Chapter 117
The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

In the end, Manager Shang couldn’t stand it. He coughed dryly and said to Yu’er, “Don’t be afraid. We are just here to ask for an audience with Her Highness the Princess. Could you please Miss Yu’er to pass the news on to us?”

Yu’er finally released the restraining technique and said with relief: “Two father-in-laws, please wait a moment. Yu’er will go and inform Her Royal Highness the Princess.”

After saying that, she hid in Jingyang Palace as if she were on the run and went to report to Princess Ankang.

Li Xuan and Princess Ankang, who were cleaning up the chessboard inside, saw Yu’er running back at a faster speed and the panic look on her face. They couldn’t help but wonder:
“Meow?”

“Sister Yu’er, who is here?”

Yu’er took a deep breath before replying: “It’s Mr. Shang and Mr. Zhao. They came together, and Mr. Zhao’s attitude is weird.”

Yu’er said as she glanced at Li Xuan and winked.

Only the two of them know what happened last night, and they haven’t told Princess Ankang yet.

Li Xuan knew more information and just shook his head gently at Yu’er, telling her not to worry so much.

In his opinion, Jingyang Palace was at best affected this time.

Feng Zhaoyuan’s pregnancy should be the main dish.

They tidied up, and when they were ready, they invited the two managers in.

When meeting Princess Ankang, Manager Shang followed the same etiquette as before.

But Manager Zhao was different when he came here for the first time.

“This old slave sees Her Royal Highness the Princess.”

“I wish Her Royal Highness the princess good health, all the best, good luck and peace, the spirit of dragon and horse, peace and good fortune, smooth sailing, two dragons soaring, and three suns blooming…”

Manager Shang awkwardly nudged his adopted son with his elbow, who stepped on the rhythm and was about to show off his words.

Zhao Feng’s rhythm was interrupted, and he immediately looked solemn and paid homage.

“Old slave, I respectfully wish your Highness the Holy Annest!”

When Zhao Feng did this, the three little ones in Jingyang Palace panicked.

“What does this old boy want to do?”

The alarm bells in Li Xuan’s mind were ringing, and he was extremely vigilant.

Princess Ankang also hurriedly said: “Why is Mr. Zhao so polite? Please get up quickly.”

As she spoke, she winked at Yu’er repeatedly, and Yu’er quickly stepped forward to help her.

“General Manager Zhao took great care of us last time in the Royal Garden, and Ankang didn’t even have time to thank him.”

After saying that, Princess Ankang also returned the gift solemnly.

No matter what Zhao Feng’s purpose is, since the other party has done enough etiquette, Princess Ankang will naturally reciprocate the favor.

Zhao Feng was helped up by Yu’er and thanked Yu’er, which made Yu’er feel very unreal.

Everyone in the palace said that these two stewards were scary big shots, but Yu’er felt that they were just two friendly old men.

In response to this, if the countless dead souls in the hands of the two stewards knew anything about it, they could only laugh and reply: “Little girl, do you want to come down and have a look before we talk?”

Li Xuan’s expression was playful.

“Nothing to be diligent about, either a traitor or a thief!”

The only changes during this period were the snakes, insects, rats, and ants that suddenly appeared last night, and the turmoil in the palace this morning.

Although Zhao Feng had a good attitude towards them before, it was far from this level.

He was also embarrassed that the current head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was so flexible.

To say that those who can climb to this position are definitely not ordinary people.

Princess Ankang was also smart and said directly: “Two managers are here together. I wonder what the big event is?”

“Hehe, this one.”

Zhao Feng hesitated and glanced at the courtyard of Jingyang Palace.

He had seen it when he came in just now. The yard was clean and there was no trace left at all.

Only some faint stench of blood still remained.

Yesterday, Li Xuan deliberately froze all the traces, but the smell was difficult to evaporate for a while.

After all, there are such a large number of snakes, insects, rats, and ants, and it is inevitable that a lot of smell will remain when cats and cats eat.Yu’er also washed the yard in the morning, but she still couldn’t hide it from people like Zhao Feng.

“Something happened in the palace today, so I came here to see if Her Royal Highness the Princess is okay?”

“Your Highness, did you have a good rest last night?”

Zhao Feng probed.

Princess Ankang showed a blank expression and did not answer hastily. Instead, she looked at Li Xuan first, and then at Yu’er.

Li Xuan sleeps beside her every night. If there is any movement, it will not be hidden from Li Xuan.

Therefore, Princess Ankang subconsciously looked at Li Xuan first.

As a result, Li Xuan nodded slightly to himself.

At this time, Yu’er also stepped forward in time, whispered a few words into Princess Ankang’s ear, and briefly explained what happened last night.

Princess Ankang couldn’t help being surprised when she heard it. She didn’t expect that when she was sleeping soundly last night, so many uninvited guests came.

But Princess Ankang rolled her eyes and did not immediately answer Zhao Feng’s question. Instead, she asked: “Manager Zhao, Ankang wants to ask, what happened in the palace?”

