Chapter 223: Coincidental Meeting with the Messenger

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In the room, the Crown Prince sat opposite Zhao Xuanxuan. He sighed and said, “I don’t need you to recruit talents. Just help me look after Second Brother obediently.”

“And that Su Daqiang! Whether it’s him or not, I’ll think of a way to deal with him!” the Crown Prince said in a low voice.

Zhao Xuanxuan fell into silence as she said unhappily, “I also want to help you. Look at you, you didn’t hesitate to go against Father in order to rope in those people. Wouldn’t it be easier for us to nurture some people in the court?”

The Crown Prince shook his head and said, “What do you know? Father gave this memorial to me, what did he mean? It seemed to be a violation, but it was actually a consideration of his! When I placed this memorial in front of Chen Guobin, Ge Quan, and Pan Sihai, all these guys cowered, right? You were also present that day, so which one of them didn’t curse Ji Yuchen and begged me to get rid of this old fellow after that? They were all from Fu Ning, but they didn’t dare to personally involve themselves in it, afraid of angering Father. This time, I helped them, so they will have to do things for me in future. This is very simple logic.”

“When I killed Ji Yuchen, although Father showed his displeasure and reprimanded me, I could tell that he was not really angry. After that, he settled the matter, so I knew that he approved of my punishment. Although he was a little unhappy, he was not really angry. However, today, this memorial was flying around the capital. Let’s not talk about what others will think, but it must have come from me. This is a huge crime!”

“I can show it to those people because I’m sure they won’t release the memorial, nor would they dare to do so. How dare you show this memorial to a servant? And it’s Su Wen’s servant? It’s all thanks to that brat being in the prison now! You have to know that his signature was on the memorial! I wonder what Ji Yuchen has to do with him.”

At the mention of Su Wen, fear flashed across the Crown Prince’s eyes. “But no matter what, the two of them must be related. However, it will take at least another year for him to come out. At that time, there won’t be any clues left. I have to deal with Su Daqiang first, or else Su Wen will definitely find trouble with you!”

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure suddenly appeared in the room.

“Roaming Dragon Wind Sword!” Su Wen wielded his sword and stabbed it at the crown prince.

When he heard that the Crown Prince was the murderer, Su Wen actually hesitated.

Kill, or not to kill?

In the end, Su Wen still decided to kill him!

However, just in case, Su Wen did not activate his fire attributed techniques!

The moment he rushed into the room, experts immediately rushed out from the shadows!

However, Su Wen was too fast!

He held the longsword transformed from Die Yi and ruthlessly stabbed at the crown prince’s throat!

Bang!

Su Wen was stopped.

A layer of Qi appeared around the Crown Prince!

Su Wen’s attack could no longer advance!

“A protective spirit artifact!” Su Wen’s eyes widened as he immediately made a judgment.

It should be something similar to the Flame God Token he had on himself.

Obviously, this thing was used to block the attacks of Heaven Rank experts, and Su Wen was unable to break through it.

If he could use his full strength, perhaps he could still give it a try. However, Su Wen did not dare to expose himself. Once he activated the holy flames, it was extremely likely to arouse Emperor Zhou’s suspicion.

While his sword move did not succeed, it was too late to try another.

The surrounding experts had already arrived!

“What a brazen madman! He actually tried to assassinate the Crown Prince!”

The surrounding guards had already charged forward.

However, what kind of battle prowess did Su Wen have? Even if he did not activate his fire-attribute cultivation technique, Su Wen’s current battle prowess was definitely not something an ordinary 9th Grade Earth Rank expert could match.

In just a few moves, he had already killed someone.

At this moment, Su Wen suddenly felt his heart palpitate.

A Heaven Rank expert was coming! He couldn’t stay here for long!

Su Wen moved extremely quickly and shot out through the window! Right at this moment, a figure had already shot over from the sky above the Crown Prince’s residence.

Su Wen noticed this fellow and directly barged into a room.

That person sneered, before slapping down with his right hand!

“Grand Palm of Vajrayana! Die!”

Bang!

With a casual palm strike, its might was akin to that of a god. The entire room was crushed into powder!

But the person frowned in response.

“He’s not here? Ran away?” He was in disbelief.

He landed on the ground, his Qi force whipping the air around him.

The powder on the ground was blown away. As expected, there was no blood at all.

How would he know that the moment Su Wen entered the room, he opened his teleportation portal and stepped in?

By the time the palm landed, Su Wen had already returned to Chu.

At this moment, the Crown Prince arrived. “Senior Wen, was that person a Heaven Rank expert?”

