Chapter 780: Chapter 780 – Eighth Prince
Chapter 780: Eighth Prince
“Boss, conflict has appeared at the borders leading to Inner Mongolia . There will definitely be a lot of quests that will pop up . This is a good matter . Why aren’t we taking up all of it but letting those Class One Hall bastards taking advantage of it?”
A few of Langye’s trusted followers in Sky Penetrating Tower could not understand why their tower master had sent messenger pigeons over .
Langye was Sky Penetrating Tower’s master, and they had up to fifty thousand members now . He was currently the master of the second biggest force in Beijing .
Recently, Langye had become fast friends with Class One Hall again . After he got to know how stable was Class One Hall’s strength and how much they had improved, he became closer to them .
The people in Sky Penetrating Tower could understand why Langye wanted to form a good relationship with Class One Hall . After all, Class One Hall was gradually becoming stronger, and Langye’s status as the vice commander among the Embroidered Uniform Guards was already not as useful as before . If he wanted to have Sky Penetrating Tower have an even better development at the north in the future, he must have a good relationship with Class One Hall .
But forming a good relationship with them should not mean giving all benefits to Class One Hall . This was clearly an important piece of information from the inner circle of the imperial court, and there was absolutely no need for them to let Class One Hall know about it . Sky Penetrating Tower could absorb this piece of information among themselves and get quite a lot of benefits from it .
Langye sat at the highest chair and smiled mysteriously when he heard this before he waved his hand .
“Don’t worry . Do you actually think that this quest is so easy?”
“Hmm?”
Langye’s few trusted followers looked surprised . “Only the ones involved in the imperial court know about the conflicts with Mongolia . It’s clearly our quest—”
“If this is a quest that only involves the inner parts of China, it’s only par for the course that the Embroidered Uniform Guards, Western Deport, and Eastern Depot can get the quests . But this time, the one in conflict with Mongolia is our army at the borders .
“Think . There’s just no way we can hide such a big matter . ”
“But…” Langye’s few trusted followers still could not accept it . But before they could finish speaking, Langye had already raised his hand and interrupted them .

“I know what you’re thinking . Even if this quest is a quest for those within the imperial court’s system and while Class One Hall has tens of thousands of people, those involved in the imperial court’s system number to the same and some even have rather high ranks in the imperial court, Dream Clouds will still definitely get news about it . Instead of fighting for it with them, it’s better if we share information with them from the start . We might even be able to get a share . ”
Before he finished speaking, a person suddenly walked in briskly, and he spoke urgently, “Tower master! Tower master!”
“What is it? Why are you in such a hurry?” Langye looked up and stared at the newcomer in slight frustration .
“There’s an Embroidered Uniform Guard outside, and he came to send you news . ”
Once he finished speaking, Langye stood up with a whoosh from his seat . His eyes sparkled, and there was faint delight as well as surprise on his face .
When an Embroidered Uniform Guard sent news, it usually meant that an important quest was here, because they will only send Embroidered Uniform Guards for something important .
‘Could it be that they already made their decision about the matter at the borders?’
He said nothing else . Langye just walked outside .
When he saw the Embroidered Uniform Guard who had his back turned to the door, he felt an inexplicable presence come out from him . The others must have felt it too, because there were quite a number of people watching him . Langye’s heart thundered, because the Embroidered Uniform Guard who came here was not a low-ranking guard . He was an Inaction Realm martial artist .
When he heard footsteps behind him, the Embroidered Uniform Guard turned his head slightly, and he cast Langye a glance with a calm face . Then, he said, “Commander Langye, the leader has given orders for me to take you to the commanders . Come with me . ”
Once he finished speaking, he jumped up his horse .
Langye did not dare to neglect his orders . He quickly summoned his Hoof Shadow and followed behind the guard .
“Sir, how may I address you?”
“Luo Ye . ”
The Embroidered Uniform Guard’s voice was dry and cold . He was not willing to even say an extra word .
“I see, so it’s Sir Luo?” Luo Ye quietly tried to pry for more information . “What is the matter behind why the lord asked to see me…?”

