Chapter 203: Yu Mingyue's Opportunity

~6 min read 1,164 words

Zhou Tian went to the Haotian Secret Realm; now his residence has become the territory of the Haotian Sect disciples.

Yu Mingyue received news that Yang Jun and Yun Xiyue entered the palace to attend the banquet.

Moreover, Yun Xiyue is the main guest of this banquet, meaning the two won't be back for a while.

Yu Mingyue was very excited, for this was a great opportunity for her.

Yang Jun, accompanied by Yun Xiyue to the banquet, will certainly bring strong experts, especially the four who previously protected Yun Xiyue.

So now in the Prince's Mansion, there is neither Yang Ye, the Prince Pingxi, nor those four strong experts.

Those who can guard his adoptive parents are only the few maids he previously met and the mansion's soldiers; the rest should be just his few utterly useless disciples.

Thus, the entire mansion cannot possibly stop him.

Now is exactly the chance for him to safely retrieve his adoptive parents.

Yu Mingyue made a decision, taking his two disciples and setting out.

However, what Yu Mingyue didn't expect was that just as he was about to enter the mansion, a black-robed person appeared.

"Halt! Who dares to trespass the Prince's Mansion?"

The black-robed person blocked Yu Mingyue, which surprised her greatly.

This person is actually a Seventh Rank Proper Dao cultivator; Yu Mingyue wondered where such a person came from.

But she merely thought a bit and quickly made a decision.

No matter where he's from, don't think too much—just kill him first.

With that thought, Yu Mingyue's figure flickered; in an instant, powerful energy surged, ready to suppress this interceptor.

However, before Yu Mingyue could launch an attack, nine black-robed people appeared from all directions, surrounding Yu Mingyue, Yu Linglong, and Xiao Rufeng.

"Just you lot, dare to block this seat?"

Yu Mingyue snorted coldly, wearing a displeased face.

The current situation, for Yu Mingyue, is also no big deal.

But she also clearly sees the situation.

These ten people, she can disregard.

However, the positioning of these ten is very particular; Yu Mingyue noticed they seem to be employing some formation.

Perhaps she cannot completely take them down in a short while.

Moreover, the biggest trouble is, if she cannot settle them quickly, it will surely alarm the people in the Prince's Mansion; then her adoptive parents will definitely be hidden by them.

If that truly happens, her effort will come to nothing.

She never imagined that Prince Pingxi would leave the mansion, yet Yang Jun actually brought so many strong experts.

Now the Prince's Mansion, inside and out, is it surrounded by strong experts?

Thinking this, she hesitated a bit.

"Please leave here."

Long Ten snorted coldly and spoke up to question.

The woman before him gave him a sense of great danger, but he also understood his duty.

What is needed is to resist strongly and block these people.

"Even if they are grandmasters?"

"This is an important place in the capital."

As long as the opponent cannot kill him for a moment, then he can afterwards accomplish even more.

Precisely for that reason, Long Ten persists all the more.

"Go!"

Yu Mingyue darkened her face, turned and left.

"Master..."

"Wait until we open this place, we wait."

Xiao Rufeng asked, and Yu Mingyue replied in a low voice.

"Nowadays the Prince's Mansion inside and out is heavily guarded, but Yang Jun is attending the banquet; how many people can he bring?"

"We will wait for his return, then act."

Yu Mingyue spoke coldly, and while speaking she unconsciously nodded.

Such things, for her, must also be done.

……

In the Imperial Palace, Yun Mingyang's head bumped into Yun Xiyue's belly.

The sudden change left everyone stunned.

"Xiyue!"

"Xiyue, how are you?"

"Xiyue?"

"Again, Yun Mingyang, what mistake did you make this time?"

Members of the Yun imperial clan kept approaching, all utterly shocked.

Yang Jun coldly regarded Yun Mingyang, then lightly shoved him away.

At this moment Yun Mingyang realized what had just happened.

Thinking of everything that had happened before, he now looked utterly at a loss.

"Auntie, it's not Yang'er, really."

Yun Mingyang cried, also hurriedly explaining.

Yang Jun, at the critical moment just now, reached out with his right hand and blocked Yun Mingyang.

Actually, from the very beginning, he had been paying attention, guarding against anything that might happen.

"Auntie is fine."

Yun Xiyue comforted Yun Mingyang; with Yang Jun protecting her, she was naturally unharmed, and moreover she herself was at the third rank, nearing the fourth rank, making it easy for her to deal with these changes.

It was only because Yang Jun had earlier instructed her not to reveal her strength in front of others.

"Yun Mingyang, you usually just mess around, but today you almost caused a great disaster!"

The members of the Yun clan all spoke up, shouting in condemnation.

Everyone also knew what had happened here—Yun Mingyang had almost bumped into Yun Xiyue, which was a huge matter.

Yun Fengyun's face was filled with anger as he quickly walked over.

He first glanced at Yun Xiyue, then turned his stare to Yun Mingyang, who was loudly crying.

"Father Emperor, Yang'er didn't do it on purpose; this has nothing to do with him."

Yun Xiyue explained, saying she knew that Yun Mingyang's rush forward seemed not to be his own initiative but rather that he had been pushed by someone.

Yang Jun didn't explain; he could clearly see that someone was using Yun Mingyang's hand to try to harm Yun Xiyue.

Yang Jun now hopes that Yun Fengyun will punish Yun Mingyang, thereby using the occasion to warn others.

"Yang'er!"

Crown Prince Yun Xuanming also rushed over, looking at Yun Fengyun and hurriedly explaining on behalf of Yun Mingyang.

"Father Emperor, this matter, Yang'er..."

"Dad, it really wasn't Yang'er."

Yun Mingyang cried, throwing himself into Yun Xuanming's embrace.

Yun Fengyun gave Yun Xuanming a cold glance.

"You are the Crown Prince—how have you been educating Yang'er?"

"Father Emperor, your subject has failed in educating his son; please punish him."

Yun Xuanming quickly knelt and pleaded aloud.

"Father Emperor, the Crown Prince older brother also..."

"The Crown Prince is confined to the residence for two months, effective immediately."

Yun Xiyue wanted to speak, but Yun Fengyun directly cut her off.

Upon hearing this, everyone looked shocked.

Everyone could see that this incident was indeed an accident.

But now, because of this accident, he is actually being confined for two months.

Yun Xuanming is the Crown Prince; this two-month confinement would prevent him from participating in state affairs, and if other ambitious princes took the opportunity to seize power, what would the outcome be?

The officials and clan members had complex expressions—some worried, some pleased.

"Your subject will obey the edict."

"Xiyue, it's the older brother who's sorry to you."

Yun Xuanming agreed, and then bowed respectfully to Yun Xiyue.

For him, this matter was also something he must take responsibility for.
