Shen Wenruo frowned deeply as he looked at Mu Shuangshuang's portrait.
"You mean, the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect is a demonic sect on the continent, and that Miss Mu is the Holy Maiden of the demonic sect?"
"I felt like I'd seen this Miss Mu somewhere before. I pulled out the 'Jiangshan Spectrum of Beauty' and sure enough, I found it!" Yan Feiluan took a deep breath. "This 'Jiangshan Spectrum of Beauty' is known throughout the entire continent. It can't possibly be fake. That woman is definitely a demoness from the Demon Sect!"
Shen Wenruo's expression was solemn as he paced back and forth in the room: "This is no small matter. My cousin is the son-in-law of the Guanghan Palace, so how could he be involved with the Demonic Sect?"
"Perhaps it's precisely because of the Moon Palace's identity that the Demonic Sect has targeted them! They sent a demoness to bewitch them in order to achieve their ulterior motives..."
Shen Wenruo pondered for a moment, then shook his head. "It's unlikely. Even you can recognize the Holy Maiden of the Demonic Sect, so it's impossible for my cousin, as a cultivator, not to recognize her!"
"You mean..." Yan Feiluan's expression froze, "Shen Yunhao already knew the other party was the Holy Maiden of the Demonic Sect, yet he still jumped into the fire pit? Then... then Senior Brother, let's escape quickly, this place is far too dangerous!"
"It's alright! Fei Luan, you go first. I want to talk to my cousin!"
"No!" Yan Feiluan immediately grabbed his sleeve. "If they really harbor evil intentions, you and I are just mortals, we are no match for them. We should immediately notify Huayin Palace to handle this matter!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Wenruo immediately frowned and sternly stopped him: "You don't even know your cousin's specific purpose, yet you rashly notify Huayin Palace. This could very well bring huge trouble to the Shen family!"
"Senior brother, don't be naive! The Demonic Sect is infamous throughout the continent. As a Holy Maiden, how could she possibly be a good person?"
"That won't do!" Shen Wenruo's expression was quite firm. "I don't believe my cousin would do anything to harm me! If it weren't for him saving me, I would be dead already!"
"But...but..."
The girl wanted to say something more, but Shen Wenruo waved her hand to interrupt her, "Feiluan, you don't need to say anything. If my cousin really has ill intentions towards the people, I will definitely not protect him! But if there is some misunderstanding, it would be too unfair to our Shen family to rush to report it to my cousin!"
"..."
At this moment, Shen Wenruo turned to the girl and said seriously, "Feiluan, to me, your safety and the child's safety are more important than anything else! You should leave the Shen residence and return to Hanxuan City right now!"
Upon hearing this, Yan Feiluan lowered her head, hesitated for a moment, and then weakly replied.
"But...but Wenruo, I've already asked Sister Li to inform her of this..."
"What?"
...
Hanxuan City, Qilin Mountain.
This is the location of the Huayin Palace sect, and also the most prosperous place in the entire Tianyu Dynasty.
Just then, a flash of light appeared before a magnificent hall.
"Quickly! I have important news to report to the Palace Master!"
A middle-aged man in a brocade robe shouted anxiously to the guards at the palace gate.
"This... Elder Wu, the Palace Master is currently in seclusion, so it's probably inconvenient to disturb him..."
"What? Why is she in seclusion at this time?"
The middle-aged man pondered for a moment, then said, "Go and inform all the elders to gather in the main hall. I have important matters to discuss with them!"
"yes!"
Before long, dozens of middle and high-ranking members of Huayin Palace gathered inside the main hall.
Among them, three were at the Spirit Void Realm, and the rest were at the Void Soul Realm.
Among them, the white-bearded old man sitting in the middle was a familiar face. After Ning Yuyao got married, in addition to leaving Shen Yunhao the Guiyuan Breathing Technique, she also arranged a protector... Elder Zhao Sanyuan of Huayin Palace.
Unfortunately, before he could even guide Shen Yunhao's cultivation, Gu Yantang threw him into the Heavenly Abyss.
Elder Zhao even went to the Moon Palace to apologize with thorns on his back...
The elderly man in the green robe sitting at the head of the table was the deputy palace master, Wu Tianlu, who was also the strongest person besides the palace master, Gu Tianhua.
"Elder Wu Ze, what is the matter that you are in such a hurry to gather us?"
"Reporting to the Vice Palace Master! Urgent news has arrived from the Tianyu Royal Family: the Holy Maiden Mu Shuangshuang of the Demon Sect has been discovered in Lin Yuan City."
"What?"
These words shocked everyone present.
Especially Wu Tianlu, who was sitting in the first seat, frowned and asked, "Is the news true? Is it confirmed that it is Mu Shuangshuang from the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect?"
"It hasn't been verified yet, but this is a message directly from the royal family, and..."
"And what?"
"Moreover, Mu Shuangshuang appeared at the Shen family's residence!"
When the Shen family was mentioned, most of the people present scratched their heads, indicating they had never heard of them.
Of course, some people have also heard of the Shen family's reputation.
Zhao Sanyuan immediately sat up in surprise and asked, "Elder Wu, are you referring to the Shen family, the family of Ning Yuyao's husband?"
"good!"
Elder Wu sighed, “As you all may not know, the consort of Princess Yan Feiluan of the Tianyu Dynasty is also from the Shen family, and this Mu Shuangshuang is someone the princess saw with her own eyes at the Shen family!”
Wu Tianlu stroked his chin. "I remember that princess is just a little girl not even twenty years old. How could she possibly know any Holy Maiden of the Demonic Sect? If something goes wrong, it will be hard to explain to the Palace Master!"
"This is why I rushed back to discuss this with you all! I heard that Mu Shuangshuang has a close relationship with Ning Yuyao's husband. If we investigate rashly and find out the truth, it could very well incur Ning Yuyao's displeasure... You know, this girl is making more and more progress these days!"
At this moment, one of the elders present suddenly spoke up.
"I fucking remember now! Two years ago, this guy named Shen Yunhao was rumored to be harboring a witch, which even alarmed the Guanghan Palace's Enforcement Hall. In the end, nothing came of it. Why is there news about him again now? Could it be that this kid really has connections with that holy maiden?"
Upon hearing this, those present were more or less reminded of some events from back then.
It is precisely because of this incident that their young master, Gu Yantang, is still under house arrest and not allowed to leave the house.
"That's even more absurd." Wu Tianlu's face was gloomy. "Even the Guanghan Palace's Enforcement Hall couldn't find out about this. If we go and investigate, aren't we just asking for trouble? If we find out, we'll offend the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect; if we don't find out, we'll offend Ning Yuyao. We'll be caught in the middle!"
Some people frowned and said, "But after all, this concerns the Holy Maiden of the Demonic Sect. If a disaster is caused by our negligence, it will be difficult to explain if the Guanghan Palace blames us."
"Damn it, the Palace Master is in seclusion right now..."
After a moment of discussion, Zhao Sanyuan suddenly raised his hand and said, "Everyone, since it's not right for us to investigate, nor is it right for us not to investigate, why don't we just report this matter directly to the Guanghan Palace and let Ning Yuyao investigate her husband herself? That way, we won't offend anyone, and if something really goes wrong, we won't have to bear too much responsibility!"
"Yes! Elder Zhao's plan is excellent!"
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.
This kind of unnecessary blame should be passed off if possible. At worst, let the Moon Palace investigate again. Whether they find anything or not, it has nothing to do with them...