The man shook his head and frowned. “I don’t know. I can’t tell much about his aura, so I think he must have some kind of secret treasure that hides his aura. It’s also at an extremely high level. As for how he escaped, I don’t have any clue. Perhaps he really is a Heaven Rank expert. Don’t worry, Crown Prince. As long as you wear the Dragon Jade His Majesty bestowed on you, the palace will sense it once it’s triggered, and I’ll rush over immediately. Even a Heaven Rank expert will find it difficult to assassinate you!”

Hearing this person’s words, the Crown Prince felt relieved.

In the palace.

Emperor Zhou closed his eyes and listened to the Heaven Rank expert’s report.

He frowned before walking to a huge spirit disc.

On the spirit disc was the entire capital city of Great Zhou, vivid and lifelike. Occasionally, red dots would appear, indicating that it was a Heaven Rank expert!

Emperor Zhou looked at the eunuch and asked, “Was there a Heaven Rank fluctuation just now?”

“Nothing of that sort was detected.”

Emperor Zhou frowned. “The Spiritual Plate has been tested and is extremely accurate. If a Heaven Rank expert enters the capital, I should be the first to discover it.”

“That person has a Qi concealing treasure on him!”

Emperor Zhou looked puzzled. “Ordinary methods to hide one’s aura won’t be able to hide from this thing, but if one’s rank is high enough, they might be able to hide from the spirit disc. This thing is still a little lacking, but no matter who it is, once they use their Heaven Rank power, there’s no way they can escape the spirit disc’s detection.

You said that the person killed the Crown Prince’s guard and then escaped from you. It indeed doesn’t seem like a 9th Grade Earth Rank technique, but the spirit disc didn’t sense anything either. What’s going on?”

After some thought, Emperor Zhou waved his hand and gestured for the person to leave.

The two of them remained in silence for a while before Emperor Zhou sighed and asked the old eunuch, “Who do you think did this?”

The old eunuch did not reply.

Emperor Zhou touched his chin and analyzed by himself, “That person’s speed is extremely fast and his combat strength is extremely strong. With a long sword… he can kill a 9th Grade Earth Rank expert in a few moves. Other than the wrong weapon, he kind of resembles Wu Kunhu.”

“But Wu Kunhu is far away at the border now. He shouldn’t be able to return.”

“And from the looks of it, he doesn’t seem like a Heaven Rank expert. Otherwise, the guard wouldn’t have been able to last until the second move. The question is, how did he escape? It’s too strange for someone to escape safely without being discovered even though a Heaven Rank expert is at the scene.”

“A 9th Grade Earth Rank cultivator that possesses extraordinary combat strength. If it isn’t Wu Kunhu, then who is it? An expert raised by the Second and Third Brothers? If that’s the case, then these two brats have improved a bit. Unfortunately, the Crown Prince is the Crown Prince after all, and he can’t die from assassination.”

He did not even think about Su Wen.

After all, he would never have thought that Su Wen would turn around and give the Crown Prince a slap from so far away.

Emperor Zhou closed his eyes and sighed. “The Crown Prince is too impatient and his methods are too crude. I gave him Ji Yuchen’s memorial, but he killed Ji Yuchen instead. Although he roped in some people, this method is not good enough.”

“If it’s me, I will definitely protect Ji Yuchen and restrict his tax system. At the same time, I will use Ji Yuchen to beat up those aristocratic families. However, if my methods are a little rough, then so be it. After all, he will still have some gains. I’m still young, it’s not good for him to be too powerful. However, for someone to actually expose the memorial, it shows that his control is not strict. This is a big taboo, it’s the way to get into trouble!”

At this point, he revealed a smile. “I kind of miss Su Wen. Although he’s young, he’s still very reliable. There aren’t many people in the younger generation who have such methods, but this kid’s temper is a problem. He still doesn’t know that the Crown Prince killed that old thing Ji Yuchen. Otherwise, I’m not sure what he’ll do!”

“However, in another year or so, when he comes back, everything will be settled. He won’t know anything. No matter how stupid the Crown Prince is, he won’t leave any clues when the time comes.”

At this moment, in the wilderness of Chu…

Su Wen appeared.

“Huuu!”

He exhaled a long breath.

How close! The instant that Heaven Rank expert attacked, a terrifying pressure descended on him.

If he was really hit, he would probably die on the spot.

Zhao Jin and the others waited on the spot.

They had already left the capital and were rushing towards the Flame God Sect. This time, Su Wen only brought Zhao Jin and Xue Qianxun with him, as well as the Blue Cloud Tiger.

