Chapter 666: An Honored Guest Arrives

As Li Luo's strength had now risen to the Evil Palace realm, his treatment of the little king had become increasingly easy. In just half an hour, the treatment was complete, and another petal on the pitch-black lotus mark on the little king's back had once again turned a pure white.

At this point, nearly half of the ink-black lotus on the little king's back had been dispelled.

After this treatment, the little king seemed somewhat weary. After saying a word to Li Luo, he fell into a deep sleep under the attendance of palace maids nearby.

Li Luo then left the inner hall and found the Eldest Princess and Jiang Qing, who were chatting outside.

Seeing Li Luo walk out, the Eldest Princess said with a smile: "Li Luo, congratulations, from now on you are the rightful and proper House Master of House Luolan Mansion."

"I must thank Your Highness for the assistance. House Luolan Mansion will engrave this kindness in our hearts," Li Luo said with a smile.

The Eldest Princess's bright eyes glanced about, her gaze flowing: "In the future, the favor of House Luolan Mansion will be very valuable. It seems my investment has been a great success."

This was not wrong. If those two old House Masters of House Luolan Mansion could return safely, then House Luolan Mansion would surely leap to become a super power of Great Xia, towering above the other four mansions. By then, even Wang Ting would have to give it sufficient attention.

Li Luo smiled and said: "Did Your Highness guess long ago that the one coveting House Luolan Mansion behind the scenes was the Regent?"

The Eldest Princess said: "I had some clues, after all I have my own intelligence sources, but I couldn't be entirely certain. Now it seems my royal uncle must have been coveting that 'Divine Essence Substance' of your House Luolan Mansion. I wonder what exactly he wants to do with it. Although he has now broken through to Dao Le Wu Pin, he should still be a very long way from the King level."

As she spoke, she gave a self-mocking smile and said: "Actually, if he could truly reach the King level, everything would be simpler instead. I would voluntarily have my brother step down and hand Great Xia over entirely to him to manage."

The Eldest Princess's gaze turned to Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge and said: "Your House Luolan Mansion has safely weathered this tribulation, but in two days I too must face another tribulation. I wonder if I will have such good fortune as you."

"Is Your Highness referring to the coronation ceremony? Do you suspect the Regent will cause trouble on that day?" Li Luo asked.

The Eldest Princess said calmly: "My royal uncle's ambition is extremely heavy. He has held Great Xia's power for so many years, I don't think he would lightly hand all of this over. So I suspect he should have some moves."

Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge exchanged a glance. Now that House Luolan Mansion was already at odds with the Regent, calling them mortal enemies would not be an exaggeration, so of course they were unwilling to see the Regent emerge victorious at the coronation ceremony. If that happened, the future situation for House Luolan Mansion would also become somewhat difficult, because they would need to guard against the Regent's schemes at all times.

"On Your Highness's side, what are the odds? Are there many supporters within Wang Ting?" Jiang Jiang Qinge asked.

"After all, the king has the rightful lineage on his side. Many old ministers of Great Xia support him. When this force gathers together, even my royal uncle would not dare underestimate it. Actually, overall, we do have some confidence," the Eldest Princess said after a slight pause.

"Our House Luolan Mansion will also support Your Highness, but House Luolan Mansion only has a few of us stragglers right now, so we may not be able to help Your Highness too much." Li Luo clearly and unambiguously expressed House Luolan Mansion's stance, after all the Regent's actions had already pushed them to the opposing side.

"That is a bit of a pity. If House Luolan Mansion's two old House Masters had already returned at this time, I think my royal uncle would not dare harbor any other thoughts," the Eldest Princess said with a laugh behind her hand.

Jiang Jiang Qinge's gaze shifted slightly and she said: "I remember Dean Pang of the academy once declared his support for the old king back then, and his assessment of the Regent was that his ambition was excessive. I think if Dean Pang could appear, it should be enough to suppress everything."

Li Luo also fell into thought. Dean Pang had been tied up by the sudden change in the depths of the Dark Cave and unable to break free, but this time they had brought back the Dragon Bone Holy Grail, and the dean had even taken some of his essence blood containing the lineage of Li Li Tianwang. Although Li Luo did not know exactly what this dean my lord intended to do, there must be a plan belonging to the dean.

"Dean Pang's appearance is uncertain, because the Dark Cave is too important. Before the crisis in the depths of the Dark Cave is truly resolved, any changes in the outside world cannot draw him out, even the coronation ceremony," the Eldest Princess said with a soft sigh.

"The Dragon Bone Holy Grail should have already been delivered into the dean's hands. I think the Dark Cave's problem should be resolved," Jiang Jiang Qinge said comfortingly.

"That would of course be best." The Eldest Princess nodded. If Dean Pang could truly appear at the coronation ceremony, that would of course be the best news for her. With Dean Pang's support, the little king would smoothly ascend to the throne and take hold of Great Xia's authority and that Guardian Nation Strange Formation.

The latter was the most important. As long as the Guardian Nation Strange Formation was in hand, the Regent would not be worth worrying about.

"For the coronation ceremony in two days, I will send you invitation cards. Don't be absent then," the Eldest Princess said with a smile to Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge.

Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge both nodded. The influence of this coronation ceremony was far stronger and more far-reaching than their House Luolan Mansion's House Sacrifice. The result of the coronation ceremony would truly decide the future situation of Great Xia, and House Luolan Mansion, being within it, naturally could not avoid it. Even forces like the academy and the Golden Dragon Vault, which had always been neutral, would come to watch.

Then the two took their leave of the Eldest Princess, left the royal palace, and headed straight back to House Luolan Mansion headquarters.

"There have really been an endless stream of major events lately, it's a bit overwhelming. I have some inexplicable premonition about this coronation ceremony, I feel the entire Great Xia will undergo drastic changes because of it," Li Luo said on the carriage, rubbing his brow, to Jiang Jiang Qinge.

Jiang Jiang Qinge was briefly silent. That Regent was indeed very domineering; everyone in Great Xia over these years could feel it clearly. Now that the coronation ceremony was approaching, if this Regent wanted to resist, it would inevitably cause an extremely terrifying rift.

The entire Great Xia would be thrown into turmoil for it.

Jiang Jiang Qinge extended her cool, delicate palm and held one of Li Luo's hands, saying: "No matter what happens, even if House Luolan Mansion or even Great Xia is gone, I don't care. As long as you, and Master and Mistress are fine, that is the best outcome for me."

Hearing this, a warm current rose in Li Luo's heart. He interlocked his fingers tightly, gripping Jiang Jiang Qinge's jade hand, and was about to say something when the carriage came to a stop. At this moment, the carriage curtain was lifted by the wind, and Li Luo saw a slender figure standing outside House Luolan Mansion headquarters.

Seeing that figure, Li Luo's heart jolted. He hurriedly flipped off the carriage and said excitedly: "Instructor Mentor Xi Chan?!"

It turned out that the slender figure standing at the entrance of House Luolan Mansion, who had not entered, was none other than Mentor Xi Chan!

At this moment, Mentor Xi Chan, hearing Li Luo's voice, turned her head to look at him. The breeze stirred the thin veil covering her face, and the corners of her eyes curved slightly, as if she had smiled.

"Li Luo, I have nowhere to go for now. Is your House Luolan Mansion still taking people in?"
