110: Chapter 110 White Lotus Sect

Before Qin Xiao could set off for Yun Province, Wei Jingjiang suddenly came to visit.

"Brother Ximen, long time no see. How have you been recently?"

In the Jiaofang Division, Wei Jingjiang asked, looking at the contented Qin Xiao.

"Very well. With beauties by my side every day, I've forgotten all about home."

Qin Xiao said to Wei Jingjiang with a smile. During this time, he had been spending his days surrounded by beauties, drinking tea and listening to music, living an incredibly carefree life.

The key was that he didn't have to pay!

"That's good. I heard Brother Ximen has been looking for a Heavenly Spiritual Plant recently. I happen to have one, so I'll give it to Brother Ximen today."

Wei Jingjiang took out a jade box and handed it to Qin Xiao.

Qin Xiao's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise upon hearing this. It seemed this Prince Jing paid him quite a bit of attention.

"I cannot accept a reward without merit. May I ask what Your Highness Prince Jing needs me to do?"

Qin Xiao did not take the jade box, but instead asked softly. There was no such thing as a free lunch in this world, and a debt of gratitude was the hardest to repay. He didn't want to owe anyone for nothing.

"There is indeed something I'd like to trouble Brother Ximen with. I'd like to ask Brother Ximen to escort His Highness the Crown Prince to Yong Province. In twenty days, it will be the 500th birthday of the Crown Princess's grandfather. His Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess need to go and offer their congratulations to the old master, and they require an Yin Yang Realm expert as a guard."

Seeing that Qin Xiao didn't directly accept the Heavenly Spiritual Plant, Wei Jingjiang slowly revealed his purpose.

"Is that so!"

Qin Xiao pondered for a moment, then readily agreed: "Alright, I accept. Just inform me when you're ready to depart!"

"I'll trouble Brother Ximen with the safety of His Highness the Crown Prince!"

Wei Jingjiang rejoiced inwardly when Qin Xiao agreed... One day later!

The Prince's residence is located on the most prosperous street next to the Imperial City, covering an area of several thousand acres, about one-fifth the size of the Imperial Palace.

The buildings within the residence are luxurious, filled with countless rare treasures, and a Formation is even carved within, capable of resisting attacks from Yin Yang Realm Martial Artists.

Qin Xiao arrived at this magnificent Prince's residence early in the morning and met His Highness the Crown Prince of Great Wei.

He wore a bright yellow brocade robe embroidered with golden Dragons, stood eight feet tall, possessed a Dragon-like bearing and Phoenix-like grace, and a natural temperament, appearing like a gentle and refined Young Master Zhong.

However, every subtle movement he made exuded an air of nobility.

"Tiancheng greets Senior Ximen. We will trouble Senior with our safety from now on."

Crown Prince Wei Tiancheng immediately stepped forward to greet Qin Xiao, not putting on any arrogant airs, but instead speaking very politely.

Although he was the Crown Prince, an Yin Yang Realm Martial Artist was, after all, a hegemon of a region, and he had to treat them with respect.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince is too kind!"

Qin Xiao cupped his hands and replied politely. This world valued strength above all else, not status.

Qin Xiao's strength was greater than the other party's, and his Realm was higher. Even if the other party had an unusual status, they still had to be polite to him.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Wei Tiancheng walked up to a woman and introduced her with a smile, "Senior Ximen, this is my Crown Princess Gu Yuxi."

"Yuxi greets Senior~"

Gu Yuxi slightly bent at the waist to bow to Qin Xiao, her voice as melodious as an oriole.

Qin Xiao also turned to look at the Crown Princess. He saw that she wore a thin veil over her face, concealing her beautiful features, leaving only a pair of bright and captivating eyes.

She wore a purple palace dress, which looked very luxurious and noble. Her figure was graceful and elegant, and she carried herself with dignity, clearly a rare beauty.

"Greetings, Crown Princess!"

Qin Xiao nodded and responded softly.

After Wei Tiancheng gave Qin Xiao a brief introduction, they set off.

The entourage included over a dozen luxurious beast carriages, more than a hundred Innate Realm guards, a dozen maids, and as many as six Magic Power Realm Martial Artists.

From this, one could see the importance placed on Wei Tiancheng's safety.

Once all personnel were present.

The convoy slowly set off, heading towards Yong Province.

Along the way, Qin Xiao Cultivated inside the beast carriage and did not come out.

After ten days of travel, the convoy finally entered Yong Province, stopping in a large city to rest for the night.

Qin Xiao also got out of the beast carriage and wandered around nearby, arriving in front of an ancient inn.

A sign hung at the entrance of the inn, reading "Yunlai Inn."

Qin Xiao walked into the inn, which was already full of people.

He found an empty seat and casually ordered some wine and dishes.

Soon, the wine and dishes arrived.

Qin Xiao ate his food while listening to the conversations around him.

"I heard Lin Hai City has been captured by the White Lotus Sect rebels. Many people died, and the refugees are all fleeing to other cities. Maybe it won't be long before they reach our Lietu City."

"It's said that there are Magic Power Realm experts among those rebels, and the City Lord of Lin Hai City was killed by one of them."

"Didn't they say the imperial court had already dispatched a large army to suppress the rebellion? I heard it was the Black Armored Army. I'm sure the rebellion will be put down soon!"

"Hehe, brother, you're thinking too simply. It's said that the Black Armored Army is being repeatedly defeated on the front lines by the White Lotus Sect rebels, suffering heavy losses. Instead, the rebel army is growing stronger."

"Are you saying that even the imperial court's army might not be able to defeat these rebels?"

"It's not 'might not be able to,' I think this White Lotus Sect came prepared. The imperial court reacted too slowly. Who knows, maybe one day the rebels will attack our Lietu City?"

"Alas, tell me, if these rebels attack, what should we do?"

"Why don't we join the White Lotus Sect? Maybe there's a chance to survive."

"No, I heard the White Lotus Sect is an evil cult. They burn, kill, and plunder, committing all sorts of evil. We cannot join them."

Qin Xiao listened to the conversation of the people in the inn, and a thought flashed through his mind. The White Lotus Sect was actually stirring up a rebellion in Yong Province.

And at such a time, His Highness the Crown Prince of Great Wei would still come to Yong Province to offer birthday greetings. This was a bit unusual.

Although the White Lotus Sect caused rebellions every year, most of the time they were minor disturbances and were quickly suppressed.

However, a situation like the current one, where the imperial army was repeatedly defeated, was rare. It seemed the White Lotus Sect was preparing a big move, no longer just playing house like before.

Are they probing for something?

Or do they already know some inside information?

Otherwise, why would they be so bold?

Perhaps they have inferred that the Wei family's Old Ancestor doesn't have much Lifespan left, but they aren't certain, so they plan to test it out.

But why would the Great Wei Dynasty send the Crown Prince to Yong Province? Aren't they afraid of him being killed by the White Lotus Sect?

Are they fishing?

If so, wouldn't that mean he was also being used as a pawn, calculated into their scheme?

Thinking of this, Qin Xiao felt a surge of displeasure, and a hint of coldness appeared in his eyes...
