Chapter 105: The conspiracy of the Yunlu Academy, Xiao Ming

Lord Dingtian was a long-famed great expert.

His appearance was something even Master Yu didn't dare to neglect.

The Second Imperial Prince Li Xian, behind his master, saw Master Yu's enthusiastic appearance and felt a burst of disdain in his heart.

When I came, you left me out for more than half an hour; when my master came, you welcomed him—sure enough, you are a scholar who knows how to adapt.

Lord Dingtian and Master Yu weren't in a hurry to talk about seizing power; at the beginning, they were exploring academic views and insights in various fields.

After three rounds of drinks, Lord Dingtian indicated that he would definitely support Li Xian and asked for Master Yu's opinion.

Master Yu was still pulling here, asking Lord Dingtian if he had any certainty; if you don't have the means to win, I won't mix with you.

This was hinting for Lord Dingtian to reveal his trump card.

Master Yu was a scholar and cared very much about his reputation; he had finally reached this point, so he couldn't be labeled with the name of seizing power and regicide.

Lord Dingtian glanced at Li Xian, meaning for Li Xian to go out first.

Li Xian didn't understand; you are helping me seize power, what's there to be embarrassed about telling me?

However, he still left the Star-Gazing Tower very sensibly.

I don't know what they talked about, but in the end, Master Yu agreed to help, but wouldn't reveal his true identity.

Actually, during this period, the Third Imperial Prince also sent people to find Master Yu, offering very high conditions, much higher than the Second Imperial Prince, and even revealed that there was a Sage Realm expert standing on his side.

But Master Yu was someone who wouldn't release the eagle without seeing the rabbit; the Third Imperial Prince didn't say who the Sage Realm expert helping was, while the Second Imperial Prince had invited his master over. Master Yu felt the Second Imperial Prince's side was reliable, so naturally, he chose to support him.

On the way back, Li Xian asked Lord Dingtian what he used to move Master Yu; Lord Dingtian didn't answer, instead saying: "You don't believe your master?"

Li Xian hurriedly lowered his head and respectfully indicated: "Disciple knows he was wrong; everything listens to Master."

Lord Dingtian was a person who hid very deep, not even willing to reveal his trump card to his disciple.

The fewer people who knew about these things, the more safety there was.

In other words, he had cultivated until now and only believed in himself; he couldn't trust anyone.

Even his Dao companion, he didn't fully trust.

According to the process, tomorrow Li Xian would lead a team to the Spring Hunt location to scout and arrange the location for the move in advance.

In order not to have accidents, in order not to be backstabbed by teammates.

Lord Dingtian decided not to follow Li Xian and would arrange it alone, fearing that someone in the team would expose him.

Li Xian seemed to have gotten used to his master's mysterious appearance and didn't dare to say much.

It was his master's wife who was good to him, but unfortunately, she didn't come this time.

The two agreed to meet the day before the Spring Hunt, each busy with their own arrangements for now.

Lord Dingtian returned to the inn where he was staying.

But at this time, his Dao companion, Lady Youlan Lady Youlan Xianzi Lady Youlan, said a piece of news.

According to Lady Youlan Lady Youlan Xianzi Lady Youlan, she encountered a very powerful Sage Realm expert in the Imperial Capital, who might be as strong as Lord Dingtian, and this Sage Realm expert lived in the Prince of Jing'an's mansion.

She asked Lord Dingtian if he wanted to recruit this Sage Realm expert to act together.

Hearing this, Lord Dingtian said: "You are confused; at this time, we have already obtained Master Yu's help. Three against the Emperor's one, plus the trump card I refined, is already ten-to-nine sure; why do you have to create extra trouble!"

Lord Dingtian used a tone of reproach, feeling that Lady Youlan Lady Youlan Xianzi Lady Youlan shouldn't reveal her identity at this time.

