Chapter 433 Requesting an Audience with Prime Minister Gui

"Father...how can you be so partial!"

Ao Chun muttered to himself, his gem-like eyes were bloodshot and tears seemed to be falling.

Chen Mu raised one eyebrow and looked over.

"I really cried..."

He was quite surprised. He didn't expect that Ao Chun, who was so lively and lively, would cry like a little girl because of his father's injustice.

"Chun'er..." Jin Yuantong had been secretly watching his fellow Taoist. Seeing this, he quickly stood up and expressed his opinion, wanting to comfort her.

Ao Chun wiped away his tears upon hearing this and didn't give him a chance to show off: "Get lost!"

They are both Jin Yuantong and incompetent, that's why my father treats them differently...

Jin Yuantong's expression froze, and he sat down again in embarrassment, feeling even more resentful towards Chen Mu.

If he had known this, he shouldn't have brought Chen Mu here at all!
Ever since he brought him here, Ao Chun has lost his good face...

"Princess Yi's husband has been chosen. This is a happy event for the Dragon Palace. Everyone, please don't rush to leave. Stay here and enjoy a few drinks!"

Prime Minister Gui laughed loudly, and after persuading the group of monsters to stay according to etiquette, he nodded to Ao Yi and left.

"Well, the princess is so happy, so naturally we have to join in the fun!"

"Princess, is there any fine wine on Langya Island? I've been craving it for decades. But with that old fool watching over me at home, I'm really frustrated..."

……

Some monsters left and some stayed. Most of those who left were monsters that were happy with Ao Yi, while those who stayed were mostly the second generation of dandies who came to the banquet in obedience to the orders of their clan. Since they had no hope in the first place, they naturally would not be disappointed with the result.

At this time, Prime Minister Gui left his seat, and they became even more relaxed. They gathered in groups of three or five and kept shouting. Even Chen Mu was invited by them to have a few drinks. It was extremely lively.

Chen Mu waved his hand to decline, secretly calculating the opportunity to escape.

He hadn't forgotten Ao Chun, who was always by his side. If he wanted to leave safely, he had to get rid of this woman...

After feeling uncomfortable and aggrieved for a moment, Ao Chun returned to normal.

Seeing that Ao Yi had found a good husband, he naturally didn't want to stay any longer, so he immediately stood up and said, "Let's go!"

Jin Yuantong agreed and hurriedly followed, but before he took a few steps, he saw Ao Chun in front of him suddenly stop and look back at Chen Mu who was sitting still.

"Friend Chen, won't you leave with me?"

Chen Mu smiled slightly and nodded, "I still have a few things I want to ask the Princess. Princess Chun, please don't worry about me. Just do as you please."

Hearing this, Jin Yuantong felt relieved and thought to himself, "At least you know when to advance and retreat."

"Since Fellow Daoist Chen has other important matters, my wife and I would not disturb him... Chun'er, let's go first."

He nodded and smiled, then urged Ao Chun in a gentle voice.

Ao Chun said nothing, looked at Chen Mu deeply, then suddenly turned around and walked back.

"Don't even think about escaping from my grasp. From childhood to adulthood, I, Ao Chun, have never failed to obtain anything I set my sights on..."

She spoke coldly, as if Jin Yuantong didn't exist at all.

Chen Mu's lips curled up slightly. Coincidentally, he was also someone who couldn't stand hearing threatening words.

Seeing his sneer, Ao Chun's heart trembled. He wondered how a human cultivator could be so good-looking. His tone softened: "The more you try to escape and struggle, the more interested I become. I advise you to obey me and be my wife for that night..."

Chen Mu stopped responding and looked up at the bustling scene, but he gradually became worried.

If Ao Chunzhen continued to follow him regardless of anything, then he really had no good solution.

"Maybe with the help of Jin Yuantong?" He turned around with an idea in his mind, but saw Jin Yuantong staring at him with resentment, and it was obvious that he couldn't say anything. Even if he persuaded him to help him escape, he would definitely make trouble afterwards.

