Chapter 424: Why Are You Alone?

The Third Prince’s birthday banquet, two days ago…

After the Third Prince arrived, silence descended in the entire banquet . Everyone enviously looked at that faint yellow figure .

Since he was a descendant from the Imperial Family, his nobleness was unparalleled .

The moment he entered the palace, everyone felt his presence .

“Your Royal Highness, Third Prince . ”

“Your Royal Highness, Third Prince . ”

Every person got up and bowed one after another .

Third Prince nodded . “Everyone, please be seated . ”

The crowd orderly sat in their seats .

“Third Brother, it’s your birthday banquet today . I’ll give you something good . ”

Once the crowd took their seats, a handsome young man got up and gave Third Prince a few crystal stones . “These are the spiritual crystals Father gave to me a few years ago, but I can’t bear to use them . Since I don’t have any use for them, I’m giving them to you . ”

This young man was the Fifth Prince, who had gate-crashed the Fenghua Banquet two years ago, but became a cripple in the end .

“Thank you, Fifth Brother . ”

Once Fifth Prince revealed his gift, others followed suit .

The entire place became lively .

Suddenly…

“Fourth Royal Uncle is here . ”

“Fourth Royal Uncle? Who’s that?”

People exchanged glances with one another .

An insider said, “I heard that Our Majesty has two elder sisters and a younger brother . It was just that his parents had that brother at an old age . When he was born, he was weak . Hence, he was raised outside for many years . I nearly forgot that we still have a Royal Uncle in our Tian Zhao Dynasty . ”

“Royal Uncle? He really came!”

With a face full of excitement, Third Prince got up and greeted the newcomer .

The others also got up one after another .

As Lou Xiaoxiao followed the others and got up, she frowned . “An Shaohua dared to deceive me . He said that Gong Sunheng would come, but I have yet to see him…”

While thinking about it, Lou Xiaoxiao even glared at An Shaohua, who was not far away .

An Shaohua was the family member of An Shaoning, who had replaced him to enter the Imperial Academy .

When An Shaohua felt her gaze on him, he made a funny face .

At that moment, exclamations rang in the entire place .

“So young! So handsome!”

“Fourth Royal Uncle doesn’t look much older than Third Prince . Is he really the Third Prince’s uncle?”

Just when everyone was feeling doubtful…

“Little Third, happy birthday,” the newcomer said in a calm tone .

This voice…

“Huh? Gong Sunheng?” Lou Xiaoxiao’s expression worsened . She fiercely turned her head and looked at ‘Gong Sunheng,’ who everyone had swarmed to meet . Her eyes suddenly shrank . “He! He’s actually Fourth Royal Uncle?”

The eyes of Third Young Master, who had seen him, also nearly popped out . He exclaimed in shock, “Gong… Master Gongsun, you, you’re actually Fourth Royal Uncle?”

Third Prince smiled and said with a proud expression, “That’s right . My Fourth Royal Uncle is Master Gongsun, the famous demonically-talented alchemist from the Alchemy King’s mansion . ”

The moment he said these words, an uproar happened among the crowd .

Everyone looked at ‘Gong Sunheng’ with a stunned expression .

“He’s a demonically-talented alchemist from the Alchemy King’s mansion?”

“So impressive!”

“I have heard of a Master Gongsun in our Tian Zhao Dynasty . I didn’t expect it to be true! Furthermore, he’s one of us . ”

‘Gong Sunheng,’ who had just restored his strength, was filled with arrogance . His gaze calmly swept past everyone . His eyes were filled with disdain as he appeared high and mighty and showed despise toward everyone .

Suddenly…

His gaze paused at an area .

“Royal Uncle? What are you looking at? Do you know someone here?” Third Prince curiously asked .

‘Gong Sunheng’s’ dark gaze locked onto Lou Xiaoxiao . He ignored Third Prince and viciously said in a loud voice, “Lou Xiaoxiao, you’ve got guts! You dared to come to the Imperial City? But, why are you alone? Where’s that fellow, Leng Qianhan?”
