The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 848 Everyone has their own agenda
Yan Ruyu was extremely surprised by Yue Guiyi's arrival. Logically speaking, shouldn't these "Dongxuan" masters hide in the dark and wait until they successfully enter the palace before competing for opportunities based on their own abilities?

Why does he come out in the open now? Isn't he worried that something unexpected might happen when he enters the palace?

You must know that Ming Hongyi is the "King of Liang State". If he knew that there was a real person who wanted to snatch the treasure from him, he would probably order the forces in the "Liang State Palace" to besiege him.

The military force within the palace is not weak. In addition to the enlightened beasts guarding the gates and the treasure keepers of each palace, there is also a magical army of three hundred people!
This legion is well-equipped and possesses a "Dongxuan" level formation diagram. If they form a formation, even a "Dongxuan" real person will have to retreat if he has not cultivated the "Dharma Domain".

The reason why Zhao Chen and Zhong Ying were not surrounded by this legion in the palace was because they were "people from the future" at the time and would not be discovered if they did not take the initiative to contact each other.

But if we go in at the current time, we need King Liang to lead the team - at least on the surface.

"Yue Guiyi greets His Royal Highness Prince Liang." The seemingly unruly elder of the Miefa Sect straightened his clothes upon meeting Prince Liang, and while performing the salute he revealed his family background.

The Miefa Sect is a major sect in Jiuzhou. It had previously conducted a "transaction" with King Liang through Cen Yunjie, the vice president of the Beijing Chamber of Commerce and one of the incarnations of "Yuchan Zhenren". How could Ming Hongyi not know the weight of the name Yue Guiyi?
He stood up and greeted him with a smile: "It turns out that Master Yue of the Destroying Dharma Sect has arrived. Please forgive me for not welcoming you from afar."

Yue Guiyi waved his hand and said directly: "No need to wait for others. Those Gangsha monks from the aristocratic families and the upper sects under your command were sent away by me before they even entered the secret realm. The aura of the 'Blood God Son' and the little ghost of the Xu family has disappeared. They either died in a treasure trove or left the secret realm."

He didn't wait for Prince Liang and the others to digest the news, and changed the subject, "I can help you, Your Highness, get the treasure you want, but the prerequisite is that Your Highness must allow me one."

"What does the Immortal want?" King Liang's face lit up with joy. This was the first Immortal, besides his master, to publicly express his support for him, so he asked hurriedly.

Yue Guiyi pointed his finger at Yan Ruyu standing beside him and said with a laugh: "I want her."

Upon hearing this, Yan Ruyu's face turned pale. She now understood what Yue Guiyi was going to do. He was going to force King Liang to make a choice and push her to the opposite side of King Liang.

Even if Prince Liang disagreed, it would actually destroy the trust between her and Prince Liang, and prevent Prince Liang from helping her deal with him in the palace.

What's more, this guy is obviously moved!

At this time, Yan Ruyu no longer cared about whether her identity was exposed or not. If she did not add more bargaining chips, once King Liang said something, the situation would be irreversible.

Therefore, Yan Ruyu immediately borrowed the status of the "Huiyue" wizard from her original body, and said faintly: "Master Yue, why do you have to embarrass me like this?"

King Liang had originally been leaning towards the former between being cuckolded and offending a "Dongxuan" helper, but he suddenly discovered that his concubine was actually a hidden real person. He was immediately shocked and angry, but also a little secretly happy. In short, his expression was extremely complicated.

He looked at Yue Guiyi, whose face was full of mockery, and then looked at his "pitiful" concubine. He didn't know what to say for a moment.

Giving Yan Ruyu to Yue Guiyi? That would undoubtedly offend a female cultivator with whom he had close contact. It was not worth it no matter how he thought about it, and he would lose face for nothing.

If he didn't agree to Yue Guiyi's request, not only would he lose the "Dongxuan" power he had obtained, but Yan Ruyu would not really be grateful to him... After all, if he really wanted to get close to him, he would not approach him as a down-and-out magical cultivator. She was just using him to achieve her goal.

Such people know that it is impossible for them to become his "cannon fodder" or "tools".

Zhao Chen looked at King Liang who was in a dilemma. Although he remained calm on the surface, he was very happy in his heart. After all, this guy had been hiring killers since he was before he came to Beijing, and later he had repeatedly plotted against him.

If it weren't for the special identity of Prince Liang, who was the focus of many schemes and the destined "scapegoat", Zhao Chen would have taken revenge long ago if he could just wait and enjoy his tragedy.

The frustration he feels now is just the appetizer for his retribution.

But... Zhao Chen glanced at Yue Guiyi and thought to himself: How could a master from the Mie Fa Sect sneak into the cave? Who could he be and what is his purpose?

The good news is that there may be another real person who can take on the responsibility of dealing with the thunder in "Purple Palace".

The bad news is that this Immortal does things in a rather ungraceful way, his principles are probably quite flexible, and he adheres to the philosophy of "great freedom", making him the most difficult to deal with among the "Dongxuan" Immortals.

While Zhao Chen was thinking secretly, King Liang, who had hesitated for a long time, finally made a decision. He looked at Yan Ruyu with pretended affection, and then said to Yue Gui in a tactful way: "Master Yue, although Yu'er is my concubine, she is free, and I cannot decide where she belongs."

He wanted to maintain his "relationship" with Yan Ruyu while trying not to offend Yue Guiyi.

However, this two-faced behavior made the two masters sneer at the same time, and then one threw himself into the arms of King Liang, sobbing: "Thank you for your love, Your Highness, but if I can win a Dongxuan helper for Your Highness, I am willing to serve this Master Yue."

The other one laughed heartily and said, "I was just joking. I just wanted to remind Your Highness that there is a 'Brilliant Moon' wizard by your side. I didn't expect that the couple was so deeply in love. I am the one who interfered."

After hearing what the two said, King Liang finally breathed a sigh of relief. In his heart, he really didn't want to give his woman to others, especially after what Yan Ruyu had just said, he unconsciously felt aversion to Yue Guiyi. Fortunately, the other party immediately clarified the misunderstanding.

Yan Ruyu was secretly resentful because her strategy of retreating to advance failed to successfully provoke King Liang's anger. It would probably not be easy for her to enter the palace and provoke King Liang to deal with Yue Guiyi.

"With this person watching me, I'm afraid it will be difficult to accomplish anything... Fortunately, there are Mo Ruidi and Yu Chao who can help me search for the remains of that person... Well, on the bright side, it's worth it for me to use a clone to watch over him."

Just as each party was harboring their own ulterior motives, Prince Liang, who had been waiting for Lingyun and Xu Qianlin for a long time, finally believed Yue Guiyi's words and began to head towards the main gate of the palace with his subordinates and servants.

On the way, the "Danqing Sword" played by Zhao Chen ignored the "puppet" that quietly climbed onto his bag, and a casual cultivator with middle-grade magical powers also wrapped a black snake around his wrist without anyone noticing.

Yue Guiyi, who was walking beside King Liang, curled the corners of his mouth, as if he thought of something interesting.
