Chapter 237: Seeing Zhongli Lingyu Again

Just as Lingyun Saint Emperor was furious and already prepared to declare war on the Tianyu Dynasty, he received news that the He Yu Saint Emperor had personally gone to the Tianyu Dynasty to propose marriage.

Well, this was great; the Lingyun Dynasty was now being attacked from both the front and the back.

The He Yu Dynasty had originally coveted the Lingyun Dynasty's status as the number one dynasty in Dongming, and now that they had joined forces with the Tianyu Dynasty, wasn't their goal perfectly clear?

Before Ling Tianyi could figure out what was actually going on, a bigwig from Ice Soul Valley suddenly arrived and sent him a voice transmission: the He Yu Dynasty and the Tianyu Dynasty would not be forming a marriage alliance.

However, the Lingyun Dynasty was not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the Lingerie-Sect anymore, and he could not touch Tian Zeyan either.

Why was Ice Soul Valley involved in this?

But since Ice Soul Valley had already spoken, Lingyun Saint Emperor did not dare to make a move; after all, going against Ice Soul Valley was no joke.

Ling Tianyi could only swallow his burning rage; it was just a pity for his imperial study, looking at the ruins, it would probably need to be rebuilt.

————

Jiang Xun had already arrived at his residence, which had a magnificent gate; walking through the gate was a super-large courtyard, with a martial arts arena in the center and weapon racks placed on both sides.

Three large houses were connected to a circular archway; passing through the archway was a backyard, which had a pond, flowers and plants, a pavilion, a study, and a bath.

Everything that should be there was there, and in terms of size, it was even better than He Luyun's residence on Tianwai Island.

A house like this certainly wasn't for that sickly Tian Zeyan to live in; it seemed Tianyu Saint Emperor had rearranged the residence for Jiang Xun.

Walking into the reception hall, Jiang Yan and Gufang Ninglin were both sitting there waiting for Jiang Xun.

It was just that the two did not know each other, and the atmosphere was very awkward now.

Seeing Jiang Xun enter, Gufang Ninglin hurriedly walked up to Jiang Xun: "Where is Master?"

"The marriage alliance was called off, Master has returned to the He Yu Dynasty," Jiang Xun said.

"I see..." Gufang Ninglin nodded upon hearing this, not knowing whether she was happy or what.

"This is something Tianyu Saint Emperor left for you," Jiang Yan said, pointing to a box on the small table next to the main seat.

Jiang Xun heard this, walked over, and opened the small box; inside was a glass bottle, and inside the bottle was a red, viscous liquid that looked like blood.

Beside it were also a Token and a Golden Message Jade Tube.

Jiang Xun reached out and touched the Golden Message Jade Tube, and the voice of Tianyu Saint Emperor echoed in Jiang Xun's mind.

"This is my source blood; after absorbing it, you can possess the Tianyu imperial bloodline in your body, you can use the Golden Communication Jade Tube, and the other Token allows you to enter and exit the Imperial Palace freely."

Tianyu Saint Emperor must have placed this here before learning of Jiang Xun's fake identity.

Jiang Xun checked the source blood, and after confirming there were no problems, he drank it directly.

Slowly absorb it with Spirit Power?

That didn't exist; could Tianyu Saint Emperor possibly be stronger than the Fire God and the Ice God?

After swallowing the source blood, Jiang Xun felt slightly uncomfortable, but it quickly stabilized.

Afterward, Jiang Xun took the Golden Communication Jade Tube and the Token and looked at Gufang Ninglin: "The matters of the Tianyu Dynasty should be handled now, shall we set off for the Gufang Dynasty?"

"Going so soon?" Gufang Ninglin was stunned upon hearing this; hadn't they just arrived not long ago? Why leave again? Was he in such a hurry?

"Take a rest, there's no need to finish everything in one day," Jiang Yan also looked at Jiang Xun and said.

