CHAPTER 418: CHAPTER 330: TRULY A MADMAN_2

Zi Yuan let out a long sigh of relief as she watched the bead in her hand return to normal.

Even though the elder was far away in the Demon Realm, she felt an inexplicable pressure.

"Setting up the array here, surely no one would think of it, right?"

Zi Yuan’s mouth curled into a smirk as she muttered to herself.

"However... it still requires that half-human, half-demon bastard."

"Troublesome!"

The thought of this made her frown.

"Where did Xian Si hide her?"

"If you dare to brush me off again, don’t blame me for being rude!"

Zi Yuan’s gaze turned cold.

"Does the array still need Ning Immortal?"

Chen Xuan, hiding on the beam of the rooftop, muttered in his heart.

Looking at Zi Yuan below, wondering whether he should capture her now, but after considering it, he decided to wait for the time being.

He then released a strand of Spiritual Power, landing it on her.

After doing so, he quietly left the Nine Immortals Tower.

...

August Inn.

"What is the Demon Realm planning to do?"

"Are they planning to attack September City?"

Walking on the wooden stairs, Chen Xuan pondered.

"Young Master Xuan, Your Highness requests you to visit her."

Just as Chen Xuan arrived at the top floor, Long Da’s voice came through.

"Now?"

Chen Xuan was somewhat surprised, pointing at the sky, "In the dead of night?"

"Yes, Her Highness has been waiting for you!"

Long Da was also puzzled, but Qin Ying had instructed him to make sure Chen Xuan goes to her no matter what time he returns.

"Understood!"

Chen Xuan mumbled a response before walking towards Qin Ying’s room.

"Come in directly."

Qin Ying’s voice came from inside the room.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan pushed the door open and entered.

The room was dark, lit only by a smokeless candle, and Qin Ying sat beside the table.

"What’s the matter? Waiting for me so late?"

Chen Xuan laughed as he walked over, sitting across from her rather naturally.

"The Demon Race has arrived at September City, you know that, right?"

Qin Ying’s eyes fixed on him.

Chen Xuan raised an eyebrow slightly; he disliked that gaze, feeling somewhat seen through.

"Can you see through my heart?"

He directly asked.

"No."

Qin Ying shook her head.

"Then..."

Before Chen Xuan could finish, Qin Ying added, "I can sense if you’re lying."

"What?!"

He exclaimed in surprise, looking at her warily.

"Don’t worry, no one would care about you for no reason."

"Hmph!"

Chen Xuan snorted coldly, "Why are you looking for me so late then?"

It suddenly occurred to him that Luan Ying asked him about the Three Judicial Departments earlier that night; he lied then, saying he didn’t know.

That must be it!

"Alright, what’s with your expression? I’ll be careful in the future! Now tell me everything you know!"

Qin Ying’s face turned serious.

Chen Xuan was somewhat surprised and asked, "Why are you so concerned about this?"

"I am the Princess of Great Yu, shouldn’t I inquire about the Demon Race entering September City?"

Qin Ying glared at him.

Asking pointless questions!

"Fine, you’re right."

What an attitude!

Nevertheless, he told her everything he knew, but didn’t mention the array for the time being.

After all, it involved Ning Immortal.

He preferred to clarify it before speaking about it.

"Seeking death!"

Qin Ying’s eyes flashed coldly.

If not for certain concerns back then, Emperor Yu would have personally destroyed the Demon Realm.

"Don’t act rashly for now."

Chen Xuan spoke up.

"Why?"

Qin Ying looked at him with dissatisfaction; with the Demon Race entering September City, who knows what trouble might arise afterward; too many died back in the day.

Not only ordinary people, but also the experts of Great Yu.

Even the Champion Marquis perished in that battle.

It can be said that the enmity between Great Yu and the Demon Realm is deadly.

Since she knows, she would not stand by idly; it’s her responsibility as part of the Great Yu Royal Family.

"I feel it’s not that simple; I want to see what this fox really intends to do."

"Even if you kill her, can you guarantee there are no other Demon Race members infiltrating September City?"

"This..."

Upon hearing this, Qin Ying hesitated.

Killing a Profound Realm Demon Race member indeed is no big deal.

An easy task.

But if it’s indeed as Chen Xuan says, it might alert the enemy prematurely.

Somewhat counterproductive.

"Moreover, don’t worry, I left a strand of Spiritual Power on her; if there’s any issue, I can sense it."

"Alright!"

Qin Ying nodded slightly but sternly warned him, "Make sure there are no mistakes; otherwise, don’t blame me for being relentless."

"Understood, am I not a Dao Realm practitioner? Don’t I have this degree of confidence?"

Chen Xuan rolled his eyes.

How much distrust was there?

"Seriously, this matter is no joke."

Qin Ying said solemnly.

"I assure you there won’t be any problems, esteemed Princess!"

Chen Xuan immediately stood up, his expression turned serious and he replied loudly.

But the next moment, he grinned, asking, "Are you hiding something from me?"

"No!"

Qin Ying instantly denied.

"You’re lying; don’t think only you can see through others, I can too!"

"Didn’t you sense it when we first met?"

Chen Xuan deliberately tested her.

And he had always been curious about what she possessed that could block his telepathy.

"Hehe!"

Qin Ying chuckled meaningfully, "Did you really see through?"

She might believe other things, but this particular one was impossible.

That was Emperor Father’s tactic.

The strongest in the Eastern Continent, could he manage it?

A mere Dao Realm practitioner!

Impossible!

"Enough, I need to rest, you can leave now!"

Qin Ying didn’t want to continue entangling with him, directly opened her mouth to dismiss him.

"Hmph!"

Chen Xuan snorted in dissatisfaction, "If you don’t say, I will still find out!"
