86: Invite the two women to the warship! Linghu Chong's plan!

Looking at the surprised Moon Clearsnow sisters, Princess Pingyang didn't intend to hide anything and said with a slight smile, "That's right, we weren't trying to hide it from you. We just thought this identity wasn't worth mentioning."

Moon Clearsnow nodded, saying nothing more.

However, thinking of the Demon Suppression Division, the adorable Yue Qingmeng recalled Li Shengyuan, clad in his Jin Yi (Golden Cloaks), majestic and solemn...

Immediately, her cheeks flushed again. Why was she thinking of him again?

At this moment, the two burly men from Giant Spirit Hall had already been easily subdued by the arriving Demon Suppression Envoys.

Zhang Mang coldly glanced at the two still struggling and shouting, and roared, "Behave yourselves! How dare you still be arrogant in the hands of my Demon Suppression Division!"

He instructed his silver-clad subordinates, "Make them shut up and escort them away!"

"Yes, sir!"

Watching the two being escorted away, Zhang Mang came before Shen Xinrong and Princess Pingyang, cupping his hands in a salute, "Princess... *cough*... My apologies, those two ruffians disrupted your enjoyment."

The word 'Princess' had habitually slipped out, but after Princess Pingyang glared at him, Zhang Mang's somewhat slow mind suddenly snapped back, and he changed his address.

What he hadn't expected was that Her Royal Highness and Miss Shen were actually with the two fairies from Yuehua Palace.

Princess Pingyang was too grateful to the two Giant Spirit Hall members to blame them.

She waved her hand dismissively, smiling, "It's fine. How could those two petty thieves be a match for Sister Rong!"

"Minister Zhang, please go attend to your duties. We still have more to chat about with the two Sister Yues from Yuehua Palace."

Zhang Mang nodded, and before leaving, he added, "Two sirs, please return early. We will be departing soon."

Shen Xinrong and Princess Pingyang were slightly startled upon hearing this. Why so soon? Then they nodded and said, "Understood."

After Zhang Mang bowed, he turned and left.

Moon Clearsnow watched Zhang Mang's sturdy retreating back, then recalled his attitude towards Shen Xinrong and Princess Pingyang earlier, and couldn't help but glance back at Princess Pingyang again.

To make a Golden-robed Demon Suppressor from the Demon Suppression Division show such an attitude, these two's identities must be extraordinary!

At this moment, Princess Pingyang looked at the two girls, Moon Clearsnow and Yue Qingmeng, and said somewhat helplessly, "Sister Qing Shuang, Sister Rong and I can't accompany you to other places to play. We have to depart soon."

Yuehua Palace was certainly one of the main forces in the encirclement of Giant Spirit Hall. Although the specific purpose could not be stated, there was no need to hide it.

"Didn't you just arrive? Are you leaving Yanwang City already?" Moon Clearsnow asked, somewhat surprised.

They had arrived earlier than Li Shengyuan and his group. On that day, they had also witnessed Li Shengyuan leading his forces to kill Xu Mingzhi and a few others.

At that time, Li Shengyuan was indeed in high spirits, and few people noticed Princess Pingyang and Shen Xinrong not far behind him, which was why they didn't recognize the two girls.

Princess Pingyang smiled slightly, "You'll soon know what we're going to do. Speaking of which, if you're willing, you can come with us!"

This made the Moon Clearsnow sisters a bit confused.

Are your next actions related to us?

Shen Xinrong also smiled at the two girls, "If you have nothing to do, why not come sit with us? Perhaps you'll receive news shortly."

Princess Pingyang's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and she nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes! Just lend me your Truth-telling Pearl for a bit; I'll return it right after I use it!"

Moon Clearsnow hesitated. In truth, these sects and factions of the pugilistic world generally didn't want to deal with the imperial court.

If they didn't indiscriminately kill innocents or harm common folk, the imperial court wouldn't interfere in the conflicts between pugilistic sects.

