If Xu Yufang had not acted so egregiously, Zi Ling's resentnt towards Xu Yufang would not still be so furious even after twenty years.
As soon as Lin Chen spoke, Xu Yufang's face turned crimson, feeling imnsely ashad inside.
"Back then, the Third Prince ordered to ruin Senior Brother Wu Haonan of the Yellow Hall and turn it into a laughingstock among the four halls, so I staged a play," Xu Yufang said with a hint of embarrassnt.
She had long noticed that the relationship between Zi Ling and Lin Chen was not ordinary, though unsure if they were Dao Companions, it was certainly beyond normal.
With the connection to Zi Ling, she feared she would suffer quite a bit at Lin Chen's hands.
Therefore, Xu Yufang didn't beat around the bush and laid bare the events of those years, hoping Lin Chen would directly punish her.
"So, the person behind you was the Third Prince Yun Chengji," Lin Chen looked at Xu Yufang and said in a flat tone.
"That's right, my master was indeed the Third Prince, but that is the past, now my master is you, my lord," Xu Yufang responded with a tingling scalp, hastily pledging her loyalty.
"Haha, your change of allegiance is swift indeed, just after I modified your divine soul brand, you forgot your previous master, if soone else were to erase your divine soul brand soday, would you also deal with as you did today?" Lin Chen looked at Xu Yufang expressionlessly; she couldn't fathom Lin Chen's inner joy or anger.
"The young lord may not know, all these years I was under the control of the Third Prince, many things were beyond my control, he never treated us as human, precisely because of the divine soul brand, we had to commit atrocious deeds."
"That's why over the years, we've hard fellow disciples and plundered treasures."
"The Third Prince raised many people, hence he needed a lot of money and resources to support, we, therefore, had to frequently gather wealth for him."
"This ti, our plan fell through, the Third Prince has suffered a heavy loss, young lord, you must be careful, the Third Prince will definitely not let it go," Xu Yufang said to Lin Chen in a calm tone.
Hearing this, Lin Chen slightly furrowed his brows, remaining silent.
Lin Chen originally controlled Xu Yufang just to use her to lure out Gu Zixuan and then kill him.
Unexpectedly, Lin Chen had such a surprising harvest, learning about the matters of the Third Prince.
In the future, Lin Chen feared gaining another formidable opponent.
Although Lin Chen had never t the Third Prince, the reputation of the Third Prince Yun Chengji had long spread throughout the Central State. The Third Prince and the Seventh Prince were the most valued princes in the Yunlong Country Royal Family.
Opposing such a person posed a threat far greater than that of the Flying Crane Sect.
Lin Chen never anticipated clashing with such a person so swiftly.
Moreover, this ti, Lin Chen not only disrupted the Third Prince's plans but also caused significant losses, if the Third Prince were to know it was Lin Chen's doing, trouble would surely ensue.
Lin Chen regarded Xu Yufang as crucial to keep alive, as she must beco a significant card against the Third Prince in the future.
Now, Lin Chen altered his original plan, and compared to dealing with the Third Prince, assassinating Gu Zixuan was truly a trivial matter.
After all, compared to the Third Prince, Gu Zixuan was rely a small minion.
Lin Chen had dismissed the idea of having Xu Yufang kill Gu Zixuan.
"You go back first, any developnts on the Third Prince's side need to be communicated to imdiately."
"Don't try any tricks on , your divine soul brand is bound to mine, if sothing happens to , you won't live either." Lin Chen said coldly to Xu Yufang, then tossed her a Jade Slip, which was Lin Chen's Communication Jade Slip.
"I dare not!" Xu Yufang hurriedly replied after hearing Lin Chen's words.
She absolutely did not think Lin Chen was deceiving her, after all, Lin Chen possessed the ans to modify the divine soul brand, what else could he not do?
Initially, Xu Yufang indeed planned to defect whenever it was beneficial to her, but after hearing Lin Chen's words, she dared not.
Only by ensuring Lin Chen's wellbeing could she avoid the threat to her life.
"Rest assured, young lord, I will definitely do my work undercover for you, and be extrely cautious, for the Third Prince has many talented individuals by his side, while we are re small players, the strength of the Third Prince's subordinates might exceed your expectations." Xu Yufang kindly reminded Lin Chen.
After all, she wished no harm to Lin Chen, because if Lin Chen were in distress, her life would also be in jeopardy.
"What is the Third Prince's cultivation level?" Lin Chen asked Xu Yufang.
"The Third Prince had already broken through to the Fourth Layer of the Creation Realm early on, after so many years, he must be even more profound and unfathomable."
"Furthermore, being born into the royal family, his foundation and ans are incomparable to us," Xu Yufang solemnly said to Lin Chen.
Hearing this, Lin Chen had a vague estimate, hoping the Third Prince had not yet reached the Late Stage of the Creation Realm.
Otherwise, Lin Chen would indeed find it difficult to contend with him.
"You may go back, act with caution and prudence in everything, you will be an important card for , should any troubleso matter arise, inform at any ti, I will send soone to assist you," Lin Chen said to Xu Yufang in a calm tone.
Hearing this, Xu Yufang trembled slightly, feeling waves of warmth, having risked her life for the Third Prince over the years, yet never receiving such concern.
"Then I shall take my leave," Xu Yufang said, then disappeared from Lin Chen's sight, flying away.
Watching Xu Yufang leave, Lin Chen did not imdiately pursue the Flying Boat of Zi Ling and Cheng Liang but found a very concealed spot, first setting up a Concealnt Formation, and then began to arrange a Teleportation Array.
Since Lin Chen had Green Crystal Stones on him, the Teleportation Array he arranged now was extrely compact, not easily noticeable, besides, there was Lin Chen's Concealnt Formation here, making it difficult for others to discover Lin Chen's Teleportation Array.
Even though Lin Chen had now arranged a Teleportation Array, allowing him to shuttle back and forth between the Mysterious Heaven Continent and Tianliu Continent with ease, he feared the Teleportation Array might be exposed, so he still tried to use the Teleportation Array of the Mysterious Heaven Continent to enter the Tianliu Continent, to minimize others' suspicions.
