The Mansion of the General of the Left Guard!
"How is Chen Changsheng's reaction?" Lin Yong asked hurriedly when he saw his daughter coming back.
"He... is very strange..." Lin Wan'er shook her head slightly.
"Strange? Why, is he unhappy to see you?" Lin Yong asked curiously.
If he was not mistaken, then Chen Changsheng must be very special to his daughter!
"His reaction was very surprised at first, and then he became calm. I feel like something must have happened in between, something I don't know..." Lin Wan'er frowned.
What is the reason?
"Maybe... it has something to do with my warning... Alas, who would have thought that he, a mere jailer, would actually be an innate master... If I had known this earlier, your father would definitely not have stopped him from being with you..." Lin Yong said with regret.
It’s true that Lin Wan’er was favored by the prince, but he already had a princess!
Even if Lin Wan'er married, she would at most be a concubine and would never become the queen. In this case, no one could say for sure whether it would be better to marry the crown prince or Chen Changsheng...
After all, even the emperor relies heavily on the Xiantian Master, who is like a stabilizing force in the Great Zhou!
The status of the wife of the Xiantian Grandmaster is much higher than that of ordinary concubines!
"There is no medicine for regret in this world... Dad, if you were a master of innate abilities, would you care about the so-called warning?" Lin Wan'er said with a smile.
"Well, it shouldn't be... After all, if the Xiantian Grandmaster is willing to serve the court, he can easily obtain a position that is not as high as mine!" Lin Yong said.
You must know that twenty years ago, there were no Six Gates in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
But since Xue Yiren came into being, there have been the Six Gates!
If Chen Changsheng was willing to serve the imperial court, he might even be able to establish his own government and lead a department...
"So, there must be other reasons...but I can't think of what it is for now!" Lin Wan'er gently stroked the hair beside her ear.
"Wan'er, what are your plans? Because of Chen Changsheng, the Crown Prince has already spoken and can respect your choice!"
"If you choose Chen Changsheng, he won't stop you!" Lin Yong said.
There are so many beautiful women in this world!
But there are only a handful of innate masters!
"Of course he won't stop me. If I can use him to win over a Xiantian, he'll probably be very happy..." Lin Wan'er said with a hint of disdain...
"Wan'er..." Lin Yong frowned slightly.
"I don't know what happened to Chen Changsheng. He seems to be a little distant towards me..." Lin Wan'er said lightly.
"Then... let it be!" Lin Yong sighed.
"Let it be? Of course not. Women always have ways to deal with men. I'm becoming more and more interested in Chen Changsheng!" Lin Wan'er said, a strange light flashing in her eyes...
Over the next few months, life gradually became calm again.
Chen Changsheng continued to raise and slaughter pigs, but during this process, he would occasionally be disturbed by Lin Wan'er...
Prince Qi’s Mansion!
"Your Highness, after extensive investigation, Di Ting is now 80% certain of confirming the identity of that innate master. However, speaking out loud may sound unbelievable. It turns out that we have had some connection with that innate master before, and he is even a non-staff member of our Di Ting..."
The leader smiled bitterly and reported to the King of Qi.
When he got the analysis results, he was also confused and unbelievable...
But after integrating all the intelligence and investigation, the final conclusion is undeniable...
"What? He's been in contact with Di Ting for a long time, and he's just a non-staff member? Such a powerful person is just a non-staff member?" The King of Qi was also confused...
"Who is he?" King Qi asked immediately.
"The jailer of Tianlao, the Tian-shaped prison, is Chen Changsheng!" said the leader Di Ting.
"A jailer in a Tianzi-shaped prison? If I remember correctly, Feng Cuiping's father Feng San... was assigned to be a jailer, right?" King Qi frowned.
"That's true... After Feng San's death, Chen Changsheng took over as the jailer of the Tianzi Prison. The two of them might have crossed paths because of this. Then, Feng Cuiping suddenly rebelled in Chunfeng Pavilion and was captured, but was rescued by a mysterious person..."
"We checked all the guests that night and found that Chen Changsheng was also there, and it was he who specifically mentioned Feng Cuiping!" said the leader of Di Ting.
"What a coincidence? Who exactly is Chen Changsheng?" asked the King of Qi.
"I've already sent people to investigate. This person arrived in the capital over three years ago. Upon his arrival, he was arrested as a refugee. He happened to meet Miss Lin Wan'er from the General of the Left Guard's residence, who rescued him. He was then imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison and became a jailer, a position he held for over three years!"
"During this period, this person didn't show any other abnormalities. The only thing he did was that he liked to go in and out of brothels. He was also very generous and extravagant. Normally speaking, his salary was far from enough!"
"As for where his money comes from, it's a mystery and no one knows."
"However, I suspect it was stolen... because, over the past two years, a skilled thief has appeared in the capital, having repeatedly entered and exited the homes of wealthy merchants without fail! If he is that innate master, he could definitely do this!"
"However, this person actually has some relationship with the prince..." said the leader of Di Ting.
"What? He is also related to the prince? Has he been won over by the prince?" King Qi said in shock.
The Crown Prince already has the Taoist Master Feng Xinzi by his side, and a general leading the troops outside. If he were to acquire Chen Changsheng, his chances of winning would become increasingly slim...
"Two months ago, Lin Yong offended His Majesty and was thrown into the Heavenly Prison. Lin Wan'er went to visit him, and thus met Chen Changsheng again. That time, the Crown Prince was also there..."
"Then, Lin Wan'er and Chen Changsheng seemed to have a secret crush on each other. Coincidentally, Feng San died, and the Crown Prince instructed Yan Ming, the deputy commander of the Heavenly Prison, to transfer Chen Changsheng to the Tianzi-shaped prison, thus disrupting our original plan!"
"At that time, I wanted to wait until Chen Changsheng died in the Heavenly Prison before making any follow-up plans. However, the demon monk was suddenly captured by Xue Yiren and then escorted to the Heavenly Prison."
"This man killed the Qingzhou shepherd's only son and disrupted our arrangements in Zhiyang Mountain. So I arranged for Gu Yue to go and win over Chen Changsheng."
"At first, Gu Yue failed to win him over, but later for some reason, Chen Changsheng agreed to help us secretly kill the evil monk, so now he is considered a non-staff member of our Di Ting..." said the leader of Di Ting with a wry smile.
Who could have imagined that an unintentionally recruited non-staff member would turn out to be such a terrifying giant crocodile...
A master of the innate realm is actually hiding in the Heavenly Prison as a jailer. This person must have some ulterior motives...
