Once only the two of them were left in the hall, he slightly sobered up and whispered, "Brother Zhou, now that no one is here, speak freely if there is sothing you wish to discuss."
Zhou Qing did not speak directly but instead transmitted his voice, "Indeed, there is sothing I am unsure whether I should ntion."
Xuanyuan Yichen's hand holding the pot paused slightly.
If Zhou Qing acted with such caution, it must not be a trivial matter.
He nodded calmly, "Between you and , there's no need for formalities."
"If the Taiqing Sect had not precisely avoided the trap set by Princess Consort Ying and the Liu Family, the death of the fifth Brother would likely have been blad on , and I might still be under Father Emperor's scrutiny."
Zhou Qing pondered for a mont, then transmitted his voice again, "To be honest, I ca to the Imperial City this ti initially to seek our senior brother, but I heard of the Nangong Family's incident... Your Highness should know what I an."
The smile on Xuanyuan Yichen's face froze, and then he slowly said, "This matter has caused quite an uproar in the city; I am naturally aware. However, there are many with the sa na across the world, not necessarily..."
Zhou Qing's eyes were sharp, "Yet when he countered against Nangong Xiao, he carelessly allowed one of the followers to escape."
"This person not only heard their mutual addresses but also truthfully described their appearances to the Nangong Family."
"Because of this, they could swiftly locate Zhao Hanyue, Lan Caiwei, and others."
Zhou Qing suddenly leaned forward, "Now, the Nangong Family has portraits of our senior brother and others, and there's no way Your Highness isn't aware."
"If you disclose the location of the Taiqing Sect to the Nangong Family, surely it would earn so significant favor."
At this point, Xuanyuan Yichen gazed at Zhou Qing for a mont, then sighed, "Fine, I admit that upon hearing of the Ghost Mastiff's counterattack against Nangong Xiao, I imdiately thought of your senior brother."
"After seeing the portraits, I was even more convinced. I imdiately instructed those who had accompanied to the Taiqing Sect in the past, including Ninth Sister, to keep silent about the matter."
He paused, a hint of reminiscence in his eyes, "As I ntioned earlier, though my acquaintance with your senior brother wasn't deep, we did et under unusual circumstances back then."
Xuanyuan Yichen stood upright, his tone becoming more sincere, "Plus, with your assistance in restoring our Dynasty's border array and the fifth Brother's incident, I keep these favors in mind."
"Moreover, the Holy Martial Dynasty has vast territories, and your senior brother and others are cautious in their actions; everyone believes they are loose cultivators."
"Zhao Hanyue and others have sealed their mories, hiding their origins."
Zhou Qing heard this and felt a surge of gratitude.
At any rate, he did not add insult to injury, which was already the best outco.
Xuanyuan Yichen shifted the topic, asking with great interest, "Speaking of which, I am quite curious about the 'Mr. Ji' who assisted your senior brother."
"This person's combat strength is astonishing; not only did he completely overpower the six Divinity Transformation Realm Perfections of the Nangong Family, but it's also said he slew all nine elite Jieyun Thieves."
He paced to the window and continued, "Even more remarkable is that he is a third-level Array Master. It's heard that the Duobao Trading House has already released news, willing to pay a significant sum to recruit him."
Zhou Qing feigned a bitter smile and then shook his head, "I am more curious than Your Highness."
"These past two days upon arriving in the Imperial City, as you know, Lingyun Mansion is a long journey from here; I traveled day and night for two years."
"So..." Xuanyuan Yichen mused, "You co to bring news of your senior brother?"
Upon closer thought, that indeed seed to be the case.
Just arriving, Zhou Qing already heard of such developnts.
In this Imperial City, he had few connections; likely, the only person he could turn to for help was Yichen.
Zhou Qing nodded and said earnestly, "That is indeed why I have co; I wonder if Your Highness can offer assistance?"
