30: The advantage of the evil infant, Luo Feng was shocked!

Listening to Shura Venerable, Chu Yun felt warmth in his heart.

He was not alone; even though the Empress Faction had many connections, he also had support behind him.

The Shi Family, as the number one Family within the Great Xia Dynasty, was no weaker than any other force.

Not even the Heavenly State Divine Sect, which was hailed as the number one Sect within the Imperial Dynasty.

They would not dare to claim absolute certainty that they could defeat the Shi Family.

At most, it would be a fifty-fifty split.

“Mother, Uncle, I understand.”

“If there’s anything I need, I’ll tell you,” Chu Yun said.

… … … …

Chu Yun and the two talked for a short while before he and Luo Feng left the palace and returned to his residence.

Inside the room.

“You said someone offered a Nirvana Realm Evil Infant just to meet me?”

Chu Yun looked at Luo Feng with some surprise.

Luo Feng said seriously, “Your Highness, to be precise, it’s to meet Xiao Yan.”

“But this message was released by Misty Rain Tower, and it’s anonymous, so currently, we don’t know who spent such a large sum.”

After hearing this, Chu Yun stroked his chin in thought: “Even the Great Xia Shadow Guard can’t find out?”

“Your Highness, Misty Rain Tower has too much daily traffic. Even if the Shadow Guard wanted to investigate, they would have no way to start.”

“However, in my opinion, anyone who can offer a Nirvana Realm Evil Infant as a meeting gift, their identity, status, and even their Realm cultivation, are absolutely not low!”

“It is highly likely to be a Venerable Realm expert, or someone closely associated with a Venerable Realm expert.”

“Within the Imperial City, the biggest suspects, according to my guess, are most likely only the Prime Minister, the Imperial Advisor, or… the Crown Prince,” Luo Feng said.

The expression in Chu Yun’s eyes gradually became serious and interesting: “This is getting interesting.”

“If that’s the case, then this Prince truly wants to meet that person.”

Luo Feng immediately advised, “Your Highness, I’m worried if this matter might be a trap?”

“If someone wants to deal with Xiao Yan, then if Your Highness goes, he might fall into a dangerous situation.”

Chu Yun smiled faintly: “No matter, as long as one’s own strength is sufficient, there will be no danger.”

“Commander Luo, can I trust you?”

Chu Yun suddenly looked at him with a smile.

Luo Feng’s face was bewildered, somewhat confused, not understanding Chu Yun’s meaning.

“Your Highness, your subordinate was personally ordered by Your Majesty to protect Your Highness’s safety. Your Highness can completely trust me.”

Chu Yun explained: “This Prince is not talking about that.”

“What I mean is, can I truly trust you?”

“If you are truly willing to wholeheartedly assist me, then I will let you come into contact with some secrets concerning this Prince.”

“However, you should also understand, once you know this Prince’s secrets, how should you act?”

Luo Feng understood Chu Yun’s hint.

If he wanted to become Chu Yun’s core confidant, then he would have to guard Chu Yun’s secrets.

“This…”

Luo Feng seemed a bit hesitant at this moment.

Although he diligently protected Chu Yun, he was still the Commander of the Great Xia Shadow Guard, personally commanded by His Majesty the Emperor.

“Commander Luo, if you are indecisive, I will not force you.”

“However, if I go to the appointment next, I will not be able to bring you,” Chu Yun said directly.

Luo Feng listened to Chu Yun’s words, and after careful consideration: “Your Highness, as a Shadow Guard Commander, I cannot betray Your Majesty.”

“But if Your Highness has some matters that he temporarily does not wish to disclose, then Luo Feng can postpone reporting the news.”

Chu Yun smiled.

He knew that Luo Feng had agreed.

As the Shadow Guard Commander, he naturally could not violate the Imperial order. This was the greatest concession he could make.

Delaying the report, as for the duration of the delay, that was vague; it could be one day, or it could be one year.

“Good.”

“Come in, both of you.”

As Chu Yun’s voice fell, Venerable Wan Lei and the Heavenly Demoness walked in from outside the door.

“Your Highness.”

Venerable Wan Lei bowed, while the Heavenly Demoness directly sat down on the side, not being polite at all.

“Wan Lei, Commander Luo, please be seated.”

Chu Yun didn’t mind and looked at the two.

After the few of them were seated, Chu Yun said, “The other party offered these conditions through Misty Rain Tower, so tonight, let’s go to the appointment.”

“At that time, Commander Luo, you help me deliver the message. The meeting location will naturally be decided by us.”

“Wan Lei will be responsible for staying by my side to prevent any accidents.”

“As for Jade Girl, where do you want to go?”

After Chu Yun arranged everything, he looked at the Heavenly Demoness and asked with interest.

“Where do you want me to go?” the Heavenly Demoness retorted.

“The Crown Prince’s Mansion,” Chu Yun said something surprising.

Luo Feng’s expression changed upon hearing this, and he immediately said, “Your Highness, I think this matter needs to be changed.”

“Let Wan Lei deliver the message. As for protecting Your Highness’s safety, leave it to me.”

“As for letting Jade Girl go to the Crown Prince’s Mansion, won’t that be too dangerous?”

Luo Feng had no other intentions; from his perspective, Chu Yun’s safety was the most important.

How could he be at ease letting Wan Lei protect Chu Yun?

Chu Yun smiled calmly and looked at Wan Lei: “Alright, it’s come to this point, there’s no need to hide anymore.”

“Show them what you’ve got.”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

As Venerable Wan Lei finished speaking, an unstoppable Venerable Realm pressure directly permeated from his body, spreading throughout the entire room.

“Venerable Realm expert!!!”

“You! You are a Venerable Realm expert?!”

After Luo Feng felt Venerable Wan Lei’s Qi, his face changed drastically, filled with utter shock.

What kind of joke was this?!

The person he had been interacting with these past few days was actually a Venerable!

The crucial thing was that this Venerable was actually loyal to their Prince, obeying his every command!

This was truly somewhat surreal.

“I apologize, the previous concealment was out of necessity,” Venerable Wan Lei said.

“Commander Luo, Wan Lei is my own subordinate. No one knows of his existence, including my Mother and Uncle; they don’t know that I have a Venerable hidden by my side.”

“I hope this matter will not be leaked.”

“With him by my side, he can basically handle most accidents. With him here, you can just deliver the letter; there’s absolutely no need to worry about this Prince’s safety,” Chu Yun said to him seriously.

Hearing all this, Luo Feng’s heart remained restless.

The shock on his face had not faded, as he desperately tried to process everything before him.

A Venerable!

Prince Chu Yun actually had a Venerable Realm expert personally guarding him.

Most importantly, this person was not from the Imperial Family, nor the Shi Family, but was the Prince’s own trusted subordinate.

This… how strong must his charisma be? To make a Venerable Realm expert so loyal!

Luo Feng found that at this moment, he was increasingly unable to see through this Ninth Prince.

He had just returned, seemingly with a thin Foundation of power. Although he had the Shi Family behind him, the Shi Family’s Foundation was not in the Imperial City after all.

Looking at him alone, his Foundation in the Imperial City was too shallow, and his connections were even fewer, being the weakest among the Princes and having the fewest retainers.

But today, when Luo Feng discovered Venerable Wan Lei’s true cultivation, he realized that this Ninth Prince was too good at hiding, too steady!

Before having absolute certainty, this Ninth Prince truly revealed nothing, giving people the misleading impression that he was ordinary.

However, he had a Venerable Realm expert personally guarding him. Just this point alone showed that he was already beyond what most Imperial City nobles could compare to.