"It's not me who wants to..." Chen Mu complained in his heart, shook his head to suppress the mixed thoughts in his heart, frowned and looked at the princess above him.

"She and I have no kinship, and relying solely on my cultivation status alone wouldn't work. Besides, Ao Chun certainly wouldn't listen to her, and it would only backfire..."

After thinking about it, his eyes suddenly flashed, and he thought of Prime Minister Gui who was here.

With his status and cultivation level, if he could speak a few words for himself, at least on the surface, Ao Chun would no longer follow him.

"How can I get him to speak for me?" Chen Mu picked up the wine glass and took a sip, seemingly enjoying the lively scene, but actually he was secretly calculating in his heart.

……

As the night progressed, the lively atmosphere cooled down a bit, but the banquet was still going on, with singing and dancing continuing, and music and rituals playing.

Chen Mu quietly stood up and walked out.

Ao Chun immediately followed, looking quite excited, thinking that he had come to his senses and found this move very exciting.

"Wait a minute, fellow Daoist! That's where Prime Minister Gui is staying temporarily. Let's go this way. There are few cultivators coming and going here, so no one will be able to spot us..."

Chen Mu's eyes twitched, and he turned around and said, "What is Princess Chun talking about? Prime Minister Gui has ordered me to come over and see him."

"How is that possible?" Ao Chun naturally didn't believe it: "Why did they call you over?"

"I don't know either." Chen Mu shook his head.

Ao Chun looked doubtful and remained silent for a long time. After a moment, he said softly, "Then I'll wait for you here."

Chen Mu's eyes flashed, and he didn't respond and walked straight out.

The order from Prime Minister Gui was naturally false, just an excuse.

"Judging from the way Prime Minister Gui treats others, he shouldn't be that rude demon cultivator..."

He thought as he walked, relying on the fact that he accidentally noticed the eye contact between the princess and Jiang Zhengchu, and Prime Minister Gui only reminded them through voice transmission and did not make any other moves.

"Let's give it a try."

Chen Mu made up his mind and followed the guidance of the maid fish monster, striding into the cave where Prime Minister Gui was temporarily staying.

"Beiyuan Chen Mu, requesting an audience with Prime Minister Gui."

He bowed and spoke clearly. Judging from his posture alone, no one could find any fault with him.

"Boom..."

The heavy stone door slowly opened, revealing a dim corridor with only a few luminous beads scattered around it.

Chen Mu took a deep breath, moved his feet lightly, and stepped into the corridor in the blink of an eye.

Ao Chun, who was sitting next to the banquet, saw this scene from afar and for a moment he even lost interest in drinking. He tried his best to extend his demonic sense to find out what was going on inside, but unfortunately he could not see anything.

"Tap..."

The sound of footsteps echoed in the empty corridor, giving rise to an inexplicable feeling of oppression.

Fortunately, after turning the corner, the scene in front of him suddenly became clear. The huge cave was exquisitely decorated. Prime Minister Gui was sitting cross-legged on a cold jade stone that was several feet wide, looking at Chen Mu with a smile.

Chen Mu's heart was shaken, and he immediately bowed his head and said, "Junior Chen Mu greets Prime Minister Gui."

After waiting for a while without hearing any response from Prime Minister Gui, he raised his eyes slightly and found that Prime Minister Gui was staring at a certain part of his waist with curiosity.

He frowned slightly, and without delay, directly stated the purpose of his visit.

"I'm seeking an audience with the Prime Minister because of Princess Chun..."

As soon as he opened his mouth to speak, he was interrupted by Prime Minister Gui with a wave of his hand.

"I didn't call you, but you came here on your own..."

Prime Minister Gui shook his head and smiled, then flicked his fingers and a ray of light flew towards Chen Mu.

Chen Mu subconsciously wanted to move his body to dodge, but found that his body was motionless and was firmly locked by the light from the fingertips.

"Prime Minister?"

The spiritual light was extremely fast. It approached him in the blink of an eye, and then flew towards his waist in a flash.

"Is this... a spirit beast bag?"

Chen Mu's eyes flashed, and with a "plop" sound, the dazed Gui San was thrown out...
