CHAPTER 860: CHAPTER 860: THE FIFTH PRINCE RUNS INTO TROUBLE

Seeing that group of spoiled rich kids from the various aristocratic families charging towards the Sky Number Elegant Seat with the guards of Yingfeng Building trailing behind them like lackeys, everyone knew that a grand spectacle was about to unfold today.

On one side were the spoiled scions of noble families with the Fifth Prince leading them, while the other side, though their background was unknown, surely must be of significant standing given their courage to sit in the Sky Number Elegant Seat. When these two groups clashed, it was bound to be an earth-shattering good show.

However, it was only after the servant deliberately fanned the flames that they realized the leader of this group of spoiled brats was none other than the Fifth Prince who had just returned to the Capital. No wonder even the henchmen of Yingfeng Building willingly became lackeys.

And sitting in the Sky Number Elegant Seat were merely a few country bumpkins from Nanxi County.

Of course, "country bumpkin" was just the servant’s term. Those daring enough to act arrogantly in the Capital must be descendants of prestigious clans from Nanxi County. However powerful they might be in Nanxi County, they were no match for the Fifth Prince.

No one knew which family’s descendant was so unlucky to have offended the Fifth Prince. Even the people in other elegant seats opened their doors to look over curiously.

But after hearing the Fifth Prince speak, even the dullest person would realize it wasn’t that some unfortunate soul had offended the Fifth Prince, but rather the Fifth Prince was deliberately using them to establish his authority.

Understanding this, the spectators felt even more sympathy for the people in the Sky Number Elegant Seat.

To everyone’s surprise, the outcome was completely unexpected: He Qingwei fled, Song Zhe fled, Changsun Feihong fled, all the spoiled rich kids scattered like mice seeing a cat.

And those guards of Yingfeng Building who had sworn to fight for the Fifth Prince now dropped their longswords and jumped directly from the building without hesitation.

What was going on? Everyone looked towards Han Yan, seeing that young, handsome face, smiling innocently, and remembering the words "Young Master Mu" from He Qingwei and others, everyone felt a stirring in their hearts, then silently turned their gaze to the Fifth Prince, filled with sympathy.

Ah, why did he choose him as a stepping stone? This Fifth Prince was too reckless; wasn’t this inviting humiliation upon himself?

Don’t think your identity as a prince is invincible. Other people’s status is not inferior. The Eight Great Families are not ones even your father would dare cross lightly, let alone someone who is the eldest grandson of the Mu Family Patriarch. In terms of status, he may not be much beneath you, the Fifth Prince.

You’ve been away from the Capital for years, only just returned, and already dared to target others. Moreover, the matter has nothing to do with you, just standing up for others. Even if this issue reaches your father’s ears, you’re in the wrong.

No one spoke; the surrounding was silent, but for the Fifth Prince, this silence was like a soundless mockery.

From the looks around him, the Fifth Prince could see pity, but that pity was directed towards him, not the other party.

"Kicked an iron plate." The Fifth Prince’s face turned ashen. Despite still not knowing the identity of the other party, he clearly realized he chose the wrong person as a stepping stone.

Who said he was a bumpkin, who said he was just an ordinary family child from Nanxi County? If it were that simple, would Song Zhe and the others be so frightened?

The Fifth Prince felt he was tricked, deeply and soundly. And the person who tricked him was none other than Qu Fengting beside him.
