"What, are you planning to meddle in others' affairs?"

Facing Lin Yi, who was fearlessly confident, Charles sneered angrily, glancing at Ling Yuwei's arm being held by Lin Yi, his words full of sarcasm:

"Don't think that just because there's a woman backing you, you can do whatever you want in this Imperial Capital."

It wasn't until Charles' "reminder" that Lin Yi suddenly realized and hurriedly released Ling Yuwei's hand, almost instinctively.

However, Lin Yi wasn't embarrassed, instead, he mockingly said to Charles:

"What, are you jealous?"

It was obvious that this guy seemed to really like Ling Yuwei!

Everyone around couldn't help but stifle a laugh upon hearing Lin Yi's words.

But considering Charles' identity, they quickly shut their mouths.

However, Ling Yuwei was less concerned, unable to hold back a "pfft" of laughter.

Upon seeing this, Charles flew into a rage:

"Bastard! What did you say?"

Charles, the future Sovereign of the Ao Sheng Empire, had been secretly in love with Ling Yuwei for years.

His sudden appearance here was clearly no coincidence.

Since Ling Yuwei entered the city, someone had already been reporting her every move to him.

He originally intended to make an impression in front of Ling Yuwei, leaving a good impression.

He didn't expect it to backfire so badly.

And judging by Ling Yuwei's attitude toward this man in front of her, it was clearly very different from her usual demeanor toward men.

This instantly stirred Charles' competitive spirit as a man and his strong desire for possession over Ling Yuwei.

After all, he had long regarded Ling Yuwei as his own.

Just as Lin Yi was about to bypass Charles and leave, Charles suddenly reached out to block Lin Yi, his face darkened as he said:

"Did I say you could leave?"

Again being stopped, Lin Yi couldn't help but chuckle:

"You really see yourself as a beacon of justice, don't you."

Lin Yi turned to Charles and said:

"I don't want trouble, and you better not cause any for yourself."

"Move aside."

Even Lin Yi didn't expect that a simple street treasure hunt would lead to such a melodramatic scene.

Lin Yi also couldn't be bothered to deal with Charles, who was acting jealous over a woman.

However, Charles clearly had no intention of letting Lin Yi have his way.

For Charles, since birth, no one had dared to ignore him like this:

"Do you know who you're talking to?"

At that moment, Charles felt an unprecedented sense of humiliation.

He, a dignified prince of the Ao Sheng Empire, the future heir of the Ao Sheng Empire.

Yet, at this moment, in front of everyone's eyes, he was ridiculed by a nobody.

How could he swallow this humiliation!

"Hand over that ring, and I'll let you go."

Clearly, it wasn't about the ring anymore; it was a matter of dignity for Charles, the Eldest Prince of Ao Sheng Empire.

This, which he believed to be the greatest concession, was once again met with Lin Yi's disdain.

Then, under the shocked gaze of everyone, Lin Yi grabbed Charles' hand that blocked his way and forcefully pushed it aside:

"You're not worthy."

Pushed aside, Charles staggered to the side.

In an instant, gasps were heard all around.

Even Ling Yuwei, behind Lin Yi, was shocked by Lin Yi's actions.

That was the Eldest Prince of the Ao Sheng Empire, one of the Three Great Empires!

As the eldest daughter of the Linlang Pavilion, Ling Yuwei at most could only speak diplomatically to him.

As for getting physical?

Even if it were a prince from the Jialan Empire, they wouldn't dare to brazenly act against Charles.

She looked at Lin Yi's back incredulously, thinking in shock: 'Could it be that the family he belongs to doesn't even regard the empire as anything?'

While everyone was shocked, Charles suddenly showed a sinister expression:

"You're seeking death!"

In an instant, a searing storm suddenly engulfed Charles.

Everyone around was terrified and retreated, fearing they might be caught in it.

Seeing the fire elements rapidly condensing in front of Charles, Ling Yuwei was horrified:

"Charles, are you crazy!"

"This is the Jialan Empire's Imperial Capital, stop now."

At this moment, she wasn't worried about Lin Yi's safety but was rather sweating for the Eldest Prince of the Ao Sheng Empire.

