Chapter 1295: A Gamble
“The crown prince consort is not inside the palace at present. She has gone to a small fortification faraway and will not be returning temporarily,” Fan Qiuhe explained impassively.
“May this humble one ask where the seniors hail from.” Fan Qiuhe cupped his hands towards the three people in salute. “If it is needed, this humble one is willing to guide you to the small fortification and search for the crown prince consort.”
Fan Qiuming’s eyes widened at once when he heard this, and he gazed at Fan Qiuhe in disbelief.
Of the two people who had not spoken, the young man announced coldly, “We come from Anyi Prefecture. This is the fourth miss Guan Yiying of our Anyi Prefecture, and he is our Pundit Zhao.”
From beginning to end, the elder addressed respectfully as Pundit Zhao had shut his eyes to rest, folding his arms as he sat by the side.
Fan Qiuhe cupped his hands toward them once more. “The crown prince consort has gone to Jiaozhong Fortification with a hundred great mystic cultivators who are level-11 and above to clean up the remnant zombies there.”
Upon hearing this, Fourth Miss Guan Yiying involuntarily smirked with an amused yet apathetic expression. “Oh? So many of them, one hundred level-11 great mystic cultivators.”
“How unfortunate that they only amount to ants in our eyes,” Guan Yiying cackled.
Fan Qiuhe’s eyes flickered as he brown-nosed, “That is only natural. How can the crown prince consort and her party compare to you masters.”
“Lad, your words are pleasant to hear.” Guan Yiying smiled at Fan Qiuhe. “How about this, lead us to that base. I really am curious about whether that crown prince consort has obtained the Xuanji Core.”
Fan Qiuhe chuckled. “How does an ant deserve to possess a divine item like the Xuanji Core. Even if she has obtained it, it will inevitably become yours, Miss.”
“Kekeke, hahaha.” Guan Yiying laughed heartily as she praised Fan Qiuhe with a nod, “Lad, you sure know what to say.”
Fan Qiuming was distressed. “Eldest Brother, this.”
After clashing so many times, was Eldest Brother still unaware of the crown prince and crown prince consort’s methods?
If the crown prince consort found out that it was their Fan Clan that sold her out, then… would she even let them off?
The entire clan would meet with disaster! At that time, would they be able to withstand the flames of His Highness the Crown Prince’s wrath!
However, Fan Qiuhe merely glanced at his younger brother coldly. “Qiuming, this matter has nothing to do with you anymore.”
He had been troubled as to how to make his move. After all, the amount of time that person gave him was almost up.
Their last interaction at the Mystic Beast Forest told him that it was impossible for him to get close to this crown prince consort.
For some reason, this crown prince consort was like a psychopath, wanting to kill him every time she saw him.
But he had clearly never exposed his identity in front of her before, so how could she have known that he harbored malicious intentions toward her?
His original plan was to approach her by infiltrating the Huge Bear Squad. After all, his prior investigation showed that she had always been treating everyone in the Huge Bear Squad favorably.
But from the looks of it now, there was simply no opportunity.
That person had already given the word to deal with her as soon as possible. There was no need to do anything unnecessary.
Since that was the case, then he would just as well take a gamble and exterminate her through someone else’s hand.
Fan Qiuhe exhaled deeply and smiled at Guan Yiying. “It is just that this journey to Jiaozhong is quite far…”
“You don’t need to worry about this. With Pundit Zhao’s Six-Winged Goshawk, travel is simply not an issue.”
Fan Qiuhe replied with a smile. “Then that is for the best.”
