Tang Tianfeng stayed in the City Lord’s Mansion and wandered around all day long.
“Steward Qi Heng，where are you going?” Tang Tianfeng stopped Qi Heng and asked.
“It’s the Second Prince! I was preparing to deliver products.” Qi Heng said as he turned around.
“Is it the new type of facial mask?” Tang Tianfeng asked.
Qi Heng nodded, “Yes. There are two types, one super large and one super small.”
Tang Tianfeng smiled and asked, “Is it for the Sea Tribes?”
Qi Heng nodded and replied, “Yes.”
“Young Master Qi is really considerate!” Tang Tianfeng couldn’t help but say.
“If you want to make money, you have to be more considerate.” Qi Heng said with a faint smile.
“Steward Qi Heng is very capable!” Tang Tianfeng praised.
“How am I? I just run small errands for my young master. Young Master is the capable one.” Qi Heng said.
Tang Tianfeng nodded, and said, “Steward Qi, no need to be modest. Your ability is obvious to all.”
Qi Heng nodded to Tang Tianfeng, “Second Prince, if there’s nothing else, I’ll get going.”
Tang Tianfeng nodded, and said, “Steward Qi, please go ahead!”
……
Tang Tianfeng looked at Qi Heng’s back, and said unconsciously: “Their business is indeed very big!”
The black-clothed cultivator beside Tang Tianfeng looked at him and said, “Second Prince, Qi Heng and Bi Liuyun are Qi Shaorong’s devoted followers. I’m afraid we won’t be able to find a breakthrough with these people.”
Tang Tianfeng thought carefully, then nodded “Right!”
“Qi Shaorong and Zhuang Hao have hid in the underground laboratory again, acting mysteriously, I don’t know what they are doing.” the black-robed cultivator said displeased.
…………
“Chen Yuan, you are here!” Tang Tianfeng patted Chen Yuan’s shoulder naturally.
Chen Yuan called out respectfully, “Second Prince.”
“I’m also your brother-in-law, so don’t be so restrained.” Tang Tianfeng said familiarly.
Chen Yuan smiled, and replied, “Okay.”
“Is A-Yuan used to staying in the Jade Sea Plains?” Tang Tianfeng asked.
“I’m quite used to it.” Chen Yuan said. Before Chen Yuan came, he heard that the Jade Sea Plains was dangerous, but when he arrived, he found that it was just so-so.
“I heard, the mermaids came many times to find fault?”

“A skinny camel is still bigger than a horse! I heard that a group of mermaids came before, and Zhuang Hao defeated them with a swipe of his sword.” Tang Tianfeng said.
“There is such a thing. A little girl from the Sea Tribes brought a few admirers here. They’re just a bunch of mobs.” Chen Yuan said.
“I heard that Musician Bi followed Young Master Qi to the Jade Sea Plains, why didn’t I see him?”
“Young Master Qi sent him to make an engagement.”
“Engagement!” Tang Tianfeng frowned, thinking: Engagement, Chen Yuan should be joking, but if Bi Liuyun really married Hai Ling, then Qi Shaorong’s power will be even more terrifying.
He heard a very strange rumor that Bi Liuyun was the long-lost golden mermaid of the Sea Tribes. Although Tang Tianfeng didn’t understand how Bi Liuyun, a human musician, turned into a mermaid, the rumors look authentic, not fake at all.
Chen Yuan smiled dryly, and said: “I’m talking nonsense, Bi Liuyun seems to be discussing business with the young master of Tianlong Firm. Tianlong Firm and Young Master Qi may have big business to do.”
Tang Tianfeng: “…Young Master Qi is really keen on doing business!”
Chen Yuan nodded and said, “Exactly!”
…………………………………………………
Qi Shaorong stayed in the laboratory, researching the newly obtained spirit grass from the Sea Tribes.
“Is the Second Prince still not planning to leave?” Qi Shaorong looked at Zhuang Hao and asked.
