Gongsun Lan was in deep thought. Judging from Nangong Suxin's expression, it was absolutely impossible that Nangong Suxin forced him to have sex with her.
This also eliminates the possibility of finding a man for her at random.
Even if it was just soul suggestion, it would be difficult for Nangong Suzhu to feel genuinely satisfied. Based on her understanding of Nangong Suxin, she believed that she could see the abnormality.
"Ruling out the possibility of a random search, if this person isn't the Crown Prince himself, then Xiao Fan is the only person who fits the bill in the Crown Prince's Mansion."
Gongsun Lan thought to himself.
Although Xiao Fan has no cultivation, he has a handsome appearance, and his piano skills have reached the perfect level of a grandmaster.
Nangong Suxin had met Xiao Fan before. If the prince was a woman, Gongsun Lan knew that Nangong Suxin should be able to accept Xiao Fan.
"If Su Xin is really with the prince, then there's no need to think too much. If she's with Xiao Fan, then there's no point in thinking about it since Xiao Fan has a demigod behind him."
Gongsun Lan thought to himself.
She thought a lot in a short time.
As the sect's top powerhouse, Gongsun Lan certainly doesn't want the Tianlong Empire to last forever, as that would harm the sect's interests.
But Shangqing Palace would never allow anyone to jump out and be the first to do so.
"Suxin, I'm relieved that you're doing well. Since you became the Crown Prince's Consort, I've only had a few days of leisure. Soon, I'll have to research and strengthen the monster-hunting formation."
Gongsun Lan said.
For some time now, she has been studying the monster-hunting formation with several other formation masters, but it has not been completed yet!
——More than half of the strong ones among them hope that the Tianlong Empire will collapse. In this case, how can they research the monster-hunting formation?
"Master, when a dynasty reaches its end, chaos often ensues and the people suffer. In this case, it would be better if the dynasty collapsed."
"But the current Tianlong Empire has not reached that point, what do you think?"
Nangong Suxin looked at her master and said.
Gongsun Lan was silent for a moment and then nodded slightly.
"Master, while the dynasty is still doing well, I think it's best for us to follow the will of the people in Shangqing Palace. The people are like water, seemingly powerless but actually containing powerful energy."
“No matter how powerful a sect or dynasty is, if they lose their people, they are like a tree without roots and water without a source.”
Nangong Suxin said sincerely.
Gongsun Lan stared into Nangong Suxin's eyes and said, "Suxin, you have become the Crown Prince's Consort, and you have learned a lot."
Nangong Suxin said respectfully, "Master, I'm only able to consider things from another perspective after becoming the Crown Prince's Consort."
"I say this for the good of the sect."
Gongsun Lan nodded slightly: "You don't have to worry too much. Our Shangqing Palace has been passed down for tens of thousands of years. The Sect Master and others will not do anything reckless."
"Disciple, my rest period is short. I haven't returned to the sect yet. Please go back and take care of yourself."
Gongsun Lan has not been busy these days. Before returning to the sect, she wanted to meet Nangong Suxin first to find out the specific situation so that the sect can make a better decision.
"Master, take care."
Nangong Su thought to himself.
Gongsun Lan nodded and quickly left the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion.
…
Shangqing Palace.
Gongsun Lan took several hours to return, and she met the leader of Shangqing Palace, the old leader, and the supreme elder.
All three of them have cultivation at the Martial Emperor level!
To outsiders, the old leader and the supreme elder of Shangqing Palace both entered the ancient secret realm and died there.
In fact, they didn't go in and are still alive and well.
The ostensible Sect Master of Shangqing Palace, the Peak Master of Taixuan Peak, and the Peak Master of Yuxu Peak all have the cultivation level of Martial Emperor. In reality, there is also the old Sect Master, the Supreme Elder, and an old ancestor who is in seclusion.
Adding them all together, Shangqing Palace has six Martial Emperor-level powerhouses, while Xuantian Sect has only three. Shangqing Palace is much stronger.
The Grand Elder and the old patriarch of Shangqing Palace both reached the late stage of Martial Emperor cultivation, and the ancestor who died had even reached the perfect level of Martial Emperor cultivation.
Always hiding most of the power is the secret passed down by Shangqing Palace for tens of thousands of years. Any force that provokes Shangqing Palace must consider whether it can bear the consequences.
——A long time ago, a force provoked Shangqing Palace. As a result, Shangqing Palace concealed the existence of four Martial Emperors, and only two were exposed.
The two sides started fighting, and all six Martial Emperor-level powerhouses of Shangqing Palace came on the field. Everyone in the force that provoked Shangqing Palace was dumbfounded.
On the surface, there were two Martial Emperors in Shangqing Palace at that time, one in the early stage of Martial Emperor and the other in the middle stage of Martial Emperor; there were four Martial Emperors hidden, three in the late stage of Martial Emperor and one in the perfect stage of Martial Emperor.
It's totally off the mark!
From then on, all the major sects knew that Shangqing Palace was a small force and no force had dared to provoke Shangqing Palace for tens of thousands of years.
Perhaps it was because the interval was too long, and the same situation occurred again later, and there were three more Martial Emperors in Shangqing Palace again!
The forces that provoked Shangqing Palace were destroyed again.
After these two incidents, Shangqing Palace has solidified its reputation as the Sixth Palace, and all the major forces will never easily provoke Shangqing Palace.
"Xiao Lan, tell me what you have learned."
The Grand Elder of Shangqing Palace spoke.
He is already five or six hundred years old, much older than Gongsun Lan. It was he who brought Gongsun Lan to Shangqing Palace.
Gongsun Lan said, "From what I've found so far, first, there is indeed a demigod behind Xiao Fan, Murong Die, and Murong Xue!"
"Secondly, there is no evidence yet as to whether the Crown Princess is a woman."
The old clan leader asked in surprise, "Su Xin became the Crown Prince's Consort. Aren't you sure that the Crown Prince is a woman?"
Gongsun Lan shook his head. "Old Sect Master, I really can't be sure. The demigods behind Xiao Fan and the others seem to be protecting the Crown Prince's Mansion."
The Palace Master of Shangqing Palace asked, "Are you sure that demigods exist?"
Gongsun Lan nodded: "Master, I am sure of this!"
The head of Shangqing Palace sighed, "Who on earth is this? We at Shangqing Palace are pretty well hidden, but there are actually people who are even more hidden than us. Even demigods don't show up!"
"Demigods are practically invincible these days. Is the other party being overly cautious?"
"If there is support from the demigods, the Tianlong Empire may not be doomed. I observed the celestial phenomena at night, and the future of the Tianlong Empire is uncertain."
The Grand Elder asked in surprise, "Sect Master, you can't even tell for sure?"
The master of Shangqing Palace is in the late stage of Martial Emperor. He is best at the art of divination. He once said that the Ziwei star fell in the Tianlong Empire.
This is the sign of the collapse of an empire.
"I can't tell for sure."
"The astrological signs of the Tianlong Empire have become unclear. This situation may indicate the intervention of an extremely powerful individual."
"Fate isn't set in stone. When an extremely powerful person appears, it's entirely possible to turn the tide."
The leader of Shangqing Palace said.
Gongsun Lan asked in surprise, "Master, is this the reason you agreed to let Suxin become the Crown Prince's Consort?"
"good."
"Her becoming the Crown Prince's Consort allows us to hedge our bets. We won't get the most benefits this way, but we'll definitely survive."
The leader of Shangqing Palace said calmly.
The ancestral precept of the Shangqing Sect is to do everything possible to ensure the sect's inheritance.
