At that thought, Feng Wu was over the moon. Taking Luo Zilin’s hand, she asked, “So, what’s the situation now? Tell me.’

Luo Zilin nodded. “That’s what I want to talk to you about.”

“Although the royal family has declined, they’re still quite capable.

“Princess Royal and Lord Yan’s residence are on the same side, supporting the royal family.

“Apart from that, the Primordial Pagoda, the Formless Sword Sect, the Red

Feather Room, the Mountain Sea Academy, the Murong family, the Medicine God Valley, the Luo family, and the Sacred Mu Cliff all remain neutral and don’t want to get involved.

“Of course, that was before. Right now, the Princess Royal is trying to win people over. As far as we know, the Primordial Pagoda is the first to be won over.

“The latest news shows that the Murong family and the royal family have been very close recently. It seems that they’re going to form a marriage alliance.

“If the Murong family agrees to a marriage alliance, it’ll be disadvantageous to the rest of the forces and sects.”

Feng Wu asked, “Isn’t the marriage alliance between the royal family and the Murong family supposed to have dissolved after the marriage agreement between the Princess Royal and the Murong family was over? After what the Murong family has gone through, they still dare to form a marriage alliance with the royal family?”

Luo Zilin said, “Murong Changan died of an illness, so it wasn’t really a divorce. Her Royal Highness remarried after that, so it makes sense.”

Feng Wu asked, “Did Murong Changan die a normal death?”

Luo Zilin chuckled. “You’ve asked the same question as everyone else.”

Feng Wu said, “So?”

Luo Zilin said, “Murong Changan was the genius cultivator of the Murong family, and the genius died just like that. The Murong family would have sent someone to investigate it, but it passed without a trace. That was to say, they didn’t find any evidence against the princess.”

Resting her chin on her hands, Feng Wu sighed in regret.

“So, who’s getting married this time?”

Luo Zilin said, “His Majesty’s eldest daughter, Princess Xuezhen, and Murong

Linan of the Murong family.”

Feng Wu asked curiously, “Murong Linan? What’s his relationship with that

Murong Linhai I met on my way to the imperial capital?”

Luo Zilin said, “Murong Linan is in the same batch as me and Yan Yu. He’s Murong Linhai’s brother. He’s not to be underestimated. Even I may not be his match.”

Luo Zilin said seriously, “If the Murong family and the royal family really have a marriage alliance, it means that the royal family has found another powerful force. That way, the neutral group will become more and more passive.”

Feng Wu could only imagine what would happen to the Luo family if the royal family regained its power. She was a member of the Luo family now.

Feng Wu said, “What about the other forces? Are they going to let that marriage happen?”

Luo Zilin said, “No one from the main opposers is willing to step out. The

Sacred Mu Cliff used to be as powerful as the royal family, but Master Mu

Jiuzhou has been missing for years, and the sect has been without a leader. That’s why the royal family has been expanding.”

Mu Jiuzhou? Her beautiful master?

Feng Wu already had the first broken star piece, and the second one was stuck in the last trial. As for the third one… It was said that her third senior brother had it, but Feng Wu didn’t know where the fourth one was.

“Do you know what a broken star piece is?” Luo Zilin suddenly asked Feng Wu.

Feng Wu looked at him in surprise.

Could this man read minds?

As soon as she thought about the broken star piece, Luo Zilin asked her. Feng Wu asked, “Do you know the broken star piece?”

Luo Zilin said grumpily, “Everyone in Dayan knows the broken star piece, and we just can’t get it. But there’s a chance.”

Feng Wu asked, “What chance?”

Luo Zilin said, “The Dragon Gate Banquet will be held in three months. On that day, the royal family will reward the winner of the banquet with the broken star piece.

“The engagement party between the princess and Murong Linan is right afterward.

“This broken star piece is a great treasure. It’s said to be made from Mu Jiuzhou’s soul. With it, one can comprehend Mu Jiuzhou’s soul. If they’re lucky enough, they’ll be able to inherit Master Mu Jiuzhou’s teachings…”

Feng Wu was more excited than Luo Zilin.

She didn’t know where the fourth broken star piece was at first, but she was relieved to know that it would show up three months later.

As long as she knew where it was, she didn’t have to run around like a headless chicken.

“I want this broken star piece,” Feng Wu said solemnly.

Luo Zilin was sipping his tea and choked on his own spit. He looked up and stared at Feng Wu. “What did you say?”

Feng Wu said, “I want this broken star piece. I have to have it.”

“Hey, kiddo, are you having hysteria or something? Do you know what this

Dragon Gate Banquet is? It’s the venue for the cultivators of my year such as

Murong Linan and Yan Yu. You’re still a kid, and you’re going to the next one.”

Feng Wu said, “No, I’m not! I’m going to the Dragon Gate Banquet this year, and I’m going to get that broken star piece!”

Luo Zilin rubbed his temples. He was only telling the girl a story, but he didn’t expect her to be so excited.

Luo Zilin said, “Do you know what the Dragon Gate Banquet is? Are you sure you can win?

Feng Wu said, “I’d like to hear about it..”
