Chapter 860 Playing

Chu Zhiyuan no longer forced himself.

The same would apply if it were Yu Jing.

No matter how great Fu Zheng's contributions were, she was still an outsider in the eyes of the Phoenix Dynasty.

This is different from myself.

At least he still had the identity of a royal consort, the ties with the twelve princesses, and the guidance of the Spiritual Pavilion.

When they were about to leave, Li Cunren showed no intention of leaving and followed him back to sit at the stone table.

"Brother-in-law, are you still looking for Cheng Yunzheng?"

"I will take a look first and then decide whether to take action or not."

"Well, actually I don't need to say anything more." Li Cunren said: "Brother-in-law, you are still very steady."

If you think carefully about what Chu Zhiyuan did, you will find that he always hits the mark with one strike.

I'm not sure I can do it.

"Brother-in-law, are you going to the outer battlefield?"

"It will be over in a while."

"It's a battlefield outside the domain. With your luck, you should be able to encounter something extraordinary and improve your cultivation."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "It's also possible that my luck has run out and it's hard to get anything out of it."

"People who are lucky will always be lucky, like the twelfth sister, who was born into a noble family, had a strong bloodline, and married a good husband."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "What do you have to teach me, big brother?"

He knew that Li Cunren would not mention the battlefield outside the domain for no reason.

Li Cunren said solemnly: "I have a friend who disappeared in the battlefield outside the domain."

Chu Zhiyuan frowned.

Li Cunren said slowly: "He didn't have Li Yuzhen's luck, and his body has not been found yet."

Chu Zhiyuan asked: "Avenge him?"

"Find him." Li Cunren said, "Find his body."

Chu Zhiyuan frowned: "Are you sure he is dead?"

"He has disappeared for ten years. If he is not dead, he should have returned long ago. The Heart-Connecting Bead has long been lost."

As he spoke, he took out a round bead from his bosom and handed it to Chu Zhiyuan: "This is his heart-piercing bead."

Chu Zhiyuan glanced at it.

It was actually a gray-brown bead that looked like a wooden bead.

He took it, and the tentacles felt heavy, as if they were cut from ironwood.

Li Cunren stared at Chu Zhiyuan eagerly: "With this pearl, can we find him?"

Chu Zhiyuan closed his eyes.

After a moment, he opened his eyes and asked in confusion: "This bead can only connect to and sense him? No one else?"

"Correct."

Chu Zhiyuan said: "There is still a trace of feeling left, the person opposite is not dead, right?"

Li Cunren's spirits suddenly lifted and his eyes lit up.

"At least he's not dead." Chu Zhiyuan said, "Although the induction is weak, it hasn't completely disappeared. There's still a trace of it left."

He handed the pearl back to Li Cunren.

Li Cunren took it, placed it between his eyebrows, closed his eyes and concentrated on sensing it.

After a moment he opened his eyes and shook his head in disappointment.

I sensed nothing.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "I'll give it a try, but I may not be able to save him."

"He is my servant. He has a very high talent, but he is too reckless. He acts based on his feelings without considering the consequences. I guess he took too many risks in the battlefield outside the domain and ended up like this."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

Li Cunren said solemnly: "If my brother-in-law can find him and save him, he will definitely reward me handsomely!"

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and nodded: "Whether there is a generous reward or not, I will do my best."

……

early morning
Chu Zhiyuan appeared on the top of a mountain outside the South City Gate.

Wearing a white robe, he stood on a huge rock with his hands behind his back, looking down at the vast mountains around him.

The mountains are layered and the green is like ink-black smoke.

Fu Zheng, dressed in a green shirt, frowned slightly and looked around.

"Is this guy plotting something?"

"He's cheating?" "This guy is full of tricks." Fu Zheng snorted, "We have to be on guard."

Chu Zhiyuan said: "Is it necessary to resort to trickery just to meet him?"

"Your Highness just wants to see him, but he may not think so." Fu Zheng said.

She felt that Zhou Yifan must be extremely wary and would not dare to take it lightly.

Not to mention his identity, just his achievements are amazing enough.

