Chu Jiaohong suddenly leaned back on the armchair and looked at the Eight Profound Heaven Formation that shrouded the courtyard. Her eyebrows were slightly puzzled and she seemed to be thinking about something.
Next to her, the tall Granny Lu had not said a word from beginning to end. She had been bowing and standing obediently next to Chu Jiaohong with her head down.
Opposite her, Elder Wei, Tang Man-ching, and Lin Xiang 'er also stood obediently. At this moment, Tang Man-ching was no longer disguised and had restored her true appearance. A delicate and beautiful face was revealed, and it looked particularly valiant in the black men's robe.
At this time.
There was a commotion outside. Elder Wei immediately sent out his spirit sense to investigate and then said softly, "Sister Hong, someone from Immortal Mansion seems to have come."
"Yes, I see. Go and deal with it."
Chu Jiaohong did not have much of a reaction to hearing that someone from Immortal Mansion had come. She said indifferently, "Also, I don't want to see any guests right now. I don't want to see anyone."
"Yes."
Elder Wei thought for a moment and then asked, "What if Immortal Mansion asks about the whereabouts of that guy surnamed Gu?"
"Just tell them the truth."
"If you tell them the truth … I'm afraid they may not believe you."
To tell the truth, if he had not seen it with his own eyes, Elder Wei would not have believed that Gu Qingfeng could quietly enter the Grand Tutor's courtyard and then leave without anyone knowing. Even if he had seen it with his own eyes, Immortal Mansion would certainly not believe him if he told them the truth.
"Whether they believe it or not is their business. It has nothing to do with me."
Elder Wei nodded to indicate that he understood. He then asked, "About his identity, should I tell them?"
"Identity? What identity? "
"He's the Childe Chiyan Gu Qingfeng."
"Are you sure he's the Childe Chiyan Gu Qingfeng?"
"This …"
Elder Wei couldn't confirm it. At least, he couldn't be 100% sure. After all, he didn't know Gu Qingfeng and had never seen him before.
"What's the point of telling others about something that you can't even confirm yourself? What's more, the Yan Luo Kingdom is already chaotic enough. The undercurrents are getting bigger and bigger. If you tell Immortal Mansion that he's the Childe Chiyan who killed dozens of Sengoku's nobles nine years ago, the Yan Luo Kingdom will definitely be in chaos in less than three days.
Elder Wei's heart skipped a beat. He didn't say anything else and immediately excused himself.
After he left, the Tang Man-ching and Lin Xiang-er seemed to have noticed that Chu Jiaohong was not in a good mood. Just as they were about to leave, Chu Jiaohong's voice sounded.
"Little Sister Man-ching, don't you have something to discuss with me today?"
Perhaps the things that happened today were so shocking to the Tang Man-ching that she forgot the purpose of her visit. Hearing Chu Jiaohong's reminder, she remembered that she came here for an important matter. But now that such a big thing had happened in the Exquisite Mountain Villa, Sister Hong was obviously not in a good mood. The Tang Man-ching didn't know whether she should speak now.
"Good Sister, if you have anything to say, just say it."
Chu Jiaohong seemed to have seen through the Tang Man-ching's heart. She smiled slightly and said, "I don't know the crippled Peng Jia, so I'm not interested in his life or death. There are people from Immortal Mansion outside, so you don't have to worry. They won't dare to cause trouble in the villa. Steward Wei is enough to deal with them."
Chu Jiaohong appeared to be a little lazy at this moment. She reclined lazily on the armchair with one hand supporting her cheek. She looked like a graceful and noble Empress, and there was a charming smile on the corner of her mouth. She said, "As for the King who caused trouble in the villa, hehe … no matter who he is, he can't escape from me. It's only a matter of time. So … if you have anything to say, just ask. I've said before, there's no need to be polite between us."
Since Sister Hong had said so, the Tang Man-ching did not hesitate and said, "Sister Hong, I'd like to ask you a few questions."
"Oh? Is that so? Okay, ask away. "
"Is the Falling Moon ruins really important to Sengoku, or is it that Sengoku is using the ruins to test our Yanluo royalty?"
"You're talking about this matter … it's a bit of both. After all, the Falling Moon ruins belong to the ruins of the Dark Period of the Ancient Era. It may contain the true history of the Dark Period. Sengoku doesn't want the events that happened during that Dark Period to be known to the world, so Sengoku will definitely take the Falling Moon ruins."
"It's not wrong to say that Sengoku is using the ruins to test your Yanluo royalty. Sengoku has always been very ambitious, and as their foundation becomes more and more stable, their ambition will only grow bigger and bigger. After learning the lesson of the Ancient Era, Sengoku of the Modern Era will completely dominate this part of the world. They don't want another King Chixiao."
Although she was mentally prepared and had guessed as much, Tang Man-ching still could not accept it when she heard Sister Hong's words. Her expression gradually became gloomy, and her eyes were filled with worry. She murmured, "If that's the case, is our Yanluo royalty doomed this time …" "Silly girl, don't be silly.
Although Sengoku is very powerful, they won't dare to openly deal with your Yanluo royalty. The reason why Sengoku of the Ancient Era was overthrown was not because of King Chixiao. Even if King Chixiao wasn't around, someone else would have appeared. In the end, it was because Sengoku acted arbitrarily and did not have the support of the people, so they brought about their own destruction. This time, they've learned their lesson and won't act arbitrarily or arbitrarily. If they wipe out your Yanluo royalty and replace it, they'll undoubtedly walk the same path as the Ancient Era. The Modern Era Sengoku is not so stupid, and the people of the Ancient Era are not so easy to deal with. Furthermore … "
Changing the topic, Chu Jiaohong said softly, "Your Yanluo royalty has been passed down for so long. How can Sengoku destroy it just because they want to? Even if you descendants are willing, your ancestors won't agree to it. "
"Ancestors?"
Tang Man-ching raised her eyebrows slightly, as if she didn't understand.
"Your Yanluo royalty has produced many outstanding people. Although some have disappeared and some have left, that's all there is to it. Whether they disappear or leave, it doesn't mean anything. Otherwise, what do you think Sengoku is testing your Yanluo royalty for?"
"Hong jie, you mean … our Yanluo royalty's ancestors are still alive? Sengoku is testing us for this reason? "
"Of course."
Hearing Chu Jiaohong's affirmative answer, Tang Man-ching was shocked. In her impression, Yanluo royalty's ancestors had long disappeared without a trace. In the past, there might have been hope, but during the ancient cataclysm, even the heavens had collapsed. Many immortals had lost their lives in the cataclysm. How many of Yanluo royalty's ancestors could survive the cataclysm?
"I don't dare to speak about the others in Yanluo royalty, but I know that there is one person in your Yanluo royalty who is still alive. She has been silently guarding Yanluo royalty. As long as she is here, your Yanluo royalty won't be in too much danger."
"Hong jie, who are you talking about?"
"Don't ask. I won't tell you even if you ask. In any case, you will naturally know when the time comes …"
