Chapter 3674: 4.1274 Uninvited Guests

The Little Poker Face scoffed, pushed the little monk towards him, and then returned to her own seat.

The old monk and the little monk exchanged glances.

The little monk asked crisply, "Master, the Female Benefactor told me to ask you, who exactly attacked me in the Northern Watch Great Forest last time?"

The old monk looked at him with a serious expression. "Kongkong, it's not yet time for you to know about this matter."

"By the way, have you had any trouble lately while following Jojo?"

The little monk immediately nodded, his voice milky. "The Female Benefactor herself is a little trouble!"

"Kongyin probably won't reveal the truth to the little monk." Mo Lian saw her return and chuckled softly as he held her small paw.

Besides, who would go inquire about information so openly?

The little fellow already had curiosity written all over his face.

"Kongkong's background must be strange," Qiao Mu snorted. "The old monk knows, but he won't say anything, which is truly vexing."

Mo Lian couldn't help but chuckle, pinching her small hand. "The old monk will definitely let Kongkong continue to follow you for a while."

The Little Poker Face immediately shot a disdainful look at Grand Elder Kongyin, who was smiling opposite her.

He wanted her to help him take care of Kongkong, yet he wouldn't tell her anything. This old man was truly playing a good game.

Seeing the Little Crown Princess sit down and continue eating, the hanging hearts of the crowd slowly settled back into their chests.

So, the Crown Princess just walked over to say a few words to Grand Elder Kongyin? Many people couldn't help but feel their old faces flush.

Why did they always feel that whenever the Little Crown Princess stood up, nothing good would come of it...

As they pondered, a plump eunuch quickly ran in from outside the pavilion door, a few beads of sweat on his forehead, panting, "Your, Your Majesty, the Third City Lord of Shadow City has arrived."

Mo Liusheng raised an eyebrow. Before he could speak, a hearty laugh reached everyone's ears.

Duan Yue turned to look, seeing a middle-aged man in black, wearing a thick cloak, stepping into the room with a cheerful smile.

Behind him followed two young attendants and a woman with a black veil covering her face, her steps light.

The woman was entirely wrapped in a long black dress, her face veiled in black, and even the embellishment on her head was a black mandala flower.

This entirely black attire naturally drew the attention of many officials as she entered the pavilion.

The woman's dress seemed utterly out of place in this lively singing and dancing hall.

She looked completely out of sync with everyone around her.

Moreover, the Third City Lord of Shadow City actually wore a heavy cloak indoors.

It was already June; could he really be wearing such a thick cloak?

Perhaps he had some hidden illness.

Mo Liusheng coldly looked at these uninvited guests. His gaze lingered on the Third City Lord for a long time, then he suddenly smiled. "Third City Lord, your sudden visit, may I know what brings you here?"

The people below began to whisper amongst themselves.

Phantom City, one of the four great cities beyond the three states, its Third City Lord suddenly visiting the Emperor today, so abruptly?

Perhaps those who come with ill intentions do not come with good intentions!

Ying (Shadow) bowed slightly and whispered a few words into Duan Yue's ear.

The latter nodded. "Detain them first. The rest can be discussed after the banquet disperses."

Ying nodded, took a step back, and, while the attention of many in the hall was on the group from Phantom City, quickly left the pavilion.
