304: The return of Lao Jiu

“Hey, no need to be so polite between us. Oh, by the way, since Long Yuan has already opened those five mechs, quickly arrange for them to be sent to Tiangong Group, and also those five War Bear Country prisoners of war!” Chang Hanshan said.

“No problem!” Yu Xun replied.

After hanging up the phone, Yu Xun immediately arranged for Captain Sima Cuo and his team to dispatch people to escort the mechs and prisoners of war to Tiangong Group in Shuntian Prefecture…

After Long Yuan left Captain Sima Cuo and their station (station), he went directly to a secret node of the sinkhole passage. After sneaking in, he followed the node and arrived at the Prince Fus Mansion. He opened the passage door and saw Zhu Nan standing there respectfully, waiting for him.

“Young Lord, you’re finally here!” Zhu Nan, seeing him, couldn't help but excitedly prostrate himself in greeting.

“Eunuch, no need to be polite! Your performance yesterday was excellent!” Long Yuan said.

“Thank you, Young Lord!” Zhu Nan felt completely at ease and his spirits soared after being praised by Long Yuan…

“First, take me to see His Royal Highness!”

“Yes! Young Lord, please follow me!”

The two quickly mounted their unicorns and headed towards the training space…

As they neared the entrance, Long Yuan said, “Eunuch, be careful. Aoi Yoshiko’s subordinate, Ito, is secretly hidden ahead. Let me capture her first!”

Zhu Nan realized and said, “Has this person been hiding here all this time?”

“Indeed! Aoi Yoshiko wants to force His Royal Highness to help her contend for the Shan Feng Forest’s mineral deposits. If she cannot achieve her goal, I’m afraid her next step will be to take His Royal Highness’s life! What you don’t know is that they have even prepared a double for His Royal Highness, and he is already on his way to the Residence…” Long Yuan said lightly.

“What?!!! Heavens…” Zhu Nan’s face turned pale upon hearing this. He never expected Aoi Yoshiko’s scheme to be so vicious, even wanting to replace His Royal Highness to control the Residence. If they succeeded, he and the others probably wouldn’t even know how they died!

He trembled all over, suppressing the frantic pounding in his heart. He could do this, of course, because he saw Long Yuan’s back, which appeared so tall, giving him infinite confidence and a sense of security…

Long Yuan’s unicorn suddenly reined in. With a casual grab, a startled cry rang out then abruptly stopped. A figure flew out from the shadows, falling to the ground unable to move. It was Ito, the one Aoi Yoshiko had ordered to monitor here. At this moment, her face was filled with terror, her eyes fixed on Long Yuan, and her entire body was trembling violently…

She couldn’t understand why she was suddenly discovered and controlled. Was everything due to the appearance of this young man?

Long Yuan’s Divine Sense searched her, and he retrieved a mobile phone from her bosom. After checking it, he opened Ito’s conversation interface with Aoi Yoshiko. After a brief glance, he typed “Everything is normal” and sent it.

Then, with a sweep of his Divine Sense, he moved the woman into a separate cell in the Heavenly Dao Space. Turning to Zhu Nan, he said, “It’s done! This woman has been imprisoned by me. Let’s go and implant the chip into His Royal Highness first!”

“Yes! Young Lord!!!”

Zhu Nan was already accustomed to Ito’s sudden capture and disappearance. He quickly led Long Yuan into the secret training space and met Prince Fu, who was diligently practicing shooting there…

“Father, your son pays his respects!” Long Yuan performed a grand bow. This was the etiquette he had to observe, occupying Zhu Deyuan’s body, and it also fulfilled Zhu Deyuan’s wish to return to the Prince Fus Mansion.

Prince Fu was greatly shaken. He immediately rushed forward and embraced Long Yuan, crying, “Ninth Son, I can’t believe I finally see you! I owe you so much in the past, and from now on, I will do my best to make amends for this mistake!”

Long Yuan smiled and said, “Father, you don’t need to blame yourself. You have done well enough! I have come this time, firstly, to implant a chip in you, giving you an opportunity to cleanse your marrow and at the same time, an opportunity to improve your intelligence, so that you can continuously improve in Cultivation and strategy; secondly, to set up a great protective array for this Residence, so you no longer have to fear external enemies harming it; thirdly, to arrest Aoi Yoshiko and her group of traitors. They are secret agents planted by Prince Lu, the Third Prince, and also Fusang People’s internal collaborators. They have even prepared a double for Father and hidden him in the Residence…”

“Is that so?!!!” Prince Fu’s small eyes widened, and his plump body trembled violently upon hearing this…

Zhu Nan quickly recounted what had just happened. Prince Fu’s face turned pale, but seeing Long Yuan, his heart relaxed. He quickly asked, “Ninth Son, are you confident in dealing with them?”

“Father, rest assured! Dealing with them is merely a flick of the wrist. No matter how they struggle, it’s useless. For now, let’s not worry about them. I will first help Father cleanse his marrow!”

“That’s great! After we catch them, I will definitely torment them severely…”

Long Yuan said nothing, directly raising his hand, and a dark light enveloped Prince Fu. A glowing speck flew out and slowly merged into Prince Fu’s head. After a while, the glowing speck disappeared, and Long Yuan withdrew the dark light. Prince Fu seemed to still be immersed in a strange energy field, with black Impurities continuously seeping out of his body, emitting an incredibly foul odor!

Zhu Nan immediately wanted to get cleaning tools, but Long Yuan waved his hand, and with a flick of his wrist, he moved all these Impurities into the Devouring Mouth…

About an hour later, Prince Fu slowly woke up…

“Your Highness! How do you feel?” Zhu Nan’s eyes lit up, and he asked eagerly.

“It’s so magical. I feel completely at ease, just like I’ve just had a hot spring bath…” Prince Fu said, radiant and excited.

Zhu Nan chuckled obsequiously, “That’s exactly the feeling! This old servant felt the same way when the Young Lord transformed him last time. Afterwards, this old servant felt his Physique getting better day by day, and his mind became much clearer, not as muddled as before…”

“Haha, hahahahaha… It seems my archery skills will definitely improve further!” Prince Fu laughed heartily.

“That’s natural! With Your Highness’s current level, you are already capable of self-preservation, and even more so in the future! The Young Lord is truly formidable…” Zhu Nan shifted the topic to Long Yuan.

Prince Fu suddenly realized, quickly looked at Long Yuan beside him, and with a face full of smiles, said, “Ninth Son, you have rendered such great service. What reward do you wish for? Whatever you ask for, I will give it to you!!!”

“Father, I don’t want any reward. It’s just that Mother passed away years ago without enjoying much happiness. If I could erect a memorial tablet for her in this Residence and elevate her status, then I would be content!” Long Yuan said.

Prince Fu clapped his head upon hearing this and exclaimed, “Look at my memory! You don’t need to worry about Consort Long. I will certainly rectify her name. She is my most legitimate primary wife!!!”

“In that case, I thank Father in advance!” Long Yuan smiled.
