Wen Shen felt annoyed, but when he heard the secret guard say that his mother allowed Wu Yue to enter and leave Fanlou freely, he guessed that his mother must be very fond of this new adopted daughter.
His expression immediately softened, and he spoke kindly, "So it's Sister Wu Yue. It's a bit inappropriate for us to meet today. I'm just about to go visit my mother. Sister Wu Yue, why don't you come with me?"
Xiang Sheng shook his head. "Aunt has been getting increasingly tired these days, so it's better not to disturb her. Your Highness, please send me back to Silou."
Aunt? What a strange name!
Wen Shen was confused, but he didn't ask any more questions and left with Xiang Sheng.
A moment later, the two returned to Silou.
Xiang Sheng ran directly back to Yuejiao Garden.
Wen Shen waited at the door for a moment, and soon saw Diancui gliding over hurriedly, bowing and saluting:
"Your Highness, why didn't you tell me you were coming back?"
Wen Shen was already extremely unhappy, and upon hearing this, his face immediately fell. "Do I even need to inform you of my whereabouts?"
Diancui's face turned pale, "I dare not."
"I'll settle the matter with you about Wu Yue later!"
Wen Shen flicked his sleeves and walked straight to the northeast, and Diancui hurriedly followed.
Soon, Wen Shen arrived in front of the northeast corner garden and immediately put on a smile as he walked in. "Mother, I'm back."
Xue Su was lying face down by the pool, taking a nap. When she heard the voice, she slowly opened her eyes, smiled and nodded, saying, "It's Wen Shen."
The Demon King Xuesu had a very good impression of this adopted son.
Fifteen years ago, after she suffered a mental injury, Wen Shen had been traveling extensively, searching for all sorts of precious elixirs for her to nourish her pregnancy. He even delayed his cultivation because of this, which clearly showed his sincerity.
"It's the child."
Wen Shen came and sat down beside the Xuesu Demon King, a look of concern on his face, "Mother's fetal energy seems to be stabilizing a little."
"And it's all thanks to you for your hard work all year round."
The Snow Demon King smiled and said, "I've been feeling increasingly exhausted lately. The hundred-year period is approaching, and you'll be able to see your brother or sister soon."
"My child can't wait any longer."
Wen Shen sighed with emotion, "These past hundred years have been truly difficult to endure."
When Demon King Xuesu heard this, he was filled with emotion.
"Mother, I just came back from outside today and I met Sister Wu Yue."
Wen Shen suddenly changed the subject, his tone slightly lowered: "Does mother know anything about that girl's background?"
"I know what you're worried about."
The Snow Demon King smiled and said, "But don't worry, Wu Yue is a simple-minded girl and will never harm me."
Wen Shen frowned immediately. How could Wu Yue please his mother so much and make her completely defenseless?
He was even more furious in his heart, but he didn't show it on the surface. He just sighed helplessly:
"Mother, there are some things I know I shouldn't say, but I clearly saw today that Wu Yue went to the inner room of Fan Tower, which is a key location for the formation.
If Wu Yue is really a spy and manages to steal the formation core, our Shuangwang City will be in danger!"
"Wenshen, you really worry too much."
The Snow Demon King's eyebrows furrowed. "I'm not senile yet, can't I even tell the difference between good and evil?"
This compass is in Xiaoyue'er's hands. If Xiaoyue'er wanted to harm her, she would have destroyed the compass long ago. Why would she wait until now?
However, the location of the compass is a top secret in the city. She even hid it from Huo Yin, so how could she tell Wen Shen?
When Wen Shen heard this, he knew that his mother was a little unhappy, so he could only change the topic.
It was not until the Snow Dance Demon King fell asleep from exhaustion that he and Diancui retreated and came to a secluded corner outside the garden.
Wen Shen flicked his sleeves and cast a soundproof barrier, looking at Diancui with cold eyes: "Tell me, what's going on with Wu Yue?"
Diancui did not dare to hide anything and quickly told Wenshen everything she knew, then added:
"Your Highness, there is absolutely no need to worry. I have tested His Highness Wu Yue and he is indeed a person with closed senses. His lifespan is at most a few hundred years, so he poses no threat to you at all."
"Five senses closed?"
When Wen Shen heard this, the coldness in his eyes faded slightly. "My mother has found a physique that is one in a million. You sound so kind..."
Although he still addressed Demon King Xue Su as his future mother, his tone was not respectful at all.
"Have you really found out?"
Diancui nodded quickly: "Wang Zun unleashed an extremely powerful pressure in Fanlou before. I could hardly withstand it even with my Stone Spirit, but Wu Yue didn't feel anything at all."
After hearing this, Wen Shen's expression finally relaxed.
He knew about the ability of Dot Cui. When the secret technique of Stone Spirit was cultivated to a high level, it was only slightly inferior to the real physique with closed five senses.
He had seen that little girl before. She was less than fifteen years old and had no signs of cultivation. She indeed posed no threat.
But he is good at pleasing others.
Thinking of this, a trace of disgust flashed in Wen Shen's eyes, and he snorted coldly, "I won't bother with you about this matter. Just take care of mother and don't let anything go wrong at the end."
Diancui quickly lowered her head, "I understand."
…
When Xiang Sheng returned to his residence, the first thing he did was to use the lazy stone talisman to convey the news that Wen Shen was going to Fanlou.
Only an hour later, there was a response from the other side.
"Try to find out if Wen Shen has the compass. If not, we must get it before he does."
Xiang Sheng looked at the words that appeared on the inert stone talisman, his eyes narrowed slightly.
Wen Shen has no connection with the King of Ten Thousand Butterflies, so the person standing behind him is most likely the Fifth Palace Master.
Demon King Xue Su mentioned that Wen Shen had found many secret recipes for pregnancy care for her over the years, and she had been looking forward to the arrival of her newborn son.
So it seems that the Fifth Palace Master wanted this young son and ordered Wen Shen to keep an eye on him.
