As the host, the Eighth Prince was absent-minded. He felt a little uneasy for some reason. He and Mr. Hu had not seen each other since they separated at the dock.
He had sent guards to look for him but there was no one there. At this moment, the guards were searching everywhere, but they still hadn't found anyone. Anxiously, he would ask his servants from time to time.
At this time, a young man frowned slightly, stared at the Eighth Prince across from him, and said with some displeasure: "Eighth Prince, you seem to be distracted all the time, but what happened?"
I saw that he had a majestic body, a majestic appearance, a pair of eyes that shot up to the cold stars, and two curved eyebrows as thick as paint. His words were majestic, and he exuded an ambition that could reach thousands of feet.
Even a suit of black clothes can't hide his outstanding heroic appearance, and he is born with the aura of a king who dominates the world. He is the young patriarch of the Si family and a disciple of the Tiangong Sect. His single name is Qi.
He is only twenty-six years old now, and he has already become a master of weapon refining. He can refine all spiritual weapons below the Lingzong level. His own cultivation level is also at the eighth level of the Great Spiritual Master.
Considered a peerless genius of the Tiangong Sect, he is the second disciple after the current sect master who is expected to break through to the realm of the Spiritual King within a hundred years.
The Eighth Prince quickly retracted his thoughts, raised his glass, and said, "I feel a little sad, so I neglected Brother Si Qi. I'll punish myself with a drink first."
After saying that, he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp. A man beside him quickly picked up the wine bottle and filled the glass with a smile.
After hearing this, Si Qi's brows relaxed a little, and he said slowly: "It doesn't matter, tell me what you have to say, brothers, please listen."
Everyone else at the table also echoed, "As Brother Si Qi is here, please tell me if you have any difficulty, Eighth Prince."
The Eighth Prince pondered for a while and then said: "Since brothers are asking, I will tell you the truth. There was something happened at the dock before, and I, Mr. Hu, stayed to deal with it, but I never came back, so I feel a little worried."
Si Qi suddenly became interested and asked curiously, "Oh, why don't we talk about something that makes Mr. Hu find it difficult?"
The Eighth Prince slowly recounted what happened at the dock. Everyone frowned after hearing this. They looked at Ji Rushuang and saw that she was calmly chatting with her classmates as if nothing had happened.
In fact, Ji Rushuang heard everything they said, but she didn't want to say anything. The strength of their Ji family was not much weaker than that of the royal family itself.
Her own talent is not inferior to that of the Eighth Prince, so she is not too satisfied with the Eighth Prince and has always wanted to find a better partner.
Many people around her know her attitude, but the other party has been pursuing her unremittingly.
The people accompanying him at the banquet began to talk one after another at this moment.
"With Hu Lao Lingzong's cultivation, there must be other things that have delayed him, and it is impossible for him to disappear silently."
"That's not necessarily true. Most of them come to Tiangong Sect to sign up at this time. Those who are confident can't be underestimated, and they still can't act rashly."
"That's true. There are many hidden families, and who knows when they will run into each other. That year, the Sun family accidentally offended an inconspicuous boy, and as a result, the whole family was almost wiped out."
"It's not advisable to take action clearly. We can do it secretly. Anyway, Brother Si Qi is here. If he really goes to Tiangong Sect, let him know what regret means."
"With Brother Si Qi here, that kid will have to lie down even if he is a dragon..."
Then everyone started to praise Si Qi...
Si Qi was enjoying listening to it, and soon he expressed his opinion, saying: "Since brothers can appreciate it, you can ask for good news and tell me, so that I can prepare in advance..."
The Eighth Prince stood up, raised his glass again, and drank it all in one gulp. "This will relieve the hatred in my heart. I'll bother you, Brother Si Qi. I will definitely thank you very much afterwards..."
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Ji Rushuang intentionally or unintentionally, thinking that he would arrange for someone to go to the Red Moon Inn to inquire about the news, and then take the opportunity to cause some trouble.
The next day, Ji Rushuang disguised herself, wearing a black burqa, covering her figure and face, and quietly found the Red Moon Inn, which surprised Hu Yicheng.
But Yan Liang was not seen. Yue'er took him out shopping early in the morning. At this moment, the two of them had no idea where they were.
Ji Rushuang and Hu Yicheng chatted for a while and got a lot of information they wanted to know, but these were not secrets and would be known to others sooner or later.
After hearing this, she was still overjoyed and told him directly about the Eighth Prince's plan, and asked him to tell Yan Liang to be careful.
Despite Hu Yicheng's efforts to persuade her to stay, she left quickly and said that she would come again in the future, which made him full of expectations.
In the evening, Yan Liang and Yue'er returned to the Red Moon Inn. They spent the whole day shopping and got a little understanding of Shang Tian City.
After Yanliang heard Ji Rushuang's message, he was not surprised. The royal family was backed by Tiangong Sect and many other forces, so they must have had a lot of contacts with them.
When he first arrived, it was not easy to find someone to make things difficult for him, but he was still full of confidence in himself.
He thought that when the higher-ups knew about his strength, he didn't believe that the other party could still stop him, and the royal family was beyond his control as a prince, and he didn't want to go against the royal family.
After that, he began to practice with all his strength, wanting to improve some spiritual power. This was his only weakness at the moment, and he was afraid that the other party would take advantage of it.
In addition, you have to prepare for the worst and not place all your hopes on Tiangong Sect. In addition, if you want to establish a sect in the shortest possible time, you have to find someone to cooperate with you.
Now that I have just arrived here, I am not very clear about the various forces in the city. I already have a few backup candidates in mind. I will wait for a while to learn more about them before making a detailed selection.
At the same time, we will observe and see if there is a more suitable candidate. This kind of thing cannot be rushed. You must be sure to take the initiative to show your strength, otherwise you will be afraid of causing trouble.
In the following time, undercurrents began to surge in Shangtian City, and many outsiders and forces appeared. More troops were deployed in the imperial city to patrol the streets.
An unknown force also came to the Red Moon Inn looking for trouble, but it was just a small fight, and the unity of the civilian area failed to give them any advantage. After a few times, they did not come back.
However, Ji Rushuang came several times in a row. Each time Yan Liang was practicing in seclusion and was not able to see her even once, which made Hu Yicheng extremely happy.
Late at night a few days later, Yan Liang left the inn and fled toward the palace dozens of miles away. Soon he entered a remote palace.
In the palace, there was an old father-in-law named Nie Cheng. He was lying on the bed at the moment, his face was pale, he was panting, and there was a yin energy surrounding his body. He was not long dead.
