Chapter 743 The Second Prince
When the news of the assassination of Chen Xiao and the eldest princess came out, Hai Lanxin quickly came to the princess's residence to pick Chen Xiao up. In this regard, the eldest princess had no intention of staying. Perhaps Hai Lan was worried that she would win over Chen Xiao.
After leaving the eldest princess, Hai Lanxin led Chen Xiao directly to her residence and asked people to arrange for Chen Xiao to stay. Chen Xiao has no intention of objecting. Judging from the current situation, the Haihuang Sect is already experiencing undercurrents, and there is no telling when a big wave will come. If he stayed in the Haihuang Sect, if any accident really happened, he would be able to respond immediately.
After making arrangements for Chen Xiao, Hai Lanxin left again. I don’t know what I have to do again.
Chen Xiao didn't think too much and just continued to adjust his condition.
However, what Chen Xiao didn't expect was that five days would pass as soon as his state adjusted. In the past five days, apart from investigating the assassin's affairs, nothing else happened in the Haihuang Sect. This actually surprised Chen Xiao.
On this day, Chen Xiao ended his practice again. Over the past few days, he had tried several times to break through to the Nine-Star Martial Saint, but he had always been stuck at the last step, which made him feel a little irritated for no reason. It is getting closer and closer to the opening of the outer realm, but he has not yet reached the god level. It is impossible to say that he is not in a hurry.
But just being anxious is of no use.
After thinking about it, Chen Xiao felt that it would be better for him to go out for a walk. Maybe he would suddenly break through if something happened.
After leading Xiao Miao out of Hai Lanxin's residence, Chen Xiao randomly chose a direction and walked straight away. Due to Hai Lanxin's instructions, none of the guards Chen Xiao met on the way stopped or questioned him. Otherwise, during this special period, the atmosphere in Haihuang Sect would be very tense.
"Huh?" Unknowingly, Chen Xiao walked to a remote location with no patrolling guards around. But Chen Xiao didn't care. Anyway, he just walked around casually, and it happened to be quiet in places where no one was around.
Immediately, Chen Xiao planned to find a place to lie down and take a rest. It would be a good idea to relax a little.
Just as he was looking for a place to lie down, a faint scent of tea suddenly filled the air.
Does anyone live near here?
Chen Xiao looked in the direction where the tea fragrance came from. He saw a very calm courtyard, but it looked very clean. It does look like someone lives in it. Touching his chin, Chen Xiao became interested in the guy in the yard: He would make tea in such a remote place as the palace. How could he not be an ordinary person?
Without stopping, Chen Xiao walked towards the yard.
The door of the courtyard was not closed. When you walked to the door, you could see a handsome man from the Hai tribe sitting on a stone bench making tea. In Chen Xiao's opinion, his actions in making tea could only be done with elegance. word description.
"I didn't expect that there would be distinguished guests visiting today." The man in the yard suddenly said, but he had already noticed Chen Xiao at the door.
Not surprised, Chen Xiao walked in with Xiao Miao in his arms and said casually: "I was just passing by here and was attracted by the fragrance of tea. I am not an honored guest."
However, when he heard Chen Xiao's words, the man laughed, looked at him and continued: "Master Xiao Chen, what you said is wrong. With your current reputation in the Hai Clan, you can be considered a leader wherever you go. Distinguished guest, I am the second prince Hai Yanghui.”
The man generously announced his name. It turns out that he is the second prince.
Speaking of which, this was the first time Chen Xiao and the second prince met.
"I'm just a human being. How can the Haihuang Sect be as famous as me? The second prince said it wrong." Chen Xiao walked up, sat down directly, and put the little cat on his lap.
As soon as Chen Xiao sat down, the second prince happened to have made tea, and then he got two cups and pushed them in front of Chen Xiao. Then he spoke again.
"Whether I'm wrong or not, everyone knows it. But the strength of Mr. Xiao Chen is absolutely undeniable. He is obviously a Martial Saint, but he can easily kill more than a dozen Martial Gods. With such strength, no matter who he is, Everyone will be extremely shocked when they hear it.”
"Haha, it's just relying on some tricks." Chen Xiao didn't want to discuss this topic with the second prince.
The second prince smiled and also changed the subject: "Speaking of it, until now I have not figured out the purpose of Young Master Xiao coming to Canghai Region. I wonder if Young Master Xiao can help me answer it?" He drank his words. , the second prince’s eyes fell on Chen Xiao.
"There is no purpose. I just came here to explore the ruins and see if I can find opportunities to improve my strength." Chen Xiao replied casually.
However, the second prince directly shook his head: "I don't think so? With Mr. Xiao's current power, no matter which power he goes to, he will surely be eager for you to join him. The so-called "wanting to improve his strength, Mr. Xiao only needs to find a random power." You can get a lot of resources, even if you join the Sea Emperor Sect, but..."
The second prince deliberately stopped and his gaze on Chen Xiao changed: "Master Xiao, you are only a nominal worshiper of the Haihuang Sect. It gives the impression that you do not want to join any force. So, the so-called promotion The chance of strength is obviously wrong.”
"Ha... the second prince knows a lot about me." Chen Xiao had no expression on his face. The second prince gave him a bad feeling.
The second prince shrugged and continued: "A human suddenly appeared in the Sea Emperor Sect, and was brought in by Hai Lanxin, and went to find the Queen of the Sea Clan as soon as possible. Such a thing is enough to arouse the interest of many people."
This is true. When Chen Xiao first came into the palace, he met the third prince, and after the contact, he also sent people to investigate Chen Xiao's background as soon as possible.
But Chen Xiao clearly remembered that Bai Lan said that the second prince had no interest in power struggles, which is why he did not appear in the meeting hall...
And now, the second prince knows everything that Chen Xiao has experienced since he came to the imperial city. Without any power in hand, Chen Xiao does not believe that the second prince can do it.
It seems that this so-called quiet second prince is not really quiet.
"The tea is good. But the topic makes people not interested in staying." Chen Xiao directly brought up this sentence. The meaning is very clear, and there is no intention to continue chatting with the second prince.
But before Chen Xiao got up, the second prince spoke again, a sudden sentence.
"Half of the Sea Emperor Sect."
"Hmm?" Chen Xiao frowned slightly at this and looked at the Second Prince. His expression was still so calm that nothing could be seen.
