[1] Transmigrated Into a World of Villains

The new steward had always served General Su, but he had been recently promoted after the former steward was dismissed.

He had seen Prince Zian a few times before, and each time, it was rather odd. Every time he encountered the seventh prince, the prince seemed to be in a bit of a sorry state.

Yes... each time, the prince's body and face were, more or less, covered in bruises.

Prince Zian: "...I'm looking for my uncle."

"Oh, so you're here for the eldest young master. He's not at the residence right now."

"Where did he go?"

The new steward replied, "He left the estate this afternoon. I'm not sure exactly where he went."

Prince Zian frowned. What should he do now?

【Tonight is the little beauty's poison phase】

【Brother, head to the Shen Residence!】

Holding Ah Bao, Prince Zian said, "Ah Bao, big brother is taking you to the Shen Residence to see if Uncle is there. I've got something important to discuss with him."

Ah Bao calmed down. 【Alright, alright, big brother. This time, we're really on the right track!】

Prince Zian twitched the corner of his mouth.

He couldn't tell Ah Bao that he could hear her thoughts, could he?

He had to come up with a proper excuse to visit Uncle.

Sigh.

He really was quite clever!

So smart.

As soon as Prince Zian arrived at the Shen Residence, even before making his presence known, he saw a figure hurrying away from the estate, heading straight for the outskirts of the capital.

"Huh? Sister, did you see that figure just now? Doesn't that look like Uncle?" Prince Zian rubbed his eyes, but the figure had already disappeared into the distance.

Ah Bao widened her big, round eyes and pressed her little lips together.

【It does!】

【Uncle is going to find that little beauty, Ranran. She must not be at the Shen Residence. Something's going to happen to her.】

【Brother, follow him!】

"It's so late, and Uncle's moving so fast. Something must be wrong. Let's go, big brother will take you to check it out."

【Brother, for once your brain isn't going to waste!】

Exactly.

Prince Zian chuckled inwardly. He really was sharp.

Carrying Ah Bao, Prince Zian followed closely behind Su Jinye as they left the capital.

It seemed that Su Jinye was in such a hurry, distracted even, that he didn't notice someone trailing him.

However, Prince Zian's martial skills were not as good as Su Jinye's. Fortunately, Su Jinye wasn't moving too fast; otherwise, Prince Zian might not have been able to keep up.

At the foot of Mount Taibai, Prince Zian was panting heavily, sure that Su Jinye had already ascended the mountain.

"So... so tired."

【Brother, you big dummy! Mother always tells you to train properly, but you slack off. Now you're falling behind at a critical moment.】

"Once I return to the palace, I will definitely train hard this time."
