Chapter 334 - 334: Heavenly Lotus

"Yeah. The secret of the wine," The man said smilingly as he pointed towards the wine bottle in his hand.

"The wine is the greatest attraction of the Fragrance Pavilion and it can stimulate the Qi inside a person's body. It can make them gain a small boost in cultivation, but if there was really such a wonderful thing in this world, wouldn't there be wars over it?" the man told Long Chen with an amused smile on his face.

"Indeed," Long Chen responded.

"The wine isn't as miraculous as it's first sip would make you believe. The wine only gives a small boost to the cultivators that drink or for the first time. No matter how much you drink it after that, your cultivation won't increase," The man said as he glanced at Long Chen.

"Oh, Thanks for the explanation," Long Chen thanked him for solving a question he had.

The man couldn't help but laugh proudly.

"It's alright. I'm the bigger person, I should educate the ignorant kids," He said.

"Yeah, You're indeed the older person. Your daughter is really lucky to have a father like you," Long Chen said as he took a glance at the blonde girl.

*cough* *cough*

The man couldn't help but cough extensively as soon as he heard Long Chen's statement.

"I'm not that old! Also, I'm not her father! I'm her elder brother!" The man let out loudly.

"Oh? my mistake. I thought that you were her father as she looked so young and you looked so... Ahm, anyway, I'm Tian Shen. What's your name?" Long Chen asked.

He didn't tell him his real name since he had taken an oath in front of Lang Jing that he won't talk about himself or about Lang Jing and the people in front of him were from the Beast Hall. He gave out fake information.

"Tian Shen? That's a pretty cool name. I'm Mu Fan and this is my sister Mu Xin," The man said with a wide smile.

"Your last name is Mu? Are you the members of the Mu Clan in this city?" Long Chen inquired.

"Yeah. Our father is the Clan Master of the Mu Clan. We live outside and came back for a few days to visit our clan," Mu Fan told Long Chen.

"Oh, that's nice. I'm new to this city as well. It's a nice city," Long Chen replied.

"Yup. It is indeed a nice city. It is even better normally, but because of the assassination attempt on the Prince, everyone is on high alert," Mu Fan said as he sighed.

"Yeah, I heard about that. I personally think that it's useless though. If the assassin isn't caught until now, he has most probably escaped. This whole thing looks useless at the moment," Long Chen let out softly

"I agree that this thing is useless. It is also possible that he has escaped. If he was able to escape from the Royal palace despite him being caught, it would be strange if he wasn't able to escape the city," Mu Fan let out with a thoughtful look on his face.

As Long Chen was having a discussion with Mu Fan, the Second Prince had returned to the Royal Palace.

As he walked towards his rooms, he managed to see his brother at some distance.

"Brother!" He called out as he ran towards Crown Prince Rui Yao.

"Yu? You're back from the brothel so soon?" Crown Prince Rui Yao inquired.

"Ah, I didn't feel like staying there anymore," Second Prince Rui Yu said.

"Oh? I guess you're finally growing up. Alright, I'm leaving. Go back to your room," Rui Yao said as he left, leaving Rui Yu behind.

From the beginning till the end, Rui Yao looked as expressionless as always.

'It would be suspicious if I ask him to open the treasury right now. I'll ask him tomorrow,
