Chapter 86: Seeing the True Face
"Is the reason I'm sending you back this time to take you to meet those patriarchs?"
Shangguan Mufeng nodded slightly upon hearing Gan Luo's words.
"Your Highness is very clever; that is indeed the case."
It turned out that they were taking Shangguan Mufeng to meet the patriarch.
"If that's the case, then I won't stop you."
Gan Luo glanced at Shangguan Mufeng again.
"Someone, go and fetch three thousand silver notes."
Upon hearing Gan Luo's instructions at the door, Green Bamboo hurriedly went to the storeroom.
The warehouse manager was puzzled when he saw Green Bamboo.
"What brings Miss Green Bamboo to the storeroom?"
The shopkeeper looked at Green Bamboo with some doubt.
"Your Highness, you want me to collect three thousand silver notes."
Hearing how much silver notes were to be taken, he stared at Green Bamboo in disbelief.
Her Highness has never spent so much money.
Why would they need to take so many silver notes out of the blue?
Seeing the shopkeeper sitting there like a wooden statue, Green Bamboo was extremely annoyed.
"Go get it when I tell you to. What are you doing standing here like a wooden statue?"
Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper hurriedly went to fetch the silver notes.
Meanwhile, Green Bamboo was observing the warehouse.
I saw that there were so many pieces of cloth on this table.
The silk and satin fabrics felt incredibly smooth to the touch.
It must have been acquired recently.
"Miss Green Bamboo has already brought it over. Here are the three thousand silver notes you requested."
Green Bamboo snorted coldly and found Gan Luo.
Shangguan Mufeng was just about to go back and pack up.
Unexpectedly, he was just about to say goodbye to Gan Luo.
Gan Luo called out to Shangguan Mufeng.
"You have stayed in my residence for some time and helped me with some things during this period. Consider this three thousand silver notes as a farewell gift from me."
When Shangguan Mufeng heard what Gan Luo said, he stared at Gan Luo in disbelief.
He never expected Gan Luo to give him so many silver notes.
Gan Luo was far too extravagant.
"Thank you for your kind words, Princess."
Seeing that it was getting late, Gan Luo dismissed Shangguan Mufeng.
Green Bamboo didn't quite understand Gan Luo's intentions.
"Your Highness, why are you giving Young Master Shangguan so many silver notes? Could it be that Young Master Shangguan is about to leave the Princess's residence?!"
"You're quite clever, girl. It's true that Young Master Shangguan is leaving the Princess's residence."
Green Bamboo was a little reluctant to see Shangguan Mufeng leave, and couldn't help but ask Gan Luo.
"Your Highness, did you send Shangguan Mufeng back home?"
"I didn't make it in time for Young Master Shangguan to return home. Young Master Shangguan only needs to go to the Penglai Sect."
Green Bamboo was somewhat confused about what the Penglai Sect was.
"The Penglai Sect is the best place to practice martial arts. The sect leader of the Penglai Sect is Shangguan Mufeng's master. Now, the sect leader of the Penglai Sect is going to take Shangguan Mufeng back to meet those elders."
The green bamboo is like a refreshing nectar.
At first I was very confused, but now I understand.
"According to Your Highness's statement, can Young Master Shangguan return?"
“He will naturally return, but not to this palace.”
The departure of the young master Shangguan from the princess's residence at such a fine time is bound to cause controversy.
Why not use the excuse that Young Master Shangguan wants to go home, get married, and have children to send him back?
Although this will certainly bring gossip to Young Master Shangguan.
However, they all knew that Gan Luo was only interested in novelty, and they might think that Gan Luo had simply gotten tired of Shangguan Mufeng.
This would make the Shangguan family insignificant.
This can be considered as fulfilling Shangguan Mufeng's wish and ensuring the safety of the Shangguan family.
Shangguan Mufeng had tidied everything up.
A bamboo flute sound rang out, and Shangguan Mufeng knew that his master had arrived.
"Your Highness, have you heard the sound of a bamboo flute? I think I hear someone blowing bamboo."
Gan Luo shook his head, wondering how he could possibly hear any bamboo flute music, thinking that Green Bamboo probably hadn't rested well.
Unexpectedly, Yu Zhu also told Gan Luo that she had heard the sound of the bamboo flute.
Gan Luo's face immediately darkened; it seemed someone was secretly plotting against him.
Suddenly, I sensed a sharp internal force.
Gan Luo immediately drew his sword.
Suddenly, a man dressed in blue appeared in front of Gan Luo, wearing a mask.
The man was rather thin.
"Greetings to Your Highness, may Your Highness live a thousand years!"
Gan Luo stood up and walked up to the man in blue.
They carefully illuminated half of the man in blue.
Green Bamboo and Jade Bamboo protected Gan Luo behind them.
This person appeared without a trace, which made them somewhat uneasy.
Commander Yuan happened to arrive here.
Upon seeing the man in blue, they became more alert.
He looked up at Gan Luo again.
"Your Highness, should we arrest this man?"
Lin Fengmian had already returned.
Lin Fengmian sensed the powerful internal energy within the princess's residence and hurriedly ran to Gan Luo's side.
Meanwhile, Shangguan Mufeng had already finished tidying up on the other side.
Shangguan Mufeng could sense that his master had arrived.
Shangguan Mufeng naturally came outside to receive them.
Unexpectedly, the atmosphere was extremely oppressive, and Shangguan Mufeng's forehead was covered in cold sweat.
"Your Highness, Master..."
Gan Luo then learned that this person was the sect leader of the Penglai Sect.
Gan Luo immediately put away his sword.
The sect leader of Penglai Sect also realized that the person in front of him was the princess who was feared by all.
The princess was quite different from what had been rumored.
The princess in the rumors was not as wonderful as she seemed, but seeing her in person now is quite different.
"Your Highness, I came in too much of a hurry and did not greet you. Please do not hold it against me."
Then the sect leader of Penglai Sect took out the treasures from within the sect.
"This is a lotus flower fan, which is more suitable for women to use, so I am giving it to you, Princess."
Gan Luo glanced at it and had Green Bamboo take it from him.
Gan Luo opened and waved the fan, and one could sense that it contained a hidden weapon.
I originally thought it was just an ordinary folding fan.
But just now I heard the Penglai sect say that this is their sect's treasure.
How could one possibly carefully examine an ordinary broken fan?
"Thank you for the fan from the sect. I will keep it safe."
People say that the sect leader of Penglai Sect is old and has lost his beauty.
But judging from the voices of this sect, they are only about twenty years old.
Gan Luo was starting to doubt whether this sect was even a real one.
Then the sect member looked at Gan Luo and took off his bamboo hat.
She revealed her true face, a face that was not that of a monstrous beauty that could bring ruin to a country.
However, he could still be considered a handsome man.
He was compared to Shangguan Mufeng.
However, it's different when compared to Lin Fengmian.
"May I ask, if I may, how old are you?"
The sect leader of the former sect informed Gan Luo that the matter was already resolved.
Both the green bamboo and the jade bamboo stared in disbelief.
