Chapter 391: The Sincerity of His Highness, the Crown Prince

”Zhou Bao is crazy!”

The news was heard that Zhou Bao had gone up to Qianyuan Mountain and defeated the Master of the Golden Lights Cave.

The people were initially calm when they first heard about that, but soon after, exclamations began to arise.

The people were already immune to Zhou Bao's daring acts. Compared to dashing into the Mingyi School on his own, demolishing the door of Qianyun Mountain did not seem all that surprising.

Qianyun Moutain was a solo act outside of the three big sects of the Jin. Although there were occasional partnerships, Qianyun Mountain did not have any backup. Instead, their vigorous expansion now had even endangered the well-being of the three big sects. Hence, the people were actually smiling in their hearts when they heard what Zhou Bao had done.

The only thing that they felt bad about was the Divine Wind Palace, which was also the School of the Five Virtues.

Through his actions, Zhou Bao had proven that he had a very stern, determined attitude. Under such circumstances, there was only one way to lay hands on his Yin and Yang Dust Formation. And that was to snatch it by force.

However, that was impossible.

The conditions were not right. The internal opinions of the Mingyi School were divided and the School of the Five Virtues was on disagreeing terms. Furthermore, it was the prime time to take over the Azure Secret Area and no one was willing to fight a one-on-one with Zhou Bao at this point in time.

Hence, with much pent-up dissatisfaction, they had to sit back and watch Zhou Bao, the shit-stirrer, show off.

While the Master of the Golden Lights Cave may have been defeated, the cave still remained the same. Regardless, the Master had several strong disciples. They set up a new fort on a mountaintop near Qianyun Mountain and vowed to fight Zhou Bao till the end.

The White Blademaster Lu Shaoyou had especially sworn to destroy Zhou Bao's body. However, by the time he had done so, Zhou Bao had already returned to the Wuyang Region, seemingly oblivious of his threat.

Wang She had his eyes on Lu Shaoyou, so there was no need for Zhou Bao to worry about him.

And as for the Golden Lights Cave, while it had not collapsed despite losing its Master and the underground spirit vein, it was destined to fail. And for whatever might come next, Zhou Bao did not even need to care too much because he could just fight back in the dark.

The only thing that he was worried about now was the Original Spirit of the Master of the Golden Lights Cave. It had already entered the Mysterious Realm and attained immortality. Even though it was being put in the Furnace of Immortality at the moment, its name was still in the Golden Book of Fate. That being said, it still had the chance to be reincarnated. And if it were to be reincarnated with the memories of its previous life, it would indeed be a threat to Zhou Bao.

However, Zhou Bao did not have the time to worry about him now. While his name was still recorded in the Golden Book of Fate, it was not easy to be reincarnated completely. The Divine Wind Palace had great control over the Golden Book of Fate, but not enough to determine who got to be reincarnated. That being said, there were disputes within the Divine Wind Palace. For example, the Third Supervisor of the School of the Five Virtues, Li VII, was not on good terms with Yi IV. If Li VII decided to side with Zhou Bao and help him in the dark, the Original Spirit of the Master of Golden Lights Cave might not come out at all.

Henceforth, Zhou Bao was not worried about the Master of the Golden Lights Cave at all.

”Crown Prince, Crown Prince... This is interesting. The Crown Prince is trying to get close to me at this time. What is he planning?!” Zhou Bao tapped his index finger lightly against the table while looking at the long list of presents that he had received. Doubts and guesses shimmered from his eyes.

400,000 taels of gold, eight million taels of white jade pearl, 3,000 pairs of jade, five Blood Jade Coral that were 10 feet tall, and diamonds of every color—there was no lack of precious jewels.

It took a whole three days just to transport the gifts, and that was on top of the fact that those in the Anyuan Store had already mastered the legendary Chunyun transportation ability.

This bunch of precious items was enough to support one's wealthy lifestyle for 10 lifetimes. They were sent by the Crown Prince without any hesitation. At the same time, he also gave Zhou Bao 500 beautiful servants. He did not even try to cover up his effort to draw close to him and get on his good side. Just what was he thinking of doing?

Below Zhou Bao stood his servants, Jiang Xiao, Wang Cheng, Zhu Ba, and Renzhen Cuo. They were all looking down out of the corners of their eyes, occasionally eyeing the gifts that filled the yard. Zhou Bao had no idea what was going on in their minds!

”What do you think, Jiang Xiao?”

”Your Excellency, it is very obvious that the Crown Prince is trying to get on your good side for the sake of his future. Nonetheless, based on your powerful status, it is perfectly fine if you accept the gifts and do nothing about them!”
