Chapter 200

"...Young Master, you actually care about those two children. Otherwise, you wouldn't have specifically asked me to give them protective gear, fearing that they would get hurt during the attack of the evil demons from outer space."

Looking at the lip movements of Liu Fengchang and Mu Xingji opposite them in their conversation, even though their specific tone of voice could not be heard due to the magic circle, judging from the happy expression on Liu Fengchang's face and the relaxed look on Mu Xingji's face, they were having a very pleasant chat.

Mu Yuze stood there blankly for a long time, so long that the moonlight shone on him.

In the end, Mu Yuze slowly closed the window himself.

The guards standing by looked at their prince like this, and their eyes were quite unfriendly towards everyone in the room.

He had watched the prince grow from a serious little kid to the serious young man he is today.

In his opinion, the fact that Liu Fengchang was favored by the prince must have been due to his good deeds in his previous life - but look at how Liu Fengchang treated the prince!

Not to mention her previous ungrateful behavior, just what happened today was enough for the guards to want to kill Captain Liu Feng with a knife.

After the prince boarded the spirit boat of those people from the lower world, he was still thinking about Liu Fengchang. He even hurried back to take a look at her when he encountered a rare spiritual power storm.

But what about her? What is she doing?

She was in private contact with the prince's half-brother! They were even quite familiar with each other!

It seems like they have contacted each other privately more than once!

And Mu Xingji also had bad intentions! He contacted the Crown Princess privately without telling the Crown Prince that they had a good relationship!

He even sent gifts to those two mortal children! The prince never sent any, so people who didn't know would think he was the children's father!

The guard now felt like his lungs were about to explode.

After seeing that the prince watched for a long time without killing the couple and just gently closed the door, he felt like his brain was going to explode with anger!

But when the prince turned around and saw the sad expression in the prince's eyes, his anger that was about to explode was suppressed again.

When had he ever seen such a proud prince showing such sad emotions?

The guard rarely crossed the line and asked, "Your Highness, are you okay?"

Do you need me to kill that couple? Although Mu Xingji might be a little difficult to kill, the guards with the strength of the Immortal King said that there was no pressure at all.

But Mu Yuze shook his head and said after a long while: "No need, maybe I just misunderstood, let's investigate it first."

Mu Yuze's words made the guard, who was originally eager to try, silent down helplessly, and then he turned his head to look at the closed window.

The emotions in his eyes were quite complicated, including sadness, inquiry and disappointment.

The guard didn't think so much about it. From an angle where Mu Yuze couldn't see, he still gave him a sympathetic look - and at the same time reinforced his own decision to never find a Taoist partner.

Love-brain is so bad that even dogs won’t eat it!

The guard thought about it, and his expression on Mu Yuze's face turned into understanding, respect and blessing.

Mu Yuze didn't know what his guard was thinking. He stared at the window affectionately for a long time, and then finally moved.

The guards who saw Mu Yuze coming to the door of Liu Fengchang thought that their prince was finally going to question Liu Fengchang, but...

"Your Highness, you are back!"

"Well, I encountered a spiritual storm on the way, so I came back first. I will set out again the day after tomorrow morning. How about tonight? Is there anything you need?"

"I'm fine, but Your Highness, are you very tired? Do you need anything to prepare?"

"No need, it's no problem for an immortal."

"That's good, Your Highness, go to bed early. Good night, Your Highness."

"……good evening."

The guard rarely lost control of his expression. He stared with wide eyes at his own prince who was so cowardly that he didn't ask a single question and was coaxed into submission by the other party's perfunctory words of concern.

Even turned around and went back to the room?

Although sitting quietly for a whole night proved that the Crown Prince's heart was not as calm as he imagined, but -

The guard rolled madly and silently on the beam, venting the frustration in his heart.

But unfortunately, he didn't dare to say a single word - especially since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would be soft-hearted towards that little immortal but not towards him.

"But I think I'll at least test the waters when I see Prince Jupiter Ji tomorrow morning."

The guard thought hopefully.

However……

"Prince Mu."