However, Princess Pingyang's words made Moon Clearsnow a little tempted. If they could repay their favor now, that would naturally be for the best.

So, meeting Princess Pingyang's expectant gaze, she nodded and said, "We are free today, so we will trouble you two."

"No trouble at all, no trouble at all! Two sisters, come with me!" Princess Pingyang, beaming with joy, pulled the hands of the two senior and junior sisters and started walking out.

Moon Clearsnow and Yue Qingmeng were both a bit unaccustomed to being pulled along.

Moon Clearsnow frowned slightly, her cherry lips slightly parted, but seeing Princess Pingyang's joyful smile, she ultimately did not speak.

She could feel that Princess Pingyang's actions were a genuine, guileless expression of emotion.

Yue Qingmeng didn't think so much. Seeing Princess Pingyang intimately holding her hand made her cheeks, rarely pink in front of other women, turn a tender rosy hue.

Shen Xinrong couldn't help but shake her head and smile at the sight, then followed them, chiding Princess Pingyang, "Shining, let go of their hands. They'll walk on their own. Look, Qingmeng is blushing because of you."

"Huh?"

Princess Pingyang turned her head in surprise and indeed, as Sister Rong had said, she released the two girls, saying apologetically, "I'm so sorry..."

"No, it's fine."

Yue Qingmeng lowered her head, her cheeks flushed, speaking softly.

Moon Clearsnow also shook her head, not minding at all.

After the four girls left the restaurant, Linghu Chong, who had been tidying up his belongings at a nearby table, also got up and left.

His eyes flickered as he watched the four girls' graceful and varied figures disappear.

Recalling Shen Xinrong's formidable strength displayed earlier, he murmured to himself, "I can't believe that girl is from the Demon Suppression Division. No wonder her strength is so great. I wonder how the rumored number one genius of the Demon Suppression Division, Li Shengyuan, compares to her!"

Linghu Chong's heart immediately filled with surging fighting spirit. He mused, "However, I am only at the fifth rank now. I heard that Li Shengyuan broke through to the fourth rank before he was twenty. This talent is truly terrifying. Now, I don't know how strong he is. I should at least wait until I break through to the fourth rank before challenging him!"

He was extremely confident in his own strength, and fighting across ranks was not impossible. All the way from the Central Plains to this Northern Frontier, he had used the Xuantian Sword Sect's top-tier ultimate technique, the 'Xuantian Nine Swords,' to fight and win against higher-ranked opponents many times!

But that Li Shengyuan was no ordinary person; challenging him across ranks would simply be asking for abuse!

"The most urgent task is to break through to the fourth rank as soon as possible!"

Immediately after, Linghu Chong's brows furrowed again. "Li Shengyuan is the Imperial Envoy sent to the Northern Frontier for demon suppression. Should I tell him the news that Giant Spirit Hall disciples are colluding with the Demonic Cult...?"

Thinking of this, Linghu Chong was a bit conflicted.

He had discovered this news when he first entered the Northern Frontier and entered a secret realm to compete for opportunities with others.

If his strength hadn't been sufficient, he would probably have died in the secret realm, under the combined assault of Giant Spirit Hall disciples and Demonic Cult devils.

He had even found some evidence on the Giant Spirit Hall disciples, deducing that many people in Giant Spirit Hall were colluding with the Demonic Cult!

But this Giant Spirit Hall was a colossal existence in the Northern Frontier. Although not as strong as the Xuantian Sword Sect, it was still very powerful!

His current evidence was not conclusive. If it were to spread, he might very well be silenced!

For safety's sake, Linghu Chong still rejected the idea of telling Li Shengyuan the news right now.

"First, I'll thoroughly investigate near Giant Spirit Hall. Once confirmed, it won't be too late to tell that Li Shengyuan the news!" Linghu Chong thought cautiously.

Then he sighed, shaking his head, "For such a major task as demon suppression, that Empress didn't even send someone stronger. Although Li Shengyuan is strong, a fourth-rank is still a bit lacking..."