“You shouldn’t ask what you shouldn’t . When you arrive, you will naturally know what it is . ”
Luo Ye’s tone became colder . Langye failed in his goal, but in a show of sensibility, he dared not ask any further .
*****
At the Embroidered Uniform Guards’ commanding post, Langye was led by Luo Ye and went into a mansion with a grand presence .
This mansion was a property of the eighth prince in Beijing . The Embroidered Uniform Guards standing at the door were all Inaction Realm elites, and the eighth prince was currently the highest-ranking commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guards!
Langye became even more shocked .
When he arrived at the backyard, the Embroidered Uniform Guards told him to wait before he went inside to make a report .
Langye nodded mechanically .
In truth, this was the first time he came here as well, and it was also the first time he met the legendary eighth prince . It was only natural for him to feel nervous and excited . He stood outside the door apprehensively while he waited to be summoned .
“Come in . ”
The voice inside was lackadaisical but awe-inspiring . Even though the voice was not loud, when Langye heard it, he felt as if thunder had just clapped by his ears .
The door opened .
Luo Ye came out and gave him a look as a gesture for Langye to go in .
“Understood . ” Langye gulped nervously and smoothed out his clothes before he cautiously walked inside . All the while, he felt so nervous that it made him dizzy, and it felt as if he was floating .
The people in the imperial court were completely different from the wandering martial artists .
The wandering martial artists cared about was their presence . Their gazes, presence, and giving off an imposing air . Usually, when they looked over, they can give off an air of freedom that will make them seem unfathomable .
But those people in the imperial court, especially those like the eighth prince, who have always been above others in terms of rank and had royal power in their hands which allowed them to control the world of martial artists gave off a majestic presence naturally . Their pride and might came from within their soul, and they were born with it . Anyone who came before the eighth prince will feel as if they were born inferior to him .
That was what Langye currently felt .
Even though the eighth prince was currently being served by a few beautiful women while he laid against his chair in a very lackadaisical manner, he looked incredibly ostentatious and was like a man who lived indulging himself in the high life . He did not seem powerful, but when he looked over and saw Langye scrutinizing him in shock, Langye looked as if he was struck by lightning . He quickly lowered his head and did not dare look at him anymore out of fear .
“Is he the martial artist you said was rather famous in the world of martial artists?” The eighth prince cast Langye an indifferent glance before he soon his eyes away while he said these words to the person beside him .
Aside from the eighth prince the handful of beautiful women in the lavish, extravagant, and pompous hall, there were also two strong men who were built like hills standing beside him .
One of them was the leader of the Embroidered Uniform Guards .
The leader swept his gaze over Langye before he said firmly, “Your Highness, it is him . This boy is pretty good . Even though his qi realm is not high, he can fight against the subordinates who are of average skill . He is a pretty good seed among the Embroidered Uniform Guards . This time, we can let him join our mission at the borders, and he might be able to enter His Majesty’s sights . ”
The eighth prince did not answer . He opened his mouth and had a beautiful woman place a purple grape into his mouth, but his eyes landed on the man who stood beside the leader of the Embroidered Uniform Guards . He looked very focused .
The man was built like a hill . He had a suit of armor on him, and there was a shockingly fierce air about him . When he stood inside the house, it caused Langye to feel a great pressure, even though that pressure was intangible .
“What do you think, General Luo?”
The general who was like a hill finally looked away and cast Langye a glance . “Since this is the candidate the leader recommended, I will naturally have no comments about it . But this mission is very important . I hope that he can lead the Embroidered Uniform Guards to perform meritorious deeds and gain glory for His Majesty . Don’t let those wandering martial artists snatch our limelight . ”

YAOS 1 - Limitless Adventures - Yet Another OP Story Book 1
December 23rd 2018: Book 1 is now up at Smashwords and at Amazon. December 30th 2018: V1.1.2 of YAOS Book 1 is out, some content additions, fixed typos. Amazon's enhanced typesetting now displays tables properly. YAOS is shown through the eyes of some genius athlete getting OP inside a VR, ah wait, Full Immersion game, ?F.I.O?. Not a Hero, not a Nerd, just a driven individual paying for mistakes made, biding time until he can return to the Real World. He isn't defined like you'd normally do it, you can pick his looks and name all on your own, just like you do in video games. Believe it or not, keeping his looks undefined is harder than you think. His backstory isn't expounded in detail, but it drives his choices. Book 1 isn't about depressing sob stories but about fun and rushing forward, pursuing new horizons. Oh, and you'll end on a cliffhanger! Well, most serials do, so you will probably expect that without being told explicitly. But it isn't that bad, there's a lot of reveals and more to come once this book, that is the first in a planned three-part series, is finally ready for release on amazon et al. The published version will have: 1.) Godawful speaker tags, I hate them, they make you stop thinking and speed up editing so much. In hindsight they should have been in to begin with. But I stand by my goals proclaimed earlier. You guys should think while reading, that is the whole point of the exercise. Apply the knowledge and ideas, improve yourself, get creative! 2.) Pretty colored tables, the damned blue boxes, a lot of work, 69 in one book. Finally fixed amazon's centering issue. Can't say I liked the hours needed to debug that. 3.) The promised Mitara chapters. 4.) A cover! 5.) And lastly, updated polished versions of several chapters. MC shares more of his past, some terrible chapters (esp. 32) finally work. Some new scenes, minor rewrites in parts. Text flow and other issues. The current challenge is to maintain essential ambiguity while satisfying people wanting to know more without thinking three steps ahead. Balancing one with the other is tough. The smut which was in remains, but the story told is not to be superseded by it. A 15+ rating for the first book is also important, not to mention, YAOS wasn't meant to contain any smut to begin with. If the Author can turn to writing full time his output should increase, so please support YAOS #1 once it does finally release. ~Thank You~ No maps so far, that should be in, but is really hard to get done right. Again, tips are appreciated. Update September 2017: Stubbed chapters, sorry guys, currently don't have time to upload them elsewhere, polishing book 1 and 2, writing 3, takes precedence. Book 1 is in heavy editing, too much to keep synced and continuing editing. I'd need a site which offers JS-free rapid managing of chapters and comments. Coding one myself or setting a premade up is out of scope until I'm done with the books. RRL-old offered that, nuff said. This is only here because the author believes in fairies, nobody reads this, most likely. October to December 2017: Life threw some curveballs. February 2018: Book 2 draft 1 completed, at ~150K words. Book 2 is fairly epic in scope, requires 1 rewritten chapter, some editing. Tables and miscellanea are in, but needs at least a grammar pass. March 2018: Book 3 at 28k words, first arc, rest needs serious planning for spin-off and satisfying conclusion. July 2018: Yet another proofing/editing session of books 1-3, 101+ chapters, ~300k words. B3 at 48k, starts out great, but no ETA, no wordcount limit, in flux. But prioritizing my writing cannot be done, I hate the delays as much as you, but you will prefer the whole released in a timely fashion rather than wait. Knowing myself how excruciating waiting can be, at least you'll get significantly polished versions and an ETA on book 2 by release of book 1. December 23rd 2018: Book 1 is now up at Smashwords and in the process at Amazon et. al.. . To all who wait patiently, offered feedback, thanks again!