"Young Master Mu."

The two sides just nodded and greeted each other and then there was no movement!

It’s fine that Mu Xingji doesn’t feel guilty, but Your Highness the Crown Prince, why do you act like nothing has happened?

If the guard was not in public with people watching him, he would feel itchy all over and start punching the air.

This is so cowardly! When has our prince ever suffered such cowardice?

The guards just watched their own prince cowardly pretending to know nothing, cowardly boarding the spirit boat of the people from the lower world again, cowardly serving as a mascot at the discussion site, cowardly listening to the people from the lower world ending the meeting, and cowardly returning.

Why are the people in the lower realm blaming each other and delaying the so-called use of human cultivation to fill the space gate?

What does this have to do with their fairy world? If the fairy world accidentally releases the evil demons from outer space, wouldn’t it be so terrifying that the whole world could be demonized?

The guard scoffed at this and didn't really care how the people from the lower world committed suicide. He just wanted to know what was going on with his own prince and why he suddenly became so cowardly.

"Is this love?"

At the ceremony of returning to the fairyland, the guard was thinking absentmindedly.

The cultivators from the lower world were quite sensible. At least they knew to invite them down and then send them off in a friendly manner. Although the priest of Mu Tianmen was very angry at their delaying attitude, Young Master Mu was right. If the cultivators were courting their own destruction, they could not expect them to help them for the rest of their lives.

The guard thought with a blank face, and then he felt a familiar pulling force.

They are finally going back to the fairyland.

The guard thought.

After he returns this time, he will definitely talk to the other guards about the Crown Prince's situation and ask them to be more careful when they are on duty in the future.

——You can see the destructive power of a love-brained person by looking at His Majesty.

All of his secret guards were wiped out, and not a single female guard survived because the Queen Mother was jealous.

Even if they are slaves, they want to survive!

The guard planned for His Highness to return to his palace, so he took over his shift and explained the current situation to his colleagues, and also asked several female colleagues to transfer to other positions as soon as possible.

But when the guard had just returned to the palace after following his prince to ask about Liu Fengchang's well-being, he had not yet had time to change shifts when he heard his prince say.

"Diwei, go investigate the Crown Princess, regardless of your authority."

Mu Yuze's eyes, which had been overly calm during this period, finally began to waver, as if they would turn into a tsunami at any time and drown everyone who was related to this matter.

"Once you find a problem, report it to me as soon as possible. If someone blocks your conclusion after you reach it..."

Mu Yuze spoke with murderous intent, which was rare.

"Kill them, don't talk about it!"

"Yes! Your Highness!"

The ground guard bowed his head and responded: Woo woo woo, that’s great that Your Highness is not lovesick!

*

However, Diwei originally thought that this was just a simple investigation. After all, Liu Fengchang was just a small earth immortal. What problems could there be?

Ju Xingji is still the young master of Mu Tianmen, so his investigation is a little more difficult, but what about Liu Fengchang?

What difficulty could she have?

——But when investigating her, the difficulty really increased.

Be it her former friends or the witnesses who witnessed the day she met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, all of them resigned or retired. The housekeeper she finally found in the villa only knew that Chief Liu Feng was a willow spirit.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince saw the Crown Princess standing in front of this window. He looked at her for a long time. Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not say anything at that time, this must be love at first sight."

The butler pointed to a window and said with great emotion.

The ground guards who came to ask questions: ...

This kind of thing seems really ironic to them now.

The person I fell in love with at first sight was having an affair with my half-brother.

Although this information has some value, it is not much. After all, where Liu Fengchang went, when he arrived at Muxing Ji's side, and when he was picked up by his own prince, these kinds of things are all gossips in the fairy world eight hundred times.

Even multiple versions were derived. After all, it was rare for a tit to become a phoenix on a tree branch, especially since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was still in love and had no intention of playing around at all.

However, the information began to be interrupted from here. No matter how they explored, all the information afterwards was deliberately hidden, and they didn't even find out the slightest clue.

