Evil Infant's Advantage, Luo Feng's Shock!

Listening to Asura Venerable's words, Chu Yun felt a warmth in his heart.

He wasn't alone. Even though the Empress's faction had many connections, he still had people supporting him from behind.

The Shi Family, as the foremost family within the Great Xia Dynasty, was not weaker than any other power.

Even the Tianzhou Divine Sect, which claimed to be the foremost sect in the dynasty, didn't dare to say they had absolute confidence in defeating the Shi Family.

At most, it would be a fifty-fifty match.

"Mother Consort, Uncle, I understand."

"If there's anything I need, I'll tell you," Chu Yun said.

Chu Yun chatted with the two for a short while before leaving the palace with Luo Feng and returning to his own residence.

Inside the house.

"You're saying someone offered a Nirvana Realm Evil Infant just to meet me?"

Chu Yun looked at Luo Feng with some surprise.

Luo Feng said seriously, "Your Highness, to be precise, it was to meet Xiao Yan."

"But this message was released by Misty Rain Pavilion, and it was anonymous, so we don't know yet who spent such a fortune."

After hearing this, Chu Yun touched his chin and pondered, "Can't the Great Xia Shadow Guards find out?"

"Your Highness, Misty Rain Pavilion has too many visitors daily. Even if the Shadow Guards wanted to investigate, they wouldn't know where to start."

"However, in my opinion, anyone who can offer a Nirvana Realm Evil Infant as a meeting gift must have a very high status, and even their cultivation realm must be absolutely not low!"

"It's highly likely to be a Venerable Realm expert, or someone closely related to a Venerable Realm expert."

"Within the Imperial City, the most suspicious individuals, in my estimation, are likely the Prime Minister, the Imperial Advisor, or... the Crown Prince," Luo Feng said.

Chu Yun's pupils gradually showed a serious and interested expression. "This is getting interesting."

"If that's the case, then I really want to go and meet this person."

Luo Feng immediately advised, "Your Highness, I'm worried this might be a trap?"

"What if someone wants to deal with Xiao Yan? Then if Your Highness goes, you'll be putting yourself in danger."

Chu Yun smiled faintly. "It's fine. As long as my own strength is sufficient, there won't be any danger."

"Commander Luo, can I trust you?"

Chu Yun suddenly looked at him with a smile.

Luo Feng looked confused, not understanding the meaning behind Chu Yun's words.

"Your Highness, I was personally ordered by His Majesty to personally protect Your Highness's safety. Your Highness can completely trust me."

Chu Yun explained, "I'm not talking about that."

"I mean, can I truly trust you?"

"If you are truly willing to help me wholeheartedly, then I will let you in on some of my secrets."

"However, you should also understand what you should do after knowing my secrets?"

Luo Feng understood Chu Yun's implication.

If he wanted to become Chu Yun's core confidant, he would have to keep Chu Yun's secrets for him.

"This..."

Luo Feng appeared hesitant at this moment.

Although he protected Chu Yun with all his might, he was still the commander of the Great Xia Shadow Guards, directly under the Emperor's command.

"Commander Luo, if you are hesitant, I won't force you."

"However, if I go to the appointment next, I won't be able to bring you along," Chu Yun said directly.

Luo Feng listened to Chu Yun's words and after careful consideration, said, "Your Highness, as the commander of the Shadow Guards, I cannot betray His Majesty."

"But if Your Highness has some matters that you temporarily do not wish to disclose, then Luo Feng can delay reporting the news."

Chu Yun smiled.

He knew that Luo Feng had agreed.

As the commander of the Shadow Guards, he naturally could not disobey the imperial order. This was the greatest concession he could offer.

Delaying the report. As for the duration of the delay, it was vague; it could be a day, or it could be a year.

If you can't find the book by searching the title, you can try searching for the author, maybe the name has been changed!

"Good."

"Come in, both of you."

As Chu Yun's voice fell, Venerable Wan Lei and Sky Demoness entered from outside the door.

"Your Highness."

Venerable Wan Lei performed a bow, while the Sky Demoness casually sat down beside him, showing no pretense of politeness.

"Wan Lei, Commander Luo Feng, please have a seat," Chu Yun said, unbothered, looking at the two of them.

After they were seated, Chu Yun spoke, "The other party has made their offer through the Misty Rain Pavilion, so tonight, we will go to meet them."

"At that time, Commander Luo Feng, you will deliver my message. Naturally, we will decide the meeting location."

"Wan Lei will stay by my side to prevent any unforeseen circumstances."

"As for Miss Yu, where would you like to go?" Chu Yun asked the Sky Demoness with interest after arranging everything.

"Where do you want me to go?" the Sky Demoness retorted.

"The Crown Prince's mansion." Chu Yun's words were astonishing.

Upon hearing this, Luo Feng's expression changed, and he immediately said, "Your Highness, I believe this matter needs to be changed."

"Let Wan Lei deliver the message, and as for protecting Your Highness's safety, please leave that to me."

"And sending Miss Yu to the Crown Prince's mansion, won't that be too dangerous?"

Luo Feng meant no disrespect. From his perspective, Chu Yun's safety was paramount.

How could he possibly feel at ease with Wan Lei protecting Chu Yun?

Chu Yun smiled calmly and looked at Wan Lei, "Alright, it's come to this, there's no need to hide anymore."

"Show them what you've got."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Venerable Wan Lei responded. Immediately, an unstoppable aura of a Venerable Realm expert emanated from within him, spreading throughout the entire room.

"A Venerable level expert!!!"

"You! You're in the Venerable Realm?!"

Luo Feng's face drastically changed, his expression filled with utter shock, after sensing Venerable Wan Lei's aura.

What a joke!

The person he had been interacting with all this time was actually a Venerable!

What's more, this Venerable was fiercely loyal to their Highness and obeyed his every command!

This was truly surreal.

"I apologize for the previous concealment; it was unavoidable," Venerable Wan Lei said.

"Commander Luo Feng, Wan Lei is my subordinate. No one knows of his existence, not even my mother or my uncle. They don't know that I have a hidden Venerable by my side."

"I hope this matter does not get leaked."

"With him by my side, I can basically handle most unexpected situations. With him here, you can deliver the message with peace of mind, without worrying about my safety at all," Chu Yun said to him earnestly.

Hearing this, Luo Feng's heart remained unsettled.

The shock on his face had not yet subsided as he desperately tried to process everything before him.

A Venerable!

His Highness Chu Yun actually had a personal guardian in the Venerable Realm.

Most importantly, this person was not from the royal family, nor from the Shi family; he was a trusted subordinate of His Highness himself.

What kind of charisma... could make a Venerable Realm expert so loyal!

Luo Feng realized that he was increasingly unable to see through this Ninth Prince.

He had only recently returned, and his influence and background seemed weak. Although he had the Shi family behind him, their roots were not in the Imperial City.

Looking at him alone, his foundation within the Imperial City was too shallow, and he knew very few people. He was also the weakest among the princes and had the fewest retainers.

But after discovering Venerable Wan Lei's true cultivation today, Luo Feng realized that this Ninth Prince was incredibly good at hiding and was extremely steady!

Before he had absolute certainty, this Ninth Prince showed nothing, giving people the misleading impression that he was ordinary.

However, having a personal guardian in the Venerable Realm by his side was already beyond the reach of most powerful figures in the Imperial City.
