Chapter 370: Chapter 370

A week has passed in the blink of an eye.

"Your Highness, the Southern King has sent a message urging you to act quickly, as time is running out."

In the room, Long Da spoke in a low voice.

"Is there any news from Changsun Tian?"

Qin Ying asked unhurriedly.

"For now... nothing!"

"Then tell him to hurry up and relay the Southern King’s words to him exactly as they are!"

On the surface, what’s necessary must still be done.

Otherwise, it’ll be hard to account for the expenses the Southern King and his people have invested.

There was a hint of suspicion in Long Da’s eyes, having a persistent feeling that recently, His Highness seemed different.

And it all changed after the last meeting with Chen Xuan.

"What exactly happened that night?"

Already outside the room, Long Da muttered to himself.

"What’s wrong, Big Brother?"

Long Er noticed his odd expression and asked immediately.

"Nothing. Oh, by the way, go tell Changsun Tian to speed up; there’s not much time left!"

He really disliked Changsun Tian, couldn’t respect him from the heart.

Hence, he wouldn’t go for such a task.

"Most annoying to see him!"

Although Long Er complained, he still went to find him.

After all, Long Da was their leader!

A higher rank can crush a person, and he’s so strong.

In the study of the Chen Mansion.

Chen Xuan, who was cultivating, suddenly opened his eyes.

"This boy... has achieved a realm breakthrough!"

A smile appeared on his face.

Then his silhouette disappeared, reappearing in Qin Ke’s room.

"Master, I’ve reached Late-Stage Immortal Grade!"

Qin Ke stood up excitedly and said.

"It’s really not easy!"

Chen Xuan said with a smile, but considering his talent, expectations couldn’t be set too high.

"I’ve embarrassed you, Master!"

Qin Ke scratched his head, a bit embarrassed.

Even with the master’s guidance, it took such a long time to cultivate to the Late-Stage Immortal Grade.

"You don’t need to feel that way, talent isn’t always everything. Just cultivate diligently!"

Chen Xuan comforted him.

"Moreover, the Nine Elements Dao Skill becomes more profound as you progress. If there are parts you can’t comprehend, feel free to ask me anytime!"

"Yes! Thank you, Master!"

Qin Ke’s expression was respectful; in his eyes, Master Chen Xuan even surpassed his own father.

"By the way, in a while, I will be going to Jiuyue Mansion with a few of your mistresses for a break, so take care of yourself!"

Chen Xuan instructed.

"Do you need me to accompany you?"

Qin Ke immediately asked.

Chen Xuan waved his hand, "Just let Liu Si accompany me; he’ll handle things well enough!"

Qin Ke nodded slightly; Liu Si was brought from Daning County by him.

He’s trustworthy, so he’s at ease.

"Oh, there’s one more thing!"

Qin Ke suddenly remembered, "Jiang Qi came looking for me."

"These past few days, I’ve felt on the verge of a realm breakthrough, so I haven’t told you, Master!"

"It seems that elder from Dark Moon Trading Company is a bit anxious!"

Chen Xuan chuckled, but he wasn’t in a hurry himself. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭·𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮·𝙣𝙚𝙩

So he said, "Just say that I’ll be studying on my own for a while, wait a bit!"

"Yes, I understand, Master!"

In fact, he had already guessed this, but out of respect for Master Chen Xuan, he naturally had to confirm.

Dark Moon Trading Company.

Jiang Yudao was no longer as confident as before, now quite anxious.

Because he had spent some time at the rMolan Mansion, and still had other places to inspect.

Couldn’t stay many more days.

Jiang Qi shrugged helplessly.

"Grandfather, I think you shouldn’t hold out much hope; such an ancient book, the person behind Qin Ke might not be willing to offer it!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yudao frowned, and even his baby-smooth skin started to show wrinkles.

After a moment, he looked at Jiang Qi, "Then what do you say we do now?"

"You should go about your duties, Grandfather. I will try to think of a solution and inform you if there’s any news!"

Jiang Yudao showed a hint of disappointment.

But by now, there was nothing else to be done.

Furthermore, Dark Moon has its own rules, inspections cannot be delayed, or the consequences would be unpleasant even for him.

He let out a long sigh; not being able to view such an ancient book felt like it would be the end of him!

Two carriages quietly left the East City Gate.

Currently, Chen Xuan was in Qin Ying’s carriage.

Looking her up and down, his eyes were full of admiration.

Wearing a pure white dress without any fancy patterns, plain yet it complemented her fair skin and delicate face.

No accessories whatsoever!

She gave off a girl-next-door vibe that made one want to protect her.

Yet there was an inadvertent aura of nobility that prevented any thoughts of disrespect.

The contrast of two feelings was extreme!

Truly a refreshing sight for Chen Xuan.

"Have you seen enough? You’ve been staring since you entered for quite a while now."

Qin Ying looked at him calmly.

Though she appeared serene on the outside, inside she felt a bit proud and pleased.

Of course, she hadn’t dressed up deliberately.

When she wasn’t visiting her father in the Imperial City, she was casually dressed .

"I didn’t expect your disguise as a man to be quite handsome, but compared to your current look, it’s far inferior!"

"Alright, I’ve accepted your flattery, you can leave now, this palace... young master needs to cultivate!"

Qin Ying’s lips curved slightly.

"Alright then, Miss Qin, happy cultivating!"

Chen Xuan said with a smile.

It was their agreement to address her as Miss Qin outside.

After all, her identity as Princess Great Yu could not be revealed.

Getting out of the carriage, Chen Xuan took a step and instantly arrived on his own carriage.
