Chapter 1920: Plan Successful

The Hall Master and the Alchemists also came to visit Ye Liuyun and expressed their indignation.

"That's outrageous, they actually dared to murder an Alchemist in public!"

After Lin Xiyao gave Ye Liuyun the Healing Elixir, and the many Alchemists left, Ye Liuyun finally began to treat his wounds.

"Don't worry, I'm fine!"

Ye Liuyun also comforted Lin Xiyao.

"At least this Healing Elixir wasn't wasted; it actually came in handy for you!"

Lin Xiyao sighed.

The injuries on Ye Liuyun's body had already nearly healed before the elixir's effects even took hold.

"Huh?"

"Your wound..." Lin Xiyao, seeing Ye Liuyun's wound suddenly heal, was so startled she didn't know what to say.

"Oh, I already took the Healing Elixir earlier!"

Ye Liuyun blurted out the nonsense.

"Oh!"

Lin Xiyao then nodded.

Then she asked Ye Liuyun, "Who have you made an enmity with?"

"Why would anyone come to kill you?"

She also realized that those people truly intended to kill Ye Liuyun and weren't particularly interested in her.

Ye Liuyun shook his head blankly, pretended to ponder, and said, "In this Royal City, aside from you, everyone else I met just today, so how could there be any enemies?

But I guess those who want to kill me will soon come to probe my condition and see how badly I'm wounded.

Then we'll know who it is!"

Lin Xiyao also thought it reasonable and immediately asked, "Then I'll have the Hall Master assign someone to guard this place!"

"No!"

Ye Liuyun quickly stopped her.

"Why?"

Lin Xiyao was a bit puzzled.

Ye Liuyun had to explain, "You didn't see that those people are all masked! It shows that whoever wants to kill me doesn't want to act openly."

So they definitely won't strike here.

They're just coming to look; you don't need to be nervous.

If we make the guard too strict, and he dares not come, we won't be able to find anyone.

I can't just stay indoors forever, can I?"

"Oh, I see! Then fine, I'll stay here with you!"

Lin Xiyao then sat down again.

"It's fine, no need to be nervous.

My wound is healed now; I'll grill some meat for you, bring out the wine, and we'll eat and drink while we wait."

Ye Liuyun said that, then led Lin Xiyao to the courtyard to start a fire and grill meat.

"You're really something; you can actually eat this!"

Lin Xiyao still thought Ye Liuyun was too carefree.

"What else?

Just waiting makes us nervous, and it's easy for others to notice.

We'd be better off staying natural."

Ye Liuyun smiled.

Lin Xiyao nodded and agreed.

She indeed needed to relax her tense nerves.

After eating and drinking with Ye Liuyun for a while, she truly relaxed.

"Xiyao!"

At that moment, Mu Lianqing's voice suddenly came through.

"I heard you got into trouble, so I came right away to check on you!"

Mu Lianqing ran while shouting, seeming very concerned.

"Who did you hear that from?"

Lin Xiyao immediately realized that the one who sent people to kill Ye Liuyun might be Mu Lianqing.

"I have many friends in the Alchemist Alliance! Huh?"

"Young Master Ye is also there?"

"I heard you were also injured?"

"How come you're still eating and drinking?"

Mu Lianqing looked at Ye Liuyun, gave a once-over, and then asked again.

"Which friend told you that?"

Lin Xiyao pressed further.

Ye Liuyun immediately sent Transmission Voice to Lin Xiyao: "I see through it but won't reveal it.

You open the door for him, I'll deal with him! Don't worry, he won't dare act here."

Mu Lianqing was also a bit embarrassed, wondering which name to use, when Ye Liuyun proactively cleared the way: "Miss Lin, Mu Young Master kindly came to see you, so don't keep him standing outside talking; let him come in and have a bite together!"

Lin Xiyao received Ye Liuyun's Transmission Voice, and no longer asked further, opened the courtyard gate and let Mu Lianqing in.

But she feared she couldn't help asking Mu Lianqing again, so she instantly tossed out a line, turned and went back into the room, worried.

"You all eat, I'm not eating, no appetite!"

Ye Liuyun was still helping her smooth things over: "Miss Lin may have been a bit frightened.

Unlike me, I'm a despicable person, I care about nothing!"

Mu Lianqing also wanted to test Ye Liuyun's mettle, and moreover to watch that nothing happened between Ye Liuyun and Lin Xiyao, so he immediately started chatting with Ye Liuyun.

"What happened?"

He pretended to ask.

Ye Liuyun also described the incident.

He even emphasized that his Defense Spiritual Soul Attack Artifact saved his life.

Then he took off his Defense Spiritual Soul Attack Artifact, showed it to Mu Lianqing, and asked Mu Lianqing.

"The one you wear around your neck is a higher‑grade Defense Spiritual Soul Attack Artifact, right?"

"Tsk tsk, you're a prince, who would dare attack you; wearing this is pure waste!"

He said that, and seemed to greedily glance at Mu Lianqing's artifact.

"An eighth‑grade Spiritual Soul Defense Artifact!"

Mu Lianqing would never fail to understand the meaning behind Ye Liuyun's look.

He immediately took that artifact off and handed it to Ye Liuyun: "Since this thing is so important to Brother Ye, I, with my higher grade, will give it to you! You saved Xiyao tonight, I should thank you!"

While saying that, he also withdrew the Divine Sense inside the artifact and generously handed it to Ye Liuyun.

In truth, he thought to himself, let you wear it for two days.

Another day he'll invite you out and then kill you directly; this thing will still be mine.

"How could you be so shameless!"

Ye Liuyun said that with his mouth, but his hand directly took it.

"Brother Ye, no need to be formal, we're all comrades!"

Mu Lianqing said that aloud.

But in his heart he was mocking Ye Liuyun's lack of insight.

"Then I'll try it first!"

Ye Liuyun, while speaking, input the Divine Sense and placed the artifact on his own neck.

Then he smiled at Mu Lianqing, and two streams of Divine Sense immediately surged into Mu Lianqing's Sea of Consciousness.

Mu Lianqing only then realized he had been duped.

But he still pretended to stay calm and asked, "Brother Ye, what do you mean?"

Ye Liuyun, however, disregarding everything, directly performed Soul Search and planted a Slave Seal.

"Not bad! Everything is proceeding according to plan, very smoothly, I didn't get beaten for nothing!"

Ye Liuyun finally let out a sigh of relief in his heart.

Mu Lianqing was extremely unwilling; usually he traps others, but didn't expect to slip up here and have the boat turned over by Ye Liuyun.

But after the Slave Seal was planted, he had no thought of resistance at all.

He could only obey Ye Liuyun completely.

"Indeed, Nanfu King can monitor the whole city, yet cannot monitor here.

Fortunately I made preparations."

The first thing Ye Liuyun searched was this piece of information.

"So it's also related to Lin Luoyi! Lin Luoyi, Lin Luoyi, I wasn't even planning to deal with you, didn't expect you to be endless!"

After that, he discovered that Lin Luoyi also intended to kill him, and immediately wanted to eliminate Lin Luoyi as well.

Lin Luoyi is indeed a Seventh Layer Alchemist, but her actual realm is only mid‑Sixth Layer.

Even though an Alchemist's Spiritual Soul is strong, it should not differ much from Ye Liuyun's.

Ye Liuyun still has a chance to eliminate Lin Luoyi.

The other information, however, matched his expectations quite well.

Nanfu King did not capture the Witch, but according to the intelligence Nanfu King received, the Witch was indeed taken by a Human Race Martial Cultivator.
