Chapter 2377 - 2067: Miss Mu, I Didn’t Disturb You, Did I?
Feng Lin saw Mu Yunxi did not speak, so she continued, "Saintess, could it be that Zhen Nan Prince Manor intentionally released false news?"
Mu Yunxi returned to her senses, her gaze directed at the lotus flowers in the pond of the courtyard, then she said, "Zhen Nan Prince Manor has no reason to do so."
If they weren’t able to seal those Deceit Kings, yet intentionally spread news of sealing them, how would they explain it if those Deceit Kings caused trouble again?
Moreover, for Zhen Nan Prince Manor, those Deceit Kings are bargaining chips against the Great Zhou Royal Family.
Mu Yunxi stood up, walked to the window, placed her jade hand on the window frame, then continued, "Perhaps Zhen Nan Prince Manor really did seal those Deceit Kings, but they are concealing it to continue bargaining benefits from the Great Zhou Royal Family."
Feng Lin said, "But does Zhen Nan Prince Manor and Deceit Suppression Bureau really have such capability?"
"Although together, the number of Earth Realm Strong Persons is indeed many, once those Deceit Kings sense danger, they will undoubtedly flee immediately."
"And with those Evil Spirits and Mysterious beings as their cover, it shouldn’t be easy for Zhen Nan Prince Manor and Deceit Suppression Bureau to seal those Deceit Kings."
Mu Yunxi said, "That’s a question for Zhen Nan Prince Manor and Deceit Suppression Bureau."
"They must have used some means."
"As for the so-called strong person who can instantly control several Deceit Kings, they’re probably just a Late-stage Earth Realm Strong Person, merely possessing a magic treasure that can suppress the mysterious, thus able to control those Deceit Kings instantly."
Feng Lin thought for a moment, then agreed with Mu Yunxi’s view, and said, "In this way, the task the Palace Master assigned to us is completed, isn’t it?"
"Saintess, shall we return to Tianxuan Palace to report?"
Mu Yunxi didn’t immediately respond to Feng Lin’s words, she fell into contemplation.
Her interest was piqued about the methods Zhen Nan Prince Manor used to seal those Deceit Kings.
Feng Lin continued, "That Master Lu keeps coming to our courtyard, I always feel he’s up to no good, perhaps he’s eyeing the Shadow Tracing Mirror."
"If we continue staying in Guangling City, Zhen Nan Prince Manor might take action against us."
After all, the Shadow Tracing Mirror is a Heavenly Realm Treasure, not many such treasures exist in Dazhou.
Mu Yunxi considered for a moment, realizing the Shadow Tracing Mirror is indeed crucial to Tianxuan Palace, yet her curiosity over the means used by the Deceit Suppression Bureau to seal those Deceit Kings was strong.
So she said to Feng Lin, "Elder Feng, take the Shadow Tracing Mirror back to Tianxuan Palace, I will stay in Guangling City for a period longer."
Hearing this, Feng Lin was startled, and hurriedly said, "Saintess, you absolutely must not do this."
"If Zhen Nan Prince Manor finds out we took the Shadow Tracing Mirror back to Tianxuan Palace, while you remain in Guangling City, they might target you, using you to threaten Tianxuan Palace."
Hearing Feng Lin’s words, Mu Yunxi calmly asked, "Elder Feng, do you think Prince Zhen Nan really has the audacity to offend a hidden sect?"
Currently, Zhen Nan Prince Manor’s situation is quite poor, with Lu Chen being the only successor; if Lu Chen dies, the entire Zhen Nan Prince Manor will collapse.
In such a circumstance, if they dare offend powers possessing Earth Realm Strong Persons, their demise is near.
Now, Zhen Nan Prince Manor would only seek to improve relations with Tianxuan Palace.
Mu Yunxi speculated that Lu Chen kept coming to her courtyard, seeking to strengthen relations with them.
After hearing Mu Yunxi’s words, Feng Lin pondered for a while, then said, "I understand, tomorrow I will take the Shadow Tracing Mirror back to Tianxuan Palace."
Mu Yunxi reminded, "Before returning to Tianxuan Palace, go to Cloud Cliff City, and use the Shadow Tracing Mirror to see what happened a month ago."
Although they guessed those Deceit Kings were already sealed by Zhen Nan Prince Manor and Deceit Suppression Bureau, since they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, it’s better to verify it.
The next morning, at the break of dawn, Feng Lin left for Cloud Cliff City with the Shadow Tracing Mirror.
Feng Lin barely left when Lu Chen arrived at Mu Yunxi’s courtyard.
At this time, Mu Yunxi was seated on a meditation cushion in the courtyard, with a Deceit Pearl before her, absorbing the spiritual evil within it.
Seeing Lu Chen approaching, a disciple of Tianxuan Palace whispered, "Saintess, Master Lu is here."
Mu Yunxi slowly opened her eyes, watching Lu Chen as he walked toward the pavilion.
Lu Chen arrived at the pavilion, smiling as he asked, "Miss Mu, am I disturbing you?"
Mu Yunxi replied indifferently, "No."
At this point, Mu Yunxi directly got up, went to the stone table, and sat down. The female disciple of Tianxuan Palace tactfully served each of them a cup of tea.
Lu Chen also sat down at the stone table.
Mu Yunxi was the first to speak, asking, "May I know what brings Master Lu to see me today?"
Although she knew that Lu Chen’s visits were mostly about trivial matters, she still had to ask, indicating her desire for him to discuss serious matters instead of trivial chats.
Lu Chen glanced at Mu Yunxi and said with a smile, "I wish to consult Miss Mu regarding cultivation matters."
Mu Yunxi said, "With so many experts in Zhen Nan Prince Manor, if Master Lu has any martial issues, you can completely consult them, there seems to be no need to specifically seek me out?"
Lu Chen said, "Though their realms are high, they’re not good at resolving doubts."
Mu Yunxi absent-mindedly asked, "Then what martial issue does Master Lu have?"
Mu Yunxi also understood Lu Chen was purely here to chat.
However, she decided not to be rude, especially since she was still residing in Zhen Nan Prince Manor, so she wasted some time chatting with him.
At this moment, Lu Chen asked, "Does Tianxuan Palace have a method for Spirit Martial Artists to break through to the Heavenly Realm?"
Hearing this question, Mu Yunxi was momentarily stunned.
She hadn’t expected Lu Chen to ask such a serious question. In previous visits, Lu Chen had mainly asked basic questions like how to manipulate spiritual evil or reduce its bodily erosion.
Regaining her composure, Mu Yunxi calmly replied, "If Tianxuan Palace had a method for breaking through to the Heavenly Realm, we would already have Heavenly Realm Strong Persons."
Hearing Mu Yunxi’s response, Lu Chen thought, realizing that Tianxuan Palace doesn’t have Heavenly Realm Strong Persons, which put his mind at ease.
Speaking of Heavenly Realm Strong Persons, Mu Yunxi was reminded of the news Yu Xia brought back yesterday, and she tentatively asked, "Speaking of Heavenly Realm Strong Persons, I too have a question for you."
"Master Lu, would it be convenient?"
Lu Chen asked in return, "What question? Miss Mu, please ask, I will speak without reserve."
Mu Yunxi then asked, "I heard that those Deceit Kings have been sealed by Zhen Nan Prince Manor and Deceit Suppression Bureau, but Zhen Nan Prince Manor is deliberately hiding the information."
"And supposedly a suspected Heavenly Realm Strong Person has appeared in Zhen Nan Prince Manor, is that true?"
