MEIWITA Chapter 657: Conflict

---

As soon as Lou Mu Yan and the others entered Bei’yuan Kingdom’s imperial capital, not only did the royal family pay attention to them, but the members of the Wild Lion Mercenary Party also received the news.

In a meeting hall of a mansion.

An elderly man walked in quickly, bowed to the three people above, and said to the skinny man: “Reporting to Deputy Leader, the aura of the person who killed Young Master has been locked on. She just entered the Imperial Capital, but she entered the city with King Jin.”

The Deputy Leader’s son had a magic tool that had the aura remnant of the person it had come into contact with. Therefore, for the past six months, he had been searcing for the person who entered Qing’yuan Forest and went to the place where the Dragon Beard Beast lived.

After many investigations and aura comparisons, he finally locked onto Lou Mu Yan, this leader of the Mu Feng Mercenary Party.

The skinny man knew that the elderly man had a powerful tracking technique, so he didn’t doubt. He furrowed his brows deeply, “Why did the person who killed my son return to the city with King Jin? That person named Lou Mu Yan also entered the palace?”

“They separated after they entered the city. Lou Mu Yan and the members of the Mu Feng Mercenary Party went to the Mercenary Union.” The elderly man paused, then said: “But according to the reports from the spies, they are staying at King Jin’s second mansion.”

The man seated in the main seat tapped his fingers on the armrest of the chair upon hearing this, the fierceness in his tiger-like eyes turning into deep thought. After a while, he said: “Since this Lou Mu Yan is somehow connected to King Jin, then don’t do anything yet. The matter between the eldest prince and us are at a critical stage and no mistakes are allowed.”

The skinny man nodded expressionlessly: “What Leader said is correct. After the Emperor steps down, King Jin will not be able to protect himself. By then, wouldn’t the Mu Feng Mercenary Party be at our disposal.”

It was necessary to avenge his son, but how could a dead son, even if he was once most beloved, compare to the current major events and interests.

“By the way, the deputy leader of the Mu Feng Mercenary Party is the Young Lord of the Mu’rong Clan.” The elderly man added after thinking for a bit.

The confusion in the eyes of the leader above grew deeper and he asked: “Does that Lou Mu Yan have some sort of strong background?”

Otherwise, how was it possible to be connected with so many people with deep backgrounds.

If Lou Mu Yan’s background was very strong, then it’d be a bigger loss to offend them just for a dead son of a deputy leader.

The skinny man’s face darkened, and he naturally thought of what the party leader was weighing in his heart, but he still couldn’t let go of his son’s death.

That was his only seedling and one he bore at old age. Most importantly was that he injured his body a few years back. He’d never have anymore heirs in the future, and there would be no one to carry on the family after his son died. How could he not hate.

“Lou Mu Yan’s identity can’t be found, her origin is unknown.” The elderly man reported truthfully.

The man above waved his hand dismissively and said: “Keep watching her, and kill them all when the First Prince takes over.”

After much deliberation, he still decided to complete the deputy leader’s desires—and their Wild Lion Mercenary Party wasn’t so easy to mess with.

“Yes.”

After Lou Mu Yan, Mu’rong Qing, and the others went to Fei Yan Chen’s second mansion, they entered their individual rooms to rest. She didn’t know that the superiors of the Mercenary Union were paying attention to her and that she was watched by the Wild Lion Mercenary Party.

“The mental energies of those people shadowing us are really annoying, how about we take care of it?” Long Yao looked at Lou Mu Yan and asked.

Lou Mu Yan nodded indifferently: “If you find it annoying, go take care of it. Either way, we don’t have anything to be cautious about.”

Long Yao was very satisfied with the decisiveness of his Female Owner. With a flash, he disappeared in the room, and soon, the mental energies that were watching the mansion were cut off, and the surroundings finally grew quiet.

They weren’t in a hurry this time, and stayed in the second mansion. They didn’t participate in the affairs of the imperial family either.

However, they also heard many rumours, basically about how the eldest prince rebelled, but he fell into a trap and was captured by Prince Jin. The remnants were also captured or killed, causing much unrest and panic throughout the imperial capital.

Ten days later, Fei Yan Chen came to the second mansion in a hurry.

“Mu Yan, my third elder brother was poisoned, can you come to the palace and help me take a look?”

Lou Mu Yan looked at the anxious Fei Yan Chen, thought for a bit, then said: “Sure!”

Mu’rong Qing and the others also entered the palace together.

After entering the palace, Fei Yan Chen immediately took Lou Mu Yan and the others into the current Emperor Bei’yuan’s resting quarters, and there were several people still standing outside.

Seeing Fei Yan Chen walking in with a few strangers, an elegant and poised woman in a phoenix robe furrowed her brows subconsciously.

“Empress, what’s third elder brother’s situation now?” Fei Yan Chen wasn’t oblivious to the woman’s displeasure that flashed past, and there wasn’t much respect in his expression.

“Aye, still the same.” The Empress sighed, revealing the perfect amount of sadness on her face. She looked at the elderly man in white beside the dragon bed and said: “Old Ge has seen to His Majesty, but he can’t do anything either.”

Then she glanced across to Lou Mu Yan and the others and asked: “Eighth younger brother, these are?”

Fei Yan Chen replied: “I invited them here to treat third elder brother.”

“They’re all physicians?” The Empress raised an eyebrow slightly and continued to ask.

“Young Miss Lou is a grade 7 physician. She cured me of a serious poison when I was travelling before.” Fei Yan Chen walked up to Lou Mu Yan and introduced.

Before the Empress could speak, a young man behind the elderly man in white couldn’t help but sneer, looked at Fei Yan Chen with some ridicule and said: “King Jin is questioning my Master’s medical skills?”

Immediately, he swept Lou Mu Yan up and down, and said disdainfully: “Her?”

Lou Mu Yan’s expression remained unchanged. She looked at the Empress deeply, looked at the elderly man in white, then lowered her gaze.

Bing Ji immediately became enraged when he heard the young man’s words. His Owner wasn’t the kind of person to be questioned.

“Motherfucker, if your Master’s so awesome, why’s Emperor Bei’yuan still lying on the bed half-dead?”

Bing Ji snorted coldly: “This Master’s Owner’s unparalleled medical skills aren’t something you, a snobbish bastard, can question.”

The young man didn’t expect to be cursed at by this very scholarly-looking elegant man. He said angrily: “You’re seeking death.”

After speaking, he took out his longsword and waved it at Bing Ji.

There was a trace of ridicule on Bing Ji’s lips, and he waved his sleeve casually. The sword aura was completely annihilated in mid-air and several icicles flew straight torwards the young man.

The young man’s expression turned pale with fright. His cultivation base was obviously far behind Bing Ji’s, so he had no room to resist, and could only watch helplessly as the icicles fell towards his face.

The white-clothed man seated on the side of the dragon bed calmly stretched out a hand, squeezed the thin air, and the icicles turned into powder, disappearing in front of the young man.

The young man gasped heavily with lingering fear, and stared at Bing Ji and his group with apprehension.

The Empress’s expression also darkened right now, and she scolded: “Eighth Prince, the people you brought are too rude and presumptuous.”

Fei Yan Chen was also infuriated, but not because of Bing Ji’s rudeness.

He looked at the Empress with grim eyes, “This King doesn’t think the people brought are rude and presumptuous. On the contrary, the Alchemy Pagoda’s Master invited by the Empress to detoxify my Emperor Brother is too disappointing.”
