“Hmm?”
Su Chen looked at the old man in confusion, wondering if this was asking for contact information in a fantasy setting.
He pondered for a moment, then took out a jade slip from his storage ring and threw it to the old man.
“Senior, if you need anything in the future, you can use this jade slip to contact me.”
“Sure.”
The old man took the jade slip and put it into his storage ring. He waved his hand and said, “My mission has been completed. It’s time to go back and report to my young mistress.”
After that, he took a step forward and his figure instantly disappeared.
Looking at the place where the old man disappeared, Su Chen frowned slightly.
The old man’s unfinished words echoed in his mind.
There seemed to be some hidden information in these words.
However, the old man wanted to say something but hesitated. It was obvious that someone had instructed him not to say anything.
This made Su Chen curious.
Unfortunately, the old man had only said half of it, leaving Su Chen unable to guess the rest.
In the Imperial Palace of Dashang.
The buildings here were exquisite and endless, each like a bright moon over the sea, magnificent yet elegant, emanating a dominating grandeur.
In the deepest part of the palace, a short palace stood, completely out of place with the surrounding buildings.
It was very desolate, with mottled walls and some weeds growing out.
Only the area in front of the palace had a medicinal field, filled with Dragon Beard Grass. Each clump was about the size of a palm, looking to be around one year old.
A breeze blew past, swaying the Dragon Beard Grass and the hem of a young girl’s skirt.
She looked to be around 16 or 17, with black hair like clouds and bright eyes and teeth like pearls, a dreamy beauty. As her clothes fluttered, she looked like a fairy riding the wind.
“Young Mistress, 1 have done everything you asked me to do.”
The voice of the old man rang out.
Then, an elder in blue robes appeared, standing quietly in a corner.
He restrained his aura and blended into his surroundings.
His strength had already reached the peak stage of the Quasi-Saint Realm, but there were Saint Realm experts in the Dashang Empire, so he had to be careful.
If he was exposed, it would be fine if he died, but if he implicated his young mistress, that would be a huge sin!
“Thank you, Elder Wang.”
The young girl spoke, her voice like a yellow oriole singing in the valley, crisp and pleasant to the ear.
She held a wooden ladle in her slender hand and scooped up some clear water from the bucket beside her. She carefully poured it around the Dragon Beard Grass.
She cherished the Dragon Beard Grass to the extreme.
“Young Mistress…”
Seeing this, Elder Wang pursed his lips and continued, “Young Mistress, I’ve delivered the letter to the Great Mystery Holy Son, he did not seem to have any intention of leaving…”
“I see.”
The young girl nodded slightly as if she was not surprised at all.
Her purple pupils were a little misty as she opened her mouth and said, “In that case, all of you can hide in the dark and help my benefactor block the experts of Dashang.”
Elder Wang was speechless.
There were countless experts in the Dashang Empire.
They were just a remnant force, what could they do to stop the entire Dashang?
At most, they could resist several Dukes.
However, if they made a move against those Dukes, the Emperor would surely sense a powerful hidden force.
With the current Dashang Emperor’s cold and overbearing attitude, he would definitely investigate to the end.
At that time, it was hard to say if they could still hide within the Dashang Empire.
After all, the Emperor’s eyes could not tolerate any sand!
Even someone as strong as the Little Thunderclap Temple had been destroyed. If the Emperor of Dashang wanted to kill them, it would be too easy.
“Young Mistress, to do this… Is it really worth it?”
Elder Wang sighed and said helplessly, “We only need to endure for a few decades. When 1 contact the remnants of Master’s forces, it will not be a problem for us to overthrow Dashang! If we are exposed now… It’s not worth the cost!”
“As long as I can help my benefactor, everything is worth it!” the young girl said softly.
Although her voice was gentle, it carried a hint of unquestionable authority.
“It is merely a stalk of Dragon Beard Grass. We have already done enough…”
Elder Wang continued.
The Great Mystery Holy Son had killed a prince of the Dashang Empire…
Hadn’t they already covered up that huge incident?
Although Dachu helped too, their efforts far exceeded Dachu’s.
They had assassinated most of Dashang’s spies, leaving the survivors without any useful information.
Thus even now Dashang still didn’t know how the prince had died a year ago, much less by whose hand!
If the Dashang Emperor knew that the prince had died at Su Chen’s hands…
Then everything would be different today.
Perhaps the Emperor would still have thrown out a high-grade Dao weapon to invite Su Chen. But the people sent after his rejection would definitely not be the young prodigies, but Quasi-Saint Realm experts or even the Emperor himself!
The current Dashang Empire was still extremely restrained.
This was mainly because they had only seen Su Chen defeat Marquis Champion.
The two sides were not in a life-or-death struggle, so letting the young prodigies make a move maintained some civility.
Dashang didn’t want to leave behind a reputation of bullying the weak.
“Elder Wang!”
The girl’s voice gradually became cold.
She turned around and looked at Elder Wang with her beautiful purple eyes.
“Do you know that when my mother needed the Dragon Beard Grass the most, only the benefactor was willing to give me a stalk?”
“Uh…”
When Elder Wang heard this, he was instantly speechless.
At this moment, he finally understood that the place of the Great Mystery Holy Son in his young mistress’s heart had probably reached an unshakable level.
After all, to lend a hand at one’s most critical moment, even if just a straw, would be remembered for life.
In the end, it was because his Young Mistress was too similar to the previous master.
Both of them placed too much emphasis on relationships.
His previous master had encountered an unreliable Dashang Emperor and lost his cultivation and life in one night.
However, he did not know…
What kind of existence was the Great Mystery Holy Son the Young Mistress had met?
She was used to giving silently without asking for anything in return.
However, Elder Wang was different. It was not his style to do good deeds without letting others know!
Thinking of this…
Elder Wang chuckled as he took out a jade slip from his storage ring and gently rubbed it.
With the Great Mystery Holy Son’s talent and cultivation speed, it would probably not be long before he became a Saint Realm expert!
At that time, if his Young Mistress encountered danger, he could directly inform the Great Mystery Holy Son. Wouldn’t he be able to summon a divine force and intervene?
One had to know Su Chen was a prodigy who had passed the tenth Nirvana Tribulation!
With this foundation, his Saint Tribulation would at least be at the sixth level or above!
With such an expert helping her, his Young Mistress might even become the first Empress in the history of Dashang!