“Young Master… are you alright?” Zhao Jin could tell that Su Wen was in a sorry state.

Su Wen smiled. “It’s fine! Cook! Eat!”

The Crown Prince’s possession of a protective spirit artifact was out of Su Wen’s expectations.

However, Su Wen was not in a hurry. Since he now knew who was the culprit, he would take his time to ‘greet’ the person.

Brother Jin’s culinary skills were still good. In a short period of time, he had already made a table of dishes.

Su Wen pondered as he ate.

Just then… a group of people arrived from afar.

There were about ten people in the group that came. All of them were dressed like pugilists.

When he saw Xue Qianxun, the eyes of the cold man that was leading the group lit up.

It had to be said that Xue Qianxun’s looks were indeed outstanding.

The man waved his hand and everyone stopped.

He dismounted from his horse and arrived in front of Su Wen. He cupped his hands and said with a smile, “Brother, can I ask for a way? How does one go to the Flame God Sect?”

Su Wen was stunned. Did this fellow know where he was going?

However, how could Su Wen remember how to go? He thus ignored the man and continued eating.

Zhao Jin stood up and berated, “What the f*ck? Why are you talking to my young master the moment you come up? Don’t you have any manners?”

With that said, the people behind the man all revealed furious expressions.

“Are you courting death?” One of them pulled out his sword.

The leader waved his hand and said, “Your words are a little too rash. We’re just asking for directions. I’m Ouyang Bubai from the Thunder God Sect.”

Ouyang… Undefeated?

This name made Su Wen want to give him the remaining half of the pill.

At this moment, a woman in the group said, “That’s right. My brother is just asking for directions. It’s fine if you don’t want to tell him, but why are you so rude?”

Zhao Jin sneered. He was rude, but that was purely based on Su Wen’s attitude.

Seeing that Su Wen had no intention of responding, wouldn’t he be rude?

Just as he was about to speak, he saw Su Wen stand up and immediately shut his mouth.

Su Wen turned to face the woman. Hmm, decent appearance.

Thus, Su Wen smiled and said, “I’m sorry, my brother is usually like this. His temper is not good, so please forgive him. Brother Jin, tell them the direction of the Flame God Sect.”

Zhao Jin immediately pointed in the direction.

However, how could Ouyang Bubai be interested in asking for directions? After hearing this, he did not leave and instead started talking to Su Wen. “May I know where you are going?”

“The Flame God Sect.” Su Wen didn’t hide anything. He looked at this fellow in front of him with a smile in his eyes. He was very curious about what kind of bullsh*t this guy was trying to do.”

As expected, Ouyang Bubai smiled, “Could it be that brother is a disciple of the Flame God Sect?”

“Then brother should have heard of my name, right?” Ouyang Bubai was rather confident. “Our two Flame and Thunder God Sects are the strongest sects in Great Chu. This time, I’m going to the Flame God Sect on my master’s orders to deliver a letter. Since it’s on the way, why don’t we travel together?”

With his 6th Grade Earth Rank cultivation, he could indeed be considered not bad among the younger generation.

Unfortunately, Su Wen shook his head and said with a smile, “Sorry, I’ve never heard of your name. Since you’re here to send a letter, just pass it to me. You can go back now.”

Ouyang Bubai was stunned… Why did his words make so much sense?

He hurriedly said, “No, my master said that the letter must be personally delivered to the sect master of the Flame God Sect.”

As soon as he finished speaking, his younger sister, Ouyang Yiyi, couldn’t help but say, “You’ve never even heard of my brother’s name. I wonder if you’re really a disciple of the Flame God Sect.”

Before Su Wen could speak, Ouyang Bubai turned around and berated, “What are you interrupting for? Do you have the right to speak here?”

Su Wen waved his hand and smiled. “It’s alright, I like it when people interrupt.”

Ouyang Bubai was stunned before he smiled, “Brother is magnanimous, how about we travel together then?”

“Alright!”

Su Wen nodded in agreement.

The others also stepped forward to introduce themselves.

Ouyang Bubai and the others also dismounted and prepared to rest.

Walking to his sister, Ouyang Bubai said in a low voice, “Don’t be so rash! Didn’t you see that woman? She’s extremely beautiful. Your brother has taken a fancy to her, and I intend to marry her!”

Ouyang Yiyi curled her lips and said, “She might even be Su Daqiang’s concubine. How are you going to marry her?”

