Chapter 577 - 373: Hunting Time!

"Ugh—"

Jiang Qi hesitated immediately, his gaze subtly glancing towards Shen Xuan’s direction.

"As expected!"

Ye Jinghong’s heart instantly sank.

He glared fiercely at Shen Xuan.

He had warned him so many times not to provoke Chen Xuan, yet he dared to come to Dark Moon to spy on his affairs.

It was obvious he had no good intentions.

If Chen Xuan were to find out about this... knowing his personality... he absolutely wouldn’t let it go.

His head started to throb instantly.

"This is your doing!"

Damn it, he really wanted to kick him back to the Imperial City right now to prevent him from causing trouble here.

Then he looked towards Jiang Qi, warning him, "Let’s pretend today’s events never happened. If a single word leaks out, don’t expect Dark Moon to do business in Molan Mansion."

Even though Dark Moon was spread throughout the Eastern Continent,

as the director of the Three Judicial Departments, he couldn’t control other places, but in Molan Mansion, he still had this capability.

"Rest assured, Lord Ye, today Jiang Qi hasn’t seen anyone."

After speaking, Jiang Qi immediately got up and walked toward the inner courtyard.

Just as Ye Jinghong had just said, treat this matter as if it never happened.

After all, whether it was the Three Judicial Departments or Prince Xuan, Dark Moon couldn’t afford to offend if it wanted to do business stably in Molan Mansion.

"Come with me, you’ll return to the Imperial City tomorrow."

Ye Jinghong looked coldly at Shen Xuan.

"Damn, those who don’t know might think you’re my father, you’re nosy!"

Shen Xuan felt quite displeased inside.

He had just come and was already meddling in his affairs.

"I’m not joking with you!"

Ye Jinghong’s expression was serious, "I’m very accurate with my instincts, you should know this. If you keep messing around, you won’t even be able to return to the Imperial City."

"Are you sure?"

Shen Xuan stopped his small thoughts and asked in a deep voice.

Because he was telling the truth and it had been verified many times before.

His instincts were indeed very accurate.

"No kidding! You’d better obediently return to the Imperial City."

Since the day Chen Xuan left, he had this feeling, especially today when Shen Xuan left the Three Judicial Departments, the feeling became particularly strong.

"He really dares to touch me?"

Shen Xuan squinted his eyes, mumbling.

"Let’s go, leaving Moran City as soon as possible is the right thing to do. Whether he dares or not, don’t gamble with your life."

"Mm!"

He nodded.

As the most outstanding disciple of this generation in the Shen Family, barring any accidents, the Shen Family would be his in the future.

One could say he would inevitably stand at the top of Great Yu in the future.

It wasn’t worth it for this kind of thing.

"Let’s go!"

The two left Dark Moon immediately.

Meanwhile, in the inner courtyard, Jiang Qi also breathed a sigh of relief.

These two troublemakers had finally left.

He wiped his forehead slightly.

His sleeves were soaked, showing just how nervous he had been.

"Ah!"

He let out a long sigh, thinking it was getting harder to make some money these days.

...

Prince Xuan’s Mansion.

Chen Xuan looked at the array.

"These two went to Dark Moon?"

That day when he left the Three Judicial Departments, he marked the light spot that was Shen Xuan’s.

As for Ye Jinghong, that was marked long ago.

"Went to Dark Moon for no reason!"

Chen Xuan began to ponder.

"Go take a look!"

Then his figure slowly vanished from the room.

At that moment, as Jiang Qi was relaxing and had just brewed tea, preparing to have a cup to ease his mind,

a figure suddenly appeared out of nowhere, sitting across from him.

"Clang!"

The white jade tea cup in his hand fell instantly, the emerald green tea steaming hotly flowed over the table.

"Greetings to Lord Xuan King."

Finally, Jiang Qi snapped back to reality, immediately stood up, and cupped his fists in salute.

"Sit, no need to be nervous."

Chen Xuan extended a hand, smiling.

"Thank you, Lord Xuan King."

Jiang Qi replied, which allowed him to sit down slowly.

Looking at Chen Xuan across from him, despite the friendly smile on his face, he felt an inexplicable pressure.

"What a day today is."

He smiled bitterly inside.

Moran City’s two major powerhouses came to Dark Moon, one after another.

Suppressing the tension in his heart, he respectfully asked, "I wonder what instructions Lord Xuan King has for coming to Dark Moon?"

"I want to ask you something."

Chen Xuan said lightly.

"Please speak, Lord Xuan King."

Jiang Qi felt a bit curious. Just like Ye Jinghong earlier, now this Prince Xuan was the same.

They were almost back to back.

"Why does it feel like it was planned?"

He couldn’t help but mutter inwardly.

"What did Ye Jinghong and the others do when they came here?"

As Chen Xuan’s words fell,

Jiang Qi’s face visibly changed, even becoming a bit dazed.

"This....."

"Can’t you say?"

Seeing his hesitation, the smile on Chen Xuan’s face also faded.

"No, no...."

Jiang Qi quickly said.

But he still didn’t speak immediately, feeling very conflicted inside.

He couldn’t afford to offend Chen Xuan, and similarly, Ye Jinghong was not someone he could offend either.

Chen Xuan noticed his concern and said, "You can go ahead and speak, don’t worry about Ye Jinghong, if anything happens, I’ll take responsibility."

Even though he said that,

at this moment, Jiang Qi truly felt his head was about to explode.

"Damn it, what’s really going on!"

Helpless and powerless, he thought to himself.

After all, Ye Jinghong had warned him before leaving.

But looking at Chen Xuan’s demeanor, if he didn’t say anything today... he really wouldn’t be able to get through this.

Thinking long and hard, he finally made up his mind.

Instantly, he spoke up.

"It was Lord Ye’s friend who came to Dark Moon first, asking about two things. One was about you, Prince Xuan, and the other was about the Southern King seeking Ning Family members in Molan Mansion."

Ultimately, Jiang Qi chose Chen Xuan.

After all, Chen Xuan’s strength was greater than Ye Jinghong’s; just this point was enough.

"Investigating me!?"

Chen Xuan’s face instantly grew cold.
