Feng Wu was overjoyed. She pulled Luo Zilin closer. "What's the situation now? Tell me."
Luo Zilin nodded. "That's what I wanted to tell you."
"Even though the Heavenly Yan Royal Family is on the decline, they are still quite powerful."
"Princess Royal and Prince Yan are staunch supporters of the royal family."
"Apart from them, the Primeval Tower, Formless Blade Sect, Red Plume Mansion, Shanhai Academy, Murong family, Medicine God Valley Sect, Luo family, and Mu Temple are all neutral and do not want to get involved."
"Of course, that was the situation before. Now, Princess Royal is trying to rope in other powers. As far as we know, the Primeval Tower has already been roped in."
"And according to the latest news, the Murong family and the royal family have been very close recently. They seem to be planning a marriage alliance."
"If the Murong family agrees to the marriage alliance, then their alliance will be formed. This is not good for the other families."
Feng Wu asked, "The royal family and the Murong family are connected by marriage. Didn't the eldest princess divorce the Murong family? How can the Murong family still have the guts to marry the royal family after suffering such a huge loss? "
Luo Zilin said, "Rather than a divorce, it's more like Murong Changan died of illness. After his death, the princess married someone else. That makes sense."
Feng Wu asked, "Did Murong Changan die of natural causes?"
Luo Zilin smiled. "You've asked the same question as everyone else."
Feng Wu asked, "So?"
Luo Zilin said, "Murong Changan was a cultivation genius of the Murong family. Since he died like that, the Murong family would naturally send someone to verify it. But in the end, this matter passed without a trace. They did not find any evidence against Princess Royal."
Feng Wu rested her chin on her hands and sighed regretfully.
"So, who is this marriage alliance?"
Luo Zilin said, "His Majesty's eldest daughter, Princess Xuezhen, and Murong Linan of the Murong family."
Feng Wu was curious. "Murong Linan? What's his relationship with that Murong Linhai I met on the road to the imperial court? "
Luo Zilin said, "Murong Linan is from the same batch as me and Yan Yu. He is Murong Linhai's elder brother. This Murong Linan's strength cannot be underestimated. Even I may not be his opponent."
Luo Zilin replied seriously, "Once the Murong family and the Imperial family are united by marriage, it would mean that the Imperial family has roped in another powerful force. Then, we, the neutral faction, would become more and more passive."
Feng Wu could imagine that the Luo family would have a hard time if the royal family was able to consolidate power again. And she was a member of the Luo family now.
Feng Wu asked, "What about the other forces? Are we just going to let them marry each other and form alliances?"
Luo Zilin said, "The main reason is that no one on the opposition side is willing to stand up. Originally, Mu Shenmu Temple was no weaker than the royal family. However, Lord Mu Jiuzhou has been missing all these years, and Mu Shenmu Temple has been in hiding. Without a leader, the royal family has become stronger and stronger."
Mu Jiuzhou? Her beautiful master?
Feng Wu already had the first broken star piece, and the second one was at the last hurdle. As for the third one … it was said to be with her third senior brother, but Feng Wu had no idea where the fourth one was.
"Do you know about the broken star piece?" Luo Zilin suddenly asked Feng Wu.
Feng Wu stared at the man in surprise.
Could this person read minds?
Luo Zilin asked her the question as soon as she thought about the broken star piece.
Feng Wu asked, "You … know about the broken star piece?!"
Luo Zilin said grumpily, "Everyone in Dayan knows about the broken star piece. They just can't get it. But this time, there's a chance — "
Feng Wu asked anxiously, "What chance?"
Luo Zilin said, "The Dragon Gate Banquet in three months. On that day, the royal family will present the broken star piece as a reward for the winner of the Dragon Gate Banquet.
"The engagement party between Princess Wang and Murong Linan will be held after the Dragon Gate Banquet.
Luo Zilin said, "The broken star piece is a great treasure. It's said that it's a fragment of Mu Jiuzhou's soul. With this broken star piece, one can comprehend Mu Jiuzhou's soul. If they're lucky, they can inherit Lord Mu Jiuzhou's legacy …"
Feng Wu was even more excited than Luo Zilin.
She had no idea where the fourth broken star piece was, but now that she knew that it would appear in three months, she was relieved.
It was good that she knew where it was. She didn't want to run around like a headless fly.
"I want this debris of the stars." Feng Wu stared at Luo Zilin seriously, and enunciated each word seriously.
"Ahem —" Luo Zilin choked on his tea. He stared at Feng Wu and asked, "What did you say?"
Feng Wu said, "I want that broken star piece. I have to get it."
"Hey, no, I say, you little girl, don't tell me you're having a hysterical episode? Do you know what the Dragon Gate Banquet is? This Dragon Gate Banquet is the venue for me, Murong Linan, and Yan Yu's batch of cultivators to compete. You are still young, so you have to participate in the next Dragon Gate Banquet. "
Feng Wu said, "No, I'm going to the Dragon Gate Banquet this year! And I'm going to get that broken star piece! "
Luo Zilin rubbed his forehead. He thought it was something new, but he didn't expect her to be so excited.
Luo Zilin asked, "Do you know what the Dragon Gate Banquet is? You said you have to be the winner?"
Feng Wu said, "I'd love to hear the details."
