This is not how immortals cultivate

Chapter 413 Don't underestimate the young, don't underestimate the middle-aged, don't underestimate the elderly. Why haven't we arrived at Hexi yet?

The valor of the Overlord needs no further explanation; his might shook the world, unparalleled throughout history, and possessed a remarkable numerical beauty.

The way they died was truly gruesome!
There's nothing wrong with talking about Xiang Yu alone, and it's also okay to talk about Western Chu alone, but putting Xiang Yu and Western Chu together...

Xiang Yuan touched his neck, then his arms and legs. He knew this joke wouldn't work in the Qianyuan Realm, but he still couldn't help feeling a little scared.

What if!
“Lingyue, the title ‘Ba’ doesn’t match my humble, kind, and gentle gentlemanly demeanor. Is there any possibility that it’s not too late to change my title?” Xiang Yuan asked with a dark face.

Xiao Lingyue didn't say anything, but rolled her eyes at Xiang Yuan.

Chun Nei Ren is humble, kind, gentle, and refined. This birth chart has absolutely nothing to do with Xiang Yuan. Moreover, she changes it just because she doesn't like it. Isn't that a pretty domineering move?

One should have self-awareness!

Xiao Lingyue told Xiang Yuan not to overthink things. The news had already spread. If the capital were to retract its order and give a new title now, wouldn't the Xiao family have no face left?
"The king of a different surname is already shameless enough, what's wrong with being a little more shameless?" Xiang Yuan muttered to himself. He felt that there shouldn't be a big problem, and it should be feasible.

The title of Overlord is directly related to the destruction of Baiyun and Wangjian Manors and the annexation of their assets by Tianzong. According to Xiang Yuan, Baiyun Manor is the stronghold of the demon race, and Wangjian Manor is a descendant of the Zhou dynasty. They are a major hidden danger to the Western Chu, the Three Kingdoms, and even the human race of Qianyuan Realm. They must be dealt with severely and resolutely.

Because it was only one person's account, and there was no way to verify it after the death, the Xiao family of Shendu saw it as a different version.

After Xiang Yuan gained the approval of the Heavenly Sect as the young sect leader, only the Jing Prince's Mansion remained in front of the Zhao Prince's Mansion. The supporters behind Prince Jing, Xiao Ning, were Baiyun Manor and Wangjian Manor.

Then the sect leader and the young sect leader visited and had a friendly meeting with the two families.

Afterwards, both manors were destroyed and became the remnants of the demon race and Zhou.

Such an overbearing move is beyond the reach of any other title, and no other title is worthy of it. The title of Overlord of Western Chu is perfectly fitting.

After listening to Xiao Lingyue's story, Xiang Yuan was even more speechless: "These days, no one believes the truth. When will honest people ever get their chance to rise in the world... Lingyue, you've seen it yourself. I'm often misunderstood, and I can't explain myself no matter how hard I try. In the future, if you misunderstand me, you must give me a chance to explain."

Nobody's going to listen to your sophistry!

Xiang Yuan's approach was ineffective against Xiao Lingyue, who had a strong family tradition of learning. Not only did it fail, it also reminded Xiao Lingyue, who pointed to the blue phoenix hanging in the sky: "Where did Master obtain this spirit beast? I didn't see it last time."

"That's a question as if I definitely know the answer..."

Xiang Yuan grumbled in dissatisfaction, while Xiao Lingyue spoke in a serious yet sarcastic tone, clearly implying that he and Bai Wuyan were having an affair.

This is outrageous! How could you doubt your master and husband? You must trust them.

"Stop talking nonsense and tell the truth!"

"That's how it is..."

When Xiang Yuan explained the origin of the Azure Phoenix, Xiao Lingyue immediately said, "Master's mount is Master's mount, it has nothing to do with you. Don't let me see you riding on the Azure Phoenix."

"..."

What does that mean? Does it mean you absolutely cannot ride it, or that you can't ride it in front of others?

Are you referring to the Azure Phoenix, or your master?
The knowledge of Prince Zhao's household is too profound. Madam, could you please explain yourself more clearly?

Xiang Yuan thought to himself, "Prejudice in people's hearts is a mountain. Ever since Chan'er, Xiao Lingyue's prejudice against him has grown day by day. No matter how hard he tries, he can't move this mountain."

Xiang Yuan was full of complaints, but...

What else can we do but get a divorce? He'll just have to suffer a little and live like this!
After leaving the mountaintop, Xiao Lingyue clung tightly to Xiang Yuan's arm the whole way, but deliberately took back paths like a thief.

