Thus, such a stalemate had formed.

Otherwise, if the Great Zhou Imperial Family embraced a scorched-earth mentality,

these few Sky-Men would not be able to remain so peacefully within the Capital city.

Their ashes would have probably been scattered long ago.

“Qianxue, you and Qing Luan stay at home for a while, I’m going out to take a look,”

Cheng Guang said to Ning Qianxue beside him, and then took a step forward.

...

His body instantly vanished from the spot.

Ning Qianxue watched as Cheng Guang suddenly disappeared, her bright eyes dumbfounded for a moment and, looking rather silly, blinked several times before sighing.

“The Princely Heir really is naughty.”

“Just now, Dad said, ‘Don’t let you run about.”

“Should I go and tattle?”

Ning Qianxue said with a slightly mischievous look in her eyes.

Of course,

Ning Qianxue was just saying this and actually had no way to tattle.

Cheng Zhihai forbidding Cheng Guang, the Town-Nation Duke’s Heir, from running around everywhere during this time was entirely because Cheng Guang, the Town-Nation Duke’s Heir, was still quite a tenderfoot in his eyes.

But the problem was…

Cheng Guang was not weak at all now.

In fact, it could be said he was very strong.

Ordinary Sky-Men were nothing in front of Cheng Guang.

Even those powerhouses from the Sects and Clans were nothing in front of him.

Just thinking about this made Ning Qianxue feel somewhat sorry for Cheng Zhihai.

Cheng Zhihai knew nothing.

He still thought Cheng Guang, the Town-Nation Duke’s Heir, was still that tenderfoot.

Ning Qianxue’s gaze retraced from where Cheng Guang had been standing and aimed towards the direction of the Great Zhou Imperial Palace.

“The Princely Heir’s sudden departure must be to the Great Zhou Imperial Palace.”

“Is the Princely Heir trying to help Great Zhou solve the issue with these Sky-Men?”

Ning Qianxue muttered to herself, feeling a bit puzzled.

In her view, Cheng Guang really had no need to help Great Zhou resolve this crisis.

To Cheng Guang, whether Great Zhou fared well or not should be of no concern.

Ning Qianxue didn’t quite understand, but she respected all of Cheng Guang’s choices.

After watching the Great Zhou Imperial Palace for a while, she withdrew her gaze somewhat disinterestedly.

“Knowing earlier, I should’ve asked the Princely Heir to take me along to see.”

Ning Qianxue felt a bit regretful.

In Ning Qianxue’s past life memories, most were days accompanied by loneliness and solitude.

Hence, after awakening her past life memories,

her heart still longed for lively scenes.

The urge to watch the action was always stirring within her.

“Princely Wife…”

Qing Luan’s gentle voice pulled Ning Qianxue back from her thoughts.

“Princely Wife, where is the Princely Heir?”

Qing Luan had just finished packing her luggage and came out of the room, only to see Ning Qianxue standing alone in the garden looking towards the Great Zhou Imperial Palace.

Cheng Guang, the Town-Nation Duke’s Heir, was nowhere to be seen.

Hearing Qing Luan’s question, Ning Qianxue’s gaze returned from the far-off direction of the Great Zhou Imperial Palace towards Qing Luan, and she somewhat unhappily responded,

“Let’s not bother about him.”

“He sneaked off to have his own fun.”

Qing Luan was stunned upon hearing this.

Sneaked off to have fun??

That sounded…

not quite right???

Why did it feel as if the Princely Heir had gone to places like Wanhuatower?

However, thinking about it again, that didn’t seem right either.

Not to mention the Princely Heir already had Ning Qianxue, who had little interest in places like Wanhuatower.

Even if he was interested,

Ning Qianxue, as the Wife of Crown Prince, shouldn’t show such a reaction and expression.

Listening to Ning Qianxue’s words and observing her expressions, Qing Luan was somewhat puzzled.

She was starting not to understand it.

Ning Qianxue, pushing Qing Luan toward a nearby stone table, spoke,

“Come on, Qing Luan, don’t think too much. If the Princely Heir doesn’t include us in his activities, we won’t keep dinner for him.”

“Qing Luan, what would you like to eat today?”

“I’ll cook it for you, and you can taste my craftsmanship?”

“The Princely Heir won’t have this fortune today.”

