”I'm here to apologize on behalf of Brother Long Hai. He has been fond of Xue Rou since he was young. Today, seeing your actions being intimate, he was unable to control himself. Don't be angry at him.”

Huangfu Shaojie said with an apologetic smile.

Lanyu took out the Cosmic Jade and carefully examined it. On it was carved the words' Skycloud '. Presumably, this was the symbol of the Empire of Tianyun's identity as the second prince.

”Did His Highness ask for the Qiankun jade for him?” Lanyu smiled.

Huangfu Shaojie shook his head and said, ”Brother Lanyu, where are your words coming from? Brother Dragon Hai has already lost to you. This is a wager, how can you ask for it back?”

”When the Prince's Palace came to look for me, they probably didn't just simply apologize, right?”

Lan Yu didn't want to be polite with Huangfu Shaojie and went straight to the point.

”Satisfying!”

Huangfu Shaojie tapped the table and laughed.

”Brother Lanyu, I've come to find you because I want to become friends with you.” Huangfu Shajie looked at Lanyu and said sincerely.

”Your Highness is too polite, aren't we just friends now?”

Lan Yu smiled. He had already guessed Huangfu Shaojie's intention to show goodwill.

In order to be able to ascend to the throne in the future, in order to consolidate his power, he would usually recruit people loyal to him. Naturally, the royal family of the Unpolished Jade Empire was no exception.

”That girl Xue Rou has been very close to me since she was young. I'll always stand up for her in everything that happens, and right now, her relationship with you is also very good. If that's the case, from today onwards, we will be on the same boat.

The Sovereign King was ruthless, and the Prince was unrighteous. He naturally wouldn't believe the words of a so-called boat, but right now, his strength was still too weak. If he could use this boat together with Huangfu Shaojie, then he would be able to obtain a lot of benefits.

”Your Imperial Highness, I have a request.”

Lanyu thought for a moment and then said.

”He's really rude!” Huangfu Shaojie sneered in his heart, but his expression remained unchanged. He pretended to ask, ”Brother Lanyu, what is it? Please speak.”

”Right now, the Qi Family is useless against the royal family right? ”Since that's the case, then I don't think there's any need for the Qi Family to continue existing here.”

Lanyu said. He was only greeting Huangfu Shaojie, he didn't expect that the Royal Family would help him clean up the Qi Family.

Brother Lanyu, no matter what you say, the Qi Family is still one of the top families in the Imperial City, and they have made a huge contribution to the economy of the Imperial City. I know you have enmity with the Qi Family, but there is no justification for it.

Huangfu Shaojie was at a loss for what to do. He didn't think that the first request that Lanyu would ask of him would be this troublesome.

The Qi Family had the Blood Dragon Pavilion, and assassins covered almost the entire unpolished jade empire. Although Qi Tailong had been crippled, his skinny body was still bigger than a horse, and if the royal family wanted to deal with the Qi Family, they would have to pay a large price. Huangfu Shaojie didn't think that Lanyu was of value to him for him to use his supreme authority.

”Your Highness, don't worry. There are some matters that I will handle by myself. When that happens, your imperial clan will only need to open and close one eye.”

Lanyu said in a deep voice.

”Good!” As long as you don't cause too much of a commotion, my royal family will pretend not to have seen it. ” Huangfu Shaojie looked at Lanyu and discovered that he couldn't see through him. He couldn't figure out how Lanyu was going to deal with the Qi Family. At the same time, he did not think that Lanyu had the power to pull the Qi family out of the Imperial City. And because of some reasons, the royal family had already given up on working with the Qi Family. Lanyu could go and get rid of the Qi Family whenever she wanted, and sell him a favor.

Lanyu nodded, gently stroking the Cosmic Jade in the Cloud Dragon Sea, her killing intent settling in her eyes.

”Brother Lanyu, I'll take my leave first. Take a good rest and we'll meet again at the auction.” Huangfu Shaojie was very observant. When he saw that Lanyu didn't say anything, he immediately sent out the order to dismiss her. He had already achieved his goal, so he got up and left.

Lan Yu sent Huangfu Shaojie out, then closed the door to his room. He took out a large black robe from within the Cosmic Jade and put it on. There was a hat on the back of the black robe, and it just happened to cover Lan Yu's entire head.

Lan Yu pressed her ear to the door and listened for a moment. Then, she found that it was very quiet outside. She gently opened the door and closed it, easily escaping the imperial guards and disappearing into the night.

The Imperial City was changing its scenery with brightly lit lanterns. Almost all of the servants were busily preparing for the large-scale auction that was going to take place in half a month.

A servant boy was moving his things when he suddenly saw a black shadow walk into the changing field. The man was dressed strangely, which immediately gave the servant a fright.

”Who is it?” My change of scene is not a place for assassins. ”

The attendant was terrified.

The black-clothed man was none other than Lanyu. He walked over to the manservant and tossed him 10 low-grade spirit stones. His voice was hoarse and he seemed very old, ”Don't scream, take me to your Chief Steward.”

”Old man, come with me.” With the spirit stones in hand, the servant didn't care who the other side was anymore and led Lanyu to the Treasure Pavilion.

After arriving at the Treasure Pavilion, Lanyu found that the old man Xun Yun and the purple-robed beauty she had seen that day were both here, inspecting the treasures.

The purple-robed beauty noticed Lanyu's presence and turned her head to look. She couldn't help but be a bit surprised, frowning, and curiously asked: ”Who are you? Do you know that my Treasure Pavilion is a forbidden area? ”

Lanyu didn't say anything. She took out that piece of Cosmic Jade from the Cloud Dragon Sea and tossed it towards the purple-robed beauty.

”You should know him.”

Lanyu said indifferently.

”This is …” The Heaven and Earth Jade of the Prince of Heavenly Cloud Empire? ” The violet-robed beauty was shocked. She looked warily at Lanyu.
