Carefree Traveler fully agrees with Guan Yue's thoughts. They carefully analyzed the Crown Prince's power; aside from the Emperor's support and those suddenly appearing Disciples, he has very few forces at his disposal. Only five major families will fully support the Crown Prince. Among them, the Nangong Family and the Wei Family are firmly committed to following him. Now, there is also the Ouyang Family. In total, there are only six major families. However, the Ouyang Family is exceptionally powerful, equivalent to two families.
If Nation were to be eliminated at this moment, the connection between the Crown Prince and the Ouyang Family would be immediately severed, which would have a significant psychological impact on the Crown Prince since Nation is the most resolute supporter among the princes. Moreover, his actual Combat Power is also the strongest. The Crown Prince intends for him to take command of the army in the future. He has recently begun to engage with groups like the Northern Champion.
After analyzing, Carefree Traveler said, "If we really want to take action against Nation, we cannot let Northern Champion know. Otherwise, he might rebel and bring disaster upon us."
"No, we need to let Northern Champion take action. Their involvement will make it legitimate," Guan Yue firmly opposed Carefree Traveler's opinion. During Carefree Traveler's explanation of the situation, Guan Yue gradually clarified his thoughts and decided to undertake a significant task: targeting Nation. He would formally declare war on the Crown Prince.
Carefree Traveler was taken aback: "They are an army; how can they interfere in such matters?"
"I have a way to make them intervene," Guan Yue said very seriously to Carefree Traveler: "Your task is to determine when Nation will be in the Imperial City. This will help me make other arrangements."
"Nation in the Imperial City?" Carefree Traveler clearly struggled to keep up with Guan Yue's line of thought.
"Yes, we must keep him in Nanyang City, otherwise how can I find him?" Guan Yue explained.
"Alright, although it's challenging, since you are willing to act, I will ensure that Jiang Ming Prince finds a way to keep Nation. I will create conditions for your actions." Seeing that Guan Yue was finally ready to take action, this would also be the first concrete matter after Carefree Traveler allied with Jiang Ming, so he felt excited.
Guan Yue smiled and said, "I will give you two hundred pounds of Celestial Wine. That should be enough to keep Nation, right?"
"Haha, only someone who knows me like you does, Guan Tian." Just moments ago, he had been worried; he himself had no way to keep Jiang Ming from letting go of Nation, but with the Celestial Wine, it would definitely work.
After handing over the Celestial Wine, Guan Yue said, "We have five days left; it's urgent. I will return immediately to make arrangements. You all try to keep Nation. We will meet again in four days."
After bidding farewell to Carefree Traveler, Guan Yue promptly sent a message to the three prominent families of the Dawson Empire: requesting them to dispatch a small force to wait for orders near Nanyang City in the Southern Source Empire.
Then Guan Yue arrived at the Heavenly Intent Auction House and found Ouyang Xinyi.
Ouyang Xinyi was very happy to see Guan Yue: "Brother, did you bring me the Celestial Wine? It's been a year, and you should fulfill your promise."
Guan Yue replied angrily, "I already delivered five years' worth of Celestial Wine to you long ago."
"Haha, then I’ll just extend it for another five years. You don’t know, I saved a thousand pounds last year and didn’t dare to sell it, specifically for my good friends to drink. But now they’ve gotten addicted and keep asking me for Celestial Wine. I'm really living in dire straits," Ouyang Xinyi said with a bitter expression. Besides the pressure from his friends, he was also pretending; he hadn’t even finished that thousand pounds of Celestial Wine yet. He had made quite a profit in business thanks to it.
Guan Yue said, "Big brother, let’s get down to business first. Call Miss He Yunzhu over; I have something for her to do."
Ouyang Xinyi hurriedly called someone to bring He Yunzhu over, then turned to Guan Yue and said, "Brother, can you stay here for a couple more days? Come meet my friends. After you see them, you'll understand the pressure they put on me."
Guan Yue was no match for this old trickster and had no choice but to give him another two thousand pounds of Celestial Wine. Ouyang Xinyi quickly put away the Celestial Wine and said to Guan Yue, "Brother, my good brother, could you give me three thousand pounds more? Let’s make it an even ten thousand pounds. This time I’ll sell it all at a high price. I won’t take a single penny from you. What do you think?"
Guan Yue immediately stopped him: "Hold on, hold on. I don’t have any left on me right now. Let’s talk about it next time."
"When will you be free next time? We need to hurry; otherwise, this two thousand pounds won’t be enough for me to drink," Ouyang Xinyi let slip, making Guan Yue laugh out loud: "You just said you’d sell it all to me. You won’t take a penny, but now you’re saying it’s not enough for you to drink. What are you really thinking?"
Ouyang Xinyi laughed as well and then said seriously to Guan Yue: "This auction will only sell five hundred pounds at most; I’ll keep some for my friends to drink so that I can gain greater benefits. In tough times, it might even save lives."
"Alright then, since you're being so honest, I’ll bring you more next time so that you won’t be put in a difficult position," Guan Yue casually said, which touched Ouyang Xinyi. He immediately expressed: "Brother, I must help you out; otherwise, I’d feel too guilty taking advantage of you. Just tell me what you need help with; don’t mention small matters. If there’s something embarrassing for you, just say it; otherwise, I’ll really feel bad."