She really didn't know where Zhou Yifan got the courage to go against Chu Zhiyuan's dignity.

Is there some other backing behind this?

She thought about it and this was the only reason she could think of.

Chu Zhiyuan stood with his hands behind his back, thinking about Cheng Yunzheng.

Cheng Yunzheng, the fifth prince of Yuanzhen, actually also has a magical treasure that can compete with him.

I guess I can only figure out what kind of magical treasure it is by myself. I can't rely on the Phoenix Dynasty, Fengtian Palace, or the Supervisory Office, let alone the Thousand Machines Tower.

Then we can only use the Tianyin Pearl.

Unless it's a critical moment, I really don't want to use it. Every time I use it, there is a greater possibility of being exposed.

The Tianyin Pearl is most powerful when no one knows it exists.

He felt that the magic of the Tianyin Pearl was not to hide in the dark and launch a sneak attack, but to hide in the dark and monitor, see through the enemy's secrets, find its weaknesses, and then deliver a fatal blow.

Time passes slowly.

As the sun rose higher and higher, the surrounding mist gradually dissipated, revealing the true appearance of the peaks.

Chu Zhiyuan asked: "Which prince or prince is Qianji Tower close to?"

"From what I've observed, there isn't." Fu Zheng shook her head slightly: "But if there isn't, Zhou Yifan wouldn't be so brave."

Chu Zhiyuan said: "If I can think of taking over the Qianji Tower, others can think of it too."

"Your Highness, I was also on guard against this kind of situation, so I asked someone to keep an eye on it, but I really didn't find any traces of any dealings with officials or the royal family."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

Fu Zheng said bitterly: "It seems that this guy is cheating and dare not come over."

He hasn't come yet at this time, so it's obviously a feint and he won't come at all.

This is a deliberate joke on me and His Highness. This is simply courting death!
Chu Zhiyuan said: "Then go back... Can you mobilize the people in Qianji Tower now?"

"Only a small part." Fu Zheng said ashamedly.

Chu Zhiyuan nodded: "A small part will do, to find out the whereabouts and location of the Yuanzhen envoys."

"Yes." Fu Zheng said solemnly.

Chu Zhiyuan slowly rose higher, the Moon Silkworm Frost Clothes lifted him up and floated him up, then drifted away into the distance.

Fu Zheng followed closely behind, and while using Qinggong, she asked, "Your Highness, what about Zhou Yifan...?"

"You dare to play tricks on me, which is quite interesting. Don't rush into it, let's test the waters first." Chu Zhiyuan said.

If someone dares to play tricks on me, I cannot get furious and attack him directly.

There is a possibility of falling into a trap.

Especially at this time, the more we need to stay calm, not be in a hurry, and find out the details first.

Is Zhou Yifan bluffing this time, trying to provoke me without knowing the consequences, or is he doing it on purpose?
"Go to his house first, find him, and question him." Chu Zhiyuan said, "You can lose your temper, but don't use violence."

"...Yes." Fu Zheng nodded slowly.

The two parted at the city gate, one returned to the prince consort's residence, and the other went to find Zhou Yifan.

Chu Zhiyuan released his super sense and followed Fu Zheng, watching her walk straight to the outside of a house and knock on the door repeatedly.

As soon as the old man opened the door, she rushed in, headed straight for the front hall, and shouted in a tender voice: "Zhou Yifan!"

The white-haired old man shook his head helplessly, closed the door and slowly went back.

Fu Zheng shouted in the front hall: "Zhou Yifan, get out now!"

"Ha ha……"

Amidst the laughter, a handsome young man strode to the front hall and clasped his fists and said, "Miss Fu, what can I do for you?"

Fu Zheng stared at the handsome young man in gray robe and sneered, "Zhou Yifan, are you kidding me?!"

"What do you mean?" Zhou Yifan looked innocent.

"Then why didn't you show up?"

"What appeared?" Zhou Yifan looked puzzled.

"We agreed to meet at Jiming Mountain outside the South City this morning!"

"Ah——?" Zhou Yifan slapped his head and said hurriedly: "Blame me, blame me, I actually forgot about this!"
