Chapter 592: Awesome Island Country Person_1

~7 min read 1,253 words

Half an hour later, Yamaguchi Momoe and her husband were ready to take a car to the Imperial Palace, and Ye Luo had become one of the many guards in the Yamaguchi Family, completely unnoticed by anyone.

As the car slowly left the estate, the sharp gazes of two hidden Saint Realm experts swept over them, attempting to confirm that Ye Luo was not in the car.

At that moment, Ye Luo held his breath, retracted all his energy, and ensured that he did not emit any aura to avoid detection by the two Saint Realm experts, and finally, they did not notice his presence and subsequently contacted Miyamoto Takeshi.

"Crown Prince, Miss Momoe and Mr. Yamaguchi have headed towards the Imperial Palace, but that youngster was not found," they reported.

After a journey of several minutes, the Yamaguchi Family’s motorcade arrived outside the Imperial Palace of the Island Country, which appeared immensely grand.

Ye Luo activated his Clairvoyant Eye and began scanning the Imperial Palace, discovering many hidden experts within.

He had not yet entered deep into the Imperial Palace when he detected the presence of dozens of Saint Realm experts, the strongest of whom had reached the sixth level of the Saint Realm. He estimated there to be nearly a hundred Innate Experts present.

The Island Country’s Imperial Family truly should not be underestimated—it was no wonder they still held significant sway over the entire Island Country and were respected by all the prominent and influential families.

Even the strength they displayed was enough to make anyone wary, and Ye Luo believed that there were even stronger experts within the palace, although his Clairvoyant Eye had not detected them, he vaguely sensed their presence.

After the motorcade was checked, it entered the Imperial Palace and stopped at a certain location, where a group of Imperial guards approached and led Mr. Yamaguchi and the others towards the interior of the palace, with Ye Luo and the other bodyguards following behind.

As they went deeper, Ye Luo’s amazement at the grandeur of the palace grew—it was on par with Huaxia’s Imperial Palace, and guards patrolled everywhere, with even the least of them being at the Early Phase of the Innate Realm. The defenses were indeed strict.

In such circumstances, rescuing someone and leaving would indeed be challenging to accomplish.

Soon, Ye Luo and his group arrived outside a palace hall, where Yamaguchi Momoe and her husband entered, while Ye Luo and the other bodyguards were not allowed inside. Ruo Bing quietly turned her head and glanced at Ye Luo, her expression somewhat somber.

Ye Luo’s Clairvoyant Eye remained active, surveilling the interior of the palace hall, which held only a few dozen people representing the top-tier family powers of the Island Country. While there were not many people, these individuals stood at the pinnacle of the power pyramid in the Island Country, and a mere move from them could shake the nation.

A few minutes passed, and Ye Luo saw a large group approaching from a distance, flanked by rows of weapon-bearing Imperial guards, and in the center was a man wrapped in a golden robe, slightly overweight and somewhat balding, around fifty years old, who appeared to be the Heavenly Emperor of the Island Country.

By his side was an elegant woman, only in her forties but looking no more than thirty, still charming and full of mature grace—evidently the Empress who was celebrating her birthday today.

Beside them was Miyamoto Takeshi, adorned in lavish attire, followed by a group of elegantly dressed men and women, likely members of the Imperial Family.

As the Heavenly Emperor and others approached, everyone outside the palace hall bowed, with Ye Luo also lowering his head.

As Miyamoto Takeshi passed by, Ye Luo was on alert, sensing that this man was extraordinary and might recognize him from such a close distance.

Fortunately, Miyamoto Takeshi did not notice anything and entered the palace hall directly, allowing Ye Luo to finally breathe a sigh of relief as he relaxed slightly.

Soon, the birthday banquet officially commenced, with everyone in the palace hall offering their congratulations to the Empress, followed by gift-giving just like in Huaxia’s birthday celebrations, and then the regular banquet proceedings.

"Ouch, my stomach hurts, where’s the restroom?" Ye Luo suddenly exclaimed, clutching his stomach in pain.

"What’s wrong with you?" a bodyguard from the Yamaguchi Family asked, looking at Ye Luo.

"I don’t know what’s wrong with my stomach, it hurts so bad, might be something I ate, I need to use the restroom," Ye Luo said with a pained expression.

"What’s the matter?"

At that moment, an Imperial Palace Guard came over and demanded coldly.

The bodyguard then explained Ye Luo’s situation.

"You take him to the restroom!"

The Imperial Palace Guard instructed, pointing to another guard, who nodded and walked up to Ye Luo, saying, "Follow me."

Ye Luo followed the guard, and after a series of turns, they arrived outside a restroom.

"Go in," the guard said flatly.

"Thanks!"

Ye Luo looked up and said, a hint of coldness appearing at the corner of his mouth. Suddenly, he swung his hand, knocking the guard unconscious, then dragged him into the restroom.

It wasn’t long before Ye Luo emerged, but now he was dressed as an Imperial Palace Guard. Clearly, he had changed into the guard’s clothes, which would allow him to blend in and not be exposed too quickly.

Then Ye Luo activated his Clairvoyant Eye, searching for Leng Ruobing.

But the Imperial Palace was truly too large; even though his Clairvoyant Eye could cover a kilometer, she was not so easy to find. Along the way, he encountered several patrols of guards but luckily managed to avoid them all.

"It seems I need to speed up, or I’ll be exposed soon," Ye Luo thought to himself. If he didn’t return promptly, they would surely grow suspicious at the banquet hall, and it would be even harder to find her once he was exposed.

Walking on, Ye Luo came to the outside of a palace with lights on inside but no guards outside. He swept the area with his Clairvoyant Eye and was immediately stunned.

"Damn!"

Ye Luo couldn’t help but curse inwardly, expressing his shock.

The reason for Ye Luo’s astonishment was that inside the palace, a passionate grappling tableau was unfolding.

The passionate encounter would not normally shock him, but if the main characters of this play were the wife of the Heavenly Emperor, the Empress celebrating her birthday today, and the son of the Heavenly Emperor, Crown Prince Miyamoto Takeshi, it was truly shocking.

Yes, the two main characters performing this passionate play were none other than those two, a scene that definitely shocked Ye Luo.

"I’ve always heard that people from the Island Country don’t care about moral norms, but I didn’t expect it to be true. These people from the Island Country are really something," Ye Luo couldn’t help but sigh to himself, silently offering his condolences to the Heavenly Emperor. His own son had given him a green hat, which was truly pitiful.

However, Ye Luo could understand; from the moment he saw the Heavenly Emperor, he knew that the man was no longer capable in that regard.

And the Empress, in her vigorous prime, naturally could not suppress her loneliness. He had not expected Miyamoto Takeshi to be such a beast. Thankfully, Yamaguchi Momoe had rejected the guy; otherwise, it would have been truly unlucky.
