Chapter 1401: Chapter 1401: The Disappearing Queen

Su Chengyu’s comment instantly brought Qian Jinhu back to his senses, and he chuckled without continuing the conversation.

He took the initiative to speak, naturally intending to continue doing favors for Su Chengyu, but if those favors were meant for Xia Country, he would have no interest.

The Qian family’s relationship with Xia Country wasn’t bad, but the idea of proactively offering themselves up was certainly beneath them.

In fact, from the perspective of the Qian family, even if they were to choose someone from the younger generation to invest in before the year ends, that person would only be Long Xuan, who was of noble origin and a disciple of Dragon and Tiger.

Of course, after the battle at Qianjiufeng, Long Xuan, who firmly sat at the top of the younger generation, was no longer someone the Qian family was willing to invest in due to high costs.

"Then this old man will not be overly enthusiastic, but Mr. Su, if you need anything in Bei Luo Empire, just speak up. Even if we disregard other matters, solely considering this as part of an Earth Immortal Level transaction, this old man can still make the decision."

"Alright, then I won’t be shy to ask for help in the future."

Since Qian Jinhu relegated everything to business, Su Chengyu naturally had no reason to refuse.

As to whether there was a need for anything from the Qian family, Su Chengyu currently had no clue.

But from what he unexpectedly learned from Qian Jinhu, the upcoming adulthood ceremony of the Bei Luo Queen seemed to be more intriguing than he initially thought.

Not long after returning to the hotel, Locke’sove visited again.

This time with less beating around the bush, Locke’sove straightforwardly conveyed that His Royal Highness the Regent had accepted Su Chengyu’s conditions.

He then handed over a newly revised invitation, formally inviting the three of them.

Once Locke’sove left, everyone gathered again.

"This Regent seems quite eager, wanting the three of us to appear at the Queen’s coming-of-age ceremony. Isn’t his intention a bit too obvious?"

Mo Ningchen pondered aloud.

"Even so, we still have no clue what this Regent intends to gain from this?"

Listening to Su Chengyu’s response, Mo Ningchen looked up at him with a smile and asked, "You have no idea?"

Su Chengyu shook his head, unable to figure out any reason why the Regent would insist on their attendance.

Mo Ningchen thought for a while and spoke softly, "Let me first tell you a piece of news that You Ming just discovered; the Bei Luo Queen has disappeared."

"What?"

Su Chengyu was extremely shocked by this sudden news.

"You Ming has confirmed it repeatedly, though there are few sources to corroborate this, which makes this information even more reliable."

Su Chengyu bit his lower lip and frowned, "I can only think of two possibilities: either it’s the work of the Bam Alliance, or His Royal Highness the Regent himself is behind it."

The Bam Alliance, of course, attacking the soon-to-be adult Queen of Bei Luo could indeed plunge Bei Luo into chaos.

Now that the Bam Alliance’s reach has extended to even the Capital City, their interference in the affairs of Bei Luo Empire isn’t surprising at this time.

As for the second possibility, it’s even simpler – the Regent, who’s about to lose his power, couldn’t bear to see his power fall into others’ hands, thus he secretly captured the Bei Luo Queen who was about to take over significant authority.

"From a difficulty standpoint, the second possibility is obviously much greater."

Mo Ningchen was clearly aware of the political situation in Bei Luo and made a calm analysis in an instant.

The Queen’s coming-of-age ceremony is imminent, and the Bei Luo Empire would undoubtedly send enough experts to protect the Bei Luo Queen. Even if someone from the Bam Alliance at the Earth Immortal Level intervened, secretly kidnapping the Bei Luo Queen would be as difficult as an Ascension.

"Does this have anything to do with the coming-of-age ceremony we are attending?"

Beside him, Fang Qing tentatively asked, a question clearly beyond her capability to handle.

"It does seem related. After all, if the Queen is gone, is there really a necessity for all three of us to go?"

Su Chengyu and Mo Ningchen exchanged glances, both detecting a whiff of conspiracy.

However, there were too few leads, and with the enemy hidden and them exposed, they still couldn’t come up with a definitive answer.

"Let’s continue as normal for the next two days, and everything should become clear during the coming-of-age ceremony."

Su Chengyu took the initiative to suggest, and Mo Ningchen agreed.

In the following days, Su Chengyu took Fang Qing to various places in the Bei Luo Empire, and they visited some old acquaintances that Ye Qingci had mentioned.

However, most of them were no longer in the Bei Luo Empire or could not clearly recall the events from a hundred years ago.

This battlefield once visited by Su Linyuan seemed to have erased all traces he left as time passed.

The times had indeed changed, no longer the era where everyone knew Su Linyuan.

During these days, Su Chengyu clearly noticed that aside from the people of the Bei Luo Royal Family watching him, there seemed to be another group secretly following him.

Their movements were more covert than those from the Bei Luo side; if not for an accidental reminder from Fang Qing, Su Chengyu might have not noticed them.

However, Su Chengyu did not alert the stalkers right away. With so many eyes on him, he knew that any action against one party would alert the other.

Thus, he let these followers trail him for two days, and now the long-awaited coming-of-age ceremony of the Bei Luo Empire was about to begin.

"You Ming has sent a message saying she can’t come tonight, the banquet needs Miss Fang to replace her again."

"Am I going?"

Fang Qing spoke anxiously, it was okay usually, but replacing You Ming at the banquet made her naturally uneasy.

Mo Ningchen comforted from the side, "Don’t worry, on the surface, we are still from the Bei Tang Family. You Ming is just this young master’s maid, no one will actively approach her to talk."

Although Mo Ningchen said this, Fang Qing still looked nervously at Su Chengyu.

Su Chengyu spoke, "Mo Ningchen isn’t lying to you, even if someone comes for us, they would definitely be targeting me. But there are certainly risks, and if you don’t want to go, just refuse. Nobody can force you to do something you don’t want to do."

This statement from Su Chengyu was meant to reassure Fang Qing, as well as to be heard by Mo Ningchen.

Mo Ningchen, for the success of the mission, could disregard everything, but Su Chengyu would absolutely not allow such a thing to happen.

After listening to Su Chengyu’s words, Fang Qing hesitated for a while and eventually spoke, "I’ll go."

"I knew Miss Fang, you have a great sense of justice. Rest assured, Miss Fang, if anything unexpected happens, I will protect you at all costs, this is my promise."

"Thank you."

Fang Qing spoke to Mo Ningchen, but in her heart, she knew if something really went wrong, the only person she could rely on in this foreign land was Su Chengyu alone.