Manager Shang immediately lowered his head and suppressed his laughter. Zhao Fengmian replied in a difficult tone: “There was an insect infestation in the palace, which disturbed many nobles and caused some people in the palace to panic.”

He continued to pretend that he only knew now, and then said: “It seems that Jingyang Palace has also been affected. Her Royal Highness the Princess has always been soft-skinned and weak, so she must have been quite frightened.”

Zhao Feng asked expectantly.

Under such clear instructions, Princess Ankang was dumbfounded and asked, “Does General Manager Zhao want me to be frightened? Or is he not frightened?”

“Oh, Your Highness the Princess is really joking.”

Zhao Feng’s smile at this time was not a smile, his expression was extremely wonderful.

Li Xuan also saw the clues and cursed in his heart: “It turns out it’s you, old guy.”

It’s not that Princess Ankang and Li Xuan have keen intuition, but that Zhao Feng deliberately didn’t cover it up and used an extremely clumsy attitude to hide his intentions.

This is the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Will he be a clumsy person?

She was just too embarrassed to speak directly, so she apologized in a roundabout way and lowered her attitude, hoping to make Princess Ankang feel that she was in control of the situation.

Li Xuan could only vaguely guess Zhao Feng’s intentions.

But he is able to make this kind of thing so comfortable, which is really an amazing method.

Even the thoughts that Li Xuan could guess were probably Zhao Feng’s intentions.

It simply puts people into a certain situation.

“He is good at dealing with people and the world, and he has such insight into people’s hearts.”

“There are really hidden dragons and crouching tigers in this palace.”

Now Li Xuan is something that the “30-year-old” me sneers at, while the “one-year-old” me analyzes it sentence by sentence.

He has been dealing with these fine people these days and has learned more about the ways of the world than he had in the previous 30 years combined.

Seeing that both sides were laughing, and the atmosphere was relaxed, Manager Shang interrupted at the right time: “Feng’er, don’t go around in circles with Her Royal Highness, and kneel down immediately to apologize.”

Manager Shang rarely addressed Zhao Feng like this in front of outsiders. Outside, he always gave the adopted son face, but now he said it like this for the first time.

Zhao Feng did not hesitate, knelt down immediately, bowed his head and apologized.

“This old slave is guilty, please punish me severely, Princess!”

Zhao Feng’s tone is spot on, with a mix of hatred for himself and shame and anger that he regrets, and his gently quivering cry is the finishing touch.

Just kneeling like this, the difference in level was immediately revealed.

The three little ones were stunned for a moment, thinking at the same time:

“So professional!”

Thanks to “Guitang” and “Mujie” for their reward support.

Thank you for your monthly ticket support.

It will be on the shelves the day after tomorrow, what should I do if I haven’t deposited it yet?
Wait online, hurry!

(End of this chapter)

Chaotic place.

Delimen.

“I told you not to be reckless. Now we’re being attacked because of your greed for a little something.”

Chen Muli looked helpless, worried as he watched the rotating formation in front of him.

“We’re running out of energy, and Xingxing is heavily injured. If no one comes from home, we’ll have to stay here.”

Chen Muli’s face turned serious as he looked at Chen Xingxing, who was leaning against a stone, recovering from his injuries while eating a pill.

Chen Chude’s face twitched, his gaze shifting sideways to Chen Muli.

“Um… Do you still have any spirit stones?”

“You’ve spent them all?” Chen Muli was speechless, looking pained and regretful.

“Look at what we gained from coming here. It’s not even worth the energy we’ve consumed in the past few hours. How short-sighted!”

“Can we escape?” Chen Xingxing spat out blood, his momentum somewhat weakened.

“Zengzu has taught you his supreme footwork and formation skills. There must be some way.”

“It’s difficult. I can only take one person with me.” Chen Chude sighed, his gaze lingering on the two of them.

His escape technique was unparalleled, but his strength was lacking, and the opponent was a Gold Core cultivator.

It would be good enough if he could take one person with him.

Chen Muli hesitated, looking at the formation outside that was being bombarded and on the verge of collapse.

“Take Xingxing with you. My escape technique is not bad…”

Chen Chude looked at him with surprise. Chen Muli, who was usually so afraid of death, actually had this side to him?

“Alright.” But now was not the time to hesitate. Chen Chude decisively nodded, grabbing Chen Xingxing and retreating towards the edge of the formation.

“The formation can probably hold for a few more breaths. I’ll count to three, and then I’ll directly deactivate the formation and escape together.”

“Three!” Chen Chude shouted loudly, and the formation disappeared instantly.

The opponent’s Gold Core cultivator’s spiritual power was instantly depleted, momentarily stunned.

“Golden Light Escape!”

Chen Chude formed a hand seal with one hand, carrying Chen Xingxing as they turned into a stream of light and disappeared.

“That fatso!” Chen Muli was speechless, counting three like a madman.

“Jade Purification Bottle, Wood Spirit Escape Technique!”

Chen Muli celebrated, taking out a small jade bottle from his pocket and sprinkling a few drops of translucent liquid.

Instantly, the ground vegetation surged, countless towering trees appearing out of thin air.

