Chapter 1176 - The Grand Tutor’s Birthday Banquet (1) (1/2)

Ji Fengyan’s plan totally stunned Long Xi. He had thought Ji Fengyan must have gone mad to come up with such a suicide mission. He didn’t know that she had already completely deceived the Sacred Dragon Emperor. The scariest thing was at this moment, the Emperor was probably extremely grateful towards Ji Fengyan, not realizing that he had stepped into a deathtrap set by her.

Ji Fengyan’s plan was foolhardy, and Long Xi no longer doubted her. He put on a show of ignorance and went about his daily matters as usual.

In the blink of an eye, the day of Grand Tutor Xing Hun’s birthday banquet arrived.

On this day, the capital city was full of festive decorations and a celebratory atmosphere.

It was as if some prince or princess was about to get married.

In reality, Xing Hun’s status in the Kingdom of Sa Er had already surpa.s.sed that of a royal family member. Apart from the Sa Er Emperor, no one else outranked him.

The banquet had yet to begin, but many important officials were already lined up outside the Grand Tutor’s residence with all sorts of exquisite gifts in hand, waiting for the celebrations to start.

Inside the Grand Tutor’s residence, Xing Hun sat in the main hall drinking a cup of tea in leisure. Sitting right beside him was the fake second prince, Long Yue!

“Lord Grand Tutor, Long Xi visited the palace a few days ago and I heard he brought Princess Long Qin out with him. I wonder… if she said anything to Long Xi.” Long Yue gazed respectfully at Xing Hun.

Xing Hun lifted his eyes, as his handsome face remained expressionless. “Has there been any unusual activity on Long Xi’s side the past few days?”

A guard standing to the side hurriedly said, “Nothing. The Crown Prince has been behaving as per usual the past few days. The only thing he did was to take out some of his own treasures to sell and then had his men transfer the proceeds to the north area.”
