27: The Ghost Prince, Feng Ming Li

Chapter 27: The Ghost Prince, Feng Ming Li

While Fan Yaoli and Zexel were in training, Feng Zhengying was using his wheelchair as he strolled to his manor—the Ninth Prince, Feng Ming Li, Gui Wanye.

Both of them had the same mind, and both of them had the same understanding of each other. Feng Zhengying wanted Feng Ming Li to ascend the throne instead of Feng Guan Xi.

Feng Zhengying's family name was already Feng, which was bestowed upon him before, since his family were already both dead.

In other words, he was an adoptive son of the Emperor. Both of them grew up together, so they could understand each other better than anyone else.

"It's been a while since I visited you. I have been monitoring the Empress Faction since then, but still, until now, I can't manage to see through if they have another scheme. It's been two years," Feng Ming Li really dropped honorifics as long as he was with Feng Zhengying, and vice versa.

Both of them did not want each other to be formal, especially if they were the only ones present.

"The Empress is preparing for the entrance exam of the Scarlett Academy that only happens every four years, so it's really normal if in the last two years, she did not even bother with you," Feng Zhengying casually said, as if it was just easy to obtain that information, making Feng Ming Li drop his jaw.

"How were you able to obtain that information? You are here in the capital while I'm inside the Imperial Palace. I still did not obtain something useful, and yet you know it?" Feng Zhengying shrugged his shoulders and moved his wheelchair towards the door.

"Follow me later, you need to cultivate, so announce a seclusion. We will go to a place where the abundance of Qi is rich," Feng Ming Li’s eyes widened as he immediately returned to his courtyard in the palace and announced his seclusion.

There was only a year before the Entrance Exam, and Feng Zhengying wanted to participate there with Zexel. They needed to train themselves so they would not be a laughingstock in that place.

Although the Pingjing Country was already a Seventh Grade Country, there were still a lot of countries much stronger than their country—how much more the people in other countries?

There were a lot of people who were much stronger than them, so it was not even right to overestimate themselves.

Both of them finished their preparations, so Feng Zhengying prepared an automatic Car Mobile to fetch Feng Ming Li.

"I didn't know that you could purchase this high-sky Car Mobile. Only ten people here in Pingjing have this, but you are not even included," Feng Ming Li teased him.

Well, it was true—the price of the Car Mobile was as high as the sky, but still, a lot of people wanted to purchase it. Every piece of Car Mobile represented richness, so all of the royalties around Da Country had this transportation.

"I did not buy this, it was a gift," Feng Zhengying simply said, making Feng Ming Li’s jaw drop.

How could an ordinary person here in Pingjing Country simply gift this kind of transportation, which had such a high price, to a man like Feng Zhengying? It was simply too absurd, since Feng Zhengying really lived up to being useless ever since the day he became crippled.

"It turns out that a lot of things happened to you in the capital. Why don’t you tell me what happened to you?" Feng Zhengying just stared at him and went inside the Car Mobile.

Feng Ming Li did not pursue the issue much more, so he went inside the Car Mobile. He was stunned by how beautiful the Car Mobile was. You just needed to write your destination using a specific brush on a tablet, then the Car Mobile would drive itself.

Feng Zhengying simply put the Underground Mansion, and then the Car Mobile drove itself.

The Underground Mansion was located in the middle of Mt. Chuxian[1]. It was named like that because it only appeared one and a half years ago.

A lot of cultivators tried to explore the mountain, but none of them came back alive. Just a day after they went inside, their corpses would be hanged at the foot of the mountain in a bloody, gory way of killing them. Even people with a Senior Spiritualist Cultivation—which was the highest known cultivation realm that Pingjing Country managed to reach—all died tragically in this mountain. So now, no one dared to go inside the mountain ever since.

Feng Ming Li knew this story, making him anxious about where they would go. "Feng Zhengying, why are we going here?" Feng Ming Li was a bit scared, but he didn’t dare to tell it to Feng Zhengying.

"Don’t panic, we’re not going to die here, okay?" Feng Zhengying just smirked and let the Car Mobile go inside the mountain.

When they got to the middle, they went into a cave and let the Car Mobile go inside.

The cave looked abandoned and horrific because of the darkness, but after just a while, it was like they passed through a portal, and the whole place became pleasant to the eyes.

In short, it was all illusion.

Feng Ming Li was stunned for a moment as he felt the rich abundance of Qi in the place.

But he still had not yet recovered from what he saw when he saw Feng Zhengying manage to walk outside the Car Mobile.

He only came back to the world when Feng Zhengying knocked on the window beside Feng Ming Li.

"I’ll explain everything to you. For now, get your ass out of my Car Mobile," Feng Ming Li couldn’t do anything but follow Feng Zhengying because his curiosity was killing him.

What exactly happened to his sworn brother in the past two years they never met? Feng Ming Li felt like a lot of events happened, but he did not manage to know them.