They were afraid their fellow disciples would see it, and they were also afraid their master wouldn't see it.

Once they reached the mountainside and arrived at their own secluded courtyard, Xiao Lingyue finally breathed a sigh of relief and let go of Xiang Yuan's arm.

Xiao Lingyue went through the door and climbed over the wall to the distance.

Once inside, Xiao Lingyue immediately began dual cultivation. Those who knew her would understand that she was practicing dual cultivation, but those who didn't would think she was asserting her dominance!

After the matter was over, Xiao Lingyue sat in front of the mirror. Since there had been no unexpected events, such as a hand suddenly reaching out and forcibly abducting her husband, her depressed mood improved considerably.

Xiang Yuan held a wooden comb in her hand and lowered her head to say, "Lingyue, have you ever thought about changing your hairstyle, like your mother's?"

Xiao Lingyue blushed slightly as she looked at herself in the mirror, waiting to be dressed. After a moment of serious deliberation, she finally chose the same hairstyle and makeup as before.

I'm not married yet, it's so embarrassing to be asked about it.

"The Prince Zhao's residence has moved to the capital..."

Xiao Lingyue enjoyed Xiang Yuan's meticulous care and recounted her experiences over the past few days. She then made a sarcastic remark, mentioning that some people had disappeared for several days but were somehow found by her at Wushuang Palace.

It was purely by chance, such a coincidence!

Xiang Yuan remained silent, not bothering to deny that he had been treating Bai Wuyan's injuries these past few days. If he were questioned about the treatment process, how could he continue to deny it?

I do odd jobs outside to supplement my family's income.

However, it's too easy to cause misunderstandings.

Upon hearing about the current situation of Prince Zhao's residence, Xiang Yuan sighed with admiration that her father had become successful.

Regardless of what happens, Xiao Yan, with the support of Tianzong, Huangquandao, Jianxinzhai, Wushuanggong, Dajuesi, Benxindao, Tai'an Liushi, and Shendu Xiaoshi, will inevitably become emperor.

Anyone who dares to disagree will be the first to stand up and oppose it!

With the power behind Xiao Yan, the elders of the Xiao clan wouldn't be able to sleep soundly unless he came to the capital to become emperor.

When Xiao Yan became the Prince of Zhao, his family was in chaos for a while. With more people, there were more mouths to feed, and naturally, more pots to cook. They had to sit in rows and share the fruit, and take care of everyone in every aspect. It was far from the simple situation that outsiders thought, where "when one person attains enlightenment, even his chickens and dogs ascend to heaven."

At that time, Xiao Qian contributed the most and was the eldest son, so everyone accepted him as the heir apparent.

Even if you disagree, you have to keep it to yourself; he's really something.

This time, Xiao Qian was unable to continue and was carried into the palace along with Xiao Yan. No one was satisfied with him becoming the crown prince.

The person who contributed the most to Xiao Yan's ascension to the throne was Xiang Yuan. Because of his wisdom and courage, there was never any talk of his merits overshadowing the emperor. He truly deserved the title of overlord, and no one dared to bring it up because he was not of the same surname.

Xiang Yuan's surname is not Xiao. He has already reached the pinnacle of being a king, and no one assumes that he wants to be the crown prince. Everyone thinks that such a possibility is impossible.

Let alone the young sect master of the Heavenly Sect, even the Left Envoy of the Yellow Springs Path has more prestige than the Crown Prince!

Xiao Lingyue had said before that the death of an emperor was no big deal, and that a new one could be replaced.

If the emperor is like this, one can only imagine how the crown prince must feel.

It's really beneath Xiang Yuan to be the Crown Prince of Western Chu with all these titles.

Therefore, Xiang Yuan holds the most shares, but no one really thinks he would condescend to do so. Looking at the current shares of the Zhaowang Mansion, although Xiao Qian's original shares have been diluted a lot, he is still the Crown Prince's obvious choice.

Currently, there are only two people qualified to compete with Xiao Qian.

Xiao He.

Xiao Dong.

"???"

A series of question marks flashed across Xiang Yuan's forehead. He raised his hand to interrupt, "Ling Yue, may I interject? What merits do these two brilliant and promising talents possess that they are qualified to compete with Xiao Qian for the position of Crown Prince?"

"Sleeping Dragon and Young Phoenix" are complimentary terms, referring to outstanding talents, but Xiang Yuan's sarcastic tone sounded like he was insulting someone, which made Xiao Lingyue say irritably, "Don't talk about my brother like that. Others may not know, but don't you know him well?"