In order not to let others know his trump card, Lord Dingtian didn't even tell anyone that Lady Youlan Lady Youlan Xianzi Lady Youlan came to the Imperial Capital with him.

"You can rest assured about this; I just had a chance encounter with him, and he doesn't know my identity. If you feel it's inappropriate, I won't contact him, and we will go to the Spring Hunt location to scout tomorrow."

Lady Youlan Lady Youlan Xianzi Lady Youlan felt she was very wronged; she just happened to run into him while eating, and she didn't expect the person opposite to be a Sage Realm expert.

"No need, you don't have to go out these few days; I will take you when the time comes."

"Okay, everything listens to you."

Lady Youlan Lady Youlan Xianzi Lady Youlan was naturally used to Lord Dingtian's way of doing things and could only suppress the grievance in her heart.

Just at this time, Lady Youlan Lady Youlan Xianzi Lady Youlan noticed something, walked to Lord Dingtian's side, smelled him, and then said: "Why do you have the smell of rouge and powder on you?"

Lord Dingtian didn't care and replied casually: "The place where Xian is hiding is in the brothel; don't think too much."

In the luxury cell of the government jail, Ma Hei from the Witchcraft Holy Land was very helpless.

He had only been in the Imperial Capital for two days and had been in jail for two days.

Fortunately, he didn't plan to take the civil service exam; otherwise, his life would be ruined.

However, Xu Zifeng indicated not to worry; they would be released tomorrow morning.

Rest well tonight; according to the plan, they would start going to the Spring Hunt location tomorrow to make arrangements.

Ma Hei didn't think much and started to get used to life in jail.

At this time, a relatively flashy person appeared near the government office.

Xiao Ming from the Ministry of Justice next door had just finished work and ran here specifically to create a chance encounter.

He staked out near the government office entrance for a while and saw a beautiful female constable walk out.

Xiao Ming pretended to pass by, and when Lin Yue'e got close, said: "This constable, have we met somewhere before?"

Lin Yue'e glanced at him, her eyebrows slightly furrowed.

If it weren't for Xiao Ming also wearing an official uniform, he might have been in jail by now. "Do you have something to find me for?" She had seen this kind of clumsy flirting method many times.

"That, actually we met at the Drunken Immortal Tower last time; during the process of my investigation, you arrested the Second Imperial Prince, and I want to understand some situations with you, is that okay?" This was the flirting excuse Xiao Ming had thought about for a long time.

If he asked privately, this kind of strong woman definitely wouldn't agree, so he found official business—the excuse was sufficient.

Coincidentally, Lin Yue'e had also been investigating the Second Imperial Prince recently and asked Xiao Ming what clues he had investigated.

Xiao Ming used this as an excuse to invite Lin Yue'e to eat at a nearby place, chatting while eating.

Hearing Lin Yue'e agree, Xiao Ming was overjoyed in his heart.

Finally met the right person; it seems his master was right to let him come to the Ministry of Justice.

Fortunately, the Sage's remnant soul didn't know his thoughts; otherwise, he would likely be angered to life.

Old man let you go to the Ministry of Justice, and you're there to flirt?

During the meal, the two started to get familiar through exchanging intelligence.

The more they chatted, the more Xiao Ming felt he and Lin Yue'e were a match.

!

Whether it was their position, cultivation, or age, they were about the same.

"So the Second Imperial Prince's hiding place is in the brothel; I said why there were no clues when I sent people to stake out his mansion. It seems your case-handling ability is very strong," Lin Yue'e praised.

"Where, where, I just accidentally discovered it while tracking and investigating the mole in our Ministry of Justice," Xiao Ming didn't know if this intelligence could be said, but he forgot everything when he saw the beauty.

The reason Lin Yue'e started investigating the Second Imperial Prince was that she felt the Second Imperial Prince had thoughts of rebellion.

Lin Yue'e wouldn't allow any situation that could be dangerous to Li Chen to appear; this was her obsession, and she took any matter concerning Li Chen to heart.

