He was average and dressed in black. Other than his aged appearance, his appearance was not really worth remembering, but when facing him, Shen Kai felt like he was facing a vast ocean.

"This person's strength is unfathomable!" Dong Mingzhuo's and Hua Zhenbei's strength was a type of frightening power, but this ordinary old man gave people a kind of intimidating power, even though he was an ordinary old man, no one dared to get close to him.

Who were Dong Mingzhuo and Hua Zhenbei? With a stomp of their feet, the entire martial arts world would shake violently. To actually treat a young master with such respect, Shen Kai was secretly shocked by the young master's identity.

"Greetings, Your Highness!" The two of them said in unison.

The Crown Prince of the Nine Continents? No wonder he had the aura of an emperor on her forehead. Shen Kai had never seen a prince of the Nine Continents before, and heard that there were eighteen princes in the Nine Continents. This crown prince was not only the leader of all the princes, she would also become the future ruler of the royal family.

"Your Highness, this is the second in command of the Hundred Escort Alliance. Shen Kai is also one of the new talents in the martial arts world." Just as Shen Kai was stunned, Dong Mingzhuo introduced Shen Kai to the crown prince.

"Uncle, there are no outsiders here. There's no need to have so many rules." The crown prince said to Dong Mingzhuo with a faint smile, and it could be seen that there was still a bit more intimacy between Dong Mingzhuo and Hua Zhenbei.

The Crown Prince actually called Dong Mingzhuo uncle! Shen Kai knew that the Hundred Escort Alliance had an official's background, but he never expected that Dong Mingzhuo's background was the current crown prince.

Although Shen Kai was shocked, he still maintained a calm demeanor. "Shen Kai greets His Highness, the Crown Prince."

"Good, good!"

"Shen Kai, Hua Yang is a newly established Xiu of the Martial Forest. He is a rare talent." The crown prince nodded in praise, looking at Shen Kai with a more appreciative expression.

Afterwards, the Crown Prince and Dong Mingzhuo talked about the matters of the martial arts world and the upcoming general assembly. Although the palace was held high in the air, it was still paying close attention to the matters of the martial arts world.

As the uncle of the Crown Prince, Dong Mingzhuo naturally stood on the side of the Crown Prince, while Hua Zhenbei's Thousand Extinction Sect was one of the forces that the Crown Prince had recruited.

Shen Kai also learned a lot of information. It turned out that the Martial Arts Competition was not only a martial arts competition, but also a competition between many princes that held the power of the martial arts competition. This time, there were five new martial artists, of which, the Hundred Escort Alliance and the Thousand Ultimate Thousand Sect would each take out one, each of them being forces controlled by the crown prince.

The other two were called Chun Tong, a genius from the Northern Martial Sect, and one of them was the Ninth Prince's influence in the martial arts world. The other one was called Yu Chunqiu, a disciple of the Eleventh Prince's Lingyun Sword Sect.

What surprised Shen Kai the most was that there was actually a prince supporting Wuxing Escort Office, and it was the eighth prince, Hong Kong, who was the most threat to the crown prince's position.

Shen Kai did not know about these matters back then. Presumably, it was because the Wuxing Escort Office was recommended by the Golden Mount that they had the Eighth Prince as their backer, and the Eighth Prince, Hong Kong King, had an extraordinary status within the Nine Continents. Although he was inferior to the crown prince, he was the most advantageous candidate for the throne in the future.

Amongst the eighteen princes, other than the crown prince, only the eighth prince had the power to bestow the title of noble king, and with his current position, he had the support of the war achievements on the battlefield, which made him the most powerful prince, even the crown prince had to be wary of, but now, if the eighth prince wanted to take the throne, not only did he have the support of the army and the officials of the imperial court, he also had the influence of the Jianghu. Furthermore, the Wuxing Escort Office, which had a deep foundation, naturally became the eighth prince's first choice. If Shen Kai was still in the Wuxing Escort Office, he would probably be troubled by the crown prince.

"Shen Kai, Hua Yang, this year's Rookie Competition of the Martial Arts Competition is very important, if one of you becomes the champion, not only will you become the wuxiaozhuan, but you will also receive the grace of the royal father, I will reward you greatly." It was only natural to accept the emperor's bestowment. This was originally a martial arts gathering organized by the royal family, and the crown prince's last sentence, with some added reward, was undoubtedly to enter the government grounds. You are my people, so from the moment the two of them entered this house, their positions had already been decided.

"Your Highness, don't worry. Hua Yang will do his best to win honor for the crown prince." Hua Yang immediately expressed his loyalty.

"Shen Kai will definitely do his best!" Shen Kai knew that if he did not say anything at this time, he would not be able to walk out of the house.

was the crown prince's uncle, so with this layer of relationship, it was natural that Dong Mingzhuo and the crown prince were closer than him. He also understood the situation, and gave the two uncle some time to talk.

"Alright, now the outsiders are all gone." After Hua Zhenbei left, the Crown Prince smiled faintly.

It had to be said that the crown prince's every move carried a sense of closeness to Shen Kai, and that sentence of his, as an outsider, brought his own identity closer to Shen Kai. Or rather, it could be said that he did not treat Shen Kai as an outsider.

"Shen Kai, I have often mentioned you in my letters, and seeing you today, you truly are a genius." The crown prince first praised Shen Kai.

"The Crown Prince praises him instantly. Shen Kai is just a martial husband, luckily he has some talent." Shen Kai said humbly.

"Hehe, while it is not bad for a young person to be modest, it is also appropriate for him to be a little arrogant at times. However, you know how to hide your arrogance. You are a rare talent."

The Crown Prince's words were thought-provoking, but Shen Kai guessed what he meant, and did not forget to reply, "The Crown Prince is right."

"I heard Uncle mention that you and my younger cousin have feelings for each other. In the future, you can be considered to be my brother-in-law. You don't have to be apprehensive even if we're family."

With that, he threw another sweet date down. The crown prince's recruiting methods were truly powerful, Shen Kai thought to himself.
