Chapter 3960: 4.1560 Yun Piaomiao's Message

At that moment, Mo Lian was herding the three playful puppies from the courtyard into the house. He suddenly noticed the mechanical bird on the windowsill, his eyes subtly shifting. He lightly poked the mechanical bird with his finger.

The bird's beak opened and closed, and Yun Piaomiao's voice emerged: "Student Qiao, please return to the academy immediately. There's something extremely important I need to discuss with you."

Mo Lian frowned slightly, his gaze fixed on the bird. The mechanical bird, having completed its task, flew from the windowsill, its wooden wings flapping, growing smaller and smaller in the twilight until it vanished into the sky as a tiny black dot.

While Yun Piaomiao wasn't the most reliable person, he wouldn't send a mechanical bird to find them for trivial matters. This meant that Dean Yun truly had something important to discuss with his wife.

However...

Mo Lian gripped the green vine in his sleeve and, with a thought, entered Taoyuan Star. He left the three puppies circling the spot where he had vanished, barking furiously in protest.

"Crown Prince!" Qiuqiu and Little Waterdrop scampered over, fawning, tugging at his robe and calling out, "Crown Prince!"

Mo Lian's lips twitched. He bent down and picked up the two little ones from the ground. "Where are they?"

"Little Tu and Peach Blossom Immortal Venerable took everyone to Mountain Peak Star for mining!"

Mo Lian: ...

Heh heh, that rotten peach blossom is quite proactive!

"Is there anything the Crown Prince needs to do inside?"

"Nothing," Mo Lian said, gazing into the distance, then lowered his eyes slightly. "I can't enter the main star."

"Yeah, you can't enter the main star," Little Waterdrop said in a milky voice. "Mistress told us before she went in that she needed a certain amount of time inside."

"Yeah, at least three days at the fastest."

Mo Lian lowered his eyebrows in thought, then exited Taoyuan Star. The three puppies, seeing him suddenly appear, indignantly pounced on him, barking protests as they bit at his robe.

"Stop it," Mo Lian pressed his temples, lifting the three little ones onto the table and patting their heads. Something was amiss; Yun Piaomiao wouldn't send them a message without reason.

"Hui Feng."

A dark figure suddenly appeared at the window, flashing a bright white-toothed smile at the Crown Prince. "Master, have you forgotten again? Hui Feng was personally ordered by you to be sent to Huiping Village for mining." Otherwise, he should have returned to the capital with Third Young Master Fu by now. Poor Hui Feng, who knows how he offended his master again? Xiao Ye secretly shed a tear of sympathy for him in his heart, but that was the extent of it.

The Crown Prince: ...

Ah, that's right. That brat Hui Feng had offended him, hmph. He had ordered him to take a group of young, inexperienced Violet Forest Guards to Huiping Village to open that sacred vein. However, to ensure their safety, he had also instructed Immortal Venerable Jinshang, Zhao Sheng, and Liang Yi to assist them. With Immortal Venerable Jinshang, a peak Immortal Venerable realm expert, safeguarding Hui Feng and the others, there shouldn't be any major problems.

Mo Lian pondered for a moment, then told Xiao Ye, "Have the people from the Night Pavilion go to Yun Piaomiao at the Royal Academy first to gather information. I need to know what matter requires the Crown Princess's personal attention."

"Yes," Xiao Ye said, his expression serious. He immediately left to carry out the order.

Mo Lian frowned slightly, an inexplicable irritation rising in his heart.
