Sorry, master, my junior sister has surrendered to the enemy!

"Girl, please come this way."

Chu Yu followed and came to another barrier gate.

Not knowing what he would face next, Chu Yu remained vigilant.

As soon as you step in, a different scenery instantly appears before your eyes.

The flaming maple forest paints the motionless sunset hanging in the sky. There is no wind here, and the calm lake reflects a building. A graceful figure is looming behind the veil, and there is a sense of tranquility under the gorgeous color scheme.

"Miss Chu Yu." Feng Yao appeared on the wooden bridge over the lake at some point and greeted Chu Yu first. His aura was much stronger than before, and it was obvious that Wang Sheng's method worked.

"Third Prince." Chu Yu simply returned the greeting and asked, "Why are you looking for me?"

Feng Yao said directly: "I would like to ask Miss Chu to help us find something. We lost some valuable items in Xuanxia Mountain."

Chu Yu refused subconsciously: "Oh? Then you may have found the wrong person. I am not a professional and am not good at tracking."

Before Feng Yao could finish his words, Chu Yu heard a pleasant female voice coming from the room: "Miss Chu, why don't you come in and talk first? We won't ask you for help in vain. You will get some benefits. Just treat it as a reward. How about that?"

The voice was not loud, but it went straight into Chu Yu's ears. The woman had never thought of avoiding Chu Yu from the beginning. Her figure was still looming behind the gauze curtain, and the voice carried a trace of mysterious fluctuations that struck people's hearts.

This person is stronger than me.

"It's a Spirit King, be careful."

The soul in the sea of ​​consciousness suddenly spoke. Chu Yu showed no expression on his face, but he became secretly alert in his heart.

The woman seemed to sense Chu Yu's vigilance and chuckled, "Oh, I meant well and didn't intend to hide in the dark. I just wanted to be honest with Miss Chu, but I didn't expect to scare you."

As she spoke, a lazy woman walked out of the house. She was wearing a light purple skirt with a long train, wide flowing sleeves, silky black hair, and no extra jewelry, letting her hair fall freely. Her facial features were pretty, charming but not coquettish. She walked straight to the wooden bridge. Feng Yao stood beside her very respectfully, took a step back without making a sound, and gave her the seat in the middle of the bridge.

Chu Yu was looking at Chu Ta, and she was also looking at Chu Yu.

Their eyes met for only a moment before she started laughing: "Third brother is so careless. How can you ask someone to do something like giving an order? You don't even know how to be polite. You should be punished."

After that, she walked down quickly. Chu Yu realized that her bare feet rustled on the maple leaves. She ran over and held Chu Yu's hand: "Miss Chu Yu and I feel like we've known each other for a long time. You came at the right time. I just got a group of new people. Why don't you help me take a look at them?"

What newcomer?

Chu Yu was about to refuse when she was pulled away by a strong force. She could only remain polite: "Princess, you are too polite. Why don't you just tell me what it is? Even if I can't help, I can still think of a solution."

"Heh~ Did A Yao let something slip? Miss Chu actually knows my identity." Feng Wu Ran was calm and composed, but he did not stop. Chu Yu was now imprisoned by a Spirit Emperor.

There stood a row of handsome men of various types in the room.

Feng Wuran picked up a strand of black hair, looked up at Chu Yu and said, "Miss Chu, who among them do you think has the demeanor of a sect disciple more?"

"I want a disciple from a big sect, a child of destiny, who doesn't fawn on the powerful, isn't afraid of the rich and powerful, is upright, and is cold on the outside but warm on the inside..."

Feng Wuran mentioned his preferences on his own initiative.

Chu Yu’s eyelids twitched. The princess was selecting a beauty pageant and wanted him to help judge it?

This is the first time she and Feng Wuran meet, so why are they so casual?

Chu Yu didn't even figure out what Feng Wuran wanted her to help find before things took a turn.

Help the princess choose a new person?

Or, was it because Feng Yao had realized that he had been fooled and wanted to seek revenge from his sister?

No, apart from fooling him, Chu Yu thought that he had never hurt Feng Yao, right?

