Signing-In: The Lazy Moon Goddess-Chapter 414: Russell vi Grandrouge

The short conversation between Lin Chiyu and the third prince of the empire had a hidden meaning only they could understand. After the third prince had taken his leave, the smile on Lin Chiyu’s face faded, and with a wave of his hand, a sound isolation barrier covered the three of them. Only then could the three of them freely talk.

Gou Yuki said, "Are we being targeted? But why?"

Lin Chiyu looked at the insignia of the Starfield Sect and Xia Clan at their waists. His face turned grim, and he said, "They must have thought that we are diviners from the Starfield Sect. This sect has been exclusive ever since they were created. Most of their disciples rarely come out of the sect. However, there is indeed a time when they come out to experience the world. They might have mistaken us for them."

"Isn’t this bad, then? We don’t know how to do divination," said Gou Yura.

Gou Yuki asked, "But what does that have anything to do with the third prince?"

"He is using Gou Yura to buy some time for us. He might know someone from the Starfield Sect and is checking something about us with them," said Lin Chiyu. "I hope that Supreme Elder Xia has returned to the Starfield Sect ahead of time so he can announce that not all of you who have this insignia are diviners from the Starfield Sect."

"So, I still have to stay in this place and pretend with the third prince?" Gou Yura said with frustration imprinted on her face.

Her elder brother, Gou Yuki, and Lin Chiyu can only pat her shoulder and say, "Bear with it for a little while."

Meanwhile, at the throne hall of the Empire...

The third prince was escorted. The people who were with him brought over the gift pouch that Lin Chiyu had given to the third prince, and unexpectedly, what was inside were a few pills that are considered rare in this world.

The third prince said, "Fuhuang (Emperor Father), this is a small gift from one of the brothers of Miss Gou Yura. Please accept it."

The emperor nodded his head, and the man beside him approached to take the small pouch and open it beside the king. He was surprised to see a few jade bottles in it. He opened them one by one; the more he checked, the bigger the surprise was on his face.

"Medium-grade Qi Replenishing Pill, high-grade Qi Gathering Pill, medium-grade Healing Pill, and high-grade Detoxification Pill. Your Majesty, every single pill can be considered rare and expensive. This is such a great gift," said the appraiser beside the emperor of the empire.

The eyes of the emperor glowed as expected but only for a moment and finally looked at his third son. Russell vi Grandrouge. Emperor Grandrouge had already appointed the crown prince, and so he didn’t care much about the other prince. However, the third prince is his beloved concubine’s son; even though he couldn’t give him the throne, he had given him almost everything except for the throne.

That’s why when they found three unconscious individuals at the third prince’s garden bearing the insignia of the Starfield Sect, they didn’t dare to harm them but locked them in safety and luxury. All of this was because the third prince is said to have fallen in love with the only female among the three outsiders.

However, it seems that the third prince wasn’t in a hurry to marry and is still courting the young lady bearing the Starfield Sect’s Insignia. That’s why Russell vi Grandrouge will always come over to the detached mansion to visit his future princess consort.

The Emperor had spoken, "Son, though Zhen isn’t in a hurry for your marriage, we cannot keep them locked in the palace for too long. Either you let them join us, or we clean them up."

"Fuhuang, I do not think that killing them is a good idea. Their deaths, once calculated, can only bring chaos to the empire. Treat them kindly and friendly so when the time comes, they will not treat us as enemies," said the third prince.

Sigh~

"Alright. Zhen will leave the authority of those three to you," the emperor said.

The third prince said, "Thank you, Fuhuang."

On the other hand, in the Northern Region.

At the icy mountain ranges, at least three Nascent Soul cultivators of varying age ranges arrived at the location where the qi explosion spread from. Among these nascent soul cultivators is the current clan leader of the snow clan, the former first elder, now called ClanMaster Xue Yi. As they were flying on their way, they bumped into each other with varying expressions on their faces. The owner of the land felt dissatisfied by the arrival of the two seniors, who are both at the Yuanying (Nascent Soul) Realm like himself. The difference is their stages. Clan Master Xue Yi had just recently reached the Nascent Soul Realm, and he was only at an early stage. As for the other two old men, they are at least at the mid-stage Nascent Soul Realm.

