The group, each with their own thoughts, embarked on their journey again. Since the Crown Princess had spoken, everyone could only give her face.
Pei You and the scouts from various families devised a route and sought Zu An's opinion. Zu An saw that this area was still on the outskirts of the mountains and far from those dangerous areas, so there was no need to deliberately avoid it. Therefore, he did not change the route that everyone had devised.
After several such instances, the others began to look down on him, thinking that they had thought he had some brilliant ideas, but in the end he was just a hands-off manager.
Zu An could sense what those people were thinking, but he didn't care at all. He only needed to protect Bi Linglong and the Crown Prince. As for Liang Tian Bi Yue Jiao, with his current cultivation level, he could easily take on the opponent one-on-one. He didn't need these people to get in his way. On the contrary, he glanced at the disciples of various families in the group, worried that some of them might have problems.
You must know that the secret realm has just opened, and countless eyes are watching at the entrance. King Qi cannot send anyone in at all. All that has entered is their group. What tricks could King Qi possibly pull?
The most likely scenario is that they'll plant people within their ranks.
However, these families are the backbone of the Crown Prince's faction and have all been carefully selected, so he was not sure if his guess was correct.
He didn't care about his relationship with these people, but Bi Linglong couldn't help but care. Sensing the undercurrents between them, she leaned closer to Zu An and whispered, "Zu, these people all come from prestigious families and are quite proud. They're not usually obedient to others, so they might not have any ill intentions towards you. Don't take it to heart."
Zu An laughed and said, "Don't worry, I won't use this to settle personal scores."
Bi Linglong then pointed to each person and introduced their personality traits, interpersonal relationships, cultivation levels, and other information to Zu An. There had been too many things happening along the way, and she hadn't had time to say these things yet.
Those young masters in the distance were quite displeased to see the Crown Princess and Zu An behaving intimately, chatting and laughing.
The Gu brothers were consumed by jealousy. Having grown up with Bi Linglong, they keenly sensed that she treated Zu An and others very differently.
Although they found the speculation too shocking, the two dared not take it lightly.
Gu Xing sidled up to his brother: "Big brother, you have to think of something! That guy Zuan must have given Linglong some kind of love potion, that's why she likes him so much."
Gu Heng's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he quickly came up with an idea. He found an opportunity to come to the Crown Prince's side: "Your Highness, Lord Zu and the Crown Princess are getting too close. It is really not in the proper conduct of a subject. More importantly, this is likely to damage the Crown Princess's reputation. Isn't Your Highness going to do something about it?"
In his view, no man could stand other men getting close to his wife, especially when the relationship seemed so intimate.
Although the prince is foolish in other ways, he has a strong possessive desire for his own things.
Seeing the Crown Prince looking in the direction of Zu'an and Bi Linglong, the Gu brothers exchanged a glance, and the corners of their lips turned up slightly:
"Zu'an, let's see how you die this time!"
After looking at it for a while, the crown prince said, "It's not that close."
"Isn't this close?" The Gu brothers were surprised. The two walked side by side, their bodies occasionally bumping into each other as they walked.
"What's so special about this? Zu'an used to hold Linglong." The Crown Prince quickly lost interest and started gnawing on the spiced pig's trotters the eunuch had prepared for him.
