Chapter 263: One More
In the wee hours, another matter was fervently underway. Master Yu Sheng’s arrival at Zheng Capital was carried out in utter silence, known only to Zheng Congyuan, who had already arrived outside Zheng Capital City. Zheng Congyuan personally went to meet him.
Master Yu Sheng did not require an escort, but since it was Zheng Congyuan, he did not insist too much. He gave an address, and by the dead of night, Zheng Congyuan, accompanied by Qi Ling, Qi Zhu, four others, and a group of Hidden Guards, stood in the darkness. An hour passed, yet there was no sign of Master Yu Sheng.
"Your Highness, could we have missed him?" Qi Jin had gone ahead to scout the area, only to find neither man nor ghost shadow. Moreover, the location offered a clear view, and looking down from the slope could span half a day’s walk. Therefore, even if Master Yu Sheng had been riding a horse, he should have appeared in their line of sight by now.
Zheng Congyuan did not respond to Qi Jin’s words, but simply stared quietly into the distance, maintaining a calm and composed demeanor. However, Qi Ling suspected that his lord was lost in thought again.
The last few days, the Crown Prince had often been lost in thought, as if he had suddenly become a different person.
Although Qi Ling vaguely guessed what had happened in the room that day, he was more meticulous than Qi Zhu and Qi Jin. He had specifically checked the Prince’s clothes from that day and found nothing, which was a relief yet also a concern. Considering the short interval, he probably worried too much. But, shouldn’t he be pleased with this result? Qi Ling felt somewhat insane for feeling a bit...
Indescribable.
Qi Jin and Qi Yu grew impatient. Although they had never met Master Yu Sheng, they had heard that his identity was formidable, and he seldom met with others easily, which only added to the mystery surrounding him.
Some said that Master Yu Sheng was truly a Heavenly God reincarnated, possessing a transcendent face unmatched in both Heaven and Earth, an ethereal beauty. There were various accounts, some saying he had a human form with feathered wings, capable of soaring to the heavens and burrowing into the earth.
