Chapter 231: Chapter 216: Collecting Debts at Prince An’s Residence! Such a Ruthless Man!

Qingling Prefecture!

At this moment, outside the city gates of the Qingling Prefecture, in a place unseen by others.

Suddenly!

After a flash of purple light, a man wearing a dark black embroidered robe abruptly appeared there.

"Hmph, in this world, who dares owe Lu Xuan a debt and not repay it."

"You might escape, but your dwelling can’t run away. I don’t believe, Prince An, that you can move the entire mansion to the capital."

After leaving Qingyun County, Lu Xuan didn’t depart from Anzhou directly but planned to reclaim a debt first.

Then, he wanted to see if there was anyone at the Prince An’s Mansion who could threaten his family.

If there was, Lu Xuan would mercilessly handle these troubles.

Prince An’s Mansion!

Ever since Prince An was summoned back to the capital by an imperial edict, he had isolated himself, unlike his previous flamboyant and carefree manner.

Deep within the Prince An’s Mansion, in a hidden and heavily guarded complex, this was a place only accessible to the core high-level members of the mansion.

In the entire Prince An’s Mansion, only five people were qualified to enter.

These five were the Cyan Robe Guard leader Chen Luomeng, the mansion steward Yue Ze, deputy steward Cheng Yingliang, and the commander of Prince An’s personal guard, Huang Yong.

And the other person was the Cyan Robe Guard deputy leader already killed by Lu Xuan, Lin Yu.

In the council hall of this courtyard, a few figures were already seated.

An elder in a black satin robe sat in the first position on the left side.

Opposite the elder, on the right side, sat two people, a man and a woman.

These three were the Cyan Robe Guard leader Chen Luomeng, mansion steward Yue Ze, and deputy steward Cheng Yingliang.

This meant that, except for the commander of Prince An’s personal guard Huang Yong, all other core members were present here.

"Chen Luomeng, have your Cyan Robe Guards found out anything about this Lu Xuan’s background?

Don’t tell me, after over a month, your Cyan Robe Guards have come up with nothing."

On the left chair, the mansion steward Yue Ze, his eyes barely open, appeared half-asleep as his aged hands rested on the chair arms.

After Yue Ze spoke, Chen Luomeng dared not delay, parting her lips slightly, her voice gentle yet firm.

"Reporting to the steward, that Lu Xuan’s background is too mysterious."

"Even his appointment as the White Dao Prefecture Profound Envoy was a sudden event."

"Even those within the Profound Bird Guard have no clue about Lu Xuan’s origins."

"We’ve bribed several Profound Bird Guards of White Dao Prefecture, yet still couldn’t ascertain Lu Xuan’s background."

"Perhaps..."

Just as Chen Luomeng intended to continue, the mansion steward Yue Ze opened his eyes, showcasing deep dissatisfaction on his face.

"Useless!"

"How could Prince An allow a useless person like you to command the Cyan Robe Guards?"

"You can’t even uncover Lu Xuan’s origins, so what use do we have for your Cyan Robe Guards!"

Insulted by Yue Ze, Chen Luomeng’s expression turned extremely unpleasant, her fair hands clenched tightly, as if suppressing her anger.

As Prince An’s personal entourage and the Cyan Robe Guard leader, this damned old man shows no courtesy at all.

However, considering the old man’s status in the mansion, Chen Luomeng chose not to react.

This old Yue is Prince An’s true martial arts teacher, appointed by the late emperor himself for Prince An.

Luo Jin, that old man, merely seeks fame; he’s a joke in front of Yue Ze.

Yue Ze’s martial prowess is the highest in the Prince An’s Mansion, second only to Prince An himself.

With a Minor Success in External Gang Grandmaster level, he’s also stepping into Great Success.

In short, if anyone in the Prince An’s Mansion has the qualification to reach Great Success in External Gang Grandmaster, it’s this Yue Ze.

This old Yue is not like Lin Yu, who just stepped into Minor Success in External Gang Grandmaster.

Ignoring Chen Luomeng’s embarrassment, Yue Ze directed his gaze at the elder sitting next to Chen Luomeng and spoke harshly.

"Hmph, relying on your Cyan Robe Guards, we’ll never uncover Lu Xuan’s background."

"You Cyan Robe Guards don’t need to worry about this; Old Cheng, it’s up to you to handle this."

"If necessary, secretly infiltrate the Profound Bird Guard of White Dao Prefecture."

"Capture a few Profound Bird Guards, torture them for information to find out which Profound Bird Guard is closest to Lu Xuan, then target them."

Deputy steward Cheng Yingliang furrowed his brows slightly upon hearing this, seemingly pondering something.

"Old Yue, isn’t it rash to move against the Profound Bird Guard suddenly?"

"Hmph, what’s the big deal if a few City Mansion Xuan Bird Guards die."

"Besides, with your Minor Success in External Gang Grandmaster skills, be cautious, and it’s impossible for Lu Xuan to discover you."

Yue Ze disregarded Cheng Yingliang’s concerns.

That cursed Lu Xuan dared to insult Prince An.

Reckless fool, don’t think just because you have Great Success in External Gang Grandmaster skills, you can do as you wish in Anzhou.

Prince An doesn’t just have people like us. When Prince An left, he contacted a family in the capital.

The Wu family!

Just recently, a message arrived that a person of high status from the Wu family will arrive in Anzhou to deal with Lu Xuan on behalf of the Prince.
