Xiao Bing waited patiently in the dark, but it was almost midnight, and these people were still very alert. Xiao Bing thought of something and then crept under the bridge, using two hands and holding on to the edge of the bridge, swung like a monkey toward the other end.
The bridge was at least 200 meters long, and its edge was too narrow to hold on to. Xiao Bing had to grip it tightly with his fingers. Even for a Transforming Strength master, it was impossible to get across the bridge like this. Luckily, Xiao Bing was in Breaking The Void Level, and it was not a problem for him.
After crossing the bridge, Xiao Bing stretched his arms and quietly sneaked into the Kokyo, like a ghost. The guards at the gate did not even notice him.
The imperial residence was heavily guarded, and only a person at Xiao Bing’s level was able to go in and out easily. If a person at the Innate Realm tried to break into it, he would have been discovered, as soon as he left the bridge. Even a man in the Gang-strength Stage with a perfect plan, would have not done it as easily as Xiao Bing did.
Xiao Bing, relying on his speed, ran swiftly into a large hall, without looking for any cover. There was no one around, except for a golden throne in the hall. It looked like a parliament hall, where they should not keep any live prisoners. After looking around, Xiao Bing quietly left.
Even though the entire Kokyo was not as big as Yuanmingyuan or the palace in Huaxia, it was too large to search through every room in one night. Since Xiao Bing was looking for cellars or basements, he had to be careful and meticulous in his search. Then he thought of another question—whether the people he was looking for would be locked up in the Kokyo or not? If they were not, he had to follow Princess Nami, and find some clues.
Xiao Bing spent more than three hours searching through the interior of the Kokyo, but there were two palaces he could not enter. One was the emperor’s palace. When Xiao Bing arrived at the steps outside the palace, he felt many unusual breath fluctuations. Although they seemed weaker than Xiao Bing’s, they were strong and weird, and Xiao Bing could not go in without being noticed.
Another site was the hall next to the palace which had a more terrifying aura than the emperor’s palace. Xiao Bing could feel that the person inside might be as powerful as himself.
Nothing could be found on this night and before being discovered, Xiao Bing had to exit the Kokyo and returned to the hotel when it was dawn.
If Xiao Bing did not leave before dawn, it would be difficult for him not to be discovered, even if he was that good. Xiao Bing was a man, not god, and he still belonged to the human category.
Xiao Bing was looking forward to reaching eternity, but that realm was just a rumor. Some people said that Dharma had reached that level, but he died anyway. So everyone would die and the so-called immortality might not be true. However, it was just a speculation on Xiao Bing’s part, and before he attained it, he was always full of expectation.
Thinking of the strong aura that he felt in the Imperial Palace last night, Xiao Bing finally understood what Monitor said: Don’t belittle the people in Country R. Although it was a tiny country compared to Huaxia, they had studied Martial Arts since ancient times. Although they did not have a more profound foundation than Huaxia, they did have some masters.
Although Xiao Bing was strong, he was unable to defeat a whole country. So he had to change his plan and follow the princess.
Xiao Bing did not sleep all night. He lay in bed from four to ten in the morning. Then he checked out with his small backpack and the long knife, and went to the Sakura Manor by taxi.
Taxis were not allowed into the manor, so Xiao Bing had to alight when he arrived at the gates. He walked forward and two guards immediately stopped him, pointed their guns at him and said, “Stop.”
Xiao Bing took his waist tag out and showed them. He said, “I’m Aoki Ichiro, the princess’s new guard.”
The two soldiers hurriedly put the guns down and saluted him. One of them spoke into the walkie-talkie, “The princess’s new guard, Aoki Ichiro is here. Open the doors and let him in immediately.”
One could tell from their eyes that they respected Xiao Bing very much. After the doors opened, they said apologetically, “Sorry, Mr. Aoki, it was our responsibility to stop anyone who tries to enter.”
Xiao Bing nodded and smiled. “I understand. You have your duties to fulfill and I have mine. Especially since you are soldiers. I am going in.”
“Please enter, Mr. Aoki. In addition, please remember to always carry your waist tag, whenever you come in and go out.”
Xiao Bing smiled and said, “Okay!”

Xiao Bing walked into the courtyard. When he saw the surroundings, he was stunned. How beautiful it was!
The manor had a lot of sakura trees. Even such an iron-blooded man like Xiao Bing could not help being fascinated by the blooms in the flower garden.
“The princess named the manor and asked people to plant the sakura trees. So the whole manor is full of flowers. She loves them.” The 20-year-old soldier, who was not very tall, told Xiao Bing.
Xiao Bing looked at him, and he immediately introduced himself with a smile, “My name is Eguchi Nakayama. Usually, I am the one who deals with the small affairs for the princess, and the General Manager Takahashi takes care of the important stuff.”
Xiao Bing nodded and asked, “Did Princess Nami ask you to bring me in?”
“Yes.” Eguchi Nakayama looked very kind. “She asked me to bring you in.”
“Well then, lead the way.”
Eguchi Nakayama walked ahead, and Xiao Bing followed behind.
“We have a dense population in Jingdong City, so it is very difficult to own a private estate. Few people in the royal family get this kind of treatment. The Emperor has a special affection for Princess Nami, even though she is not a real royal family member. He favors her no less than any princess and prince in the royal family. ”
Xiao Bing looked at the huge manor and said with emotion, “I can see that.”
“In addition, the Princess’s grandfather is the first warrior in the country, and has great prestige. He also likes her very much. She is a little capricious, but she has the right to do that. Even the Prime Minister will give precedence to her.”
Xiao Bing secretly felt that it was good to have a nice elder who loved her. The Prime Minister did not fear her, but he would not want to offend her two grandpas.
“I heard that Mr. Aoki is very strong, and last night Mr. Takahashi praised you. He especially commended Mr. Aoki’s martial arts and psychological qualities in front of the Princess and hoped she can spare you.”
Xiao Bing smiled. The chief executive was very competent, but unfortunately, he had such an unreasonable master.
Eguchi Nakayama continued, “The chief executive manages the entire manor. In Sakura Manor, apart from the Princess, he has the most authority, and he is also a very good fighter, but that’s not my specialty. Does Mr. Aoki know what my specialty is?”
Xiao Bing said, “I don’t know.”
“From what I know, the manor belongs to the princess, so we just need to follow her lead. Whatever she says is right. In the entire country, no matter how powerful you are, you can’t go against the royal family, because even though the royal family has lost its power and influence, there are still too many masters working for them. If they want someone to die, it is very easy. I am not trying to hint at anything, but I hope that Mr. Aoki will be careful in the future and try not to provoke Her Royal Highness. Since you have to work here, no matter what you were before, she will be your master from now on.”
Xiao Bing smiled and said, “Is this a warning?”
“Yes.”
“Okay, I will bear that in mind.” Xiao Bing asked, “How far away are we?”
“We are almost there.” Eguchi Nakayama suddenly showed a rather mysterious smile. There was an iron gate in front of him. Eguchi Nakayama walked over and pushed the door open. Xiao Bing followed him and saw a huge courtyard that could hold hundreds of people. It was surrounded by tall walls on all sides, and the heavy iron gate was the only exit. In addition, there was a tall building beyond the fence and two soldiers were guarding it.
Eguchi Nakayama said, “The Princess asked Mr. Aoki to wait a moment here, and she will be here right away.”
After that, Eguchi Nakayama stepped back quietly and left. Xiao Bing heard the sounds of the iron gate closing, and he also heard of the sounds of chains. Xiao Bing turned around and saw that the iron gate had been locked from the outside.
Xiao Bing sneered. It became a little interesting.