"Miss Chu Yu, I'm new to Xuanxia Mountain. I didn't expect that the appearance of the orthodox sect disciples is very different from our royal family children. I was just impulsive, please don't be offended." Feng Wuran pointed at the men standing in front of him with a lazy arc at the corner of his mouth: "I just chose a personal guard to help hold the lamp, burn incense and guard the door at night. They are not real sect disciples, don't worry."

At this time, Feng Yao outside suddenly interrupted: "Sister, even if you are a real sect disciple, I'm afraid no one will refuse you."

“Hahaha…” Feng Wuran’s laughter was as loud as a silver bell. Then, he suddenly thought of something and said with regret, “Ayao is learning how to praise people. What a pity. The one before was really eloquent…”

Feng Wuran had a look of regret on his face, his tone was indifferent, and his eyes were cold.

To be honest, Feng Wuran, the eldest princess of Zi Yan Kingdom, gave Chu Yu an erratic, foggy feeling. He could never guess what she would do next.

She showed no hostility toward herself now, but it was obvious that she didn't like others going against her will.

Just like when Chu Yu was imprisoned here just now.

Was she afraid that Chu Yu would offend her? Or was she afraid that Chu Yu would leave on the spot? I don't know. Anyway, before Chu Yu came, he planned to act according to circumstances. It was obvious that Feng Wuran was unwilling to give others a chance to choose.

Chu Yu didn't want to be isolated like this. After all, she didn't know whether Feng Wuran's behavior was a gesture of goodwill or something else. She thought there was only one person here who could communicate with her, so she said to Shenhun, "What do you think the eldest princess of Ziyan wants to do? The 'previous person' she just mentioned should be the fifth prince, right?"

Divine Soul: "I don't know, which one do you think is more handsome?"

Chu Yu: "Oh my god, you got selected?"

Spirit: "It's a waste if you don't look at it."

"Miss Chu, who do you think looks more like a sect disciple?"

Feng Wuran's urging voice was heard, and Chu Yu shifted his attention to this row of handsome men.

Never mind, just adapt to the situation and deal with it accordingly.

Since she has to choose, help her choose carefully.

Then Chu Yu said, "The appearances of the royal family's children and the sect's disciples are different because they live in different environments."

"The hierarchy of the royal family is strictly limited by identity and bloodline. Identity and status always come first. Once we enter the sect, we naturally abandon our previous identities. Of course, we also have class differentiation, but everything is respected based on strength."

"If you are a favored child of the sect, you won't think about submitting and currying favor. You won't kneel down when you see the princess or the prince. It's impossible."

Chu Yu talked for a while, and Feng Wuran nodded with a smile, motioning Chu Yu to continue.

In fact, what he said was almost the same. Since he had to choose someone who looked like a sect disciple, Chu Yu would explain in detail the difference between sect disciples and royal children. If these men were interested, they would listen and imitate Chu Yu's words deliberately.

After a while, several people were in the right mood.

They were all timid just now, but now some people dare to look directly at Feng Wuran.

The first few who imitated were smart and could understand the most basic eye expressions.

Feng Wuran lazily lay on the reclining chair, with the corners of his mouth raised with interest. This action seemed to inspire the group of handsome men sitting below him, and they began to perform one by one.

Soon after, more and more people began to show their desire to perform. Some wanted to wield swords, some wanted to meditate and practice, and some even called the princess "Wu Ran" directly and began to address her as a senior brother or fellow disciple.

This is a bit too much.

Chu Yu wanted to solve the problem quickly, so he immediately picked out some of the smart ones who were strong and well-proportioned, handsome, and had good temperaments, and asked them to come forward. Then he only asked one question:

"What should I do when I meet the princess?"

Some people clasped their fists, some were polite, some greeted Feng Wuran in a normal manner, and only one person knelt down in a salute gesture.

The moment he knelt down, someone nearby sneered, saying that he did not fit the appearance of a sect disciple. However, Chu Yu pointed at him and asked, "Grand Princess, what do you think of him?"

When Feng Wuran saw the result, he no longer cared about his image and laughed cheerfully: "Hahahahahahahahahaha... Miss Chu, I asked you to pick someone who looks like a sect disciple and is unruly. Why did you pick someone who looks like the people around me?"

Chu Yu disagreed and said, "You also said that we are selecting guards, why do we need to put a disobedient troublemaker in front of him?"

