Faced with such praise, Luo Yuheng simply shook his head slightly, indicating that there was no need to be so polite...
the other side.
Outside the solemn and ancient-style gates of the Imperial Preceptor's residence,
A seemingly calm but actually magnificent gathering is about to begin.
Three individuals from different backgrounds, yet all equally remarkable, converge here:
On one side is Emperor Yuanjing, who sits atop the throne;
On the other side was the renowned and exceptionally brave Prince Zhenbei;
The last party is naturally Wei Changxuan.
When these three heavyweight figures appeared in the same place almost simultaneously,
The already tense atmosphere suddenly reached its peak.
Chapter 68 The Results of Three People Cultivating Together!
Finally, after several days of persistent efforts,
As each of the three cultivated to their peak, they also brought the entire system to a state of balance.
This marks the arrival of the most important turning point in the entire spiritual practice process.
Immediately following, a sound that shook the heavens and the earth (
—Not just the overall level of the three participants.
They have all experienced unprecedented growth and development.
The moment they opened their eyes and returned to the real world, their three hearts, which had been tense for so long, finally relaxed.
Their eyes met, and both of them exuded immense joy and satisfaction.
At this moment, Mu Nanzhi spoke excitedly.
"I am so grateful to you. If I hadn't met you, I might never have had the chance to escape the control of the Prince of Zhenbei."
And they regained their freedom.
And standing beside her was a Taoist master known as the "Ice Queen".
Despite maintaining his usual calm expression.
But the joy and gratitude in his eyes still betrayed him:
"I am also very grateful to you for giving me such valuable experience and opportunities. I will no longer be alone on the road ahead."
Wei Changxuan gently embraced Mu Nanzhi, his arms warm and firm.
It was as if it were the most solid safe haven in the world.
He gently lowered his head to look at Luo Yuheng standing to the side, his gaze revealing an unprecedented seriousness and determination.
"Don't worry! I'll be here for you from now on!"
Hearing this, Luo Yuheng felt a warm current well up in his heart.
Despite her still-cool and aloof appearance, her eyes shone with approval.
At the same time, Mu Nanzhi nestled even closer to Wei Changxuan in her arms.
At that moment, in her heart, Wei Changxuan was her greatest support in this life, giving her an unprecedented sense of security.
Just as this warm atmosphere filled the Imperial Preceptor's residence,
A completely different scene is unfolding on the streets outside.
The Prince of Zhenbei was surprised to see a carriage slowly approaching from not far away—the carriage that Emperor Yuanjing would only use when he personally visited.
This discovery immediately surprised him slightly. He couldn't help but speculate:
Could it be that the Emperor also knows about the matter between Mu Nanzhi and Luo Yuheng?
Emperor Yuanjing slowly emerged from the luxurious carriage.
His handsome, tall figure cast a long shadow in the sunlight.
However, his tightly furrowed brows revealed the complex emotions he was experiencing.
"I was just about to visit the Imperial Preceptor's residence, hoping to discuss national affairs with him, who has always loved to talk about them."
"But what are you doing here instead of trying to seize Mu Nanzhi's spiritual essence?"
At this moment, the Prince of Zhenbei replied, "Your Majesty, I heard that my beloved wife, Mu Nanzhi, seems to be there as well, so I came here specifically to bring her home."
Emperor Yuanjing's gaze became even sharper and deeper.
"Well, since that's the case... then I'll go with you to take a look."
"This also provides an opportunity to personally inquire about the Imperial Advisor's well-being."
Emperor Yuanjing said this.
He believed this was an excellent opportunity to probe the Grand Preceptor's views and stance on the recent events.
The Prince of Zhenbei nodded, and then the two walked side by side, their silence filled with an indescribable heavy atmosphere.
It felt as if you could smell an invisible pressure in the air.
Together they headed toward the Imperial Preceptor's residence, located in the heart of the capital.
Every brick and every tile on this road seems to be witnessing the impending dramatic changes.
Before long, they arrived at the Imperial Preceptor's residence.
Above the high wall hung a plaque with the three characters "Imperial Preceptor's Residence," its surface gleaming faintly silver in the moonlight.
It added a touch of mystery and solemnity.
Just as the two were about to step through the long-closed vermilion gate,
The soft turning of the door hinges broke the surrounding silence—the heavy wooden door began to slowly open.
The first person to emerge from inside was Wei Changxuan, dressed in luxurious brocade robes and wearing a composed smile.
Next came Mu Nanzhi, with her elegant demeanor and graceful steps, and finally Luo Yuheng, with a calm expression but resolute eyes.
These three important figures appeared outside the door after a secret meeting, bringing an unexpected shock to everyone.
Especially Mu Nanzhi, who was once hailed as the most beautiful woman in the Great Feng Dynasty.
In stark contrast to her usual aloof demeanor, her face was now flushed with excitement, glowing with a healthy radiance.
Her eyes shone with a light I had never seen before, and the happiness emanating from within was almost palpable.
Luo Yuheng, who stood silently guarding from the side, appeared particularly calm and composed.
Although there was no obvious smile on his lips, his eyes were full of warmth.
Upon witnessing all of this, the two emperor-level powerhouses were immediately caught in an awkward situation.
In particular, Emperor Yuanjing's expression changed drastically, as if he had been struck by lightning, losing his original composure.
Beneath the dark clouds lay a face filled with anger and bewilderment.
His wide eyes seemed to be spitting out raging flames.
His gaze was fixed on Luo Yuheng, who was walking at the very end of the group.
As the supreme ruler, he once believed he had everything under control, including the intricate network of relationships between the entire court and various powerful factions.
But I never expected this day would come.
He actually witnessed the presence of the Imperial Advisor Luo Yuheng, a core member of their own faction who should have been loyal to them.
How could he have established such a deep connection with Wei Changxuan, a leading figure in the opposing camp?
This was an unprecedented challenge for him, who had always stood on the throne with absolute authority!
His fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white, and a raging fire burned within him.
Like a powder keg filled with fuel, it could explode at any moment.
Meanwhile, on the other side, the Prince of Zhenbei went from initially being weak and powerless,
The process quickly turned into a flushed face.
His inner turmoil was vividly expressed through his rapidly deepening and accelerating breathing.
His original hope of achieving a breakthrough in cultivation with the help of his wife has now vanished.
Instead, it turned into this shameful and infuriating scene.
He could hardly believe that Princess Mu Nanzhi, whom he had always cherished like a precious jewel, would be secretly having an affair behind his back.
And the target they chose was Wei Changxuan, who was considered a common enemy.
His chest heaved with his frenzied emotions, and deep within his heart, he roared repeatedly:
"What a heartless woman! How dare you betray me like this!"
As for you, Wei Changxuan... you are doomed!
Sooner or later, I'll make you regret ever being born.
At this moment, for this once-powerful overlord,
It wasn't just the internal discord within the family that made it intolerable for him.
More importantly, his long-cultivated personal reputation and status in the court have been severely trampled upon like never before.
Chapter 69 The Enraged Prince of Zhenbei, the Hatred of Having His Wife Stolen!
Just as Emperor Yuanjing was about to order his servants to announce his request for an audience,
The previously tightly closed door suddenly opened silently.
Immediately afterwards, three figures emerged from the mansion—Wei Changxuan, Mu Nanzhi, and the person who made him extremely uneasy: Luo Yuheng.
The first two had smiles on their faces and looked quite content, clearly having just experienced a very pleasant and wonderful time;
However, the latter also appeared calm and composed.
However, the depths of his eyes, which he inadvertently reveals, seem to conceal even more complex emotions and changes.
