Chapter 758 - 714: The Number One Sect—Qianye Sect (Part 2)
Chapter 758: Chapter 714: The Number One Sect—Qianye Sect (Part 2)
The Qianye Sect on the Yellow Dragon Continent, who in this world does not know of its might?
The Yellow Dragon Continent is already a gathering place for top sects, but within it, the Qianye Sect undeniably holds the top position.
In other words, the Qianye Sect is the most powerful sect in this world.
How could an entity that even the great nations dare not provoke come to Prince Cheng’s Mansion...
And this is just the first meeting, and four guards of the mansion were killed immediately.
Thinking of these matters, Prince Cheng already sensed something was amiss.
Sitting on the chair, he began calculating in his mind.
Yellow Dragon Continent, Lu Family Courtyard...
In his deliberations, Prince Cheng felt that he seemed to have grasped the core of the problem.
It is said that Mo Wanshui hailed from Luodao Valley, which is indeed a sect on the Yellow Dragon Continent.
This Lu Yao, could she be related to Mo Wanshui?
If this is really the case, then this Lu Yao is targeting Shen Han.
Mo Wanshui’s current downfall is believed by many to be heavily influenced by the blow Shen Han dealt him in their duel.
Moreover, after his loss in the competition, the Cangye Kingdom’s attitude toward Mo Wanshui became very indifferent...
Prince Cheng’s face turned severe, now he had no time to worry about Shen Han.
He needed to first consider himself, the Prince Cheng’s Mansion, and the Cangye country.
It was about 7:45 AM when he sent a message.
By at most 3:00 PM, the Sovereign of Cangye and the National Preceptor should arrive.
This matter might already be beyond his authority as a prince.
Hesitating, Prince Cheng called his steward into the study.
He told the steward what the Sovereign of Cangye had said, along with his own suspicions.
"Your Highness is now troubled about whether to disclose this information to Mr. Shen, correct?"
Hearing his prince’s words, the steward immediately guessed the reason.
"Indeed, in theory, I should explain these matters to Mr. Shen.
It’s just..."
Prince Cheng paused, not continuing his sentence.
Some things, once said, would seem undignified.
The steward already guessed what was on his prince’s mind from that "just".
Shen Han helped Cangye achieve first place in the tournament.
Logically, the people of Cangye should be grateful.
But in facing a crisis now, priorities must be given to the mansion and the interests of Cangye.
"Your Highness, if you tell Mr. Shen about this, he will surely flee.
But Lu Yao is the wife of the Sect Leader of Qianye Sect. If she is incensed, where could we, Cangye, stand against it?"
Seeing Prince Cheng frowning slightly, the steward knew he needed to offer some consoling words.
"Mr. Shen indeed has been kind to us in Cangye, and with such assistance, we ought to remember him and help him.
But Prince, if due to our issues, Mr. Shen ends up fleeing.
If Lu Yao arrives and holds our Cangye accountable.
It is highly likely that all of our country’s people will suffer for this!
Though we are grateful to Mr. Shen, this concerns the lives and livelihoods of our people.
When weighing the two, should we abandon the people of Cangye?"
With this daunting notion, Prince Cheng finally found a way out.
"That is true; the lives and livelihoods of a nation’s people are not something we can gamble with.
Mr. Shen will have to endure the grievances..."
The Qianye Sect has acted, and Prince Cheng has already lost interest in speculating about Shen Han’s identity.
Right now, Qianye Sect is unarguably the foremost sect.
Regardless of Shen Han’s identity or background, Qianye Sect does not care, and neither does Lu Yao.
In the study, Prince Cheng had already made up his mind.
The wait felt unbearably long for Prince Cheng.
Before 3:00 PM, the Sovereign of Cangye and his entourage arrived.
Behind him, he brought the Cangye National Preceptor and that mysterious Tributor.
Upon seeing the visitors, everyone at Prince Cheng’s Mansion promptly knelt to welcome them.
However, the Sovereign of Cangye did not even have the mood to exchange pleasantries with them.
"Where is Fairy Lu Yao, has there been any conflict?"
The Sovereign of Cangye’s greatest concern at that moment was this.
