Chapter 352 Guhe Mountain, Seven Stars Palace
The magical talisman could travel a thousand miles in an instant. While Xiao Zirui and Yun Bailian were still on their way to Tianming Pavilion, Yun Qingqing had already arrived in Nanyu.
"Princess!"
As soon as Yun Qingqing appeared in the Honglu Temple, Nan Zheng rushed up with a group of guards and secret guards, and they all knelt down.
"I am incompetent and have not yet found the whereabouts of the prince!" Nan Zheng said anxiously.
"Get up and answer. What's going on?" Yun Qingqing frowned.
The pigeon message she received was brief and to the point, only saying that the prince's whereabouts were unknown, without any details.
Nan Zheng did not stand up and said quickly:
"Last night, the prince paused for a moment before entering the house. I saw the prince glance at the stone tablet you left behind, and then he dismissed us and went in alone."
"However, after the prince entered the room, I and others had not yet left when I suddenly heard a loud noise coming from inside. I hurriedly asked but received no response."
"I felt uneasy and rushed in to check, but I saw that the tables and chairs in the house were overturned and the prince was nowhere to be found! I immediately sent a pigeon to you, the princess, and began to search for the prince's whereabouts, but... until now, there is still no clue about the prince's whereabouts. Please punish me, Your Majesty!"
Yun Qingqing's expression became more solemn, and she asked:
"You said he glanced at the stone tablet before entering the door. Did he see it clearly?"
"That's right. I would never be wrong." Nan Zheng replied.
"...I got it." Yun Qingqing rubbed her knitted brows and said, "Take me to his room quickly."
She knew things were tricky.
There was some movement on Xiao Changheng's amulet, but it wasn't caused by her message, so there could only be another possibility.
When mysterious fluctuations appear around him and there is obvious danger, the protective amulet will give a warning and protect the master.
Moreover, the badge should have sent her a message so that she could arrive in time, but she received nothing.
This means that the opponent's strength is so great that the protective amulet must fully focus on dealing with it, leaving no energy left to send messages.
The only thing that made her feel a little relieved was that the red line connecting her and Xiao Changheng had not changed, which at least meant that his life was safe for the time being.
The most urgent task is to find him as soon as possible.
Yun Qingqing followed Nan Zheng to the room where Xiao Changheng stayed, but found other people at the door who were being stopped outside by the palace guards.
"Princess Regent!"
The man in gorgeous clothes was stunned when he saw her, then he quickly came forward to greet her.
It was the second prince, Prince Jing Lu Fan.
Yun Qingqing, the woman behind him, also recognized him. Situ Qinglan was originally disguised as her, Princess Mingyue, Lu Ran.
Lu Ran was obviously surprised to see her:
"Is this the Princess Regent? How come you are here so quickly?"
Yun Qingqing didn't have time to say anything extra. She just nodded at the two of them and pushed the door open and walked into the room.
Lu Fan and Lu Ran looked at each other, then followed Nan Zheng and others in.
The scene had been cordoned off by Nan Zheng since the incident and remained the same. Tables and chairs were overturned, but not too messy, as if a fight had ended as soon as it began.
Yun Qingqing looked around, her eyes shining brightly, and a tiny glowing mark on the ground suddenly caught her eye.
She walked over, squatted down, stretched out her fingertips and touched the mark. The mark suddenly floated up and disappeared between her eyebrows.
Several images flashed before his eyes, Yun Qingqing's eyes turned cold, and he stood up.
"How is it, Princess? Have you found anything?" Nan Zheng looked at her hopefully.
Yun Qingqing frowned and said coldly:
“It’s Chu Jingyan!”
"What!" Lu Fan's teeth started to itch when he heard Chu Jingyan's words.
"That guy showed up again? What on earth is going on?!"
Yun Qingqing's gaze lingered on Lu Fan and Princess Mingyue for a moment, and said:
"I don't have time to explain right now. I want to use divination to find out the whereabouts of the Regent. Would you two like to lend me a hand?"
Lu Fan nodded immediately:
"Just tell me what you need me to do!"
Lu Ran also nodded without hesitation.
