Chapter 8 8: I've Been Looking For You
He also realized that the guard that he had seen before was named Zi Huang, who was a Peak Earth Celestial assigned to him by his father.
Through these memories, he also learned about all the things that the Third Prince did in the past. He couldn't help but realize that he had underestimated the Third Prince.
Despite being a mere mortal without a shred of Celestial Aura, the Third Prince was arrogant and an egoist who didn't hesitate for even a single second when it came to killing the ones who offended him!
There was a reason he was called a ruthless Tyrant, after all. Once there was a great force in the Eternal Dynasty that offended him over a small matter. The next day, the force was completely wiped out! Not a single person was left alive!
The Third Prince had killed so many people that even Xu Shan was stunned, wondering how one person could kill so many. Throughout these years, a saying had appeared in the Eternal Dynasty that it was better to offend the Emperor than offending the Tyrannical Third Prince!
Even though the Third Prince wasn't a Celestial Warrior, many Celestial Warriors feared him!
There was another thing that surprised Xu Shan. No matter how bad Xu Shan was, he never forced a woman, which greatly exceeded his expectations. Let alone forcing a woman, he never even visited a brothel or brought a girl to his Palace! It wasn't wrong to say that the Third Prince was still pure in that regard.
Kidnapping the Saintess of the Celestial Palace was the first time he had done something like that. And that too because something happened between them.
It all started a few hours ago before Xu Shan entered this body. The Third Prince was sitting in the private room of the most expensive restaurant in the Royal City, eating.
It was around that time when he heard the voice of a woman coming from the nearby room. The woman was talking about him... In fact, it was less like talking about him and more like she was insulting him, calling him the greatest scourge in the Celestial Realm.
At the same time, another girl in her room mentioned that the Third Prince was said to be really handsome, and despite his ruthless nature, many ladies in the Dynasty still dreamt of becoming his wife.
In response to that, the Saintess mockingly replied, "Handsome? Even if he were the last man on earth, I wouldn't let him touch me. In fact, I would rather die than get close to him! Who knows, one day I might kill him personally to cleanse this world!"
It was that statement that started it all, angering the Third Prince.
The Third Prince was furious and wanted to kill her right there. However, at that time, Zi Huang informed him about the person's identity in the next room.
He didn't want the Third Prince to offend the Celestial Palace… at least not openly. At that time, the Third Prince went silent. In the end, he still didn't give up.
This was the outcome! All the allies of the Saintess in the restaurant were killed. Everyone who saw the Third Prince there was also killed! As for the Saintess... She was kidnapped and brought here before she could even send any information to the Celestial Place.
Xu Shan frowned after he learned of the matter. No matter how things came to this point, it was still a problem that he had to solve.
As for the other memories, he had no time to go through them at the time. For now, he only went through the memories regarding what kind of world this was or why the Saintess was here.
"That's it! I think I found a solution!" Xu Shan stood up suddenly, thinking of something. "Keep an eye on the Saintess. I'll be right back!"
He left the room. Unlike last time, he was more confident in dealing with Zi Huang now. He still didn't realize that there was another person waiting for him at the entrance of the Palace.

"Can't you come up with a new excuse?" Chen Rouyin squinted her eyes as she heard Zi Huang say that the third prince wasn't there.
It wasn't the first time she had come here to meet Xu Shan. It also wasn't the first time she was given this excuse. In fact, ever since she heard about her engagement with the Third Prince, she decided to meet the Third Prince to break the engagement personally!
How could a useless person, who had nothing to rely on other than his father's authority and prestige, become her husband?
She was one of the most talented in her generation in the Chen Clan! She was only twenty, and she had already become a Celestial General! Her Celestial Spirit was also a special Celestial Spirit! Meanwhile, the Third Prince was nothing but a title! How could she accept to marry him?!
Her clan couldn't break off the engagement since the Royal Family was involved, which prompted her to take action personally!
Unfortunately, no matter how hard she tried, she wasn't able to meet the Third Prince. Let alone meet him, she wasn't even able to enter his Palace.
Even though she was from the Chen Clan, she couldn't just barge inside the Palace of a Royal either. No matter how useless Xu Shan was in her eyes, he still represented the Royal Dignity!
This was also the reason she came in the middle of the night this time. During the day, Xu Shan could give the excuse that he wasn't in the Palace. However, where else could he be in the middle of the night, other than his Palace?!
Unfortunately, she was still given the same excuse even at this time, which made her blood boil.
"Lady Rouyin, please don't make things difficult for me. It's not good for a lady to visit someone's house at this late hour, lest some rumors spread. Please return."
No matter what, Zi Huang couldn't let her enter. He already knew the Third Prince's stance on the matter. He was already very irritated by this Chen Rouyin.
The Third Prince had already told him that he had no interest in meeting this hard-headed girl. Zi Huang also didn't want the girl to meet the Third Prince since he was worried that he would kill her one day after she offended him!

He was not only stopping her for the Third Prince but also for her own sake since the Third Prince couldn't care less about the Four Great Clans.
Chen Rouyin's face turned red in anger. Even at this time, she was being treated like this. No matter what, this time, she had made up her mind that she was going to meet the Third Prince, no matter what!
Her expression darkened as she reached out her hand toward her sword. No matter what, even if she had to cause a huge uproar this time, she wasn't going to leave! She had made up her mind! Moreover, she was sure Zi Huang wasn't going to kill her!
She already knew Zi Huang's strength. That's why she also brought a Peak Earth Celestial from her clan with her this time! She didn't intend to make this a peaceful night for the Third Prince.
Zi Huang noticed her actions. His face also darkened. He was about to advise the young lady against doing anything stupid. However, before he could speak, he froze in place, turning around as he heard a familiar voice.
"Zi Huang. So here you are. I've been looking for you inside." A young person stepped out of the castle, covered in beautiful black royal attire.
Even though the man didn't have a single trace of celestial aura around his body, his appearance was still enough to stun the others, especially the Royal Guards.
They couldn't help but sigh. Now that the Third Prince was here... Things had turned from bad to worse! If the Third Prince was angry because of Chen Rouyin, he was certainly going to command them to kill her... They couldn't ignore his commands either!
They couldn't help but look at Chen Rouyin in pity as if the four great families were soon going to become three great families!