Feng Wu Ran showed a look of praise and said: "A Yao said that you must be a thorough person. I really did not choose the wrong person. You chose the person who satisfied me the most in just a few words."

Chu Yu looked calm and said, "What kind of test was that just now, Princess? I don't need you to be picky. I haven't promised you anything yet."

Feng Wuran curled up his lips nonchalantly and said to himself, "Sure enough, the disciples of the big sects are all troublemakers."

At this time, Shenhun smacked his lips and complained in his mind: "Why are there so many things? If it were Chu Yu, you should be more superficial. You had to choose someone who has the appearance of a sect disciple and listens to her according to her preferences. You might as well just pick the best-looking one and just be perfunctory."

Chu Yu: "What if I choose one at random and she can praise me in a roundabout way and ask me to do something?"

Soul: "That can't be helped. It's your bad luck. The people you meet are all at a higher level than you. You can only take care of your life~~"

Chu Yu: "If you say anything useless again, I will shut you up completely."

Shenhun: "Then just listen to her. If you are really the one who needs her help, then it would be better if you can get out first."

Chu Yu asked Feng Wuran again: "Princess, why don't you just tell me what you want me to find this time? If the things have been stolen, then it's better to track them down as soon as possible."

At this point, Feng Wuran slowly stood up from the recliner, and with a wave of his hand, he dismissed everyone in the room. Speaking of the lost items, he could not hide his anger: "A thief stole something extremely valuable from me. That thing cost me hundreds of millions of high-quality spirit stones."

Chu Yu frowned: "Why did the princess store such a huge amount of things in the territory of Xuanxia Mountain?"

Feng Wuran: "I can only tell you that this thing does not completely belong to me. I got it by gathering the efforts of some of the noble families and aristocrats of Ziyan Country, so I must get it back."

When Chu Yu heard this, he shook his head slightly.

Feng Wuran: "Why, Miss Chu doesn't dare to help?"

Chu Yu: "Princess, if you don't tell me clearly what you want to do with something like this in Xuanxia Mountain, it will be difficult for me to do anything."

Feng Wuran did not respond: "After the matter is completed, I will give Miss Chu 10,000 high-grade spirit stones."

Chu Yu did not respond.

"fifty thousand."

Chu Yu still didn't react.

Feng Wuran was not angry about this, she still had a backup plan.

But it is obvious that since it concerns Xuanxia Mountain, she will not care unless Chu Yu knows anything about the matter.

Then Feng Wuran changed his lazy posture, sat up straight and said, "Miss Chu should have heard of Ziyan Nation's second prince Feng Wuhen. He and I are the only two people who have inherited the Soul Flame bloodline in the past thousands of years. Some of the nobles bet on me, so naturally some will bet on him."

"The Emperor will not allow us royal family members to kill each other. If I want to fight, I can only use other methods."

"The Soul Flame bloodline is rare. It's hard to find one person with it in thousands of years, but it just so happens that two of them appeared in our generation."

Chu Yu interrupted her at this time: "Strange, two people came out at once, and the younger generation has extraordinary talents. It should be a blessing from heaven for Zi Yan Country. Why does the princess look so bitter and resentful? Moreover, the emperor of Zi Yan Country is a fairyland strongman. He doesn't mind you coveting the throne so much?"

Feng Wu Ran said calmly, "I know what Miss Chu wants to say. If he and I can get along well, it will be better if we join forces. But we both have the Soul Flame bloodline, and we are both designated as the heirs to the throne. If one wants the throne, why can't the other fight for it? The winner among us is also the best candidate for the crown prince, isn't he?"

"Moreover, your majesty's power will only grow stronger. When a person's power reaches a certain level, the power to subordinates is just icing on the cake, and state affairs and government affairs will become a burden. This is also the reason why Emperor Taizu abdicated and concentrated on cultivation. Moreover... there is only one position of crown prince, but there are two people who want the throne. Emperor Taizu foresaw such a consequence and placed restrictions on Feng Wuhen and me respectively. From now on, our lives are connected. As long as one of us wants to kill the other..."

Chu Yu: "Well, if he dies, you die. If he lives, you live."

Feng Wuran: “That’s right.”

Chu Yu: "So that thing can remove the restrictions on you?"