Only by doing this could she be worthy of Li Chen's cultivation.

So she immediately planned to go near the brothel to track and investigate, wanting to see what the Second Imperial Prince was doing.

Xiao Ming indicated he could go together; this was a rare opportunity to spend time with a beauty, how could he let it go.

Considering Xiao Ming's case-handling ability, Lin Yue'e naturally agreed.

After more than ten minutes, the two were hiding near the brothel.

Originally, Xiao Ming intended to hide with Lin Yue'e, but Lin Yue'e told him to watch the other entrances, so Xiao Ming had to comply and found a place to stake out.

It had to be said that Xiao Ming's luck was still very strong; he could run into the Second Imperial Prince's tracks just by finding a place.

Seeing the signal Xiao Ming sent, Lin Yue'e also followed.

The two tracked Li Xian all the way and saw Li Xian enter the Yunlu Academy with a mysterious person.

There were many people in the Yunlu Academy, so they couldn't enter and could only wait here.

They waited for a long time; during this period, Xiao Ming felt very happy; in the past, he never had the opportunity to be alone with Chu Ruoyan.

He wished time would stop at this moment forever, and he also hoped the Second Imperial Prince would come out later so he could stay a while longer.

But the Second Imperial Prince was so annoying, walking out just when he was preparing to flirt with Lin Yue'e.

It stifled his words, making him full of malice toward the Second Imperial Prince.

However, compared to the "two" who stole his woman, the Second Imperial Prince didn't count for much; at least he and Lin Yue'e found a topic on the Second Imperial Prince.

Just as Xiao Ming was letting his imagination run wild, the Second Imperial Prince and the mysterious person left the Yunlu Academy, and they continued tracking.

During this period, Lin Yue'e and Xiao Ming both discovered that the Second Imperial Prince was very respectful to this mysterious person, speaking with his head lowered.

Afterward, the Second Imperial Prince returned to the brothel, and the mysterious person arrived at an inn.

In order not to alert the enemy, they only tracked to here.

"Strange, what is the background of that mysterious person? Actually able to make the Second Imperial Prince so respectful."

Lin Yue'e didn't know the Second Imperial Prince's affairs very comprehensively; she had only read the files in the government office and knew what forces the Second Imperial Prince had inside the Imperial Capital.

Coincidentally, Xiao Ming knew; when the Second Imperial Prince and Xu Zifeng were arrested yesterday, he went back to investigate and started guessing: "In the process of investigation, I read the Ministry of Justice's files on the Second Imperial Prince; he has a master, the Sage Realm Sect Master of the Tianyan Divine Sect. Being able to make such a noble Second Imperial Prince show that kind of expression and attitude, I guess it might be his master."

Seeing Lin Yue'e staring at him with expectation, wanting to know the basis for Xiao Ming's guess.

Xiao Ming continued to answer: "There is news that the Second Imperial Prince's master and his master's wife are in seclusion refining a peerless magic treasure. If refining the magic treasure is a cover, then the mysterious person we just saw is his master; only his Sage Realm master could make him show that attitude."

Hearing Xiao Ming say this, Lin Yue'e's pupils began to dilate.

The Spring Hunt was imminent; if the Second Imperial Prince's master came, it was likely he intended to make a move during the Spring Hunt.

No, I must find a way to tell the Emperor about this.

Even if the Spring Hunt's security was tight, if a Sage Realm expert mixed in, it would be hard to detect.

Thinking of this, Lin Yue'e told Xiao Ming to continue staking out near the inn, and she would be back soon.

Xiao Ming's "licker" disease acted up, and he wouldn't refuse any request from the goddess, so he naturally agreed.

He still hadn't reacted to the fact that he was helping Li Chen solve trouble.

If he knew, he would definitely not say these things even if he died.

But then again, as long as Lin Yue'e spoke, he would likely come to help without hesitation.
