"She wants to inherit the full legacy of Piaomiao Palace, and then, beco the new palace master!" Chu Yan said lightly.
"Cooperating with the Heavenly Sword Sect?" A hint of mockery crossed Chu Mo's face. "Does she not fear that these two young ladies might get devoured?"
Chu Yan glanced at Chu Mo, speaking softly, "What if... those two have beco people of the Heavenly Sword Sect's leader?"
"What do you an?"
"Wu Yiju is deep and calculating," Chu Yan sighed lightly. "Several years ago, she secretly beca involved with the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect and even bore him a son, who was brought up in the secular world. She wants her son to be the future master of Piaomiao Palace. In this way, the Heavenly Sword Sect will undoubtedly support her, with trendous force."
Chu Mo gazed at Chu Yan, sowhat surprised. "How did you discover such a covert matter?"
Chu Yan smiled gently, "The truth is, Wu Yiju can be as cunning and calculating as she wishes, but in the end... she is a mother."
Chu Mo's eyes squinted slightly as he asked, "Is the child... in Yanhuang City?"
"You're sharp, young master!" Chu Yan laughed, "Wu Yiju thought she had hidden him well. Indeed, we initially had suspicions about them all, but didn't pay much attention. Until one day, under the pretext of going shopping, she surreptitiously visited a house in the northern part of the city..."
Chu Mo fell silent for a while, then murmured, "Wu Yiju... ng Yilan, so does this an that the people of the Heavenly Sword Sect have arrived in Yanhuang City?"
Chu Yan nodded, "Yes, but we do not know when they will act."
"Regardless of when they act, their target should be ." A chilling glimr flashed in Chu Mo's eyes. "Xiao Yiyue and others may have control of Piaomiao Palace's legacy, yet they are still part of the sa sect, and rather scattered. Unless... the people of the Heavenly Sword Sect... can capture them all..."
Chu Mo's eyes abruptly blazed as he asked Chu Yan, "Where is Xiao Yiyue and the others now?"
Chu Yan, looking equally shocked, replied, "They... didn't co. I initially invited them to the wedding ceremony, but they felt that they should not show their faces... that's right, it was Wu Yiju who suggested it!"
"Using this opportunity..." Chu Mo's eyes narrowed, mumbling to himself.
"Act now!" Chu Mo and Chu Yan said in unison, and saw shock mirror in each other's eyes.
Chu Yan drew in a sharp breath, "With Wu Yiju and ng Yilan as traitors, as well as the Heavenly Sword Sect elites suppressing them, it doesn't seem difficult to capture them all..."
Chu Mo coldly responded, "If everything goes smoothly, Wu Yiju and ng Yilan might not even need to expose themselves…"
Chu Yan added, "Neither would the Heavenly Sword Sect... they really planned it well!"
Chu Yan looked at Chu Mo remorsefully, "I'm sorry, young master, I…"
"No more words, watch this side; you go explain to my grandfather about this. I'm going to them right now!" As Chu Mo finished, his figure flickered and vanished into the void with a gust of wind.
A touch of pallor ca over Chu Yan's face. She took a deep breath and tried to compose herself before heading off.
Dong!
The gong struck, announcing the auspicious ti has arrived!
The royal banquet hall was filled with joy and exuberance as March General Fan Wudi's wedding ceremony officially began!
However, to everyone's surprise, Chu Mo, who should have appeared at the wedding ceremony, was mysteriously absent.
This shocking discovery left many baffled. What had happened? Why was Chu Mo, who should have been pivotal to the wedding ceremony, suddenly missing?
"I just saw him earlier... why hasn't he appeared? Did he forget the ti, or was there an ergency?" The old eunuch beside the Emperor murmured to himself, clearly intending it for the Emperor's ears.
The Emperor's deanor was calm and collected, he gave a light smile: "We are here today to attend Senior General Fan's wedding, nothing else matters."
The unnad elder eunuch's eyelids twitched slightly, he stole a glance at the Emperor's face, but could not discern any abnormalities. However, based on his understanding of the Emperor, he felt that the Emperor seed to know sothing.
At that mont, a faint voice reached the old eunuch's ears, it was unexpectedly from the Great Steward of the Imperial Palace - Mr. Tantai!
"Don't show any unusual expressions. Lately, a batch of powerful individuals has appeared in Yanhuang City, very powerful! They are likely targeting Chu Mo."
Mr. Tantai's words caused the unnad eunuch to shudder, as his eyes darted towards the smiling Emperor, the eunuch felt an unexpected chill in his heart.
"You stay here to protect the Emperor, I will go take a look." After passing this ssage to the unnad eunuch, Mr. Tantai vanished into the crowd.
At Mr. Tantai's level, disappearing unnoticed in front of these people was child's play.
Therefore, among these people, only the unnad eunuch knew Mr. Tantai had left. In fact, many didn't even realize Mr. Tantai had been there. After all, soone of Mr. Tantai's standing would not be questioned, even if he didn't make an appearance.
Almost simultaneously, Mr. Weichi, who had been accompanying Xia Jing, also vanished without a trace.
There were no signs of anything abnormal on Xia Jing's face, as he continued to chat and laugh with his royal kin nearby.
The wedding ceremony was in progress and joy radiated from Fan Wudi's face, but those who knew him well could see a hint of worry in the depths of his eyes.
The elderly man had already more or less understood what had happened.
Although Chu Yan had glossed over it, the events that caused Chu Mo to leave the wedding could not possibly be trivial.
Now, the elderly man could only hope that his grandson wouldn't face any danger.
Long Qiushui, who was next to him, was unaware of what was happening but this woman, who had also experienced many incidents, was far smarter than many would think.
Therefore, even though she hadn't seen Chu Mo appear, she did not show any signs of unusual activity.
...
Yanhuang City, city center.
In the backyard of a large shop on the busiest comrcial street was where the disciples of Piaomiao Palace gathered.
Xiao Yiyue and nine others were all present here. The sisters had always been close, having not seen each other in years, yet their feelings for each other had not waned in the slightest.
Having had similar experiences, they cherished their bond even more.
Looking at Zhao Xiaoxiao in the room, Xiao Yiyue said: "Xiaoxiao, you're the most outstanding among us. You must work hard. In the future, the position of Palace Mistress of the Piaomiao Palace ... will likely be reserved for you."
Zhao Xiaoxiao shook her head shyly: "It should be Senior Sister Yiniang."
Xiao Yiyue replied: "Yiniang has already entered the Immortal Realm and is unlikely to leave. Besides, she has the Palace Mistress to guard her. Perhaps one day... she will ascend."
"Ascension..." Zhao Xiaoxiao's eyes glead with longing.
Nobody noticed the hint of sarcasm that tugged at the corner of Wu Yiju's mouth or the anxious color that lurked in the depths of ng Yilan's eyes.