Feng Wuran: "Miss Chu guessed it right, but it's not about removing it, it's about transferring it. Forcibly removing it will alarm the Emperor and His Majesty. That thing can quietly transfer the restriction on me to another person with royal blood. And as for the person... I have already decided."

For some reason, Chu Yu had a hunch that the person she was talking about was the fifth prince who betrayed her some time ago.

Chu Yu: "Since there is such a thing, why does the princess want to keep it and not use it?"

"I just gathered all the materials. This thing is for one-time use. Even if someone has used it, it would not be passed down. The current refining method only exists in ancient books. I haven't tried it yet. And this goes against the wishes of Emperor Taizu. So these things cannot be left in the territory of Zi Yan. Although it is dangerous to put them in Xuanxia Mountain, Emperor Taizu has no control over this place." After Feng Wuran finished speaking, he looked at Chu Yu again.

Chu Yu still had many questions that she hadn't sorted out. Feng Wuran's words might be true, but she obviously only said part of it. As it was about the internal strife of the royal family, Chu Yu naturally wouldn't ask any more questions. She just pretended to believe it and asked a question related to herself: "Princess, why are you so confident in letting the disciples of Xuanxia Mountain handle this matter? We can't say that we are incompatible, but we can still dislike each other. And since it involves the internal strife of the royal family, what's the benefit of involving an outsider like me?"

Feng Wu Ran heard Chu Yu's words and it seemed like there was still something to talk about. He slowly raised the corners of his lips and said, "Because Ah Yao said that Miss Chu is someone who can maintain a good relationship with both parties. She is cautious and thoughtful and will not get involved in unnecessary things."

Chu Yu: "That's a good reason, but I am a stranger to the princess, and I have only met the third prince once. Such trust cannot convince me."

Convince? Then persuade her well. Feng Wuran was delighted and continued, "Because Miss Chu is strong and famous, it will be more convenient for her to find things lost in Xuanxia Mountain."

Chu Yu: "I am not that omnipotent. If I want to use my connections to find something, I will definitely have to involve others. The princess probably doesn't want me to reveal the existence of this thing to others."

Feng Wuran: "I need help from the people of Xuanxia Mountain. We have been searching for two days and found nothing. If my people come to search this large area, it will not only alarm Xuanxia Mountain, but also Ziyan Country."

Chu Yu: "The princess has stored something very important in our territory, and she doesn't want to alarm Xuanxia Mountain. I feel so scared when you say that."

Feng Wuran was a little impatient: "Miss Chu is stubborn."

Chu Yu's tone remained the same, with the corners of his mouth raised: "If the princess uses her power to force me to do it now, I might still obey her obediently."

Feng Wuran: "That won't work. Miss Chu will definitely abandon me after she leaves."

Chu Yu agreed with her honestly: "Yes, this is Xuanxia Mountain after all."

When Feng Wuran heard this, his breathing stagnated. Yes, a person with a strong personality is willing to talk to Chu Yu in a nice tone for so long, isn’t it because this is Xuanxia Mountain?

When you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. Feng Wuran likes to be strong, but she is not impulsive and brainless. Chu Yu obviously doesn't want to be forced. If she uses the strength of the Spirit Emperor realm to force her, I don't know what kind of people Chu Yu will attract to save her.

During this pause, Chu Yu caught the gap in her thoughts and wanted to take advantage of her confusion to leave. He said loudly: "Princess, I can't take care of this matter. Goodbye."

Chu Yu had just walked onto the wooden bridge when Feng Yao saw her coming out. He subconsciously wanted to stop her, but suddenly he heard Feng Wuran's voice behind him: "Miss Chu just reminded me that this is Xuanxia Mountain."

"A disciple from Xuanxia Mountain told me that Miss Chu is a very loyal person to her friends."

"If there were no other involvement, I really want to make friends with Miss Chu."

Feng Yao subconsciously retreated behind Feng Wuran. Chu Yu heard this but didn't think Feng Wuran was trying to get close to him.

"Miss Chu, whether you want to help or not, you might as well take a look at this before making a decision."

Feng Wuran handed Chu Yu a message talisman, which was her backup plan.

The texture, patterns, and aura of this talisman paper are all very familiar.

It turned out to be... Qi Shuoxing.
