Chapter 750: Chapter 465 The Curtain Falls in the Capital! (Premium, thank you all for your support!)

Apart from bidding farewell to the two princes and Tao Qingyuan, there was another person he needed to meet with once more.

Although she hadn’t really been of much help to him, her attitude had at least shown that, should he truly seek her help,C Chen Yuan believed she would not refuse.

And this person was none other than Jiang He’s old flame, his sister-in-law whom he had only ever associated with four words in his entire life: Li Hongshuang!

As for those four words.

He chose not to elaborate further...

City East, within Shuanghe Temple.

After announcing his name, Chen Yuan found himself standing in front of Shuanghe Temple.

The place wasn’t extravagant or imposing, just an ordinary-looking female temple.

It actually occupied an area not much different from that of Qingyun Temple.

But no one dared to underestimate this place: not only was the temple’s master the daughter of the current Shen Wu True Monarch, the temple’s visitors were no ordinary people either,

They were either concubines from the harem or family members of noble houses within Divine Capital City.

And Shuanghe Temple had a significant background. Chen Yuan had long known that ’Shuang’ was derived from Li Hongshuang’s ’shuang,’ and ’He’ was undoubtedly from Jiang He’s ’he.’

Looking at the plaque hanging high above, Chen Yuan’s spirit couldn’t help but travel back in time.

It began one evening in front of the Royal Family’s Ancestral Hall, at Earl’s mansion.

When Jiang He decided to confront a True Monarch head-on, he had once handed over a palm-sized white Jade Sword to Chen Yuan, and entrusted him that if he did not return,

to pass the sword on to Li Hongshuang.

Chen Yuan, if things were as expected, saw the sword as the token of their troth, bearing a sense of entrusting his legacy. Through this, Chen Yuan also felt that Jiang He, in fact, was not without feelings for Li Hongshuang.

Otherwise, he would never have made such a statement.

But later, after the ancestral ceremony, Jiang He retreated safely with the assistance of Senior Moluo. Just before they were about to part, he asked for the white Jade Sword to be returned to him.

At the time, he said:

"The Jade Sword?"

Chen Yuan answered:

"I was about to deliver it to Li Hongshuang."

Jiang He looked deeply at him for a long time, turned his back, and said softly:

"No need."

From the expression on his face, Chen Yuan always felt there was something awkward about it; there were feelings mixed with some twists, as if he was afraid to confront them, yet it also seemed like he was wary of something else.

Originally, Chen Yuan had thought of helping him break through the barrier between him and Li Hongshuang, but in the end, he couldn’t persuade Jiang He, and had to return the Jade Sword to him.

Jiang He was a man with firm convictions, but it seemed that his attachment to his emotions wasn’t as strong.

His spirit returning to the present, Chen Yuan sighed lightly.

As for the stubborn Jiang He, he really couldn’t help even if he wanted to.

He did not attempt to persuade Jiang He to be magnanimous either, after all, he had not experienced the complexities involved and could only let it be...

Before long, the Daoist nun who had gone to inform the temple’s master returned, looking somewhat surprised at Chen Yuan, for their temple master seldom had entanglements with men.

Could there be some kind of relationship between this Earl Wuwei and the temple master?

She dared not ponder further, and quickly performed a salute, saying:

"Master Chen, the temple master is waiting for you inside."

"Please lead the way."

"Master Chen, this way, please."

Entering Shuanghe Temple, Chen Yuan caught sight of many female practitioners with an ethereal air about them, and their gazes were filled with surprise and curiosity when they looked at him.

Chen Yuan’s reputation in Divine Capital City was not small, especially after he made a name for himself in the Sumeru Illusion Realm. Many recognized him, which naturally made them very curious.

After all, it should stand to reason that this famous Chen Commander had nothing to do with their temple master.

Under the guidance of the leading Daoist nun, Chen Yuan passed through two gates, and as he was about to enter the great hall, a very familiar figure came out from inside.

Princess Pingyang!

She, too, was here today!

Seeing that it was Chen Yuan, Princess Pingyang gave a secretive smile without showing any surprise because she had said long ago that there must be a connection between Chen Yuan and Li Hongshuang,

And it was definitely because of Jiang He, the Golden Envoy from Qingzhou. freeweɓnovel~cѳm

"Commander Chen."

"Princess Pingyang."

The two exchanged greetings.

"I heard that Chen, the Green Envoy, is about to leave the Capital?" Princess Pingyang asked casually.

Chen Yuan nodded:

"I’ve encountered a bottleneck in my cultivation and would like to travel back to Qingzhou for a while."

The fact that he was preparing to leave could be seen from the new commander temporarily appointed by the Eastern Imperial City Bureau, and he was not surprised that Princess Pingyang, with her power, knew about this—it was quite normal.

After all, he had not made any secret of it.

This journey was a forthright one, not clandestine, and there was no need for secrecy.

"Who would’ve thought that even someone as talented as Chen, the Green Envoy, would encounter a bottleneck?" Princess Pingyang said with a light smile.

"Your Highness flatters me; my talent is but mediocre. Isn’t it quite normal to face bottlenecks?" Chen Yuan replied with a self-deprecating laugh.

Princess Pingyang: "....."

She was momentarily at a loss for words. If it were anyone else making that claim, it would be quite standard, but was Chen Yuan like everyone else? He was known as the most talented prodigy in the Central Plains in a hundred years.

If such a person were only ordinary, then it would leave no room for anyone else to stand.

"Since Chen, the Green Envoy, has something to discuss with Daoist Li, this princess will take her leave. Farewell."

Princess Pingyang changed her tone immediately.

"Princess, please, as you wish."

With a slight nod, Chen Yuan responded.

Princess Pingyang smiled and said no more, turning to leave with the two maids by her side.

Watching her alluring figure recede, Chen Yuan squinted his eyes. After a moment, he turned and strode into the temple, where Li Hongshuang, clothed in a black gauzy Daoist robe, sat in a meditative pose.
