61: Fighting! Chu Xinyan, Chu Hao!

Meng Ruxue and the woman also saw the two of them at this moment.

Suddenly, Meng Ruxue's steps halted, her eyes widened, staring intently at Chu Yun.

"Shadow Guard Commander Luo Feng."

"Young Miss, this person is most likely Ninth Prince Chu Yun."

The woman recognized Luo Feng's identity, and combined with him guarding Chu Yun, she immediately guessed Chu Yun's identity.

"Ninth Prince Chu Yun..."

"You are actually Xiao Yan!!"

Meng Ruxue's voice trembled, and her face, which could be called the most beautiful in the world, was filled with disbelief.

"What?!"

"He is Xiao Yan?!"

The woman behind her body trembled violently, her face extremely shocked.

Chu Yun was also stunned at this moment.

He had thought that he would meet Meng Ruxue sooner or later, but he never expected it to be like this.

This was too much of a coincidence!

He could even run into her on the street; who could he complain to?

"Miss Meng, since we've met, it must be fate. How about we find a place to chat?" Chu Yun proactively invited.

As Meng Ruxue's face trembled with shock, a hint of coldness appeared in the depths of her eyes: "Hold Luo Feng, I'll capture Xiao Yan first!"

It wasn't that Meng Ruxue didn't understand the bigger picture; it was that she clearly knew the threat Xiao Yan and the Heavenly Demoness posed to her far outweighed that of the Empress Faction.

Therefore, she didn't hesitate to make a move within the Imperial Palace at this moment, solely to uncover the secrets surrounding Chu Yun and information about the Heavenly Demoness.

"Yes!"

In an instant, Meng Ruxue channeled her Shattered Realm spiritual power, her figure flashing like a meteor, instantly striking towards Chu Yun.

The beautiful woman simultaneously released a Nirvana Realm-level halo, erupting with full power to temporarily trap Luo Feng.

"How dare you!"

Luo Feng stomped his foot heavily, his aura surging out, directly breaking through the woman's confinement.

A Nirvana Realm cultivator who had just broken through, daring to try and trap him, was simply a joke!

Just as he was about to stop Meng Ruxue, he received a look from Chu Yun, signaling him not to act!

Chu Yun smiled slightly. The moment Meng Ruxue attacked, his palm emitted faint crimson spiritual light, followed by a strike that sent out a surging wave of blood Qi, transforming into a crimson current that directly met Meng Ruxue's attack.

Bang!!

Meng Ruxue's palm print instantly shattered, and even her figure was forced back nearly ten meters by Chu Yun's power.

Her pupils widened, her heart fluctuating greatly, as she stared at the scene before her in disbelief.

Chu Yun had actually reached the Early Stage of the Shattered Realm!

Moreover, the power he wielded was far stronger than her own!

How was this possible?

She had once been a Great Emperor; her bone structure and Physique were definitely Saint-Grade. She was an extremely competitive person, whether in her past life or before, she always felt her talent was not inferior to anyone in the Yuan Realm.

But Chu Yun's single strike, with its cross-Realm suppression of her power, caused a huge upheaval in her heart, leading to a significant blow.

"Miss Meng, stop now."

"We are all one family; there's no need to resort to conflict and hurt our harmony," Chu Yun advised again.

"Bah!!"

"Shameless!"

"Chu Yun, who is family with you!"

"Today, I will not lose to you!"

Meng Ruxue was too headstrong, her heart unconvinced, and she rushed forward again, preparing to use some trump cards to attack Chu Yun.

But the next moment, a figure appeared and grabbed her arm.

Meng Ruxue's figure stopped, and she turned to look at the newcomer, surprised: "Father..."

The person who arrived was Meng Changzhong.

At this moment, his face was slightly somber, his brows slightly furrowed: "Ru Xue, you are being presumptuous!"

"How dare you attack Your Highness? Have you gone mad?!"

