Half an hour later, Gu Yan came to the courtyard, feeling very depressed. He had never encountered anything like this before.

The oldest, Zeng Yi, was dizzy and sticky; the youngest, Zeng Meng, was dizzy and nervous; and the middle one, Zeng Xuan, was dizzy and sensitive...

It really broadened his horizons, but since things had come to this point, he still had to share the burden once, otherwise he would feel uncomfortable. Although he could bear it, he was unwilling to.

While dressing, he suddenly sensed the presence of a Spirit Sea Realm cultivator in the City Lord's Mansion and immediately released his divine sense towards it.

"Your Highness, you have traveled thousands of miles to the borderlands. You must be tired."

"Bring tea."

Zeng Feibiao sat on the main hall and summoned maids to serve him.

Prince Ning waved his hand. He was dressed in a purple python robe, and his middle-aged face carried a hint of the majesty of a superior, but his expression was somewhat anxious at this moment.

"Lord Zeng, you previously mentioned that a mysterious expert at the Forging Platform Realm resides here and wishes to discuss important matters with me?"

His voice was deep and excited. A Foundation Establishment Realm expert was enough to change a dynasty, expanding its territory by another week without any problem. If he could recruit such an expert, he might even be able to go back and compete for the throne.

Zeng Feibiao felt a surge of pride upon seeing the prince in such a state. He had sent his three youngest and most beautiful daughters there a few days ago, and he figured the prince had already slept with them.

He still has a lot of confidence in his daughters, especially since they are sisters and so young.

"Your Highness, that person has a strange temper. Let's wait until he comes to see us when he has free time. I think we can't hide from his divine sense even if we're here."

Zeng Feibiao advised him that he didn't want to bother that person. Putting aside everything else, he would slap him into the ground at the drop of a hat, and no one could stand that. He still wanted to cultivate a good relationship with his daughter.

Suddenly, Prince Ning squinted and sensed his presence, and was immediately startled.

"How did your cultivation level improve so quickly?"

Five years ago, their cultivation levels were evenly matched, but now he is subtly overshadowed. Keep in mind, he enjoys royal treatment.

Zeng Feibiao took a sip of tea with an animated expression before slowly saying, "Your Highness may not know, but that person is a master alchemist who can refine the Condensation Liquid Pill."

Prince Ning was shocked again, his breathing became rapid, and he thought to himself that he must keep this senior in the Great Jin no matter what.

Whoosh!

A golden figure appeared at the doorway, hands behind his back, and walked in step by step.

Zeng Feibiao stood up instantly, showing no surprise at the situation. He clasped his hands in greeting and said, "Xiao Biao greets Senior."

The Prince of Ning reacted so quickly that he didn't even know what had happened. Wasn't he just a teenager?

Wait, when did he get here? I can't sense his presence.

Could that expert at the Forging Platform Realm really be this young man?

In a flash, a thousand thoughts crossed his mind. At this moment, he stood up and clasped his hands in greeting: "Kim Myung, on behalf of the royal family, greets you, senior."

Gu Yan nodded slightly and sat down on a chair to the side.

"Senior, this is Prince Ning. He can answer any questions you may have about the royal family."

Zeng Feibiao came to his side, snatched the teapot from the maid, and poured tea while speaking.

Prince Ning was somewhat speechless at his eagerness, but still inquired about it.

"Does the senior have any doubts about my royal family?"

Gu Yan took a sip of tea and asked calmly, "I would like to know about your Great Jin and Princess Jin Yue."

Upon hearing this, Prince Ning's face lit up with joy. Princess Jin Yue of the Great Jin Dynasty was renowned far and wide, but what was even more outstanding was her cultivation aptitude, possessing the talent of two spiritual veins.

He immediately explained her situation in detail, emphasizing two key words.

unmarried!

Yes, he felt that the other party was inquiring about this matter because they wanted to become Daoist partners with the princess.

Gu Yan nodded after hearing this. He liked princesses and other privileged women the most. He then said, "I want to conquer the world and have chosen her as the Queen of the Great Jin. Can you contact her?"

Upon hearing this, Prince Ning's face immediately darkened. He clearly hadn't expected this outcome. Wasn't this just using the princess as a puppet to further seize control of the Great Jin?

"Senior, don't think that just because you're at the Forging Platform Realm, you can do whatever you want within the dynasty's territory. Every dynasty has its own foundation that allows it to stand firm."

He spoke in a deep voice, surprisingly not so afraid, but rather calm.

Gu Yan narrowed his golden eyes slightly, somewhat surprised. This result was unexpected. Could it be that these dynasties really had cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Realm?

"Senior, as far as I know, there is no Forging Platform Realm in the Great Jin territory. Although the royal family has many powerful old kings who are in seclusion and do not concern themselves with worldly affairs, this major hurdle is not so easy to overcome."

Furthermore, the major powers do not allow them to break through.

Zeng Feibiao stood beside Gu Yan and told her what he knew.

When Prince Ning saw him betray his master for personal gain, he wasn't too surprised. Anyone would have made the same choice, but he couldn't. As the king of the Great Jin, he had a responsibility to protect everything about the dynasty.

He then said coldly, "Although Lord Zeng has lived in the borderlands for a long time, he has a wide range of information and has thoroughly studied the affairs of the major dynasties."

"My esteemed senior, our paths diverge, and we cannot work together. Please seek another capable advisor; I will not entertain you."

After saying that, he got up to leave.

Gu Yan's figure flickered, appearing before him like a ghost, blocking his path, and he sneered, "You want to leave? Did I agree to that?"

Upon seeing this, Prince Ning retreated repeatedly, looking somewhat flustered, but having held the throne for a long time, he possessed some experience.

“Senior, this is the Great Jin Dynasty. If you kill me, you will be making an enemy of the entire dynasty. Even if you are at the Forging Platform Realm, my royal family has the power to stop you.”

His expression was very serious, as if he were stating a fact.

Gu Yan gave him a deep look with her golden eyes and then stepped aside.

Upon seeing this, Prince Ning breathed a sigh of relief, cold sweat pouring down his forehead. He quickly walked outside, while secretly circulating his cultivation power, his dantian spiritual sea churning endlessly, ready to make a move at any moment.

Seeing this, Zeng Feibiao was about to stop him. After all, things had come to this point, and it was no longer easy for him to stay in Dajin. He could only follow this young senior.

Just as he was about to make his move, four black jade nails appeared in Gu Yanru's palm.

Whoosh!

In an instant, the blade pierced through Ning Wang's limbs, causing him to collapse to the ground, his face contorted in pain as he growled:

Ah~

"If you dare kill me, the Ancestor will personally take action to kill you."

Gu Yan reached out and pulled him back, saying calmly, "It's alright, I never intended to kill you anyway."

He placed his palm on Prince Ning's forehead, and golden light shone brightly from between his brows, transforming into golden rays that directly invaded the other's sea of ​​consciousness.

Prince Ning's face turned deathly pale and contorted in a grimace, but he was unable to utter a sound and his body began to convulse.

Upon seeing this, Zeng Feibiao quickly ran out and ordered no one to approach, personally guarding the place. He had decided to stick with this senior brother for life.
