Chapter 920: Chapter 916: Mediation

Fu Zheng smiled and said, ”Thank you, Your Highness. There’s good news about the ice jade.”

”Oh—?”

”A martial arts expert from the Li Huo Fist Sect has a treasure for cutting ice jade.”

”Really?”

”It’s quite a coincidence. The hoe can also cut, and it’s already made into a flying knife.”

As she spoke, she took out an animal skin pouch from her sleeve.

When opened, it revealed several flying knives inside, black as ink.

Chu Zhiyuan reached out and picked up one of the flying knives, about the size of a pinky, extremely heavy.

As it touched his hand, it radiated a warm aura, akin to sunshine in the winter.

He weighed it a bit and smiled, ”Not bad.”

Fu Zheng beamed, ”The Four Great Sects still have some skills.”

Originally, she looked down on the Four Great Sects, thinking they were just average.

No mastery in comprehension, no achievement in cultivation, plus their actions lacked generosity.

Now she realized she had underestimated them; their roots and accumulation were indeed profound.

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”The skills of the Li Huo Fist Sect?”

”Their fist techniques are powerful, but even more impressive is their artifact refining, possessing many divine weapons.”

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

Fu Zheng said, ”Yet strangely, they hardly use those divine weapons themselves.”

Chu Zhiyuan chuckled, ”So, what do they do with those divine weapons?”

”All those divine weapons are kept in their grotto heaven,” Fu Zheng said. ”Their grotto heaven is called Spiritual Splendor Cave Heaven.”

Chu Zhiyuan nodded, ”I’ve heard of it.”

Fu Zheng snorted, ”The other three sects criticize them for squandering treasures, but they claim artifact refining is to enhance the grotto heaven, not to escalate killing.”

”Fist techniques can also kill,” Chu Zhiyuan replied.

Fu Zheng said, ”They believe that if their divine weapons kill, it’s also their guilt. Quite a peculiar mindset.”

Chu Zhiyuan slowly nodded.

The experts of the Li Huo Fist Sect likely have deep feelings for the divine weapons they craft, treating them like their children.

It’s probably necessary to invest emotions during the artifact-refining process.

Chu Zhiyuan put the animal skin pouch into his sleeve, directly entering the Silver Ring.

”Your Highness, I shall act tonight,” Fu Zheng confirmed once more, her expression still couldn’t hide her excitement.

Chu Zhiyuan nodded, ”Yes, go ahead.”

As they spoke, someone reported from outside; the Third Prince and his wife had arrived.

Chu Zhiyuan was surprised, not expecting the Third Prince and also the Third Princess Consort to come over.

He personally went to the mansion’s gate to welcome them, leading them into the front courtyard.

After sitting down at the stone table under the peculiar tree, Chu Zhiyuan smiled, ”Third Brother is clearly doing well.”

Li Chunhou chuckled, ”Brother-in-law, don’t make fun of me.”

Chu Zhiyuan glanced at Cheng Ruoxi, ”I regrettably couldn’t attend your wedding with my Third Brother and Princess Consort, truly rude; my wife will certainly blame me once she returns from seclusion.”

”Cultivation is important,” Li Chunhou waved his hand and said, ”Did your seclusion yield any results?”

Chu Zhiyuan smiled, ”Tongtian Pavilion is indeed a good place for seclusion.”

”Not everyone can enter the Tongtian Pavilion,” Li Chunhou looked envious, ”I want to enter but can’t.”

Chu Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows.

Li Chunhou sighed, ”The rules of Fengtian Palace are strict, and I, as a Prince, am no exception.”

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”Worthy of Fengtian Palace.”

”Sigh... any gains?”

”Currently comprehending the Space Path, it’s the insight from that White Cloud Map of the Phoenix Sword Sect.”

”Oh...” Li Chunhou said, ”Didn’t expect such a wondrous item, unfortunately, can’t get in.”

Being a Prince, he certainly knew about the White Cloud Map of the Phoenix Sword Sect and also learned that Chu Zhiyuan comprehended the map, opening the passage to the Demon Realm.

But entering the Demon Realm would weaken one’s realm, and there are too many experts there.

