Chapter 327: Chapter 2 White 96 Blue Sword Symbol Treasure_1
“No!”
Xu Mu flatly shook his head.
Even though the Fifth Prince has always been quite friendly towards him, it’s better for less people to know about certain matters.
“Really none?”
“None!”
The Fifth Prince seemed somewhat skeptical.
There was a tension between the two of them that anyone could perceive.
But since Xu Mu adamantly denied, the prince did not push him further.
“Alright then! However, be careful in the future. If you ever need anything, you can directly approach me. The forces backing Seventh Princess aren’t as simple as they appear!”
“Thank you for the warning, your highness.”
“We’re all on the same side, no need to be so formal. Let’s part ways here. We’ll meet again after the trial period.”
The Fifth Prince nodded with a smile.
“Your Highness, aren’t you coming with me?” Xu Mu asked, puzzled.
He initially assumed that the Fifth Prince would accompany him to find Li Youlan. Now, with the Fifth Prince going alone, getting the first place would be difficult without collaborating with Li Youlan.
“No need! I was purposely provoking the Seventh Princess so she wouldn’t cause you harm! Now that we’ve distanced ourselves, I doubt she’ll make a move against you. Once you’ve teamed up with Youlan, she’ll have no choice but to leave you alone. In the meantime, I’ll take this opportunity to gather more Qi to ensure that I’m not too far down the ranking and become a laughing stock.” The Fifth Prince laughed.
It seemed he was not particularly concerned about the rankings, nor having any intentions to take advantage of Li Youlan.
“Thank you, Your Highness!”
Xu Mu thanked him again.
“I told you, there’s no need to be so formal.”
The Fifth Prince laughed, transformed into an escape light, and flew off towards the distance, soon disappearing beyond the horizon.
“This boy probably sees you as something extraordinary. He wants to win you over, which is why he is being so generous. But be careful, those from the Da Yuan Royal Family can be double-faced and backstabbers. They could betray you on any given day.” the Black YuanYing advised.
“Aren’t you part of the royal family yourself? Isn’t it a little inappropriate to say that?” Xu Mu chuckled.
“I’ve already severed ties with them. Don’t lump me together with them!”
Clearly, the royal family had hurt the Black YuanYing deeply in the past, or else he wouldn’t say such things.
Asserting your independence while still referring to yourself as ‘king’, are you sure you’ve severed ties?
“Hahaha!”
Xu Mu chuckled and added, “It’s the deeds, not the intentions, that matter. Regardless of his motives, he has indeed helped me. I’ll reciprocate when opportunity arises.”
“Whatever you do, just don’t get me involved!” Black YuanYing responded, disdainfully.
“Don’t worry!”
Xu Mu spoke, “Let’s talk about the Heavenly Creation Chi now.”
While communicating mentally with Black YuanYing, Xu Mu quickly made his way back to meet Li Youlan and the others who were still hunting ghosts. There were also quite a few townsfolk in the Qi Cultivation Stage, likely brought over by Xu Ling.
“Master!”
Upon seeing Xu Mu return, the first person to greet him was not Li Youlan, but Xu Ling, possibly hoping to show off her relationship with Xu Mu.
“Mmm.”
Xu Mu simply nodded back and walked towards Li Youlan.
“Your Highness!”
“It’s good to see you back! I heard from our ancestors about what happened in the palace. Are your injuries severe?” Li Youlan asked with concern.
Hearing that the old woman had searched the entire space and encountered Li Youlan was not surprising at all.
“Thank you for your concern, Your Highness! These are just minor injuries, nothing to worry about.”
