Chapter 2735 - 50: Don’t Lean Alone on the High Feiyun Tower (Part 2)

It’s best if She Guyu wisely runs away, or perhaps can offer some help?

Lu Qilang, with a calm face, found it quite amusing in his heart.

There are many benefits on She Guyu, but right here in Mo Yun City, there must be other opportunities as well. This is what Spirit Perception sensed, how could he be misled by a few words?

He never makes choices, what he wants, he takes all. Only what he leaves behind is left for other demons to pick.

He wants the benefits of She Guyu, and the benefits of Mo Yun City.

Yu Xin being clever on his own exposed the issues of this guy himself! Everyone else remained silent, yet he pretended to be calm, hastily shifting attention. If he had no problems, then who did?

Now Lu Qilang is very certain in his heart, this time in Mo Yun City, the opportunity is about to fall on Yu Xin.

Who knows what stroke of luck this guy stumbled upon, what clue he found, intending to monopolize it...

"Everyone present is a talent, today Liang Feng is here, enough to imagine a century!" Zhu Zheng cleared his throat, took charge again, took the initiative to drink a cup, saying some self-assumed pretty words, attracting agreement from the rest of the gentlemen with a floral response.

This Feiyun Tower is too high, too magnificent.

Zhu Lanruo, Zhu Zheng, Yu Xin, Yuan Mengji, Ken Xihua.

The most influential young demon clans in Mo Yun City are all here, truly a gathering of high friends.

A house full of brothers and sisters, each with a belly full of intentions!

Lu Qilang patiently listened to him finish, then said, "Let’s stop here for today, I should go pursue She Guyu... letting her catch her breath would be very bad."

"Indeed, indeed, important matters first!" Zhu Zheng stood up to see him off, eagerly said, "Is there any service a younger brother can offer?"

Lu Qilang smiled and said, "If there’s a need, I will notify you."

Then he slightly nodded to the others and left with a suspended sword.

That demeanor was truly dashing, rare to see in a lifetime.

Both the host and the guest left, leaving no reason for others to stay, they all took their leave. In an instant, the instruments stopped, and the feast scattered.

Only the Zhu family’s siblings, as the hosts of the banquet, remained to wrap things up.

It’s actually not quite right to say "siblings." The thin-blooded Zhu Zheng doesn’t qualify to be called Zhu Lanruo’s brother. The so-called eldest son of the Zhu family is just self-glorification. Unless he achieves a titled king before the age of a hundred, recording his name in the Heavenly Destiny jade annals of the Ancient Imperial City, only then might he have a chance to be granted the pure blood of a Heavenly Demon. Otherwise, he can never be on equal footing with Zhu Lanruo.

"Who do you think, among them, will compete for the benefits on She Guyu?"

The attendees and musicians fully dispersed.

Usually outwardly innocent Zhu Lanruo, now seated at the head seat, had no expression on her face. Yet she naturally exuded the dignity of one in power.

Her voice was also lofty, no longer gentle.

Sitting at the secondary seat, Zhu Zheng poured wine for himself slowly, no longer frivolous, said, "Those who are truly foolish enough to be moved by a few words from Yu Xin are none other than Yuan Mengji and Ken Xihua. Yuan Mengji is fierce in appearance but timid in heart. He wants to fight but dares not fight too much, it should just be a light probe at most. On the contrary, Ken Xihua is rather ruthless and recklessly bold, he might just do something unexpected."

"What do you think he might do?" Zhu Lanruo asked.

"That I can’t guess." Zhu Zheng laughed and said, "Her Highness should know better. After all, only his family has a Quan Xizai, who perished for a woman’s smile, never to return!"

Quan Xizai, reduced to ashes and smoke, surely never thought that in life people gathered around him in admiration, yet in death, he became just a jest at a table of leftovers.

Amidst high noble guests and foul doors, a solitary grave overgrown with weeds!

Zhu Lanruo again asked, "Do you think Quan Xizai’s matters are related to him?"

Zhu Zheng, slightly drunk, sniffed the wine aroma: "I can only say, he is capable of doing such things. But whether he did it or not, I can’t judge. After all, even the noble True Monster Quan Yingyang personally came, yet couldn’t find the result. How could I have that ability?"

"You are already quite capable. Who among those fools could match you?" Zhu Lanruo said seriously, "If not for being born in the Zhu family, if not for insufficient blood, you wouldn’t be inferior to me. But even so, your reach for kingship is to be expected. All previous hardships are paving the way for a smooth path forward, I look forward to calling you... brother, sooner."

Zhu Zheng solemnly said, "I will certainly strive to not fail your expectations, Your Highness."

Zhu Lanruo nodded approvingly, then asked, "How’s the investigation on the Yu family’s matter going?"

Zhu Zheng put down his wine cup, replied earnestly, "To avoid alerting them, I have been very cautious in following it. So, we are not yet very clear on the final location of the treasure. But I can guarantee, once the Shenxiao Secret Cache opens, we will be no more than ten breaths behind the Yu Family."

If Yuan Mengji and the others hadn’t left, hearing this they would probably jump up.

The legendary strongman of the Yu clan, Yu Zhen’s young title was "King of Shenxiao"!

Coupled with Yu Xin’s innate silver wings, and his self-claimed "Little Yu Zhen," it’s imaginable what scale of opportunity the Shenxiao Secret Cache represents.

On Zhu Zheng’s caution, Zhu Lanruo showed affirmation: "It’s better to be a bit late, take some risks, rather than ending up with nothing."

"Ending up with nothing?" Zhu Zheng sneered, "Are they even worthy? If you ask me, there’s a custom in the Human Race of slaughtering pigs for the New Year, we’re about almost at that time."

"Technically, but sometimes Heavenly Will is hard to predict." Zhu Lanruo’s dark eyebrows furrowed slightly, "Just like this feast today, it really shouldn’t have been held. It was supposed to be a simple Probe and Take, and now there’s this spoiler Lu Qilang, adding several risks."