"…Your Highness, that's exactly what happened. Those who hid the information were quite familiar with our methods, and they specifically targeted the investigation methods of the Earth Guards, even some of the newly updated exploration instruments."

At this point, the Earth Guard paused and said, "So we suspect that these people are most likely from within the Northern Sky Emperor Palace."

All the Earth Guards have signed a life and death contract, that they are not allowed to disclose anything about the Beitian Imperial Palace. Let’s put it this way, once they leave the Beitian Imperial Palace, all the Earth Guards will become mute and won’t be able to write.

Therefore, things like the updating of the magical instruments of the earth guards will never be revealed to outsiders.

The magical weapons of the Earth Guards were even made by themselves.

Eliminate the possibility of leaks at the root.

——It also allows colleagues from other groups to know at a glance that the person sitting opposite them is a colleague.

"What information are other earth guards hiding?"

When Mu Yuze heard about this, his first reaction was shock, but he locked on the candidate at the last second.

——There are only four masters in the entire Beitian Imperial Palace. There were three before marrying Liu Fengchang. Apart from him, isn’t there only the Beitian Emperor and Empress?

But Mu Yuze really didn't know why the Emperor and Queen of Beitian wanted to hide this from him.

But what he was sure of was that this was definitely not a good thing for him.

Can……

Mu Yuze thought about how Liu Fengchang was laughing happily that day, and how Mu Xingji was laughing and scolding with a rich expression across from him...

Mu Yuze didn't kill them both on the spot that day because his heart was filled with mixed feelings of love and hate, and he himself was capable of such complexity.

He has love for Liu Fengchang and family affection for Mu Xingji. He doesn't want to hurt either of them, and he is trying very hard to make them coexist peacefully.

——But they were coexisting peacefully, why should she hide it from him?

Is their relationship a shameful one?

He had been probing quite obviously these past few days, but they had all avoided the subject.

Heartbroken, Mu Yuze finally made up his mind to get to the bottom of the matter.

Unfortunately, he encountered Waterloo at the beginning. His parents also knew about this and even helped to conceal it...

Then there was no need for him to show mercy. A figure flashed through Mu Yuze's mind.

He originally didn't want to let this man out. After all, if he hurt the enemy, he would lose eight hundred of his own. But at this moment, only this man could break the deadlock.

“…You haven’t been exposed.”

Mu Yuze looked at the expression of his secret guard and asked seriously.

The ground guards nodded and said, "Your Highness, we were very careful. After we realized that the defense was specifically targeting the ground guards, we retreated directly. We also specially arranged a few scapegoats to test them, but they didn't find us."

This made Mu Yuze nod his head, and then he said in a low voice: "It's good that we didn't alert the enemy, but you can't go."

The earth guards were a little anxious. Their prince wouldn't want outsiders to investigate the truth on their behalf, right? Those immortals didn't sign a life and death agreement. By then, the whole immortal world might know that their prince had been cuckolded!

The secret guards were right. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did ask them to find someone from outside to investigate Liu Fengchang, but the person...

——Although there was no need to worry about her leaking secrets, the sight of this person made the secret guards present feel unreliable.

Finally, it was the oldest ground guard among them who asked sincerely.

"——Your Highness, are you sure you want to release that crazy woman Feng Yan——bah, Princess?"

*

Just when the guards were in disbelief, in the study of Emperor Bei Tian, Qiao Yan asked her subordinates in confusion.

"Someone is investigating the Crown Princess recently? Who is it? It can't be Aze!"

Qiao Yan suddenly felt a little nervous.

Fortunately, Diwei calmed her nervous mood very well.

"No, Your Highness. It was just some story writers who wanted to collect materials, so they unknowingly triggered the ban."

The subordinate said with a smile, God knows she was also holding her breath when she found out that the ban was triggered, but then she found out that it was just some people writing storybooks, so she was relieved.

"They have already lost a part of their memory. Now they are writing a storybook in a small dark room. They won't be able to publish it until they finish writing 200,000 words. By the time they are released, they will probably have forgotten about this matter."

