Miao Yi Niang was taken aback, worry in her eyes: "Why didn't you try to stop him?"

Xu Fufu let out a bitter smile, "How could I stop him? His power now surpasses mine by a lot, I can't even see through him! Besides, it's good to let him cause a bit of chaos—otherwise, that old bastard Xia Jing might really think that everyone in the Great Xia is afraid of him."

"You...you should at least try to persuade him then!" Miao Yi Niang stamped her foot,"Do you think the Prince's Mansion is some ordinary civilian home that can be easily stormed into?"

"Ah, you're getting flustered because you care." Xu Fufu took a glance at Miao Yi Niang and then muttered, "Is it appropriate for an old cow to go after young grass? After all, I am young grass too!"

"Xu Erfu!" Miao Yi Niang's eyes shone with a cold light; she was genuinely a little angry.

"Hey, hey, hey! Don't get angry, I haven't provoked you." Xu Fufu said weakly, "You really don't need to worry. Though your young master is quite hot-blooded, he's not a brainless idiot. He knows what he is doing. This time, you can rest assured, with a guarantee that the father-son scum of Xia Jing and Xia Jie will swallow their own insult."

"How do you know? Just from that letter? You think Xia Jie is an idiot? Would he stupidly write a letter himself to serve as someone else's handle?" Miao Yi Niang glared at him and spoke angrily.

"Hehe, just relax. Chu Mo is not that stupid, he must have a plan!" Xu Fufu said with a composed face.

"How would you know?" Miao Yi Niang asked.

"I trust him!" Xu Fufu spoke lightly, "Sis, he and I have been playing together since we were toddlers. If he was that sort of impulsive person, he would have left Yanhuang City long back!"

"So, it's simply because of trust?" Miao Yi Niang looked at Xu Fufu, a trace of disbelief on her face: "You don't even know his plan... "

"Hehe, sis, do you dare to make a bet with me?" Xu Fufu revealed a mischievous smile.

"Let's skip the bet if it benefits you." Miao Yi Niang sneered.

"No, no, no, I respect you too much. How could I possibly take advantage of you?" Xu Fufu replied with a serious face.

Miao Yi Niang suspiciously looked at Xu Fufu, "Speak."

"My bet is that Brother Hei will definitely cause chaos in the Prince's Mansion this time and walk away unharmed!" Xu Fufu continued, recalling Chu Mo's confident smile earlier, "If you win, I promise, from then on, if I ever give you the runaround, all the shares I have in Gluttonous Pavilion will be yours!"

"Like I care about it?" Miao Yi Niang sneered. However, she still raised another question, "What if I lose?"

"If you lose, you have to give Brother Hei a public kiss. Remember, it can't be on his face and it has to be public." Xu Fufu seemed to be imagining the scene as he spoke, a pleased smile on his face.

"You..." Miao Yi Niang blushed, gritted her teeth and snorted, "Fine! A kiss is just a kiss. What's the big deal? I'll bet with you! Although I also hope he comes back safe, I don't share your optimism! I am going to the Prince's Mansion now to watch it myself!"

Xu Fufu laughed, "Fine, let me handle some things here first, and then we can go together!"

...

Near the Gluttonous Pavilion's central location in Yanhuang City, the Prince's Mansion was not too far away.

Therefore, not too long after that, Chu Mo appeared directly in front of the Prince's Mansion.

As the prince of Great Xia, Xia Jing's residence was quite extravagant.

Its vast area included numerous courtyards, a huge garden, a lake, artificial mountains, stone bridges... pavilions, terraces, towers, everything you could imagine.

It was a true replica of a royal garden! There were even some unique plants and trees that not even the royal garden had!

The main gate of the Prince's Mansion was vexingly formidable, with two tall Kirin stone statues flanking either side. Only those with royal blood could use such statues for decoration.

The vermilion door was massive and imposing. Two burly guards stood at the entrance, solemn-faced, and as straight as a ramrod.

Above the gate hung a huge plaque with the imposing words "Prince's Mansion"!

Before Chu Mo even approached the gate, one of the guards shouted, "This is the Prince's residence! Unauthorized persons keep away!"

Chu Mo just laughed lightly, undeterred, and advanced directly towards the main entrance of the Prince's Mansion.

"Hold it right there!" The guard immediately unsheathed his sword, "What are you trying to do?"

"I'm here to cause trouble!" After responding with only a sentence, Chu Mo swiftly moved and landed in front of this guard. He raised his hand and threw a punch.

Bang!

The guard was sent flying by Chu Mo's punch.

If Chu Mo hadn't controlled his strength, this punch could have killed him!

Still, the guard was knocked back several feet and fell heavily to the ground, letting out a pitiful cry.

Seeing this, the other guard immediately rang an alarm bell and loudly shouted, "Enemy attack!"

"Get out of the way!" Chu Mo quickly rushed to him and, grabbing this guard by his collar, threw him away.

Then he lifted his leg and kicked the vermilion front door of the Prince's Mansion.

The front gate of the mansion is usually never opened—not even Prince Xia Jing uses it that often, typically using a side door instead. It would only be opened for grand ceremonies or on holidays.

Consequently, this gate had several bolts on the inside!

The gate was more than a foot thick and made of solid wood. It was plated with copper, then painted red, and bolted with copper on the inside. Unless one used a battering ram to generate several tens of thousands pounds of force, it was nearly impossible to break through with human strength alone.
