Chapter 203 : Flower Demons’ Lair (4)
In light of the tragedy, Xie Jianyu and Zhang Fengxi did not have much to talk about afterward. They split ways once they arrived at the Heavenly Realm, each of them had specific tasks to attend to.
To fulfill his promise to the Three-Eyed Realm Wanderer, Xie Jianyu took the Soul Gathering Lantern to the Tree Of Life and hung it on one of its branches. He did not forget to offer up a prayer for the broken soul’s peace, and at the same time for his mother’s return to the right path.
Dutiful as always, the Crown Prince then went to report the situation to his father, the Heavenly Emperor. It was close to dawn, just minutes after the ruler of the entire heaven emerged from his bed chamber.
At the end of Xie Jianyu’s report, the Emperor could not help but let out a deep sigh.
"A truly tragic ending for a prince of one of the nine palaces," he remarked. "What did you two do with his corpse?"
"Prince Zhang Fengxi offered to deliver Liu Wenyuan’s remains to Wuyang Palace. Considering their past entanglement with each other, it is proper."
"Hmmm."
The Emperor narrowed his eyes at his youngest son; his inquisitive gaze made Xie Jianyu’s skin crawl from anxiety.
"What about you?"
"..."
"Have you investigated his real intention toward you?"
