Chapter 329: War Begins

Lou Qing’s eyes were filled with coldness as he swept over the figures outside the palace.
As expected, Lou Mu Yan had foresight, otherwise the treatment would’ve been disturbed by these people half-way.

“Where’s Si Nan?” Lou Mu Yan heard the noise outside but there was no sound of Si Nan, so she turned to ask Lou Qing.

Lou Qing replied: “He went to check the news of Yan’zhou Kingdom.
It seems that something happened.”

“I see!” Lou Mu Yan rubbed her chin, looked at the beauty on the bed and asked: “After she wakes up, will you take her away?”

Lou Qing froze, obviously not expecting her to ask such a question, then smiled bitterly: “You saw through it?”

“Mm.
Does she know?” Lou Mu Yan nodded.

In her opinion, this man being able to give up his future and stay by the side of a woman who was likely to die at any moment for ten years, was something that not everyone could do.
Either way, he was definitely more trustworthy than that bright yellow figure outside.

“She probably doesn’t.
We’re martial brother and sister.
During a training experience, she met Si’tu Yi and was taken to the palace.
When I found her, she had already given birth to Little Nan.”

Lou Qing scoffed at himself, “Although she lived in suffering before, but she never thought of leaving that man.
How could I take her away?”

“Maybe everything will be different when she wakes up this time.” Lou Mu Yan smiled lightly.

Lou Qing didn’t know that the person who fell under the Water Illusion Nether Dream actually knew everything that happened when they’re asleep.
The pills she fed her afterwards not only would help her wake up as soon as possible, but would also helped her to deepen her memory of the past decade.

One man only came to see her occasionally, and didn’t deal with the person who harmed her, still favouring the harem beauties; while one man guarded her for ten years as if to him it were only one day.
Who was the most sincere to Si Nan’s Concubine Mother, this time, she used her life to verify it.

“Ha, I hope.” Lou Qing lowered his head to restrain the pain in his eyes.

“This is the most complete collection of Spiritual Herbs on the continent.
Your medical skills are so brilliant, and you’re a Grade 3 Alchemist.
I believe you can use it.”

Lou Qing recovered his composure, and he took out a jade slip and handed it to Lou Mu Yan, “This can be considered a thank you gift.
If there’s a need in the future, as long as I can help, I’ll definitely do my best.”

Lou Mu Yan took the jade slip and used her Mental Energy to sweep through it.
Her eyes lowered with a hint of pleasant surprise.
She didn’t expect Lou Qing to have such a complete introduction to Spiritual Herbs, even accompanied by images.

Many of the Spiritual Herbs in the jade slip had different names to the Immortal Cultivation World, but their familiar appearances jumped out to her, which was indeed useful to her.

“Thank you!” Lou Mu Yan accepted it without being polite, then after thinking about it, took out a jade pendant and handed it to Lou Qing, saying: “If she agrees to leave with you and you have nowhere to go, you can go to the Lou Clan.”

Regardless of whether Lou Qing will go to the Lou Clan or not, it could be regarded as tying a good knot between him and the Lou Clan.

“Alright!”

Seeing Lou Qing put away the jade pendant, Lou Mu Yan’s lips rose in an arc.
She raised her head and looked out the door coldly, then with a thought, the Array Flag returned to her hand.

Immediately, Si’tu Yi led people to barge in, and when he saw Lou Mu Yan and Lou Qing, he paused, his eyes filled with surprise.

“I wonder what Emperor is doing here?” Lou Qing glanced at Si’tu Yi blankly.

Si’tu Yi didn’t care about Lou Qing’s attitude, and said with a smile: “I didn’t expect Great Master Lou to be here.
I received news from the Secret Guards that someone might want to persecute Qian’er, so I brought people here.”

“Is the person who Emperor said had bad intentions, me?” Lou Mu Yan’s expression turned cold, “It’s only me and Great Master Lou here.”

Si’tu Yi didn’t expect Lou Mu Yan to be this bold, but this woman was his son’s sweetheart and a pupil of the Eight Extremes Sect that they managed to dig to them after so much effort, so he naturally wouldn’t blame her for any small mistakes.

