Chapter 488 - 348 Killing the Chicken to Warn the Monkey_2

But Chen Xuan was not available, so the Pang Family sought to approach through Shi Jian.

However, unlike his usual courteous demeanor towards the Pang Family, Shi Jian returned all their offerings this time.

With the remark, Prince Xuan won’t see anyone.

Having no other choice, he had to step forward.

"Indeed, it’s not just the Pang Family, rMolan Mansion’s families are all the same."

"You must have realized this by now."

Facing his explanation, Pang Yun nodded slightly.

Indeed, from the information he gathered, this Prince Xuan really hasn’t met with anyone.

Yet, unwilling to let it go, he asked again, "Is there really no other way?"

"Or... does Prince Xuan have any preferences or needs... could Chief Steward Shi provide a hint?"

"Hmm...."

Shi Jian hesitated momentarily.

What does Chen Xuan like?

It’s only been a few days, how could he know?

And even if he did know, he wouldn’t dare to say.

Although he had only met Chen Xuan once, the pressure from him surpassed that from the Crane King.

Moreover, he sensed that this individual might be even more ruthless than the Crane King.

But Pang Yun mistook his hesitation as a desire for benefits.

Thus, he took out a small box from his pocket and pressed it into Shi Jian’s hand, "A pill is a token of respect, not highly effective, but it should help Chief Steward Shi to reach Mid-Stage Profound Realm faster."

"Gulp!"

Shi Jian unconsciously swallowed.

He had been stuck at Early-Stage Profound Realm for some years, and had nearly given up hope.

Unexpectedly... Pang Yun gave such a grand gift.

This made him truly hesitate.

Although he felt the box was a hot potato, ultimately he couldn’t resist the temptation.

"I saw Prince Xuan’s wife is pregnant."

It was the only useful information he had.

"Thank you!"

Pang Yun was quite pleased, now that’s something.

With this news, his Pang Family could cater appropriately.

"Young Master Pang, today we haven’t met!"

Shi Jian said solemnly.

His eyes locked onto Pang Yun.

"I was just leisurely strolling, what’s this place?"

He said as he casually left.

Watching him disappear in the direction, Shi Jian let out a long sigh.

Looking again at the box in his hand, regret surged within him.

"Why is it that you can’t resist temptation? Damn it!"

...

Pang Family!

"Prince Xuan’s wife is pregnant?"

Pang Sida said gravely.

"Yes, that’s what Shi Jian said, he shouldn’t be lying to me."

Especially after receiving such a generous gift, would he dare to deceive me?

Unless he doesn’t want to live anymore.

"That’s difficult then."

Pang Sida felt a headache.

Anything else would be easier, the Pang Family has plenty, but items suitable for pregnant women are rare.

The ordinary ones the Pang Family has, but even sending those as presents would be embarrassing.

"Send word to the Imperial City side, let them prepare."

It’s also the intention of the Imperial City side to befriend Prince Xuan.

"Alright!"

Pang Yun nodded, then asked, "Does the Imperial City want to befriend him because of his connection with the Princess?"

Even so, with the status of the Imperial City Pang Family, there’s no need for such.

Because behind the Pang Family stands the Eldest Prince.

Not something a princess from Great Yu can compare to.

"Unknown!"

Pang Sida shook his head, who knows what the other side is thinking.

As long as they do what they’re told.

He couldn’t care about anything else.

They’re not returning to the Imperial City.

This was the oath made by the ancestor, managing to do this is already considerate.

...

"How is it? Is the position of Minister comfortable?"

In the room, Chen Xuan teased an exhausted Qin Ke.

"Aye!"

Qin Ke shook his head, feeling weary.

Before obtaining it, he was constantly thinking about it, but now that he become the Minister of the Three Judicial Departments, it was just so.

Especially those in gold robes paid him no regard.

They didn’t even show him a friendly face.

Ultimately, his own strength was too weak, unable to assert authority over them.

"Alright, no need to sigh, I’ve arranged for a few Mid-Stage Profound Realm experts from the Gu Family to join the Three Judicial Departments to support you, the situation should improve."

"Of course, you must cultivate well yourself, as the Minister of the Three Judicial Departments, only Late-Stage Immortal Grade, you might be the weakest Minister in the history of Great Yu."

Without sufficient power, even sitting in this position, you can’t remain stable.

"Yes, thank you, Master!"

Qin Ke was immediately filled with excitement.

He really dared not imagine what would happen without his master’s intervention afterward!

"Don’t be too happy just yet, these days rMolan Mansion won’t be peaceful, the Southern King plans to send someone for a final attempt, I estimate a Dao Realm at the minimum, possibly more than one, you need to prepare yourself mentally."

According to Qin Ying, the Southern King only has about a month left.

After plotting for so many years, he won’t give up easily.

"Then there’s nothing your disciple can do."

Qin Ke immediately wore a bitter face.

That’s the Southern King, even if Zong Peng and his team were present, I doubt they’d manage.

"Fool!"

Chen Xuan glared at him, "You’re the Minister of the Three Judicial Departments, one of Great Yu’s, would they dare do anything to you?"

"Besides, am I not here?"

Qin Ke nodded.

But still harbored some worry in his heart.

Though they might not do anything openly, behind the scenes, it’s hard to say.

"By the way, Master, this was given to your disciple by Zong Peng before he left, it’s the Three Judicial Departments’ treasure; the Crane King was afraid of it and dared not to act impulsively."

Qin Ke took out a golden wooden box from his pocket and handed it to Chen Xuan.
