Song of Adolescence

Chapter 357 Murder Plot in Heavenly Revelations

Lanyue Marquis Residence.

Lanyue Marquis put on a set of fitted clothes in black, his long sabre armed at his waist and his long hair tied up in a bun as he walked out of his room.

When the house steward saw Lanyue Marquis’s appearance, he was shocked. "This, this, this… Marquis! You look like you’re heading out to kill someone."

Lanyue Marquis was known to enjoy poetry and wine and earned favours with both the imperial court and the commoners. He had a reputation for getting along well with people, but that did not mean he didn’t kill. Not many people had seen him kill, but his residence house steward had seen it several times.

"It’s not like I really want to kill someone, but if they deliver themselves to me, I just have to kill." Lanyue Marquis laughed. "Prepare the carriage."

"Where… where are you going?" The house steward asked.

Lanyue Marquis continued walking ahead. "White Prince Residence."

Yong'an Prince Residence.

Xiao Se boarded the carriage. Sikong Qianluo was already seated inside, clutching her spear and closing her eyes to gather herself. She didn’t open her eyes but asked, "Is there going to be a big fight today?"

"Perhaps," Xiao Se said lightly.

"How many more of such days before it ends?" Sikong Qianluo asked.

Xiao Se was silent for a while, then he said, "Trust me. It won't be long."

"When this is all over, will you go back to Snow Moon City with me?" Sikong Qianluo asked.

"Why aren’t you opening your eyes?" Xiao Se asked her.

Sikong Qianluo’s cheeks reddened. If she opened her eyes, she would never have the courage to say such a thing. Even as she was speaking, her heart was pounding in her chest. She swallowed nervously. "Why aren’t you answering my question?"

Xiao Se chuckled. "I will answer you. It's not the right time yet."

"Do you know why I’ve been training my spear so hard?" Sikong Qianluo didn't wait for Xiao Se to answer, and continued saying, "Because I want to be stronger than you. When the time comes, if you don’t come with me, I’ll tie you up and take you with me. They’re all saying you’re going to be the Emperor. But, what’s the point of being the Emperor? Look at your father. His life is exhausting. And this Heavenly Revelations City…"

"Alright, that’s enough." Xiao Se interrupted her. "I understand everything."

"Then you…" Sikong Qianluo hesitated for a while, and suddenly opened her eyes. "Forget it. Anyway, when the time comes, I’ll kidnap you for sure."

The moment she opened her eyes, they met Xiao Se's. He had a small smile on his face and Sikong Qianluo thought he was laughing at her, so she turned away hurriedly.

Even if she had inherited the mantle of the Spear Immortal and entered the Unfettered Heavenly Realm, she was still a young lady, after all.

Cheng'an Hall.

Mu Chunfeng and Hua Jin were organising the medical case in silence. Finally, Mu Chunfeng slung the medical case on his back and hung his long sword at his waist. Hua Jin glanced at him. "We’re going to save people, not kill people. Why are you bringing a sword?"

Mu Chunfeng chuckled. "We’re not going to kill people, but we have to defend ourselves from other people who want to kill us. Let’s go, shifu."

Hua Jin scratched her head. "This Heavenly Revelations City is really troublesome. I can’t wait to finish this job and return to Medicine King Valley."

Mu Chunfeng's eyes lit up. "Can I go to Medicine King Valley too?"

Hua Jin rolled her eyes. "You’re a disciple of my Medicine King Valley. Of course you can go."

Mu Chunfeng responded happily, "Great!"

As they walked out the door, two of the Five Grand Eunuchs were standing there waiting for them, the Eunuch of Sword, Jin Wei Gonggong and the Eunuch of Records, Jin Yu Gonggong.

"I say, shifu, when the Emperor goes on a trip, his entourage is probably like yours now." Mu Chunfeng couldn't help but sigh when he saw the two Gonggong looking solemn.

Jin Wei Gonggong was solemn, because Hua Jin is not allowed to die. The Emperor’s life was still in her hands.