“I think he might not be planning to leave in the short term,” Zhuang Hao replied.
Qi Shaorong raised his head, looked at Zhuang Hao, and said: “Why, the food here is better than the emperor’s that he indulged in pleasure and forgot his origins?”
Zhuang Hao: “……”
Qi Shaorong paused, and said: “Perhaps, we should find a bad chef to cook for the Second Prince.”
Zhuang Hao: “……” Who does Qi Shaorong think of Tang Tianfeng as?
Zhuang Hao smiled helplessly, and said, “I think he probably wants to find out something.”
Qi Shaorong closed his eyes and said, “I have a feeling…”
“What feeling?” Zhuang Hao asked。
“I think my position as the lord may not last long?” Qi Shaorong said.
Zhuang Hao looked at Qi Shaorong and asked, “Do you think your lord will transfer you to another place?”
Qi Shaorong nodded, “It’s possible.”
Zhuang Hao lowered his head and said, “Let’s take a step at a time.”
“It can’t be true that I will be transferred to another place. I just started this round, and am ready to carry out a great plan in this place!” Qi Shaorong said, very depressed.
Zhuang Hao looked at Qi Shaorong and said, “Don’t worry, you can do well no matter where you go.”
Qi Shaorong：“……”
“The Second Prince must be sent away.” Qi Shaorong pondered for a while and said。
Zhuang Hao stroked his chin and said, “If you really want to send him away, give him the mithril sea sand.”
Qi Shaorong nodded, and said: “I thought so too. I wanted to wait for him to speak up, but now I have to take the initiative to send him off.” If he gives a little more than three catties, he should be able to call it mission accomplished, and cry about being poor on the way.
…………
“Here is the mithril sea sand that I found. To be honest with the Second Prince, the sea sand is really hard to find. I worked really hard and risked my life to find this little. Ten catties is too much. I hope the Second Prince will say a few good words in front of the emperor and lower the requirements.” Qi Shaorong said with a smile.
Tang Tianfeng smiled and said: “I believe that with Young Master Qi’s ability you definitely will be able to fulfill the entrustment of the father.”
Qi Shaorong forced a smile and said, “Second Prince, you really think highly of me.”
“With the relationship between you and the young master of Tianlong Firm, Young Master Qi, it shouldn’t be difficult to get some mithril sea sand.” Tang Tianfeng said.
Qi Shaorong smiled wryly, showing a look of melancholy, “It’s not easy to say! Mithril sea sand is a forbidden product of the Sea Tribes, even the young master of Tianlong Firm also finds it very difficult to get it! Second Prince, you know how difficult it is to get the forbidden product of the Sea Tribes.”
Tang Tianfeng forced a smile, and said: “It’s because it’s difficult to complete, so it has to be left to a peerless talent like you, Young Master Qi, to complete!”
Qi Shaorong smiled and said: “Second Prince, you think too highly of me.”
“It’s not that I think highly of Shao Qi, but that you have this ability, Young Master Qi.” Tang Tianfeng said.
Qi Shaorong looked at Tang Tianfeng and said, “It takes time to get this mithril sea sand.”
Tang Tianfeng patted Qi Shaorong on the shoulder, and said righteously: “The battle on the front line is imminent, and the lives of millions of soldiers on the front line are entrusted to you, Young Master Qi. For the glory of the Yuan Country, I’ll have to trouble you.”
Qi Shaorong: “……”
Qi Shaorong looked at Tang Tianfeng with a strange feeling in his heart. No wonder Bi Liuyun didn’t want to take over the throne of the Mermaid Clan. The feeling of being entrusted with such a heavy responsibility is really terrible.
…………
“Young Master Zhuang.” Tang Tianfeng called to stop Zhuang Hao.
Zhuang Hao turned around and looked at Tang Tianfeng, and greeted, “Second Prince.”
