But now that she was here, as the Wudong cultivator who arrived in Tianqi first, Kong Ju naturally had to accompany her for a few days to familiarize herself with the imperial city. This was his duty as a friend.

Of course, the main reason was that after Kong Ju returned to the imperial city, he did not see his master's wife in the princess's mansion for several days.

This made Kong Ju, who wanted to report the intelligence obtained from Wanlan Lake to Princess Qing, helpless and he could only accompany Han Honghua for a stroll.

Three days passed like this, and Kong Ju, who had been able to maintain his composure at first, was already feeling a little anxious.

The matter of the cultivators from other worlds and the changes in spirit crystals is of great importance, and every day of delay will cause the situation to change.

Kong Ju knew that he couldn't wait any longer and had to find his master's wife as soon as possible.

On the one hand, it would allow the Tianqi royal family to prepare early, and on the other hand, he would be able to report his information to his master through his master's wife.

On the fourth day since Han Honghua arrived in the imperial city.

Kong Ju did not go out with Shangguan Yuzhou and the others, but found Ma, the manager of the princess's mansion, and asked about the whereabouts of his master's wife.

"The Fifth Princess hasn't returned home for nearly a month. It seems like there is something important that needs to be dealt with."

Manager Ma was checking the accounts in the accounting office. When he saw Kong Ju coming, he immediately put down his brush and politely offered him a cup of tea.

"Important matter? It's probably about Prince Yaoyun." Kong Ju lowered his eyebrows. He vaguely understood what his master's wife was busy with.

After bringing Prince Yaoyun's body back to the imperial city, Princess Qing has been running around in the outside world.

The matter of Prince Yaoyun involves a lot of concerns and does need to be dealt with, but compared with the changes in the spiritual power of the Xianyun Realm and the upcoming external threats, the latter is more important.

Thinking of this, Kong Ju did not go to drink with Steward Ma, but asked with a serious expression: "Standard Ma, do you know where to find Master's wife? I have something important to report to her."

Manager Ma naturally had nothing to hide from Kong Ju. Seeing Kong Ju's serious expression, he paused and thought for a moment before politely replying, "If you want to find the Fifth Princess, you can go to Prince Qingluan's residence. The Fifth Princess and Prince Qingluan have a deep relationship as siblings, and she usually goes to Prince Qingluan's residence when she has something to do."

As he spoke, Manager Ma took off his badge and handed it to Kong Ju.

"Sir, you can enter the Prince's Palace with this Princess's Palace token."

"Thank you, Manager Ma." Kong Ju took the token and without further delay, he politely bowed to Manager Ma before turning around and leaving.

Manager Ma didn't think much about it. After watching Kong Ju leave, he started to check the expenses of the princess's mansion in the past few days.

Prince Qingluan's residence is not far from the Princess's residence, only seven or eight streets away, and is located north of the imperial city.

Kong Ju had passed by the gate of Prince Qingluan's mansion many times, so he took the token and walked to the outside of the prince's mansion without asking any questions.

After showing the token given to him by Manager Ma to the guard on duty, he was politely led into the prince's palace by one of the guards and waited in a side hall.

A maid respectfully brought a pot of hot tea and then left.

"Alas, the Tianqi Dynasty breaks so many rules." Kong Ju saw that he couldn't see Prince Qingluan even with the token. He could only sigh and wait patiently, then picked up the tea and took a sip.

Fortunately, Kong Ju didn't have to wait long. Before he finished his cup of tea, someone walked into the side hall.

Kong Ju looked over and saw that the visitor was dressed properly as a scholar, with long hair standing up, revealing a face that was younger than that of a girl. He walked with lotus steps, looking elegant and dignified.

It was his master's wife, Princess Qing.

"The master's wife is really in the prince's mansion." This made Kong Ju breathe a sigh of relief.

He then hurriedly stood up to greet her and respectfully called her "Master's Wife".

"Okay, you don't have to bow every time you see me." Princess Qing looked a little tired. She looked at Kong Ju with wise eyes and waved her wrist, indicating that Kong Ju didn't need to be polite, and then sat in the upper seat in the side hall.

"You came to the Prince's Mansion with Master Ma's badge. I guess you are not looking for my brother."

Being able to become a Taoist partner with Huangfu Ying, Princess Qing must be an extremely intelligent woman.

This one sentence revealed Kong Jue's purpose.

Kong Ju smiled and replied, "Master's wife is far less intelligent than me."

"Stop flattering your master's wife. The last time you reported something, she has been busy until now and hasn't rested yet." The tiredness on Princess Qing's face didn't seem to be fake. She was rubbing her temples while talking to Kong Ju, and her voice was weak.

What she was talking about was, of course, the matter of Prince Yaoyun's body. Kong Ju lowered his head slightly and did not dare to ask more questions.

