“Young Master Chen, are you really planning to cooperate with that Third Prince?” Yuer from Starry Branch blinked and asked.
“That depends on the attitude of the Third Prince. If he wants to cooperate, I certainly don't mind. If he doesn't want to cooperate, then I definitely won't let him leave here,” Xing Chen said, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. The situation in Star City was tense; if the Third Prince truly refused to cooperate, Xing Chen would not give him the chance to ally with other forces.
“Our relationship with the royal family has never been good; it might be difficult to cooperate this time!” Yuer said with some concern.
“When it comes to interests, nothing is impossible,” Xing Chen replied slowly. “Yuer, when the Third Prince arrives later, if he has any other thoughts, just let the brothers take him down. If he enters my Starry Branch and doesn't follow my wishes, I don't believe he can escape.”
“Young Master Chen, rest assured, Yuer understands,” Yuer said with a light smile and a nod.
“Hmm.” Xing Chen nodded, a thoughtful light appearing in his eyes again.
“Reporting to Helmsman, people from the Eastern Sun Gang have arrived in Star City,” a disciple came in to report.
“Eastern Sun Gang?” A sharp light flashed in Xing Chen's eyes. He didn't expect the people from the Eastern Sun Gang to arrive so quickly; it seemed they had also caught wind of something! Xing Chen thought to himself.
“Do you know who is leading the Eastern Sun Gang this time?” Xing Chen asked, looking at the disciple below.
“The main person in charge of the Eastern Sun Gang this time is the Hall Master of Lingyun Hall, as well as the daughter of the gang leader, Xu Dongyang. Her name is Xu Yuxi,” the disciple quickly answered.
“Is there any other force entering Star City, besides the Eastern Sun Gang?” Xing Chen pressed his fingers against his forehead and spoke calmly.
“So far, no other forces have entered Star City, but some forces are already heading towards it,” the disciple replied after a moment of thought.
“Hmm, have you figured out where the Eastern Sun Gang is staying?” Xing Chen nodded and then asked.
“They are temporarily staying at the Star Inn, and among them are several strong individuals who have reached the Soul Realm,” the disciple respectfully answered.
“Soul Realm…” Xing Chen raised an eyebrow slightly. He didn't think that the strength dispatched by the Eastern Sun Gang this time was too strong; on the contrary, he felt that their effort was somewhat perfunctory. In his opinion, they should have sent at least one strong individual from the Yang Spirit Realm, yet their strongest was only at the level of Soul Realm.
“Young Master Chen, do you think the forces they sent are too weak?” At this moment, Yuer chuckled lightly beside him.
“Indeed, the forces they sent are somewhat weak.” Xing Chen nodded. Logically, the Eastern Sun Gang should not be unaware of the importance of this matter, yet the strength they dispatched was insufficient, which made Xing Chen feel that something was amiss.
“Actually, it's quite simple. The Eastern Sun Gang likely has more reinforcements, and it’s possible that strong individuals from the Yang Spirit Realm are hidden among those people without our notice,” Yuer said with a wink and a smile.
“So they are just trying to create a diversion. It seems that the royal family has sent more than just this one Third Prince,” Xing Chen pondered for a moment before slowly saying, “It looks like this place is really going to become a land of chaos.”
Seeing Xing Chen frowning deeply, Yuer couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh lightly. To her, things were not that complicated at all, while Xing Chen seemed to be overthinking it.
“Yuer, what are you laughing at?” At this moment, Xing Chen noticed Yuer who had been laughing continuously beside him and turned to ask.
“Young Master Chen, you really don’t need to think so much. When the time comes, we just need to do what we have to do. With the strength of our Azure Cloud Gang, it would be nearly impossible for the royal family to stop us,” Yuer said with a smile after pursing her lips.
“You're right; thinking about these things is indeed useless. In the face of absolute power, all schemes are futile,” Xing Chen nodded in agreement with Yuer. With the strength of the Azure Cloud Gang, if they wanted to accomplish something, no one could stop them.
“Hehe, Young Master Chen, do we still need to join forces with the royal family?” Yuer smiled and then blinked her big eyes at Xing Chen.
“For matters that only bring benefits and no drawbacks, I never refuse. However, the premise of joining forces is that I must gain sufficient benefits,” Xing Chen said with a slight smile at the corners of his mouth.
“Helmsman, the royal family's Third Prince has arrived.” At this moment, another disciple walked in from outside.
“Let him in!” Xing Chen nodded and said.
“Yes, Helmsman.” The disciple cupped his fists in response and then slowly retreated.
“Haha... This must be Yun Qing, the Leader of the Qingyun Gang's Closed-Door Disciple, Xing Chen!” A loud laugh came from outside shortly after, followed by a handsome young man dressed in white entering.
“Royal family’s Third Prince, I have long admired your name,” Xing Chen stood up and said calmly to Third Prince.
