Sword Emperor of the Astonishing Sky

"Please invite Mr. Langhou to come in and talk!"

The Moon Dancer girl seemed to have taken off a layer of disguise, and her expression slowly turned into a sad one.

Her voice was slightly sad, and she invited Lin Bai into the Snow Palace.

Lin Bai agreed without hesitation, and in the Fengxue Palace, Miss Yue Wu hosted a banquet for Lin Bai.

"You guys please step aside first. I have something to discuss with Lord Langhou." Girl Yuewu asked the maids beside her to step aside temporarily.

After all the maids left, Miss Yuewu said, "Master Lang, can you let me see that painting?"

Lin Bai nodded, took out the scroll and handed it to Yuewu Girl, letting her hold it and look at it.

She looked carefully and finally determined that this was indeed the level of the twenty-first prince.

Just as Lin Bai and Crow judged... Although this painting is very rough and clumsy, with only a few simple strokes outlining the outline of the snow-capped mountains, and most of the scroll being left blank, it is full of artistic conception.

If he were not a famous painter, he would naturally not be able to complete such a simple painting with such profound artistic conception.

"Where did Mr. Lang Hou get this painting?" Yue Wu asked Lin Bai after identifying it clearly.

"I got it from the twenty-first prince's palace." Lin Bai answered truthfully.

"Impossible." Miss Yuewu shook her head, "The twenty-first prince will never give away his scroll to anyone."

Crow curled his lips and said: "Of course it's impossible to give it to us for nothing. I ran in and grabbed it directly!"

Moon Dancer's eyebrows showed a look of astonishment, and she looked at the crow on Lin Bai's shoulder in shock.

Lin Bai hurriedly pressed the crow's beak and said to Girl Yuewu: "Girl Yuewu should know very well that I am currently loyal to His Highness King Chen."

"The birthday of Emperor Chu is approaching, and His Royal Highness King Chen is responsible for the security issues in the imperial capital."

"The disappearance of the twenty-first prince is suspected to be related to the remnants of the Nine Nether Demon Palace."

"So I caused unnecessary trouble. His Highness Prince Chen asked me to investigate secretly and rescue the twenty-first prince."

"I just sent people to sneak into the twenty-first prince's palace and secretly collect relevant clues."

Lin Bai used the name of His Highness Prince Chen and crafted a story carefully.

Crow was unhappy when he heard this and glared at Lin Bai, "I am not here to be ordered by you. You have no right to order me."

"Lin Bai, we agreed on a score of 28 points!"

Lin Bai patted the crow gently to signal him to stop talking nonsense.

After hearing Lin Bai's words, Yuewu Girl nodded slightly to express her approval.

Lord Lang has a good relationship with His Highness Prince Chen, which is well known to everyone in the imperial capital.

The disappearance of the twenty-first prince must be a major event in the imperial capital, although it was suppressed by the Zhaoxing Division and was not made public.

However, the Chu royal family and Zhao Xingsi must be extremely anxious. At this time, His Royal Highness King Chen secretly ordered Lin Bai to investigate.

Girl Yuewu took a deep breath and said, "I do have a deep friendship with the twenty-first prince."

"If you want to know anything, Mr. Wolf Marquis, just ask. As long as the little girl knows something, she will not hide it."

A deep friendship? How deep? ... Lin Bai suddenly felt a bad taste in his heart.

Lin Bai had many thoughts in his mind, "What is the relationship between the twenty-first prince and the girl?"

Girl Yuewu raised her beautiful eyes and said, "Didn't Lord Lang have already guessed it all?"

Lin Bai smiled and said: "It's not that I'm rude, but there are some things... guessing is useless, you still have to listen to it."

The Moon Dancer girl took a deep breath, with memories in her eyes, "I met the 21st Prince at the royal family's 'Moon Sacrifice Party' eight years ago."

"I am an unknown oiran in Mingyue Square, but because of my outstanding dancing skills, I was invited to perform a dance at the moon festival party."

