Chapter 35 Shameless Royal Family

Nangong Xun nodded, kept silent, and walked towards a house. Dugu Muyou thought he had something to do, so she didn't follow. After a while, Nangong Xun's voice came slowly, "What are you doing?"

Dugu Muyou was startled. Did she need to go there?

After entering the house, Dugu Muyou found out that this was a huge weapon storehouse. The huge house was full of weapons. She had only heard about some weapons there but had never seen.

The long swords hanging on the wall were treasures.

"Where is this place?" Dugu Muyou asked. She touched the sword slowly with one hand. The sword was about 1 meter long, and its hilt was made of high-quality mahogany. The blade was sharp. It must be made by a master.

"You know it. Why do you ask me?" Nangong Xun was cold and did not answer her question. Dugu Muyou was used to his indifference and didn't take it seriously.

When she came to such a good place, she must take a good look at the treasures. Wasn't it the purpose of Nangong Xun who looked for such a place for her and brought her in?

Dugu Muyou carefully studied those knives, guns, swords, and halberds one by one. Any one of them was very powerful in her hand, but she was not accustomed to using weapons, so holding these large weapons would be a bit cumbersome.

"Do you find the right one?" Nangong Xun asked suddenly.

Dugu Muyou played with a sword. After that, she put it back again. Then she shook her head and said, "All the weapons here are treasures, but I didn't find anything I like. Do you have other choices?"

Dugu Muyou had her own standard for the choice of a weapon. A good one didn't mean a suitable one.

Nangong Xun looked at her and asked, "Wasn't there any weapon suitable for you?"

"Yes, I didn't find one."

Nangong Xun took out a dagger from his cuff. The dagger was no more than 10 centimeters long, but it was sharp and bright. At first glance, it was obvious that this dagger could cut clean through iron as though it were mud! The dagger was held in his long fingers, delicate and dangerous. Certainly, it was a treasure!

Dugu Muyou stared at the dagger in a daze. Then she glanced at Nangong Xun and slowly asked, "What is this?"

Nangong Xun turned the dagger upside down and gently slashed across a thick wooden board. When the wooden board was slashed, there was no change on the surface. After the dagger was just taken back by Nangong Xun, the board was split into two pieces instantly!

"How about this?"

Nangong Xun pinched the handle of the dragger and asked Dugu Muyou. Dugu Muyou was still staring at the wooden board that fell on the ground, so she didn't hear it at the moment. When she looked at the dagger, Nangong Xun slightly smiled. That rare smile was like a warm breeze across his cheeks, making people a little intoxicated.

"It is really a rare and good weapon," Dugu Muyou showed her love for this dagger.

Nangong Xun handed the dagger to Dugu Muyou and said coldly, "Then keep it."

Dugu Muyou took the dagger, "Why do you send me a dagger?"

"Two days later, it will be the Dugus' competition. With your current spiritual qi, you have a great possibility of winning in this competition, but you know what the Dugus are. Don't you know how to protect yourself when necessary?"

Dugu Muyou figured out what Nangong Xun said just now. His analysis was correct. The Dugus were cunning and deceitful, including those who were admired by others. They had two faces. Dugu Muyou had to protect herself.

"I know. I will accept this dagger."

"OK."

After coming out of the weapon storehouse, Nangong Xun looked back and said to Dugu Muyou, "You have to leave here now to see what the royal family is doing. The Dugus will have a competition, and the royal family will not ignore it. If you want to win, you must know yourself and your opponents."

Dugu Muyou's eyes flickered. Why did Nangong Xun who didn't often come here know so clearly about the Jinnan Kingdom? Did he investigate anything secretly? Or were there his men?

The more she thought about Nangong Xun, the more she felt that he was mysterious.

"Think twice about everything. See you."

Dugu Muyou just came back to earth and found that Nangong Xun had left. The luxurious house disappeared in an instant. Dugu Muyou saw that she stood in a wilderness within a moment.

Was it just a house built by Nangong Xun's spiritual qi?

Thinking of this, Dugu Muyou was shocked. She really needed to work harder to reach the level of Nangong Xun.

Dugu Muyou strode forwards in the wilderness. In front of her was the gate of the Jinnan Kingdom. She stood in the distance and looked at the city gate. The bustling crowd was flowing in front of her. She slightly frowned, thinking of the royal family mentioned by Nangong Xun. Without stopping, she passed the city wall and went directly to the outside of the Royal Palace.

With a leap, Dugu Muyou gently landed on a roof. If she lowered her head, she could see the guards and maids walking in rows, and the patrols guarded without any break during the day. Even in the day, they weren't listless at all.

Dugu Muyou looked at the surrounding buildings and finally targeted a palace on the east side. If she guessed right, this should be the residence of the Fifth Prince.

The Fifth Prince was a pivotal man in the royal family. He would participate in any major activities of the Dugus. If the royal family wanted to take any action, the Fifth Prince would do it.

Dugu Muyou leaped, and her black shadow flashed. She landed steadily on the top of the palace.

Dugu Muyou unwrapped a piece of glazed tiles and saw the Fifth Prince drinking tea in the palace. There was nothing special. After observing quietly for a quarter of an hour, Dugu Muyou was about to put the glazed tiles back but saw a man in a black robe walking in from outside and knelt in front of the Fifth Prince.

