Chapter 2352: Chapter 17: The Wang Family Arrives at the Immortal Dynasty! Corrosive Moon Demon Palace_3

Though he hadn’t personally participated in this matter, he had heard about it.

“Not only that, Wei Qingyun used a special Jade Talisman to summon a Heavenly Tribulation. After investigation, it’s found to be a forbidden talisman [Deceiving Heaven and Attracting Thunder] lost during the Divine Martial Era.” Wang Fugui said indifferently, “Over the years, the Wei Family has remained low-key and actively participated in resisting the Demonic World, contributing a lot. They seem to be on the right path, gradually making people forget the past.”

“However, based on the grudge between their family and the Wang family, and the possibility of some hidden secrets, how could I not be cautious? Therefore, I later asked Aunt Mei to arrange some personnel to infiltrate the Wei Family, waiting for an opportunity.”

“You’ve even had deep interactions with Aunt Mei?” Wang Ningxi couldn’t help but feel a sense of disorientation when thinking of that person, “The last time I saw her was at the Divine Martial Military Management Training Academy. If it hadn’t been for Old Ancestor Grandpa asking me to arrange her slot… wait, why can I not remember what she looks like at all?”

“Forty-Seventh Uncle…” Wang Fugui said helplessly, “Old Ancestor Grandpa has been lazy and has already handed over the matters of Group Immortal Palace to me.”

“Group Immortal Palace?” Wang Ningxi took a deep breath, “Isn’t that the Wang family’s most mysterious, low-key, and ubiquitous intelligence organization?”

As the most secretive intelligence organization of the Wang family, Group Immortal Palace grew in strength alongside the Wang family’s increasing power. However, their actions became more low-key and secretive, rarely known by outsiders.

Only at Wang Ningxi’s level did he come to know of the existence of the Group Immortal Palace. Most members of the Wang family actually had no idea about the secret cultivation of such a top-secret intelligence organization.

“That’s right, but Aunt Mei only acknowledges me as the Young Master—I only manage the Group Immortal Palace temporarily. She secretly meets Old Ancestor Grandpa every ten years and usually stays in the study for a whole day. The strangest part is that her demeanor and appearance are completely different each time she appears; there was once I even thought Immortal Emperor His Majesty had sneaked into Old Ancestor Grandpa’s study.”

Even Wang Fugui couldn’t help but secretly speculate.

When Aunt Mei was young, was she perhaps a concubine of Old Ancestor Grandpa? Otherwise, how could it be like this?

Upon hearing this, Wang Ningxi also found it quite reasonable.

He sighed deeply, “I never thought Old Ancestor Grandpa had quite the romantic tales in his youth. A few days ago, when listening to Baoguang vividly recounting Old Ancestor Grandpa’s stories, I doubted it somewhat…”

“Wait!” Wang Fugui suddenly came to his senses, “Are we getting off-topic? Back to the matter at hand… this time, we must thoroughly investigate the Wei Family. If they are just trying to enhance their family’s foundation, we might hold off on launching the Second Generation Xuan Armor so as not to stifle their enthusiasm for developing new products. But if they harbor malicious intentions, don’t blame me, Wang Fugui, for being ruthless.”

“In that case, I will also investigate Duobao Pavilion, perhaps indirectly obtaining some intelligence.” Wang Ningxi nodded in agreement.

…

Several days later.

The King of the North’s Mansion was about to welcome an “esteemed guest,” which was none other than the current Third Princess Jingan.

Princess Jingan had heard that Yun Mengyu returned to her maternal home with her child for a short stay, and since she happened to be back in Immortal City for errands and rest, naturally, as per etiquette, she must pay a visit.

High above the southern entrance square of the King of the North’s Mansion, Princess Jingan’s flying carriage was slowly descending.

Inside the carriage, Princess Jingan, Yun Shaoguang, sat at the main seat, her luxurious light blue and purple princess dress shimmering under the Spirit Lamp, highlighting her snow-white skin and adding a touch of majesty and mystery.

Her gaze was on the Princess Mansion staff officer Wang Hanmo, saying, “Are all the congratulatory gifts for the Fourth Brother prepared?”

Over the years, the changes in Princess Jingan had been quite significant.

Initially, when Princess Su Yun was ennobled as Empress Princess, she was naturally dissatisfied, but under Wang Hanmo’s persistent and blunt provocations, the matter of Princess Su Yun being ennobled didn’t seem so hard to accept anymore.

Unknowingly, she adjusted her mindset, and her relationship with the other three princesses unknowingly improved considerably.

Her cultivation base had also advanced to the Mid Stage of the Divine Power Territory in the past two years, and along with the many years of tempering on the battlefield beyond the region, she had shed impatience, appearing increasingly calm and reserved, and her aura had somewhat resembled the demeanor of Princess Su Yun of yesteryears.

Upon hearing Princess Jingan’s words, Wang Hanmo nodded in response, “As per your command, the congratulatory gifts have been prepared in double portions according to the respective specifications.”

Over the past couple of centuries, Wang Hanmo grew from an unattended staff officer to completely becoming the right arm of Princess Jingan, maturing greatly during this time.

The one thing that didn’t change was that he remained somewhat “blunt,” hesitating slightly before saying, “Third Princess, I still believe that matter requires a thorough investigation; I’m afraid there’s something deeper involved.”

Princess Jingan raised her eyebrows, “Wang Hanmo, is there no end to it? Isn’t it just that some prisoners of the Demonic Clan escaped from the war camp? Qingyun indeed has some negligence, and I’ve warned and punished him. He promised he would never make such mistakes again. This matter ends here… Let’s not make outsiders laugh.”

“Shaoguang~” Wang Hanmo suddenly grasped Princess Jingan’s hand earnestly, “I absolutely am not trying to undermine competitors, and besides, we’ve already made a decision, why should I trouble Wei Qingyun any further?”
