Chapter 461: Chapter 458: Curse

```html

Shen Hanyue stared at him unblinkingly with her bright eyes.

Seeing him nod, she smiled. Seeing him shake his head, she couldn’t help but feel curious.

Xiao Ruoling said, ”Are these statues useful?”

”The Evil Sects of these statues are still around,” Chu Zhiyuan closed the box and shook his head, saying, ”It’s indeed quite difficult to eradicate them completely.”

Xiao Ruoling said softly, ”It’s good as long as we scare them. Although they are evil, they are also afraid of death.”

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

Although this wasn’t wrong, it didn’t align with his intention. What he wanted to do was completely eliminate all the Evil Sects within the borders of Da Jing.

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”By the way, have the people of the Wuyou Sect all left?”

Shen Hanyue said, ”They’ve all broken through to Grandmaster level, so staying here was of no use, and they left.”

Chu Zhiyuan asked, ”Can we invite Miss Meng to come?”

”Meng Canglan?” Shen Hanyue said, ”You must be careful with this Holy Daughter Meng.”

Chu Zhiyuan raised an eyebrow.

Shen Hanyue snorted, ”She appears gentle and calm as if she has no temper at all, but in fact, her temper is big, and you’ll be in trouble if you offend her!”

Chu Zhiyuan smiled.

As a Holy Daughter, how could she not have a temper, it’s just that she didn’t show it in his presence.

Everyone has several faces.

”You don’t believe me?” Shen Hanyue saw him smiling and thought he didn’t believe her.

Chu Zhiyuan asked, ”How does she have a big temper?”

Shen Hanyue pouted dismissively, ”When punishing the disciples of Wuyou Sect, she’s too ruthless.”

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”The rules of Wuyou Sect are strict. If she’s not strict, she cannot establish her authority.”

Shen Hanyue widened her bright eyes in dissatisfaction, ”Doesn’t Yao Yue Palace have strict rules too?”

Chu Zhiyuan laughed, ”Alright, alright, all of the Four Great Sects are formidable. When can she come over?”

Shen Hanyue said confidently, ”Once I send a message to her, she can arrive today.”

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”Then please invite Miss Meng over, I have something to discuss.”

”Alright.” Shen Hanyue turned and left.

Xiao Ruoling said, ”Is it to ask her to help collect the Evil Sect statues?”

Chu Zhiyuan nodded and glanced around.

Xiao Ruoling lightly waved her jade-like hand.

The accompanying women gracefully retreated.

In the small courtyard, only Chu Zhiyuan and Xiao Ruoling remained.

Chu Zhiyuan spoke about Chu Mingrui’s poisoning, and worry was apparent on his face.

”Who poisoned him?” Xiao Ruoling asked, frowning slightly: ”If it was done by someone close, then it’s troublesome.”

Not only can they poison, but they can also do other things, possibly affecting the outcome of a battle.

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”Let’s detoxify first; we can think about it later. The Court will probably send someone to investigate too.”

Xiao Ruoling sighed gently, ”It’s very troublesome.”

She understood this most clearly after becoming the Holy Daughter. The hardest to guard against are those close to you.

Once a thorough investigation starts, people would be in a panic, directly harming authority.

So, one must be cautious, even possibly investigating without any results.

”If it’s not identified, one truly cannot live comfortably.”

”Was it Da Meng who did it?”

”It should be them.”

”About the Ninth Prince...”

”She probably doesn’t know,” Chu Zhiyuan shook his head, ”It’s hard to see the details.”

The two discussed the matter in detail, and Xiao Ruoling’s words helped him clarify his thoughts.

Then they talked about some trivial matters regarding Yao Yue Palace and the State Duke Mansion.

A couple of days ago, Young Duke Xiao Ruoyu came by once, looking much more mature.

Indeed, letting go has made him grow much faster than when he was at the State Duke Mansion.

Moreover, his cultivation progress was extremely fast, advancing by leaps and bounds.

Chu Zhiyuan nodded with a smile.

Of course, he had gone to see Xiao Ruoyu, and not just once. He even went by on his way back.

Xiao Ruoyu did indeed grow rapidly, as if he had suddenly grasped something and advanced swiftly.

Chu Zhiyuan felt this couldn’t be credited to his own guidance; it could only be said that Xiao Ruoyu was self-motivated.

Xiao Ruoling remarked that it was because he had a role model, someone to admire, that he developed so quickly.

