Meeting Shi Dong Again

Moon Worship Sacred Land is located on the Moon Worship Mountain Range to the west of the Qianyuan Divine Dynasty. Since Gu Changge was traveling alone this time, he easily reached Moon Worship Sacred Land by controlling his flying spirit sword.

"Stop! Who goes there? What is your purpose for coming to our Moon Worship Sacred Land?"

Two core deacons standing at Moon Worship Sacred Land's entrance shouted as they saw Gu Changge approaching.

"I am a Prince of the Qianyuan Divine Dynasty."

Gu Changge took out his identity token as the eleventh Prince of the Qianyuan Divine Dynasty.

"So it's the esteemed Prince of the Qianyuan Divine Dynasty. Forgive our oversight."

Another deacon recognized Gu Changge's identity. As a descendant of the Five Emperors and a major power in the Southern Region, he immediately spoke with utmost respect.

"May I ask what brings Your Highness to our Moon Worship Sacred Land?"

The other deacon respectfully inquired.

"I wish to see your Sacred Land's Holy Son."

Gu Changge stated.

"So that's it. I'll go inform the Holy Son immediately."

The first deacon said, then ran towards the main peak of Moon Worship Mountain Range.

Half an hour later.

"May I ask what business Your Highness has with me?"

At this moment, Shi Dong emerged from his cultivation cave and arrived at the outermost mountain gate of Moon Worship Sacred Land. Gu Changge had already been waiting for a long time.

"Wait, is that you?"

Shi Dong hadn't seen Gu Changge when he first spoke, but upon seeing him, Shi Dong exclaimed in shock.

"What? Are you surprised to see me?"

Gu Changge said calmly.

"It's you, my benefactor! I was just wondering where I could find you to repay your kindness, and I never imagined you would be such a distinguished Prince of the Qianyuan Divine Dynasty."

Shi Dong quickly explained, seeing Gu Changge's misunderstanding.

"Oh? Since you wish to repay me, why not grant me a request."

Gu Changge said at this moment.

"What request?"

Shi Dong asked.

"It's very simple, but it cannot be overheard by others. Come closer, and I'll tell you quietly."

Gu Changge said.

Thus, Shi Dong leaned in close to Gu Changge.

Gu Changge quietly told Shi Dong the purpose of his visit: to help him establish an informant within Moon Worship Sacred Land.

"This..."

Shi Dong hesitated, as this request was rather difficult. If the higher-ups of Moon Worship Sacred Land found out, he would surely face severe consequences.

"What? Didn't you want to repay me? Can't even fulfill this small request?"

Gu Changge chuckled lightly and said.

A look of hesitation appeared on Shi Dong's face. He then gritted his teeth, deciding he couldn't be an ungrateful person, and said, "Alright, I promise. But after I help you with this, we'll be even."

"No problem."

Gu Changge said with ease.

"Ding, congratulations to the Host for successfully getting the Son of Heaven's Mandate, Shi Dong, to work for the Host, damaging the Son of Heaven's Mandate's image. Shi Dong's Destiny Value has decreased by 200. The Host has been rewarded with 2000 System Points."

Gu Changge smiled in satisfaction upon hearing the system's notification.

This time, by making this request to Shi Dong, regardless of how Shi Dong acted – whether he betrayed trust or helped others – it would damage his image as the Son of Heaven's Mandate. The Heavenly Dao would withdraw some of its blessings upon Shi Dong, which was reflected in his Destiny Value.

Then, Gu Changge piloted his spirit sword and flew back to the imperial city of the Qianyuan Divine Dynasty.

"The informant mission for Moon Worship Sacred Land is resolved. Next is the Liuli Divine Dynasty. Ningyan, you'll accompany me to the imperial city of the Liuli Divine Dynasty."

Upon returning to the Prince's Mansion, Gu Changge said.

"Yes."

Yu Ningyan replied.

Immediately, he took Yu Ningyan and entered the White Jade Chariot, crafted from the Emperor-grade spiritual material White Emperor Jade. The chariot was pulled by three imposing Qi Condensation Realm Level 1 Qilin Beasts, and they set off towards the Liuli Divine Dynasty, located to the east of the Qianyuan Divine Dynasty.

This time, unlike Gu Changge's previous trip to Moon Worship Sacred Land, they were not obstructed. Just by looking at the imposing White Jade Chariot and the three Qilin Beasts, it was clear that this was a young master of noble birth.

The White Jade Chariot, pulled by three Qilin Beasts, landed on the ground within the imperial city of the Liuli Divine Dynasty. Gu Changge and Yu Ningyan stepped out of the chariot.

Due to the ethereal aura and handsome appearance of Gu Changge and Yu Ningyan, they attracted the attention of many people in the crowd.

However, Gu didn't pay attention to these. Instead, he directly took Yu Ningyan and knocked on the residences of the royal family members in the Imperial City. These were all princely mansions where they were enfeoffed as kings or marquises in the Liuli Divine Dynasty.

"Master, let's go to the Qingping Prince's Mansion first. One of my cousins is the young master of the Qingping Prince's Mansion," Yu Ningyan said.

"Alright," Gu Changge replied. He then pulled Yu Ningyan and, guided by her, they arrived at the Qingping Prince's Mansion of the Liuli Divine Dynasty.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

Gu Changge knocked on the mansion's gate.

"Creak—"

The gate opened, revealing a servant.

"I am a princess of the Liuli Divine Dynasty, here to visit the Qingping Prince's Mansion today. I wish to see the second young master of the Qingping Prince's Mansion."

Yu Ningyan presented her identity token.

Seeing the princess's arrival, the servant immediately ran to inform the second young master of the Qingping Prince's Mansion, Yu Qin Hao.

"Cousin? What do you need me for?" Yu Qin Hao asked upon seeing Yu Ningyan.

"This gentleman is... Oh, it's the young master I met at the Quasi-Emperor ruins that day."

Yu Qin Hao recognized Gu Changge's familiar face. After thinking for a moment, he slapped his forehead and exclaimed.

"We've come mainly to ask for your help with something."

Yu Ningyan explained their purpose for visiting the Liuli Divine Dynasty's Imperial City to Yu Qin Hao.

"This... Cousin, it's not that I don't want to help you, but if we're discovered, we'll be charged with treason and beheaded," Yu Qin Hao said hesitantly after hearing Yu Ningyan's request.

"Don't worry, when Changge Hall develops in the future, you will definitely not be shortchanged," Gu Changge said.

He thought about Gu Changge's heroic and mighty display at the Quasi-Emperor ruins that day. He also considered that this was an organization established by the inheritors of a giant force from the Five Emperors, in conjunction with other major powers. He was merely a young master of a princely mansion in the Liuli Divine Dynasty. If he could become an elder in the early stages of Changge Hall's development, wouldn't his value skyrocket several times over?

Yu Qin Hao hesitated for a moment, but ultimately, his heart was moved.

"Alright, Cousin, I agree. You can rest assured and entrust me with the task of establishing informants in the Liuli Divine Dynasty. I will immediately contact the cousins who were with us at the Quasi-Emperor ruins that day and establish a branch of Changge Hall."

"The informant mission in the Liuli Divine Dynasty is complete. Next, we only have the Jade Pool Holy Land left," Gu Changge said.

Thus, Gu Changge first took Yu Ningyan, riding in the White Jade Chariot, back to the Prince's Mansion in the Imperial City of the Qianyuan Divine Dynasty.

Since Gu Changge's mother, Su Yurou, was the Holy Lord of the Jade Pool Holy Land, Gu Changge could complete the informant mission in the Jade Pool Holy Land without anyone's help this time.
