Capítulo 1866: Chapter 325: Concealnt
Feeling the heatwave, the cultivators inside the city were angry and shouted, “Close the gate quickly, do you want to roast us?”
Guard Liang dared not delay and called out, “Princess! Co in quickly!”
Princess Fire Lotus and her companions did not linger and imdiately walked in.
Within seconds, they were all inside the city.
Fortunately, the temperature of the heatwave wasn’t too high, and the city’s internal temperature could be adjusted, so it quickly returned to normal.
eting Princess Fire Lotus again, the guards naturally gathered around for a good chat.
In truth, they didn’t an to leave her, but the urgency of the situation and the Crown Prince’s urging left them with no choice.
Princess Fire Lotus understood the guards’ predicant and didn’t bla them; everything was orchestrated by the Crown Prince anyway.
As they ventured deeper into the Red Lotus Secret Realm, nearing its end, they were very curious about how Princess Fire Lotus navigated through all the dangers to reach this place.
After all, she seed understaffed.
Of course, Princess Fire Lotus wouldn’t reveal everything; even if she did, this group wouldn’t believe her. It was better to find a plausible excuse to brush them off.
Learning it was thanks to the Hengyue Sect disciples that they overca the challenges, the guards of the Heavenly Fire Kingdom were incredulous.
Despite having High Immortal Fifth Realm experts among them, there weren’t many, and they seed to lack a Secret Weapon. How could they handle the powerful Spirit Beasts in the Red Lotus Secret Realm?
The Hengyue Sect disciples felt awkward; Princess Fire Lotus chose to sacrifice them to protect Lin Yifan, which was quite contrary to the truth.
However, to avoid unnecessary explanations, it was indeed the best answer.
Lin Yifan was indifferent, letting Princess Fire Lotus say whatever she wished since he only wanted to rest now and avoid disturbances.
Though the Crown Prince of the Heavenly Fire Kingdom didn’t join the buzz, he was still secretly listening.
He was skeptical of what Princess Fire Lotus said. After observing, he realized the Hengyue Sect disciples lacked extraordinary strength to ensure her safety unless they hadn’t encountered any major storms along the way.
…
The long night passed like this.
In the morning, the guards of the Heavenly Fire Kingdom invited Princess Fire Lotus to set off with them.
Princess Fire Lotus declined.
She felt fine now and saw no need to change plans.
The guards had their reasons for inviting her, so they leaned closer to her ear and whispered, “Princess, we’re going to hunt a Constellation Beast today; co pick up so loot.”
Hearing the words “Constellation Beast,” Princess Fire Lotus could no longer remain calm.
However, she had never heard that the Red Lotus Secret Realm housed a Constellation Beast; what was going on?
She then questioned Guard Liang, who had tipped her off.
It was Guard Liang’s second visit to the Red Lotus Secret Realm; last ti, he and the Crown Prince encountered a Constellation Beast, but unfortunately, they were unprepared and couldn’t kill it; this ti, they were fully prepared to capture it.
Only a few old acquaintances and the Crown Prince knew about this, while other guards were unaware. The Crown Prince ordered them to keep it secret, so Princess Fire Lotus naturally was in the dark.
Considering Princess Fire Lotus as one of their own, he secretly inford her.

Since Princess Fire Lotus was unaware of the matter’s origins, he briefly explained it to her.
Upon learning the Crown Prince ordered the guards to keep their mouths shut, Princess Fire Lotus was infuriated; this clearly indicated distrust or an intention to keep her from obtaining the Constellation Beads.
However, to be fair, she might have done the sa.
With national interests at stake, she was unsure whether to tell Lin Yifan.
If Lin Yifan found out, he’d definitely go after it. Being the “son of the Constellation Beads,” there was a good chance the beads would end up in his pocket.
Not informing him seed selfish and inconsiderate. She was unsure whether to protect the information or not.
After much thought, she finally decided not to tell Lin Yifan.
As the princess of the Heavenly Fire Kingdom, she had to consider the kingdom’s imdiate interests, and Lin Yifan already had many Constellation Beads, making this one unnecessary for him.
Still, she wouldn’t join to avoid raising suspicions.
Seeing Guard Liang whispering with his sister, the Crown Prince of the Heavenly Fire Kingdom thought that damned guard was informing the brat of his plans. He angrily shouted, “What’s the chatter? Do you want to die?”
Everyone was startled by his words and looked at the commotion.
Lin Yifan and his companions were no exception, interested in seeing what had happened.
Guard Liang was trembling with fear.
The Crown Prince was furious, and punishnt was looming; clearly, he couldn’t withstand much suffering; with the Princess refusing, he should leave quickly.
Seeing Guard Liang’s pitiful appearance, Princess Fire Lotus stood up for him: “What’s the shouting about? Can’t the guards of the Heavenly Fire Kingdom chat with the princess of the sa kingdom?”
“Didn’t you have enough chat last night? What secrets are between you two?” the Crown Prince asked.
“None of your business. I won’t interrupt your departure,” Princess Fire Lotus replied.
Was his sister’s statent indicating she wouldn’t co along? Foregoing the Constellation Beads to be with that kid?
The Crown Prince believed his sister was too deeply involved.
Well, it’s one less thing to worry about.
Princess Fire Lotus returned to her group, and Lei Ming curiously asked about her conversation with Guard Liang, gossiping.
Princess Fire Lotus certainly wouldn’t reveal the truth, casually concocting a reason to brush him off.
Lin Yifan felt Princess Fire Lotus was hiding sothing from them.
However, since she didn’t want to talk, he couldn’t force her, so he stopped prying.
The Crown Prince’s group was the first to leave the city, while Lin Yifan and others left after a brief rest.
Both headed toward the depths of the Red Lotus Secret Realm, but their paths differed, with the Crown Prince taking the left while Lin Yifan’s group headed right.
Half a day later, Lin Yifan’s group noticed many people flying to the left instead of straight ahead, perplexing them.
Recalling the morning’s tension between Princess Fire Lotus and her brother, her guilty deanor, and the Crown Prince’s route, Lin Yifan suspected the Crown Prince was up to sothing big.
Princess Fire Lotus withheld information for their kingdom’s interest, quite ruthless indeed.
Everything was speculation; to uncover the truth, he secretly followed those heading over.
Princess Fire Lotus noticed Lin Yifan’s alertness and tried to stop him: “Blockhead, where are you going? The depths of the Red Lotus Secret Realm are ahead, not to the left.”