"Where, where, compared to Yun Qing, the Leader of the Qingyun Gang's disciples, what great name do I still have?" Third Prince shook his head and smiled lightly, pretending to be humble.
"I wonder what Third Prince intends to discuss?" Xing Chen did not continue with his pretense and directly got to the point.
"Hehe, I'm here mainly to discuss matters regarding the Zhang Family with Xing Chen Helmsman." Seeing that Xing Chen had no intention of coming down to talk with him, Third Prince was not angry at all; he simply found a seat and sat down, looking at Xing Chen with a smile.
"Oh? So what does Third Prince mean?" Upon seeing that Third Prince showed no arrogance typical of royal offspring and was not angry due to his attitude, Xing Chen immediately concluded that this Third Prince was definitely not simple.
"The Zhang Family is colluding with the Sword Sect of the Sword Kingdom, which has posed a significant threat to my Sun Kingdom. For such traitors who wish to betray the country, our royal family naturally cannot allow them to continue existing," Third Prince said solemnly. Of course, he knew that his words were just casual talk and could not deceive anyone, so he did not expect Xing Chen to believe him.
"Third Prince makes a valid point; we indeed cannot be lenient towards such traitors." Xing Chen nodded. In fact, he was well aware of what Third Prince was really calculating—he merely wanted to take this opportunity to eliminate the Zhang Family. Otherwise, when the Sword Sect's Divine Weapon was completed, if the Zhang Family obstructed them again, it would definitely cause everyone to lose their chance. However, it was best for both sides to understand this without saying it out loud.
"Then may I ask if Xing Chen Helmsman is willing to support me?" Third Prince looked at Xing Chen and asked.
"I will naturally help as much as I can. After all, I am also from the Sun Kingdom, and I cannot tolerate these traitors colluding with foreign powers," Xing Chen replied after pondering for a moment.
"Hehe, indeed, Xing Chen Helmsman is reasonable. Then I would like to thank you in advance; we shall settle this matter as agreed." A glint of joy flashed in Third Prince's eyes; he did not expect things to proceed so smoothly and that Xing Chen would agree so easily.
"Then may I ask when does Third Prince plan to take action? My Starry Branch will certainly return to assist," Xing Chen raised his head and looked at Third Prince, a rare smile appearing on his face.
"This matter requires careful planning. Just now I saw that people from the Eastern Sun Gang have also arrived in Star City, and they probably want to get involved in that matter as well!" Third Prince said with a slight flicker in his gaze.
"That is indeed correct; I have also received news that people from the Eastern Sun Gang have indeed come to Star City." Xing Chen nodded; he was well aware of what the matter referred to by Third Prince was.
"In my opinion, now is not a good time to act. There are likely still some forces and strong individuals coming into the city soon. At that time, this place will definitely become a hotbed of conflict. Therefore, I believe our two major forces should unite together to face the changes ahead. What does Xing Chen Helmsman think of my words?" Third Prince looked at Xing Chen.
"Third Prince, you are exactly right; under such circumstances, we must unite our strengths. As for the Zhang Family, surrounded by so many powerful forces, they certainly won't be able to stir up much trouble. Thus, there is no need to rush in dealing with them," Xing Chen agreed wholeheartedly.
"Good! Since that's the case, our two families will officially form an alliance. In the future, I hope you will take care of us more, Xing Chen Helmsman!” Third Prince stood up and laughed heartily.
"Where is the Third Prince? He should take good care of us at Starry Branch!" Xing Chen also stood up at this moment and cupped his fists towards Third Prince.
"Since things have been settled, I will take my leave now," Third Prince said with a smile.
"Yuer," Xing Chen signaled to Yuer beside him, indicating for him to see Third Prince off.
Third Prince did not show any extreme reaction to Xing Chen not personally seeing him off, and there was no change in his expression, which indicated that he was a person of great depth. Xing Chen also felt some apprehension towards him.
"Young Master Chen, are we really forming an alliance with him?" After a moment, Yuer re-entered the main hall and looked at Xing Chen.
"Well, we have nothing to lose, so let's form the alliance!" Xing Chen replied casually. "What do you think of this Third Prince, Yuer?"
"He is a very calculating person; I don't like dealing with such people," Yuer said after thinking for a moment.
"Report to Helmsman, there are people from the Eastern Sun Gang requesting an audience!" Just as Xing Chen was about to speak, a disciple rushed in from outside.
"People from the Eastern Sun Gang? Do you know their names?" Xing Chen looked at the person in surprise. Although the relationship between the Eastern Sun Gang and the Azure Cloud Gang was not yet hostile, they definitely wanted to eliminate each other. Logically, it was impossible for someone from the Eastern Sun Gang to come to their Starry Branch.
"Reporting to Helmsman, it seems that the visitor is the eldest sister of the Eastern Sun Gang, Xu Yuxi!"
