The illustrious Fifth Prince had made all sorts of preparations in advance.
But the moment he saw Li Chang'an, he was so frightened he cowered like a quail, not even daring to utter a single threat.
After witnessing this, the crowd of thugs who had come with the Fifth Prince all looked at each other in dismay, unsure of what to do.
'Weren't they supposed to "take care of" this Prince on their way to the Royal Clan's Grand Tournament?'
'So what was this supposed to be?'
But since the Fifth Prince gave no order, they didn't dare to act. They could only follow behind, lost in their own thoughts, as they headed toward the Martial Arts Hall in the rear palace grounds.
Inside the Library Pavilion, the old man witnessed the entire exchange.
He grew increasingly pleased with Li Chang'an's character.
He had deliberately fanned the flames, his goal being to test the limits of this young man, Li Chang'an.
It was now clear that Li Chang'an's performance had exceeded his expectations.
