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 n.o.bleness 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?”
