Qi Ye said, "After the Imperial Tutor left the Prince of a Different Surname's manor, he did not go to the Imperial Palace but returned to his own residence."
Chen Nan nodded slightly.
He was certain.
Zheng Yu already knew that the Gao clan had lost the Imperial Sword.
Normally.
He would have definitely informed Emperor Fengdu about this matter.
But in reality, he did not.
"Given Zheng Yu's relationship with the Prince of a Different Surname."
"He would definitely conceal the loss of the Imperial Sword."
"However, it would only be temporary."
"Concealing information is also a serious offense."
"The Imperial Tutor must have given the Prince of a Different Surname a few days to find the Imperial Sword."
Thinking of this.
A plan formed in Chen Nan's mind.
Although this move was not enough to bring down Zheng Yu.
It would certainly not make things easy for him.
Most importantly.
He could use this opportunity to eliminate Prince Gao Xi of a Different Surname.
And make the Gao clan pay for Han Zongyuan's life.
This plan was actually very simple.
He would inform Emperor Fengdu about the Gao clan losing the Imperial Sword.
Then he could use Emperor Fengdu's hand to eliminate the Gao clan.
And also let the Emperor punish Zheng Yu for concealing information.
------
After dinner.
Chen Nan went to his usual cultivation room.
Then he took out the Son of Heaven Token and informed Emperor Fengdu about the Gao clan losing the Imperial Sword.
He did not say that he had obtained the Imperial Sword himself.
Explaining the origin of the Imperial Sword would be unclear.
After all, the Prince of a Different Surname used the Imperial Sword to kill the remnants of the Anti-Heaven Cult.
If he admitted that the Imperial Sword was in his possession.
Wouldn't that be like trying to hide something that is obvious?
Admitting that he was colluding with the remnants of the Anti-Heaven Cult?
Not long after the message was sent.
Chen Nan received the Emperor Fengdu's imperial decree: "The time is ripe."
"This sword of the Celestial Monitoring Division can now be revealed to the world."
"You are fully responsible for this case."
Seeing this.
Chen Nan couldn't help but gasp.
What did he mean?
Emperor Fengdu wanted to reveal the hidden sharp sword of the Celestial Monitoring Division?
If that was the case.
Then he could show off.
Oh no!
Then he could openly confront the Prince of a Different Surname head-on.
"Your subject obeys the decree!"
"I guarantee to complete the mission with flying colors!"
Chen Nan replied, then put away the Son of Heaven Token.
His mind raced.
"It's as I thought."
"The Emperor not only wants to kill the Imperial Tutor."
"He has long harbored murderous intent towards the Prince of a Different Surname as well."
"However."
"The Prince of a Different Surname is a minor figure to him."
"In terms of threat level, he is far inferior to the Imperial Tutor."
"But if he can find a handle to eliminate the Prince of a Different Surname, he will not be lenient."
"Otherwise, he would not have made me fully responsible for this case."
Chen Nan understood.
Emperor Fengdu's intention was to execute the Gao family according to the law.
"The Gao family must be destroyed!"
"But!"
"They cannot be destroyed directly."
"They still have some value for exploitation."
Chen Nan looked at the thick snow outside the window, a sinister smile flashing in his eyes.
"Few people in the world know about the loss of the Imperial Sword."
"The Imperial Tutor is definitely one of them."
"He might even be the only outsider."
"Suppose I go to the Prince of a Different Surname's manor under the pretense of maintaining the Imperial Sword."
"The Prince of a Different Surname will definitely find all sorts of excuses to fob me off."
"But similarly, he will become vigilant."
"He might even suspect that Zheng Yu leaked the news of the Imperial Sword's loss."
"If that's the case, won't that make them turn on each other?"
"If they both suffer heavy losses in their fight, then I can make my move..."
"Tsk tsk tsk!"
"Interesting, very interesting!"
At this moment, Chen Nan's mind was clear.
He had formulated a plan to trap them.
He took out the fragmented laws that Zai Cang Six had given him from his storage magical treasure.
These were fragments of earth elemental laws.
Although not many.
They were still much better than nothing.
After doing all this.
Chen Nan instantly disappeared from the room.
The next moment.
He appeared in the room of the sisters Lu Bailing and Lu Qingqing next door.
He appeared on the bed in the room.
He appeared between the two sisters.
The sudden appearance startled the sisters, making them jump.
Seeing Chen Nan, they smiled and threw themselves into his arms.
Begging for affection...
Chen Nan did not call You Xuan.
Although he knew.
As long as he called her, she would come immediately.
But.
Was Chen Nan the kind of person who would act on lust?
He was a gentleman.
Although a bit of a scoundrel.
But definitely not a shameless scoundrel who acted on lust.
Therefore.
He would absolutely not call You Xuan.
Of course.
If You Xuan knew what was happening here.
And insisted on joining them.
He probably... would not refuse her.
After all.
This long, cold night was truly cold.
As a warm-hearted person, to embrace and warm her body and soul together.
Wasn't that his duty?
------
The next day.
The sun was shining brightly.
Compared to the cold days before.
It was significantly warmer today.
But it was only temporary.
After all, there was a common saying: snow is not cold, thawing snow is.
Looking at the bright sunshine outside.
Lu Qingqing suggested, "Young Master Chen, the sun is shining brightly today, how about we go for a walk in the city?"
After a few encounters with Chen Nan.
The sisters' physiques had also changed, with the warmth left by Chen Nan within them.
It could help them ward off the cold.
A hint of longing appeared in Lu Bailing's eyes: "If we could go out for a stroll, then my heart would have no regrets!"
The sisters both envied the mortal world.
It was because of this that they came to the mortal world for training.
The regret was.
It was winter now, and their race determined that they could not live like ordinary people in this long, cold winter.
Furthermore, the sisters were forcibly brought here by the Lu family.
Even though they had been in Fengdu City for some time, they had not yet seen the prosperity of Fengdu City.
"Since the two elder sisters want to go out for a stroll, I will accompany you." Chen Nan readily agreed to the sisters' suggestion.
Although the prosperity of Fengdu City was nothing to him.
It was even backward and poor compared to the outside world.
But this was the first time the Lu sisters had made a request of him.
Let alone such an easy matter.
Even if it meant going through mountains of knives and seas of fire, he would not frown.
The sisters were overjoyed.
They each kissed Chen Nan on the cheeks.
Then they got up to wash, groom, and change their clothes.
Considering that it was still very cold outside, Chen Nan borrowed two white cloaks from Bai Yu and You Xuan, and then took the sisters to leave their residence.
With one beautiful woman in each arm, they arrived at the main street of Fengdu City.
Vendors' cries could be heard from both sides of the street.
There were colorful plush toys.
Sugar figures.
And merchants carrying tanghulu for sale.
These were all things the Lu sisters had never seen before.
Chen Nan bought everything the sisters were interested in.
This filled the sisters' eyes with moving affection.
And they also felt something called happiness spreading in their hearts.
It was bulging, as if it was about to overflow.
It felt very comfortable.
Along the way, they encountered a clothing store, and Chen Nan directly took the sisters inside. The colorful clothes made the sisters' eyes light up.
They had never seen so many styles of clothing.
Chen Nan smiled and said, "If you like anything, try it on. If you don't want to try it, then buy it all."
Just then.
A disdainful voice came from a nearby rest area: "Buy all the clothes here? Such a bold claim, do you know how much these clothes are worth?"