"That Fairy has not yet arrived at the mansion, she should be here shortly.
As for conflicts, there doesn’t seem to be any."
"That’s good, immediately prepare the best tea possible, no matter what, we must present a proper attitude first."
Prince Cheng thought he was already worried enough, but he did not expect the Sovereign of Cangye to seem even more fearful.
The servants of the mansion promptly went to prepare, bringing forth all the treasured teas.
Late afternoon, Lu Yao and her maid, Ping’er, leisurely arrived.
"Honored visit from Fairy Lu, forgive us for any neglect, and please excuse us."
Upon seeing the two, the high and mighty mysterious Tributor was the first to bow in greeting.
His words carried a hint of reverence, or one might even say flattery.
Behind him, seeing the Tributor’s attitude, others also bent over.
Even the Sovereign of Cangye had lost his regal pride.
In front of the Lady of the Qianye Sect, none of them were worth mentioning.
Prince Cheng harbored a bit of thankfulness inside.
Had he informed Shen Han, and Shen Han ran away, he might not even have been able to save his own life.
Seeing everyone bowing to her, Lu Yao was accustomed to it.
Not to mention these people before her, even people of the Qianye Sect must salute when they see her.
"Your aura seems somewhat familiar."
Lu Yao looked at the Cangye Tributor, and inquired.
"I was once an observer at the Qianye Sect fifteen years ago, having studied some of their cultivation techniques.
The achievements I have today are thanks to the guidance of the Qianye Sect."
Lu Yao nodded but did not continue the conversation.
Then she sat on the side, poured herself a cup of tea.
"I wonder, what brings Fairy Lu to Cangye? Now as a tributor to Cangye, if you need anything within our borders, I can provide assistance."
On the side, the Sovereign of Cangye’s expression didn’t look good - the tributor spoke before the sovereign could even speak.
"Mo Wanshui is from Luodao Valley, he and I grew up together, we have been friends for years.
You must have heard what state he’s ended up in now.
I am here today seeking someone named Shen Han.
I heard that Wanshui was humiliated by this person, and since then, his mindset has been disturbed.
I’ve come to find this person to help resolve Wanshui’s dilemma."
Beside her, Prince Cheng was already sweating profusely, just as he suspected, Lu Yao had indeed come for Shen Han.
"I heard that day, people from your Cangye Nation were also being opportunistic, is that so?"
With Lu Yao’s quiet question, Prince Cheng’s body trembled slightly, his complexion instantly turned pale.
This sentence blatantly blamed people of Cangye Nation.
"Never mind, for now, let’s not mention your matters.
I suppose Wanshui doesn’t care how you apologize.
First, let’s go see this Shen Han, I also want to see what kind of extraordinary person he is."
Upon hearing this, the Sovereign of Cangye immediately turned his head, looking at Prince Cheng.
Prince Cheng quickly bowed and responded, "I will go find him now, please be patient..."
"No need, you lead us there.
I’m not interested in waiting here any longer."
Lu Yao’s words left no room for negotiation.
Upon hearing her words, Prince Cheng was made to lead the way.
Others from Cangye had a hint of tension on their faces.
Currently, everyone felt a bit nervous and worried.
Especially those who had gone to Lin City before, many had ridiculed Mo Wanshui.
Previously, Mo Wanshui was indeed too pretentious.
Watching him get humiliated, others felt a sense of justified revenge.
But now, recalling their actions from that day, everyone felt a bit regretful.
Nobody thought Mo Wanshui would have such a formidable background.
The various servants and retainers witnessed the scene trembling inwardly.
The once-respected Prince Cheng was now stooped and humble.
Lu Yao spoke a word and he didn’t even have the right to respond.
They wouldn’t dare provoke Prince Cheng, let alone Lu Yao before them.
But for now, the trouble had not fallen upon these minor figures.
Lu Yao was on her way to find Shen Han, and Shen Han seemed to be in grave danger.
In fact, for the servants of the mansion, they thought Shen Han was actually quite good.
Friendly and easy to talk to, with no bizarre requests.
He was not lecherous or bullying.
Shen Han was the most approachable among the powerful people they served.
But now, looking at the current situation...
