He harbored a vague suspicion in his heart, and the likelihood was that it matched his guess.
"Great Yu... what a Great Yu indeed!"
...
The next day!
Liu Xinggong arrived at Prince Xuan’s Mansion. After revealing his identity, Shi Jian dared not neglect and imdiately went to report to Chen Xuan.
"Soone from the Southern King?"
Chen Xuan pretended to be puzzled.
"Yes, Lord Xuan King, so do you wish to see him... or not?"
If it were the Crane King, he wouldn’t need to ask at all.
After all, the Crane King was considered the Southern King’s underling.
But this one... he truly couldn’t fathom him.
"Take him to the main hall; I will be there shortly."
Of course, he had to see him.
Let’s see if he could inquire about the specific purpose of this Array.
As for wanting to set it up in the Prince’s Mansion... he must be dreaming!
"Yes, Lord Xuan King."
Shi Jian’s heart was relieved; the pressure from the Southern King’s people on him was too great. He truly feared that if Chen Xuan refused, he would be the one to suffer.
In the grand hall of Prince Xuan’s Mansion.
Liu Xinggong was seated there, a maid serving by his side.
But he had already waited for half an hour, and Prince Xuan had still not appeared.
His expression turned displeased.
For a re royal from a remote mansion, such minor roles, he wouldn’t even look properly at them after entering the Imperial City.
But... he suppressed his dissatisfaction.
For he had co to request a favor!
"Brother Liu, I’ve kept you waiting. I was delayed because I was cultivating."
Finally, Chen Xuan arrived belatedly.
He clasped his hands towards Liu Xinggong, smiling.
"No, it was Mr. Liu who ca so unexpectedly; I hope you won’t mind, Prince Xuan."
Liu Xinggong stood up, speaking very courteously.
"Brother Liu, please sit!"
He then seated himself above, continuing, "Brother Liu, is there a reason for your sudden visit?"
"Well..."
Liu Xinggong hesitated, looking towards the maid beside him.
"You may leave, everyone is forbidden from approaching the grand hall!"
Chen Xuan instructed.
"Yes, Lord Xuan King."
After the maid bowed, she imdiately left the hall.
Only then did Chen Xuan smile and say, "You can speak now. Rest assured, with the Array here, no one outside can hear."
"Thank you, Prince Xuan!"
Liu Xinggong slightly nodded.
"You may call Brother Xuan; I’m just a small royal of rMolan Mansion, nothing significant."
Chen Xuan laughed.
"You are truly modest, Brother Xuan."
Liu Xinggong’s words were polite, but he imdiately changed his form of address.
After all, Chen Xuan was in the Dao Realm, as was he.
Moreover, he grasped the Rules in the Dao realm, so he didn’t think it inappropriate.
Previously calling him Prince Xuan was purely out of courtesy.
"In that case, I won’t beat around the bush. My visit today is because I want to set up an array flag in the Prince’s Mansion. If Brother Xuan agrees, the Southern King will certainly be grateful to Brother Xuan afterward."
"Array flag?"
Chen Xuan’s eyebrows imdiately furrowed, his face feigning displeasure.
"What purpose does it serve?"
"This.....?"
Facing Chen Xuan’s inquiry, Liu Xinggong hesitated.
The purpose of this Array was known only to the three of them, and the Southern King had warned him against divulging it.
"If Brother Liu is unwilling to speak, then... I won’t keep you here."
Saying this, he directly stood up, preparing to leave the hall.
The sudden change caught Liu Xinggong completely off guard, and he quickly exclaid, "Wait, Brother Xuan, please wait!"
Chen Xuan stopped his steps and sat back down.
He said with great dissatisfaction, "This is my royal mansion; you want to set up an array flag, and yet I can’t know about it? That doesn’t seem right, does it?"
"After all, I am a prince of Great Yu!"
"Even if the Southern King ca personally, I would still hold this stance."
Chen Xuan’s attitude was resolute.
"Ha-ha!"
Liu Xinggong internally sneered; he had only just said he was insignificant as a prince, yet now stressed he was royalty of Great Yu.
Such hypocrisy!