Ning Qianxue’s lips parted slightly, and she chattered playfully.

Qing Luan didn’t think much further and conversed with Ning Qianxue.

His mind, however, drifted towards Cheng Guang, whose whereabouts were unknown.

…

Cheng Guang did not know that after he had left, Ning Qianxue’s emotional drama had become so rich.

If he had known,

Cheng Guang would have been both amused and bewildered.

After taking a step, within just a few breaths, Cheng Guang had already appeared near the Great Zhou Imperial Palace.

As he approached the Great Zhou Imperial Palace, Cheng Guang could feel

a powerful Primordial Spirit covering the entire Great Zhou Imperial Palace.

This mighty force of the Primordial Spirit enveloped the entire Great Zhou Imperial Palace, completely isolating it from the outside world.

Since the territory of the Great Zhou Imperial Palace was vast, even though the entire palace was completely covered by this powerful Primordial Spirit, the strength was extremely weak.

It seemed that with just a slight push,

one could pierce through the thin veil of the Primordial Spirit covering the Great Zhou Imperial Palace.

There wasn’t much protective power; the main strategy was essentially a bluff.

Such tactics

might have some effect on warriors below the level of Sky-Man or on ordinary Sky-Men.

But for Cheng Guang, they were utterly useless.

With a slight movement of his thoughts, his Primordial Spirit flowed out like rivers of golden light, completely submerging Cheng Guang’s body.

He stepped forward again.

His body and Primordial Spirit touched the thin veil of the Primordial Spirit covering the Great Zhou Imperial Palace, as if entering water.

Ripples arose on the surface of the Primordial Spirit veil.

Without any hesitation, Cheng Guang’s body moved and directly entered the veil covering the Great Zhou Imperial Palace.

Cheng Guang entered the Great Zhou Imperial Palace.

And within a breath after Cheng Guang had entered,

at the very spot where Cheng Guang had just appeared, a tall, gaunt elderly man dressed in a gray robe appeared.

In his wrinkled hands, he held a black walking stick made of an unknown wood.

Hovering mid-air,

he looked at the spot where Cheng Guang had just appeared,

his brows slightly furrowed.

“Who just entered the Great Zhou Imperial Palace without notifying me?”

“Is it those unruly people from Heaven Mountain Palace again?”

The gray-robed elder muttered to himself, contemplating going to inquire with the people from Heaven Mountain Palace.

But then, he felt it troublesome.

Looking at the fluctuations on the thin veil covering the Great Zhou Imperial Palace, he shook his head, “Judging from these ripples, the intruder seems not very strong.”

“Either their strength is very weak, or stronger than mine.”

“Either way, there’s no way to question them now.”

The gray-robed elder reached out and touched the thin veil of the Primordial Spirit covering the Great Zhou Imperial Palace.

The veil, which had just been rippling, quickly returned to calm.

The gray-robed elder then stayed in place for a while, sensing the surrounding atmosphere.

After sensing nothing,

he gently tapped his walking stick.

His body slowly faded, gradually disappearing on the spot.

Meanwhile,

Cheng Guang had already entered deep into the Great Zhou Imperial Palace.

Familiar with the Great Zhou Imperial Palace, Cheng Guang did not idle upon entering but directly headed towards Wu Ling’s place at the Crown Prince’s Manor.

As he moved towards Wu Ling’s Crown Prince’s Manor,

Cheng Guang could also see

that within the Great Zhou Imperial Palace,

the previously ubiquitous palace guards were all gone.

In their place,

were disciples dressed in the garb of unnamed Sects.

The eunuchs and Palace Maids, however, remained as usual,

though in much smaller numbers.

Many eunuchs and Palace Maids, when passing these Sects’ disciples, dared not even breathe loudly, simply hastening their steps to speed past.

Regardless of which Sect’s disciples they were, they were not to be offended.

Such behavior was not much different from how they faced the royal family.

Cheng Guang frowned slightly at this sight.

Could the Great Zhou Imperial Family really endure such treatment?

Being bullied by Sect powers to their doorstep, and they dare not even breathe loudly??

Had they not thought about resisting?

If the Great Zhou Imperial Family decided to resist, how many of these Sect disciples would have been slain by now??

Cheng Guang found it hard to understand the scene before him.