"It's not that I want to..." Jiang Xun wanted to say he wanted to return to the Lingerie-Sect sooner, but Gufang Ninglin was still present, so Jiang Xun held back and found another excuse: "The Emperor will soon announce that I am not the successor; I should take advantage of this identity while I still can to do some things, so let's go quickly."

"Let's go, let's go," Jiang Xun said, pulling Jiang Yan up from her chair, then dragging Jiang Yan and Gufang Ninglin as they walked out.

Jiang Yan also helplessly followed Jiang Xun, jogging all the way to the carriage.

"Your Highness." The soldiers in front of the carriage immediately bowed their heads with cupped hands.

"Go to the Teleportation Array," Jiang Xun said while helping the two women into the carriage.

"Yes." The soldier nodded, and after Jiang Xun sat steady, he drove the carriage toward the Teleportation Array.

"The Gufang Dynasty is in a mess right now; you must be careful after you go," Gufang Ninglin looked at Jiang Xun and said worriedly.

"Careful? Why?" Jiang Xun asked.

"... The commoners of the Gufang Dynasty can barely eat now; you are dressed in luxury and have an extraordinary temperament; if you appear there, they might rob you."

Gufang Ninglin said helplessly.

"I am a cultivator... do they dare to rob me?" Jiang Xun raised an eyebrow and said.

"When people are starving, what wouldn't they do?" Jiang Yan looked at Jiang Xun and said.

"That's right," Gufang Ninglin nodded: "And Junior Brother, you are so kind, you certainly wouldn't attack them, right?"

"I... that's right," Jiang Xun nodded, though he wanted to say: Rob me? Watch me beat them to death.

"Zhongli."

The voice of Sikong Yuhuan suddenly came into Jiang Xun's mind.

Only then did Jiang Xun remember that he still had to go to Wangyue Pavilion to ask about the secrets of the Gufang Dynasty, and by the way, tell that woman Zhongli Lingyu not to sell his information everywhere anymore! It was too infuriating!

"Change course to Wangyue Pavilion," Jiang Xun poked his head out and shouted.

"Yes." The soldier nodded in agreement and turned the carriage around.

The carriage soon stopped at the entrance of Wangyue Pavilion.

Seeing this imperial carriage, the commoners in front of Wangyue Pavilion hurriedly dispersed and stood not far away to watch.

After the three of them got off the carriage, Jiang Xun told the soldier to go back directly, then walked into Wangyue Pavilion amidst the discussions of the commoners and asked for two private rooms on the top floor.

"You two wait for me here for a moment; if you want to eat anything, just order it," Jiang Xun said as he arranged for the two women to be in the adjacent private room.

Both of them nodded; as for ordering food, Gufang Ninglin didn't have the mood, as her mind was full of the affairs of the Gufang Dynasty.

Jiang Yan, however, picked up the menu and started ordering directly, showing no mercy to Jiang Xun at all.

Jiang Xun then went to the adjacent private room.

"Call your manager here," Jiang Xun said after sitting down.

"Right away." If it were an ordinary person, it would naturally be impossible to see the manager just because they wanted to, but this Prince in front of him was different.

Not long after the waiter left, the door to the private room was gently knocked.

"Your Highness, Lingyu is here." Zhongli Lingyu's voice rang out at the doorway, still as soul-stirring and captivating as ever.

"Come in," Jiang Xun nodded and said.

Zhongli Lingyu then opened the door, entered, and looked at Jiang Xun with a smirk, then closed the door and came to sit beside Jiang Xun: "It has been a long time, Young Master Jiang."

"Big sister, I gave you so much money, don't go around selling my identity," Jiang Xun said, looking at Zhongli Lingyu upon hearing this.

"How could I do that? As long as it is information that can be sold, I naturally never turn it away," Zhongli Lingyu said with a soft laugh, covering her mouth with her Folding Fan.

"Because of you, I almost died out there; if it weren't for the fact that I couldn't beat you, I would deal with you right now," Jiang Xun said, curling his lip.

"How could you bear to hit me, Young Master? You are, after all, the Hehuan Young Master who cherishes the fair and pities the jade," Zhongli Lingyu laughed.