"It's because I understand him too well..."

Xiang Yuan looked serious. Xiao He didn't look like a crown prince in his yellow robe, and the fact that the Zhao Prince's Mansion was in its current state had nothing to do with Xiao He, who had been wandering around outside.

“How can it be alright? Your brother recommended you to Father.”

"..."

That makes sense!

Xiang Yuan was completely convinced and couldn't find any reason to refute it. Xiao He's contribution to Xiao Yan becoming emperor was immense and could be considered the greatest.

Xiao Lingyue continued, "Regarding whether to choose the eldest son or the most virtuous..."

Xiang Yuan interrupted again, continuing to chime in: "Li Xian and all that... Ling Yue, don't glare at me. I've always been honest and like to speak the truth. My brother is quite disliked."

"How is it unwise of my brother to recommend you to Father?"

"..."

Xiang Yuan rolled his eyes and admitted defeat, "Fine, brother, you have a keen eye for talent and a plan that goes far ahead. You are truly wise. I can't find any fault with you, and I shouldn't have spoken ill of you in front of you. As for Xiao Dong, does that kid deserve to be called wise?"

It wasn't that Xiang Yuan looked down on Xiao Dong, but rather that the latter was just another person who didn't have any performance worthy of his respect.

Xiang Yuan had met Xiao Dong twice. The first time, Xiao Dong was arrogant and self-important. The second time, Xiao Dong fawned over Dajue Temple. Thinking about it now, it's laughable.

Compared to geniuses like Xiao He and Xiao Qian, who were precocious and set their life goals early on, Xiao Dong truly embodied the spirit of "never underestimate the poor in youth, middle age, or old age, and why haven't we arrived at Hexi yet?"

There's absolutely no wisdom to speak of.

When Xiao Dong became the crown prince, Xiang Yuan was the first to stand up and oppose it.

He put in so much effort to elevate Xiao Yan to the throne, not to make Xiao Dong the crown prince.

Xiang Yuan's first choice for the crown prince was Xiao He. They were brothers, and while they might joke around, when there were benefits, he would definitely put his own people first. Even if Xiao He didn't really have the ability, if Xiang Yuan raised his arm, the young sect master of Tianzong, the left envoy of Huangquandao, the heirloom of Wushuang Palace, and the treasure of Jianxinzhai would all be able to elevate Xiao He.

It's just like praising Xiao Yan. If they say you're good, you're good; even if you say you're not, you're still good!
The second choice was Xiao Qian, a fair-skinned, plump man as gentle as jade, a wise choice for a ruler. Xiang Yuan had a good impression of him, and if it weren't for his brother-in-law Xiao He being so close, he would have wholeheartedly supported him.

Xiao Dong...

What a mess! They've actually been included in the candidate list. The Xiao family of Shendu is truly a makeshift operation.

Hearing Xiang Yuan's disdainful remarks, Xiao Lingyue inwardly agreed but did not express it, saying, "The reason Xiao Dong is considered virtuous is because he sought out Dajue Temple, and Dajue Temple even subtly expressed its willingness to support him in becoming the crown prince."

"Oh, is that so? Please tell me more about it, Madam."

Xiang Yuan raised an eyebrow. He had already found it strange that Dajue Temple had entered the fray. He had scoffed at Lingxiu's answer about spreading the scriptures throughout the world, and now that it had joined the struggle for the crown prince, the problem was even greater.

Furthermore, if the real goal is to win the crown prince position, wouldn't it be better to invest in Xiao Qian? What's the point of investing in Xiao Dong?

Is he more likely to be controlled than Xiao Qian because he is ambitious but incompetent, reckless, and greedy?
Thinking about it this way, Xiang Yuan felt that Dajue Temple was also a pawn of the mastermind behind the scenes. When one plan failed, they came up with another, determined to tear Western Chu apart.

Xiao Lingyue didn't understand why Dajue Temple supported Xiao Dong, and she also felt it was very unreasonable. She recounted what she had seen and heard in the Zhaowang Mansion and the Imperial Palace in the past few days. Because Dajue Temple spoke up and others remained silent, Xiao Dong's support was quite strong.

Xiao Lingyue had no interest in external voices; she only cared about the voices within the Zhaowang Mansion. Xiao Yan had many adopted sons who were not up to par and were very close to Xiao Dong. These people were not well received by Xiao Qian, so they clung to Xiao Dong's coattails and ran around in the name of the new emperor's adopted sons, securing a lot of sponsorship for Xiao Dong in the capital.

