"No need for formalities, letâs not be strangers. If thereâs nothing else, shall I go inside?"
Su Yue pointed to the city gate.
At the same time, he removed his badge.
"Farewell, Marquis."
The martial artists saluted in unison, making Su Yue feel rather embarrassed.
Being a prince at such a young age, itâs his first time, and heâs still not quite used to it.
After entering the city, as Su Yue wasnât wearing the badge, the journey passed much more quietly. Bao Dachang led the group onto the vehicle headed for Jiangwu.
In the car, the five of them stared at Su Yue intently, neglecting the local customs of Jiangyuan Country, and instead all focused on Su Yue, awaiting an explanation.
When passing through the city gate, Bao Dachang had briefly explained to them the significance of the marquis badge.
This is a damn prince.
Itâs absolutely absurd.
Weâre all native people of Divine Land, when did you, Su Yue, become a prince?
This matter is downright bizarre.
"Su Yue, be honest, did you betray your country?"
Wang Lu Feng asked cautiously.
"Shut up."
Su Yue replied.
"I figured it out, you secretly married the Jiangyuan Country kingâs sister.
"As far as I know, the Jiangyuan Country king must be around 60 years old. The previous king died long ago, deducing from this, the kingâs sister must be at least 50 years old.
"Su Yue, oh Su Yue.
"Youâre quite ruthless to yourself, willing to do anything for fame and fortune.
"How could you betray Mu Cheng like this!"
Wang Lu Feng frowned, calculated fiercely, and suddenly opened his eyes like a detective.
At that moment, Gong Ling and the others looked at Su Yue in astonishment.
"Wang Lu Feng, are you brainless.
"Iâm the prince, not the prince consort, are you a pig head?"
Su Yue felt like kicking this fellow to death.
In high school, he spread rumors that Su Yue was a scumbag, and now he still dares to start rumors.
Heâs a gold medal bad friend... no, if he goes too far, thereâs no way to continue being friends.
Have to find an opportunity to deal with this bastard.
"The Jiangyuan Country king only had one sister, and she died in battle over 20 years ago."
Bao Dachang added.
"Wang Lu Feng, do you remember Zhiwuâs task?"
Su Yue asked.
"Of course!"
Wang Lu Feng replied absent-mindedly, still furrowing his brows, analyzing Su Yue.
"Stop imagining things, this badge is just one of the rewards for completing the task."
Su Yue sneered.
He had to explain, otherwise this bastard could come up with 200 different answers, rumors are relentless.
"But wait, I also participated in the task, why donât I have a marquis badge?
"Forget the marquis, at least give me an earlâs badge."
Upon hearing this, Wang Lu Feng was infuriated, nearly becoming withdrawn.
All good things have been monopolized by Su Yue.
"Maybe you lack the aura of a marquis? Youâre too creepy, canât even win a girlfriend."
Su Yue shook his head.
As for the badge, it was left at that, and everyone roughly understood its origin.
Bao Dachang also reminded Su Yue that with this marquis badge, he could eat and drink for free in Jiangwu City and had a status as high as the principal of Jiangwu.
Apart from having no real power, Su Yue could do anything within the scope of the rules.
Wang Lu Feng was depressed, sighing all the way.
Su Yueâs jab about not being able to win a girlfriend was too piercing.
Du Jingâs Book and the others were already shocked by Su Yue.
It was then that they began to observe Jiangwu City.
As Jiangyuan Countryâs second-largest city, Jiangwu City is actually quite large, but the streets are narrow, the road surfaces arenât as wide and tidy as in Divine Land, with bumps along the way making the ride uncomfortable.
Throughout the journey, Bao Dachang introduced the history of Jiangwu City to them.
Half of Jiangwu Cityâs area belongs to Jiangyuan Martial Arts University.
The facilities and houses on the other side are actually to serve Jiangwu, mostly inhabited by martial artist families.
Actually, based on Jiangyuan Countryâs population ratio, martial artists arenât considered rare.
There are also many Jiangwu students.
But sadly, even in a city as large as Jiangwu City, there are still hordes of beggars on the streets, many children in tattered clothes scrambling for food, rummaging through trash bins.
Jiangwu City doesnât have many skyscrapers either; it resembles a small county town of Divine Land.
According to Bao Dachang, Jiangyuan Country firstly doesnât have extra financial resources for construction, secondly, itâs unnecessary. In case an alien race invades, all resources would be wasted.
"Brother Bao, whatâs that strange tall building?"
Suddenly, they saw not far away, a giant structure resembling a radar, entirely gray, looking quite intimidating.
This might be the tallest building in Jiangwu City, abruptly standing in the middle, giving off a heavy sense of pressure, making it impossible to ignore.
But this thing definitely canât be a radar.
"Thatâs Jiangyuan Countryâs Burning Radar.
"If aliens invade Jiangwu City, dozens of Fourth-Grade Martial Artists could simultaneously channel Qi Blood, releasing a terrifying ray. Any alien martial artist below Grandmaster level would die upon contact.
"You can consider it a sort of alternative heat weapon."
Through the car window, Bao Dachang explained to Su Yue and the others, looking at the Burning Radar.
"Arenât heat weapons globally banned? Isnât Jiangyuan Country afraid this radar will be seized by aliens and used against humans?"
Gong Ling asked in surprise.
She had seen a lot of historical data at the Warring States Military Academy.
The Yangxiang Race couldnât wait for humans to further study heat weapons, to then replicate them and conquer Earth.
"This is only similar to a heat weapon, and globally, probably only Jiangyuan Countryâs martial artists can use it.
