Feihu General''s face lit up with joy as he quickly said, "Thank you for your promotion, Your Highness. I will not disappoint your expectations and will do my utmost to accomplish this task for you."


    Prince Suwen replied, "That''s good. You may leave now. Don''t disturb me unless it''s important."


    "Yes," Feihu General responded and then exited the room, leaving the mansion through the main door of the living room.


    After Feihu General left, Prince Suwen stayed in the room for a while before stepping out of his study. At that moment, a figure approached and pressed a hard, black object against Prince Suwen''s lower back.


    "If you want to live, don''t make a sound!" A cold, sinister voice spoke from behind Prince Suwen, who was startled. Realizing that a gun was pressed against his back, he immediately stood still and remained silent.


    "Sit down in that chair over there," the cold voice commanded again. Prince Suwen obediently sat down in a chair in the living room.


    Soft footsteps echoed as a young man wearing a white smiling mask and holding a gun appeared before Prince Suwen. This masked man was none other than Rulu, who had been eavesdropping outside the room earlier.


    "Who are you? What do you want from me?!" Prince Suwen tried to stay calm as he addressed the masked man.


    "It seems you haven''t quite grasped the situation," Rulu said in a low, emotionless tone. "Your life is in my hands, so it''s me who asks the questions, not you. Do you understand?"


    Prince Suwen let out a cold laugh and said, "Don''t you know I''m a prince of the Sanctuary? The people of the Sanctuary possess extraordinary Psionic power that ordinary people don''t have. Do you really think you can kill me with just that gun?"


    Rulu also laughed, "If it were anyone else, I wouldn''t be so sure, but you''re different, Prince Suwen. I know that you are the most mediocre prince of the Sanctuary. You''re just a beginner Ultra-capable, with Psionic power so weak it''s almost nonexistent. Don''t even need me; any ordinary person could kill you!"


    Prince Suwen''s eyes flashed with fear as he said, "Who are you? Where did you hear about these things?"


    "If you don''t want to die, shut up and just answer my questions!" Rulu raised his hand, aiming the gun at Prince Suwen''s head. This made Prince Suwen comply immediately. "Alright... I understand. Ask whatever you want, and I''ll tell you everything."


    After a moment of thought, Rulu recalled the conversation between Prince Suwen and Feihu General earlier and asked, "I heard that you came here on the Emperor''s orders to find a green-haired woman. Is that correct?"You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version.


    "You already know that?!" Prince Suwen''s forehead was beaded with sweat, realizing that the Emperor had strictly warned him not to leak this information, yet it had already been exposed so quickly.


    "What does that woman look like?" Rulu asked again.


    "Well..." Prince Suwen''s eyes gleamed with cunning as he said, "She''s about 1.5 meters tall, slightly overweight, yellowish skin, a big nose, and small eyes..."


    "Stop right there!" Rulu interrupted Prince Suwen, saying, "It''s not that easy to lie to me. I''ll ask you again: what does that woman look like?"


    This time, Rulu''s tone was peculiar, and the eyes behind the white mask flickered with an eerie light. Prince Suwen, upon being stared at by Rulu, suddenly relaxed, leaning back comfortably in his chair with a calm expression.


    "She''s about 1.68 meters tall, looks around seventeen years old, has a瓜子脸 (oval-shaped face), a slim figure, very fair skin, and long hair..."


    "So it really is that woman," Rulu thought to himself. After hearing Prince Suwen''s description, he could confirm that the Emperor was looking for the same green-haired woman who had given him Spiritual-power earlier. He asked again, "What''s that woman''s name? Why is she so important that the Emperor must find her?"


    Prince Suwen shook his head, "I don''t know. The Emperor only told me about her appearance and her ability to never die. He didn''t reveal much else to me."


    "It seems this woman is indeed very important. The Emperor wouldn''t even reveal much information to his own son," Rulu thought. At this moment, he was using Spiritual-power to control Prince Suwen, ensuring that the prince wouldn''t lie to him. Rulu said, "Alright, now I want to ask you about something else."


    "Please, go ahead," Prince Suwen said calmly and cooperatively.


    "Do you know about the 75th Imperial Concubine of the Sanctuary and her children?"


    "I do." Prince Suwen slowly began, "The 75th Imperial Concubine was the 75th wife of the Emperor of the Sanctuary. About twenty years ago, she was chosen by the Emperor and brought into the Sanctuary, where she bore the Emperor a son and a daughter. About seven years ago, the concubine and her children were assassinated by an assassin. The concubine and her daughter died in the assassination, but her son managed to escape. Shortly after the assassination, the young prince left the Sanctuary. It''s rumored that the Emperor exiled him, leaving him to fend for himself in the outside world..."


    "That''s exactly right," Rulu said, growing excited and his voice trembling slightly after hearing Prince Suwen''s words. "I have one more question for you: do you know who planned that assassination? Who was the mastermind behind it?"


    "I know a little."


    "Who was it?!" Rulu asked urgently.


    Prince Suwen replied, "Many people were involved in this event, and many were worried about exposure, so they didn''t reveal their identities. The mastermind behind the assassination is still unclear, but it''s certain that all those involved were members of the royal family, mostly the Emperor''s children."


    "Why? Why would they kill their own relatives? What was the reason for doing this?!" Rulu clenched his teeth in anger.


    Prince Suwen explained, "At that time, the 75th Imperial Concubine was the Emperor''s most beloved wife, and her children, especially her son, were extremely intelligent with a rare talent for magical Psionic power. The Emperor had the intention of grooming this prince as his successor, which threatened the interests of most royal family members. Many were afraid that when this prince grew up, their positions in the Sanctuary would be threatened, so they conspired to carry out the assassination."


    "So that''s how it was. These despicable scoundrels!" Rulu said through gritted teeth, slamming his fist hard on the wooden table beside him, producing a loud "thud."