"Those with ability keep quiet, while those without ability just jump around aimlessly, like clowns..."

Xiang Yuan already had a so-so impression of Xiao Dong, and now he disliked him even more. He raised an eyebrow at Xiao Lingyue and pulled his wife onto his lap: "What did your brother-in-law say? Is he interested in becoming the crown prince?"

Xiao Lingyue shook her head. She had asked Xiao He, who frankly said that he preferred the Six Right Divisions of the Capital Region, especially the Imperial City Division, to the Crown Prince or the Emperor. He had wanted to be the leader of the undercover agents for quite some time.

Xiang Yuan nodded slightly. He had asked Xiao He before and was told that Xiao He couldn't stay idle and wasn't destined to sit in an office.

This silly dog ​​is a typical husky. If you don't let it roam outside and exhaust its energy, it will definitely tear the house apart.

Moreover, Xiang Yuan also knew that Xiao He had become involved with Ji Wuzhou because of his previous infiltration of the Heavenly Blade Sect. Po Shanban greatly admired him and had the idea of ​​recruiting him to work for the Heavenly Blade Sect.

Compared to this, the position of crown prince held even less appeal for Xiao He.

"So, has Madam ever thought about what our child might be like someday..." Xiang Yuan whispered in Xiao Lingyue's ear. He had no intention of becoming emperor, but the idea of ​​Empress Dowager Xiao sounded very interesting.

They clearly have ill intentions!

Xiao Lingyue spat lightly, and with a straight face, spoke of the vastness of the three thousand worlds and the grandeur of the universe, all profound principles, without pointing out Xiang Yuan's ill intentions.

"Never mind then, as long as it's not Xiao Dong, anyone is fine."

Xiang Yuan shrugged, took Xiao Lingyue with him, and teleported to the capital. They arrived at the palace in one step, and after a brief moment of sensing, Xiang Yuan's face immediately darkened.

The original intention was to find Xiao He, but instead of Xiao He, they saw Xiao Yan sneaking around.

Although the new emperor has not yet ascended the throne, the news has already been released. On an auspicious day, Xiao Yan will be able to formally sit on the dragon throne.

Logically speaking, Xiao Yan's current home is the imperial palace, so he wouldn't act like a thief in his own home. However, if he were to appear in the deep courtyards of the inner palace, a place almost isolated from the world, where the widows of the former emperor, such as the former empress or imperial concubines, lived, he should indeed keep a low profile.

Whether it was the empresses who were unwilling to be mediocre and were charitable, or Xiao Yan who had mistakenly entered this place and was generous with his money, Xiang Yuan did not comment, but turned around and conveyed what he had seen and heard to Xiao Lingyue.

See? Your husband is really good; at least he doesn't associate with shady women.

With Xiao Yan as a textbook example of what not to do, Xiang Yuan unconsciously straightened his back.

Xiao Lingyue raised her hand to her forehead, looking ashamed, and then used telepathy to inform Cheng Yuling of Xiao Yan's whereabouts before pulling Xiang Yuan away from the palace.

"Let's take a look around first, it's not like we're short of time..."

Xiang Yuan secretly regretted that Xiao Lingyue had dragged him out of the palace, but his mind was still on Xiao Yan. He said happily, "The Crown Prince is very important. All the officials are watching. The Empress is also very important. Has your mother ever told you that she wants to be the Empress?"

As everyone knows, the Prince Zhao's mansion has nine princesses, and they are all treated equally, with none of them being more noble than the others.

After becoming emperor, it became difficult for Xiao Yan to treat all his consorts equally. As emperor, he was still under the command of the Xiao clan. With a group of white-bearded old men standing up, Xiao Yan had no choice but to comply. He was determined to choose one of his nine consorts to be the empress.

Xiao Lingyue's eye twitched, and she turned her head to look elsewhere.

Xiang Yuan could tell at a glance that Cheng Yuling not only had ideas but also put them into action. He told Xiao Lingyue about it, but Xiao Lingyue didn't want to get involved in her family's messy affairs or let Xiang Yuan get involved, so she didn't say anything.

“Lingyue, you can’t do this. As children, we should be filial. Since Mother has this idea, we should…”

"Hmph, you don't only have one mother-in-law!"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Xiang Yuan fell silent, preoccupied with grinning and enjoying the spectacle, forgetting that he still had a mother-in-law, Chen Qiaofeng, in the Prince Zhao's residence—no, in the palace.

