Feng Baizhou watched the sun climb slowly, until it was high noon and the royal ceremony in the palace had ended. By now, the Crown Prince likely had left the palace with the imperial decree and ritual implements to worship at the Imperial Temple, thereby carrying on the Dragon Vein.
Gu Wen had yet to emerge, but Feng could sense that the other was still inside; hence, he was in no rush.
According to the original plan, Zhao Feng should have just finished the enthronement ceremony in the palace and be en route to the Imperial Temple. All Gu Wen needed to do was to serve as the nourishment for the Crown Prince to refine the Taoist Soldiers after the grand ceremony ended, which was his initial purpose.
