Chapter 206 Friends Meeting
It was a dark night. In a hidden courtyard in the capital of Lan State, Ling Yuxiao stood with his hands behind his back, staring at the night sky in the distance.
Behind him, Ling Yi knelt on one knee with a respectful expression.
"How is it?" Ling Yuxiao asked in a low voice, with a serious tone.
Secret Guard Ling Yi raised his head and reported in a deep voice, "Young Master, the Lan Kingdom has been in turmoil lately. The people of Beiyan have been active, seemingly searching for someone named 'Zizhu'."
"Someone named 'Zizhu'?" Ling Yuxiao frowned slightly, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes. "Have you found out his identity?"
Ling Yi shook his head and whispered, "There is no definite information yet. However, according to our intelligence, it seems that this person has close ties with the Lan Kingdom's royal family."
Ling Yuxiao pondered for a moment, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes: "The people of Beiyan have always been restless. It seems that many changes in things are inseparable from their instigation."
Ling nodded and continued, "Furthermore, we've discovered that, besides the Beiyan people, another force is also operating in secret, seemingly searching for 'Purple Bamboo'. Their identities haven't been ascertained, but their style of action clearly aligns with that of someone from the underworld."
A trace of vigilance flashed across Ling Yuxiao's eyes: "Another force? Could it be some martial arts sect?"
Ling Yi shook his head: "It's impossible to confirm for the time being. However, their target is the same as the Beiyan people, both are 'Purple Bamboo'. Young Master, do we need to intervene?"
Ling Yuxiao pondered for a moment and said slowly, "For now, we should hold our ground and wait and see. Since the Beiyan people and that mysterious force are both searching for 'Purple Bamboo', they will definitely make some moves. We just need to secretly monitor and wait for the opportunity."
Ling Yi cupped his fist and replied, "Yes, Young Master."
Ling Yuxiao looked up at the night sky, a deep light flashing in his eyes. "Our mission is to wait and see... Ling Yi, continue to keep a close eye on the movements of the Beiyan people and that mysterious force. Report any abnormalities immediately."
Ling Yi nodded respectfully: "I understand."
Ling Yuxiao waved his hand, and Ling Yi's figure quickly disappeared into the night.
Ling Yuxiao was the only one left in the courtyard.
He murmured to himself, "Who on earth is 'Purple Bamboo'? How could it possibly influence so many forces?"

At the same time, deep in the bamboo forest south of the capital of Lan State, the moonlight cast mottled shadows through the bamboo leaves.
Feng Qingcheng stood in the middle of the bamboo forest, looking around vigilantly, waiting for Qian San's arrival.
A dark shadow appeared silently behind him.
The man was dressed in black, his face hidden in the shadows, revealing only a pair of sharp eyes.
"Mr. Feng, sorry for the long wait." Qian San said in a low voice, with a hint of hoarseness in his voice.
Feng Qingcheng turned around and looked directly at Qian San, her tone filled with anxiety: "Qian San, what exactly does that letter mean? Has something happened to His Majesty?"
Qian San lowered his head slightly, his tone respectful yet evasive: "Master Feng, I cannot say much about this matter. You should ask the master in person."
Feng Qingcheng frowned and jokingly said, "Qian San, you are still the same, always speaking so bluntly. Well, take me to see the young master now."
Qian San nodded and said in a straightforward tone: "Mr. Feng, please follow me."
The two quickly left the bamboo forest and headed towards the depths of the capital of Lan Kingdom.
In the darkness of the night, their figures were like ghosts, silently crossing the streets and finally arriving in front of a hidden mansion.
The gate of the mansion was closed, and two dim lanterns were hung in front of the door, illuminating the two large characters "Feng Mansion".
Qian San walked forward and gently pushed open the door. Without disturbing anyone, he took Feng Qingcheng directly into the mansion.
After crossing the courtyard, the two came to the study.

In the study, candlelight flickered. Jun Lingyuan, wearing a black robe, was sitting at the desk with a calm expression.
Feng Qingyue sat aside, holding a book in her hand with a cold look in her eyes.
Seeing Feng Qingcheng, Jun Lingyuan smiled slightly and said in a gentle tone: "Qingcheng, you are here."
Feng Qingcheng quickly stepped forward, knelt on one knee, and saluted respectfully: "Greetings, sir."
Jun Lingyuan raised his hand and gestured: "No need to be polite, get up."
Feng Qingcheng stood up and glanced at Jun Lingyuan, her tone filled with concern: "Sir, what does the letter mean? Are you all right?"
Jun Lingyuan looked calm and nodded slightly: "Everything is fine, don't worry. But you, you have been traveling all the way, it must be hard."
Feng Qingcheng shook her head and said respectfully, "Serving you, sir, is my duty."
Jun Lingyuan's eyes were gentle as he turned and asked, "How's the situation in Beiming? Is everything okay?"
Feng Qingcheng nodded and whispered, "Everything is fine in Beiming, Your Majesty, don't worry. However, after receiving the secret letter, I felt uneasy and immediately rushed to Lan Country."
Jun Lingyuan smiled slightly, his tone filled with approval: "You have always been cautious, I am very relieved."
Feng Qingcheng lowered her head slightly and said respectfully, "Sir, you are too kind."
Jun Lingyuan asked in a low voice: "Qingcheng, is Ling Ye okay?"
Feng Qingcheng's eyes flickered with a complex expression upon hearing this. She slowly said, "His Highness Ling Ye... is doing fine. He's just still a bit stubborn and refuses to focus on government affairs."
Jun Lingyuan sighed, his tone filled with helplessness: "I know this too. It's my fault for entrusting him with such a heavy burden. It's hard on him."
Feng Qingcheng nodded, her tone firm: "Don't worry, sir. After returning to Beiming, I will definitely give you more advice."
Jun Lingyuan smiled slightly, with a hint of approval in his tone: "With your help, I feel relieved."
The two chatted about some trivial matters in Bei Ming, and the atmosphere became much more relaxed.
Jun Lingyuan suddenly asked, "Qingcheng, did you encounter any trouble this time?"
Feng Qingcheng shook her head and whispered, "Everything went smoothly. We just encountered some Beiyan spies along the way, and they have been dealt with by my subordinates."
A hint of coldness flashed across Jun Lingyuan's eyes, and he whispered, "The Beiyan people are indeed restless. Qingcheng, since you're here, fight this tough battle with us before returning."
Feng Qingcheng's expression froze, and she whispered, "Sir, I am willing to help you with all my strength."
At this time, Feng Qingyue stepped forward, with a smile in her eyes and a cheerful tone: "Brother, long time no see."
Feng Qingcheng turned to look at Feng Qingyue, a hint of tenderness flashed in her eyes, and the corners of her mouth raised slightly: "Miss Feng, long time no see."
Feng Qingyue blinked and mocked with dissatisfaction, "Brother, why are you so distant? Call me 'Miss Feng'."
Feng Qingcheng was slightly stunned when she heard this, and felt a little confused.
"Miss Feng, please stop teasing me."
Feng Qingyue pursed her lips and smiled, pretending to be naughty and said, "Looks like I won't be able to call you brother anymore."
"Qingyue, I believe they will all remember it one day." Jun Lingyuan looked at her affectionately.
"It's okay, just remember it."
