However, for the greater good, Long Zheng managed to suppress his temper and smiled gentlemanly as he said to Ling Mo Xie, "I see. However, this also shows that you have quite a close relationship with the princess, which you cannot deny."
Hearing Long Zheng's words, Ling Mo Xie felt somewhat speechless and looked at Long Zheng in front of him with some suspicion. Could this guy really be the Eldest Young Master of the capital? His temper shouldn't be this good.
"What exactly do you want? If I can help, considering I’ve had a meal with you, I will do my best. As you said, I am a straightforward person, so there’s no need to beat around the bush with me."
Ling Mo Xie said calmly to Long Zheng.
Long Zheng paused for a moment and decided not to beat around the bush anymore. He said to Ling Mo Xie, "To be honest, my grandfather intends for me to marry the princess, and His Majesty has already tacitly approved of this. The only issue is with the princess... If your relationship with her is good, I hope you can help facilitate this. Once it’s done, I will definitely not treat you poorly!"
Long Zheng stared intently at Ling Mo Xie as he spoke, his tone carrying a hint of threat.
However, Ling Mo Xie was completely unfazed by his threat. He glanced at him and thought to himself that tacit approval meant no clear stance! The Long Family was truly being overly sentimental; did Long Zheng really think he could ask for his help in this matter?
"I'm afraid I can't help with this. After all, my relationship with the princess isn't that close yet, and this should be your own matter. How could anyone else possibly assist you?"
Ling Mo Xie replied to Long Zheng in a calm manner before standing up and preparing to leave with Hong Chi.
"Stop!" Seeing Ling Mo Xie's attitude, Long Zheng felt furious and shouted at him.
Ling Mo Xie halted his steps and turned to look at Long Zheng, raising an eyebrow as he asked, "What? Do you have something else?"
Long Zheng opened his mouth; should he threaten Ling Mo Xie to help him now? But his relationship with the princess...
Long Zheng glanced at Hong Chi beside Ling Mo Xie. An idea crossed his mind as he approached with a feigned smile and patted Hong Chi's shoulder, saying, "This... this kid is quite cute. Perhaps I might not be able to resist my affection and occasionally invite him out to 'play.'"
"Ouch!" Long Zheng felt annoyed; his grip unconsciously tightened a bit more, causing Hong Chi to shout out.
Ling Mo Xie glanced at Long Zheng, coldly laughing to himself, thinking that this guy had threatened the wrong person.
However, Long Zheng was entirely focused on Ling Mo Xie and did not hear Hong Chi's voice at all.
Seeing that Long Zheng had no intention of apologizing, Hong Chi felt a surge of anger, and a flickering red light like flames appeared in his eyes...
"Ah!" Long Zheng suddenly screamed, raising the hand that had struck Hong Chi, jumping around and shouting.
Ling Mo Xie looked at the Three Flavors True Fire burning on Long Zheng's hand, snorted coldly, and turned to leave with Hong Chi.
The middle-aged man was momentarily stunned by Long Zheng's cries. After seeing Ling Mo Xie and Hong Chi preparing to leave, he quickly approached them, channeling his spiritual energy to attack Ling Mo Xie.
Ling Mo Xie shot him a glare and cast a binding spell on him, instantly immobilizing him. After all, he was just a minor character; how powerful could he be?
With no one to stop them, Ling Mo Xie and Hong Chi naturally left.
Soon, Ling Mo Xie brought Hong Chi to the front of the palace, where people sent by the princess were already waiting. There were no disturbances along the way, and they quickly followed the princess's attendants to the Fuhua Palace, where the princess resided.
"Ling Mo Xie! You finally made it! I've found the location on the treasure map and have sent many people to scout the area. What have you been busy with? Honestly!"
Before anyone could report, as soon as Ling Mo Xie and Hong Chi arrived at the hall, the princess rushed out and began scolding Ling Mo Xie.
At that moment, a Palace Maid ran over, seemingly wanting to report something to Dongfang Siyu, but hesitated because of Ling Mo Xie's presence.
Dongfang Siyu noticed the hesitation of the Palace Maid, and impatiently said, "If you have something to say, just say it. This princess is very busy; I still need to take Mo Xie to see Father!"
The palace maid then respectfully lowered her head and said, "I indeed have something to report, it is... about Young Master Ling."
Upon hearing the maid's words, Dongfang Siyu was momentarily taken aback, but her interest was piqued. She said, "What is it? Hurry up and tell me, are you trying to keep me in suspense?"
Hearing Dongfang Siyu's words, the maid looked terrified and repeatedly said she didn't dare.
Ling Mo Xie smiled helplessly and said, "What is it that concerns me? Just say it directly!"
The maid nodded repeatedly and said, "It's like this: Young Master Ling has been refining the Qingyuan Pill in Tianfeng City, helping the citizens of the city. This news has spread, and the Daoist sect has heard about it. They personally sent a decree to promote Young Master Ling's deeds and to honor him. Moreover, the sect leader praised him as a saintly healer with exceptional alchemy skills and is preparing to grant him the Wen Dao Order. With the sect leader's endorsement, Young Master Ling's reputation has spread throughout the world. Many wandering cultivators even call him the Little Pill King, achieving what even the Azure Emperor's sect could not."
Upon hearing the maid's words, Ling Mo Xie was astonished. What? A good reputation that has spread everywhere? How come he didn't know about this?
Dongfang Siyu also had a stunned expression after hearing what the maid said. After a while, she stiffly turned her head and looked at Ling Mo Xie strangely, saying, "What have you been doing? It turns out you accomplished such a great feat!"
Ling Mo Xie forced a smile and said, "What great feat? I had no idea! And what is this Daoist sect, this Wen Dao Order, and this Little Pill King? What are those things?"
Ling Mo Xie was indeed speaking the truth. He refined the Qingyuan Pill to help the citizens of Tianfeng City partly out of his conscience and partly to complete a System task to receive rewards. He never thought that this would bring him any other benefits.
Seeing that Ling Mo Xie truly looked confused, Dongfang Siyu fixed her gaze on him and said, "Come with me; let's go into the hall where I can explain everything to you."
The group entered Dongfang Siyu's Fuhua Palace. She invited them to sit down and had tea served. After taking a sip of tea in silence, she prepared to explain everything to Ling Mo Xie.