Entering it would be suicidal.

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head, ”Third Brother came by, any guidance?”

Li Chunhou was close to Li Miaotan but not very close to this brother-in-law.

He was wholeheartedly dedicated to cultivation, straightforward in actions, low emotional intelligence, blunt in interactions.

He always felt he didn’t deserve Li Miaotan.

Today’s friendliness was rare; they usually met very casually.

”Sigh...” Li Chunhou sighed, ”It’s actually about my little sister.”

”What’s concerning your wife?”

”About Fifth Prince Yuanzhen,” Li Chunhou said. ”To mediate between you two.”

Chu Zhiyuan frowned, looked at him, then at Cheng Ruoxi.

Since Cheng Ruoxi entered, she had been smiling silently, almost like a decoration.

Chu Zhiyuan knew that what Li Chunhou said was due to her.

”It’s not Ruoxi’s doing,” Li Chunhou waved his hand, saying, ”I think it’s no longer appropriate to stir things up, since things are peaceful now, let it pass.”

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head, ”I cannot agree with Third Brother on this.”

”It’s already been fought out, it’s almost enough,” Li Chunhou said. ”The Fifth Prince’s injuries weren’t light either, should be appeased.”

Chu Zhiyuan frowned and shook his head, sighed deeply.

Never expected him to come with such a request.

He took a deep breath, suppressed his emotions, and sighed, ”Third Brother, I can agree, but as for what my wife will do, I won’t interfere.”

”My little sister listens to you,” Li Chunhou said.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled, ”If the Empress knew, afraid that...”

He glanced at Cheng Ruoxi.

Cheng Ruoxi smiled, said nothing.

Chu Zhiyuan saw a hint of helplessness, her silence was to preserve Li Chunhou’s face.

Chu Zhiyuan instantly understood.

This was Li Chunhou trying to please Cheng Ruoxi, indeed...

He shook his head inwardly.

This Third Prince might be a romantic fool?

If it were the Eldest Prince or Second Prince, he would never believe it, but regarding the Third Prince, he couldn’t entirely deny it.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t make such foolish moves.

It’s said that husbands forget their mothers once married; he even forgets his sister, expecting her to bear grievances.

He felt heartache for Li Miaotan.

”... I’ll speak with Mother,” Li Chunhou hesitated for a moment, then hurriedly added, ”Mother is also wise and judicious.”

Chu Zhiyuan smiled, ”Yes, the Empress has always been wise and judicious.”

No matter how wise, regarding Cheng Yunzheng she harbors deep resentment.

Li Chunhou said, ”Brother-in-law, rest assured, Fifth Prince won’t act recklessly again.”

Chu Zhiyuan looked at his excited demeanor, inwardly shook his head.

Is this a man lost in affection? Really muddle-headed to such an extent?

He looked towards Cheng Ruoxi again.

Cheng Ruoxi sighed, ”Then we’ll take our leave.”

Chu Zhiyuan thought for a moment, slowly said, ”Third Brother, are you aware that you’re putting the Third Princess Consort in a disadvantageous position?”

”Hmm—?” Li Chunhou was startled.

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”I know this wasn’t incited by the Third Princess Consort, but others won’t see it that way.”

Li Chunhou quickly said, ”Of course my Third Sister-in-law didn’t incite me to say these things!”

Chu Zhiyuan slowly said, ”I believe it, but others might not, especially the Empress.”

Li Chunhou frowned.

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”Third Brother, think, if you were the Empress, how would you view the Third Princess Consort?”

Li Chunhou’s expression changed slightly.

Earlier, he was full of fervor, but no one dared to break it. Now, with Chu Zhiyuan pointing it out, he suddenly realized the imprudence.

Chu Zhiyuan sighed, ”Regarding the Fifth Prince, Third Brother your position is awkward, best to avoid suspicion.”

Li Chunhou unwillingly said, ”Our relationship is different now; there’s no need to escalate to such a degree, don’t end up regretting.”

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head with a smile, ”It’s better left for my wife to decide.”

Li Chunhou fell silent.

Cheng Ruoxi softly said, ”Prince, let’s go along with my brother-in-law.”
