Once he couldnāt successfully stop it, let him take out all these auxiliary flags.
Even if the main flag is set up, the array still cannot form.
"Put it here, later Iāll have your master examine what kind of array this is."
He was also very curious in his heart.
Just how did this array locate Ning Xin and the others.
"Yes!"
Qin Ke placed down these small black flags and was about to leave, but was stopped by Chen Xuan, "When youāre ready for your breakthrough, let me know, Iāll protect you."
"Got it, thank you, Master."
Qin Ke didnāt think much of it, especially since a previous breakthrough almost went awry. If Chen Xuan hadnāt intervened in time, he wouldāve been finished.
Now he lives in the Three Judicial Departments, while Chen Xuan is in Prince Xuanās Mansion.
If something went wrong, he would just have to resign himself to fate.
"By the way, do you know how the clone is refined?"
Chen Xuan looked at Gu Pengyou.
"I donāt know!"
She shook her head, then continued, "Not even my second uncle might know, weāve just heard those three words."
"Mm!"
Chen Xuan nodded, then asked, "Has Gu Yun undergone any changes since becoming the King of Jiuyue Mansion?"
"Changes?"
"I truly donāt know, my second uncle became the King of Jiuyue Mansion before I was born!"
Though she didnāt know why he asked, her keen mind sensed something was off.
"No matter, Iām just asking casually, you two may leave now, Iāll be alone for a while."
The two saw this and then left the grand hall.
Until they returned to the room, Gu Pengyou then spoke, "Donāt you think the question he asked earlier was a bit odd?"
"A bit!"
Xian Si nodded, knowing well that Chen Xuan wasnāt one to meddle in othersā affairs.
Why suddenly ask about the Ancient King?
"Alright, enough thinking, thereās definitely no malice behind it."
"Mm!"
Gu Pengyou trusted but was deeply puzzled.
What changes did second uncle have after becoming Ancient King?
"Should we ask father?"
...
In the grand hall.
Chen Xuan sat in the chair, holding his chin.
He fell into deep thought.
After a long time, a pair of jade hands rested on his shoulders and gently massaged them.
"Thank you, my husband!"
Ning Xin was very moved.
Today, Chen Xuan instructed her to take care of Lan MengāEr without making an appearance.
He didnāt tell her why.
It wasnāt until she overheard the conversation between Southern King and them that she understood everything.
She realized everything heās done recently was for her.
Though theyāre husband and wife, the risk he took this time deeply touched her.
"Between a couple, thereās no need to say such things. It should be fine now."
Chen Xuan patted her hand.
Though this incident thoroughly offended the Southern King, it didnāt matter anymore.
After all, knowing the truth means he wouldnāt spare them anyway.
Might as well break ties completely.
With the status of Prince Xuan, no matter how bold the Southern King is, he wouldnāt dare act rashly against him.
"However... rebuilding the Ning Family is not feasible for now, youāll have to wait a bit longer."
After all, his current strength isnāt sufficient.
For rebuilding the Ning Family, it would have to wait until he emerges from the Burial Ground.
"No rush, this is good already."
Ning Xin understood the situation.
Rebuilding the Ning Family now would be too perilous.
Besides, in her heart, how could the Ning Family compare to Chen Xuan.
As long as Chen Xuan is fine, sheād be willing to live this way forever.
As for Ning Family... let it be!
"Rest assured, what Iāve promised you, Iāll definitely accomplish, itās only a matter of time."
...
Pang Family.
"Father, it was too dangerous this time, last thing I expected was the Southern King showing up."
Pang Yun expressed a look of lingering fear.
Even though Pang Sida was protected by the Profound Yellow Tower, he was only at Half-Step Dao Realm, and the difference in power was too great.
If Jing Shishu hadnāt appeared at the last moment, if the Southern King decided to move against them, even with the Profound Yellow Tower, they would have died!
"What thing comes without risk?"
Pang Sida had a calm demeanor.
"In any case, at least the result was good. Now, in the entire Molan Mansion, itās just our Pang Family thatās connected to this Prince Xuan."
"Moreover..."
"This Prince Xuan isnāt ordinary. Just being able to invite the Grand Commander of the Dragon Guard, whether itās Qin Yingās favor or something else, it proves his future is boundless."
"This time, our Pang Family has profited!"
Although the Imperial Capital Pang Family asked him to associate with Chen Xuan, initially he was just complying.
Now, heās truly grateful he made a move.
Establishing ties with Chen Xuan, without relying on the awe of the Imperial Capital Pang Family, henceforth, no one in Molan Mansion will dare move against the Pang Family.
In fact... by relying on their strength, they could re-enter Imperial City.
Wash away the shame of their lineage back in those days.
Of course, this is merely his thought, the key is whether their Pang Family can hold onto Chen Xuanās support.
"Indeed!"
Pang Yun instantly smiled.
"Father, you should have seen their expressions, truly colorful."
The families regretted, to a man.
But... thereās no medicine for regret in this world.
"Alright, take care of yourself, donāt worry about others!"
Pang Sida admonished.
At times like this, itās crucial to remain low-key and cautious, taking nothing for granted.
"In a few days, Iāll pay a visit to Prince Xuan, you should come along."
A few days remain before Emperor Yuās deadline for Southern King, during which he probably wonāt have time to meet.
Wait until then to proceed.
"Perfect, in a few days, the elixirs from Imperial City will arrive, we can bring them along as a gift to Prince Xuan!"
"Not this time, find a suitable occasion later."
