Chapter 1385: Chapter 1382: Xu Wendong Is Poisoned

Four eyes met, Xu Wendong’s face broke into a faint smile: ”Long time no see, very glad to see you again!”

He didn’t lie.

Being able to see the woman he once went through hardships with, his heart was still excited and happy.

Fei Yan also smiled: ”I’m also very glad to see you. I really didn’t expect that after a few years, your cultivation level has reached the Great Ascension Peak.”

”Indeed, one must treat others with respect after three days apart!”

Although she had also progressed rapidly to the Mahayana realm, it was only the Early Mahayana Stage, whereas Xu Wendong’s realm was far above hers.

Even though she knew Xu Wendong had extraordinary talent, she didn’t expect him to progress so quickly.

Hongying couldn’t help but laugh: ”We’re no strangers, there’s no need to be so restrained and courteous!”

As soon as these words came out.

Fei Yan’s face immediately showed a hint of bashfulness, recalling the days of being forced into dual cultivation with Xu Wendong in the Demon Realm, and the joy and happiness that came after accepting that.

Although they were no strangers anymore, back then she compromised only due to the circumstances.

Now, they have already gained freedom.

Not to mention, she is still the Princess of Lingyou Kingdom.

Despite this, Fei Yan still spoke tenderly: ”I’ve had the maids prepare lunch, let’s move to the dining room and chat while we eat!”

With that, Xu Wendong and Hongying followed Fei Yan to the dining room, where the table was already set with delicious dishes that looked colorful, fragrant, and mouthwatering.

Fei Yan looked at the servant, uttering a light, clear voice: ”You may leave, do not enter without my permission!”

”Yes!”

The servant respectfully agreed, then left the dining room, leaving only Xu Wendong, Hongying, and Fei Yan in the large dining room.

Fei Yan smiled and raised a glass of wine, her eyes complex: ”Come, a toast to fate bringing us together again.”

Xu Wendong and Hongying also raised their glasses, the three drank together, and then began to taste the delicacies in front of them, conversing about what had happened to each over the years.

The atmosphere was calm, yet very warm.

After several rounds of drinks, Hongying suddenly said: ”Sister Feiyan, we are planning to go to Shangqing Country, do you want to join us?”

Fei Yan paused, her eyes dimmed significantly, she shook her head and softly said: ”I want to go out, but being part of the Imperial Family, there are many unavoidable obligations!”

Xu Wendong softly said: ”The road is under our own feet, you can choose the life you want.”

Fei Yan forced a smile: ”We are different!”

She picked up her wine glass, a bright smile appeared on her face: ”Alright, no more of that, let’s drink!”

Xu Wendong quietly sighed but said nothing more.

Perhaps it was due to the oppressive mood, after a few drinks, Xu Wendong surprisingly felt a bit intoxicated.

This surprised him greatly, knowing his Soul Force was comparable to a Seventh-Level Scatter Immortal, ordinary drinks should not make him feel dizzy.

At this moment.

The sound of rapid footsteps echoed in the courtyard, and an elder dressed in eunuch’s attire with a cold expression, accompanied by a group of imposing Great Vehicle stage peak warriors in golden armor, entered.

This old eunuch, around sixty years old, had a withered appearance, with skin like the bark of an old tree weathered by time, covered with fine wrinkles and mottled age spots.

His eyes were deep-set in their sockets, sharp and eagle-eyed, as if he could pierce the deepest secrets of the human soul.

His eyes were slightly upturned, forming sharp triangular shapes, whenever he rolled his eyes, they exuded a chilling aura.

His nose was high and thin, the tip slightly hooked, resembling an eagle’s beak poised to strike.

The corners of his mouth carried a faint, cold smile, which was devoid of warmth and instead filled with an air of calculation and intrigue.

The old eunuch’s figure was slim and erect, despite his age, his spine still held straight, like a bamboo stick that would not bend.

He wore deep purple eunuch’s attire adorned with intricate golden patterns, highlighting his position and power within the palace.

However, this splendid garment only accentuated his insidious aura, making people unable to look him in the eye.

His steps were steady and swift, each one radiating an undeniable authority and strength.

When he entered the dining room, the chilling atmosphere seemed to rush in with him, causing the air in the dining room to solidify.

He stood there like a moving iceberg, emitting waves of cold that made people shiver.

Seeing the old eunuch, a trace of surprise flashed in Fei Yan’s beautiful eyes, she immediately stood up and said politely: ”Why has Eunuch Li come here?”

Although she was the Princess of Lingyou Kingdom, this person before her was the Chief Eunuch, not only a favored minister beside the Monarch of Lingyou Kingdom but also possessed a Sixth-level Scattered Immortal cultivation.

However, Fei Yan didn’t understand why he would bring so many experts to her residence.

Eunuch Li’s gaze swept around like a hawk, eventually landing on Xu Wendong, revealing a playful smile: ”You must be Young Master Xu, Xu Wendong, right? Your Majesty invites you to the palace!”

At those words.

Fei Yan suddenly felt chills down her spine, a sensation of cold all over.

Her beautiful eyes showed indescribable shock, her delicate body trembling.

She had never leaked information about Xu Wendong, but Eunuch Li recognized Xu Wendong and even uttered his name, how could she not be shocked?

Coming to her senses, Fei Yan angrily said: ”Eunuch Li, have you performed Soul Searching Technique on me?”

Eunuch Li covered his face with regret: ”Your Highness Princess, calm your anger. You disappeared for so many years and suddenly returned, of course, Your Majesty would be worried and curious, so upon your return, His Majesty ordered me to perform Soul Searching Technique on you.”

”Everything I did was under His Majesty’s Imperial Edict, please don’t blame me, Princess!”

Fei Yan’s face was full of anxiety, she shouted loudly: ”Wendong, run!”

She didn’t know why her father wanted to summon Xu Wendong to the palace, but one thing was clear, her father certainly knew Xu Wendong had an independent Minor World.

And this treasure was enough to make one lose oneself.

Even an emperor of a Second-Level Cultivation Nation could not resist such temptation.

Hongying’s face was also filled with anxiety, an ominous premonition rose in her heart, she never thought the emperor of Lingyou Kingdom would perform Soul Searching Technique on Fei Yan.

This made the situation increasingly unfavorable for them.

Eunuch Li, with a smile that was not quite a smile, looked at Xu Wendong: ”Young Master Xu, you are a smart person, you wouldn’t make such a foolish decision, would you?”

”Taking a step back, even if you wanted to escape, I’m afraid you’d be unable to.” He said, with a meaningful smile.

Xu Wendong struggled to stand up, supported by the table, a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes: ”So, the reason I feel dizzy isn’t because of drinking too much, but because there’s poison in the wine?”
