Yu Yanluo exclaimed, "Sister Yun's analysis is quite accurate. Currently, there are at least two forces in the royal court that can check and balance the Golden Crow Crown Prince, so the risks we face are much less than we initially anticipated."
"Of course, we can't be blindly optimistic. The Demon Emperor's succession ceremony is about to take place, and everything will be settled by then. So if these forces really want to fight over something, it will definitely erupt fiercely in the coming days. We must not accidentally get dragged into it."
He glanced at Zu'an as he spoke, as if he knew...
It was as if he knew he would cause trouble.
Zuan smiled and said, "I'm afraid that's not up to us. I have a feeling that since we came to the royal court, we're destined to be involved, even if we don't want to."
The women remained silent, all knowing that what he said was highly likely to happen.
When the procession was about to enter the royal city gate, because this ceremony was of great importance, the guards at the city gate would check and register the identity of everyone.
Zuan had already prepared his new identity, and then the soldiers asked Yan Xuehen and Yun Jianyue for their names.
As grandmasters of the human race, their names were known to the higher-ups of the demon race, so they naturally could not reveal their real names. Therefore, Yun Jianyue directly said, "My name is Yun Zouyan."
Yan Xuehen, who was standing to the side, twitched her eyelids and suddenly had an idea: "My name is Yan Chouyun."
The soldiers registering the women were completely bewildered, wondering what such strange names they had, so they asked the two women to remove their veils.
Yan and Yun were not people to be trifled with, so naturally they refused. Seeing that the situation was getting tense, a hearty laugh rang out: "These are my friends, and I can testify for them."
When Zu'an turned around, he found that it was Kong Qing, and beside him was a woman dressed as a strange bride—the Paper Bride.
"So it's Lord Kong." Clearly, Kong Qing held a high position here, and the soldiers, seeing this, stopped making things difficult and let him pass.
After entering the city, Yu Yanluo said softly, "Thank you, Mr. Kong."
"Madam Yu, you're too kind," Kong Qing said with a smile. "I came here especially to welcome you. Oh, where is Brother Zu?"
The paper bride behind him couldn't help but crane her neck to look, but when she didn't see Zu An, she returned to her usual listless state.
Yu Yanluo was prepared: "He went back to Yunzhong County."
Kong Qing nodded: "That was a wise choice. It would be too dangerous for him to come to the royal court. Hmm, I've never seen these people before?"
After Yu Yanluo gave a brief introduction, Kong Qing exclaimed with admiration, "The snake clan is indeed full of talented people."
He found it hard to see through these people's true strength. Did the snake clan have such a profound foundation?
Since the previous Medusa Queen's incident, the Serpent Clan has fallen apart, and we've never heard of such a powerful expert.
"Mr. Kong, you flatter me." Yu Yanluo didn't explain further. "I have long admired the Peacock King's name, and this is a good opportunity to pay him a visit."
Kong Qing smiled wryly and said, "I'm afraid that's not very convenient."
"Why?" Yu Yanluo was puzzled. If she was going to avoid him, why send him to greet her?
Kong Qing sighed: "Now, let alone our Peacock King, you can't even see the Golden-Winged Roc King or the Elf King if you want to."
