Meet!

No matter what, I must figure this out clearly, and if there is indeed danger, after meeting, she can persuade Wang Junze to give up the risk.

And that scoundrel Lu Qing, what did he find out when I asked him to gather information?

Previously, he even swore to me that Wang Junze had already lost heart and was giving up, only wishing to stay in the Judgment Department and cultivate peacefully.

Now it seems, this dog is probably fooling me deliberately!

"Three days later, wait for my message!"

Sending Su Yuwei out of the residence, Eldest Princess Ningyu smiled promisingly.

...

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Initially, Wang Junze wanted to find that Divine Monk from Xuankong Temple himself, but midway he received a message from Eldest Princess Ningyu, inviting him to meet at Fan Building three days later, which stirred his heart.

Compared to Monk Benyin, his position and strength are ultimately too low; now, going there rashly, he might not even get to see him, let alone discuss any conditions. But Eldest Princess Ningyu is different, as it concerns Qu Lishang's safety, this princess will certainly show up, and the chances of negotiation will naturally be much greater.

At noon that day, Wang Junze routinely went out with Wang Xin and Peng Ru, and wandered to Fan Building.

Unlike usual, Wang Junze hardly sat down in a private room when a maid entered, recognized Wang Junze briefly, and then bowed slightly, saying, "Young Master Wang, I am the maid of the Eldest Princess, ordered to invite you to the mansion for a discussion."

"Didn't we say we'd meet at Fan Building?"

Wang Junze asked somewhat puzzled, "My identity is special, there might be people watching me; going to the Princess's Mansion rashly could cause trouble."

"You are overthinking, Young Master."

Clapping her hands, a waiter immediately came up, gently pushed the screen wall behind, heard the creak of a door opening, and soon revealed a hidden door.

"???"

"This hidden door leads straight to the rear courtyard of Fan Building; a carriage is ready, once you board, you'll soon be at the mansion."

The maid explained again, "But only you may go, Young Master. These two ladies must remain here."

"Wait a minute... what's the relationship between Fan Building and the Eldest Princess?"

"Fan Building is indeed owned by the Princess's estate!"

The maid replied matter-of-factly.

"..."

No, isn't Fan Building reputed to be a century-old establishment? Even the chefs hail from the Imperial Kitchen... Alright, I understand now!

With a bitter smile, Wang Junze suddenly understood; if there were no palace connections, where would the chefs from the Imperial Kitchen come from!

...

Following instructions, it took less than half an hour for Wang Junze to arrive smoothly at the Princess's Mansion.

Guided by the maid, Wang Junze soon entered the living room, but he hadn't expected that upon entering, the person he would meet was not Eldest Princess Ningyu, but Su Yuwei!

As their eyes met, Wang Junze's mind buzzed, and he stood there in shock.

"How is it, are you two satisfied with this meeting arranged by this Princess?"

With a light laugh, Eldest Princess Ningyu walked in from outside, waving to dismiss all the servants, leaving only the three of them in the room.

"What does the Princess mean by this?"

With a slight twitch of his eyelid, Wang Junze quickly reacted and asked in a serious tone.

There are many things Wang Junze never wanted Su Yuwei to know, but now, Eldest Princess Ningyu suddenly brought them together, obviously disrupting his plans, which made Wang Junze a bit annoyed.

"I never want to owe anyone, if you help me, I will give enough reward."

Eldest Princess Ningyu answered calmly, "Moreover, two heads are better than one. If all three of us plan together, the likelihood of rescuing him will naturally be greater."

The last meeting with Eldest Princess Ningyu left the impression of serenity and elegance, without losing intelligence, but Wang Junze didn't feel her strength, yet now, with just a few words in this meeting, Wang Junze sensed the hidden sharpness beneath her gentle appearance.

As expected, anyone with a reputation like this is never simple.

"Enough reward? Is the Princess suggesting that His Majesty might withdraw the betrothal?"

Looking at Eldest Princess Ningyu, Wang Junze couldn't help but retort.

"As long as you can safely rescue Qu Lishang... yes!"

Showing determination in her eyes, Eldest Princess Ningyu responded seriously.

"..."

Alright, this woman is crazy too! Let's talk business now.

At this point, Wang Junze naturally understood the situation couldn't be hidden anymore, and immediately stopped concealing anything, explaining the matter of the Nether Sea again, including even the details regarding Inverted Mountain this time which Wang Junze hadn't hidden before.

"Speaking of which, Your Highness the Princess, our meeting at Lingyin Temple last time has been exposed... The Director said, Monk Benyin from Xuankong Temple was right at Lingyin Temple, our conversation couldn't have been hidden from him!"

"Monk Benyin of Xuankong Temple?"

For a moment, Eldest Princess Ningyu's eyes flashed with a chill.

Be it the Four Great Celestial Sects or any Saint Realm Powerhouses, these might intimidate ordinary people but definitely won't frighten Eldest Princess Ningyu, much less when it concerns the life and death of Qu Lishang; she is willing to pay any price, if necessary, she could plan to kill Monk Benyin!

"I know about this, I will handle it."

"So, what's your plan, just obtain the Creation Golden Lotus, and then use the Divine-Inviting Incense to send it back to Inverted Mountain?"

Looking at Wang Junze, Su Yuwei spoke coldly: "Do you think the Demon Venerable in the Nether Sea is stupid?"

"You've already escaped from the Nether Sea once; countless people know you. If you didn't return, fine, but if you dare go back, believe it or not, the news will reach that Demon Venerable before you even approach the Nether Sea!"

"At that time, whether they capture you to question the whereabouts of Li Shang Sword Venerable or follow you secretly, can you escape?"

"So perhaps we need to delay a bit more, meanwhile spreading some false information to confuse the trail..." Wang Junze explained helplessly, "Of course, risk remains, but in order to save him, some risk must be taken."

Wang Junze naturally knew how dangerous returning to the Nether Sea would be, but even without Eldest Princess Ningyu's request, he had to go back to save him.

"I disagree!"

With a cold look in her eyes, Su Yuwei responded indifferently: "Creation Golden Lotus, Divine-Inviting Incense, you can hand them all over to the Princess! You've delivered the message, the remaining tasks can be done by someone else enlisted by Her Highness."

All that's needed is someone to return to the Nether Sea and deliver the Creation Golden Lotus to Qu Lishang; once Wang Junze explains clearly, another person can also go, why must Wang Junze go back and take the risk?
