Mr. Nan Chen must have discovered sothing; that’s why, after seeing the remains of Sir Nan Huo, he was quite angry and wanted to confront Gan Liu.
"Could Gan Liu, who did not kill my master before, be unwilling to give up this ti and has conspired with Lady Nan Feng again to harm my master?"
Ouyang Chenchen snapped back to reality, her face changing dramatically.
"It’s very possible. Gan Liu is full of ambition. Failing to find the complete Ancient Array Map and to inherit from Tian Jizi, he must be feeling unsatisfied,"
mused Dugu Wu.
"This is bad, Mr. Nan Chen is in danger. We must go to Wei Mountain to rescue him."
Feng Bailing thought of the Holy Seal and suddenly realized sothing was amiss.
Lady Nan Feng has always coveted the Fire Holy Seal within Mr. Nan Chen’s body, but its power is extrely volatile and beyond the control of others.
But just because others have no thod, it doesn’t an Gan Liu is without one. Skilled in all kinds of unorthodox practices, he has now gone to Wei Mountain, and with Lady Nan Feng taking Mr. Nan Chen there as well, Feng Bailing did not dare to think further.
Having spoken, she and Ouyang Chenchen rushed toward Wei Mountain.
At that mont, Dugu Wu halted Feng Bailing.
"A few of you going is not enough to oppose Gan Liu. When Xiao Junci left the Soldier Inn, he exchanged a few words with Lady Nan Feng, and I heard him ntion ’Wei Mountain.’"
"We can’t worry about that now, Mr. Nan Chen is in danger. He is Chenchen’s teacher, we can’t stand by and watch him die."
"Bailing, this matter does not concern you. I will take the people from the Daye Representative Team to Wei Mountain, and hope it’s not too late,"
Ouyang Chenchen said with a wry smile.
If the teacher is unwilling to use the Fire Holy Seal to refine chromium tal, how could she have the cheek to ask Feng Bailing for help?
"You (plural) are no match for Xiao Junci, but it’s different with joining,"
said Dugu Wu, shifting his tone.
Beside him, Dugu Xiaojin also hurriedly spoke up.
"Queen Mother, I will go with father and you. We can protect you."
Today’s Dugu Xiaojin is not ordinary; he can communicate with Xiao Hong. Earlier, Zhang Dafa managed to bring Red Scorpions to attack Qinghe City, all thanks to Dugu Xiaojin’s covert aid.
Just as the group was leaving Qinghe City, they saw Dongfang Yu and his wife, along with several mbers of the Great Chu Team, also arriving at the city gate.
"Prince Wu, the Competition Among Ten Countries has ended, and we should hurry back to Great Chu."
Dongfang Yu’s complexion was sowhat unsightly; early today, he received a letter from Chu City, and its content shocked him.
He had to return to Chu City as quickly as possible, so at the Soldier Inn, he also agreed to postpone the third round of the Competition Among Ten Countries.
Dongfang Yu had already regrouped, deciding to dash back to Chu City without delay.
He went to Dugu Wu’s inn, and upon finding that both husband and wife were not there, he waited at the city gate.
"Crown Prince, the Princess Consort and I have so matters to attend to at Wei Mountain."
"Are you trying to defy this palace?"
Dongfang Yu said discontentedly.
During this Ten Countries Competition, Dugu Wu had defied Dongfang Yu’s wishes more than once.
"Crown Prince, you and the Crown Princess Consort, along with others, may leave first, and I will follow up later."
Dugu Wu also disregarded the displeasure on Dongfang Yu’s face.
"Your Highness, let’s return to Chu City first."
Beside him, Nalan Yan’er, looking at Feng Bailing and Dugu Wu, felt a bout of irritation.
During this Ten Countries Competition, she had hoped to take the chance to get rid of Feng Bailing and Dugu Xiaojin, mother and child, but never found the opportunity. Instead, it seed that the relationship between the Dugu couple had grown stronger.
"You better watch yourself."
Dongfang Yu cast a profound glance at Dugu Wu, then turned around and led the other mbers of the Great Chu team away.
"What’s going on? Looking at the couple, sothing must have happened in Chu City."
Feng Bailing also noticed the aggravated expressions on Dongfang Yu and his wife.
"News from Chu City has arrived; the Emperor has recently conferred a new Noble Princess Consort."
New Noble Princess Consort?
Feng Bailing was quite surprised.
Emperor Yongye was not a man of lechery; over these years, there have only ever been three Noble Princess Consorts in his harem.
Why would he suddenly confer a new consort at this ti?
The selection of consorts for Great Chu is very strict. Ladies who enter the palace as beauties often need several years, even more than a decade, to be made consorts; even Noble Princess Consort Xiao, who was once greatly favored, had to climb the ranks step by step and was only conferred consort status after bearing offspring.
The fact that this new consort was imdiately made a Noble Princess Consort is indeed out of the ordinary.
"I’m not entirely clear about the reasons, we’ll have to return to Chu City to find out. But for now, rescuing Mr. Nan Chen is more important."
Regarding the matters in Chu City, Dugu Wu showed impatience; his indifference towards Emperor Yongye was extre.
The group imdiately left Qinghe City and hastened towards Wei Mountain.
At this ti, near the Red Scorpion Desert, a hurried figure appeared.
Divine Doctor Lu anxiously looked behind, as if soone was chasing him.
Wiping the sweat from his brow and ensuring there were no pursuers behind him, Divine Doctor Lu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Yet after just a few steps, Divine Doctor Lu’s expression drastically changed; standing in front of him was soone with their back turned towards him.
Upon seeing this person, Divine Doctor Lu broke out in a cold sweat.
"Who are you? Why are you following ? Are you sent by Phoenix Chamber of Comrce?"
Changsun Rou had suffered a crushing defeat this ti in Qinghe City. Not only had she lost the shop in Underworld Market, but Elder Liu had also perished.
As a key figure of Zhangsun Lou, Divine Doctor Lu naturally could not escape unscathed. Knowing staying in Qinghe City would an the Phoenix Chamber of Comrce would not let him go, he hurriedly arranged to et Master Lu at the base of Wei Mountain, planning to escape together.
As long as he could find Changsun Rou, he believed that with his dical Skill, she would certainly employ him once more.
Originally, Divine Doctor Lu had already reached the base of Wei Mountain, only to encounter a man who suddenly appeared.
The man did not speak and just stood there.
Divine Doctor Lu panicked, fearing he might be captured by the Phoenix Chamber of Comrce and killed like Elder Liu, so he fled in haste, not even having ti to inform Master Lu.
He ran desperately, thinking he was safe, yet this man kept appearing before him like a specter, over and over again.
The man turned around slowly, and the mont Divine Doctor Lu saw his face, he was stunned.
"You’re not from the Phoenix Chamber of Comrce."
The man’s appearance and manner surprised Divine Doctor Lu; it was clear the man before him was no ordinary person.
The man curled his lips, his gaze landing on Divine Doctor Lu, and slowly opened his mouth, uttering a sentence.
"Lu Jun, long ti no see."
Divine Doctor Lu’s real na was Lu Jun, but ever since he acquired that dical book and mastered its teachings, he beca known to others as Divine Doctor Lu. It had been many years since anyone had called him by his na.
The man addressing him by na clearly indicated they were old acquaintances.
Divine Doctor Lu looked perplexed as he sized up the man before him, but after searching through his mories, he really could not recall this person.
"Who are you, in the end?"
Divine Doctor Lu was puzzled.
"Looks like you’ve already forgotten. The rainy night... the temple,"
murmured the man, his lips – more delicate than petals – moved slightly.