"As you can expect, Princess, please feel free to ask for anything you want."
"Thank you." Yun Qingqing bowed solemnly, then turned to Nan Zheng and ordered, "Tell the others to leave and guard this room. No one is allowed to approach before I finish this divination!"
Nan Zheng immediately took the order and made the arrangements, while he himself stayed in the house.
Yun Qingqing found three seats and asked Lu Fan and Lu Ran to sit cross-legged on the spot. She herself sat at the third spot, and the three of them formed a tripod.
"Please close your eyes and concentrate. No matter what you see, don't panic. I will ensure your safety."
The brother and sister nodded and closed their eyes.
Yun Qingqing also made hand gestures and concentrated her mind, entering the inner scene.
This incident was different from the one of Heavenly Disaster. What she wanted to predict was the whereabouts of Xiao Changheng, the son of destiny. It just so happened that Lingtong had just discovered that the fortune of Nanyu was leaning towards these two siblings. With their help, plus the clues left by her Bagua talisman, it would be much easier than relying on herself.
But when Yun Qingqing unfolded the three formations of heaven, earth and man, she still found that the formations were larger than any previous time.
In the interior scene, Lu Fan was startled when he opened his eyes. In a space surrounded by stars and where he couldn't tell east, south, west or north, he began to dance to keep his balance, for fear that he would fall.
Lu Ran's casual voice came from the side:
"Stop struggling. We're evenly matched. It'd be hard for you to fall even if you wanted to. What are you afraid of?"
"Uh..." Lu Fan turned his head and saw his biological sister, sitting quietly in the air. She looked at him for a moment, then turned her head to look at the surrounding scenery curiously.
He always felt that he was despised by his sister. His old face turned red, he coughed and sat up straight.
"Isn't this a sudden discomfort..."
As she spoke, Yun Qingqing had already changed her hand gestures, and with a flick of her fingertips, a beam of light flew to the center of the three people and quickly expanded into a pattern.
The ground beneath the three people's feet suddenly started to spin faster, and countless streams of light flickered, dazzling them.
Lu Fan and Lu Ran stared at this spectacular and strange scene in amazement, their hearts deeply shocked.
Yun Qingqing stared intently at the movements of the territory, occasionally reaching out and lightly tapping the air, concentrating all his consciousness on this hexagram.
Suddenly, her eyes moved, she raised her hand and made a light grab, and immediately a ball of light separated from the ground and flew in front of her.
Yun Qingqing looked over there intently, a clear light flowing in her eyes, and the changing light and dark scenes in the light ball gradually made sense.
Guhe Mountain, Seven Star Hall.
Yun Qingqing suddenly opened her eyes and stood up. The Lu brothers and sisters also came back to their senses at the same time.
Lu Fan was rubbing his forehead in disbelief, when he turned around and saw his sister had stood up and asked with concern:
"How is it? Any results?"
Nan Zheng also stepped forward nervously:
"Princess, have you found the whereabouts of the prince?"
Yun Qingqing took out a magic talisman and said:
"Everyone stay here and wait for orders. Do not act rashly. Wait for me to bring the prince back!"
After saying that, a golden light flashed at her fingertips and she activated the magic talisman, and she disappeared from the spot in an instant without a trace.
Nan Zheng knelt on one knee and bowed deeply in the direction she left:
"The princess must return safely. The prince's safety depends entirely on her!"
It took Lu Fan a while to come back to his senses. Nan Zheng had already left to convey the princess's instructions, and only the brother and sister were left in the room.
He recalled what he had just seen and heard, and suddenly snorted:
"How can that guy who holds her back be worthy of her?"
Lu Ran glanced at him lightly and snorted:
"Who's worthy then? You?"
"..." Lu Fan was choked and lost his temper. After a long while, he muttered, "I am your brother!"
He suddenly noticed that Lu Ran frowned slightly, as if thinking about something.
"What's wrong?"
Lu Ran tilted her head and looked at him for a moment, then suddenly asked:
"You said before that you saw the Regent Princess using a flying sword. It was exactly the same as in your dream?"
"Yes...what did you find?" Lu Fan was stunned.