Once Cheng Yuling becomes Empress, she'll definitely be visiting everyone all the time, calling everyone "little sister" and asking how beautiful her phoenix crown is.

Then Chen Qiaofeng will be very depressed. Xiao Lingyan, who also has a princess marriage agreement, will lose face and, feeling sorry for herself, will sooner or later develop Yu Yu syndrome.

This wasn't Cheng Yuling slapping the mother and daughter in the face; it was clearly him attacking someone else.

The waters of Prince Zhao's mansion were indeed deep; without careful planning, he too became part of the fun.

"Speak! Are you mute?"

"There's nothing to say. Since Mother has her own ideas, we, as her children, should go along with them," Xiang Yuan said, his expression unchanged.

"What about Lingyan?"

Xiao Lingyue sighed, feeling sorry for Xiao Lingyan, and said something about how she had met the wrong person: "It's not a good feeling to be ignored. My sister is heartbroken and has to force a smile for you. How pitiful!"

Uh, isn't she your sister?
Let's rein in this and not bring the improper practices of Prince Zhao's residence into Prince Ba's residence.

Xiang Yuan was speechless. Cheng Yuling was not only his mother-in-law, but also the mother of his sworn brother, and someone he willingly called "Mother." In terms of closeness, she was far superior to Chen Qiaofeng. This question was not difficult to answer.

Xiang Yuan still keeps the clothes that Cheng Yuling sewed by hand!
Even if we take a step back, she is Bai Gongzhu's disciple, Xiao Lingyue's senior sister, and family in every sense of the word.

Hearing Xiang Yuan insist on his opinion, Xiao Lingyue's lips curled up slightly. She turned her head to the side and whispered, "Don't meddle in family matters. The more you meddle, the more chaotic things will become. I know what you're thinking."

"Then Mother..."

"With you, the Hegemon of Western Chu, here, the Xiao clan will not allow anyone else to become empress." Xiao Lingyue's words were concise and to the point; reality was that simple.

Even so, Xiang Yuan's attitude still pleased her. She didn't talk about herself, but only said that her mother hadn't spoiled Xiang Yuan for nothing.

The two strolled around the main street of the capital for a while, and Xiang Yuan suddenly realized something. His divine sense confirmed his suspicions.

"Let's go, dinner is all set for tonight."

Yangxin Mountain Villa, on the outskirts of the capital.

Inside the courtyard, two people, one white and one black, one handsome and one ugly, were having a barbecue.

Xiao He.

Xu Jixian.

"The beef and mutton in the capital are delicious, but it's a pity there are no mushrooms. Those would be a unique flavor. I still prefer the southern border," Xu Jixian said, clicking his tongue.

"That's easy. I'll go back and find someone to give you a pass. From now on, you can go wherever you want." Xiao He waved his hand. Things are different now. He can handle such a small matter.

What, it won't work?

You wait, Xiao's second brother Xiang Yuan will come and tell you to prepare a few more chairs, otherwise there won't be enough room for so many people.

Upon hearing this, Old Ma's face darkened even more. He looked Xiao He up and down, never imagining that this guy would one day move his home into the palace.

The thought of Xiao He becoming a prince, and possibly even the crown prince or the emperor, immediately made the barbecue in his hand lose its appeal.

Xiao He chuckled strangely and winked, saying, "Brother Xu, I, the prince, have granted you your freedom. You should kneel down and thank me profusely."

You are dreaming!
Xu Jixian grunted twice, shakily picked up his wine cup to moisten his throat, and glanced at the back of the courtyard: "I'm a man with a family now, unlike before, when I could go wherever I wanted..."

As he spoke, he sighed and lamented that Xiao He had become a completely different person after getting married, and that he should not come to him again if he ever had any more low-class interests like visiting brothels.

Get married! Remain chaste! Thank you for the invitation!

Shameless bastard! Is that what you call chastity? If you're so capable, then speak without your hands shaking!
Xiao He looked at him with disdain. He would not tolerate Xu Jixian and always exposed such shameless people to their faces.

Xu Jixian wasn't annoyed when he heard this. Looking at Xiao He, who was spouting nonsense, he scratched his head honestly and said, "It's fine that there are no mushrooms today, but it's also not Brother Xiao Yuan here. This is truly one of the two biggest regrets in my life."

"Don't mention that name, it's unlucky!"

Xiao He's face instantly turned even darker than Xu Jixian's. He began to hurl profanities and curse, and by the end, his eyes were red.