Sure enough, as Shen Hanyue said, Meng Canglan appeared on Guest Peak two hours later.

Upon meeting Chu Zhiyuan again, she seemed unchanged, still gentle and beautiful.

She readily agreed to Chu Zhiyuan’s request to give him the Evil Sect statues collected by the Wuyou Sect.

When Chu Zhiyuan mentioned Prince Ying, Chu Mingrui’s poisoning, her expression turned serious.

After hearing the symptoms Chu Zhiyuan described, Meng Canglan shook her head and said, ”Princely Heir, these symptoms don’t seem like poisoning.”

Chu Zhiyuan asked, ”Not poisoning?”

”It doesn’t seem like poisoning,” Meng Canglan replied. ”It looks like it’s caused by a type of Miracle Technique.”

”What kind of Miracle Technique?”

Meng Canglan said, ”In the Southern Border, there’s a Miracle Technique known as Curse Technique.”

Chu Zhiyuan pondered.

When Meng Canglan mentioned it, he had some impression, but it was said that the Curse Technique had long been lost.

Meng Canglan said, ”Such secret techniques are still being passed down in the Southern Border, but these people rarely venture out, unknown to the world.”

”Southern Border...” Chu Zhiyuan frowned, ”Why has the Southern Border surfaced again? It’s been quiet for a long time.”

The Southern Border lies deep within unfathomable mountains, almost unreachable.

The people of the Southern Border rarely emerge, isolated from the outside world.

Meng Canglan said, ”Prince Ying should have top-notch detoxification items and Detoxification Elixirs, yet they are ineffective, proving it’s not poisoning.”

Chu Zhiyuan asked, ”Miss Meng, have you seen this Curse Technique before?”

”...Yes,” Meng Canglan hesitated briefly, then nodded.

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”Is it the work of an expert from the Southern Border?”

”Yes,” Meng Canglan nodded.

Chu Zhiyuan fell silent.

Xiao Ruoling quietly said, ”Senior Sister Meng, could it be that people from the Southern Border have joined Da Meng?”

”That’s impossible,” Meng Canglan firmly denied, ”Though far from Da Jing, the Southern Border would never betray Da Jing and join Da Meng.”

”Then why ambush Prince Ying? He has always been in the Northern Territory and Northwest Territory and has never been to the Southern Border, so he shouldn’t have offended them, right?”

Meng Canglan said, ”Perhaps there’s some hidden intrigue, or it’s possible that someone learned the Curse Technique.”

”That’s also possible,” Xiao Ruoling nodded slightly. ”But such secret techniques wouldn’t be easily shared, right?”

”No,” Meng Canglan said, ”They are usually passed down through bloodlines, and without the right bloodline, one cannot master it.”

Her face was contemplative, always pondering the nuances, unable to fathom why the Southern Border experts would ambush Prince Ying.

Chu Zhiyuan asked, ”Can the person executing this secret technique be found?”

Meng Canglan gently shook her head, ”Unless someone who has practiced the same secret technique.”

”And the way to counter it?”

”Kill the practitioner or have someone knowledgeable about the secret technique remove it.”

”Is there no simpler method? What about a Great Grandmaster?”

”This isn’t Martial Arts; a Great Grandmaster is powerless here.”

Chu Zhiyuan thought for a moment and said solemnly, ”Miss Meng, could you trouble yourself to go north to see my tenth uncle?”

Meng Canglan smiled wryly, ”Princely Heir, the Northern Territory isn’t somewhere I can go freely, let alone get close to Prince Ying.”

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”I will write a letter, and you can go there.”

Meng Canglan pondered.

Chu Zhiyuan respectfully cupped his fists.

”Sigh...” Meng Canglan smiled wryly, ”Alright, then I’ll give it a try, and first see if it indeed is the Curse Technique on Prince Ying.”

Chu Zhiyuan smiled, cupping his fists again, ”With Miss Meng involved, I feel at ease.”

”I’m not worthy,” Meng Canglan said, ”I’m just going to see; I can’t promise to help.”

”Your effort is already enough,” Chu Zhiyuan said.

Xiao Ruoling smiled, ”We can only trouble Sister Meng with this matter; we can only be anxious and not help.”

Meng Canglan shook her head with a smile, ”Since that’s the case, I’ll set off now.”

Chu Zhiyuan nodded, ”I will write the letter to my tenth uncle now.”

Meng Canglan then took her leave.

Chu Zhiyuan began writing the letter.
