The Only Male Emperor in a Female-dominated World

Chapter 288 Courtyard Turbulence



Chapter 288 Courtyard Turbulence

Seeing that the other party seemed to have been holding it in for a long time, Chen Lingjun had no choice but to compromise.

"Okay, let's make a deal beforehand. You're not allowed to pull the tail too hard, or you'll be dead."

"I know, I know."

.........

The yard where Chen Lingjun lives was Wen Qian's former residence, so its safety is beyond doubt.

No one can enter unless he agrees.

It was noon the next day and there was a heavy rain.

Wen Qian, who had just finished dealing with some business, walked into the mansion and immediately asked the guard.

"Where's the Star Lord? He hasn't gone out yet."

The guard replied, "Your Excellency, the Star Lord has been staying in the mansion and has not gone out."

She breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good. Let's go and take a look."

After arriving outside the courtyard, he informed the guards and then stood there waiting.

But after waiting for a few minutes, I received the message that I could go in. When I arrived at the courtyard, I saw two figures sitting at a stone table, seemingly discussing something.

Because it had just rained, the air was moist and the scent of soil and flowers wafted into my nostrils.

However, there seems to be a special smell mixed in it.

"Your subordinate greets the Star Lord."

Chen Lingjun stood up and said with a smile: "Priest Wen is here, please take a seat, I am discussing important matters with Taoist Ren."

Wen Qian sat down beside the two of them, her face full of confusion, "Oh? I wonder what's so important that it takes two days and one night to discuss it?"

"Ahem, it's like this. In view of the meritorious service rendered by Fellow Daoist Ren in killing the evil general, I intend to appoint him as the advance priest and send him to the Northern Territory to investigate the situation."

Chen Lingjun explained.

Wen Qian had heard about the relocation plan a long time ago and agreed with it very much.

She was smart and quickly realized that the man wanted to use Ren Lengzhi as cannon fodder. She was full of admiration for Chen Lingjun's clever tactics.

On the surface it is a reward, but in reality it is just making full use of the resources and acting as a tool.

"Okay, I have no objection. How about you, Mr. Ren?"

Ren Lengzhi cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, I will do my best and not let the Star Master down."

Wen Qian nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, then I wish you great success, and I'll treat you to a drink when you get to the Northern Territory."

I sighed that the two of them were really hard-working. They must have stayed up all night discussing the specific plan, and their foreheads were covered with sweat.

Especially the Star Lord, his face turned red with tiredness.

Then she stated her purpose, saying that tomorrow was the people's discussion meeting, and they all wanted to see the Star Lord.

So I have come here to petition on behalf of the people.

"No problem, you can just pick me up tomorrow."

Now Chen Lingjun just wanted to get rid of the other party as soon as possible, so he agreed to everything to avoid being discovered by him.

"Okay, then I won't disturb Star Lord from resting."

After stating her purpose, Wen Qian turned and left, leaving the space for the two of them.

As soon as he arrived outside the courtyard, a close confidant came forward and whispered, "Priest, the high priest has replied."

"Oh? Let me see."

She hurriedly took the envelope and opened it, only to see eight big words written on it.

Ensure safety and escort back to the palace.

"Strange, why doesn't the high priest come to receive it himself?"

Wen Qian frowned slightly.

According to how much the high priest values the Star Lord, he would definitely come to pick him up in person. Could something have happened?

In the courtyard, Chen Lingjun breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was not discovered, otherwise, the situation would be very serious.

"Um...shall we continue?"

Ren Lengzhi shamelessly came up to him and touched him randomly with her delicate hands.

Chen Lingjun rolled his eyes at the other person and slapped his hands away. "That's all for today. Go back and have a rest."

After saying that, he turned around and went back to the house, but the other party had time to react.

Of course Ren Lengzhi would not give up. She let the guards see her walking out of the courtyard, but she sneaked back secretly.