Then he sorted out the information he had obtained from Wan Lanhu in his mind, put on a solemn expression, looked at Princess Qing who was sitting on the throne and said in a low voice: "This time, I came to look for Master's wife because I have something more important to report to her in person."

Princess Qing's expression froze for a moment, she put down her hand that was rubbing her temple, and asked, "Is it more important than that?"

Kong Ju nodded seriously. This time he did not speak, but said in a voice transmission: "This is about four regions and one sea!"

Princess Qing had some understanding of Kong Ju's personality.

As cautious as he was, he could not help but say such serious words, and his expression immediately became solemn.

The tiredness on her face was concealed, and her temperament became solemn. She replied in a voice transmission: "Tell me in detail."

Kong Ju cheered up and told the story slowly.

He first said that he took Dapeng to the remote place of Wanlan Lake to break through.

Then we met two groups of people.

The fight with Liu Che, and the later confrontation with Na Sidengdi and Hu Chenxiang were also mentioned briefly.

The focus was on the information obtained from the two monsters about the changes in the spiritual power of the Xianyun Realm.

“That Heterochromatic King Liu Che and the two demon tribes used techniques and magic that I have never heard of before. They are indeed visitors from another world.”

"I have never heard of any cultivators from other worlds entering the Four Seas and One Region before. I guess it is because of the changes in the spiritual power of the Xianyun Realm this time."

"In that case, I think the news about the two monsters is probably reliable."

"I then rushed back to the Imperial City without stopping and reported to Master's wife in person."

The clear and melodious voice of Kong Jue was heard clearly, and Princess Qing's expression gradually changed from calm to deeply solemn.

She looked at Kong Ju and asked some details, and Kong Ju responded one by one.

He also added, "Master's wife, the spirit of the Xianyun Realm is indeed changing. The witch cultivator named Zaifu Qiaoqiao, who I tamed in the Great Wilderness, said that Gujiang experienced the spring snow and winter thunder phenomenon several years ago."

"It even attracted the attention of the Gujiang Prophet."

If Kong Ju could think of it, how could Princess Qing not think of it?

What Zai Fu Qiaoqiao said was vaguely connected with the intelligence from the two demon tribes, confirming the fact that the spiritual power of the Xianyun Realm had changed.

At the same time, it also involves the opening of the entrance to the Xianyun Realm, and the threat of cultivators from the outside world eyeing it covetously.

After hearing all the reports from Kong Ju, Princess Qing was silent for a long time. Her pretty face showed no emotion. Her pupils, which sometimes emitted golden light and sometimes were deep, proved that her emotions were not as calm as she appeared.

After Kong Ju told all the information, he didn't say much and chose to remain silent.

He looked at his master's wife quietly, waiting for her to digest the information.

"After listening to what Si Dengdi and Hu Chenxiang said, I couldn't calm down for a long time. I'm sure Master's wife feels the same." Kong Ju sighed secretly.

It was precisely because the matter was of such importance that he was so eager to find Princess Qing.

Princess Qing's heart was much stronger than Kong Ju imagined. In just half a cup of tea, her eyes regained clarity.

She looked at her husband's disciple in front of her with emotion in her eyes.

"He is always able to capture important intelligence. He is really meticulous."

"Having Huangfu Ying come to Tianqi was definitely the wisest decision he had ever made."

If the matter of Xianyunjie's inspiration is delayed for even a day, it will seriously affect the future changes in the four seas and one region.

Thinking of this, Princess Qing slowly exhaled and replied in a light voice: "In the past few days, the spies lurking in various places in Tianqi have indeed reported that there are cultivators in Tianqi who are very different from the Four Regions and One Sea inheritance."

"The royal family also suspected that it was a visitor from another world."

"This matter is still under investigation and is being supervised by the Second Prince himself."

The Tianqi royal family’s control over Tianqi is airtight.

Since the prince knew his own movements clearly, Kong Ju knew about the terrifying intelligence network of the Tianqi royal family.

Therefore, he was not surprised by what Princess Qing said about capturing intelligence about visitors from another world, and he immediately praised: "The royal family's response was really quick."

"But it's still too slow." At this point, Princess Qing did not hide her admiration in her eyes. She looked at Kong Ju and smiled: "If it weren't for you, it might take some time to find out about the cultivators from other worlds."

"As for the changes in the spirit of the Xianyun Realm and the entrance to this world that were opened by the cultivators from other worlds, I'm afraid it will take a lot of time to explore."

"Your visit today has saved us a lot of time and also facilitated Tianqi's advance planning."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"You have done a great job."

Princess Qing spoke the last sentence with extreme seriousness.

Kong Ju lowered his head and replied, "I dare not, it is my duty."

