Cultivation Simulator: Starting From The Empress' Palace Chapter 417 - 415 Unknown Blood

Su Mu’s current status at the Chen Mansion is quite awkward.

She used to be Chen Hong’s companion, with a higher status than a maid or a guard.

But ever since Chen Hong "died," she suddenly fell to the rank of a re maid.

After Chen Mo took control of the Chen Mansion, Su Mu’s presence beca rather peculiar.

Now Su Mu is just doing so odd jobs at the Chen Mansion.

Therefore, Chen Mo and the others didn’t say much to Su Mu; after exchanging a few casual words, they left.

According to Chen Mo’s plan, he didn’t intend to drive Su Mu away, he just wanted to see what she was up to.

However, so far, Chen Mo hasn’t caught any missteps from her yet.

...

On the other side, at the Qi Mansion.

Night had already fallen.

The window outside was pitch black, inside the room, there was a small flickering lamp.

Consort Yu sat by the window, gazing at the night scene outside, lost in thought about the events of the day.

She could already confirm that Chen Hong is indeed Chen Mo.

She never expected Chen Mo to be so bold.

Not only daring to burn down Jingru Palace, but also daring to take Consort Jing out of the palace, raising her in the mansion as a captive.

No matter where you stand, she was the Supre Emperor’s consort, if word of this got out, the face of the Imperial Family would be lost, and the entire realm would be in an uproar.

Yet she forgot that Chen Mo had always been bold.

Even when he didn’t have this status, he dared to sneak into the harem at night for a secret eting with Consort Jing, taking plenty advantage of her.

"Knock, knock..."

"Sister."

Just then, there was a knock on the door, and Quan Qiyang opened the door and walked in, seemingly having rushed over imdiately after returning to the mansion, appearing dusty and weary.

Quan Qiyang took off the helt on his head and put it aside, saying, "Sister, I heard you were looking for ?"

As he spoke, Quan Qiyang found a place to sit down, chattering nonstop: "I really can’t believe, Chen Mo, a non-clansman, was appointed as the Governor of Nanyang, he’s basically the local tyrant there."

In private, the siblings spoke without reservation.

Although Chen Mo’s title of State Governor wasn’t entirely genuine, overseeing only one county, it did show clearly the Imperial Court’s favor towards him.

You must know, previously appointed State Governors were all royal kin, bearing the surna Zhao.

"This ti at the front, he saved my life, if he is Chen Hong, then he has saved twice. The favor of saving my life must be repaid substantially. I’m planning to follow him, accompany him to Nanyang when he takes office. Sister, you can co with , this way, even if your identity gets exposed, it won’t matter." Quan Qiyang shared his plan.

The position of Director of the Imperial City Departnt seems imposing, but in reality, it involves doing dirty and exhausting work for the Imperial Court, offending people, particularly high officials.

If he continues in this role, he fears the entire realm will view him as an enemy, it’s too unsafe.

"Sister, what’s wrong? Why aren’t you saying anything?" Quan Qiyang poured himself tea while watching his silent sister, taking a sip of tea.

"Brother, today while I was strolling outside, I ran into Consort Jing." Consort Yu spoke.

Upon hearing this, Quan Qiyang directly spat out the tea: "Cough, cough... Sister, what are you saying?"

He was genuinely startled.

Wasn’t Consort Jing dead?

"I ran into Consort Jing today, she’s not dead, she’s with the female mbers of the Chen Mansion, she should be Chen Mo’s woman. I can now confirm, Chen Mo is Chen Hong, they are the sa person." Consort Yu said in a deep voice.

"Are you saying that the fire at Jingru Palace was not an accident, but intentionally set to take Consort Jing out during the chaos?"

Quan Qiyang was quick-witted, soon piecing together the thoughts, then inhaled sharply: "Has Chen Mo gone mad? Consort Jing is the Supre Emperor’s consort, how dare he... he..."

Quan Qiyang didn’t finish his sentence because he suddenly rembered, hadn’t he boldly brought his sister out of the palace too?

Consort Yu nodded: "Exactly."

"Then aren’t you exposed too, Sister." Quan Qiyang’s face grew serious, removing the Supre Emperor’s consort from the palace was not a trivial matter.

Moreover, he didn’t have connections as deep as Chen Mo; once exposed, while Chen Mo may sohow remain unscathed, he would face major trouble.

Consort Yu worried exactly about this, she feared bringing disaster upon her brother.

"How about this, tomorrow I’ll invite Chen Mo to the mansion as a guest, firstly to thank him for saving my life, secondly to properly discuss today’s situation and see how he plans to address it." Quan Qiyang pondered for a mont, then proposed.

"Do we really have to invite him here?" Consort Yu seed uneasy.

"This shows our sincerity, besides, outside there are many prying eyes, it’s not safe." Quan Qiyang explained.

"Alright..." Consort Yu thought to herself, she could just avoid him then.

...

On the other side.

Returning to his room, Chen Mo took out the stone given by Xiao Jiu, then started burning it with Taiyi Divine Fire.

Through burning, the stone gradually reddened, and leaf-like patterns began to appear on its surface.

Chen Mo imdiately activated the Ancient Heavy Pupils.

Under the Ancient Heavy Pupils, the blood inside the stone surprisingly began to gather.

This intrigued Chen Mo greatly. Under the fla’s burning, the blood didn’t vaporize, instead, it clustered together.

A mont later, the stone broke apart, and a rice-grain-sized coagulated blood particle fell into Chen Mo’s hand.

From this particle, Chen Mo sensed a familiar aura.

Suddenly, he rembered sothing, a Golden Core given to him by Xiao Yunxi before had a similar aura to the blood particle.

That Golden Core was refined by Lin Su Ya, and he had heard Zhao Fujin say the materials used to refine the Golden Core included a Flood Dragon slain from the East Sea.

"Could this blood be related to Flood Dragons? But while the aura seems similar, there are subtle differences..." Chen Mo murmured.

"Forget it, I’ll ask Xiao Jiu tomorrow."

Chen Mo stored the coagulated blood particle in a Jade Bottle, then followed the sa thod to refine another drop from the other two stones, storing them in the Jade Bottle too.

Later, he noticed that as the temperature decreased, the coagulated blood particles started lting gradually.

Observing this, Chen Mo placed the Jade Bottle next to the candle fla on the desk.

"Knock, knock..." At that mont, there was a knock on the door.

"Master, it’s... it’s ." Ye Wanqiu spoke.

Hearing Ye Wanqiu’s voice, Chen Mo subconsciously touched his waist, intending to say he was resting, when Ye Wanqiu added, "I... have sothing urgent to discuss with you."

Upon hearing this, Chen Mo said: "Co in, the door’s unlatched."

Ye Wanqiu pushed the door open and entered.

At that ti, Chen Mo noticed so anxiety in her expression, he couldn’t help but be surprised, stepping forward to gently embrace her: "Wanqiu, what’s wrong?"

"I... I ran into the Consort Yu on the street today." Ye Wanqiu spoke.
