Hearing this exact reply, the tense nerves of Prince Xue Xing finally relaxed completely.
He leaned against the back of his chair, let out a long sigh of relief, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
Luo Nan was indeed reliable, getting it done the very same night!
"Good! Well done!"
Prince Xue Xing did not spare his praise at all.
"Luo Nan, your working efficiency makes me more and more satisfied."
"Tell me, this time besides that fifty-thousand-year top-grade whale glue, what other reward do you want?"
"As long as I can do it, I will never refuse!"
Luo Nan put down his teacup.
"There is no need for a reward; we are in a cooperative relationship, just taking what we each need."
"However, coming to find you tonight, there is indeed a matter I want you to help me inquire about."
"Oh? What matter?" Prince Xue Xing became interested. A matter that could make Luo Nan take the initiative to ask about was definitely no trivial matter.
"I want you to help me get an item."
"Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud!"
clatter!
The precious jade brush Prince Xue Xing was toying with in his hand instantly dropped onto the desktop, making a crisp sound.
The smile on his face froze instantly, he suddenly stood up, supported his hands on the desk, and stared fixedly at Luo Nan.
"You... What did you say?! Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud?!"
Prince Xue Xing couldn't even care about his demeanor as a prince, walking quickly to the study door.
He looked out vigilantly, confirmed that there was no one around, and then tightly locked the room door.
He turned around, walked quickly in front of Luo Nan, lowered his voice, and roared like a cat whose tail had been stepped on:
"Luo Nan! Are you crazy or am I crazy?! Do you know what that thing is?!"
Looking at Prince Xue Xing's flustered and exasperated appearance, Luo Nan said indifferently:
"Of course I know."
"The national treasure of the Heaven Dou Empire, said to be a Divine Artifact possessing incredible power."
"I am very interested in this thing."
"Interested?"
"Do you know that these three words will cost you your life, and may even cost me my life!"
Prince Xue Xing was so anxious that he hopped on the spot.
"That is a national treasure!"
"It is a top-secret item personally kept by successive Heaven Dou Emperors!"
"Not to mention a prince like me, even the current Crown Prince Xue Qinghe is absolutely impossible to touch that thing!"
"You want me to get the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud for you?"
"You might as well directly let me assassinate Emperor Xue Ye; that would be more straightforward!"
Prince Xue Xing was truly scared.
Seeing Prince Xue Xing's terrified appearance, Luo Nan couldn't help but chuckle softly.
"Your Highness Prince, don't get excited yet, sit down and talk."
Luo Nan waved his hand, signaling him to calm down.
"You misunderstood my meaning. I didn't ask you to steal the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud from the imperial palace and hand it to me."
"Then what do you mean?"
"I just want you to use your authority and connections in the royal family to help me find out which specific location in the imperial palace this national treasure is currently stored in."
A trace of sharp light flashed through Luo Nan's eyes.
"As long as you tell me its exact location, you don't need to worry about the rest."
"No matter what happens, it will absolutely not involve your head."
Hearing that Luo Nan only wanted the location, Prince Xue Xing's expression eased slightly, but his brows were still tightly knitted together.
"Just checking the location..."
Prince Xue Xing paced back and forth in the study, his brain spinning rapidly.
Investigating the location of the national treasure, although the risk was still extremely huge, compared to direct theft, the operational space was much larger.
He had operated in the imperial palace for many years and planted quite a few informants; if it was just beating around the bush to ask about the direction of the treasury, it was not entirely impossible.
After weighing it for a long time, Prince Xue Xing finally stopped his footsteps, gritted his teeth, and looked at Luo Nan.
"Fine! I promise you!"
Prince Xue Xing said in a deep voice.
"However, this matter is no trivial matter; I need time to slowly investigate, and must absolutely not alert the enemy."
"Give me a few days, and after I find out the exact location, I will personally draw an internal map of the imperial palace and hand it to you."
Prince Xue Xing of course knew the approximate location of the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, but he couldn't just hand it over to Luo Nan so easily.
"No problem, I await your good news."
Luo Nan nodded with satisfaction and stood up.
Having achieved his goal, he did not stay long at the Prince's Mansion.
Just like when he came, he left silently.
"..."
Not long after leaving the Prince's Mansion.
Just as he walked to the corner of a remote street, an extremely violent fluctuation of Soul Power suddenly swept over from ahead without any warning!
"Crackling!"
In the originally quiet night sky, an extremely harsh thunderclap suddenly sounded, instantly flashing a large amount of dazzling blue electric arcs.
In the center of this violent thunder light, an extremely hulking figure was slowly walking out from the shadows.
That was an old man who looked to be in his sixties. He wore a deep blue luxurious robe, and his full head of silver hair danced wildly under the reflection of the thunder and lightning.
A pair of eyes as sharp as a falcon's locked tightly onto Luo Nan's body.
Along with his appearance, the surrounding air became extremely oppressive, as if an invisible giant mountain was heavily pressing down on this street.
"Truly, finding it takes no effort after a long search."
Looking at the old man with a monstrous Aura before him, Luo Nan's footsteps stopped.
He of course recognized the person in front of him.
That symbolic violent lightning, that overriding arrogant posture, and that face somewhat resembling Yu Xiaogang and Yu Xiaolie.
The incoming person was precisely the current Sect Master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, the biological father of Yu Xiaogang and Yu Xiaolie.
Possessing the world's number one attack system Beast Spirit, a Super Douluo as high as level ninety-five, the Lightning Douluo, Yu Yuanzhen!
"Who did I think it was!"
Luo Nan crossed his arms, sizing Yu Yuanzhen up and down with a disdainful gaze, his tone filled with undisguised sarcasm.
"Turns out to be the Sect Master of the Rotten Worm Sect, Old Senior Yu Yuanzhen."
"What, beat the small one, and the old one comes out?"
"After so many years, your habit of protecting your calves is still as trashy as ever."
"Insolent!"
Hearing that Luo Nan actually dared to call the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect the Rotten Worm sect to his face, and even dared to curse him as trash, Yu Yuanzhen instantly flew into a rage.
"Boom—!"
A terrifying Soul Power storm burst forth from Yu Yuanzhen's body with a loud bang.
In the space behind him, a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon phantom of unimaginable size, bound with world-destroying thunder, roared up to the sky.
"Luo Nan! You unfilial and rebellious Sect renegade!"
Yu Yuanzhen glared round-eyed, pointing at Luo Nan and shouting sternly.
"Not only are you unrepentant, but you even dared to seriously injure my son Xiaogang and Xiaolie inside Heaven Dou City, and furthermore publicly insulted my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect!"
"Do you really think that after your Spirit successfully mutated and you gained a trace of meager strength, you can be arrogant above everything else?! You are so arrogant!"
