Emperor Yu certainly understood him, and conversely, Liu Sheng was also well aware of the Emperor's character.

To put it bluntly, the Emperor was arrogant and extremely confident.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have delegated authority to just a few of them.

In fact, Liu Sheng knew he couldn't hide anything from Emperor Yu, and neither could the events in Great Yu be concealed from him.

It was just that they had to maintain appearances.

"Alas!"

Zhan Tian let out a long sigh, truly exhausted.

But this was normal; wasn't it the job of the ministers to figure out how to deal with His Majesty?

As for our emperor... high-spirited and ambitious, always feeling everything is under control.

Too confident!

Sometimes it's not a good thing!

"Why sigh? It's quite amusing."

"Let His Majesty think everything is under control."

"This way, he can be at ease!"

Upon hearing this, Zhan Tian shook his head helplessly, "You…"

Since Emperor Yu rejected him last time, it was clear that Liu Sheng had some resentment in his heart.

Originally wanting to persuade him, but thinking better of it, he decided not to.

He's not a child anymore; he has his own sense of measure.

...

That day.

When Liu Sheng returned to the Ritual Department, he handed everything over to Kang Bai and then announced his own retreat.

He also instructed that if there were major issues that couldn't be resolved, they should go to Zhan Tian.

He then directly entered the secret chamber and activated the array.

At this moment, Kang Bai stood before the secret chamber, showing no sign of change, but feeling deeply bewildered inside.

Having followed Liu Sheng for so many years, he naturally knew him well.

He felt Liu Sheng was acting very strangely.

"What is the Chief Eunuch planning?"

Night fell!

"Your Majesty, the array around the Imperial City sensed a slight fluctuation, but it's unclear who it was."

On the dragon throne, Emperor Yu slowly opened his eyes and spoke faintly, "What about that boy?"

"He left the Imperial City today as well, but we lost track of him."

"Lost him?"

The once somewhat cloudy eyes immediately became clear.

The person following Chen Xuan was a master in the Dao Realm's seventh layer and adept at concealment; even within a hundred meters, a mid-eighth layer might not sense his presence.

Unexpectedly, they lost track!

"That boy is quite capable."

Emperor Yu murmured, his interest in Chen Xuan growing.

"Order them to keep an eye on Prince Xuan's Mansion; I want to see what game this boy is playing!"

"Yes!"

The eunuch outside replied respectfully, then immediately went to deliver the decree.

As for Emperor Yu, he slowly closed his eyes again and continued cultivating.

....

"Whew—"

Chen Xuan exhaled deeply, finally returning to the Primordial Realm.

"Alright, you all go back. I have something to attend to with the Chief Eunuch for a while, stay in the Primordial Realm, and don't go out!"

"Husband..."

Luan Ying blurted out, wanting to ask what he was doing, but Ning Xin stopped her, "Alright, go do your thing. You don't have to worry about this place."

"Hmm!"

Chen Xuan nodded, then left the Primordial Realm.

"Sister Xin'Er...."

Luan Ying looked at Ning Xin, puzzled.

"Don't you feel like Husband is acting a bit strange?"

Gu Pengyou asked.

Earlier, inside the carriage, Chen Xuan forcibly used the Divine Step Technique to take the several women into the spatial crack, and later, after covering ten thousand miles, he used the Rule of Space, bringing them to the Primordial Realm.

It should be known that forcibly using the Divine Step Technique to bring so many people along was too much even for Chen Xuan.

But why still use it?

It was obviously a bit off!

"Alright, let's go back. Husband's strength now ensures he won't have any trouble."

Currently, Great Yu can't easily make a move against Chen Xuan, not to mention he can summon the rabbit at any time, which possesses Dao Realm eighth-layer strength.

At this moment, Chen Xuan, in the spatial crack, furrowed his brows tightly.

"Who could it be?"

If he hadn't mastered forty percent of the Rule of Space, he might not have discovered that person.

At first, he thought it was just a coincidence.

But after being followed for dozens of miles, continuously maintaining a thousand meters of distance.

This also confirmed that it wasn't that simple.

So, he immediately used Divine Step Technique, taking the several women directly into the spatial crack, using the Rule of Space for the journey until completely exhausted.

Just then, the Communication Spirit Talisman in Chen Xuan's pocket vibrated.

Upon taking it out, he saw it was from Liu Sheng, so he quickly injected spiritual power.

"I'll reach Bright Moon Mansion in two days, wait for me in the city."

"Yes, Chief Eunuch!"

Chen Xuan replied, but didn't immediately retract the spirit talisman, hesitating whether to inform Liu Sheng about this matter.

After a moment of thought, he decided it was best to mention it.

A moment later, Liu Sheng replied.

"I'm aware, don't bother with him, and don't take any action against him!"

Liu Sheng's tone was somewhat grave.

Chen Xuan instantly understood that person must belong to Emperor Yu.

Otherwise, Liu Sheng wouldn't have reacted this way.

Why was Emperor Yu watching him?

Chen Xuan was quite puzzled, especially since this came unexpectedly.

...

The stone cave was located in Bright Moon Mansion, and at the city gate, Chen Xuan had already changed his appearance. After passing inspection, he smoothly entered the city.

He randomly found an inn to stay in, sent a message to Liu Sheng, and then began cultivating again.

As for wandering around, that was unnecessary.

Previously, while searching for the Human Realm's coordinates, he had already scouted all of Great Yu's Hundred Mansions.

It could be said that he was very familiar with the Hundred Mansions of Great Yu now.

Soon, two days passed.

Liu Sheng also arrived on time.

Upon meeting, the first question Chen Xuan asked was why Emperor Yu was having someone follow him.

"It's not for you, it might be because of me?"

"Chief Eunuch?"

Chen Xuan raised an eyebrow, a bit puzzled.

"Haha!"

Liu Sheng chuckled lightly, then explained, "Our Emperor's curiosity is a bit excessive, and my sudden seclusion raised his suspicions. Moreover, I entered the Imperial Palace earlier to ask His Majesty if there was a way to help you complete your Jade Bones."

"He must have guessed something."

"That's why he has someone secretly following you."

"But it's nothing serious."

"Curiosity?"

Chen Xuan looked skeptical, questioning internally if it was true or not.
