The group of people waited like this for a while, but Zu An still did not appear.
Bi Linglong's originally excited and expectant heart gradually sank.
At this time, Gu Xing said dissatisfiedly: "Linglong, that guy probably doesn't dare to come, but don't worry, with us brothers protecting you, this trip will be absolutely fine."
Bi Linglong forced a smile: "One more person means more strength."
Gu Heng also spoke: "It seems that the Crown Princess values Master Zu very much."
"Isn't that right? This time, there was originally a quota for someone who was above the seventh grade to follow him into the secret realm, but the Crown Princess chose him instead of taking me." Rong Mo pouted, with deep resentment in his tone.
"Don't talk nonsense, this is the result of everyone's comprehensive consideration." Bi Linglong glared at her, this girl was becoming more and more unruly.
The Gu brothers looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes. They had been in the Bi family for many years, so of course they knew Rong Mo's weight.
Although this woman looks young on the outside, her actual age is not that young, otherwise she would never have been able to reach level 7 or above.
It's just that because she was adopted by the Bi family since she was a child and practiced in isolation, her mental age is much younger than her actual age, so she was sent to Bi Linglong as a personal maid. From this, we can also see that the relationship between the Bi family and
Bi Linglong's trust in her.
But this time, for such an important matter as the Crown Prince Examination, Bi Linglong didn't take her with her, but chose Zu An. It's self-evident what this means.
Either Zu An's cultivation level is far better than Rong Mo's, or he is more important to the Crown Princess.
Rong Mo is already at the seventh level. Zu An is young and grew up in the market. He has not had systematic and professional training since he was a child. How can he be far better than her?
So in their opinion, the more likely reason is the latter.
Thinking of this, the two of them felt a deep sense of crisis.
Gu Heng thought for a while and said: "Princess, if Mr. Zu never comes, will so many of us just keep waiting here? It doesn't matter for us brothers to wait, but it doesn't matter if the prince also waits here.
It’s appropriate, and if you miss the time to enter the secret realm later, you will be in big trouble.”
Gu Xing secretly admired that his eldest brother obviously had the same ideas as him, but he could always use some high-sounding reasons to cover up his purpose. Normally, he thought this was very hypocritical, but at this time, he felt that his eldest brother was so cute.
Hearing his words, the big fat man beside him also started making noise: "Yes, yes, it's so boring to sit here."
Seeing the prince's reaction, Gu Heng and Gu Xing both secretly exchanged glances, and the corners of their lips unconsciously raised slightly.
Seeing the big fat man's noisy appearance, he didn't look like a prince at all. A trace of disappointment flashed in Bi Linglong's eyes, and she said lightly: "Momo, you escort the prince to the National College first. I'll go to Lord Zu's house to see him first."
look."
"Okay, okay, let's go to the National College to play." The prince looked excited and was about to walk out.
Rong Mo didn't have time to say anything, so he could only follow in a hurry to escort the prince. Many guards in the East Palace also hurriedly followed.
The Gu brothers did not move, and they said: "In that case, let us brothers protect the crown princess. We also want to see how heroic Mr. Zu is."
Bi Linglong actually went to the other party's home to find someone in person. This favor made them both jealous and envious, so they naturally wanted to follow him to see what happened.
The Crown Princess frowned, she could clearly sense their hostility towards Zu An, and it was not a good idea to take them there.
However, she then thought that it would be beneficial to the mission if they had to stay in the secret realm for many days and let them get in touch with Zu An as soon as possible and get to know each other better, so she nodded and called Pu Duandiao and Jiao Siguang outside to join them.
, after all, she has never been to Zu An's house.
Zu An's mansion was in the inner city. A group of people quickly arrived outside the house. Bi Linglong didn't let anyone know, but walked directly into the house.
When the servants in the mansion saw the Crown Princess coming, they all hurriedly saluted. Bi Linglong looked left and right but did not see Zu An's figure: "Where is Mr. Zu?"
"Master Zu went out early in the morning." A maid replied.
"Going out?" Bi Linglong was a little surprised, so why didn't she see him?
Did he really have an accident on the road?
