Started out getting scumbags, but then invested in the invincible Empress.

Chapter 150 Meeting an old friend, he is not worthy of my bow!

"Then I'll give you one more chance to make a move."

Li Wudao chuckled, put his hands behind his back, and said:

"I'll stand still and let you use whatever means you want. If you can make me take half a step back within ten moves, I'll consider it a loss... How about it?"

The crowd was in an uproar.

This young man is far too arrogant. How is he any different from a wooden stake being beaten?

Although Meng Yan was a spoiled brat, he was still at least a Blood Transformation Realm cultivator. When he went all out, even a True Essence Realm expert would have a hard time withstanding him.

Li Wudao looks to be only sixteen years old. How strong could his cultivation be?

"you......."

Meng Yan's face flushed red with anger. He felt deeply humiliated, standing there taking the beating without fighting back. It was clear that the other party didn't take him seriously.

"I've seen arrogant people, but I've never seen anyone this arrogant. Kid, do you dare to have a match with me?"

"That's right. If you have the guts to fight any one of us, we have nothing to say if you lose."

Several disciples from the Li Huo Sect who were traveling with them couldn't stand it any longer and stepped forward with sneers.

"You heartless cousin!"

Suddenly, Li Nanzhi's clear and cheerful voice rang out from not far away.

Today, she wore a bright green dress, her delicate face lightly made up, and a jade hairpin was inserted diagonally into her long, flowing hair, swaying gently with her steps, adding a touch of elegance to her playful and lively temperament.

Because of Princess Nanzhi's arrival, the women present were noticeably dimmer, their heads bowed and their expressions unnatural.

Li Wudao's eyes brightened slightly, and he nodded with a faint smile.

It must be said that the beauty of this young woman today surpasses all others, and she truly deserves to be called the most beautiful woman in the Great Yu Dynasty.

"Meng Yan, it's only been a few days, and you've already forgotten the pain of your past wounds?"

Li Nanzhi noticed the menacing Meng Yan and his group, and her delicate brows furrowed slightly.

"Humph!"

Meng Yan sensed the sarcasm in the girl's words, and his face darkened. "Li Nanzhi, this is between him and me. What are you doing getting involved?"

Li Nanzhi was about to say something.

But then a young man with a pale face strode over and laughed from afar, "Young Master Meng, why are you so angry? Who's the fool who angered you?"

"Young Master Miao, you've finally arrived! We've been waiting for you for ages!"

Meng Yan's face lit up with joy, but then he angrily pointed his arm at Li Wudao, "This guy injured me at the restaurant last time, and I wanted to get some answers today, but instead this kid has gone even further in humiliating me!"

"Oh, there's such a thing?"

Miao Lun looked surprised.

He narrowed his triangular eyes and sized up Li Wudao: "Kid, where are you from? I've never seen you before."

It's rare for a stranger to be able to make Meng Yan, the top scoundrel of the capital, suffer repeated setbacks.

Before he could finish speaking, Meng Yan's eyes darted around, and he quickly explained:

"Sigh, this kid is the infamous cultivation failure of the royal family eight years ago. His father is an unpopular and idle prince, and his mother is the second young lady who was expelled from the royal family..."

Upon hearing this, Miao Lun suddenly understood, and the trace of caution and apprehension in his heart completely dissipated.

"So you're that good-for-nothing. You've grown quite bold in the years since I last saw you, daring to even mess with my brothers. Believe me or not, a single word from me can send you to your doom."

His tone was contemptuous, his posture casual, and he didn't take Li Wudao seriously at all.

"Miao Lun, you've gone too far!"

Hearing the blatant threat, Li Nanzhi couldn't help but rebuke, saying, "Don't think that just because your father is the Minister of War, you can do whatever you want."

"Oh, this is the first time I've seen the beautiful Li get angry over a man. What's going on... has she fallen for this pretty boy?"

Miao Lun scoffed dismissively.

Immediately, many people's gazes lingered on Li Nanzhi and Li Wudao, all conveying an indescribable feeling.

"Don't talk nonsense. What's wrong with me defending my cousin?"

Noticing the strange looks on everyone's faces, Li Nanzhi felt ashamed and indignant, but a strange ripple stirred in her heart.

"Apologize, or you will bear the consequences."

Li Wudao frowned slightly, his cold eyes fixed on Miao Lun, looking as if he were about to start a fight at the slightest provocation.

Miao Lun scoffed dismissively, "Threatening me? Heh, then I'll see what the consequences will be if you don't apologize!"

Just as Li Wudao was about to make a move, he suddenly caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye, his expression hardened, and he froze on the spot.

He saw a man and a woman walking towards him, surrounded by several guards. He recognized the woman immediately; she was none other than Sun Qian, his childhood sweetheart who had been expelled from the Xuantian Sect!

His eyes turned slightly cold. He felt no joy at the reunion with this scumbag woman who had targeted him time and time again. He had already done more than enough by not rushing to kill her on the spot.

"Greetings, Second Prince!"

Many people recognized the man in brocade robes who was surrounded by people and stepped forward to pay their respects.

The man before me, dressed in brocade robes and possessing a gentle and refined demeanor, was none other than Li Sheng, the second prince of the Great Yu Dynasty.

Li Nanzhi gave a slight curtsy and said softly, "Your Highness."

"Nan Zhi is here too."

Li Sheng responded to everyone with a smile.

He was tall and slender with regular features. He possessed the extraordinary bearing of royalty, yet he gave people a warm and welcoming feeling, without inspiring fear or a sense of distance.

Suddenly, Meng Yan shouted sternly, "Li Wudao, now that you have seen His Highness the Second Prince, why don't you step forward to pay your respects?!"

All eyes immediately fell on Li Wudao. At this moment, he was the only one standing calmly in place, his body ramrod straight, showing no intention of stepping forward to pay his respects.

At that moment, Sun Qian also noticed him. The smile on her lips froze instantly, her delicate body tensed, and her expression changed drastically, as if she was thinking something.

At this moment, several guards stared at Li Wudao with unfriendly expressions, their tone full of warning:

"According to the laws of my Great Yu, anyone below the rank of Marquis who fails to pay respects to a prince will be imprisoned for ten days at the very least, and beaten to death with sticks at worst!"

"Cousin..."

Li Nanzhi's expression tightened, and she quietly tugged at his sleeve with her slender hand, signaling him to back down.

But Li Wudao glanced at the Second Prince and said indifferently, "A mere prince from a lower dynasty is not worthy of my bowing."

The entire room fell silent, and everyone's expression changed.

How dare this young man belittle the prince in public, especially to his face?

At this moment, the gentle smile on Li Sheng's lips stiffened. No one had ever dared to look down on him like this, not even his unscrupulous older brother.

I never imagined that I would be belittled like this by an unknown teenager today, and an indescribable anger welled up inside me.

"Outrageous! Slandering a prince is an even greater crime!"

Seeing Li Wudao so recklessly courting death, Meng Yan almost burst out laughing, but on the surface, he looked at the guards with righteous indignation and said:

"What are you all standing there for? Quickly arrest this thief!"
