Crowned by the Treacherous Big Shot

Chapter 612: Family Reunion



Once Lu Yuan was prepared, he set out for the Cold Palace.

This time, no matter what, Lu Zhaoyan insisted that he bring Ji Feng along.

Yu Zichuan was also among those in the entourage.

"Young master, allow me to go down first."

Ji Feng stood outside the dry well and said.

Lu Yuan replied, "I'll go first to see if anyone has entered before us."

Ji Feng thought for a moment, then stepped aside.

The group brought a bundle of rope to prevent triggering any traps on the ground.

Ji Feng held the rope and slowly lowered Lu Yuan into the dry well.

Lu Yuan held a lit stick, and as he neared the bottom of the well, he spotted a barely noticeable silk thread hooked there.

This was a marker left by Chen Long.

It remained undisturbed, indicating that neither Prince Jin nor Hu Lie's henchmen had beaten them to it.

"Alright, come on down."

After Lu Yuan said this, he released the rope.

With a rumbling sound of turning, Lu Yuan vanished at the bottom of the well.

Without any hesitation, Ji Feng and Yu Zichuan leaped into the dry well.

After they fell into the secret passage, they discovered that the Cold Palace's passageway extended beyond their imagination.

In the pitch-black tunnel, Ji Feng took the lead while Yu Zichuan brought up the rear.

"Young master, I fear we might have already exited the Imperial Palace."

Ji Feng said.

Lu Yuan replied with a nod: "There might be an underground palace below here."

Ji Feng fell into deep thought.

Lu Yuan asked, "You have been with my imperial grandfather for so long, never heard of this passage?"

Ji Feng replied, "No."

"Your father doesn't know either."

Yu Zichuan interjected.

Lu Yuan: "Why talk so much, is it because you've eaten too much salt?"

Idle!

Yu Zichuan thought carefully: "Indeed, the kitchen did add too much salt today."

After walking some more, Ji Feng suddenly stopped.

"Young master, we've reached a fork, there are three paths, which one do we take?"

"The middle one."

"Yes."

Ji Feng continued to lead the way.

After hesitating for a moment, he asked, "Does the young master know the way in the underground palace?"

Lu Yuan: "Just guessing."

Ji Feng: "..."

In this manner, they passed through seven intersections, Lu Yuan always choosing the middle path.

Ji Feng held back several times but finally said, "Young master, isn't this a bit reck…"

Lu Yuan: "We're here."

"less."

Ji Feng silently completed the last word.

An ancient and quiet palace came into view.

The doors of the palace were inlaid with hundreds of Luminous Pearls, shining like moonlight.

Two stone lions stood majestically with their mouths open.

The one on the left held a Luminous Pearl almost the size of a bowl in its mouth.

"Why doesn't this one have one?"

Yu Zichuan pointed at the right stone lion, displaying a deep resentment.

Without a word, Lu Yuan pried off that Luminous Pearl.

Ji Feng glanced at the two in surprise.

Lu Yuan tossed the Luminous Pearl to Ji Feng: "Let's go."

Ji Feng looked at the Luminous Pearl in his hand, his eye twitched.

Yu Zichuan: "Where'd the first one go?"

Without hesitation, Lu Yuan said: "The old man took it."

Ji Feng: "He really is… his favorite grandson."

The unexpected happened as they entered the underground palace.

They accidentally triggered a mechanism, and Yu Zichuan and Ji Feng vanished.

Lu Yuan didn't stop, picked up the Luminous Pearl on the ground and continued forward.

Soon after, a murderous aura came toward him.

Lu Yuan stepped on a wall and narrowly avoided an attack mid-air.

Just as he landed, the Sword Qi from the opponent followed close behind.

Lu Yuan said: "Enough, it's me."

"I know it's you."

Chen Long's heavy sword was poised at Lu Yuan's neck.

Lu Yuan chuckled: "Attempting to murder your future brother-in-law?"

Saying so, he looked behind Chen Long, "If you're watching, watch openly and don't sneak around, planning to escape?"

Lu Qi, having his intentions exposed, unwillingly emerged from behind the Dragon Pillar.

The place they were at resembled an abandoned temple, empty of anything else.

Chen Long sheathed his sword, coldly looking at Lu Qi.

Lu Qi hurriedly said: "I won't escape, is that not enough?"

Chen Long sheathed his sword.

Lu Qi questioned Lu Yuan: "Why did you come here? Do you know you can't get out of here? What are you even doing?"

Lu Yuan, with a half-smile, pointed at Chen Long: "He didn't tell you?"

Lu Qi muttered: "You expect this big ice block to tell me anything useful? Which move to kill someone with?"

Lu Yuan clicked his tongue, seems this kid has truly suffered under Chen Long.

Lu Qi held his stomach: "Did you see an outhouse on your way here?"

"Oh, that way."

Lu Yuan pointed back.

Lu Qi said to Chen Long: "I'm going to the outhouse, follow me if you must."

Chen Long did not follow.

A little over half a moment later, Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow: "He escaped."

Chen Long's expression darkened.

Indeed, Lu Qi had escaped.

Ever since he fell into Chen Long's grasp, he constantly plotted his escape, but Chen Long's martial arts were too formidable, making it impossible for him to escape under his watchful eyes.

Today, Lu Yuan's arrival led Chen Long to lower his guard slightly, providing Lu Qi with this opportunity.
