Traveling through the world of immortal cultivation, I became a role model of righteousness

Chapter 290 Ding Ru
After taking a look at the City Lord's Mansion behind them, Feng Jing and the others left with expressionless faces.

After asking someone randomly on the street, I found the largest inn in Annan City to stay.

Not long after Feng Jing and his group left, Xu Chengan called his men over.

"Uncle Master Xu, what do you want me to do?" An outer disciple of the Wanfa Sect stood respectfully in front of him.

Xu Chengan picked up the spiritual tea and took a sip. "Send someone to pay attention to Feng Jing and the others' movements. There's no need to follow them."

"Yes." After receiving the order, the disciple hurried away immediately.

But Xu Chengan still sat in the reception room, with no intention of moving.

At this time, a woman came in from outside.

"Husband." Ding Rulian took light steps and came to Xu Chengan.

"Ruru, you're here." Xu Cheng'an was not surprised by Ding Ru's arrival.

Ding Ru was his new concubine after he came to Nangan State, and she had been with him for seven years.

Xu Chengan was not too interested in beauty. If Ding Ru didn't look a bit like his first love, he wouldn't have accepted her.

"My dear, I heard that an immortal from the Wanfa Sect has come to the Imperial Master's Mansion. Do you need me to make some arrangements?"

Ding Ru asked softly.

Ding Ru is not a cultivator, but just a mortal with some good looks.

Since Xu Cheng'an came to Nan'an Kingdom, many dignitaries and nobles have presented him with beautiful women, but only she was kept.

At first, she also thought that she was different to Xu Chengan.

After following him, she realized that the reason she was kept was because Xu Chengan treated her as a substitute for his first love.

After knowing the truth, Ding Ru didn't feel too disappointed or sad.

She was originally a chess piece cultivated by the family. It was better for her to follow Xu Chengan than to follow other old men.

Xu Chengan has a high status and looks young.

The most important thing is, since following Xu Chengan, she has also eaten the magical rice that only immortals can eat, and taken the anti-aging pill to maintain eternal youth.

Although she will still die, she would rather remain young and beautiful when she has to leave one day in the future than die of old age.

In addition to eternal youth and beauty, there is also the legendary elixir of longevity that everyone dreams of.

That was what she wanted most, and Xu Chengan had promised to give her one in the future.

Compared with these benefits, whether Xu Chengan used her as a substitute is not so important.

"No, they don't live here." Xu Cheng'an shook his head, his tone was not warm.

From Xu Chengan's tone, Ding Ru also understood his attitude towards Feng Jing and his group.

Anyway, she has no right to interfere in the affairs between these immortal cultivators.

She just hopes Xu Chengan will always be well.

"By the way, have you been to the palace recently?" He suddenly asked, as if he had thought of something.

Ding Ru was a little surprised because Xu Chengan rarely asked about her whereabouts.

Although she didn't understand why he cared about this, she still answered honestly: "It is true. Three days ago, I went to the palace to see the Queen."

Queen Ding Xijun of Nannan Kingdom was her cousin.

My cousin is from the direct line of the Ding family and has been carefully brought up according to the standards of a queen since childhood.

As for her, Ding Ru was born out of wedlock. If she had not been favored by the main lineage because of her beauty, she would have been married off to who knows where.

She would not have the chance to appear in front of Xu Chengan.

Ever since Ding Ru became Xu Chengan's concubine, her status in the Ding family has also risen.

Although she is just a concubine, her husband is an immortal cultivator, and no one dares to look down on her.

Even her cousin's family, who are high and mighty, would be three points less imposing in front of her.

"Has anything special happened in the palace?" he continued to ask. "Special things..." Ding Ru frowned.

Confused, she asked, "What do you mean, husband?"

"It doesn't matter what it is, big or small, just tell me what you want to say."

“As for special events, it seems that nothing too special has happened in the palace these days.

If I have to say something, it's only about Concubine Chen being pregnant."

"Is Concubine Chen pregnant?" He really didn't know about this.

However, Xu Chengan always stays in the National Master's Mansion to practice and stabilize his injuries, and generally does not go out.

Apart from the country's annual large-scale celebrations, he would appear and participate in them. At other times, even the emperor could not see him even if he wanted to.

He never specifically inquired about the situations in the palace.

Of course, it was impossible for the people below to come and tell him such a trivial matter as which of the emperor's wives was pregnant.

"Yes, although it has not been made public yet, I heard that Concubine Chen is already two months pregnant, and the baby will be born in a few months."

Ding Ru said truthfully.

"Besides Concubine Chen's pregnancy, is there anything else happening in the palace?"

Ding Ru shook his head, "No more."

"Do you need me to go to the palace again? This time, I will pay close attention to what is happening around me and tell my husband when the time comes."

Since her husband has expressed his interest in the affairs of the palace, as his concubine, she must of course know how to do things.

Xu Chengan actually thought about whether he should let Ding Ru go again, but after thinking about it he shook his head.

“No need, I will go to the palace myself.

Don’t go to the palace again during this period, even if the queen sends someone to invite you, don’t go.”

If that spy from the Gui clan is really in the palace, it would be very dangerous for Ding Ru to enter the palace.

After all, she is his woman, and he likes her face, so he naturally doesn't want anything to happen to her.

"Yes, I know what to do." Ding Ru responded softly.

Xu Chengan looked towards the direction of the imperial palace.

It's time to go into the palace and take a look.

Although he was very sure in front of Feng Jing and the others that the spy from the Gui clan would never be in the palace or in the Kingdom of Nan'an.

But in fact, he was really unsure.

The reason why I don't want to admit it is that I don't want to cause trouble for myself.

Even if the spy from the Gui clan was caught, the credit would not be his. He didn't want to get involved in such a matter that would not benefit him.

However, just in case, he really had to go into the palace to check and make sure that the spy from the Gui clan was not in the palace before he could feel at ease.

……

"Damn it, what does Xu Chengan mean!
We made our purpose so clear, but not only did he not help us, he even wanted to drive us away!
I don't know if he is in league with that Gui clan spy, and he deliberately doesn't want us to catch that Gui clan spy!"

Hu Jie sat down with an unhappy look on his face.

Nine people have checked in at the largest inn in Annan City, and the nine rooms are connected.

Now they all gathered in Feng Jing's room to discuss countermeasures.

“He just wanted to keep to himself.

Xu Chengan is a person who never releases his eagle until he sees the rabbit.

He never meddles in matters that are not good for him." Guan Yang sneered.

"But this is about catching a spy from the Gui Clan. This is a big deal for the sect, and he doesn't even care about this big thing!"

Liu Mingzhou was puzzled. This was a big event for the sect. He was obviously also a disciple of the Wanfa Sect, so why did he just stand by and watch!