Ouyang Bubai analyzed in all seriousness, “What do you know? Did you see that? That woman’s cultivation is at least at the 6th Grade of Earth Rank! She’s not much inferior to me. Among the younger generation, those with such cultivation are as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns. Which sect would be willing to let her get married so early? No matter how bad Su Daqiang is, let’s endure it and create an opportunity for your brother!”

As he spoke, he called the disciples of the Thunder God Sect over and instructed them.

These disciples had all followed him out to see the world. Their cultivation levels were not high, and most of them were only at Star Rank.

They naturally nodded in agreement.

On their end, the logistics personnel had just set up a fire and was preparing to eat when a scene that left them dumbfounded appeared.

Xue Qianxun brought a basin of hot water and knelt in front of Su Wen to help him wash his feet!

Sssssss…

Everyone gasped and turned to look at Ouyang Bubai.

Ouyang Bubai was stunned as well.

That was a 6th Grade Earth Rank expert!

And furthermore, she was so young!

No matter how one looked at it, she should have been a proud daughter of heaven!

Why was she kneeling on the ground to wash that man’s feet?

In particular, the image of the goddess that had just risen in Ouyang Bubai’s heart felt like it was about to shatter.

He couldn’t help but walk over.

When Su Wen saw him coming over, he smiled and said, “Take your time to eat. I want to soak my feet and relax.”

Ouyang Bubai :”…”

“May I know who this is?”

“My servant, Xue Qianxun.” Su Wen’s words stunned Ouyang Bubai.

He was shocked. Such a young genius with a cultivation of 6th Grade Earth Rank was a slave in the Flame God Sect?

Wasn’t the foundation of the Flame God Sect a little too deep?

“This… this… this…” He goes on for a long time, but doesn’t know what to say.

Looking at Xue Qianxun gently washing Su Wen’s feet, Ouyang Bubai felt heartache, jealousy, and unwillingness.

But what could he do?

Finally, he sighed and turned to leave.

After Su Wen finished washing his feet, Zhao Jin took out a recliner. Su Wen laid down on the recliner and took a book to pass the time. Ouyang Bubai said to Ouyang Yiyi, “Go chat with him and distract him. I’ll go talk to that Miss Xue!”

Ouyang Yiyi curled her lips and said, “Brother, you still want to marry her?”

“What do you know? With such a young cultivation, how can she be someone’s servant? I don’t believe that the Flame God Sect is that strong! There must be a reason for this. I’ll go and ask. If we can bring her back to the Thunder God Sect, even if we do not marry, it will still be a great merit!” Ouyang Bubai said seriously.

“Fine.”

Ouyang Yiyi walked towards Su Wen.

Ouyang Bubai immediately leaned towards Xue Qianxun, who was pouring the water for his feet.

“Miss Xue! Miss Xue!”

He shouted in a low voice.

Xue Qianxun was stunned. “Is there something you need?”

Ouyang Bubai asked with a smile, “I see that Miss’s cultivation is extraordinary, and you even have an exotic beast by your side. Why do you want to become Su Daqiang’s servant?”

Xue Qianxun snorted. “None of your business!”

Since the past was unbearable to look back on, she naturally wouldn’t share it.

After saying that, Qianxun was about to leave when Ouyang Bubai hurriedly took a step forward to stop her. “Miss Xue, no matter what grievances you have, as long as you say it, I guarantee that I’ll help you mediate. My father is an elder of the Thunder God Sect. Even in the sect, his words carry great weight. As long as you’re willing to transfer to our Thunder God Sect, my father will speak up for you. There’s a high chance that the Flame God Sect will let you go. At that time, you’ll be a genius of the sect. Why do you need to be a slave?”

“Hehe, get lost. I still have to give my young master a massage!”

Xue Qianxun could not be bothered with him.

Ouyang Bubai wanted to stop her once more, but suddenly, Zhao Jin appeared at his side and berated, “What the f*ck are you doing? Hasn’t my young master given you enough face? You even took the opportunity when my young master wasn’t paying attention to flirt with his women?”

“I didn’t!” Ouyang Bubai hurriedly denied.

Xue Qianxun walked past Zhao Jin, completely ignoring their conversation.

Zhao Jin looked at Ouyang Bubai and sneered, “Let me tell you, don’t provoke my young master. His temper isn’t good. If you anger him, you’ll regret it.”

With that said, Zhao Jin also left, leaving behind Ouyang Bubai alone…

That night, when Ouyang Bubai saw Xue Qianxun enter Su Wen’s tent… he felt as if his heart had been shattered.

Meanwhile, in the capital of Great Chu, some people had already begun to ponder how to please Xiang Feiyan.
