Chapter 398: The Beginning of Chaos (2/2)
”The one from the Divine Wind Palace, of course. It may not be certain who the six people are now. The time and place have been set. Three months later, all these 17 people will arrive at Borderline Mountain, the junction of the Central Mainland Region and the Three Western Regions.”
”Borderline Mountain?” Zhou Bao wore a smile. He knew that mountain. Located at the westernmost part of the Central Mainland Region, the mountain was said to border on the Three Western Regions, but there was a vast Sea Area between them. So, they had to cross the Sea Area of nearly 500,000 kilometers.
”Yeah, Borderline Mountain. Go back and get ready. I'll tell the Divine Wind Palace that you'll join in.”
”Well, thank you!”
”Hehe, you don't need to be so polite to me. But this time, please take care of Moon Deer of Extended Net. You know, since an accident took place in his family, he's been in a bad mood and has been preoccupied with revenge. In order to obtain Ye Qingtian's celestial device, he took part in our hunt. But he's not powerful enough. I'm afraid he'll do something stupid!”
”Didn't Elder Qing know that? Why did you ask him to participate in?”
”It was his own idea. You know our rules—everyone has absolute autonomy. Also, no one else in the 28 constellations is willing to go, except for you. Besides, you cannot expose your identity as a member of the Immortal Palace. If necessary, you're only half a member of the Immortal Palace. So, we can only let him take part in the hunt!”
”Well, I see. Damn it, is that Wang Family really that powerful? Why not take a few people to destroy them and help Moon Deer of Extended Net get his revenge?
”If only it is that simple. The Wang Family is a millennium family of the Jin, with a certain foundation. Besides, they only offended Moon Deer of Extended Net, and did not offend us, the Immortal Palace. If we rush to help him, we'll likely clash with the Divine Wind Palace.”
”Clash with them? Hehe, I don't know how you guys think. Why doesn't the Divine Wind Palace have so many scruples, but you all have?”
Golden Rooster gave a helpless smile. He did not answer Zhou Bao but patted him on the shoulder. ”Well, Junior Leopard, be careful!”
Looking at Golden Rooster's back, Zhou Bao shrugged. ”Is the Immortal Palace really stupid or does it play dumb? The Divine Wind Palace has been plotting for so many years, and haven't they really noticed anything? Are they really indifferent? Not likely. Neither Elder Qing nor White Tiger is such a fool!”
”Maybe they're pretending to be a fool!”
Zhou Bao reluctantly thought, as a consolation to himself.
”Your Excellency, you're finally back! Her Highness is looking for you!” One of Yan Yunfei's maids hurried up to Zhou Bao, and hastily said when he was thinking and walking slowly down Jilei Mountain to the Lord Mansion.
While seeing her looking anxious, Zhou Bao just smiled and followed her into the backyard. As they arrived there, Yan Yunfei was pacing up and down in a hurry. She repeatedly clenched and opened her hands, looking perplexed.
”Yunfei, what's up? You look so worried, what happened?”
”You're back, you're back! It'll be okay!” At the sight of Zhou Bao, Yan Yunfei seemed to find her backbone and rushed to him. ”It's my mother. She, she is seriously ill. I'll go back to the capital city to visit her!”
”Your mother?” Looking at her anxiously, Zhou Bao gently frowned, ”You mean the Queen?”
”Yes, it's her!”
”How do you know that?”
”I just got a letter!” She took out a letter from her inner pocket and handed it to Zhou Bao, ”Zhou Bao, I know you're powerful, and you're able to fly thousands of kilometers a day. Take me to see her, please.”
”Okay, of course!” Zhou Bao stroked her back and read through the letter rapidly. ”Don't worry, it's late. Take a night off, and tomorrow I'll bring you back to Western Capital!”
