"Alas!"

Cai Kun let out a long sigh. Great Yu has truly made up its mind to eliminate the dangerous Stone Race this time.

But if it fails... it's not just a loss of face, the blow to Great Yu would be enormous.

"Let's cooperate. Since it's already begun, we must go all out."

Chen Xuan patted his shoulder, offering a gesture of comfort.

"By the way, who's going this time?"

Cai Kun naturally knew what he was referring to; after all, such battles definitely required a leader to hold the fort.

"Duke Yuan! He's the most proactive, of course he's going!"

Instantly!

Chen Xuan sensed a hint of something peculiar.

Something feels wrong!

"It seems there must be some hidden story here!"

Chen Xuan thought to himself.

Then he bid farewell to Cai Kun and proceeded to the Ritual Department; the old man has faced such misfortune and still needed some comfort.

When Chen Xuan arrived at the Ritual Department, Kang Bai came out to personally greet him upon hearing the news.

"You rascal, you finally came. You don't know, recently the Chief Eunuch is... alas, I can't even begin to say."

"The Chief Eunuch values you the most, try to persuade him well!"

Kang Bai held his hand; there were some things that could not be said outright. Even he has been on edge during this time, and one could imagine how others felt.

A slight mistake, Liu Sheng would either scold or punish them.

"Got it, where's the Chief Eunuch? I'll go see him!"

"In the study, I'll take you!"

With that, the two hurriedly made their way to Liu Sheng's study.

Inside the study, Liu Sheng was somberly contemplating all of Great Yu's military movements over the past few days.

The Imperial Army, Three Judicial Departments, and even the Dragon Guard had dispatched some experts.

"If other dangerous places also erupt at this time...."

Worry emerged in Liu Sheng's eyes.

Although the Stone Race lacked two masters, there was still Li Mu, that top-tier Spirit Cultivator. The day he killed Li Shen, he didn't think of killing Li Mu along the way, but the aura he exploded with and that terrifying Spiritual Power made even him shudder.

It was evident that Li Mu wasn't easy to deal with.

A top-tier Spirit Cultivator is even tougher than the Stone Race's Three Great Ancestors.

Moreover, the Stone Race's overall strength hasn't weakened much.

This is not a good time to strike.

It might even jeopardize the stability of Great Yu, especially since even the Imperial Army and Three Judicial Departments are mobilized.

If Hidden Kill makes a move, the consequences are unimaginable.

"Damn things!"

Liu Sheng cursed angrily, and at this moment Chen Xuan and Kang Bai arrived at the study door.

Kang Bai pointed to the study, showing a bitter smile.

Chen Xuan smiled and then stepped forward to knock on the door, "Knock knock knock"!

"Chief Eunuch!"

Just as Liu Sheng was about to speak harshly upon hearing the knock, he softened his tone upon hearing Chen Xuan's voice, "Come in!"

Kang Bai was speechless.

Is the gap between people really this big?

It's so unfair!

At this moment Chen Xuan looked back at Kang Bai, clearly asking him if he wanted to enter.

Only to see Kang Bai shaking his head repeatedly; he wouldn't go in, the difference was too much, he needed to calm down a bit.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan pushed open the door to the study and entered alone.

"Greetings, Chief Eunuch!"

Chen Xuan bowed respectfully to Liu Sheng.

"Why are you in the Imperial City? Got something on your mind?"

He knew this kid's nature well enough; he wouldn't show up for nothing, or else he wouldn't have left the Bright Moon Mansion.

"Hehe!"

Chen Xuan smiled naively, "I do have a matter concerning Elder Zhan, but I heard the Chief Eunuch hasn't been in good spirits lately, so I came specifically to check on you, sir."

"Rascal, is this old man really old?"

Liu Sheng glared at him and then sat down. Seeing that he was still standing, he glared again, "Sit on your own, you expect the old man to invite you?"

"How dare I!"

Chen Xuan's face was full of smiles; he then sat beside him. When he saw the tea on the table, he stood up and touched it, finding it a bit cool, he infused the teapot with a spiritual power.

Instantly, the tea boiled.

But thinking it was still insufficient, he commanded the spiritual liquid in his dantian, "Give me a drop of spiritual liquid!"

"Ah—"

The spiritual liquid was dumbfounded; apart from on the Holy Mountain, this was the first time he spoke.

"Hurry up!"

Chen Xuan urged.

"Oh!"

Although unwilling, he reluctantly squeezed out a drop of spiritual liquid, which then appeared at Chen Xuan's fingertip.

"Hmm?"

Liu Sheng made a sound of confusion; such pure energy, he immediately thought, "Mother Liquid?"

"Yes, the Stone Race calls it spiritual liquid."

Chen Xuan placed this drop of spiritual liquid into the teapot, shook it, filled a cup, and then offered it to Liu Sheng, "Calm down, Chief Eunuch, what's done is done, no use being angry."

"Do your best and leave the rest to fate!"

Liu Sheng took the teacup, looking at him, "Easier said than done, but actually doing it is far from easy!"

Then he took a large sip of the tea infused with spiritual liquid.

"Boom!"

Instantly, a wave of pure energy spread throughout his body, even his divine soul in the sea of consciousness felt much more comfortable.

The anger accumulated for many days began to slowly dissipate at this moment, and he felt much more refreshed overall.

"Good stuff, truly good stuff!"

Liu Sheng couldn't help but praise it; it was evident how strong this spiritual liquid was, since it was effective even for him.

Chen Xuan saw Liu Sheng's improved complexion and poured himself a cup, sipping it slightly.

"It is good stuff!"

He nodded repeatedly, the only regret being that there was too little.

Seeing a smile appear on Liu Sheng's face, Chen Xuan also began probing, "Chief Eunuch, why the sudden move against the Stone Race? After all, you and the Nineteen Prince had no intention for this at the start."

"Hmph!"

Liu Sheng snorted coldly and slammed the teacup heavily onto the table, cursing, "Isn't it because of that scoundrel!"

"Duke Yuan?" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Chen Xuan asked tentatively.
