Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting with brother's wife and young sister Chapter 895 - 479: Next Time I’ll Break Your Legs!

Three days later.

"I suggested we just fly straight over, but no, we had to pass through the city gate and present our credentials. Such a pain!"

Having barely cleared the inspection and stepped into Moran City, Zhan Tian grumbled.

"Rules!"

Liu Sheng uttered just those two words.

"To hell with the rules—my rules are the only ones that count."

Zhan Tian sneered.

Everywhere except the Imperial Palace, Zhan Tian set the rules himself.

This marked the key difference between him and Liu Sheng.

As the Chief Eunuch of the Ritual Department, Liu Sheng followed Great Yu's rules no matter the location.

If he himself ignored them, how could the Ritual Department command respect?

"Shut your trap!"

Liu Sheng had finally reached his limit; this infuriating guy had driven him mad over the past days.

Endless yapping without pause.

No surprise he was a solitary figure—who could tolerate such a pest?

Yet his shout rang out too loudly on the bustling main street, drawing curious stares from passersby who halted to watch.

"Move it!"

Uncomfortable under the gaze of these common folk, Liu Sheng hastened his steps right away.

"What the heck are you lot gawking at?!"

Zhan Tian swore and hurried after him.

...

Outside Prince Xuan’s Mansion.

Two elderly men stood there, one with a tiny Winged Draconic Beast perched on his shoulder.

Tantai Kun shot a look at the pair, and suddenly his chest felt crushed by an immense boulder.

"Chill out!"

Liu Sheng shot a glare at Zhan Tian.

This wasn’t Dark Moon—couldn’t he tone it down a notch?

"Blame yourself for bickering with me earlier!"

Zhan Tian pointed the finger at Liu Sheng.

"Hoo—"

Liu Sheng drew in a deep breath, muttering inwardly, "Keep cool, keep cool—he’s a total ass, but anger harms your body!"

Soon enough, he regained his composure.

Still, he offered no friendly expression; prolonged exposure to this annoying brute shaved years off one’s lifespan.

With that, he strode toward Tantai Kun.

But as he approached, Tantai Kun’s heart tightened further.

"No need to fret—they’re friends. Go inform your Prince Xuan that Old Man Liu has arrived."

A warm smile bloomed on Liu Sheng’s face.

In that moment, the heavy pressure on Tantai Kun’s heart lifted completely.

"Right away, this lowly one will notify him at once!"

This time, Tantai Kun asked nothing, plunging straight into Prince Xuan’s Mansion. Only after covering some distance did realization hit him.

"What just happened?"

Shock flooded his mind—this was utterly out of character for him.

Not a single query!

"Those two... are absolutely fearsome!"

With that thought, he sped up dramatically, reaching Shi Jian’s quarters shortly and recounting the visitors at the gate.

"Old Man Liu?"

Shi Jian’s brows knitted together.

Having served the Crane King and Chen Xuan before, he knew instantly these weren’t ordinary visitors.

He swiftly grabbed the Communication Spirit Talisman. "Lord Xuan King, two elders from Molan Mansion are here—one claims to be Old Man Liu!"

While awaiting a reply, he briskly ordered Tantai Kun, "Escort these two to the main hall and offer the finest Spirit Tea."

"Be extremely polite!"

"Understood!"

Tantai Kun bolted back out. With the Chief Steward acting so gravely, and recalling the earlier encounter, these elders were clearly no trifles.

At Prince Xuan’s Mansion entrance.

"Is all this waiting really needed? One yell from me, and that brat would rush out to welcome us!"

Zhan Tian’s impatience flared as he waited.

"You’re the head of the Three Judicial Departments and a senior at that. Can’t you behave like one?"

Liu Sheng itched to slap some sense into him about proper conduct.

Just then, Tantai Kun emerged.

"Head of the Three Judicial Departments?"

His pulse raced. "Could it be...?"

He hurried over, beaming with his most joyful smile ever, "Esteemed seniors, Lord Xuan King isn’t home at the moment, but he’s been notified and will return shortly."

"Kindly enter the main hall for some Spirit Tea while you wait!"

Zhan Tian arched a brow, clearly irked. "Where’s that scamp wandered off to this time?"

"Inside we go!"

Liu Sheng shook his head wearily, then told Tantai Kun, "Show us the way!"

"Of course, of course!"

Tantai Kun bobbed his head eagerly and gestured ahead. "This way, honored seniors!"

"It truly is them!"

He mused silently—if not, how else would they dare call Lord Xuan King a scamp so casually?

He guided them to the grand hall, where per Shi Jian’s orders, servants promptly presented the mansion’s top Spirit Tea.

Now he stood by deferentially, ready for any command.

"Where has that scamp dashed off to?"

Zhan Tian sipped the Spirit Tea, and as he set the cup down, Shi Jian deftly took it, answering humbly, "To senior, Lord Xuan King didn’t specify, but he knows now and is hurrying back."

"That scamp idles all day, only causing chaos."

Zhan Tian pursed his lips.

"Enough with the ‘scamp’ already—he’s a prince, you know."

Liu Sheng gave him a stern look.

"Oh, protecting him now? We haven’t even heard his stance yet, and it hinges on his agreement anyway."

With others present, Zhan Tian held back a bit.

After all, naming the Ritual Department’s successor would spark massive waves if leaked.

He grasped the need for secrecy.

Meanwhile, within the space fracture, Chen Xuan activated the Rule of Space to race back.

The moment Shi Jian’s message named Old Man Liu, he pegged it as Liu Sheng.
