Chapter 286: Journey to Liao City

Chi Nan Yi's eyes concealed a hint of joy, but the two people before them did not notice.

Chi Nan Yi said lightly, "Furn City Lord, do you perhaps think I am idle?"

"Divine Doctor Si Yi's medical skill is outstanding, and this City Lord admires it, but the chance to meet the Gate Master does not come at any time, nor is it available to just anyone. Because of your medical skill, this City Lord intends to recommend you; you must think carefully and not miss this good opportunity."

Chi Nan Yi thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "Very well, since the City Lord invites me, I can go take a look, but if the City Lord deceives me—I'm sure you know—I am not a saintly man or woman; the blood on my hands, though not as much as the City Lord's, is still considerable."

"Hahaha." Seeing her nod, Furn Tian laughed a few times, "Rest assured, after you meet the Gate Master, you will be grateful to this City Lord."

Chi Nan Yi smiled, "Alright, I'll remember that. If I truly meet the Gate Master, I will definitely thank you properly."

Upon hearing this, Yun Li stepped forward slowly and stopped half a step away from Chi Nan Yi.

The look in her eyes carried a full sense of aggression.

"Young master, if you can enter our Seek Dragon Gate, then we shall be considered fellow disciples." She slowly raised a finger, the fingertip brushing across Chi Nan Yi's diagonal collar, "No one has ever escaped my charm technique; you are the first. Once you enter the Seek Dragon Gate, we will have many opportunities together; you will surely come to know Yun Li's virtues."

Smelling the perfume on her, Chi Nan Yi couldn't help but frown.

She stepped back, said coldly, "Miss Yun Li, you should change the perfume on you! It's terribly pungent."

Her smile froze; Yun Li glared coldly, "You dare say this lady is pungent? You're the first; let's see how it goes!"

After speaking, she turned and left.

"You'd better pray to gain the Gate Master's favor, otherwise this lady will kill you with my own hands."

She finished speaking, then used light skill to vanish in an instant.

The such speed startled Chi Nan Yi.

It was even faster than herself.

It seems this Seek Dragon Gate truly hides hidden talents, not to be underestimated.

"In a few days I will set out for Liao City; the Gate Master will be waiting there, and you should go with me then!"

"Alright." After speaking, she took out a pill, "Earlier I examined the City Lord's pulse; his internal injuries have not healed for a long time, accumulating in one spot and becoming a chronic ailment. This pill cannot cure the root cause, but it can restore seventy percent."

Seventy percent!

"Really?"

"Indeed."

He took the pill, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes, and swallowed it outright.

Watching his action, Chi Nan Yi's lips twitched slightly.

When she returned to the inn, she found it empty; only a note remained in the room.

"Thank you, little friend, for saving my life. I am a wanted criminal being pursued within the city; I do not wish to involve you. I will keep this gratitude in my heart and will surely repay it."

Seeing the strong, vigorous characters on the note, his brows tightened.

It would not be easy to evade the City Lord's mansion's search and spies.

During the next two days, Chi Nan Yi again interrogated Qing Lang and Cang Ying separately, asking many questions about the Seek Dragon Gate.

"Ha, you think you can move the Seek Dragon Gate with your own power? Dream on!"

Seeing Qing Lang's ferocious look, Chi Nan Yi gave a faint smile, "With your own power? Do you know who stands behind me?"

"Who?"

"They are the heroic spirits of tens of thousands of Daqi soldiers killed by your Seek Dragon Gate, the White Family, the Situ Family with hundreds of members, and the vengeful souls of all the civilians your Seek Dragon Gate slaughtered. So, do you still think I am alone?" She walked slowly to Qing Lang's side, looking down from above, "Rest assured, you know how your Seek Dragon Gate has massacred people; this time, I will make you repay a thousandfold, a hundredfold."

A mouthful of blood foam spurted from Qing Lang and Cang Ying's mouths, their chests collapsed rapidly, and in an instant they ceased breathing.

"Soon, the Seek Dragon Gate's people will go down to accompany you."

He released a sparrow, which flew out of the city at great speed.

A few days later, the sparrow perched outside Lanxi's window.

Lanxi looked at the white feather on the sparrow's head, and her eyes brightened.

This is a bird raised by the Gate Master!

Opening the note, Lanxi's complexion instantly darkened.

"How can this be? To think the plan was aimed at ordinary civilians!" She heavily pounded the table, "Someone, come!"

"Miss Lanxi."

"Send people to Yuping Village, protect the Chi Family at all costs; any who try to harm them, leave none."

"Yes!"

"Send another messenger to Prince Li's residence, personally inform Prince Li that in the capital now, apart from the Chi Family, no one should be fully trusted."

By the time Lanxi finished these orders, Chi Nan Yi had already left with Furn Tian for Liao City.

Liao City is not far from here; a fast horse with a whip can reach it in three days.

Prince Li's study.

Mo Junyan looked at the black-clad man standing before him, his brows tightly knit.

"Dark Pavilion?"

"Correct, I come by order of the Pavilion Master to deliver a message."

Scanning the contents of the letter, Mo Junyan's mind was shaken.

This Dark Pavilion is actually Chi Nan Yi's faction!

Indeed, this Dark Pavilion clearly rose after her rebirth, becoming a force that even he feels a bit wary of.

Besides her, who else could achieve this?

"The Pavilion Master says, in the capital, apart from the Chi Family, please, Prince, do not trust anyone."

"Where is your Pavilion Master now?"

The man in black shook his head, "The Pavilion Master's whereabouts are hidden; we do not know."

"This Prince understands. If one day we find your Pavilion Master, remember to tell her; this Prince greatly misses her."

The man hesitated, then nodded: "Yes, the letter has been delivered; I take my leave."

He flickered and quickly left the study.

Just then, Yun Tian walked in holding a tea cup.

"Your Highness."

Evading all the watchers of the Prince Ding'an manor, even slipping past one's own personal Dark Guard, shows how formidable the Dark Pavilion's members are.

Yun Tian set down his tea, about to withdraw, when he heard a low voice from behind: "All the guards and Dark Guards on duty in the manor today are to return to camp for reorganization."

"Ah?" Yun Shui couldn't help but startle.

"Return to camp for reorganization?"

"Have they violated some heavenly law?"

"Your... Your Highness..."

Mo Junyan tapped the letter on the table.

"You can't even guard the study, a place of importance; I haven't twisted your necks yet, which is already a great leniency."

Seeing the special pattern on the letter, Yun Shui hurriedly knelt: "I have neglected my duty; it's just... just... today's guard was Yun Shan; I merely brought you a bowl of tea."

"Then tell Yun Shan that before his internal energy increases by thirty percent, he need not come to attend me."

Yun Shan, who was standing guard outside, sneezed; he looked up and saw that the weather was getting colder and colder.

Just as Yun Shui was about to rise, he heard Mo Junyan continue: "You, before your internal energy increases by fifty percent, need not appear again."

Hearing this, Yun Shui knelt again.

"Your Highness, spare my life, I..."

"Get out."

"Yes..."