Meng Changzhong directly chastised his daughter, and Meng Ruxue angrily retorted: "Father, this is a personal grudge between me and Xiao Yan, don't interfere!"

Upon hearing this, Meng Changzhong was somewhat surprised.

The Ninth Prince's identity as Xiao Yan had actually been discovered by Xue'er!

"Enough!"

"Stop messing around!"

"Ru Xue, where is your usual rationality?"

"This is the Imperial Palace, not a marketplace!"

Meng Changzhong's angry roar completely made Meng Ruxue stop.

Her heated emotions gradually cooled down, and she began to realize that if she and Chu Yun were to fight fiercely within the Imperial Palace, the most difficult and unmanageable situation would undoubtedly be for her father.

"I understand."

Subsequently, Meng Ruxue retracted all her power, completely abandoning the idea of making a move.

"Your Highness, Ru Xue has offended you. It is due to my lax discipline. I hope Your Highness will forgive her," Meng Changzhong expressed his apology to Chu Yun.

"Prime Minister, please don't say that."

"There is a great misunderstanding between Miss Meng and me."

"At a suitable time, this Prince will personally visit your residence to resolve the misunderstanding with Miss Meng," Chu Yun said with a sincere expression.

"Hmph."

Meng Ruxue turned her face away, not believing Chu Yun's nonsense at all.

One must know that if it weren't for Chu Yun, her plan in Crescent Moon Valley would have already succeeded.

At the same time, she wouldn't have had to go into seclusion for over ten days to recover from her injuries.

For her, there was an irreconcilable enmity between her and Chu Yun.

However, she was unaware that Venerable Wan Lei, who ultimately rescued her, was arranged by Chu Yun.

All of this was due to the different perspectives seen by both sides, with no right or wrong.

Meng Changzhong nodded upon hearing this: "Good."

"Your Highness, then I shall take my daughter and depart first."

"Let's go."

Meng Changzhong then led Meng Ruxue and the woman out of the Imperial Palace.

Chu Yun let out a long sigh of relief; it was a good thing the Prime Minister had arrived.

Otherwise, if the situation had continued to develop like this, he would have had no choice but to forcibly suppress Meng Ruxue.

But in doing so, it would make it more difficult for him to repair their relationship in the future.

The background is easy to edit, but how to explain it, Chu Yun's honey-laced mouth still had to figure out a way.

"Your Highness, did you offend Miss Meng before?" Luo Feng asked curiously from the side.

"It's a long story."

Chu Yun shook his head and sighed.

"Let's not talk about her."

"You just said to arrange for Ah Tai to leave the city... judging by the time, they should have already reached outside the city."

"Then let's begin. I hope we can catch a bigger fish."

Luo Feng responded: "Yes, Your Highness!"

Luo Feng then sent a message to the Princes Residence.

...

Soon after, Ah Tai, the head steward of the Ninth Princes Mansion, left the Imperial City at noon under the pretext of purchasing goods outside the city.

Sixth Princess's Mansion.

In a brightly decorated palace hall.

Sixth Princess Chu Xinyan and Eighth Prince Chu Hao sat alone in the spacious hall.

Chu Hao held a paper fan in his hand, his smile receding, his fingertips gently brushing over the fan.

"The Empress has already sent people to follow Ah Tai out of the city. Most likely, they will make a move on him once they are outside the city."

"Now that Shura Venerable has also left, even with Luo Feng's close protection, he will be no match if he faces a Venerable Realm cultivator."

Chu Xinyan at this moment was completely different from how she was at the banquet, her demeanor as cold as frost, without any of the warmth she had previously shown towards Chu Yun.

Instead, when Chu Yun was mentioned, she displayed an unconcealable disgust towards him!

"Chu Yun's talent is beyond our expectations, but his Foundation is too shallow. Now that he has openly fallen out with the Eastern Palace, his days are numbered..." Chu Hao said with a faint smile, stroking his paper fan.
