And not a second later after he entered, the gatekeeper announced.

"His Majesty, the reverend Emperor has arrived!" As the announcement fell, everyone bent down and prostrated on the ground, Fu Lin not excluded.

"Long live your Majesty, the Emperor!"

"Long live your Majesty, the Emperor!"

"Arise."

His servants rose up from their kneeling position, and Fu Lin finally raised his eyes to take a good look at his father's appearance.

The Emperor sat on the impressive throne in the stadium above. He was dressed in a golden robe laced with dragon engravings, his long white hair was tied with a jade hairpin as it sparkled under the light. Age had caught up to him, yet his deep brown eyes still contained so much pressure as he watched the scene below him. His regal bearing fit as the ruler of an empire.

While he was examining the Emperor, the Emperor himself did the same to him. After a minute of silence, the old ruler cocked his head slightly to the side. "It's been a while since we've met, Imperial Crown Prince Fu Lin."

Fu Lin responded with a humble bow.

The Emperor studied him for a while before opening his mouth, "We(2) were informed that you have successfully obliterated 15,000 Hans with a mere 8,000 soldiers. Do tell me, how true is this information?"

Fu Lin gave a firm gaze and replied, "It is 100% true, your Majesty. However, I could not do so without the help of Vice Commander Wen Ju and other soldiers."

"And about your battle against General Yan and his death?"

"All true, your Majesty."

As his statement fell, the audience chamber successively gasped in surprise and immediately fell into a raucous atmosphere. Several prime ministers and high ranking nobles whispered to one another, disbelief clearly plastered on their faces.

"How is that possible? I remember that the Crown Prince was currently only 18 years old. He had not even reached adulthood!"

"I remember when I was 18, I was still playing around— going to casinos or bars during the day and brothels during the night."

"Even if during his previous years that he had shown his brilliance and high ability, it wasn't enough to fight against General Yan who was an experienced soldier!"

"His 2 years experience against General Yan's 20 years of experience? It just doesn't make any sense!"

"Then are you saying that he has been hiding his true ability all along? But why would he do so?"

"Silence!" The Emperor roared and the raucous atmosphere faded.

The old ruler observed the only son he had groomed since he was young, but a sense of unfamiliarity rose within him.

Yes. The question is right. How did he do it?

"Crown Prince Fu Lin, do you care to elaborate?"

Fu Lin did not show a hint of panic or nervousness on his face. The young man pulled out a record book out of his robes, and passed it onto the Head Eunuch who was standing by the side.

The Head eunuch read the book once and his curiosity was replaced by shock and admiration. He quickly passed by the book to the Emperor right away to show him the crucial information.

The Crown Prince took this chance to explain himself, "Ever since I was young, I had always found life outside to be interesting compared to the dull life inside the palace. It all started when I first started to venture life outside the palace secretly. I remembered I was 5 years old during that time and it was raining that day. The streets were empty and all the citizens had taken shelter in their own home.