“I stayed in the City Lord’s Mansion for several days, but I rarely saw you! I wanted to talk to you, but I didn’t have a chance.” Tang Tianfeng said regretfully.
Zhuang Hao sighed, and lamented: “It can’t be helped, Shaorong likes to do experiments in dark places, and he must be accompanied by me, if I don’t accompany him, he’ll feel lonely.”
Tang Tianfeng looked at Zhuang Hao’s shy face, and couldn’t help feeling a chill in his heart.
Zhuang Hao looked at Tang Tianfeng and said, “Second Prince, are you used to living in the City Lord’s Mansion?”
“The City Lord’s Mansion is very good, the accommodation is good, the food is good, I don’t even want to leave.” Knowing that Zhuang Hao was urging him to leave, Tang Tianfeng smiled calmly.
Zhuang Hao looked at Tang Tianfeng and said, “No matter how good the City Lord’s Mansion is, it can’t compare to the Imperial Capital.”
“In that case, Young Master Zhuang, why would you stay here willingly?” Tang Tianfeng asked.
“Me? Of course I’m here because Shaorong is here, so I’m here too.” Zhuang Hao said naturally.
Tang Tianfeng: “……”
Tang Tianfeng came out this time, shouldering the important task of finding out Zhuang Hao’s strength. Now that Zhuang Hao was standing in front of him, Tang Tianfeng couldn’t feel Zhuang Hao’s strength at all. The feeling of him not being able to detect Zhuang Hao’s strength at all made Tang Tianfeng very frustrated .
Under normal circumstances, only when there is a huge difference in strength can the opponent’s strength be undetectable.
“Ah-Hao, before there was news of you and Young Master Qi’s death in the imperial capital, my father was very worried. Fortunately, both of you are fine.” Tang Tianfeng smiled and said.
Zhuang Hao smiled, and thought to himself: The emperor is worried that we’re not dead.
“I’m lucky and fateful, how could something happen!” Zhuang Hao said nonchalantly.
Tang Tianfeng nodded, and said: “Right! Ah-Hao, you have a long history of blessings, so naturally nothing will happen. However, you and Young Master Qi have been missing for a long time. Where have you two gone?”
"Is mithril sea sand so difficult to get?" Tang Tianfeng strained a smile.Zhuang Hao nodded and replied, “Naturally.”
……
Zhuang Hao walked into the laboratory, Qi Shaorong looked at Zhuang Hao and said, “You seem to be late.”
“On the way, I stumbled upon the Second Prince. ” Zhuang Hao said.
“Did he do anything?”
“He seems to have secretly tested my strength.”
Qi Shaorong looked at Zhuang Hao and questioned, “Then he knows?”
“He’s too weak, he shouldn’t be able to see through anything.” Zhuang Hao said.
Qi Shaorong: “……” Too weak, Zhuang Hao is really arrogant!
Zhuang Hao looked at Qi Shaorong and questioned, “Why are you looking at me like that?”
“You said, the Second Prince is too weak?” Qi Shaorong asked.
Zhuang Hao nodded, “Yes!”
Qi Shaorong: “……” If Tang Tianfeng heard Zhuang Hao’s words, he would probably die of anger.
T/N: If QSR knew what ZH said to TTF, ZH would be dead 
2 more days then it’s summer vacation 🥳
Thank you… This is the chicken soup to my soul.
Royal family is so annoying. Maybe QSR and the gang should just kill them all and be done with it.
It seems like there’s a bit of text missing? When Second Prince asks where were they gone and the next question is about mithril sand – looks like Zhuang Hao didn’t reply him.
The prince might’ve assumed they would claim they were missing to look for the sand so asked if it was rly hard to get. That’s how I read it at least.
Or he changed the topic abruptly.
Maybe. Looked a bit weird though.
I agree. Wat u said is something I initially suspected too so it feels more possible. Maybe itll get fixed soon.
Thanks for the chapter
