Chapter 385: Dongfang Xiang's Curiosity
Despite the handsome, definitely attractive look on this young man's face, Su Xiaotian couldn't help but feel a strong repulsion welling from deep within him as he looked at this young man donning a purple dragon robe on his streamlined stature, the reason for such strong reaction from him being the fact that this young man's figure is already well known even during this time within the Central Province, but different from his sibling's great reputation among the masses there, his is an unrivaled infamy due to his misdeeds.
"Third Prince of the Imperial Court, Long Moxie" the immortal-like young man mutters to himself as he observes the seemingly unbothered young man, deep inside him, a raging tempest starts to brew as he recalls all the troubles that this young man had brought upon him.

One of the five young successors of the Imperial Court, this third prince is someone so frivolous and perverted that many of his tales of debauchery spread all across the entire vastness of the Central Province, his misdeeds of chasing after women, no matter their status, uncaring whether they are betrothed or married or not, earning him the title of 'Men's Number One Enemy' yet despite the genuine wrath of the people whom lovers was forcefully stolen by him, there's nothing they can do given his status within the Imperial Court.
Amidst this amorous mask though, he is not called one of the five young successors for naught, given that there are hundreds, if not thousands of young princes and princesses who are all technically eligible for this title, all of them being talents of at the very least a considerable caliber, showing just how talented this amorous young prince is.
Based on what Su Xiaotian remembers though, he isn't exactly the greatest among those five successors in terms of cultivation and talent, in fact, he can even be considered among the lowest two of these five people, however, what he lacks in terms of physical might, he makes up with his overwhelming intellectual prowess, something that gives even him quite the trouble before he manages to eliminate him in the previous timeline.
As far as he knows, he is the most likely culprit of how the Imperial Court and Extreme Martial Sect collaborated in order to trap him during that 'martial competition' specifically held in order to capture him, his wits something troublesome for the him back then, however, as for his current mind…
'I doubt that he can even cause me any sort of trouble now' he thought to himself as the happenings that proceed in that timeline are something that will only take place a few more years from now, meaning that whatever it is that made this third prince the man he encountered and battled in a war of wits in the previous timeline, has yet to happen now, a conclusion that the immortal-like young man has come up with given how vastly different the air around him is.
'Should I just eliminate him now?' looking at this future headache should he develop into the strategical genius that he became in the previous timeline, Su Xiaotian couldn't help but feel tempted by these dark thoughts, his murderous intent even rising through the air as the thought pops into his mind, however, as much as he would like to do as such, and given that he also has the capability of doing so, he still chooses not to, at least, for now.
'Auntie Jianxue's Dao Seeking Mountain is definitely going to be implicated' given how overbearing the Imperial Court usually acts, based on the rumors he is hearing now and based on his memories of them during the previous timeline, Su Xiaotian decided not to make a move for now, even going as far as not to do the most convenient thing in his arsenal for doing this sort of killings, planting a volatile mass of Primordial Nihility Transcendent Qi within anywhere in the target's body in order to corrode them from inside out.
'The Imperial Court is definitely going to find a way to connect this Dao Enlightenment Competition to the death of this Long Moxie… I should plan better ways to do it, I have plenty of time now anyways' Su Xiaotian thought to himself as his murderous intent completely dissipated as he sat down on a lotus position and started meditating, mostly trying to figure out the newest addition to his body, the network of temporal rule acting as a channel inside him.

'What the hell is that…' as they stare towards the flat mountain top holding all of the geniuses participating in this contest, included within those people being the young masters and ladies of their respective forces, the guardians of those young men and women, particularly the powerful extraterrestrials that just came to visit and explore this continent, couldn't help but wonder with fear creeping up on them as they felt that boundless murderous intent as well.
'Just what sort of monster is in that platform for such terrifying killing intent to come out of it!?' most of the guardians from the extraterrestrial forces wonder in terror as they already stand, preparing to take away the young geniuses they are guarding at a moment notice given that even them feels like their life is in danger just from that intent alone.
Only one of them remains in their current position, sitting on the chair given to them while her eyes remain fixated on the young beauty she is guarding, her gaze shifting towards two things, the Dao Resonating Rock and the source of this killing intent occasionally.
"They're safe, no need to worry about them…" seeing that the people from their kingdom were panicking like that, this calm beauty, Dongfang Xiang, couldn't help but look towards them in disdain for but a moment before her attention returned toward the location of the first trial once again, her words making all of those people, even the ones who have negative opinion of her, relieved.
What made them believe these words from this mature beauty is the fact that she values her niece probably even more than her own life, and the fact that she has yet to make a move to save her dear niece from what they all think is a terrible disaster is the only testament they need in order to believe her claims.
Despite the looks on these people's faces as if they want her to explain to them what is happening there, Dongfang Xiang merely continues observing what is happening to the first trial, mainly watching how her niece performs.
'She's doing great…' she took note as she saw the peaceful look on her niece's gorgeous face, this young lady seemingly not even bothered by the illusion the slightest, making this mature beauty observing her release a sigh of relief.
After she finishes observing her dear niece, Dongfang Xiang's attention is then directed towards the immortal-like young man whom she manages to pinpoint as the source of that blood-curdling killing intent, the fact that this sort of feeling came out of a cultivator as young as him making her more and more curious of him.
'Just what sort of things are you hiding, young man?'
