BXBX NOVEL Chapter 280 Moon Pavilion
"And what of the crown prince?" Liu Feng asked. All the major powers were almost covered. Within the capital, all three families had been taken.
"Big brother has the support of Royal Father. So the Tiandu Sect itself backs the crown prince. And I don\'t need to tell you how big the Tiandu Sect is." Tian Xiu said.
"The sects! I forgot about the seven sects. Are all of them allied?" Liu Feng asked.
"Not all of them. The Moon Pavilion is actually hosting an event in the coming week and whoever is able to win that event can obtain the Moon Pavilion\'s favor." Tian Xiu said.
"And are you entering the event?" Liu Feng asked.
"The event is only for men. I cannot join." she blushed as she shook her head.
"Just what is the event about? Why can\'t women join?" Liu Feng asked.
"Have you been living under a rock for the last year? Did you not hear of the new Moon princess of the Moon Pavilion? The beauty that everyone has been lusting after? Apparently, the sect decided to marry her off to make good connections with other sects. Princes, sect disciples, sons of family heads, everyone is heading there right now. If I am not wrong, someone from the Cai family is heading there as well?" she looked at Cai Guo.
"The princess is right. The Cai family cannot forgo this opportunity to make a good relationship with the Moon Pavilion. It remains to be a mysterious existence, an existence that everyone wishes to befriend." Cai Guo nodded.
"I am not sure about marrying a person that I have never heard of. What is her name though, I wonder. This Moon Princess." Liu Feng asked, curious about this new change in the kingdom.
"I think her name is Min Wan? I am not sure. Men would be more interested in this than I am." Tian Xiu said, but the moment that the Moon Princess\' name was spoken, Liu Feng suddenly lost his composure.
"What did you say her name was again?" he asked, his voice brooding.
Tian Xiu frowned at the sudden change in Liu Feng\'s tone. She was a princess, a price actually, who was unused to hearing such a tone.
"Forgive us, princess. My friend here lost his composure because the name is a little familiar to us. Is the princess a new disciple of the Moon Pavilion?" Liu Man held back Liu Feng.
"You will have to go to the Moon Pavilion to know any more details. The important ones, I do not know of." she shook her head.
"Then I am grateful that we have had this talk, and that we are now allies. I am sure that the heavens are looking forward to seeing Liu Feng and then you as the new king. But I think that our stage is no longer at the capital, but rather at Moon Pavilion." Liu Man smiled and said cordially.
"How far is the Moon Pavilion from the capital city, family head?" Liu Feng asked, his voice still brooding.
"Near the outskirts. Of the seven sects, three of them are near the Capital City. There is a reason why this city is the biggest in the entire kingdom. Do you wish to go there immediately? You can rest, and I can send you with our own delegation. I am sure that our younger generation can learn a thing or two from a genius like you, Young Noble." Cai Guo said.
Liu Feng shook his head.
"I would rather not have to explain myself to a bunch of people who think that the world revolves around them. No matter what you do, they are always going to act haughtily, and I am sick of their arrogant faces." Liu Feng shook his head.
"Then I shall arrange for a mount to take you to the Moon Pavilion, Young Noble." Cai Guo nodded, and he suddenly disappeared, leaving Liu Man and Liu Feng alone with Tian Xiu.
"I wonder. Why would you choose to hide your gender? I think that princesses can also fight for the throne?" Liu Feng finally calmed down and looked at Tian Xiu.
Her bright eyes shimmered as she glared at him. She was beautiful by all standards, and if she went out, she would have thousands of suitors lining up after her.
"Men have a much easier time than women, Young Master Feng. What I did, I had to do to protect my mother, and myself. If I want to vie for the throne, and become the ruler, I cannot become a queen. I will have to be the king." Tian Xiu shook her head.
"But your brothers and sisters. The princes and princesses. How do they not know that they have another sister, instead of a brother? Surely they must have noticed when they were young." Liu Feng was shocked that someone kept her gender under wraps for her whole life.
"Only elder brother knows. The crown prince is perhaps the only one who will not kill everyone who fails in this succession war. If the second prince wins, then every prince will flee the kingdom for their life." Tian Xiu sighed.
"Being a royal must have its downfalls. Well, that is bound to happen. But another thing I wanted to ask was about the Cai family. How many Soul Evolution Stage cultivators does the Cai family have?" Liu Feng asked.
"Two. That was the reason why the Cai family was in trouble until recently. The Hong family and another party ambushed an elder of the Cai family, and now the family is down one cultivator. I suspect that the second prince is behind this." she said.
"Until recently? Did something happen recently?"
"What are you saying? You are the one who was allied to the Green Gale tiger of the Hong family, and you don\'t know that the Green Gale tiger threatened to kill any Hong family member who dares leave the capital? For the time being, the Hong family does not dare make any big moves without gauging the strength of Kaishi\'s guardian beast."
"Young noble! Your mount is ready!" at the same time, Cai Guo\'s voice interrupted their conversation.
"Forgive us, princess, but I think it is time that we leave now. I hope that we can continue this conversation at a later time." Liu Feng smiled.
