Chapter 2171: Untitled

“I’m only analyzing the situation for you. Why are you angry? Jun Linyuan, I didn’t know that you were so petty.”

Jun Linyuan’s face darkened, and he rose to his feet.

That wouldn’t do!

But Feng Wu felt that begging him all the time was too humiliating.

Therefore, Feng Wu stopped trying. She let Jun Linyuan walk away, and followed him like his tail.

As long as there were less than ten steps between them, things would be fine.

Jun Linyuan walked angrily in the front, and Feng Wu casually followed him.

But that wasn’t how Jun Linyuan felt.

He was so angry that he wanted to kick the girl in the butt.

However, the cool breeze cleared his head. Turning around, he saw his little tail.

When he quickened his pace, she jogged behind him.

When he slowed down, she strolled casually.

They were exactly ten steps apart.

Was she worried that he would run off?

At that thought, the crown prince didn’t feel frustrated anymore.

He slowed down so that she could catch up to him.

As expected —

The girl quickly ran to his side. If she had a tail, she would be wagging it now.

He was right!

As soon as Jun Linyuan stopped, Feng Wu quickly ran to his side and grinned at him.

Jun Linyuan wanted to squeeze her cheeks, but when he raised his hands…

He realized that he was looking at his own face.

Seeing that adorable look on his face…

The proud crown prince couldn’t stand it.

“I have to get my body back as soon as possible,” Jun Linyuan thought.

They headed south.

It was an uneventful journey, almost as if Jun Linyuan hadn’t revealed anything important to his enemies.

But Feng Wu knew that it was only the calm before the storm.

For her, the most important thing right now was finding the spies, since they were almost back at the imperial capital.

The ninth trial was almost over.

Feng Wu was so excited that she thought her heart was going to jump out of her chest.

However, Jun Linyuan didn’t know that. Otherwise, he would probably want to kill her.

“We’re almost back at the capital. Why aren’t they making any moves yet?” Feng Wu pouted and looked at Jun Linyuan.

“We’ve entered Jingyang Province now,” Jun Linyuan said. “This is the Zuo family’s territory, so we have to be very careful from now on.”

“The Zuo family?” Feng Wu was confused. “Aren’t they in the imperial capital?”

Jun Linyuan shook his head. “The empire consists of 13 provinces, which are secretly controlled by nine major clans and four forces respectively. The Zuo family is in charge of Jingyang.”

Feng Wu said, “Is the Zuo family that powerful?”

Jun Linyuan nodded. “What you see in the capital is just the tip of the iceberg. The real Zuo family is well-connected beyond your imagination.

“Of course, the provinces are still controlled by the empire, but the big families have been developing their power in the provinces over so many generations that they have fingers in every pie through marriage. The Zuo family is one such family.”

Feng Wu asked, “What about the other 12 provinces?”
