Yan Maoxing said, "This is Prince Qin, and this is Prince Qi."
Prince Qin and Prince Qi correspond to the Fourth Prince and the Eighth Prince.
"..."
Chen Sansi was somewhat surprised.
How could this be? There’s no escaping it?
Moreover, something seemed amiss...
The Yan Party was the Emperor’s glove.
He could tell; under these circumstances, why would Yan Maoxing dare to get involved in the dispute over the Crown Prince? Wasn’t this committing a grave taboo?
And it was not just that.
Chen Sansi had heard from Yan Changqing that his grandfather, Yan Liang, because of his old age, had not yet arrived.
Plus, with the guard in the residence, it felt like they were sneaking around.
Was Yan Maoxing contacting princes behind his father’s back?
It was quite chaotic.
The father and son, the sovereign and ministers, were all playing mind games with each other.
Fortunately around the banquet table,
Yan Maoxing and the others merely tried to coax him indirectly without openly asking him to do anything, so this banquet passed in a blur.
The two princes, however, did not exude spiritual energy or anything like incense, just normal Martial Arts practitioners.
"I need to move in with my senior brother,"
Chen Sansi made up his mind, "This way, these people will stop coming to me constantly, and I can also take care of my senior brother’s health. Right, I should visit the Mountain God Temple today."
He changed his appearance, once again adopting the look of Lai Zi, taking advantage of the morning when it was most crowded to arrive at the Mountain God Temple, grabbed the temple priest by the collar and demanded from a position of superiority.
"Boy! Does this great hero have what he requested or not?"
"Great Hero! Someone is waiting for you!"
The temple priest respectfully said, "Right in the small hall next door."
"I presume you must be Hero Zhang?"
Cao Fan, clad in common clothes, appeared.
By his side were Yun Xiaozi and others.
"Indeed!"
Chen Sansi squinted his eyes and sized up the other party, "Youngster, who are you? Hurry and bring out what this great hero desires!"
"Hero Zhang!"
Cao Fan took out a porcelain bottle from his bosom, "This medicine can be regarded as half an Immortal Pill, even my father only has this single piece, it is sincere enough, please accept it, Hero Zhang!"
"Your father knows his place."
Chen Sansi unapologetically put it into his pocket, then squinted at them, "What else?"
"More..."
Yun Xiaozi and Ling Xuzi exchanged looks, finding this man a bit greedy.
He reluctantly took out an incense burner from his bosom, "Hero Zhang, this is four months’ worth of incense accumulated by the Mountain God Temple. Our Divine Sect is also in great need, and we really can’t bring any more, but once the deed is done, we will definitely provide enough for the hero!"
"This is it?!"
Chen Sansi showed his dissatisfaction.
"You..."
Yun Xiaozi and others wanted to say something
but were stopped by Cao Fan, "Hero Zhang, whatever else you desire, just ask. If it’s within our power, we will surely fulfill it."
"You’ve been..."

Chen Sansi eyed them carefully, "Searching for something on Ziwei Mountain recently, haven’t you?"
Emperor Longqing wanted something on Ziwei Mountain, the Crown Prince definitely knew it, and would surely try to find it too.
Since the secret chamber left by Cao Xie had special restrictions, and likely needed a Cao Family Member to open it, why not try to make use of that?
After all, relying solely on his own abilities, he wouldn’t be able to open the secret chamber. Enjoy new chapters from freewebnovel
So whether it was the Cao Family or Seeking Immortal Tower, it was wise to utilize whatever help was available.
"Hero Zhang even knows about this?"
Cao Fan was somewhat surprised.
This Zhang Lai Zi was truly a rare master in the world, with almost nothing able to elude him, and he also understood the implied meaning in the words, feeling somewhat troubled, "Do you wish for a share of the Grand Ancestor Relics left behind? That might be inappropriate."
"So stingy, completely insincere!"
Chen Sansi spoke as he prepared to leave with the furnace tripod.
"Wait a moment, let’s step aside and talk!"
Cao Fan gritted his teeth, "I will report this matter to my father, it may not be impossible, but... before that, there is another matter for which I wish to seek the hero’s help."
Chen Sansi glanced at him, "Let’s hear it then."
"Hero, help me kill someone!"
Cao Fan lowered his voice, "If you can help me kill this fiend, even if my father disagrees, if we really find the Grand Ancestor Relics, I will find a way to share them with you!"
"Oh?"
Chen Sansi asked, "Who?"
"Chen Sansi!"
Cao Fan enunciated each syllable, "This man is cunning and vicious, utterly despicable and shameful; if he is not removed, I will truly struggle to sleep at night!"
"Nonsense!"
Chen Sansi suddenly shouted, "Don’t you know that this man is a disciple of Sun Xiangzong? Are you trying to get this great hero into trouble?!"
"Great hero, Sun Xiangzong has disappeared, he cannot appear in Taihu Prefecture!"
Cao Fan urgently persuaded, "When the upheaval occurs, Ziwei Mountain will surely be in chaos, all you need to do is to strike amidst the confusion, it will surely be done without anyone knowing, even if Sun Xiangzong wants to investigate afterward, he won’t know where to start!"
"Is that so~"
Chen Sansi feigned a troubled expression, "Your words offer nothing solid, why should I believe you?"
"Alright!"
Cao Fan seemed to have made a significant decision, pulling out a jade pendant from his bosom, "This item, given to me recently by my father as something to protect my life, but it requires cultivation of the Incense Fire Divine Dao to be used, and I have no use for it currently, so I’ll entrust it to Hero Zhang for safekeeping!
"After the deed is done, I will honor my promise and share the Grand Ancestor Relics with you, then you can return the item to me."
"Hmm, that sounds more like it."
Chen Sansi fondled the jade pendant, "Since that’s the case, I will agree to your request. I’ll fetch Chen Sansi’s head for you."