Vine-like branches, resembling claws, surrounded the Gold Core cultivator.

“Escape!” Chen Muli shouted lightly, a blue talisman paper instantly igniting.

His whole person turned into an arrow and shot outwards.

From then on, Delimen did not open its doors widely, but recruited talents extensively.

The two founders fled in different directions.

The Gold Core cultivator saw Chen Muli escaping and immediately became furious.

A long sword flew under his feet, and he leaped onto it, turning into a stream of light as he chased after Chen Muli.

The two chased and fled, gradually closing the distance between them.

Chen Muli’s face was covered in cold sweat as he gritted his teeth and ran frantically forward.

The Great Chu territory was only a hundred miles ahead. As long as he entered the territory, he would be safe.

Fifty miles away from the border city of Great Chu, Chu Mo City.

Chen Muli risked his life, using all kinds of spiritual talismans and precious pills.

“We’re almost there. As long as I enter the city, I’ll be alive.”

He felt fortunate that when he and Chen Chude chose the location, it wasn’t far from Great Chu.

Otherwise, even if he ran until he died, he wouldn’t be able to come back.

Behind him, the Gold Core cultivator’s face was filled with anger, continuously using his spiritual power to attack, intending to slow down the distance between them.

If a mere Foundation Building cultivator escaped from his hands, it would be a great loss of face.

“Old man, when I go back, I will definitely destroy your Kaimen!”

Chen Muli was filled with anger. Was it easy for him?

He had never experienced such excitement in his life.

“Fatso, next time I come out with you, I’ll be a dog!”

Chen Muli cursed angrily a few times, but he couldn’t blame anyone else too much.

“I hope the strong ones at home have received my distress signal, otherwise I’ll be buried in the Hall of Heroes.”

Chen Muli didn’t dare to look back, and he ran away quickly.

Occasionally, he would throw a few darts towards the back.

In the chaotic realm, there were three hundred major sects.

The territorial area was no smaller than the Southern Region. If he could expand it, he would be the number one contributor.

Unfortunately, unfortunately.

Thinking of this, Chen Muli felt bitter and resentful. Why did he believe that fatso’s words back then?

To sneak attack, to deceive, to mess with other people’s spiritual repositories.

Now it’s all messed up.

“Chaotic Spirit!”

He shouted lightly, and the ground he ran past was covered with thorns, dancing in chaos.

For a while, it slowed down the pursuit of the Gold Core from the Keimen sect.

Just when Chen Muli was pleased with himself for delaying the opponent’s footsteps,

When he looked ahead again, his face suddenly stiffened.

A group of cultivators dressed in Keimen attire blocked his path.

The Gold Core from behind also crossed the thorny jungle and could give him a fatal blow in less than ten breaths.

“I didn’t originally want to kill anyone!”

“Those who block me shall die!”

Chen Muli shouted explosively, his long sword danced, and a sword pierced through the nearest cultivator.

Although the cultivators in front were stunned for a moment, they quickly reacted and rushed forward to intercept.

The power of law flickered on Chen Muli’s long sword, terrifyingly powerful, and he was about to strike with his sword.

Seeing this, the opponents didn’t dare to be careless and fought back one after another.

Little did they know, Chen Muli’s footsteps paused, and a yellow light flashed on his body.

He sank into the ground, bypassed them by breaking through the soil, and continued to sprint.

The flying swords under his feet were almost smoking.

Suddenly, another person appeared to block his way. Chen Muli shouted loudly, the light on his long sword intensified, and his whole body erupted with power. It seemed like he was willing to exchange his life for theirs.

Suddenly, Chen Muli changed direction and flew away from a small hillside.

“Huh?”

“Chase him! Don’t let him enter the city!”

The cultivators from behind shouted, and the powerful Gold Core cultivator flew towards him with a fierce expression.

“You destroyed our sect’s treasure vault and killed our disciple, and you still want to run away!”

Chen Muli had no intention of talking, and his magical power was somewhat depleted.

His divine sense swept over, and dozens of cultivators followed behind the Gold Core cultivator, chasing him madly.

He felt his liver and gallbladder about to burst, and his blood and qi began to burn as he increased his speed again.

“Why is this kid running faster and faster?”

Someone was speechless, watching Chen Muli getting farther and farther away, gritting their teeth and cursing a few times.

Chen Muli was in a sorry state, and his magical power was about to be exhausted.

Suddenly, he saw a surge of blood and a redness imprinted on the horizon ahead.

Immediately, he was overjoyed.

He turned his head and gave the chasing cultivators a fierce look, and angrily said:

“Today, I, Chen Muli, will fight you for three hundred rounds. Now I am indeed exhausted, and you still want to rely on numbers to try to kill me. It is truly shameful!”

“I, Chen Muli, am not weaker than any of you!”

Chen Muli spoke with great righteousness, leaving the opponents stunned.

“Kill him, there’s a strong one coming ahead.”

A Gold Core cultivator from the Keimen sect appeared in front of Chen Muli, and he was about to slap him.

Chen Muli remained unmoved and activated his most powerful summoning technique.

“Grandpa Chuwu, save me!”
