Chapter 52: The Bird in the Cage(1/2)

p"Seventh Prince"/p
pLong Chen really didn’t expect that the person who came to see him turned out to be the Seventh Prince. Ever since the unpleasant incident at the Taixue Palace last time, he had never had any interaction with him./p
pBut the seventh prince is Chu Yao’s biological brother. Long Chen is also a little apologetic about what happened last time. After all, this is his future brother-in-law./p
p "Brother Long, you should call me Chu Feng." The seventh prince quickly stood up and said, his attitude was very respectful. He looked like a different person from the previous domineering look./p
pLong Chen learned from Chu Yao that Chu Feng was actually not a bad character, but he was just trying to act like a fool to protect himself, so that he could be safer./p
p "I'm sorry about what happened last time." Long Chen nodded, patted Chu Feng on the shoulder and said./p
p "Brother Long is serious," Chu Feng hurriedly said humbly./p
pLong Chen picked up the teapot on the table, poured two cups of tea, handed one cup to Chu Feng and said: "What do you want to do here this time?"/p
pThis time when Chu Feng came, he did not wear the clothes of a prince, but wore a brocade robe, which looked more like the attire of an ordinary prince./p
p "Brother Long...this..." Chu Feng wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth several times and did not say anything./p
p "If you have anything to say, just say it." Long Chen looked at Chu Feng and said./p
pChu Feng hesitated for a moment, took a deep breath and said: "Today the Queen Mother announced that my sister will be married to Xia Changfeng, and the date will be set on the first day of October."/p
p"pop"/p
pAlthough he was prepared in his heart, Long Chen's blood still surged when he heard the news. The cup in his hand was crushed to pieces, and the hot tea splashed all over him./p
p There was murderous intent in his eyes, and the whole room immediately felt as if it had descended into an ice cellar. Chu Yang couldn't help but feel chilled./p
pAt this time, Long Chen was like an enraged ferocious beast. He could kill people at any time. His murderous intention was a hundred times stronger than that day in Taixue Palace./p
p "Is this serious?" Long Chen gritted his teeth and asked./p
pChu Feng nodded. Under Long Chen’s pressure, he found it difficult to pronounce words./p
p "Looking for death"/p
pLong Chen was extremely angry. That day he responded to Chu Yao in front of everyone in the imperial capital, which was equivalent to telling everyone that Chu Yao was his woman./p
pHe did not rely on Master Yunqi's relationship to propose to Chu Yao. It was to give the Queen Mother enough face and give her a step down, and he did not want to embarrass her too much./p
pBut I didn’t expect that she would completely ignore Long Chen’s feelings and ignore Master Yunqi’s face, and resolutely marry Chu Yao to Xia Changfeng. This is simply too deceiving./p
p "Brother Long, my sister has been lonely all her life, always wearing a mask, but I know her, and if she is allowed to marry Xia Changfeng, it will cost her life./p
pBrother Long, I beg you, please save my sister." After speaking, Chu Feng's eyes filled with tears, and he slowly knelt down to Long Chen./p
p "What are you doing? Get up quickly"/p
pLong Chen pulled Chu Feng up and said: "Since I promised, even if I die, I will protect my promise, don't worry"/p
pHearing what Long Chen said, Chu Feng couldn't help but feel moved. Living in the inner courtyard of the palace, he had everything except the word trust./p
p "Your sister has not been out during this period. Is she under house arrest?" Long Chen asked./p
pChu Feng nodded and said: "Yes, since I went back last time, my sister has been under house arrest in the palace, and the Queen Mother has not allowed her to leave the door."/p
pLong Chen’s face was ashen. It seems that the Queen Mother didn’t take Master Yunqi seriously at all. You old witch, just wait for me./p
p "Can you see your sister?" Long Chen said./p
p "Yes, the Queen Mother just doesn't allow her to go out. She doesn't allow others to visit. As a younger brother, they don't dare to stop me," Chu Feng replied./p
p "That's good. Count the days. It's the first day of October. There's still more than a month left. We still have enough time./p
pThree days later, at Huayun Pavilion’s annual auction, I will try my best to get the Molten Star Grass to solve your sister’s physical troubles. You ask her to wait for me and not do stupid things,” Long Chen said seriously.