Jin Yu Gonggong was solemn, because he was the White Prince’s second master, and he knew how important it was to the White Prince to see this world again.

And they all knew one thing. On this day, many people wanted to kill Hua Jin.

Lei Wujie clutched his sword and waited outside the gate. The Heart sword had been vibrating non-stop since morning.

"Feels uneasy." He sighed softly.

White Prince Residence.

Today, Xiao Chong got up as usual, bathed, changed his clothes, and sat in the courtyard listening to Ling Shaohan's report on imperial affairs. Then, he spent some time training and practicing his sword before he took a break for his meal.

Everything he did, each task and routine, was done exactly the same as usual.

But it was way too normal and way too meticulous.

Even Xiao Jingxia couldn't resist a sigh. "Huang-xiong is nervous today."

Standing next to him, Ling Shaohan nodded. "He’s been hoping for this for so many years, after all."

Xiao Jingxia glanced at him. "What about you?"

Ling Shaohan bowed his head. "I’ve also been hoping for many years."

"Good." Xiao Jingxia nodded.

Red Prince Residence.

Su Muyu stood in the courtyard, his arms wrapped around his oil-paper umbrella. Next to him was Su Changhe.

"Where are they?" Su Muyu asked.

"I’ve made separate arrangements. You head out first and they’ll be there to back you up when the time comes," Su Changhe replied.

"Okay." Su Muyu nodded, turned around and walked out.

"He’s a good seed, Mister Ye Ya said. He can become a superb piece of work." Xiao Yu emerged only after Su Muyu left. This killer, codenamed "Umbrella Ghost", was once ranked among the Four Great Evils. Xiao Yu had always held great respect for him and would never talk flippantly about him.

"Don't even think of plotting against him. Not just him, don’t try anything with the three Hidden River Heads of Houses. Each of the Hidden River Heads of Houses hold an extremely high status and prestige in their respective houses. Even what we’re planning here must be kept from Su Muyu. After these chess pieces are used up, they must be eliminated." Su Changhe looked at Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu nodded. "Although it’s a real waste, I’ve already spoken to Mister Ye Ya."

Su Changhe did not continue the topic. "Although we’ve dispatched so many people this time, whether it’s the White Prince or Yong'an Prince, they’ll definitely protect the little wench from Medicine King Valley. Yong'an Prince will no longer believe that the Hidden River are loyal to the White Prince. This time, we’ll be facing two sets of enemies at the same time."

"After this, the White Prince will cease to exist in this world." Xiao Yu smiled. "As for Yong'an Prince, we will deal with him later using appropriate means. They still have no idea who the enemy they should be most concerned about is."

White Prince Residence.

Hua Jin led Mu Chunfeng into the White Prince’s room. Inside, Xiao Chong, Xiao Jingxia, and Ling Shaohan were waiting for them.

Jin Yu Gonggong and Jin Wei Gonggong stood on both sides of the door, their expressions grave.

Lanyue Marquis’s carriage stopped at the front door of the White Prince Residence. He closed his eyes and sat inside without saying a word. It looked like he had no intention of disembarking.

The house steward, who had personally driven the carriage, wiped away his sweat. He thought to himself, Looks like we’re not here to kill the White Prince. That’s good. That’s good.

Xiao Se's carriage stopped at the back door, and Sikong Qianluo tightened her grip on her spear, ready to attack at any time. Xiao Se didn't bring his Wuji staff. He didn’t intend to fight today.

Lei Wujie yawned and lay on the roof eaves. The Heart sword by his side was still vibrating continuously.

Inside the residence, another senior walked out of the room. He was an opponent that nobody in their right mind would want to encounter.

No matter how powerful the killer who encountered him, they would rather take a detour.

Wrath Sword Immortal, Yan Zhantian.

At the same time, countless black shadows were approaching the building.

The curtain of murder in Heavenly Revelations had lifted.

While an even more dangerous opponent was heading straight for Heavenly Revelations.