If the Divine Venerable secretly protecting Lin Yi saw this and suddenly struck to kill Charles, then it would indeed be a major issue.

Faced with Ling Yuwei's reminder, the madness on Charles' face intensified.

He thought that Ling Yuwei was still worrying about Lin Yi's safety.

Having long regarded Ling Yuwei as his own, how could he tolerate the woman he liked speaking for another man?

Charles stood in the center of the street, magic surging from him, and issued a hysterical roar at Lin Yi:

"Stay right there!"

Swish!

On this bustling commercial street of the Ao Sheng Imperial Capital, the figures on the street instantly vanished without a trace.

Faced with the enraged Charles, these ordinary people had to hide in the alleys, fearing collateral damage.

Even Bright, the 'culprit,' had long since slipped into the crowd and disappeared.

The situation had escalated far beyond his expectations.

Money was tempting, but life was clearly more precious.

Smack!

Lin Yi suddenly stopped in his tracks, helplessly turning around to face the ferocious Charles:

"What exactly do you want?"

At this moment, Charles's mind was already filled with anger.

He glared at Lin Yi, gritting his teeth:

"Kneel and apologize or die."

Hah~

Lin Yi scoffed disdainfully:

"Isn't this just endless."

Suddenly, the Dragon Scale Sword appeared in Lin Yi's hand, and he calmly pointed the tip of the sword at Charles:

"Make me kneel and apologize? You wish."

At the moment their eyes met, Charles finally felt 'humiliated beyond tolerance' and roared:

"Then die!"

Without any warning, Charles suddenly attacked Lin Yi, a searing flame like a bunch of fire snakes spraying out from Charles's palm:

Boom~

In that instant, Lin Yi's position was completely engulfed by the massive flames.

A chorus of gasps erupted from the surrounding crowd.

Even Ling Yuwei hadn't anticipated Charles would suddenly attack.

Seeing the 'Lin Yi' enveloped by flames, Ling Yuwei's hands and feet went cold as she loudly shouted:

"Lin Yi!"

"Charles, do you know what you're doing? Are you mad?"

Although Ling Yuwei's skills weren't enough to resist Charles's attack, she had no time to consider that now.

Just as Ling Yuwei was about to cast magic;

When Charles thought Lin Yi was doomed and retracted the flames;

To everyone's surprise:

Lin Yi stood unharmed where he was, surrounded by a transparent glow:

"Magic Shield" (Casting skills grants a shield equivalent to 30% of one's Life Value, lasting for 5 minutes)

Seeing Charles unable to break through the magic shield, Lin Yi's face displayed a contemptuous smile:

"Now it's my turn."

Charles looked at Lin Yi, utterly shocked:

"How could you survive?" 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

But in the next moment.

Lin Yi had already vanished from his spot:

"Instant Teleportation"

Ling Yuwei's heart shook upon seeing this.

By the time she first glanced at Charles, Lin Yi was already in front of him.

Facing Lin Yi at close range, Charles showed an expression of utter horror.

Instantly, a chill surged over Charles's head.

"Stop!!!"

Just as Lin Yi was about to strike Charles, two voices suddenly shouted from outside the crowd.

But in the next instant:

Lin Yi's right fist struck hard into Charles's abdomen:

Bang~

In that fraction of a millisecond, Charles hurtled like a cannonball directly onto a street stall.

As everyone recovered from the shock, the wooden stall was left in ruins, a complete mess.

Sucking breath~

"So powerful!!!"

This was the first thought in the minds of everyone surrounding at that moment.

Charles, a prominent figure among the younger generation of the Ao Sheng Empire, possessed Tier Six Venerable Level strength!

Yet before this man, he seemed pathetically weak.

Even Ling Yuwei, who had predicted the outcome, was stunned.

But suddenly, everyone realized a terrifying truth as they saw the pained Charles lying on the ground.

This was the Eldest Prince of Ao Sheng Empire, a future heir!!!

At this moment, two terrifying presences descended like oppressive clouds, suffocating those around them.

Looking at the two elderly figures before him, feeling the unfriendly aura they emitted.

Lin Yi's face showed an amused smile as he said:

"Are you planning to attack together or one by one?"

Meanwhile, the skill [Summon Sword Spirit] was also activated…
