Guan Yue knew that this was a sign of the principal's confidence. It indicated that he was fully capable of taking care of himself!
In the Principal's Office, Guan Yue saw a young man dressed in a blue coat, not much older than himself, sitting at the desk with a smile on his face as he looked at Guan Yue. Upon seeing Guan Yue enter, he immediately stood up and said, "You must be Young Master Guan Tian. I anticipated your arrival; please have a seat."
Guan Yue was taken aback: How could he know?
"How did you know I would come? We aren't familiar with each other," Guan Yue exclaimed in surprise.
The young man in the blue coat laughed heartily, "Not familiar? Yet here you are! You must have visited Xiaolong Temple, right?"
Guan Yue was puzzled again: Who is this guy? Could it be that the small temple Modai went to is Xiaolong Temple?
"That's right. I want to obtain the Child of Heaven and Earth, specifically the Shadow Child from Prince Mo," Guan Yue stated openly, curious about his response.
This was a way of turning passive into active conversation.
"The Second Prince has mentioned Young Master Guan several times, and I sensed your presence on multiple occasions. Therefore, I deduced that you would seek me out. I have been waiting for you for quite some time," the young man said with an air of sophistication and straightforwardness, making Guan Yue feel very comfortable.
"Oh? You sensed my presence multiple times? How do you know about me?" Guan Yue was genuinely curious; he had never met this person before, so how could he know his aura?
The young man in the blue coat smiled again, "Please don't take offense. Your aura was conveyed to me by my brother. That's how I knew. You are a young talent from Yongning Continent; naturally, we pay special attention to you."
"My brother? Do I know him?" Guan Yue felt even more confused.
"When you broke through to the Eternal Realm, it drew the attention of all the heroes in the world. At that time, my brother already knew about you. He was quite impressed back then. Therefore, he warned me twice to never become your enemy, because you are also a living force opposing Millennium's Last Love."
Despite the young man's explanation, Guan Yue still felt confused. So he asked, "What do you call yourself?"
"Hehe, my name is Lu Qing, and my brother's name is Lu Fang. However, we are not from the Dawson Empire. So if you have any matters to discuss, feel free to talk to me. I will do my best to assist you."
Lu Qing remained calm and spoke with a peaceful demeanor, which helped Guan Yue regain some clarity.
Guan Yue asked, "How did you come to work at this school, Young Master Lu?"
Lu Qing understood the implication behind Guan Yue's question and replied, "Regardless, I need to eat. Isn't it the same to make a living there? Moreover, it is relatively safe here for now. My brother can handle Millennium's Last Love; my task is simply to teach."
Guan Yue knew he wasn't telling the whole truth, but since they were just acquaintances, why should he be honest with him?
So Guan Yue said, "How much do you know about Modai?"
"Prince Mo often comes to find me for advice."
"Has he mentioned his Shadow Child to you?"
"He said you really want this Shadow Child. He has hidden it in a very secret place that is said to be very safe. He has always been quite cautious."
"Did he mention his collaboration with the Crown Prince of the Southern Source Empire?"
"He did mention it; they are just seeking mutual benefits."
"Did he definitely ask you how to deal with Modai?"
"Hehe, I've also heard that you're planning to support Modai in seizing the throne?"
"That's because Modai won't cooperate with me."
"So you really don't want Modai to become emperor?"
"Who becomes emperor has nothing to do with me; I only care about how they treat me."
"Cooperation is a two-way street; the conditions must be equal. You still have the potential for cooperation."
"Aren't our conditions enough? In the Dawson Empire, our support is absolutely influential."
"I told you before, Modai is a very cautious person."
------
Guan Yue and Lu Qing exchanged words, and Guan Yue was secretly astonished that he couldn't outtalk Lu Qing! He seemed to have absolute control over the conversation. Although he appeared to be answering your questions, every statement was insubstantial; it was as if he was answering while still speaking nonsense.
Lu Qing should indeed be a teacher. His eloquence is quite impressive.
Guan Yue imagined that his exchanges with Modai must have been similar, yet Modai often came to inquire, indicating that he understood him better than he understood himself.
From Lu Qing's tone, Guan Yue learned about the troubles of Modai Mountain, and he realized that Modai had closed the door on cooperation with him. But would Guan Yue still cooperate with him now? Nonsense.
After some conversation, Guan Yue concluded that Shadow Child was definitely not with Lu Qing. He believed that Lu Qing would not lie. This was because Guan Yue had been using the Mental Manipulation Technique while simultaneously employing the Consciousness spying technique.
Having learned about Lu Qing and also about Lu Fang, Guan Yue felt that his trip was not in vain. Moreover, he believed that as long as Modai did not actively inquire, Lu Qing would not reveal that he had previously visited. At the same time, Guan Yue sensed that this brother Lu Fang was particularly mysterious, making it difficult for him to see through.
Lu Qing was an expert from outside the world. His brother Lu Fang must also be a prodigy. Guan Yue noted their names down.
Through careful observation, Guan Yue determined that Lu Qing's cultivation level should be roughly comparable to his own and that he already possessed Spatial Ability. However, when Lu Qing used his Spatial Ability, Guan Yue could not sense it, which was particularly strange to him.