Thinking of this, she felt nervous and hurriedly asked Pu Duandiao who was standing aside: "Guard Pu, is there any fighting in the inner city today?"
Pu Duandiao shook his head: "I didn't receive such a message."
Bi Linglong frowned suddenly, where was he?
You must know that this is the inner city. With Zu An's cultivation level, it is impossible for him to be controlled without making a sound.
At this time, Gu Xing said with a smile: "Could it be that you know that the secret realm is dangerous and you dare not go there for fear of losing your life?"
The prince is not here at this time, so he naturally doesn't have to worry about talking about danger.
Jiao Siguan on the side snorted: "Master Zu is not that kind of person."
Along the way, he heard these two people constantly saying bad things about Zu An, which made him feel angry.
"You know people but don't know their hearts. Now the facts are in front of you. He did not show up as promised." Gu Xing spread his hands and said.
"Maybe Mr. Zu has some other things to delay." Pu Duandiao also helped to explain.
Gu Heng frowned slightly. It seemed that Zu An was very popular in the East Palace. Even the two young captains of guards spoke for him in this way.
Gu Xing sneered: "Is there anything more important today than the prince's exam?"
Pu Duandiao was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to respond.
At this time, Gu Xing took a look into the room and said, "Maybe Mr. Zu is pretending to go out, but is actually hiding in the house."
After saying that, he went into the room to look for someone. Because the princess was here, the servants in the palace did not dare to stop him, so they could only follow behind him in a hurry.
Bi Linglong hesitated for a moment. In fact, she was a little angry now. Zu An had obviously agreed to her, but ended up breaking the promise at such an important moment today. Fortunately, she got up early in the morning to dress up, so she did not stop Gu Xing's behavior.
, she also wanted to see what Zu An was doing.
The anger value from Bi Linglong is +233+233+233...
The house was not big, so Gu Xing quickly finished looking at it. Indeed, there was no sign of Zu An. He smiled and said, "It seems he hid outside."
Gu Heng coughed: "Second brother, please don't make any judgments. Maybe Master Zu has already arrived at the East Palace by now."
Gu Xing sneered: "How is it possible? We just came from the East Palace and didn't even see half of Mao. After all, he was just a street gangster. He didn't do much on weekdays. At critical moments, his nature of greed for life and fear of death was revealed.
.”
"Nonsense," Jiao Siguan retorted, "Master Zu even dared to confront and defeat the eighth-grade Prince Qi, and even tied with the ninth-grade master Han Fengqiu who was traveling with him. How could he be afraid of entering this secret realm?"
At this time, Gu Heng said: "That battle indeed caused a sensation in the entire capital. However, we also studied and investigated afterwards. In that battle, there was actually a top master hiding in the dark. While the prince of Qi used his thunderous ultimate move, he secretly summoned
The water element came out and caused the prince to turn back on himself, which is why he was defeated inexplicably."
"Yes, after all, Mr. Zu is just a businessman. If he is really a genius, why would he choose to be the Chu family's son-in-law?" Gu Xing felt a little guilty when he said this, because he had seen him from afar before.
Taking one look at Chu Chuyan's charm, if such a fairy-like figure really wanted to recruit a son-in-law, he thought he could do it, "Ahem, he is only at the fifth or sixth level of cultivation. If he is as strong as the sky, let's call him a seventh level. So what?
Maybe he won the eighth rank of Prince Qi? Not to mention a draw with Han Fengqiu, that is even more nonsense."
"What is Han Fengqiu's concept? Everyone in the capital knows that he is at the pinnacle of the ninth rank. Such a person can crush the seventh and eighth ranks with just a finger. How can he be tied with a young man? In the end, what Han Fengqiu is worried about is hiding behind
That mysterious master in the dark turned out to be Zu An’s record through false rumors, it’s simply ridiculous!”
Pu Duandiao and Jiao Siguang opened their mouths, but they didn't know how to refute. After all, in their inherent concepts, it was indeed impossible for someone at the peak of the ninth level to be defeated by a leapfrog.
They looked around blankly, Brother Zu, where are you?
