Longevity Family: Let Her Live At The Beginning, Let Her Live

Just came out of the Myriad Treasures Chamber of Commerce, and another beautiful woman came towards me.

"Prince Jiuyang, I didn't expect you to really come to the imperial city. I heard that Thirteen has already visited you, is that true?" The person who came was Princess Zhao Ren. This woman had a petite figure, standing just over 1.6 meters tall, but she was extremely cute, especially her appearance, which seemed to have walked out of a painting.

Zhang Ran was a little confused. "I don't know who this young lady is?"

"I forgot to introduce myself. I am Princess Zhao Ren."

Another princess, Zhang Ran's heart skipped a beat. Why are there so many princesses coming to find him today?

"Princess, is there something urgent for you to find this prince so late?" Zhang Ran was not angry, but rather very humble, making people feel very comfortable.

"Prince Jiuyang is indeed a reasonable person, and doesn't mind me being presumptuous. I do have a request, I wonder if I can talk to the prince in detail." Princess Zhao Ren showed a look of longing, her watery eyes staring straight at Zhang Ran. Her already cute face made people want to protect her.

In this scene, 99% of men would decisively agree.

But Zhang Ran's heart was calm and unmoved.

"Well then, princess, let's discuss it in detail at my residence." Zhang Ran just wanted to see what she needed.

"Thank you."

The two women behind, Su Su and Wang Ling, said in a strange tone, "Prince, we'll go and see if it's cloudy."

Zhang Ran understood that they were blaming him for not accompanying them. "Don't worry, I'll be quick."

"Hmph." The two women couldn't be bothered to pay attention to him and walked away.

Zhang Ran and Princess Zhao Ren arrived at the prince's residence in the imperial city.

This was the Ninth Prince's residence, which had always been taken care of. It was the mansion in the imperial city, but it wasn't big, only about 100,000 square meters in size.

This was Zhang Ran's first time coming here, and this mansion had always been empty.

When the servants and stewards in the mansion saw Zhang Ran, they were all in a panic and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Prince Jiuyang."

Zhang Ran brought Princess Zhao Ren to the backyard of the mansion.

After sitting down, Princess Zhao Ren unexpectedly approached and said, "Prince Jiuyang, why did you bring me here so deep?"

"Isn't it you who mentioned going deep?" Zhang Ran didn't take the initiative with these princesses. In fact, he was worried that Emperor Qian would blame him. After all, they were his precious daughters, so he didn't dare to be too proactive.

If he didn't have Emperor Qian's consent, if he were to be blamed, his reputation would be ruined.

Zhang Ran could handle this kind of situation freely. After all, he had too much experience. He just wondered about Princess Zhao Ren's behavior. He always felt that there was a purpose behind it.

So he changed the topic and said, "Princess, I'm sure you have something to ask for. Let's get straight to the point. Moreover, we are right under the imperial city. If something happens to you, and His Majesty blames me, I won't be able to explain."

"Hehe." Princess Zhao Ren chuckled, "So Prince Jiuyang is also afraid sometimes. Don't worry, His Majesty has many children, and they all have a broad-minded view. As long as it's something we want, he won't interfere. So you can rest assured."

Zhang Ran understood what she meant by being so straightforward, but the more she was like this, the more he needed to stay calm. He thought to himself that this person definitely had a problem. Although he knew he was handsome, it was still rare for someone to be so forward, especially considering her status.

"Princess, if you don't state your purpose soon, I will have to send you away."

Princess Zhao Ren snorted arrogantly, "Prince, you really don't know how to appreciate. But indeed, there is one thing. I am very interested in the art of formations, so I want to come to you to learn."

This matter? It's made so strange. Zhang Ran couldn't help but be speechless, so he could only say, "Alright then, if the princess wants to learn, after the matters here are finished, you can come to my Zhang family in Beiyuan."

"Prince, you're straightforward. When can I go?"

"After two months, I'll be quite busy. When I go back, I need to study the breeding of demonic beasts with the Myriad Beast Sect."

Princess Zhaoren wanted to stay a little longer, but Zhang Ran urged her to leave. Even the Thirteenth Princess didn't choose to have a detailed conversation with Zhang Ran at night, fearing it would cause rumors. This person seemed to not care about reputation, which made Zhang Ran doubt their intentions.

After Princess Zhaoren left, she arrived at a luxurious restaurant that could rival the Myriad Treasures Chamber of Commerce.

On the top floor, there was only one private room. Princess Zhaoren walked in quietly.

After closing the door, she saw a man who appeared young but had sharp eyes and a cold and ethereal temperament. He was dressed in luxurious clothing and held a cup of hot tea. Although his cultivation had long surpassed the need to worry about the temperature, he still blew on it and took a sip.

Seeing Princess Zhaoren enter, the Fifth Prince smiled slightly. "You've worked hard. How do you feel?"

Princess Zhaoren shook her head. "This person is hard to grasp and very cautious. He seems humble, but deep down, he is ruthless. He is also someone with ambitions."

"Oh? Ambitions, you say? I'm worried about those who are content and unambitious. But what kind of ambitions do you think he has?" The Fifth Prince's expression froze.

Princess Zhaoren shook her head. "I'm not sure yet. To truly understand this person, I need more contact with him. He has invited me to his residence, so there will be plenty of time then."

The Fifth Prince finished his tea in one gulp, poured another cup, and the water made a gurgling sound as it flowed into the teacup. He leisurely said, "Time, huh? I can't wait any longer. If Pang Yong doesn't reach the Nascent Soul stage within fifty years, I won't have another chance if Qian Di breaks through the Three Gods Unity."

His gaze then turned to the sky, where the imperial city resembled a heavenly palace, revealing a profound look in his eyes.

Princess Zhaoren behind him remained silent, bowing her head. She clearly understood the Fifth Prince's intentions but didn't dare to voice any objections.

...

The next day.

The square of the academy's arena.

Today was the finals, and there were even more people paying attention. Some wanted to see how far the number one cultivator of Daqian had progressed.

Zhang Ran and his group entered the private room again.

As they looked at the host and the arena below, some people in the audience turned their heads to look at their private room, discussing which important figures had arrived today.

"Do you think Zhang Yin's father, the Ninth Prince, has come?"

"It's possible. Last night, it was said that the Heaven Calamity Pill sold by the Myriad Treasures Chamber of Commerce was made by the Ninth Prince."

"Then this room number nine might be where the Ninth Prince is."

"I heard that the Ninth Prince has been actively seeking Dao companions, but his requirements have become quite high. They must be below eighty in Core Formation, which is already on par with some geniuses from major sects."

"It shows that the Ninth Prince values the quality of his descendants. The better the aptitude between Dao companions, the better the children."

On the arena, Zhang Tianyin was already fighting with the Third Prince.

But the situation seemed a bit discouraging.

The Third Prince, while fighting, also seemed to be giving instructions.

"Tianyin, although our cultivation realms are similar, there is still a gap between your foundation and mine. Plus, I'm one realm higher, so the difference is even greater. Consuming spiritual energy like this is not a solution."

Zhang Tianyin couldn't be bothered to waste words with him and focused on finding an opportunity. The Third Prince cultivated the top-tier royal technique, Body Refining, which was powerful in both physical strength and spiritual power. He even carried a faint dragon aura, making him fearless of her Extreme Yin Physique.

"Tianyin, after this is over, I will ask Father to let you experience the Qiankun Secret Realm. How about that?"

Hearing this, Zhang Tianyin's heart stirred. This was the treasure of the Daqian royal family.
