Chapter 2342: Mission 22
Within the protective confines of the pagoda, they felt secure no matter the circumstances. However, Xu Xunnan stood apart.
The palace teemed with countless individuals, leaving room for concerns about her wellbeing if the Emperor of Jinwei Land harbored any ill intentions. Their present lives were bestowed upon them by Lady Xu Xunnan, so they couldn’t abandon her.
“Lady Xu, we’d like to accompany you to the palace. This way, we can look out for you while you’re inside,” Miss Lin suggested, her eyes reflecting her anxiety.
Gu Chaoyan offered a reassuring smile.
Amidst the women within the pagoda, she couldn’t be certain if any had ulterior motives, but most seemed genuinely kind. They understood the importance of gratitude and demonstrated concern for her.
However…
They were overly concerned.
Jinwei Land’s palace?
No matter how many individuals resided there, they held no sway over her.
“Miss Lin, don’t fret. Focus on your cultivation with the others. You’re all within the pagoda, where no one can harm me. Besides…”
“Besides, Jinwei Palace holds no power over me.” Gu Chaoyan donned a self-assured smile.
And so…
Naturally, the individuals within the palace overheard her words.
Wang Yuankui, on the other hand, merely shrugged. They remained skeptical.
He couldn’t help but feel that this individual was merely boasting.
Within the palace, the sheer number of imperial guards was overwhelming, enough to halt any attempt to split away, even with cultivation skills.
Moreover, the presence of numerous formidable guards and the Imperial Master would effectively prevent her from escaping the palace.
However…
Wang Yuankui also acknowledged this.
Yet, he couldn’t voice his skepticism or display it openly.
At that juncture, refusing to comply could jeopardize his position and create complications for him.
The prince, king, and monarch, Yuan Kui, maintained polite smiles. “What are you implying? The palace isn’t irrational. Presently, the emperor simply wishes to engage in a discussion with Lady Xu.”
“At this moment, the palace and the pagoda are two distinct entities. This is hardly desirable. As the emperor, I am tasked with organizing Jinwei Land. Hence, I extended an invitation to Lady Xu for discussions.”
“At worst, if we fail to reach an agreement, we can continue the dialogue. There is no imminent danger. You’re worrying excessively,” asserted Wang Yuankui with an air of righteousness. Miss Lin regarded him disdainfully. “No danger?”
That was simply implausible!
She never imagined that these men would present themselves as so upright.
If they truly were that upright, why would Jinwei Land be so harsh on women, stifling their cultivation and denying them their rights?
It was precisely because of the despicable actions of these men that such injustices had persisted for thousands of years.
If she had placed trust in them, her family would have long arranged her marriage to them, and she wouldn’t enjoy her current life. Did they genuinely assume she was foolish?
“Miss Lin, take them back home. We’re only going for a discussion. The court won’t harm me,” assured Gu Chaoyan. “If it proves possible, why should I go?”
Wang Yuankui, to some extent, understood the rationale.
‘If she could.’
Why should she be so obliging?
What was the underlying motive?
“Let’s proceed,” Xu Xunnan initiated, marching ahead as though impatient.
Conversely, Wang Yuankui lagged behind.
She could have employed Sword Kinesis Flight, but she abstained.
Jinwei Land’s energy didn’t facilitate the cultivation of individuals capable of
Sword Kinesis Flight..