The subordinate said.

"Then I'll be relieved."

Qiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief and waved her hand, and her subordinates wisely withdrew. At this time, Mu Zheng came in with a frown on his face.

"What happened to Brother Zheng?"

Qiao Yan walked forward and asked considerately.

Mu Zheng sat on the couch with a headache, kneading his solar plexus. The maid beside him put the teapot on the table at the right time and then left.

"It's about those little fairies."

Mu Zheng spoke after watching the people go down.

"Before Aze went to the lower world, officials discovered that the number of fairies in the Northern Heaven was decreasing. Some of them were in seclusion or retreat. Some fairies couldn't even find the fairies working there, so they were forced to raise their wages."

"Originally it was a good thing, but those fairies gradually stopped working, and more and more of them disappeared. Even when the price was raised, no one went. Only a few fairies with good tempers still had a few fairies in their houses. Then this matter was reported because it was too strange."

Qiao Yan also remembered what was said: "Is it the memorial that you didn't intend to deal with that day, but Aze and the others came back, and you, Brother Zheng, let them investigate it without any hesitation?"

Mu Zheng nodded with a tired expression on his face.

He let out a long sigh before speaking.

"This time we really found out what happened."

Mu Zheng originally didn't want to get involved in this matter because he was afraid that something would be discovered.

After all, although those little fairies seem to have some problems, they still appear frequently, and just one year doesn’t mean anything.

Besides, this matter happened not only on the side of Emperor Bei Tian, but also on the side of Mu Tianmen and other forces, so why should we investigate it?

——Some things cannot be investigated. If something is really found out, the person who found it will be held responsible.

Unfortunately, when Aze came back that day, he was so happy that he approved it for some unknown reason.

Now the truth has been found out.

"...After those little immortals came out of seclusion for a period of time, their cultivation bases increased significantly. Some of them even reached the level of true immortals. This is quite abnormal."

Mu Zheng looked at Qiao Yan's puzzled expression and explained carefully, "These little fairies don't have many cultivation resources. If they rely purely on absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the fairyland to cultivate their current cultivation, they would have to stay in seclusion for more than a hundred years to have a slight chance."

But now they only need a year, and each time is accompanied by a strange retreat.

And when a fairy came out of seclusion and his cultivation level improved, soon after other fairies around him came forward to ask about it, their behavior began to become similar to that of this fairy.

His cultivation level also began to rise strangely.

Now the official in charge of the investigation could no longer sit still. He was eager to make a contribution, so he decided to capture a few fairies and ask them what had happened to them.

However……

"When those fairies found out that the official was going to arrest them, a few of them quickly escaped. The remaining one was about to be caught by the official, but..."

When Mu Zheng said this, his expression became serious. He knocked on the armrest again and again, and Qiao Yan beside him also subconsciously asked questions.

"But what?"

Mu Zheng frowned and said with an expression that could stop a child from crying at night.

"——But a golden light of merit appeared on his body, and he withstood the blow and escaped."

Qiao Yan didn't react at first, but then her eyes widened.

“Golden light of merit??????!!!!”

*

The golden light of merit is something that is now being sought after by the entire world of cultivation. As far as everyone knows, only Mu Tianmen's young master Ju Xingji and Bei Tiandi's Crown Princess Liu Fengchang possess it.

Moreover, the golden light of merit on Liu Fengchang's body can only be used for defense, while the golden light of merit on Mu Xingji's body can be used for attack.

——He also used the golden light of his merit to kill several demon king-level demons in the fight against the demons.

So in their understanding, things like the golden light of merit must either be found in the mortal world, or other methods can be found in the fairy world.

And with the passive resistance of the Star Lord Sima Ming, when they came down to earth to experience tribulations, the place where they were located had somehow turned into a world of cultivation. Earning merit in such a place was as difficult as killing everyone in the world.

It's not like they haven't thought about going to the mortal world through the hole in the underworld, but who would go? And would they be able to come back after going there?

Bureaucracy is not exclusive to the underworld.