“Of course zhen is not referring to Young Miss Lou.” Si’tu Yi smiled lightly, then the conversation took a sharp turn, “But I wonder why Young Miss Lou is here along with Great Master Lou, and also arranged an Array to prevent others from entering?”

In his opinion, Lou Mu Yan couldn’t arrange such an Array, and he implied that it was Lou Qing who he was questioning.

Just as the two were about to answer, suddenly, a cold voice came from behind.

“They were all invited by me to treat Concubine Mother.
You have no right to question them.” Si Nan walked in quickly with a cold expression and blocked in front of Lou Mu Yan and Lou Qing.

Although Si’tu Yi knew that his son always behaved like this towards him, but he was very displeased, “Then how is the treatment of your Concubine Mother?”

“This, you don’t need to worry about.” Si Nan immediately revealed a happy smile, and he approached Si’tu Yi and said: “You better go to the palace of that Concubine Xian quickly.
If you go late, you may not be able to save the life of your precious son.”

“What did you do?” Si’tu Yi’s expression sank, and he asked with anger: “He’s your blood-related elder brother.”

He completely believed that Si Nan would kill Si Yu.

“My Concubine Mother only gave birth to me.” Si Nan snorted disdainfully.

“You’re really unreasonable.” Si’tu Yi took a deep breath to suppress the urge to slap Si Nan, flicked his sleeves, turned around, and left with the others.

Si Nan’s eyes flashed with sadness, and the expectations he had left for his father in his heart completely dissipated.

“Mu Yan, has Concubine Mother’s poison been cured?” He pressed his lips together and asked.

“Cured.
If there’s no accident, she’ll wake up tonight.” Lou Mu Yan had never seen Si Nan’s desolate look like just now, but she couldn’t comfort him either.
What this man needed wasn’t comfort nor persuasion.

Si Nan’s peach-blossom shaped eyes burst into joy, “It’s really cured, Concubine Mother’s finally waking up.”

Lou Mu Yan reached out and patted Si Nan’s shoulder, “I’m tired now, I’ll go back to my room to rest first.
Go see your Concubine Mother.”

She could see that Si Nan and Lou Qing had things to say to each other, so she left on purpose.

As the night grew darker, there was a knock at Lou Mu Yan’s door.

“Need something?” Lou Mu Yan opened the door and welcomed Si Nan in.

Si Nan sat down and said: “A mere ‘thank you’ is an insufficient response to such a huge favour.
Just tell me where I can help in the future.”

Then he handed an interspatial ring to Lou Mu Yan: “This is a material thank you.
I’ll keep the personal favour in my heart first and use it when you need it.”

“Alright!” Lou Mu Yan accepted the interspatial ring without hesitation.
In addition to the ten thousand Spiritual Stones inside, there were also many precious Spiritual Herbs.

“By the way, Yan’zhou Kingdom and the Po’luo Kingdom are at war.” Si Nan handed Lou Mu Yan a copy of some fresh news.

Lou Mu Yan took it over and read it once, her face growing more and more solemn, “According to the information you’ve collected, Po’luo Kingdom starting war has been planned for no less than a decade?”

“Yes.
Not only that, but there are so many Sword Masters of high cultivation bases.
It seems that they have some kind of energy that can forcibly improve one’s cultivation base.” Si Nan said with furrowed brows.

Lou Mu Yan’s eyes grew colder.
It seemed that the people who colluded with the Gu Clan to attempt to assassinate her and her brothers were the ones from Po’luo Kingdom.

Po’luo Kingdom choosing to go to war at this time was probably because she and her elder brother achieved good results in the Continental Tournament for Hegemony and were also attracted by a Sect, which made them feel a sense of crisis.

“How’s the current battle situation?”

Si Nan replied: “The situation in Yan’zhou Kingdom isn’t optimistic.
Both your paternal grandfather and your father went to war in person and rushed to the frontier.

“Originally, both sides were evenly matched at the beginning of the war, but since those mysterious men in black appeared, the situation has turned one-sided.
Now Po’luo Kingdom has the upper and.” Si Nan said truthfully.

Lou Mu Yan narrowed her eyes, looked up, and said: “Si Nan, I need your help now.”

“Alright!” Si Nan nodded without hesitation.