No other reason than that my sister was taken advantage of by a pig!
Xu Jixian's old face became even more honest, and he asked in confusion, "Brother Xiao, Brother Xiao Yuan is your sworn brother, why are you greeting him with such foul language? What did he do to offend you?"

"Oh, you shameless thing! Believe me or not, I'll have someone write a note right now to send you back to Dezhou, and then write another note to find good families for all these widows in the courtyard to marry off!" Xiao He was furious.

Deceiving too much!

Xu Jixian was furious and denounced Xiao He for bullying the weak and fearing the strong, saying that he had failed to protect his sister and then bullied him, an honest man.

Xiao He became even angrier.

As soon as Xiang Yuan entered the room, he saw Xiao He beating Xu Jixian.

Xiao Lingyue: (_)
If she had been told it was this kind of dinner party earlier, she wouldn't have come.

Xiao Lingyue had no good feelings towards Xiang Yuan's cronies, even though her own brother Xiao He was among them. She rolled her eyes at Xiang Yuan and turned to leave.

I've told you so many times, don't associate with these kinds of people, they're the ones who corrupted you!

"Brother Xiaoyuan, save me!"

Xu Jixian lay on the ground, reaching out his hand for help. He took a deep breath and used the last bit of strength: "Brother Xiao, stop making trouble. Brother Xiao Yuan brought his wife here. We can't embarrass him."

"You bastard, I'll kill you today!"

Xiao He was filled with grief and indignation. He stared at Xiang Yuan and shouted that he would perish together with Xu Jixian.

"Hey hey hey..."

Xiang Yuan rubbed his hands together and stepped forward, enjoying the ready-made barbecue while watching the dogs fight.

"Without mushrooms, it's not quite right."

……

The camera then pans to a distant view of mushrooms from southern Xinjiang, which are colorful and look very vibrant.

Relying on his immune system, he never ate anything he wanted. He believed in sharing his enjoyment, so he stuffed two strings of half-cooked mushrooms into Xiao He and Xu Jixian's hands.

No matter how old you are, as long as there's food, that's fine. Don't be picky.

"..." x2
It's not that you can't eat it! x2
Xiang Yuan and Xu Jixian ate and chatted by the barbecue grill, the air filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

Xiao He was nowhere to be seen. While staring at Xiang Yuan, he gritted his teeth and ate his barbecue, saying sarcastically, "Oh, isn't this Prince Xiang? Why aren't you enjoying your blessings at your palace? What are you doing at Yangxin Manor? Brother Xu, don't you have a sister?"

"Ah, I even have a royal residence now?" Xiang Yuan asked in surprise.

Xiao Lingyue didn't mention this at all.

"Not only that, there are two royal residences, one in Shendu and the other in Zhen Dian Prefecture."

Xiao He grumbled on the story, saying that the imperial palace in the capital was nothing special and not worth mentioning, but the Overlord's Mansion in Zhen Dian Prefecture on Guanshan Road was quite remarkable.

The original Prince Zhao's Mansion was renovated and a new plaque was hung up. From then on, it became Xiang Yuan's Overlord Mansion.

The previous owner of the Prince Zhao's Mansion was the new emperor, and in principle, they should avoid suspicion, so the mansion should remain empty for at least a hundred or two hundred years.

However, Xiao Feng, a master of the Xiao clan who wished to remain anonymous, said that returning home in glory is like wearing fine clothes at night. Xiang Yuan was from Dezhou, and his royal residence had to be located on Guanshan Road, which was close to the Southern Frontier and Tianzong, making it convenient for him to stroll around the doorsteps of his fellow villagers.

The Prince Zhao's Mansion is the largest royal mansion in Guanshan Road, which perfectly reflects the overlord's temperament of either not having anything at all or having the best.

As for avoiding suspicion...

There's no need to avoid it; as long as the overlord doesn't mind, that's fine.

"Xiao Feng is still as reliable as ever..."

Xiang Yuan nodded upon hearing this. The Prince Zhao's residence was indeed very large, especially the backyard. Renovating it wouldn't be a bad idea...

Wait a minute, this will turn into Prince Zhao's residence again!

"It's one thing for Prince Xiang not to enjoy the blessings at the Prince's residence, but why doesn't he even go to the imperial palace?"

Xiao He, with red eyes, said, "I heard that on the very first day the palace was put up, two princesses moved in, and people have already started calling them princesses."

"..."

No wonder Lingyue didn't mention this earlier!
