Chapter 2062: Aftercare

Ye Liuyun really couldn't be bothered to say anything more to the two of them.

He simply focused on piloting the Flying Boat, speeding away at full throttle.

"Where are you going?

Isn't this the road back to the Sect?"

Zhang Minghui saw it and quickly shouted out.

"We can't go back yet.

We can only return after our suspicion has been cleared."

Ye Liuyun said.

"How do we clear the suspicion?"

Bai Feng also asked.

"Someone will take the blame for us!"

Ye Liuyun replied offhand.

At that moment, he ordered his clone to take the Crown Prince's corpse and the four Mid‑Eighth Realm Martial Cultivators, teleport them back to the camp via the Black Tower, and hand the corpse to Yu Xiaofeng.

Yu Xiaofeng immediately had the body impaled on a spear and raised it before the two armies' formations.

The four Mid‑Eighth Realm Martial Cultivators were also left by Ye Liuyun for Yu Xiaofeng.

Ye Liuyun also relayed some information he had gathered from the Crown Prince's Sea of Consciousness: "The Eastern Kingdom no longer has much strength now.

Their elite warriors have been largely depleted.

Originally they cooperated with the Ten Thousand Merchants Alliance; if they could topple the Profound Heaven Sect, they would gain the Alliance's support.

But that can no longer be achieved.

You can fight here without worry."

"Will the Ten Thousand Merchants Alliance cooperate with them?"

Yu Xiaofeng asked in surprise.

Ye Liuyun replied: "I estimate the Ten Thousand Merchants Alliance is only using them temporarily; they won't cooperate sincerely.

Nevertheless, true or false, you don't need to act against the Alliance now; I'll inform you when an opportunity arises!"

Afterwards, the clone used the Black Tower to teleport back to Ye Liuyun's Space World.

After dealing with the Crown Prince's corpse, Ye Liuyun still had to help Bai Feng and her disciple find an excuse for this outing.

Li Yun Guang brought elite fighters to kill Bai Feng; the East Sea King certainly knows.

But he was inexplicably slain by Ye Liuyun, so he will definitely investigate.

Therefore he must provide Bai Feng with an alibi.

He had Li Jian assist in going to the Grand Hall of missions, locate a distant bandit‑suppression task, and then rushed there with Bai Feng and Zhang Minghui.

Along the way he also had to explain to them why they needed to undertake the bandit‑suppression mission.

"You complete the mission yourselves, then you can return to the Sect.

We cannot go back together.

After returning, don't tell anyone that you saw me outside the Sect, and certainly don't mention seeing Li Yun Guang.

If anyone asks about your whereabouts, just say you came to suppress bandits."

After instructing them and delivering them to the spot, Ye Liuyun finally retrieved the Flying Boat.

He hid far away, secretly protecting them.

He was worried those two idiots would be duped by bandits.

In the end the bandit‑suppression failed, and they even got caught.

But this time it was okay.

Perhaps because they recognized those people as bandits and showed no mercy, they cleared the whole gang, completed the Sect's task, and then rushed back.

Ye Liuyun followed them all the way until they entered the Sect; only then did he relax and also returned to the Profound Heaven Sect.

Sure enough, as soon as Bai Feng and the others reentered the Sect, several Elders from the Eastern Kingdom surrounded them.

But within the Profound Heaven Sect.

They didn't dare to act openly.

"Ignore them; they're not the Sect Leader, so why should we answer their questions.

If they have doubts, let them go to the Sect Leader first."

Ye Liuyun gave them some advice.

Bai Feng repeated it accordingly.

Those Eastern Kingdom Elders really had no recourse against her; they could only go to the Sect Leader.

Thus, with the Sect Leader present, Bai Feng finally explained that she had gone with Zhang Minghui to suppress bandits, and produced evidence.

"Have you never seen the Crown Prince, or his guards?"

An Elder asked.

"Never seen them!"

Bai Feng answered bluntly.

No matter how they pressed, Bai Feng had never seen them and didn't know.

Sect Leader Yao Dong Lai also naturally defended Bai Feng, insisting it wasn't Bai Feng's fault.

The Eastern Kingdom people couldn't ask any further, so they went back to the bandit‑suppression site to verify, and of course found nothing abnormal.

They were also puzzled; chronologically, the Crown Prince's corpse shouldn't have ended up with the Death Legion outside Blood Cloud City.

But Bai Feng could find no discrepancy at all.

They also inspected the Crown Prince's battlefield, found no trace of Bai Feng or Zhang Minghui, so they could not confirm that Bai Feng was responsible.

They once considered sending people to seize the Crown Prince's corpse to see if there were any traces.

But the people they sent were killed by the few Elders that Ye Liuyun had subdued.

Yu Xiaofeng only hung the Crown Prince's head on a long spear, burned the body to ash, leaving them with a death that could not be proven.

After Bai Feng returned, she kept training with Zhang Minghui and no longer left the house.

The sect, to protect the master–disciple pair, deliberately cancelled Zhang Minghui's sect assignments, allowing her to train peacefully within the sect.

The Eastern Kingdom, helpless, could only have Li Xingrou and Murong Tian assign people to monitor the movements of the master and disciple, and continue to investigate the true murderer of the Crown Prince.

However, Li Xingrou's addiction to poison was growing heavier at this time.

When Ye Liuyun left the house, Li Xingrou had actually already come looking for him.

But Ye Liuyun was not there, so she could do nothing.

After she finished taking her beauty‑preserving pills, she could only come back to look for Ye Liuyun.

Seeing that Ye Liuyun was still absent, she nearly went mad.

Fortunately, Qing Yan knew her purpose, said she could give her own beauty‑preserving pills for her to use first, and also took the opportunity to charge her a large sum.

But at that time Li Xingrou only needed any pills, didn't care how much money it cost, and immediately agreed.

Later, Li Xingrou had people lie in wait near Ye Liuyun's residence, and to report to her as soon as he returned.

So when Ye Liuyun just returned home, Li Xingrou followed.

"Junior brother, you've been away from the sect for so many days—where have you been?"

Li Xingrou began questioning Ye Liuyun as soon as she entered.

"Oh! A friend from the Shui family passed by and brought me some special medicinal herbs.

I didn't want her to detour to the sect to deliver them, so I went to meet her."

Ye Liuyun brought out what the Shui family gave, assuming she wouldn't verify it.

Shui Bingyue has now, after much wishful effort, entered the Eastern planting base.

However, according to the schedule, she should still be on the road and hasn't arrived yet.

Li Xingrou wasn't truly interested in where he was going; she just asked casually.

"Junior brother, if it weren't for that little maid of yours, I wouldn't have been saved! She gave me some beauty‑preserving pills, which kept me going these many days.

Could you make me a larger batch at once?"

Li Xingrou wanted Ye Liuyun to produce more for her at once.

"Oh?

She still has beauty‑preserving pills in her hand?

Those were the pills I made for her a long time ago.

I didn't expect she'd still keep them."

Ye Liuyun first hinted that Qing Yan had no stock left, then explained to Li Xingrou: "Senior sister, it's not that I don't want to make more for you at once, but the beauty‑preserving pills are a slow, meticulous craft; you can't produce many at a time, and it takes a lot of time."

Ye Liuyun felt the time had come to start closing the net.