The Fifth Prince got up and helped the man stand up.

Dugu Muyou was curious that how the Fifth Prince could help an ordinary person. Dugu Muyou didn't know this man. She never saw him in the Dugus.

"Your Highness, things are almost clear," With a smile, the man said. Why was this man so close to the Fifth Prince?

Dugu Muyou continued to observe and saw the Fifth Prince let the man sit in the upper seat. He smiled and said, "Well, thank you. Your benefits will be indispensable after this matter is over."

The man clasped his fists and smiled. "It is my honor to work for you, Your Highness. I don't dare to want anything else. I only hope that you can win soon!"

A light flashed in Dugu Muyou's eyes suddenly. What did this man mean? Could the Fifth Prince usurp the throne? But wasn't the Fifth Prince the crown prince? Why did he do something secretly?

"This time the Dugus' competition is of great importance. You have to pay attention to every move there. I heard that Dugu Muyou has disappeared for some days."

Dugu Muyou was on the roof and heard her name. She was nervous. What did the Fifth Prince mean?

"It's true. During this period of time, people discussed Dugu Muyou a lot. It is hard to say whether she is dead because nobody finds her body."

The Buddha beads in the Fifth Prince's hand were turned around a few times. He turned the beads one by one and nodded, "Although Dugu Muyou is the daughter of the Dugus, she didn't make any progress. We don't need her."

Dugu Muyou heard it with a smile. The Fifth Prince, one day he would be proven wrong. Dugu Muyou was confident about this.

The man nodded respectfully and said, "However, there is a rumor that Dugu Muyou did not die but hid. No one knows the reason."

The Fifth Prince continued to turn the Buddha beads in his hands and said with a secret smile, "It's okay. She isn't important. As long as the Dugus can continue to provide protection for the royal family, everything is okay."

The man smiled and said, "You are right, Your Highness. In order to protect the royal family, the whole Dugus can be sacrificed. A silly little girl is unimportant!"

"Well, you continue to inquire about the news of the Dugus. Tell me the latest news once you find it."

"Yes. Your Highness, I'll do it right away!"

"You can go."

Dugu Muyou looked at the Fifth Prince and had an idea in her heart. The Dugu Family was just such a small existence in the eyes of the Fifth Prince of the royal family.

Covering the tile lightly, Dugu Muyou sat quietly on the roof with the wind blowing. Her white robe was blown up by the wind, and she overlooked the palace. She suddenly felt that people were like duckweed. If you didn't get any achievement sooner or later, you would be forgotten by time, and no one would remember you in the end.

The royal family could kill the Dugus as easily as squeeze an ant. This truth was obvious.

After thinking of this, Dugu Muyou flew down from the roof lightly, but she didn't expect that she went to a brothel out of the Royal Palace.

Dugu Muyou's face turned red, and she quickly covered her face and left this place at once. How could she fly to this place? Could it be that her spiritual qi lost control?

At this time, Hua Qingyue, who was half a continent away from Dugu Muyou, was bored and flipping through the books in the study room. The birds and flowers outside the window were lively, and the fruits in front of him were fresh, but he held his head with a dull face.

After he left the Valley of Magical Animals and returned to Taoyuan Wonderland, he felt that everything was boring, and he could not sleep well at night. He couldn't stand it today, so he put down his books and went to Hua Qingshui's residence.

Dugu Muyou wanted to find a place to rest temporarily. It was a pity that the house had been taken away by Nangong Xun. It was not difficult to find an inn in this huge city, but she was afraid of being recognized by others. It was better not to stay in the city in case of unnecessary trouble.

It was late in the evening, and Dugu Muyou sat in a wild forest outside the city alone. She sat on the trunk in the air with one leg hanging and swaying, watching the sunset slowly sliding down. The sky was stained into faintly orange.

"Stupid woman, what are you doing here?"

When Dugu Muyou heard the voice of Blood Fox, she felt very happy. She watched the little soft fox standing on the ground and looking up at her. Dugu Muyou felt relaxed. "Tell me the advantages of your Lord. Is he nice? Why did he only let me live in such a big house one day?"

Blood Fox scratched its ears with its little paws. It was not sure that Dugu Muyou said that. Then it raised its neck, smiled, and said enchantingly, "If you want to find a place to live, you can just say it. Although the Jinnan Kingdom does not belong to my Lord, which is not as magnificent as the Bishui Palace, it is not difficult to find a place to rest for you."

Dugu Muyou lowered herself and looked at Blood Fox, "What is the Bishui Palace?"

Blood Fox blinked and nodded obediently, "The Bishui Palace is the place where the Lord lives. All the buildings in this imperial city are not bigger than the Bishui Palace. Forget it. Don't you want to find a place to rest? Follow me."

After Blood Fox said that, it walked towards the end of the forest. Dugu Muyou flew down from the tree and followed it.

"The Bishui Palace is a top building in the world, and no building can surpass it so far. The Lord is doing the greatest work in the world, so you have to improve yourself."

Dugu Muyou felt that her position was really embarrassing, comparing with Nangong Xun.
