You don't want your secret to be revealed by others, right?-Chapter 264 - 46, Array Master_2

"Inviting an Array Master does indeed come at a high price."

The Fourth Prince shook his head, "There's no helping it. The path of arrays is too vast and complex. Without sufficient talent, one simply can't learn it. There are fewer than ten Array Masters in the entire Di Hong City, so naturally each one of them is quite arrogant."

Lin Yue could somewhat understand.

It must be noted that even among those who had reached the status of 'Saint' which he had heard about, most princes and princesses were at least at the level of a 'Saint,' as were some of the commandery princes, along with the Saints from various sects and holy lands. There were definitely more of them than there were Array Masters.

Even though the cultivation of an Array Master was nothing in front of a Saint, talented individuals were truly rare.

Thus, even the princes were quite polite to them.

"Seventeenth brother, I have a suggestion for you."

The Fourth Prince said, "Among the current Array Masters of Di Hong City, five have already become Guest Elders in someone else's manor. The Array Masters that you might be able to invite are only a few, like Master Luo Yun who is most likely the one you can invite."

Lin Yue gave a slight nod.

"Anyway, as your brother, I've said what I needed to say."

The Fourth Prince stood up and said, "I should return to the Manor now. Contact me anytime if you need anything."

After Lin Yue saw the Fourth Prince off to the entrance of Duke Heng's mansion, he turned and went back inside.

"Where is Lord Qi?" Lin Yue asked.

Just now, as he saw the Fourth Prince, Lord Qi had purposely stayed away, giving up the main hall for his reception.

"Your Highness, Lord Qi is appreciating the flowers in the front courtyard." Baili Fengzhi said.

Lin Yue immediately headed to the front courtyard and soon saw Duke Heng's stooped and aged figure, his face bearing heavy signs of fatigue, clearly not able to last much longer.

"Did your Highness have a good talk with the Fourth Prince?" Duke Heng looked towards Lin Yue.

"Yes," Lin Yue nodded slightly and said, "The Fourth Prince suggested that I invite a few Array Masters early to help set up my Prince Mansion. It is said that Master Luo Yun is the most likely to be invited?"

Duke Heng shaking his head with a smile said, "Today, I have already sent invitations to all the Array Masters in the name of your Highness and with the status of my mansion, perhaps we can invite a few to meet you. Unfortunately, Master Luo Yun is already busy with other matters and has declined…"

"Lord Qi has already invited them?" Lin Yue was surprised.

"Your return from the court today naturally means you would pick a location for building the Prince Mansion. What's so difficult to guess about that?"

Duke Heng chuckled and handed a storage ring to Lin Yue, saying, "Your Highness, this storage treasure contains treasures that should be sufficient to invite two Array Masters. When the time comes, it's best if Your Highness personally invites the Array Masters to show sincerity."

Lin Yue glanced at the storage treasure in Duke Heng's hand and thought for a moment, then accepted it.

He wasn't sure if the incomplete Jade Token could invite an Immortal from the human world; if he was overthinking it, he would still need to find Array Masters, so it was not good to refuse.

If it was not needed, he could always return it to Duke Heng.

At this moment—

"What did this old man say, just as we were discussing Array Masters, two have come to meet the appointment."

Duke Heng suddenly laughed, being the master of Duke Heng's mansion, he was naturally very clear about who was visiting.

"Your Highness, please accompany me to greet them," Duke Heng said. "After all, they are Array Masters; it is better for Your Highness to be more courteous."

"Lord Qi, rest assured, I understand," Lin Yue nodded slightly, "Respecting the virtuous is how it should be."

"Good to know Your Highness understands," Duke Heng nodded smilingly.

Thus, Lin Yue followed Duke Heng towards the main entrance of Duke Heng's mansion.

"Lord Qi, may I know which two Array Masters have come to visit?" Lin Yue asked.

"One is the Loose Cultivator Qi Zhewu, and the other is Zhangqing Sect's Dong Yan Fairy," Duke Heng said. "Qi Zhewu, though often demanding high prices and bold in his negotiations, truly excels in his comprehension of arrays; he is quite versatile in handling arrays. As for Dong Yan Fairy, she is rather young and focuses more on her cultivation. Although she is an Array Master too, her mastery of arrays tends towards Killing Arrays and Trapping Arrays, which might not be as useful to Your Highness."

"From Zhangqing Sect?"

Lin Yue, hearing this, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.

Could it be that Dong Yan Fairy from Zhangqing Sect was here on the orders of the Immortal Bi Xuyuan Jun from the same sect to help him?

Before long,

Lin Yue accompanied Duke Heng to the guest reception hall, and saw two people already sitting inside.

One was a middle-aged man in a luxurious robe, casually enjoying tea with two High-Level Cultivators standing behind him as guards.

The other was a woman in a Daoist robe with a cold demeanor, beautiful indeed, but her expression was too indifferent.

These two, it seemed, were Array Master Qi Zhewu and Dong Yan Fairy from Zhangqing Sect.

"Master Qi, Dong Yan Fairy,"

Duke Heng revealed a smile, "I did not expect that shortly after sending out the invitations, both of you would arrive. I apologize for not meeting you further away."

"Lord Qi and Seventeenth Prince's invitation, how could Qi dare not come?" Qi Zhewu shook his head and smiled, then turned to Lin Yue and bowed, "So this is Seventeenth Prince, truly an extraordinary presence. Qi has long heard of you."

"Master Qi," Lin Yue immediately returned the gesture, and then bowed to Dong Yan Fairy, "Dong Yan Fairy."

Dong Yan Fairy nodded slightly in response and returned the greeting, but said nothing.

After exchanging some pleasantries, where Dong Yan Fairy hardly spoke and looked at Lin Yue, whereas Qi Zhewu seemed not to want to waste time and got straight to the point.

"Your Highness invited Qi here, presumably for the upcoming Prince Mansion, right?" Qi Zhewu looked at Lin Yue and said, "Qi is willing to help Your Highness with this matter. Whatever number of array layers Your Highness wants, Qi will arrange that many."