Leaving Lu Qing's office, Guan Yue immediately went to the ancient town and arrived at Xiaolong Temple.
Guan Yue walked around Xiaolong Temple repeatedly, using Child of the Earth to sense Shadow Child, but he could not detect anything.
Guan Yue then went to the training ground of the Imperial Guard, but Child of the Earth still showed no response. There was no sign of Shadow Child here either.
Should he directly take action against Prince Modai? Although the Dawson Empire would not discover it now, once the Mother of Heaven and Earth was formed, they would still suspect that it was Guan Yue who killed Prince Modai.
This course of action seemed unreliable!
So where would Modai hide Shadow Child?
Suddenly, Guan Yue had a thought: Modai might know.
Modai currently regarded Guan Yue as his greatest competitor and would undoubtedly be very familiar with every move he made. Moreover, now that the Three Prominent Families had expressed their support for him to seize the throne, he would surely be grateful and seek to repay them.
Thus, Guan Yue quickly arranged a meeting with Modai through the Three Prominent Families.
When Guan Yue saw Modai, he couldn't help but secretly admire the excellent genetics of Mo Kong. Not only was Modai handsome, but he also had an imposing presence, reminiscent of a ruler.
As soon as Modai spotted Guan Yue, he rushed over and shook his hand tightly, enthusiastically saying, "I know you, Guan Tian, Guan Young Master. You are a noble of the Three Prominent Families and also my benefactor. The Three Prominent Families are fully supporting me at your direction, and I truly feel very happy about it. Once I achieve the status of the supreme ruler, I will definitely ensure that the Three Prominent Families do not suffer losses; they will be proud of today's wise decision."
Guan Yue could only respond, "We also recognize the Fifth Prince's exceptional talent and natural leadership."
After both of them were seated, Modai directly asked, "Guan Young Master, what did you want to discuss with me?"
Guan Yue understood that there was no need for veiled words: "Fifth Prince, I just want to know where you usually keep your important items. For example, where would the Second Prince's Shadow Child be stored?"
Modai smiled and replied, "Understood. Our valuable items are all kept in the Royal Treasury. In the Royal Treasury, each prince has their own designated cabinet. The items inside are guarded by the respective prince and cannot be accessed by others."
"Oh, the Royal Treasury," Guan Yue said. "Is there anything special about it?"
Initially, Guan Yue was concerned that Modai would not divulge details about the Royal Treasury, but to his surprise, Modai explained various aspects of the Dawson Empire Royal Family's treasury in great detail.
Guan Yue realized that Modai's extensive knowledge of the Royal Treasury must have ulterior motives.
Sure enough, after introducing the secrets of the Royal Treasury, Modai coldly smiled and said, "In fact, there is nothing particularly valuable in the Royal Treasury; it is merely a means for our father to control us. Of course, as princes, we are weak; aside from that place, there is nowhere safer to store our belongings."
Guan Yue directly asked, "If we were to make a move, what difficulties would we face?"
Modai candidly replied, "The main issue is entering the palace itself; additionally, there are four Eternal Realm experts taking turns guarding that treasury. Other than that, there shouldn't be much problem."
Guan Yue then inquired, "What do you want in exchange for sharing these secrets with us?"
Modai said directly, "A wise person does not engage in secretive matters. I simply want to know what my brothers, especially Modai, are planning. That's all."
Guan Yue understood that Modai was speaking the truth, so he immediately replied, "Fifth Prince, no problem. We will enter the Royal Treasury to retrieve the items placed there by the other princes and hand them over to you. During the struggle for the throne, we will always support you."
Then Guan Yue carefully inquired about the location of the items placed by Modai, the Second Prince, in the Royal Treasury.
That night, Guan Yue infiltrated the palace of the Dawson Empire alone.
Once Guan Yue reached the Eternal Realm, there was no place in Yongning Continent that he could not access. He had fully activated the functions of both Sky Peak Tower and Sky-Sealing Tower.
He had entrusted Sky Peak Tower to Guan Tian while he himself utilized Sky-Sealing Tower. At this moment, he recognized the true power of this divine artifact.
Meanwhile, Guan Tian was busy experimenting with Sky Peak Tower, eager to familiarize himself with it as soon as possible.
Guan Yue knew that as long as he did not release Sky-Sealing Tower from his body, it would remain invisible. In this state, ordinary disciples would not notice him entering or exiting Sky-Sealing Tower. This was the stealth function of Sky-Sealing Tower. In other words, as long as he kept Sky-Sealing Tower internal and then entered it himself, he would be completely invisible!
Thus, Guan Yue controlled Sky-Sealing Tower and lingered in front of the Dawson Empire Royal Family's treasury, waiting for the guard disciples to change shifts. This so-called treasury did not hold the empire's treasures; those were stored in the Dawson Empire's main treasure vault.
The Royal Treasury mainly contained personal belongings of princes, princesses, and court officials. Therefore, only four Eternal Realm Practitioners took turns guarding it.
