extravagant attire and quickly approached with a beaming smile, greeting him solicitously.

"Oh, what a pleasure to have you two as guests! Do you see there are a few quiet and elegant seats upstairs? Why don't you come up and have a seat?"

Xia Taige nodded slightly and replied, "Well then, I'll trouble you to lead the way, young man."

After saying that, Xia Taige and Jian Jiuhuang followed the waiter up the stairs to the second floor.

As soon as Xia Taige stepped onto the second floor, her gaze swept across the room and was instantly drawn to a private booth near the street and by the window.

Not only does this place offer a wide view overlooking the bustling street below, but the gentle breeze also makes it incredibly pleasant.

"This is fine!" Xia Taige said, pointing.

"Alright." The waiter understood and quickly wiped the tables and chairs down.

After Xia Taige and his companion were seated, the waiter approached with an awkward smile and asked:

"What would you two like to eat?"

"A pot of wine, and a few of my specialty dishes!" Xia Taige replied casually.

"Alright, please wait a moment, gentlemen!" the waiter replied and hurriedly left.

"Your Highness, no restaurant can compare to the skills of the chefs in your palace." Clearly, Jian Jiuhuang still longed for the delicacies of the Eastern Palace.

Upon hearing this, Xia Taige rolled her eyes at him.

"Is this just about food? It's about experiencing nostalgia!"

"Sentiment? What is sentiment?" Jian Jiuhuang stepped forward and asked, bewildered.

Xia Taige shook his head speechlessly and ignored him.

I turned my head and looked down at the bustling street below.

On the streets, there are ruthless martial arts practitioners, hawkers, hurried coachmen, and patrolling officials.

Xia Taige stared blankly at the scene before him.

Just as Xia Taige was lost in thought, a series of voices faintly reached his ears.

"Have you heard? The Wuji Palace, one of the ten great sects of the Great Xia Dynasty, has actually sided with the imperial court!"

"I've heard about it. Who would have thought that this once sacred place of martial arts would now become a lackey of the imperial court!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, what a pity. Back then, I admired the Wuji Palace for a long time."

Xia Taige looked in the direction of the voice and saw the person speaking in a low voice with a regretful expression.

Upon hearing this, Xia Taige couldn't help but find it amusing, but he didn't go forward to argue with the two of them.

Just as I was about to say something, I heard the two of them continue speaking:

"Do you know about the Misty Pavilion? The current disciple of the Misty Pavilion Master is currently undergoing trials in the martial world. I heard that he plans to break through to the Grandmaster realm in one fell swoop."

"How could I not know? It's the second-ranked super sect among the top ten sects of Great Xia. I heard that its sect leader's closed-door disciple is only in his early twenties, yet he is already a master of the Innate Realm. He can be called a prodigy of our time!"

"That's for sure. Among the younger generation, I estimate that only the current Sword Master of the Sword Sect can rival him!"

As Xia Taige listened to their conversation, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Indeed, the saying that restaurants were ancient intelligence centers was absolutely true.

Just as they were about to continue listening to the two men's information, the boy came in carrying dishes.

After placing the four dishes and a wine pot on the table, the boy grinned and said to Xia Taige and Jian Jiuhuang:

"Please enjoy your meal, esteemed guests. These are all signature dishes of our Lanxinglou Restaurant."

After saying that, the waiter smiled, nodded, and left.

Looking at the food and wine in front of him, and recalling the conversation between the two of them, Xia Taige suddenly felt an urge to wander the martial arts world.

As a young person influenced by movies and TV shows from my previous life, who doesn't dream of being a martial arts hero?

As Xia Taige ate the so-called delicacies in front of him, he pondered whether this was feasible.

Currently, the Zhenwu Division is proceeding according to plan, but results will not be seen in the short term.

In the imperial court, a group of people were just executed yesterday. The remaining people still have other uses, so there are no plans to take action against them for the time being.

The Embroidered Uniform Guards are currently idle, so they should be kept in close surveillance.

Although he was the crown prince, with the cabinet and Emperor Xia around, Xia Taige didn't need to worry about political affairs.

If I don't go now, I'll probably have even less of a chance when war breaks out after I ascend the throne.

Now is the perfect time to take advantage of the upcoming release of the Tianji Tower rankings and go check out the excitement in the martial arts world.

With this in mind, Xia Taige felt even more convinced that this was a feasible plan.

In the world of martial arts, who wouldn't want to meet the contemporary saintess or saints when they come to the martial arts world?

For example, Xia Taige was extremely curious about the closed-door disciple of the Pavilion Master of the Misty Pavilion.

Xia Taige's eyes grew brighter with each thought, and he immediately looked at Jian Jiuhuang, who was frowning as he ate his food, and said:

"Old Huang, what do you think about us going on a trip through the martial arts world?"

Upon hearing this, Jian Jiuhuang's expression froze. Looking at Xia Taige, who was eager to try, he cautiously spoke:

"Let's forget it. Your Highness is of noble status now. What if some ignorant person in the martial world offends Your Highness?"

Jian Jiuhuang secretly lamented to himself, having only enjoyed life for a few days, and now Xia Taige was about to suffer in the martial world.

Just think about the delicious food and the dancers in the Eastern Palace, aren't they tempting?

"Aren't you still here?"

Upon hearing this, Jian Jiuhuang felt even more bitter. Just as he was about to offer some words of advice, Xia Taige suddenly thought of something and gave up on the idea.

"Forget it, let's see later. There are so many things to do right now, and Father is already so tired. It would be somewhat inappropriate for the Crown Prince to go out into the martial world at this time."

With this thought in mind, Xia Taige stopped thinking about it and focused on devouring the food in front of her, even though it was far inferior to the food in the palace.