The Moon Sacrifice Meeting refers to the ceremony in which the Chu royal family worships the bright moon.

The Yueding Tower was built specifically for the 'Moon Sacrifice Meeting' by the Chu royal family.

In Chu State, there are many types of sacrificial activities like the 'Moon Sacrifice Meeting'.

As long as you want to participate, there will be different sacrificial ceremonies and temple fairs every day in the imperial capital.

The Moon Dancer girl continued: "I met Prince Twenty-one at the Moon Festival. Prince Twenty-one took the initiative to draw a portrait for me and gave it to me."

"That's why I have a deep love for the twenty-first prince."

"But I am an oiran from the Moon Palace, and he is the most beloved prince in front of Emperor Chu."

"We are impossible."

The Moon Dancer girl sighed softly, "But God is kind to me. After the moon ceremony, the twenty-one princes came to the Moon Palace every day to listen to music."

"Come here specifically to see me."

"The twenty-first prince often listens to music and watches dances at my place, which also attracts the attention of many warriors in the imperial capital."

"Slowly, I stepped from an unknown courtesan to the Moon Palace."

"Some time ago, Miss Yunke from Fengxue Palace left the Moon Palace, and I was invited by the Yue Palace to become the new owner of the Fengxue Palace."

After hearing what Yuewu girl said carefully, Lin Bai nodded slightly. It seemed that she and the twenty-first prince were not as simple as they seemed on the surface.

But Lin Bai didn't come here today to hear love stories, so he changed the subject, "Did the Twenty-one Prince give you any gift?"

Lin Bai's main goal here is to determine whether the treasure key is still in Fengxue Palace.

Girl Yue Wu smiled bitterly, "The twenty-first prince regards money as dirt, and he spends money extremely generously."

"Every time I come to the Moon Palace, I will be given many gifts, either magical weapons, rare treasures, or panacea..."

"The twenty-first prince gave me too many gifts. I don't know what Lord Lang is looking for?"

Sure enough, the twenty-first prince was that kind of aloof scholar... Lin Bai gave a bitter smile.

But Lin Bai couldn't directly ask Miss Yuewu if she knew the clue to the treasure key.

"A sword!"

"Did the useless prince give you a sword?"

Before Lin Bai could figure out how to ask, Crow couldn't wait to ask Moon Dancer.

Lin Bai was on the verge of tears. He originally thought not to reveal the key to the treasure, but he didn't expect Crow to tell him directly.

"A sword? What sword?" Yuewu girl was obviously interested and asked hurriedly.

To prevent the crow from causing further trouble, Lin Bai replied: "Miss Moon Dancer, just answer our questions."

"Do you have a sword?"

Lin Bai asked, staring at Yuewu girl.

Moon Dancer's eyes darkened. She did not rush to answer, but thought about it seriously.

She asked back: "How sure is Mr. Lang that he can rescue the twenty-first prince?"

Let me go, this woman reacted... Lin Bai felt a little angry.

Moon Dancer realized that Lin Bai seemed to value this sword very much, so she did not answer Lin Bai's question clearly.

Instead, he asked Lin Bai how sure he was of rescuing the twenty-first prince.

The implication of this sentence is... If Mr. Langhou can rescue the twenty-first prince, I will give you this sword. On the contrary, if you cannot rescue him, then I will naturally not give it to you.

Lin Bai sneered in his heart and still did not directly answer Miss Yuewu's question. Instead, he asked with a smile: "If Miss Yuewu doesn't give me this sword, I have no confidence that I can save the twenty-first prince."

Beautiful, one move is fatal... Lin Bai smiled and said to Moon Dancer.

The psychological game between the two old foxes made the crow confused.

The implication of the Moon Dancer girl is... you rescue the twenty-first prince, and I will give you the sword. Lin Bai's implication... If you don't give me the sword, I won't be able to rescue the twenty-first prince.
