Master Gao wanted to say something but hesitated.
Emperor Wu said, “I want her to succeed more than anything else. How could Junjun lie to me? If I knew he had only recovered half of his strength, I would never have sent him out there!”
Master Gao was touched. “His Royal Highness might seem defiant and doesn’t seem to care much about the empire, but at this critical moment, he went to the battlefield despite his injury. He’s the pride of our empire!”
Emperor Wu nodded with tears in his eyes. “He’s giving his life to the Junwu Empire.”
Feng Wu found Master Chu as soon as she could. She showed him the token and had him prepare all the ingredients she needed while she went to Wandering Temple.
Master Linghu was the one she needed to see now.
Jun Linyuan was only half-recovered.
If Night Owl could rise above all the other capable princes, he had to be extremely powerful.
The fact that he had started this war meant that he was well-prepared. He must know he was Jun Linyuan’s equal.
Jun Linyuan was walking into a death trap!
He was risking his life!
If one were to get to the bottom of it, one would discover that Feng Wu was the cause of his injury.
The war had to be stopped before the entire empire was dragged into it.
That was why Feng Wu went to Wandering Temple. Of all the people she knew, Master Linghu was the only one who could stop this war.
She rode all the way from the royal palace to the temple.
She saw boys playing outside their homes and girls eating sweets.
There were vendors along the streets.
The common people were enjoying their peaceful lives.
Feng Wu took a deep breath.
She would never let the war destroy this.
All the fighting should be confined to Peace Grassland.
No one should shed blood beyond that place.
Feng Wu raised her whip and urged the horse to run faster.
…
Wandering Temple.
Feng Wu rushed inside as fast as her legs could carry her.
She couldn’t find Master Linghu’s room.
It was so easy to find before, but she lost her way in the bamboo grove.
It took her a while to realize she was in a formation.
She was amazed because very few formations could do that.
She tried to solve it but failed.
Only then did she realize that Master Linghu’s formation skill was as unmatched as his cultivation achievements.
He was so much more powerful than her.
Feng Wu fell silent and was a little upset.
His meaning was obvious.
Master Linghu didn’t want to get involved.
She was right.
Before long, Yuanbao came out with a guilty look when he saw Feng Wu.
He said, “Master says he can’t leave the imperial capital.”
Feng Wu had guessed as much.
If it could be easily done, Master Linghu would have agreed to help her because Jun Linyuan was one of his favorite young cultivators.
Yuanbao raised his hands.
“Master asked me to give this to you.”
It was a long, narrow box.
There was nothing special about it.
