She decided that it would not be too late to make a move after fully investiging what had happened back then.

In her view, Geng Pengcheng was as good as dead, but before that, she needed to find out certain answers.

The next day at high noon, Qiao Mu and company were led to the official mansion’s main hall after a night of rest.

Prefecture Lord Geng, ah no, Dunzhu had invited not only Qiao Mu and them to entertain them at today’s banquet. He had even invited many of Shuntian Prefecture’s sect masters to accompany them.

Madam née Feng was done up exquisitely and was sitting beside Dunzhu, with Huanghe and Lingfei standing behind her.

There was dance and song in the banquet, and everyone exchanged cups of wine as they talked and laughed.

Many of the sect masters had come to attend with their sons and daughters.

Even though they didn’t say anything, their gazes would seemingly keep passing back over the seat of honor.

Crown Prince Mo and Miss Qiao were sitting there. Even though they hadn’t said anything, their presence made them a bit fearful.

“Ahaha.” Suddenly, a bald middle-aged man with a round face stood up and laughed boorishly while raising his cup toward Dunzhu. “Prefecture Lord Geng, this must be the Vassal Prince of Jianping from the Divine Province!”

Other people were unaware that the Vassal Prince of Jianping had left Shuntian Prefecture that very night. He might have already made it back to the Divine Province already.

Dunzhu waved his hand and turned to say to Mo Lian and Qiao Mu, “Your Highnesses the Crown Prince and the Crown Prince Consort, this is Qing Guang, the faction master of Six Yang Faction.”

Dunzhu couldn’t help wanting to cry when thinking of these sect and faction masters.

Last night, that screwy Feng Chen had kicked him into Fish Orchid Planet and forced him to read up on a ton of Shuntian Prefecture’s new and old information. His eyes had gotten puffy from staying up!

He had stayed in Fish Orchid Planet for a full four days in the span of a night in the outside world to remember all the information he needed to know. The feeling was truly incomparably spine-tingling.

“Faction Master Qing Guang, this is the crown prince of the Divine Province and not the Vassal Prince of Jianping you speak of. This is the crown prince consort.”

Qing Guang of the Six Yang Faction promptly turned sober and saluted Mo Lian and Qiao Mu. “Excuse my lack of manners. This humble one was unaware of Your Highness the Crown Prince’s esteemed presence. If my words have offended Your Highness, please be magnaminous.”

Even though his small Six Yang Faction could be considered a top influence in the Shuntian Prefecture, it would only be a trivial power in a place as large as the Divine Province.

Mo Lian did not say anything and merely nodded his head lightly.

Even though the faction master of the Six Yang Faction wanted to connect with His Highness the Crown Prince, he could only resentfully sit back down at the latter’s aloof treatment.

Evidentally, this crown prince of the Divine Province was not someone who liked getting to know other people.

Upon learning of Mo Lian and Qiao Mu’s identities, the other guests also quickly stood up to salute them.

Afterwards, they sat down, with both the guests and the hosts thoroughly enjoying themselves.

Madam née Feng swept a glance at Dunzhu who was sitting next to her. She furrowed her brows.

Madam née Feng was a bit upset that the prefecture lord didn’t come back at all last night. She had especially sent someone to ask around and did not learn that he had spent the night with any of his concubines.

He didn’t even spend the night with Sheila Min, that seductress whom he recently had been favoring the most.

A series of crisp rings entered her ears as she was contemplating.

Madam née Feng’s instantly pulled a long face when she looked up.

The person who had come was a woman with a lithe figure. Her face was half-covered with a white veil.

Her cold eyes swept across those present. Her whole body couldn’t help but jolt when her gaze landed next to Mo Lian.

It’s her?

It really was her! She still had that expressionless face while sitting there silently.

It wasn’t that her eyes were playing tricks on her…
