Shen Longxuan slowly opened his eyes and said indifferently: "You have to at least let me know what it is about, right?""So you"re saying that Young Master agreed?" The masked woman asked happily.
As expected, they were all old foxes, Shen Longxuan did not reply, only looking at the three of them, without a trace of emotion in his eyes, not many people could do such a thing.
In the end, masked woman was the first to compromise, and said: "Before we speak of this matter, could young master tell me your name?
"I know that Bu Yu is not your real name. If we are not able to reach an agreement on this point, then there is no need for me to say anymore!"
"The name is just a code name. Is it really that important?" Shen Longxuan said indifferently.
"Of course it"s important. Sometimes, a person"s name can replace the name of a race, and some names can go on forever.
However, there are some names that can remain in this world for ten thousand years, and even those who call themselves those names are also implicated, so is it important for you to say a name? "
masked woman"s words confused Shen Longxuan. What kind of theory was this?
"I did not say the name Bu Yu. I will not change my name, I am Shen Longxuan!"
Hearing Shen Longxuan"s affirmation, the three of them had different expressions. Princess Dongfang covered her mouth in shock, her eyes swaying as though it was hard to choose between them.
On the other hand, Dongfang Shuo looked relieved, as if he was relieved of a burden, while masked woman"s eyes revealed a look of shock, as he looked at Shen Longxuan pa.s.sionately.
There was a long silence in the room as everyone fell silent!
"Youngest junior brother, I have good news, you guys …" Ren Laifeng pushed the door and entered the room, he swallowed his words halfway through.
His voice also broke the silence, "Ha, it"s so lively here. Big Thunder, come in quickly. Everyone from the Princess" Mansion is here. It"s a good opportunity to discuss how to deal with the external enemies!"
After Ren Laifeng and Gan Dalei entered the room, they stood beside Shen Longxuan with a guarded expression.
"Alright, since we"re all here, I would like to ask Young Master Shen to help us safeguard the Imperial Jade Seal!" masked woman calmly replied, "Tomorrow, the Imperial Palace will certainly be in chaos.
We hope that you can bring the Imperial Jade Seal and the princess away from here temporarily. Even if you are a Shen Family, you should know the history of the Country of Illusory Moon.
Now that the Dongfang Family is in a mess, it is the chance for your Shen Family to rise up. You must have come here for this matter, why not take this opportunity to take back the Shen Dynasty? "
Shen Longxuan"s heart was thumping hard, what was the meaning of this? Could it be that his intentions were already seen through, or was the Dongfang Family trying to trap him?
Humph, a real man should have something to do or not to do. This matter has already been decided. Whether it is a trap or not, it is still an opportunity for me.
With the Imperial Jade Seal, as long as they were able to kill and s.n.a.t.c.h everything, it would be possible to take back the Country of Illusory Moon in one fell swoop.
"Why should I believe you? Is it not fair for me to risk my life just because of your words? "
Seeing that Shen Longxuan did not reject, the masked woman took out the palm-sized Imperial Jade Seal and gave it to him, "You will get your reward if you want to pay, and if you want to pay, then you will get your rewards, you will agree!"
Shen Longxuan finally extended his hand and received the Imperial Jade Seal. This was something that belonged to the Shen Family since a long time ago.
"Shen Family and Dongfang Family are already opposites, and you still want me to protect their princess, do you think that"s possible?"
"You will. Xin Rui is the Emperor"s favorite child, so aside from the Imperial Jade Seal, she has to personally go to open the door to the treasury.
"The treasury has acc.u.mulated for a thousand years, enough to rebuild an empire. The princes are also fighting over this treasury. I think this is what you want as well."
As if she had calculated every step, masked woman continued to speak, "The treasury is only opened on the night of the fifteenth day of the eighth month every year, using the power of the moonlight.
There are still twenty days. In this period of time, I believe that you will protect the princess well. Alright, I have said everything that needs to be said.
The masked woman and Dongfang Shuo left together. Shen Longxuan was skeptical of the masked woman"s words, and suddenly felt that he was not suited to this kind of palace battle. It was simply too tiring.
The reason he wanted to take back the Country of Illusory Moon was not because he was greedy or flourishing. He wanted to find their home so that he could pursue his dreams later on.
His dream was to reclaim the glory of his ancestors as the martial cultivator, taking back the Country of Illusory Moon was only the first step, to let his family be at peace, to let his ancestors be at ease, and the next step was to continue his ancestors" path, and become the pinnacle of Martial arts.
The next day, the four of them left early. Princess Dongfang put on his men"s clothes again, this was obviously for the sake of not causing too much trouble.
Ren Laifeng and Gan Dalei both returned to their respective countries, while Guan Zhangxing returned to his own residence for the time being.
Watching the four of them leave, masked woman and Dongfang Shuo stood there for a long time. As if they had made some sort of decision, they turned and left.
Scenes like this could be seen everywhere within the imperial palace. The entire imperial palace was in a state of decline.
Shen Longxuan knew that all of this would become a storm as he and the Princess Dongfang travelled together. A true storm was about to start.
On the first day of their journey, the First Prince and Third Prince had joined forces to search for the whereabouts of the princess and had started a wild a.s.sault.
After a few waves of people were annihilated by Shen Longxuan, the two princes became furious and sent people to seal off the border. They even called for the imperial guards as princes to seal off the border.
It was so much so that they were furious at the Prince who was trying to escape, and so many of them were dragged out and killed one after another.
After ten days, the two had already traveled several thousand kilometers from the Imperial Palace. Shen Longxuan decided not to leave and waited here for the Shen Family.
Because Shen Longxuan had made an agreement with his father at the time, that they would meet up at the palace a month later, and now that half a month had pa.s.sed, he believed that they had most likely set off already.
At this moment, the two of them were sitting in a tavern in Qingshan City, eating. All the news that entered their ears concerned the Imperial Palace.
"Do you know? The palace is in chaos, the First Prince and Third Prince have completely taken control of the situation! "
"Your news is outdated. Right now, the emperor is on the verge of death, and the strongest Eighth Prince has already admitted defeat under the cooperation of the two of them.
After being injured, they ran out of the palace. Just this morning, the First Prince and the Third Prince were at loggerheads.
"Looks like the situation is really chaotic. We commoners just need to watch. No matter who is in power, it would be good for the emperor to let us live a good life."
Shen Longxuan only believed 30% of these rumors, even if the time was right, he would bring the Shen Family into the palace.
However, the Princess Dongfang opposite him had been staring at him without eating nor speaking a word. During this period of time, Shen Longxuan had been protecting and running away from him.
It could be said that he had fulfilled his promise, and did not cause her any harm. She was shocked that Shen Longxuan"s fighting strength had increased by a lot, and at the same time, worried that the two would meet in battle.
"Shen Longxuan, will we become enemies? If we are opposing each other, will you kill me? " she asked slowly.
Shen Longxuan thought about it, he had already seen through the current situation, and had his own plan. Although it was not perfect, it was still a waste for him to think too much into it.
"You are only a victim. I believe that the door to the treasury does not need to be opened by you. All of this is to protect you, ultimately because you are innocent.
"So, when I go back, you can live here!"
