Chapter 965: Chapter 536: Mother Consort, You Wouldn’t Want to… (Monthly Ticket Request)
The cultivation was quite low, and there were already faint wrinkles at the corners of her eyes.
“Mother, why worry? As far as your son knows, Chen Yuan prefers older people. Perhaps he was already enamored when he first saw you.”
Sima Ke continued to brainwash.
“The first time…”
Noble Consort Yang recalled the first time she met Chen Yuan. Although he contradicted her then, she couldn’t detect any emotion on his face.
All there was, was indifference.
Frowning slightly, she softly asked:
“Really?”
“That’s certainly the case.”
“Then I…”
“Mother, you wouldn’t want your child to lose the Crown Prince’s position, would you?”
Sima Ke continued to pile on.
“I…”
“In your child’s opinion, the Green Envoy will soon be transferred back to the Capital. At that time…”
“But… what about His Majesty?”
Noble Consort Yang pursed her lips, still somewhat hesitant.
The last time could be overlooked, but if discovered, they would truly be doomed.
Not even exterminating the nine generations would be excessive.
“Mother, rest assured. With your child here, Father won’t perceive anything.”
“Really?”
…
…..
“Really!”
Cao Zhengxian said solemnly:
“This has already been thoroughly investigated by the old minister; Chen Yuan indeed revived from death, even breaking through the Yang Transformation Realm in the process.”
The news of Chen Yuan’s breakthrough in Yang Transformation had already spread throughout Divine Capital City, but Jingtai still sent someone to further investigate, and now it was their report.
“Is it because of Wudang Mountain?”
There was a hint of apprehension in Jingtai’s eyes.
“Although it’s currently cryptic, the old minister believes it to be so. Wei Jinfeng must have paid a great price to beg Wudang Mountain to use their reserves for resurrection.”
“Wudang Mountain….”
Jingtai murmured to himself.
This is a considerable force, one of the ten great Immortal Sects of the time, extremely powerful and rich in heritage; even the court prefers not to offend them.
Because Sima Family ancestors once said that within Wudang Mountain lies the imprint of the Great Emperor Zhenwu. Even if no immortals preside over this generation, it’s not that simple.
“Since Chen Yuan has already broken through, then decree to summon him back to the Capital in a few days. Leaving him in Liangzhou would only allow Wei Jinfeng to draw him in.”
Jingtai whispered.
He felt unusually uneasy when bringing up Chen Yuan today, as if the boy was slipping out of his control.
But even so, such an extraordinary talent cannot remain in Liangzhou.
At worst, after recalling him to the Capital, he would slowly be sharpened into a weapon in his hands.
If necessary, sacrifices wouldn’t be unacceptable.
“Yes, the old minister obeys.”
Cao Zhengxian responded promptly.
He was feeling quite irritated; the Heavenly Patrol Bureau had gained another Yang Transformation, further weakening the Imperial Supervision Bureau’s authority. That damn fellow, why won’t he just die?
“You may leave.”
“The old minister takes his leave.”
Watching Cao Zhengxian’s departing silhouette, Jingtai’s brow slightly furrowed. Where exactly has the trouble arisen? He rarely feels such ‘sudden inspiration.’
This Chen Yuan, could he have done something to wrong him?
Humph!
No matter his talent, he remains a dog of the Sima Family, and a dog must listen.
If it does not obey, keeping it would be pointless.
“Chen Yuan…..”
…..
…..
“Hmm?”
Chen Yuan slowly turned around, looking behind him.
Zuo Chengzong was calling his name.
After a few days of rest, Chen Yuan saw that the news of his resurrection had spread enough, and thus did not plan to remain at Wudang Mountain.
Moluo and the old Heavenly Master’s discussion had concluded.
He wasn’t sure what ‘Dao’ they discussed, but upon return, Moluo fell silent, instructing him to focus on healing during this period.
Alongside Chen Yuan, he wasn’t healing fast enough to outpace the worsening of his injuries.
It had to intensify.
They wouldn’t have much time.
Seeing Moluo cultivating, Chen Yuan refrained from disturbing, soon proposing his farewell, while thinking of asking someone to inform Zuo Chengzong, only to find himself sent off personally.
“Wishing Brother Chen a safe journey this time.”
Zuo Chengzong didn’t engage in much pleasantry, merely smiling and cupping his fists.
Everything was said without words.
Chen Yuan raised his fists, nodding:
“Thank you, Brother Zuo, we’ll gather again someday.”
“Good.”
Zuo Chengzong replied concisely.
What needed to be said was already expressed in previous days; their interests aligned, leaving nothing more to discuss. Watching Chen Yuan’s departing figure.
Zuo Chengzong smiled a bit and then prepared to return for closed cultivation.
Last time, upon awakening the Emperor’s Illusion of Zhenwu, he couldn’t suppress the pull in his body any longer; it’s crucial to refine all the spiritual charm within the True Martial Sword, otherwise advancement would be challenging.
After bidding farewell to Zuo Chengzong, Chen Yuan headed straight for Liangzhou City, having already released news of his return, curious about who would dare step forward seeking death.
He might as well elevate his prestige along the way.
But he was clearly overthinking; the more openly he acted, the more those who held enmity towards him dared not rashly move. Who knew if they’d be ambushed?
Thus, all the way, Chen Yuan remained very calm.
So calm, it was almost excessive.
However, things changed upon reaching Liangzhou City; he was greeted by a dense crowd of citizens, having heard of Chen Yuan’s return, and had voluntarily come to welcome him.
As many as nearly ten thousand people.
“Green Envoy Chen!”
“Green Envoy Chen!”
“Green Envoy Chen….”
Initially one voice, then the whole city erupted in cheers, and this day within Liangzhou City was filled with the name of Chen Yuan.
Princely Heir Wei Wuque stepped onto the void one step at a time, sizing up Chen Yuan, seeing the terrifying aura emanating from him, happy for him inwardly.
He had finally overcome the life-and-death crisis.
Then, cupping his hands with a smile:
“Congratulations Brother Chen on breaking through Yang Transformation, now to enjoy hundreds of years of lifespan.”
The two exchanged a glance, with Chen Yuan stepping forward gradually, looking at Wei Wuque and softly asking:
“Did Brother Zuo say, that day you were telling everyone I was dead?”