That’s why even if they come over uninvited, Clan Master Xue Yi cannot ask them to leave, as he is weaker than they are. But he had led the path to the source of the surge of qi from before.

"It’s been a while since I saw the two seniors! What made the two seniors come to our Xue Clan’s territory?" Clan Master Xue Yi asked.

The two nascent soul cultivators looked at each other and didn’t expect to bump into the owner of the place. However, they didn’t care, as they are both stronger than the owner of the place.

"We are only passing by."

"Then that surge of qi was noticed by us."

"We only came over to check."

The thoughts of the owner of the place: ’Sneaky old bastards! ’

Clan Master Xue Yi’s smile twitched at the obvious excuse these two old men are saying. However, since there is nothing he can do about them. Leading the way, he noticed that the route to the area was something familiar to him. The closer he gets to the place in his mind, the more his face turns serious. The change in his expression didn’t escape the eyes of the two seniors.

"It seems that the Clan Master of the Xue Clan knows where this path leads."

"So the new Taoist that broke through is indeed from the Xue Clan?"

"Is that amazing then?"

"That is impossible. This is the route to the mansion of that ungrateful daughter of mine. She wanted to leave the clan, but I didn’t agree. She chose to live here instead of the main mansion," said Clan Master Xue Yi.

As soon as they got nearer, they saw a mansion not far away from them. But what caught their eyes were the ice walls surrounding the whole area, and at the entrance of the mansion was a young lady who was not even a hundred years old. Of course, the eyes of the three seniors immediately noticed what was so special about this young lady, and they were all shocked. After all, this is a special physique, one that he can only dream about. Though there are some physiques that can be gained through special means, those who were born with them were a class above their generation.

The three Nascent Soul Cultivators exclaimed, "Nine Yin Meridians Constitution!"

"I heard that the ancestors of the Xue Clan possessed the same physique!"

"It seems that Clan Master Xue had been hiding this child for a special reason. Is this your granddaughter?"

The face of the Clan Master Xue Yi was indescribable. After all, he doesn’t recognize this young lady, and there is no way he wouldn’t notice such a talented child within the clan. That can only mean that this young lady is from the outside and is most likely connected to his daughter, Xue Shuyi.

He shouted in anger, "Xue Shuyi, what is going on here?!"

This sudden shout not only startled everyone inside the mansion but also Tan Bingyu, who was meditating to stabilize her realm. When this old man called for her mother’s name in such a rude way, she knew that he was someone from the Xue Clan. In the end, his mother, grandmother, and even his father, who didn’t show his face right away, came out of the mansion.

Tan Yuyi, the grandmother of Tan Bingyu, shouted back, "Old Bastard Xue! Why are you shouting at my daughter-in-law? Who are you to shout at her!?"

"Lao Tang, you are already old, but your tongue is as poisonous as ever," Clan Master Xue Yi said as he wanted to approach the mansion, only to be attacked by an ice thorn that came from below.

The three old men at the Nascent Soul Realm can only dodge, as they can feel what stage this child is in and are shocked by this fact.

"Nascent Soul Realm, late stage!?"

They couldn’t believe that such a young lady could possess such a deep realm and power. Moreover, it seems that she is so protective of the people inside the mansion.

Tan Bingyu spoke, "Don’t enter the mansion. I will not allow you to pass through me."

"Bing’er, be careful!" Xue Shuyi was worried about her daughter.

Tang Yuyi said, "Bing’er, beat the old man for this old lady!"

"Okay, Grandma. I will be careful, Mom."

Tan Bingyu’s words stunned the Clan Master of the Xue Clan, and he instantly realized who this young lady was based on their conversation just now.

He asked, "Are you... Shuyi and Tan Shenyu’s daughter, my granddaughter, Tan Bingyu!"
