Chapter 1924 Everything is going according to his plan
Meanwhile, deep within the Heavenly Prison.
Mingchuan sat back in a fairly clean cell, closing his eyes to rest.
Despite being called a prison, the environment here isn't as bad as you might imagine.
It was dry, well-ventilated, and even had a stone bed and a thin blanket.
A lamp burned eternally in the corner, casting a soft glow.
Outside the prison gate stood two guards dressed in golden armor.
Their cultivation level was not high, only at the early stage of Nascent Soul, but they were very vigilant, constantly watching the movements in the cell.
Mingchuan didn't care about these things.
He was waiting for Yueyao's people to arrive.
He believed that, given Yueyao's personality, she would definitely send someone to investigate.
Perhaps she will come herself.
At that time...
A slight smile curved his lips.
Just then, footsteps suddenly came from outside the cell.
The footsteps were very light and slow, as if afraid of disturbing something.
Mingchuan didn't open his eyes, but his ears twitched slightly.
The footsteps stopped outside his cell.
Then, a hoarse voice rang out:
"Sect Master Ming, someone has come to see you."
Mingchuan slowly opened his eyes.
Outside the prison gate stood a figure completely shrouded in a black robe.
The figure raised its head, revealing a familiar face.
The moon leaves no trace.
Mingchuan smiled.
"They arrived quite quickly."
Standing outside the cell door, Yue Wuhen looked at the young man inside, who was sitting on the stone bed with a calm expression as if he were on vacation rather than in prison. A complex emotion welled up in his heart.
Is this kid truly fearless, or has he figured out that no one will dare to touch him?
"Sect Master Ming is in high spirits; he can still laugh in a place like this."
"Why aren't you smiling?" Mingchuan raised an eyebrow. "Someone stayed up all night to come and visit me, which means I'm quite popular. Wouldn't you smile if you were in my shoes?"
Yue Wuhen didn't respond to his comment.
He waved his hand, signaling the two guards to step back.
The guards exchanged a glance, hesitated for a moment, and then retreated to the end of the corridor.
"Why did you come to Tianque City?" Yue Wuhen stared at Mingchuan, his gaze sharp as a knife. "And why were you captured?"
Mingchuan sighed and shrugged: "This question makes it sound like I wanted to be arrested. I came to Tianque City to talk to the Third Prince about something, but who knew that guy was so uncivilized and turned hostile after only a few words. I'm just unlucky."
Yue Wuhen frowned slightly.
This sounded true, but he felt something was off.
With Mingchuan's shrewdness, how could he possibly let himself be taken down so easily?
"What are you going to talk about?"
"That's not something I can tell you," Mingchuan smiled. "But if you really want to know, you can ask the Third Prince. He should be happy to tell you."
Yue Wuhen remained silent for a moment.
He quickly considered all the possibilities in his mind.
The arrest of Mingchuan is certainly a good thing for Longyin Temple.
The problem is that this good thing came too suddenly, making people feel uneasy.
"The fairy asked me to pass on a message to you," he suddenly said.
Mingchuan raised an eyebrow: "Oh? Fairy Yueyao has something else to say to me? I'd like to hear it in detail."
Yue Wuhen stared at him, speaking slowly and deliberately:
"She said, 'You should stay in jail. In a few days, she will come to see you off in person.'"
Mingchuan was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
The laughter echoed in the empty cell, causing Yue Wuhen to frown deeply.
"What are you laughing at?"
"It's nothing, nothing." Mingchuan waved his hand, barely managing to stop laughing. "I just feel that Fairy Yueyao truly loves me. Even at this time, she still remembered to personally see me off. I will remember this kindness."
He paused, looked at Yue Wuhen, a hint of amusement in his eyes:
"But could you also pass on a message to her for me?"
"What?"
“I told you…” Mingchuan’s lips curled into a smile, “that she should bring more people with her when she comes. I’m worried that if she comes alone, I won’t be able to send them all off.”
Yue Wuhen's expression changed.
He stared at Mingchuan, trying to read something from his face.
But the young man just leaned lazily against the stone bed, his eyes so clear it seemed he was really just joking.
"You..." Yue Wuhen wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Mingchuan.
"Alright, the message has been delivered, and the person has been seen. Shouldn't we head back now?"
Mingchuan yawned. "It's the middle of the night. I'm going to sleep, even if you're not. Take care, don't bother seeing me out."
Yue Wuhen gave him a deep look, said nothing more, and turned to leave.
The footsteps faded into the distance, and the two guards at the end of the corridor returned to their positions.
Mingchuan closed his eyes again, but the smile on his lips never faded.
They arrived so quickly.
The fact that Yue Wuhen came in person shows that Yue Yao has indeed taken the bait.
Now, we'll see when she arrives.
……
The Third Prince's Residence.
After leaving the Heavenly Prison, Yue Wuhen came directly here.
The Third Prince was reading in his study when he heard the announcement and had someone invite him in.
"What brings you here so late at night, Lord Moon?" The Third Prince put down his book, his tone indifferent.
Yue Wuhen cupped his hands in greeting: "I apologize for disturbing you so late at night, Your Highness. I have just been released from the Heavenly Prison and went to see Mingchuan."
The Third Prince raised an eyebrow: "Oh? Palace Master Yue is so interested in him?"
Yue Wuhen said, "It was the fairy's instruction. The fairy asked me to tell Your Highness that she is grateful for your help. When the time is right, she will come to express her gratitude in person."
The Third Prince waved his hand: "No need for thanks. I arrested him because he offended me, not because of your fairy. Palace Master Yue, go back and tell Fairy Yueyao not to worry about it."
Yue Wuhen nodded and then said, "In addition, the fairy asked me to ask Your Highness a question: what did Mingchuan say to Your Highness when he came?"
The Third Prince's eyes narrowed slightly.
He looked at Yue Wuhen, remained silent for a few moments, and then suddenly smiled.
"Is Lord Moon here to interrogate me on behalf of your fairy?"
"I wouldn't dare," Yue Wuhen said, bowing her head. "It's just that Fairy is worried that Mingchuan might sow discord and cause Your Highness to misunderstand something."
"A misunderstanding?" The Third Prince stood up, walked to the window, and turned his back to Yue Wuhen. "He did say some things. He said your fairy is untrustworthy, that she will betray me sooner or later. He also said..."
He paused, then turned to look at Yue Wuhen:
“He said he could help me ascend the throne.”
Yue Wuhen's pupils contracted slightly.
"Your Highness believes it?"
"What do you think?" the Third Prince asked in return.
Yue Wuhen remained silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Your Highness is wise and will not be deceived by such a villain."
The third prince smiled but did not reply.
He walked back to his desk, sat down again, and picked up a book.
"Does Lord Moon have anything else to say?"
Yue Wuhen knew this meant he was being asked to leave. He cupped his hands in a respectful gesture, then turned and departed.
After the study door closed, the Third Prince put down his book, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
As expected, Yueyao sent someone to inquire...
Everything is proceeding according to Mingchuan's plan.
This person is quite interesting.
