”So, was that really fine?” Fei Jin Fang said as he walked along the hallway in the Imperial Royal Palace. It seemed as though he was talking to an empty air beside him.

Weng!!

A ripple suddenly appeared which contorted the space beside him. With it, came out a familiar figure.

It was Liu Sheng Juan.

By using some sort of a mystical artifact, he was able to hide his presence from other people's senses.

”The small prince is but predictable. This much should be fine, and even if we go a little bit further, the Liu Empire would still turn a blind eye to us.” he replied calmly as his eyes reflected a deep, calculative mind.

The prince, Liu Shuiyui, although was renown to have a big mouth, was not as idiot as he appeared. He would not dare to have said such things in the first place if there was no one backing him up.

After all, no matter how braindead someone was, insulting the Emperor of another Empire in a foreign territory would certainly grant them death by hanging.

Even if the latter's status was a prince, there was no exception to this.

However, doing so would create an unstable rift between their Empire. While the big clans, nobles and aristocrats in the Jiu Empire was thoroughly suppressed by the Emperor, Jiu Xian Ping, the same could not be said about their neighbour, the Liu Empire.

In the Liu Empire, there were four major factions eyeing for opportunity to wrestle influence and authority;

The Royal faction, the most powerful in terms of authority. The Trinity Faction, consisting of nobles, aristocrats, and hired bureaucrats which has a deep influence in the society. The East Merchants Faction, controlling the vast majority of the economic flow in the Liu Empire, and finally, the Seven Deadly Clans, whom acted as the backbone of their military might!

If their prince, was somehow executed in foreign territory, these 4 factions would definitely make a move against one another!

Liu Sheng Juan, with his vast insights, had already predicted that something was amiss the moment this infamous prince of mischief, Liu Shuiyui requested for an audience.

Therefore, he chose to stick with Fei Jin Fang despite their day and night personality.

Usually, when the two of them met, they would argue ceaselessly all day, causing even the Emperor to sigh out helplessly every time, as if casted out like an outsider.

However, when it came down to doing business, the two of them seemed to become brother-in-arms as if bounded by blood! They would trust each other without restraint.

If Fei Jin Fang was the brawns, then Liu Sheng Juan was the brain!

Right now, Liu Sheng Juan's calculative mind had already plotted out a clear conjecture of what was going on.

”Most probably, Liu Shuiyui was sent here to try to get some information about who is the Imperial Overseer. By creating a ruckus and looking down on our Emperor for making such a decision, one would definitely feel the need to defend the Emperor's honor.” he said.

Fei Jin Fang thought for a while before nodding in agreement, ”Indeed, had you not warned me in advance, I would have told them that the Emperor made such decision was not due to simple means, but that the very fate of the people of the Jiu Empire hangs on it!”

”That's right, and while that information might seemed like insignificant to others, in front of my brother.. he would definitely be able to trace the meaning until the end!” Liu Sheng Juan said with a serious look on his face.

”Oh yeah, the envoy that came from the Liu Empire was lead by your older brother, Liu Sheng Duhai isn't it? That is one troublesome figure we have here..” Fei Jin Fang wore the same expression as well.

This must mean that Liu Shuiyui's action was most probably instructed by the other party!

But to what extent was the purpose? The both of them weren't really sure either.

The calculative talent of Liu Sheng Juan's older brother, Liu Sheng Duhai, was something that was too extraordinary that even their Emperor would never underestimate!

Furthermore, the reason why Liu Sheng Duhai was sent to lead the envoy was because he did not support any of the 4 factions at all despite possessing the title of advisor for the Liu Empire. He always remained neutral, thinking of what's best for the Empire first and foremost.

Thus, the four factions of the Liu Empire does not need to worry as whatever happens here would not benefit any of them politically.

Thinking of his older brother, a cold glimmer could be traced hidden deep inside Liu Sheng Juan's eyes.

...

Puhe!

Two figure rose up from the zule river that surrounded the Imperial palace and crawled onto the river bank while gasping for air.

Bam!

”That damned Fei Jin Fang! To think that he dared to really throw me out from the window!” Liu Shuiyui spatted out as he punched the ground.

Still, this much humiliation is acceptable as I did just straightly mocked out their Emperor..

Though..

That damned Liu Sheng Duhai, the hell is he planning making me said all those?

For a second, I really thought that my soul was leaving my body the moment Fei Jin Fang attacked! Thankfully, he only strucked the clone beside me..

If there was no one there, with no one to vent his frustrations on, I might have been the one to die..

Suddenly, a shiver ran down his spine as he thought of something.

”It can't be.. did that bastard predicted this too and prepared the clone beforehand?”

Gulp!

Nah.. he isn't that omniscient..

”The effects from the Qi sealing pills should wear off soon my prince..” the attendant beside him reminded.

According to safety protocols, any foreign cultivator regardless of titles, except for a very special circumstances, before entering the Imperial Palace, were required to swallow the Qi sealing pills that acted to disrupt the Qi flow within one's meridians and Qi pathways, temporarily rendering them unable to make use of their spiritual Qi at all.

This was also the reason why they can't escape their fate from being thrown out of the window so disgracefully before.
