The Whole World Knows That the Crown Prince Loves Her

“I…”

“You know very well that the ability to foresee the future cannot be used on oneself,” said the Great Priest. “So, what makes you think it’s your reincarnation?”

Chong Yu was at a loss for words and could only look at the Great Priest.

Huang Quan looked at the two of them, feeling a slight itch in her throat. Usually, at such times, she would start coughing uncontrollably…

Sure enough, as soon as the thought crossed her mind, Huang Quan began to cough.

The standoff between Chong Yu and the Great Priest was interrupted as both turned to look at her.

While coughing, Huang Quan waved them off, saying, “Don’t mind me, continue.”

Since the Great Priest knew she had spiritual power and Chong Yu struggled to speak clearly, Huang Quan didn’t hold back and used her spiritual power to gradually calm her cough.

Huang Quan had experienced this before, even during competitions, and had recovered quickly, so the Great Priest wasn’t worried about her. He continued to focus on Chong Yu.

Facing the Great Priest’s gaze, Chong Yu said, “I guessed. I don’t have any proof.”

Chong Yu could sense that the Great Priest didn’t like the idea of reincarnation. Not knowing the exact reason, he chose not to provoke him. He feared that if he angered the Great Priest, he might not get to see Rong Mian. He had waited for so long and had failed several times to see Rong Mian in the city. He didn’t want to miss this chance and couldn’t afford to anger them; they were his only hope.

The Great Priest pressed his lips tightly together, his gaze dark and intense as he looked at Chong Yu. Finally, he said nothing and instead turned to Huang Quan. “We’ve found the person. What should we do next?”

Huang Quan, still coughing, couldn’t respond immediately. After a while, when her cough subsided, she said, “Take him into the city.”

“If I follow you into the city, I will bring trouble upon you,” Chong Yu knew he couldn’t see Rong Mian without entering the city, but he couldn’t hide the danger it posed.

“The living dead body is well-suited to some things in the city,” Huang Quan initially wanted to mention souls directly but remembered the Great Priest’s earlier remark that no one had ever seen a soul. She refrained from being explicit and instead said, “So every time you enter the city, it’s a life-or-death situation for you, right?”

Chong Yu was surprised that Huang Quan knew so much and nodded, saying, “You’re right.”

“Then you don’t need to worry,” Huang Quan said. “Follow us into the city, and I will ensure your safety. I won’t let those things harm you.”

Chong Yu was delighted, but as a living dead, no matter how happy he was, his eyes remained dim.

Huang Quan understood his thoughts and said, “Put on your hood. We’ll take you into the city.”

Since the two looked identical, and one of them was the Great Priest, if they didn’t cover up, it would attract even more attention once they returned to the city.

Chong Yu also knew that their resemblance couldn’t be discovered. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have fled earlier, even allowing the Great Priest to take half of his map.

After putting on the hood, they all walked toward the city.

“Huang Quan,” the Great Priest asked, taking advantage of the absence of others besides Chong Yu, “What exactly did you encounter on the third level?”

“Why do you need to find him?”

“The one behind all this said that if we couldn’t find what Rong Mian cared about…” Huang Quan caught herself and changed her words. “If we couldn’t find someone he cared about, we wouldn’t reach the final level.”

The Great Priest was skeptical. “Just because of that?”

“Not only that,” Huang Quan replied. “He also said that if I agreed to search, he would tell me about my brother’s situation.”

Regarding Nangong Mian, it was not surprising that Huang Quan agreed.

The Great Priest asked, “How is he?”

“The one behind all this said everything is fine.”

The Great Priest was somewhat reassured. “That’s good.”

Huang Quan, hearing this, stopped and looked at the two of them. “But now I feel it’s not good at all.”

The Great Priest and Chong Yu looked at her, confused, not understanding why she said that.

Seeing their bewildered faces, Huang Quan felt exhausted.

Same name, same appearance, and now the idea of reincarnation; Huang Quan was deeply worried.

It was rumored that the Great Priest was like the moon in the sky, cold and distant. He was indeed cold to her, but he showed an inexplicable concern for her brother. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have suggested her brother stay in the Tianqi Empire as his disciple back then.

With such a puzzling attitude and everything that happened here, it was hard for Huang Quan not to overthink.

She worried that her brother and the Great Priest might have some connection to someone in Luoyou City.

However, there was some good news.

She hadn’t seen any marks on her brother’s wrist…

Looking at the Great Priest, Huang Quan asked, “Have you ever wondered why, among so many people, only my brother is missing?”

Hearing this, the Great Priest immediately understood.

At first, he didn’t know, but after everything that happened, he had a vague suspicion. However, he couldn’t tell Huang Quan and had no way to explain it.

But if he didn’t say anything, Huang Quan would be suspicious.

After thinking for a moment, the Great Priest said, “Maybe it’s because of you.”

Huang Quan raised an eyebrow. “Because of me?”

“Yes,” the Great Priest responded. “Nangong Mian is your brother. The one behind this can use him to threaten you. No one else could be used to threaten you like he can.”

“Moreover, in the tower realm, only you know things that we don’t. This indicates that the one behind all this needs you to do something,” the Great Priest continued. “This further explains why he took your brother; it has to do with you.”

After listening, Huang Quan smiled without saying anything and turned to continue walking.

The Great Priest watched her back, feeling a heavy weight on his mind.

Huang Quan was very smart. She would not believe his words outright and would definitely have her suspicions, but saying more would only lead to more mistakes. He lowered his eyes, hiding the fleeting darkness in them, and followed Huang Quan toward the city as if nothing had happened.

The closer they got to the city, the more nervous Chong Yu became. This indicated he had suffered greatly at the hands of the souls in the city.

But there was something strange.

After entering the city, apart from the soul of that demon woman, Huang Quan hadn’t seen any other souls. According to what the woman said, there hadn’t been many souls in a long time.

One soul alone wouldn’t scare Chong Yu so much. Could it be that… the city had some special feature?

Thinking of this, Huang Quan moved to stay parallel with Chong Yu so that if anything happened, she could protect him instantly.

The Great Priest didn’t know what Huang Quan was thinking, but for Chong Yu’s safety, he also slowed down his pace.

They moved in parallel until they reached the city gate and finally stepped into the city together.

“Whoosh!”

The moment they crossed the gate, a gust of cold wind suddenly hit them, followed by countless souls rushing down from the dead air, baring their fangs and claws at Chong Yu!

Damn!

Seeing those souls, Huang Quan understood why she hadn’t seen them before.

A ghost formation!

And it was a ghost formation targeted at specific people. If someone who wasn’t the target entered the city, the ghost formation wouldn’t activate. Souls were naturally invisible to ordinary people, and without the activation of the ghost formation, it was as if they didn’t exist. Thus, they wouldn’t be noticed. The only time they would be noticed was when the formation activated!