"Don't worry, I know my limits. The reward you deserve, Master's wife will help you get it without missing a cent."

Princess Qing spoke in a cautious tone, and added: "In addition to Tianqi's reward, I will also tell you the truth about this matter, Master. Cangwu Sect's reward will also be yours."

Kong Ju had never thought of this.

Judging from Princess Qing's tone, she is trying to get a great reward for herself.

There was no reason for him to refuse. After all, it was the Tianqi royal family that paid for it, so he immediately agreed: "Everything is up to Master's wife."

At this point, Princess Qing suddenly changed the subject and her voice became softer: "This matter involves the four seas and one region. You are cautious and steady, and I know you won't say much."

"But Master's wife still has something to say."

"Just know about this matter, don't get too involved. Your master and I are here for you."

"When we are old and gone, it will be your turn to worry about us."

Princess Qing's words were full of love for Kong Ju.

Kong Ju felt warmed at heart when he heard this.

However, what Princess Qing didn't know was that she had already been involved.

When the changes in the spiritual power of the Xianyun Realm are completed, that is, the day of the first moon and the sun, he must hold the Xuanwu furnace to open the Five Elements Heaven.

As the only cave in the Xianyun Realm.

It is unreasonable for so many external forces not to interfere.

By then, I might end up fighting with those monks from the outside world.

Of course, that was ten years later.

By that time, I had probably already mastered my life and was able to protect myself.

"Opportunities in this world can only be obtained by those with good fortune. Why shouldn't I go?" There was a hidden sharpness in Kong Ju's eyes.

Princess Qing didn't know what Kong Ju was thinking.

After saying these soothing words, her slender fingers tapped slowly on the coffee table a few times, and then she said slowly: "You go back first. The Chaodi Ancient City is about to open, so make preparations."

“Even if the world turns upside down in the future, we still have to take the opportunity now.”

Kong Ju came here just to inform Xianyunjie of the spiritual information.

Now that the message had been delivered, his mission was accomplished, and he felt relieved.

"Yes! In that case, I will take my leave. Madam, please take care of yourself." After responding, Kong Ju respectfully bowed towards Princess Qing and slowly left the side hall.

Princess Qing smiled and nodded, watching Kong Ju's figure disappear from her sight.

The moment Kong Ju left Prince Qingluan's mansion, the smile on Princess Qing's face quickly disappeared, replaced by incomparable solemnity.

It seems that after Princess Qing heard the information reported by Kong Ju, her mood was not as relaxed as she appeared.

After all, what it involves may be a disaster that affects four regions and one sea.

Just at this time.

A tall figure appeared out of nowhere behind Princess Qing where she was sitting.

He had thick, high eyebrows, a tall stature, and a strong and majestic look between his brows.

It was Prince Qingluan, Bai Zigang.

This is the Qingluan Palace, and there is no way he could hide the conversation between Kong Ju and Princess Qing from him.

Besides, Princess Qing did not hide the truth from him.

She rubbed her brows, looked at her brother out of the corner of her eye, and said in an extremely tired voice: "Royal brother, you heard everything, right?"

“Hmm!” In the Tianqi Dynasty, Prince Qingluan, who always showed his strength, now had a stern face full of worry and his brows were deeply furrowed.

Even the voice that responded to Princess Qing was filled with emotion.

"This matter still needs to be reported to Emperor Kang Ren. Tianqi may be facing its greatest challenge in ten thousand years."

"It has been ten thousand years since the White Emperor ascended to heaven. Even if Gujiang led hundreds of tribes to attack, my Tianqi has never wavered."

"This time is no exception."

Prince Qingluan's voice was solemn and murderous.

Princess Qing thought more.

These days, she has been secretly investigating Prince Yaoyun's affairs, and the more she investigates, the more frightened she becomes.

Just recently, there was an early warning about the country's most important weapon. For three days and three nights, it emitted a golden light that made all the royal family members very nervous.

You know, during the Gujiang catastrophe a thousand years ago, the dynasty's most important weapon only provided a one-day warning.

This time the fire lasted for three days and three nights, proving that the disaster that the Tianqi Dynasty will face must be several times greater than that a thousand years ago.

The strange incident involving Prince Yaoyun, plus the early warning about the country's most important weapon.

Princess Qing has been exhausted these days.

Now, we have received the terrifying information that the spiritual power of the Xianyun Realm has changed, the entrance has been opened, and the cultivators from the outside world are watching covetously.

Various events piled up together made Princess Qing feel an unprecedented sense of crisis.

An extremely ominous smell seemed to have filled the entire Tianqi.

Princess Qing felt deeply exhausted, and murmured to herself in her mind: "Can Tianqi survive this disaster?" (End of this chapter)
