Chapter 487: Qi Ruohua's Thoughts

Nothing at all, kid.

Are you sure we didn't come to the wrong place?

Heishanyang would rather they had come to the wrong place than believe this place is the Qi Family's treasury.

The Qi Family treasury is completely empty—too unbelievable, as if it were deliberately designed to stop them from entering and taking those treasures.

No wonder so many powers have their eyes on the Qi Family treasury, yet no one comes to look for it—there really is nothing there.

Even if you can't find it, even if you get in, what then? Nothing's there—you made the trip for nothing and just waste time.

Chen Chuyang was somewhat taken aback; confident as he was, he believed he could find it, but he never imagined the treasures here would vanish—where could they have gone?

He wandered around the entire treasury, feeling here and there, looking.

He always felt this place hid a secret, a secret he didn't know; if he could find it, he could surely……

"The Qi Family treasury is right here; it couldn't be wrong—I couldn't have come to the wrong place."

"As for who hid the treasures here, I don't know, but I have a feeling they're still here—we just can't find them for now."

Chen Chuyang wouldn't give up; sometimes, even the eyes can deceive.

Spiritual sense is the same—he poked and probed here and there, believing this place definitely hid a secret; once he found it, he would naturally locate the treasury.

Heishanyang, upon hearing that, followed along to search.

Zhuge Ruolan did the same.

Inside the Wanggong.

Eldest Princess Qi Ruohua sat on the throne, with Fifth Prince Qi Mingyu below her.

"Your Majesty, that person still keeps the treasury in mind; after all these days, he hasn't left Wangdu."

"Aren't you worried he'll find your treasury and take all your treasures?"

The Fifth Prince's words aren't alarmist; they're based on solid evidence.

He personally entered the Wanggong for this very matter.

After all, he too is a member of the Qi Family, and the Qi Family treasury includes his share.

What belongs to the Qi Family cannot be given to others.

"Fifth Brother, do you think he can find it?"

Qi Ruohua gave a faint smile, utterly unconcerned.

The Qi Family treasury isn't something just anyone can find, nor can just anyone enter.

Even if Chen Chuyang were even more formidable and managed to get inside, he still wouldn't be able to locate the treasures.

The Qi Family treasury was left by their ancient ancestor; for thousands of years, no one has been able to find the treasures—just imagine how difficult it must be.

Chen Chuyang is indeed formidable, and Qi Ruohua acknowledges that, but she doesn't think he can find those treasures, let alone take them all; the three treasures she promised him are enough—any more is unlikely.

Qi Ruohua knows some things, yet she neither stopped him nor exposed the truth.

The Fifth Prince isn't an idiot; he understands at once.

"Your Majesty, don't underestimate Chen Chuyang—this person is very formidable."

"He excels at formations, and the Imperial Younger Brother worries you'll miscalculate."

The Fifth Prince has never underestimated anyone.

Someone like Chen Chuyang, a true Strong One, must not be underestimated.

The Imperial Elder Sister's demeanor is extremely confident, which is not good.

He needs to remind him that the Qi Family now has few members left.

To be precise, it's just their branch—only a few people; the matter has already been decided, his fate controlled by Qi Ruohua, so naturally he must think from her side to gain her approval and free himself from her control.

Freedom is what he wants; now is the time to show his loyalty.

"You think too highly of Chen Chuyang."

Qi Ruohua rose, hands behind her back, gazing into the distance.

Soon after, she laughed and said, "Besides, what's the harm in giving him some of those treasures?"

The Fifth Prince, hearing that, froze.

Looking at this sister, the ambitious Imperial Elder Sister, she actually… had such a thought.

"Your Majesty, you… wouldn't?"

The Fifth Prince imagined a terrifying possibility: the Imperial Elder Sister must not have taken a liking to that man.

Chen Chuyang is very formidable, excellent in all respects—he's a fine match.

In the whole world, if anyone could be worthy of the Imperial Elder Sister, it's probably only him.

But Chen Chuyang already has a wife.

He's not single; if the Imperial Elder Sister were to take a liking to him, wouldn't that be…?

"Imperial Elder Sister, he already has a wife."

Qi Ruohua lowered her head.

"Does it matter?"

"I have taken a liking to him—that's his honor; as for Shang Hongxue, what does it matter?"

"I want him as a person, not to keep him in the Wanggong."

The Fifth Prince, upon hearing that, opened his mouth wide.

Staring at his own Imperial Elder Sister, he didn't know what to say for a moment.

This Imperial Elder Sister has truly been moved; before, among so many talents, none had stirred her heart.

Chen Chuyang, that man, is indeed outstanding.

The Fifth Prince acknowledges this.

He had seen Chen Chuyang several times, and each time he thought this person was quite ordinary, no different from an ordinary person; if you placed him on the street, you wouldn't pay much attention, yet such a person was remarkably capable.

In short, in the Fifth Prince's heart, no one could compare to Chen Chuyang.

Even those old monsters he knew of seemed weak in front of Chen Chuyang.

「Whoosh—」

「Elder Princess, do you think he can take away some treasures? 」

The Fifth Prince asked cautiously; at this moment, his thoughts had changed.

If the Elder Princess took a liking to Chen Chuyang, perhaps they could be matched.

That way, they would be bound together; in the future, it would benefit both of them.

Chen Chuyang's talent mainly lies in his pill-refining ability, which could let the Great Qi Dynasty quickly increase its strength, and also let their strength advance further, catch up, and even surpass their ancestors, which is not impossible.

In the future, stepping out of this world is also not impossible.

Within their imperial family, there are indeed records about the outside world, and Qi Mingyu's thoughts are active.

「I don't know. 」

The Eldest Princess shook her head, unclear.

Whether it's possible, looking at Chen Chuyang, she wouldn't stop him; if Chen Chuyang could find it, it would be considered a small gift she gives to Chen Chuyang.

This great gift, if it enhances Chen Chuyang's strength, is not without benefit to her.

The stronger Chen Chuyang becomes, the less those people dare to act recklessly, and her position becomes more stable.

Especially those sects, they are not easy to deal with.

The reason they have no movement now is none other than because they are wary of Chen Chuyang.

Heavenly Heart Sect, Spirit Sword Sect, Yin Gui Sect, and the Monster Race, along with other families and those people, have long been eager to act; the reason they dare not act recklessly is none other than because that person is in the capital, right?

As long as Chen Chuyang lives, he can continually suppress those people.

The longer Qi Ruohua has time, she can slowly deal with those people.

「Fifth Brother, your strength should also be increased. 」

Casually, he threw over a bottle of medicine.

The Fifth Prince looked at that bottle of medicine with a complex expression, raised his head, and stared at the Elder Princess.

「The Elder Princess needs you. 」

「Fifth Brother. 」

This address of Fifth Brother shows that Qi Ruohua has him in her heart.

Qi Mingyu remained silent, clasped his hands, and performed a salute.
