Chapter 489: Top-notch wingman, Dai Xiaoyao! (Please subscribe, please...)

Li Chen let Xuan Ji and Immortal Yunya stay at the Guanhai Building to continue searching for clues about the disciples of the Bamen Qingtian Hall, while he himself left quietly with Dai Xiaoyao.

Seeing the mysterious appearance of the two, Xuan Ji and Immortal Yunya looked at each other, both thinking it was a secret government affair between the two countries, so they sensibly didn't ask more.

After all, one was the May Tian Ce Emperor, and the other was the Star Fall King; some words were indeed inconvenient to say in front of them.

"Sister, let's act separately; I'll check the port, and you go to the cultivator market in the city." Xuan Ji was a workaholic; as long as Li Chen let her do something, she would try her best to complete it; this was her belief.

Immortal Yunya nodded and agreed, but muttered to herself: this Dai Xiaoyao looking at His Majesty, how is it like a brothel madam...

At this moment, Li Chen had already left Linyuan City with Dai Xiaoyao, walking along the winding mountain road for about half an hour.

Along the way, ancient trees towered, vines entangled, and occasionally one could see a few medicinal herbs emitting faint spiritual light.

The further they went, the richer the spiritual energy became, and in the end, even the stone slab road under their feet emitted a faint blue glow.

"Your Majesty, ahead is Qinglin Village. Although this place is remote, it is quiet, and my godmother likes quietness, so she lives here in seclusion to cultivate." Dai Xiaoyao pointed to the village looming in the mist, his face full of flattering smiles.

Li Chen stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping across the surroundings.

This small village looked ordinary, but it was actually full of mysteries; the old locust tree at the entrance of the village was at least a thousand years old, and the natural patterns on the trunk actually formed a concealment array; the layout of several thatched cottages also matched the position of the Big Dipper, which was by no means an ordinary village.

"Your godmother knows how to pick a place; the person who built this is also a master." Li Chen nodded and said.

"Your Majesty is truly amazing; you saw the clues at a glance." Dai Xiaoyao found the right time to take a good flatter.

"Lead the way." Li Chen also wanted to see how precious the treasure Dai Xiaoyao called a treasure was.

"Your Majesty, please this way." Dai Xiaoyao was overjoyed, and his back straightened a bit.

He hadn't stopped talking along the way, from Charles's wolfish ambition in the Yongzhou Empire to Star Fall Kingdom's loyalty to May Tian Ce.

When he was excited, he even patted his chest and guaranteed: "As long as Your Majesty gives an order, my Star Fall Kingdom's 100,000 troops are willing to be the vanguard!"

Li Chen smiled noncommittally; how could he not know Dai Xiaoyao's little thoughts?

Back then, his brother Dai Wuchang defected to the Yongzhou Empire, and it was Dai Xiaoyao who launched a coup to drive him off the throne.

Now this Star Fall King looked loyal, but he was actually just borrowing May Tian Ce's power to protect himself.

However, Li Chen didn't point it out.

The southern countries were like chess pieces on a chessboard; used well, they were sharp weapons to contain the Yongzhou Empire.

What's more... Dai Xiaoyao's mother in the palace was indeed very good at serving people.

"Here!" Dai Xiaoyao stopped in front of a bamboo fence courtyard, with three thatched cottages in the courtyard, and a few spiritual herbs planted in front of the door, emitting a faint fragrance.

He tidied his clothes and knocked gently: "Godmother? Are you there?"

The courtyard was silent.

Dai Xiaoyao was a bit embarrassed and rubbed his hands: "At this time, godmother should have gone to the back mountain to pick herbs. Why don't Your Majesty go in and rest first?"

He said he was going to push the door.

Li Chen waved his hand: "No need, we'll just wait."

As a master with countless experiences, he knew that at this time, the first impression was very important, determining whether the other party could quickly take the bait.

Dai Xiaoyao was also impressed by Li Chen's bearing; no wonder he was the Emperor of a superpower; he really couldn't compare.

In order not to have a cold scene, Dai Xiaoyao started to find various topics.

After chatting for a while, he heard the sound of fragmented footsteps from the forest.

Dai Xiaoyao's eyes lit up: "Godmother is back!"

Li Chen turned and looked, only to see a beautiful figure walking slowly in the morning mist.

The woman was about thirty years old, wearing a plain white dress wrapped around her voluptuous figure, walking like a weak willow in the wind.

Her dark hair was loosely tied with a wooden hairpin, and a few strands of dark hair hung on the side of her snow-white neck, adding a bit of lazy charm.

She carried a bamboo basket, and the herbs in the basket were still covered with morning dew, obviously just picked. ===== CHAPTER 490 =====
