You were jumping around quite a bit a few days ago, criticizing Zuan with great enthusiasm, but now you've changed so quickly.
Zhao Xi, being the most straightforward, was the first to apologize to Zu An, saying, "Lord Zu, I am a rough man and easily swayed by rumors. I offended you in many ways the other day, and I sincerely apologize to you. I hope you will forgive my petty offense and not take it to heart."
The word "mmp" kept popping into Meng Pan's mind. What does it mean to believe everything you hear? Who is the wind and who is the rain?
Isn't this just trying to make me look bad?
So he hurriedly said, "I was blind and misled by the Gu brothers, which is why I suspected Lord Zu. I was only acting in the public interest and had no intention of targeting Lord Zu. I apologize to Lord Zu. We were all saved by you this time. You are our savior. Please accept my three bows."
Zhao Xi's face twitched. When it comes to shamelessness, this guy surnamed Meng is the real deal.
Next, the scions of various powerful families apologized and offered their valuables to Zu An as a token of their remorse.
They had no choice but to send gifts. They knew that Zu'an had just killed all the peak eighth-rank experts, and they, who were usually so arrogant, were now worthless. They felt that only by sending gifts could they feel a little more at ease, considering that they had offended him a few days ago.
Zu An originally intended to refuse, but Bi Linglong quietly reminded him that it would be better to accept it in order to appease people and avoid any trouble.
Zuan had to admire Bi Linglong; she was indeed a natural leader, and her insight into people's hearts was far superior to his own.
However, he also disliked these arrogant guys who were obsequious at first, so he asked Pu Duandiao and Jiao Sigun to collect the money on his behalf.
Seeing that the Crown Princess didn't mind his misuse of public resources, everyone understood the situation even more and became even more respectful towards Zu An. Remembering how the two guards had spoken up for Zu An earlier, they knew they had a good relationship and dared not be negligent.
Pu Duandiao and Jiao Sigun straightened their chests. They had been mocked by this group of guys for speaking up for Zuan before. Now, seeing a group of arrogant young masters smiling and flattering them, they felt extremely proud.
"You disturbed my sleep." The prince yawned and stretched as he came out of the tent, completely unaware that he had just narrowly escaped death.
Despite the presence of so many people, Bi Linglong still had to give him face and stepped forward to report what had happened.
The prince listened for a while and kept sighing: "They're both dead? It's a pity there's no one to catch rabbits with me now."
These days, the Gu brothers have been flattering the Crown Prince quite a bit in order to get closer to Bi Linglong, taking him out for all sorts of fun.
Having lived in the deep palace for so long, the crown prince had never seen such novel things before, and he quickly became friends with them.
This is also why Bi Linglong didn't suspect the Gu brothers before. If they really had ulterior motives, how could they serve the Crown Prince so diligently?
Upon hearing the Crown Prince's words, the scions of various families were filled with mixed emotions. Such a heartless Crown Prince was truly...
Unfortunately, everyone's family was tied to his fate, so they had no choice but to grit their teeth and see it through.
After a night's rest, Gao Ying and Pei You's injuries gradually stabilized. After dawn, the main force set off to continue into the mountains.
Pei You told everyone how to find the aura of the Azure Moon Dragon. It turned out that someone from the Meng family had entered this secret realm in the past and accidentally obtained a scale of the Azure Moon Dragon.
Then this time, a rune master was specially commissioned to create a magical artifact, which uses the aura on the scales to locate its master.
Holding this magical artifact, the group slowly made their way into the depths of the mountains. Thanks to Zu'an's warning, they avoided most of the dangerous beast lairs along the way.
This time, no one raised any objections; on the contrary, a bunch of people were sycophantically flattering him.
Zuan sighed inwardly. The same words that were met with ridicule before were now being fawned over. This society is really realistic.
The group had been traveling for three days straight. Pei You's expression turned grave: "We're almost there!"
Even without him saying it, Zaun had already sensed the intense power of the water element.
As the group emerged from the dense forest, a wide waterfall suddenly appeared before them, cascading into a huge pool below and splashing water everywhere. Under the sunlight, rainbows could be faintly seen.
Zhao Xi laughed and said, "This dragon really knows how to enjoy life. No wonder it moved here. The scenery here is so much better than its old icy pool."
Gao Ying frowned and said, "Something's not right. There are powerful ferocious beasts everywhere in this secret mountain. It's obvious that they have a strong sense of territory. This place is indeed better than the previous Azure Water Cold Pool, but is a seventh-grade ferocious beast like the Azure Moon Flood Dragon qualified to occupy such a blessed land?"
Zu An nodded secretly. Last time, when the Gu brothers rebelled, Gao Ying saw through it. Although he was taciturn, he was meticulous and indeed a talented person. No wonder the Liu family dared to send out a spoiled brat, because he could cover for them.
Meng Pan, who was standing nearby, said, "Could it be because there are no other aquatic ferocious beasts here that it was able to take advantage of the situation?"
Gao Ying hesitated for a moment: "It's not impossible."
Bi Linglong said in a deep voice, "Now that we've come this far, there's no reason for us to retreat. Everyone, prepare for battle."
Soon, these family members took action in an orderly manner. It should be noted that they were all elites from various families. Although they had been somewhat embarrassed by the Gu brothers' schemes before, they came prepared this time and still showed a very high level of professionalism.
The Crown Prince was left behind by Bi Linglong, as no one dared to let him take the lead and risk his life, otherwise no one could bear the responsibility if something went wrong.