Seeing Ouyang Xinyi's expression, Guan Yue knew that Ouyang Xinyi had realized he must have come with some request for help, so he directly stated his need!
Although Ouyang Xinyi was considering business matters, it still moved Guan Yue. At this moment, he indeed needed Ouyang Xinyi's assistance.
Guan Yue candidly said, "I need experts, five experts from the Eternal Realm in five days."
"Who are we dealing with? It wouldn't be the Crown Prince, would it?" Ouyang Xinyi hit the nail on the head, earning great admiration from Guan Yue.
"Not the Crown Prince, but close enough," Guan Yue replied.
"Oh, other princes? Fine, as long as it's not to take over Southern Source Palace, I will help you find five Supreme Beings of the Eternal Realm. However, once those Supreme Beings arrive, they cannot inquire about each other's backgrounds; they can only communicate through sound transmission. They must leave immediately after the task is completed. That's the rule," Ouyang Xinyi said with a serious expression.
"Alright, you'll cover the expenses, and I'll give you ten thousand jins of Celestial Wine as a reward," Guan Yue said decisively.
Ouyang Xinyi's face flushed immediately. "Ten thousand jins? Are you really giving me ten thousand jins? When?"
"I'll deliver it personally in seven days."
"Okay, it's a deal. I'll take advantage of you one more time. But, Guan Yue, my brother, I will definitely repay you," Ouyang Xinyi said as he noticed He Yunzhu arriving and took his leave to arrange for the Celestial Wine. Two thousand jins of Celestial Wine would last him a long time. As a businessman, he was even more excited about ten thousand jins of Celestial Wine. That amount would be enough to hire fifty Eternal Realm Cultivators. Guan Yue was truly straightforward and reliable!
Guan Yue turned to He Yunzhu and said, "You need to send a message back immediately. Have your family say that since the Crown Prince is not at home, they should hand over the items to Fifth Prince Nation in five days. Just say it like that. Then your He Family should relocate all important personnel to near Dragon Lake Academy. I will buy a piece of land for them to settle down again. But the operation must be discreet and they need to change their appearances."
Guan Yue then discussed the details of the He Family's relocation with He Yunzhu in detail and assured her that he would protect the He Family's safety regarding any Nation personnel.
After hearing Guan Yue's explanation about the Crown Prince targeting her family, He Yunzhu felt indignant. She decided to make a trip herself to reassure her family members. The two confirmed their communication method for the relocation point at Dragon Lake Academy.
Then Guan Yue asked Ouyang Xinyi to grant He Yunzhu leave so she could return home for a visit. Ouyang Xinyi simply told He Yunzhu, "Be careful," before agreeing. Now He Yunzhu was becoming more mature at Heavenly Intent Auction House and had taken on the role of chief auctioneer. She had also become even more beautiful.
Of course, Heavenly Intent Auction House would send someone to protect He Yunzhu on her way home. Guan Yue felt completely at ease.
Subsequently, Guan Yue sought out the Northern Champion and discussed matters with him, assuring him that there would only be benefits and absolutely no drawbacks. At the same time, Guan Yue suggested, "This operation will certainly result in some soldiers dying to demonstrate your loyalty, so when you send out soldiers, you should choose those who are disobedient and let them go to their deaths."
"Is there really a Dawson Empire force infiltrating? This is very important; otherwise, I have no justification for deploying troops," the Northern Champion emphasized. As a military man, he could not interfere in the private disputes of various sects; this was a strict discipline. Of course, if there were foreign invaders, he would be justified in sending troops to capture them.
Guan Yue repeatedly assured him that there would indeed be troops from the Dawson Empire appearing. The Northern Champion remained skeptical but agreed to send troops to investigate.
Guan Yue was determined to have the Northern Champion take action, intending to pull him into his plans and make him a force he could rely on in the future.
Guan Yue hurried back to the vicinity of Dragon Lake Academy and found a very large estate, which he purchased after some bargaining. He decided to temporarily let the He Family reside there. In the future, they could choose their own paths; all he needed to do was provide them with some money. Right now, Guan Yue was not short on funds!
Then Guan Yue returned to the academy and immediately sent Jin Xi to fetch Huangfu Jiayin. After discussing with Huangfu Jiayin and incorporating her suggestions, Guan Yue's plan became even more refined.
Huangfu Jiayin looked up at Guan Yue, carefully observing him. For the first time, she realized that Guan Yue could be so audacious as to plan an attack on a current prince!
She trusted Guan Yue even more now; he was willing to risk his life for them, and she believed it! She felt very pleased with how much Guan Yue trusted her.
Could she consider herself Guan Yue's confidante? She would have to work even harder for him in the future. She wanted her name, Huangfu Jiayin, to be firmly etched in his journey—a bond that was unbreakable and deeply connected!
Guan Yue did not expect that discussing matters with Huangfu Jiayin would lead her to such fanciful thoughts. Young girls are so sentimental.
Then Guan Yue publicly announced that he would enter seclusion in three days for a closed-door training session; he would not emerge until he broke through to the Miraculous Realm! He also informed Lu Ziang and Dugu Shalong about this.
Nation did not expect his Thirteenth Brother to treat him with such fine wine; it turned out to be the legendary Celestial Wine from Source of Jiuquan. Moreover, Jiang Ming told Nation that this wine would arrive in four days. There would be a full hundred pounds of it, and any excess could be given to Nation, which made Nation even more excited!