Let those fairies go. What if they pretend to obey but actually disobey? Let them go by themselves. Who wants to stay in the mortal world for a few years as a wish-making machine and endure the thin spiritual energy?

Besides, the mortal world is protected by the Heavenly Dao. People in the world of cultivation are afraid of heavenly thunder. They are not made of iron. Even if they go in, if the Heavenly Dao holds a grudge against them because of this incident, even if it is just the Heavenly Dao of a small world, it will be a stain on their path to immortality.

It may not seem like a big deal now, but when you upgrade to a higher level and are targeted by the heavens, you will know what pain is.

Most of the immortals become less courageous as they age and dare not even try.

Even if someone tried, they would become obedient after being chopped into charcoal again.

And now, these immortals who are at the Taiyi level and above didn’t get anything, but it was actually obtained by those earthly immortals?

"——The one who released the golden light of merit was a human immortal. After releasing the golden light of merit, they all disappeared, leaving only some ordinary immortals who were working hard."

Mu Zheng said with a frown.

Qiao Yan immediately began to frown. Even if she was a fool, she knew how big of an earthquake this incident would bring to the world of cultivation.

If all those immortals who were practicing in seclusion had a golden light of merit in their hands...

Fighting against opponents of higher levels is no longer a dream.

Qiao Yan was thinking about this, and Mu Zheng beside her also thought of the same thing.

"It seems we need to investigate it carefully..."

Just as they were calling the ministers to discuss, an invisible monitor was operating silently on the ceiling of the study.

*

"Host, it seems like this is the end. It seems like your plan is about to be discovered."

777 said with a little sadness.

Gu Youxing was sitting on the sofa calmly, watching the surveillance camera in front of him.

"It will take time for them to investigate. Although the golden light of merit pointed them in the right direction, I am quite familiar with the practice of deliberately creating confusion. All they need to do is delay for a while until I can take the position of the leader of Mutian Sect."

777 didn't expect that the host would still be dragging his feet when the situation was critical. He was so nervous that he almost screamed.

"But host, those cultivators are not like those forest *late* neat* people in the interstellar. Those people are at most in the foundation building stage and Qi training stage, but here are real immortals. Even earthly immortals can dismantle mechas with their hands!"

Gu Youxing did not reveal his true intention and said confidently: "Don't worry about this. As long as we spend money, there is nothing we can't solve."

What's more, he had no intention of building the so-called ruins.

History is quite scarce in the interstellar world, which has spawned a large number of people who pay attention to relics every day, which is profitable.

But in the fairy world, the ruins he built are probably not as old as those built by those powerful ones.

They would surely be able to see it at a glance.

Therefore, for Gu Youxing, building the ruins was just an excuse to delay 777.

But 777 took it seriously - perhaps it was because Gu Youxing from the interstellar world was too enthusiastic about the ruins, which caused 777 to have a little PTSD.

After all, Gu Youxing in the interstellar world has really turned into an infrastructure maniac, repairing ruins everywhere, both small and large, and even space starships have been stuffed with all kinds of relic items.

777 thought it was normal that Gu Youxing would really do it, and this was the only way to do it under the current circumstances.

Otherwise, I really can't divert my attention.

777 even looked at the design sketch drawn by Gu Youxing, as well as the underground ruins that were so grand that they covered the five realms.

777 sighed: "How much emotion points will this cost? And host, do you still want it after you have done this to the fairyland..."

The fairyland with holes everywhere, ah this...

Gu Youxing looked at 777 and said with a smile: "I don't need to worry about this, right?"

777 nodded without sympathy. Indeed, they were already a great hero for bringing back ten worlds. Let the Special Management Bureau take care of the rest!

But will they really get what they want?

*

A few days later, Gu Youxing, who was wearing the skin of "Jupiter Ji", received a piece of news.

"The demon beasts in Kunlun Mountains have inexplicably started to rage and riot. Has a beast tide formed now?"

Gu Youxing had an ambiguous smile on his face as he looked at the message in front of him.

I sighed silently in my heart.

It comes really quickly.
