Goddess Atlas, Starting from the Queen

Chapter 171 We've come to pay homage to Immortal Lu
Hearing the coachman's words, Su Wanyun became even more vigilant, and without hesitation, she placed her hand on the sword beside her.

This road leads directly to the Lu family manor. The manor is located at the end of the road. Under normal circumstances, apart from the carriages of the Prince of Xiaoyao's manor, no other carriages pass through this road.

Of course, a few days ago, the Prince of Xiaoyao's mansion was building a brewery, so there were horse-drawn carriages to transport goods. However, the brewery and perfume workshop have been completed in the past two days, so there shouldn't be any horse-drawn carriages to transport goods.

As the person in charge of managing the business of the Prince Xiaoyao's Mansion, Su Wanyun knew very well that the mansion's carriages should not be appearing on this road at this time.

Since it wasn't a carriage from the Prince's residence, it meant that outsiders had come here, which made Su Wanyun more vigilant.

Su Wanyun wasn't sure if the other party was after the Lu family estate or her, but either way, she had to be careful.

Su Wanyun gripped her sword tightly and then got off the carriage.

As she stepped down from the carriage, the woman in the opposite carriage also stepped down.

Su Wanyun glanced at the woman. The woman was dressed in white with a belt around her waist, which accentuated her curves, showed off her slender waist, and highlighted her hips and perfect figure.

Her skin was like solidified cream, her bones were like ice and jade, her appearance was stunning, and her temperament was aloof. She looked like a fairy descended from heaven.

Even though Su Wanyun was a woman, she was slightly distracted by the woman's appearance and temperament.

Su Wanyun couldn't help but think, "What a beautiful woman, almost unreal."

Su Wanyun asked directly, "Miss, have you taken the wrong road?"

"This road leads to Lufu Village."

Su Wanyun didn't know the woman's background, but she didn't lower her guard just because she was pretty.

She vaguely sensed that the woman's aura was stronger than her own, clearly indicating that she was a martial artist, and her strength was likely greater than her own.

Su Wanyun had never heard of such a young and beautiful female martial artist in the capital.

The woman did not answer Su Wanyun's question. The next moment, a woman dressed in a purple cloud-patterned dress stepped down from the carriage. The woman was extremely beautiful and looked dignified, noble, and graceful.

The moment Su Wanyun saw this woman, she felt a strong sense of familiarity, as if she had seen her somewhere before.

Lin Yingqiu asked with a smile, "Miss Su, do you remember me?"

Upon hearing this question, Su Wanyun tried hard to recall. She felt that the woman looked somewhat familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen her before.

Seeing that Su Wanyun didn't seem to remember her, Lin Yingqiu took the initiative to remind her, "When Immortal Lu passed away, we stayed at the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion for a while."

Upon hearing Lin Yingqiu's reminder, Su Wanyun instantly remembered that when the old Xiaoyao King passed away, many people from the martial arts world attended his funeral, including a force called Yuehua Palace.

Unlike other martial arts factions, Yuehua Palace stayed at the Xiaoyao King's Mansion during the time they attended the funeral of the old Xiaoyao King.

The Moonflower Palace and the Carefree Prince's Mansion have some connection. The former palace master of the Moonflower Palace was the wife of the old Carefree Prince, who was also the biological mother of Lu Ming and his two brothers.

Because of this relationship, the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion gave special consideration to the Yuehua Palace at that time, and even allowed the people of the Yuehua Palace to live in the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion.

Su Wanyun had met Lin Yingqiu and Chen Qingying around that time, which is why they looked somewhat familiar when she saw them just now.

Upon seeing that they were from the Moonflower Palace, Su Wanyun was puzzled. Since the funeral of the old Prince Xiaoyao, no one from the Moonflower Palace had ever visited the Prince Xiaoyao's residence. Not to mention the Prince Xiaoyao's residence, she had never even heard of anyone from the Moonflower Palace visiting the capital in recent years. Su Wanyun looked at Chen Qingying and said, "So it's you. Then this must be the Palace Master of the Moonflower Palace?"

Chen Qingying gave a curt "hmm".

Su Wanyun then asked, "What brings you here?"

Lin Yingqiu replied, "We have come to pay homage to the Immortal Lu."

This……

To pay homage to the old carefree king?
This doesn't seem to have anything to do with Yuehua Palace, does it?

Although the former palace mistress of Yuehua Palace was the wife of the old Xiaoyao King, she was already dead. It was normal for Yuehua Palace to come and offer condolences when the old Xiaoyao King passed away, given his status.

However, after the old Xiaoyao King was buried, the Xiaoyao King's Mansion and the Yuehua Palace had no connection anymore, or rather, the old Xiaoyao King and the Yuehua Palace had no connection anymore. Why would the Yuehua Palace come to worship the old Xiaoyao King?
If we are to offer sacrifices, we are to offer sacrifices to the former palace master of Yuehua Palace, Lu Ming and the others' mother.

Oh, that's right. Lu Ming's mother is also buried in the Lu family estate. If you want to pay respects, you also need to come to the Lu family estate.

Thinking of this, Su Wanyun said, "I see. How long will you be staying in the capital? Have you decided on your accommodation?"

Since Yuehua Palace is considered to be Lu Ming's mother's family, the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion should provide appropriate accommodations. Su Wanyun plans to ask Lu Ming for his opinion after returning home, and then prepare accommodations for these people.

Lin Yingqiu said, "It may take some time, and we haven't decided on a place to stay yet."

Su Wanyun said, "I will go back now and tell Prince Xiaoyao that you have come to the capital."

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Wanyun turned around and returned to the carriage. She then instructed the driver to stop the carriage on the side of the road to make way for the Yuehua Palace's convoy. After the driver stopped the carriage on the side of the road, the Yuehua Palace's convoy slowly headed towards the Lu residence.

After avoiding the Yuehua Palace's convoy, Su Wanyun instructed the driver to speed up and return to Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion as soon as possible.

While it's understandable that Yuehua Palace came to pay respects to Lu Ming's mother, it was, after all, on Lu's estate, so Lu Ming needed to be informed of this as soon as possible.

Given all the events that have occurred at Lu Manor recently, it's uncertain whether the Yuehua Palace's visit to Lu Manor is truly to pay respects to the late Xiaoyao King and Lu Ming's mother.

Of course, Su Wanyun did not believe that the Palace Master of Yuehua Palace had come to the Lu family manor in person to steal the Lu family's brewing and perfume making methods. For a super power like Yuehua Palace, they were not short of money.

Moreover, it would be too disgraceful for the palace master of a super power to personally come and steal things, so it is highly likely that Yuehua Palace came to Lufu with other purposes.

……

Although Su Wanyun had instructed the driver to speed up the journey, it was still evening when they returned to the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion.

After getting off the carriage, Su Wanyun hurriedly entered the Prince's mansion and went to Lu Ming's courtyard to ask the maid, "Where is the King?"

When Su Wanyun returned, Lu Ming's personal maid was taken aback. She was about to say that Lu Ming had gone to Xiao Qingyun's courtyard, but then she remembered what had happened between Lu Ming and Xiao Qingyun, so she quickly said, "His Majesty should be cultivating in his study."

Without saying a word, Su Wanyun went to the study to find Lu Ming.

When she arrived at the study, she still couldn't find Lu Ming.
