I See the Aura of the Great Emperor in All My Disciples

Chapter 1328: Chapter 1328 Jiu Bailu Appears (1/3) Chapter 1328: Chapter 1328 Jiu Bailu Appears (1/3) In Jiulong City, the Crown Princes as well as the forces of the six departments are a mixed bag.

Every place has the eyes of the opposing sides.

Perhaps from the moment they arrived in Jiulong City, countless powers were already aware of their whereabouts.

For instance, when Mu Fusheng stepped out of the small courtyard arranged for him by the Crown Prince, there were numerous hidden presences around the courtyard.

Each of these presences was not below the Divine Emperor Realm.

At the same time, there were also some extremely secretive and ephemeral presences, probably those from the Ancestral Realm.

Fortunately, they had prepared a bunch of items to hide their presence, otherwise, they would have been immediately detected and tracked once they stepped out…

Finding an opening, Mu Fusheng managed to leave the small courtyard and began to gather information about Jiulong City in various complex areas.

For example, the present Crown Prince, the Third Crown Prince, and the Fifth Crown Prince were closely collaborating and had openly declared war on the Crown Prince!

Similarly, within the six departments, the Ministry of Military and the Ministry of Civil Affairs had openly joined sides.

However, the most discussed topic outside was the matter of military preparation exercises.

In the military preparation exercises, since the Ministry of Military had sided with the Crown Prince, the calls for his success were extremely high.

The Third Crown Prince and the Fifth Crown Prince also had their own armies participating.

Although the Ninth Crown Prince had already become the Crown Prince, his foundation in the military was rather weak. This time, he had no hope in the military exercises.

“If, in this military preparation exercise, the Crown Prince performs disastrously, it could affect his subsequent recruitment and purchasing of horses,”

“That is natural, the Crown Prince’s foundation is weak to begin with. If he fails in the military exercise, some of the powers that are currently observing may choose to support other Crown Princes.”

“Moreover, with the Crown Prince, Third Crown Prince, and Fifth Crown Prince all openly targeting him, this isn’t the best time for the Crown Prince to participate in the military exercises…”

Mu Fusheng was drinking alone on the side, and he was also puzzled upon hearing this news.

Generally speaking, the royal family is most wary of their Crown Princes meddling in military power.

Yet, from what he heard, the Nine Dragon Divine Dynasty, whether in terms of economy or military power, was directly decentralized, even if the six departments openly took sides, nothing happened.

Nevertheless, wandering among the taverns and powers of Jiulong City, Mu Fusheng also learned why the emperor of the Nine Dragon Divine Dynasty did this.

The emperor had an imperial guard, rumored to be able to sweep across the entire army!

Other powers were directly decentralized, allowing the Crown Princes to fight among themselves in this bloody storm, the weak being wiped out.

He also got a general understanding of other Crown Princes.

All to say, in this military preparation exercise, according to the information, the Crown Prince’s odds of winning were extremely low.

However… what really concerned Mu Fusheng was one person.

That was the second-ranked among the Crown Princes, Bailu.

No information could be heard about him, nor did anyone speak of him.

Well… parallel to his own thoughts and then combining his master’s logic,

This kind of unremarkable and information-scarce character is always defined as a hidden master.

And furthermore, he is a person with great karma, one must find every means to avoid him.

But… where can karma be avoided just by wishing to avoid it?

When Mu Fusheng was preparing to return to the small courtyard arranged by the Crown Prince.

Halfway there, there was a peach blossom forest.

Mu Fusheng continued to investigate the surroundings and realized that the opposition’s people were still hidden in the same place, then he turned back the same way.

However, as he walked, Mu Fusheng stopped in his tracks.

In front of him, there was a woman dressed in a plain white gown, without any adornments, her long hair trailing among the fallen leaves of the peach blossoms, sitting quietly on a branch looking at him.

Her face, untouched by worldly concerns, was exquisitely striking.

She seemed almost not of this world.

Even Mu Fusheng couldn’t help but inwardly praise.

What a femme fatale!

Suddenly, he did not nod, simply lowered his head, turned his body, and walked in the opposite direction.

This level of beauty, one must absolutely not get involved with, and not even spare more than a glance!

Once entangled, subsequent troubles would only multiply.

“Are you Mu Fusheng?”

As expected, the items concealing his aura that he wore were discovered.

The black robe he was wearing was specially made by his master to conceal his aura.

Seeing through Mu Fusheng’s thoughts, the woman said calmly, “Your technique for concealing your aura is very high, undetectable even by those in the Ancestral Realm.”

“Is the lady surpassing the Ancestral Realm?” Mu Fusheng stopped, turned, and asked the woman with a smile.

The woman shook her head, “I didn’t notice, but hearing that you are very cautious, I guessed you would find this only gap to return here, so it was good enough to just sit here.”

She had come specifically for him.

Mu Fusheng’s heart tightened slightly, and his fingers began rubbing the interspatial ring, ready to pull out talismans at any moment.

“Who are you? What do you want with me?”

The woman’s lips curved up slightly, and with just that faint smile, the surrounding peach blossoms swayed as though bowing under her pomegranate-colored skirt.

“I am Jiu Bailu. You couldn’t find out about me in the city, so you should be curious about me too.”

“As for why I am looking for you…” Jiu Bailu put her finger on her chin, tilted her head upward slightly in thought, and then said, “Nothing much, just wanted to see you and find what makes you different from others.”

Jiu Bailu.

Mu Fusheng frowned slightly.

He had thought this woman was no ordinary person but had not expected her to directly calculate his route and intercept him here in advance.

It could be said that Jiu Bailu’s level of danger was now defined as the highest level in Mu Fusheng’s mind.

At that moment, Mu Fusheng smiled and said, “Since Your Highness has no particular business with Mu, I will take my leave first.”

Having said that, Mu Fusheng didn’t look back as he walked toward the courtyard.

Jiu Bailu did not stop him.

She just watched Mu Fusheng’s retreating figure, her eyes pensive, with a hint of golden light in the depths that seemed to see through everything.

“Such deep concealment… quite interesting.”

Having said that, she also left the place, transforming into a scatter of petals.

And Mu Fusheng was operating under the principle of not wanting to get entangled with her; the faster he could leave, the better!

At the same time, he kept going over their conversation in his mind.

What exactly did she come here for?

Was she sent by the Crown Prince?

Or was it simply to test him?

These he could not be sure of.

But one thing was absolutely certain.

That was to complete his mission as quickly as possible and then never come near this place again.

Back at the courtyard.

Mu Fusheng relayed all the relations he had gathered to Blackie and Fang Qiong.

Fang Qiong seemed interested and asked, “That Jiu Bailu is quite beautiful, isn’t she?”

Mu Fusheng unconsciously nodded.

Blackie glanced at Mu Fusheng and said, “Junior Brother Mu in love? Well then, when the time comes, your senior brother will help you out.”

Mu Fusheng almost fainted.

Big brother, I can hardly even escape, and you’re thinking of playing wingman?

“Please, don’t mess with this. Let’s just finish our mission and leave quickly.”

Mu Fusheng almost knelt down to Blackie…
