Chapter 2387 - 2077: In a Few Days, We Will Attack the Zhen Nan Prince Manor
Upon hearing Lu Chen’s words, Ji Yunmeng fell silent.
Now she is completely bound with the Prince’s Mansion, whether she can sit on that position or not still depends on whether the Prince’s Mansion is willing.
Since Lu Chen is not in a hurry, she can only continue to wait. She intends to see what the Prince’s Mansion plans to do.
At this moment, Lu Chen put his hand on her belt and then gently tugged.
As the belt fell to the ground, Lu Chen also turned her body around and directly claimed her lips.
Realizing what Lu Chen intended, Ji Yunmeng’s jade hands proactively wrapped around Lu Chen’s muscular waist, subsequently helping him undress.
Knowing that the Prince’s Mansion has a Heavenly Realm Strong Person, she should bind herself more closely with the Prince’s Mansion.
And to deeply bind with the Prince’s Mansion, she needs to have a child with Lu Chen.
Bai Qingqing’s child has already been born, but it’s just a girl.
Now it seems that no other women in the Prince’s Mansion are pregnant with Lu Chen’s child, she must give birth to a son for Lu Chen before any other woman does, so she can secure her status as the primary wife.
A moment later, their clothing disappeared, and soon they were on the bed kissing.
...
At noon, Guangling City’s gates were wide open, with people coming and going in endless streams.
A man dressed in coarse clothing entered the city along with the common folks.
The streets inside the city were bustling with people, and vehicles and horses continued to pass by.
Stalls lined the streets, with the constant sound of haggling filling the air.
Wu Hong lowered his head and approached a booth as if pretending to buy something, but his gaze was fixed on the end of the street, seemingly searching for something.
At that moment, he noticed a pair of disciples from Tianxuan Palace strolling on the street.
Seeing this scene, Wu Hong was momentarily stunned and wanted to approach them and recognize them, but quickly remembered the task the Elder had assigned him.
He was only here to investigate the situation in Guangling City and could not easily reveal his identity.
Although he recognized those disciples from Tianxuan Palace, it’s impossible to say whether they have already betrayed Tianxuan Palace, which could very well be bait thrown by the Prince’s Mansion.
Wu Hong planned to observe a bit more and approach those Tianxuan Palace disciples in a few days.
Night fell, casting red moonlight on the earth.
The courtyard where Ji Yan resided.
Ji Yan was already in bed, but couldn’t sleep at the thought that the Huangquan Sect Master would be visiting tomorrow.
Just then, a guard’s voice came from the door: "Your Highness, the esteemed guest has arrived."
Upon hearing this, Ji Yan was momentarily stunned, then quickly sat up from the bed, throwing on just a simple outer garment before leaving the room.
In the courtyard stood a man in a black cloak and a tusked ghost mask, looking at the red moon in the sky.
Beside him were several black-robed figures exuding the aura of Earth Realm.
At this moment, the masked man turned his head towards Ji Yan and said, "I am the Huangquan Sect Master. I’ve heard Your Highness has been quite anxious lately, so I’ve come to relieve your worries."
Upon hearing this, Ji Yan replied, "Anxious? Not really, I have great trust in your Huangquan Sect."
Continuing, Ji Yan asked, "Since you are personally here, when do you plan to take action?"
Huangquan Sect Master said, "We will attack the Prince’s Mansion in a few days."
Upon hearing the Huangquan Sect Master’s answer, Ji Yan thought to himself: This time, they should not continue to drag things out.
Ji Yan glanced up at other Huangquan Sect Earth Realm Strong Persons, then continued to ask: "May I ask, Huangquan Sect Master, how many Earth Realm Strong Persons does your Huangquan Sect have?"
Upon hearing this question, the Huangquan Sect Master calmly replied, "Ten."
Ji Yan was slightly stunned; he hadn’t expected such a hidden sect power like Huangquan Sect to have so many Earth Realm Strong Persons.
If they are so formidable, why would they choose to remain hidden?
Generally, a force chooses to remain hidden because it has an invincible enemy, prompting them to stay hidden temporarily.
A force like Huangquan Sect, with ten Earth Realm Strong Persons, is a force that nobody would dare to offend; not even the Great Zhou Royal Family would dare provoke them lightly.
Just as Ji Yan wanted to ask more about Huangquan Sect, the Huangquan Sect Master spoke up: "Your Highness, it’s late, you should rest well tonight. When everything is prepared, we will send someone to notify you."
After speaking, the Huangquan Sect Master left the courtyard with several Earth Realm Strong Persons, disappearing into the night.
Looking at the empty courtyard, Ji Yan’s expression turned gloomy; he did not sense any respect from the Huangquan Sect Master.
Despite Huangquan Sect’s strength, possessing ten Earth Realm Strong Persons, they are merely a civilian power, yet the Huangquan Sect Master dared to speak to him in such a manner, even using the term "notify."
Moreover, here today and gone tomorrow; he was completely disregarding Ji Yan’s status as a prince.
Ji Yan had an inkling that even if Huangquan Sect supported him to become Emperor, it seemed unlikely he would have control over imperial matters, and he might end up being completely overshadowed by Huangquan Sect.
Considering this possibility, Ji Yan’s fists clenched slightly.
However, even knowing this, Ji Yan would still continue collaborating with Huangquan Sect, as the only way he can ascend to that position is by depending on Huangquan Sect.
...
A few days passed in the blink of an eye.
Wu Hong found a guesthouse near the Prince’s Mansion to stay, and every day he mingled in various pleasure venues, gathering information about the Prince’s Mansion.
During this time, not only did he see the disciples from Tianxuan Palace, but he also saw their Saintess on the street, yet he did not approach them to identify himself.
At this point, Wu Hong had relaxed his vigilance, the way he saw it now that their Saintess was strolling freely down the street, indicating the Prince’s Mansion hadn’t imprisoned their Saintess, their Elder might have misunderstood the Prince’s Mansion, perhaps things aren’t as dire as they imagined.
After careful consideration, Wu Hong decided he would find the Tianxuan Palace disciples to understand more about the situation.
Though it seemed risky, they couldn’t continue to drag things out.
By noon, the tavern was bustling with people.
At that moment, several Tianxuan Palace disciples entered a private room on the second floor of the tavern. Once inside, a waiter approached them and said, "Distinguished guests, a customer claims to be an acquaintance of yours and would like to chat with you for a moment, if you’re agreeable."
Upon hearing this, the Tianxuan Palace disciples felt confused.
An acquaintance should presumably be a disciple of Tianxuan Palace, one would expect a Tianxuan Palace disciple seeking them would approach them directly, why send someone to pass a message?
One of the Tianxuan Palace disciples said, "Alright, please invite the friend in."
Hearing the Tianxuan Palace disciple’s words, the waiter turned and left.
Soon, a man wearing a conical hat entered the private room.
Seeing this man, everyone felt puzzled; who is this person? Why meet them with his face so tightly covered?
At this moment, Wu Hong removed the conical hat.
Upon seeing Wu Hong’s face, the Tianxuan Palace disciples immediately stood up and respectfully greeted Wu Hong, saying, "Greetings, Brother Wu."
Wu Hong waved his hand, "You all may sit."
A female disciple curiously asked, "Brother Wu, why have you come to Guangling City as well?"
