Episode 4

Hearing the insulting words from the princes and the disgusted looks around him, Chen Xuan remained standing calmly and acted as if it had nothing to do with him.

Then one by one the princes began to be summoned into the hall to retrieve their allocated resources, according to the list. The princes would be prioritized first, followed by the other noble children.

All the princes received 100 Qi Crystals, but after all the princes had received their resources, Chen Xuan discovered that his name was not on the list of princes receiving resources, this made Chen Xuan frown. People looked at Chen Xuan with playful smiles as if he were a joke.

"Hehe, Chen Xuan. Looks like the Chen Palace has given up on trash." Chen Oyu sneered.

"Maybe the royal father has found that giving Qi Crystals to Chen Xuan is a waste, so the royal father revoked his qualifications," added Chen Jiang in a scornful tone.

Chen Xuan ignored Chen Oyu and Chen Jiang then walked into the Treasure Pavilion, inside there were mahogany tables and chairs. There sat a middle-aged man with a fat body and a bald head, he was Hu Gui, the palace treasurer's servant.

"Hu Gui!" Chen Xuan looked at Hu Gui then said. "I'm here to collect resources."

Seeing Chen Xuan's appearance, Hu Gui was only slightly surprised then calmed down. There was even a sneer on his face, but he tried to remain respectful.

"Ninth Prince, you have come!"

"Is there? Did you expect me not to come?." Chen Xuan stared sharply.

"Hehe, the Ninth Prince is joking." Hu Gui laughed.

"So what about the Qi Crystal, are you going to give it?" Chen Xuan said.

"Ninth Prince, I'm truly sorry. There are no more Qi Crystals left for you," Hu Gui said regretfully, but his eyes showed contempt.

"I am a prince, how can there be no Qi crystals left? I will ask this to the head treasurer!" Said Chen Xuan as he walked towards the stairs.

Seeing Chen Xuan's attitude, Hu Gui chuckled then sneered. "Ninth Prince, you don't need to see the head treasurer. We have agreed that resources will only be given to practitioners who have potential, but trash will get nothing."

Chen Xuan stopped walking, he turned to look at Hu Gui with cold eyes. "Does His Majesty also know about this?"

"Of course!" Hu Gui smiled mockingly.

Chen Xuan walked over to Hu Gui and stood in front of him, his eyes were very cold as he said expressionlessly. "You may be proud today, but it won't be long. I was once the number one genius in the northern region of the Ming empire and I can do it again, when that happens, I hope you can still be proud."

After saying that, Chen Xuan left the treasure pavilion under Hu Gui's cold gaze.

"Tsk, what a genius? You're just trash, after the coming-of-age ceremony is over. You will no longer be a prince," Hui Gui sneered at Chen Xuan's back as he walked away.

Inside the room, Chen Xuan sat thinking of ways to get money to buy Qi Crystals. Then his gaze fell on the row of books in the cupboard, his eyes suddenly brightened.

"Right, why didn't I think of that?"

Chen Xuan took a brush and scroll, then began to write with very beautiful movements. Chen Xuan was an unparalleled genius. In his head are stored various kinds of cultivation methods and battle techniques.

He began to write down the lowest level battle technique that was in his mind, he also gave a special rune using soul power to make the writing more profound and mysterious.

After he finished writing, he immediately rolled up the paper and put it in his clothes. Then he opened the cupboard, took a loose black robe and walked out of his residence.

"Xuan E'r, where are you going, son?" Lin Sua, who was cooking in the kitchen, frowned when she saw her son rushing out.

"I have business outside, Mom, I'll be right back!" Chen Xuan said as he passed.

At the gate, the two guards saw Chen Xuan. But the two immediately looked away and pretended not to see Chen Xuan, they didn't want to get involved with this wasteful trash.

Chen Xuan didn't care either, he left the Chen Palace and ran north. After a few minutes, Chen Xuan arrived in front of a two-story pavilion. On the front door plaque of the pavilion was written: Xu Treasure Pavilion.

The Treasure Pavilion is a very famous trading house throughout the Chen empire, you can almost find Treasure Pavilions in every city. And the Treasure Pavilion is owned by the Xu Clan, one of the strongest Clans in the Chen empire.

In the Chen empire, apart from the imperial family. There are four great Clans and one sect which are first class powers, they are the Yan Clan, Yun Clan, Xu Clan, and Mu Clan, the Blue Sea sect.

The Xu Clan is the ruling family, they have great military power and influence in the Chen empire. Even the imperial family would not dare to offend them without reason.

Chen Xuan walked towards a dark, narrow alley, then changed his clothes into a loose black robe with a hood that concealed his identity.

Then he went out into the street and walked calmly towards the Xu Treasure Pavilion.

In front of the door stood two guards with strong and fierce bodies. But the two of them just kept quiet and didn't stop anyone from entering or leaving the pavilion.

Inside the Treasure Pavilion, Chen Xuan stared at the luxurious interior and the tiled floor made of ceramic. Looks very luxurious.

Chen Xuan walked over to the table where two beautiful waitresses with charming smiles were greeting customers.

"Excuse me!." Chen Xuan said in a slightly hoarse voice.

"Yes sir, can I help you?" The two waitresses asked respectfully.

"I want to sell something, who's in charge?." Chen Xuan looked at the two waitresses calmly.

"Oh!."

The two waitresses looked at Chen Xuan curiously, then the waitress who had a slightly smaller body and an approachable face said, "Please come with me, sir!"

The waitress then led Chen Xuan down a hallway and stopped in front of an iron door, the waitress knocked on the door once and said. "Mr. Xu, someone is here to sell something!"

A loud voice was heard from inside the room.

"Bring him in!"

"Okay." The waitress opened the iron door and invited Chen Xuan in. "Please, sir!"