/p
pChu Feng was overjoyed and thanked Long Chen profusely, which made Long Chen very uncomfortable./p
p "Chu Feng, let me see your Dantian"/p
pLong Chen had some doubts in his heart and put his hand on Chu Feng's shoulder. Spiritual energy poured in and slowly poured into his Dantian./p
pThere is indeed a ghost!/p
pLong Chen discovered that Chu Feng’s Dantian did not have shackles like Chu Yao’s, but there was a foreign object on the spiritual root above the Dantian./p
pIt is something that is almost too small to be seen with the naked eye. If Long Chen had preconceived it, it would probably be difficult to find it./p
p"Please bear with it"/p
p"pop"/p
p Long Chen’s spiritual energy was stimulated, but Chu Feng felt a pain in his lower abdomen. A small pillar of blood spurted out, and Long Chen had a fine hair needle in his hand./p
p "It's actually the Mingyu Needle, it's really vicious enough"/p
pA sneer appeared on Long Chen's face. This Mingyu Needle was originally a needle used to treat Yang poison. It contains Yin poison, which can relieve Yang poison, neutralize toxicity, and facilitate detoxification./p
pBut if such a Dark Feather Needle is put into a normal person's Dantian, the spiritual roots of the Dantian will be corroded by insidious poison for a long time, making it impossible to practice./p
p Checked Chu Feng's Dantian again, and Long Chen couldn't help but sigh. Due to the long-term erosion of sinister poison, his spiritual roots have dropped in grade, otherwise his talent would never be much worse than Chu Yao./p
p "Chu Feng, I will help you get rid of this poisonous needle. You can practice practice after you go back, but you must pay attention to hiding it. I will give you a few Hidden Breath Pills. Take one every seven days. No one will find out.
"Long Chen handed Chu Feng a jade bottle./p
pLong Chen usually refines some other elixirs in his spare time, which are of great assistance to him now./p
pHowever, Long Chen did not tell Chu Feng that his spiritual roots were severely eroded, and he was afraid that the blood coagulation realm would be his end. Long Chen really could not tell this cruel fact./p
p While feeling sorry, I also feel even more disgusted with a group of tigers and wolves in human skins like the royal family./p
p "Can I practice cultivation?" Chu Feng couldn't believe it. He always thought that he was a born waste and couldn't help but be ecstatic./p
pLong Chen can understand Chu Feng's mood. He, who is also known as a waste, has a deep understanding of it./p
p "Yes, but you have to be careful to cover your eyes and ears." Long Chen reminded, although he knew that the two siblings were definitely careful enough, but still, there is nothing wrong with being careful./p
pSent away the excited Chu Feng, Long Chen fell into deep thought. The encounter between Chu Yao and Chu Feng reminded him of his own situation./p
pBut I am even worse. My spiritual roots, spiritual bones, and spiritual blood were all taken away. Although the methods are different, is the purpose the same?/p
pMy own father was a top expert in the Fengming Empire. Because of his father, I was crippled to avoid worries?/p
pWhen chatting with Chu Yao last time, she mentioned a name to Long Chen - Yinghou./p
pThe three great masters of the Fengming Empire are Yinghou, Wuhou and Long Chen’s father Zhenyuanhou. They are also known as the three pillars of Fengming./p
p Zhenyuanhou guards the barbarian frontier, Wuhou guards the southern border, and only Yinghou remains in the imperial capital./p
pAccording to Chu Yao, the cultivation of all princes and princesses was taught by Wuhou. At that time, Long Chen felt that there might be a big problem with this Yinghou./p
pBecause of Chu Yao's situation, even a layman like himself realized that there was a huge problem with her during their first fight. How could Yinghou, who was Fengming's top expert, not see it?/p
pSince he knew it but said nothing, was he also involved in this matter, or was he even the one who did it?/p
pIf he did it, were the hands and feet on his body also done by him? What was his purpose in doing this? Did he really just cripple them? Or did they have a bigger purpose?/p
pSo many question marks were swirling in Long Chen's mind. Thinking about it gave Long Chen a splitting headache. These things were like a mess, overlapping and impossible to sort out./p
p "Forget it, no matter how cunning the fox is, the fox's tail will eventually show. What I need to do is to become a qualified hunter when the fox shows its tail and fangs, otherwise the end will still be bleak."/p
pAfter figuring this out, Long Chen no longer struggled with these issues and returned directly to his room. He didn't even dare to go to his mother's side and went into seclusion again./p
pBut just after turning on the cyclone, Long Chen jumped up from the ground and almost hit the roof./p
p"This is too exaggerated"/p
pLong Chen looked inside his dantian. The ten neat cyclones had stopped growing, but each cyclone reached a terrifying three-foot diameter, which really shocked Long Chen./p
pCompared with the original cyclone, the current cyclone is simply too scary. The slowly rotating cyclone, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, pours into Fengfu Star like a tide, and the speed is hundreds of times faster than before./p
pLong Chen was really surprised and happy, but just after practicing for a few breaths, Long Chen realized something was wrong./p
pThe ten cyclones are like ten huge water pipes, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. However, the nearby spiritual energy of heaven and earth cannot satisfy the absorption of the ten cyclones and begins to become thinner./p
p Later, when ten cyclones were opened at the same time, the amount of heaven and earth spiritual energy absorbed by one cyclone was the same, because there was only so much heaven and earth spiritual energy nearby./p
p "No, we have to change places"/p
pThat night, Long Chen covered up his breath, quietly crossed the city wall, and silently left the city. He started chasing the wind, like a wisp of blue smoke, heading straight towards Luoxia Mountain./p
p Luoxia Mountain was peaceful at night, and the scenery remains the same. Although it cannot be said that things have changed and people have changed, it still made Long Chen feel a little emotional./p
pWhen I came here for the first time, I came with Meng Qi. Thinking of Meng Qi’s peerless appearance and her gentle, watery eyes, my heart was shocked./p
To be continued...
