Upon seeing the Second Prince trapped, the six guards immediately surrounded Huo Feng. One of them shouted, "Release the Second Prince at once, or don't blame us for being rude."
Seeing their arrogance, Huo Feng casually twirled the ring in his hand with his finger. He said nonchalantly, "Are you begging me? Or are you threatening me? I'm not very bright, so please give me a clear attitude. Otherwise, I might misunderstand."
The man was infuriated by this remark. Ever since he became a palace guard, no one had dared to speak to him like that. However, he could only endure it for now, as his master was still under Huo Feng's control.
He had to lower his head and said stiffly, "Please release the Second Prince."
"I don't buy this act. You bunch of dogs, as citizens of the nation, actually follow such a worthless master and do nothing good. Now that your master is down, you come to me with this attitude to beg?"
Huo Feng despised those who consumed resources provided by the people yet engaged in immoral acts. This time, he intended to teach them a lesson.
The man angrily asked, "What do you want?"
At this moment, Huo Feng stopped his actions and said lightly, "It's simple. You six use Origin Force to declare into the air: 'We are the parasites of the nation; we have wronged our country and our people.' After each line, slap yourselves hard enough to hear it. Do it continuously for ten times, and I'll let him go."
His words made the six men seethe with anger. Among them was an older man with graying hair, considered one of the top experts. They had never been insulted like this before; no one dared to humiliate them in such a manner—yet here was Huo Feng doing just that.
Seeing that they hadn’t made a sound after a while, Huo Feng remarked, "It seems you've been living too well in the palace these years and neglected your training. Why can't I hear anything?"
With a thought from Huo Feng, he waved his hand toward that space. Instantly, it became chaotic as if it were about to explode at any moment.
Seeing this scene, the six men turned pale. However, upon seeing Huo Feng's indifferent expression, they feared what he might do to the Second Prince.
At this moment, the first speaker spoke again: "Stop! We'll do as you say. If you dare not keep your word, you'll regret it."
"Captain," someone beside him shouted in confusion.
"What do you mean? Is my message not clear enough? If something happens to the Second Prince, we will all die. Accept your fate," the one who spoke first yelled.
He seemed to have made up his mind, took a deep breath, and then summoned his Origin Force, shouting into the air: "We are the parasites of the nation; we have wronged our country and our people."
After shouting, he raised his hand, which trembled in the air. After a long moment, he slapped his own cheek hard.
Seeing their captain do this, the others had no choice but to follow suit.
Suddenly, the voices of the six echoed throughout the Holy City. Countless families opened their windows to look in this direction, and some bolder ones even stepped outside to witness the scene.
At this moment, Huo Feng speculated, "Surely the Emperor and those in the palace must know by now; they should be hiding in the shadows watching. I want to take this opportunity to show you all a lesson—do not oppress others at will—and see how your Emperor will handle this."
Soon, the six finished their chant, and their faces were already red and swollen.
The captain stepped forward and said, "We have done as instructed; please release the Second Prince."
Huo Feng smiled lightly and replied, "I always keep my word. As soon as I step outside a hundred meters from here, this space will automatically disappear."
"Who knows if what you say is true?" The captain said while covering his face, looking quite comical, though Huo Feng could not see it.
Hearing this, Huo Feng revealed a cold smile but quickly turned serious again. "Remember, I am not like you; I am a person of integrity."
Ignoring them completely, she walked alone to Ruo Xi and the others.
Upon seeing Huo Feng approach, Ruo Xi greeted him with a bright smile. Meanwhile, Xuanran had a somewhat complicated expression. Only Nangong Yu stood there with his mouth slightly open, staring blankly.
Ruo Xi walked up to her, waved her hand in front of her eyes, and said, "Hey! Are you daydreaming? Let's go back."
At that moment, Nangong Yu snapped back to reality and looked at Huo Feng, saying helplessly, "It's really a shock to follow you around everywhere. If the Emperor blames us, we're done for."
Although Huo Feng couldn't see it, he sensed that Xuanran was not in a good mood, so he joked, "But there's still Brother Xuanran here, so there's nothing to fear. Besides, I haven't really done anything to them."
Xuanran chuckled and replied, "That's right; after all, I am the dignified Third Prince."
With that, everyone laughed. Then Huo Feng said, "Let's go; we should head to the Southern Mansion first."
The four of them then made their way toward the Southern Mansion.
Meanwhile, above the palace, the Emperor stood there looking dejected. He muttered to himself, "Sigh! Among my three sons, the eldest is focused solely on martial arts and ignores everything else. The second son is capable but too autocratic and unpopular. As for the Third Son, he's kind-hearted but has made some decent friends in foreign relations. It seems I need to put some thought into this."
With that, the Emperor turned and disappeared into the palace.
When Huo Feng and the others entered the Southern Mansion, Nangong Wuqing was pacing back and forth in the hall, occasionally shaking his head.
"Dad, we're back! What are you pacing around for?"
Seeing Nangong Wuqing walking back and forth as soon as they returned, Nangong Yu curiously walked over and tugged at his arm.
"You finally came back; I was so worried about you all," said the person sitting in the chair.
Nangong Wuqing picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, and continued, "Why did you provoke the Second Prince? If the Emperor gets angry, we are all finished."
"Dad, we are fine. Besides, we still have the Third Prince with us," Nangong Yu said while gesturing towards Xuanran.
"Xuanran? Third Prince?"
Nangong Wuqing was confused, and at that moment, Nangong Yu began to explain everything slowly. Xuanran smiled awkwardly.
Huo Feng, who had been listening to their conversation with a smile, suddenly turned pale. Without saying anything, he rushed outside.
Ruo Xi quickly followed him, asking with concern as she chased after him, "Brother Feng, what's wrong all of a sudden at this late hour?"
"Don't ask; just lead the way. We need to go back to Nottingham City," Huo Feng said anxiously.
At this time, Nangong Yu and Xuanran also caught up, but Huo Feng didn't say a word along the way; he just hurried forward with a serious expression.
