Because of her father, the Prime Minister's daughter had been in and out of the palace from a young age. She was favored by the nobles in the palace, who had deliberately given her the title of 'County Princess'.
On this day, she saw that the peonies in the residence had bloomed, so she invited all the noble ladies to the Prime Minister's Residence to admire the flowers.
Luo Qingyi stayed at the home of Wen Hai, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites. She pretended to be his distant cousin and received the invitation as well. This time, Ji Feichen would be her male companion.
As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the Prime Minister's Residence, they could feel the stench of blood that was about to seep out.
"The Blood Sea has been entrenched here for a long time. I'm afraid this has really become their lair. How can the Prime Minister tolerate them to this extent? "
Luo Qingyi was shocked as well. "The blood qi is so strong that it almost shakes the heavens. Does the Emperor not care? How much power does the Blood Sea have in the Imperial Dynasty? "
Compared to the Yin Ming School, which had only recently interfered with the Imperial Dynasty, the Blood Sea had at least fifty years of preparation. At least half of the officials in the throne room were related to the Blood Sea. Not to mention, the various weapons and elixirs of the Great Hong Imperial Dynasty were all recipes and blueprints provided by the Blood Sea. Although the two families had their own agendas, they were currently in the same boat.
"I'm afraid that the Prime Minister is the Blood Sea's representative in the Imperial Dynasty."
The two entered the residence and were immediately invited to the meeting place.
Although the rumors of the Prime Minister's Residence being haunted had not stopped for the past few days, the Prime Minister's Residence was calm and peaceful. Instead, there was a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere.
"That's strange. Aren't the people in the Prime Minister's Residence worried that ghosts will cause trouble for them?"
Luo Qingyi and Ji Feichen were puzzled as they arrived at the meeting place in the garden.
Pots of peonies in full bloom were placed here. Black as ink, scarlet as blood, golden lamps shining brightly, purple and enchanting …
The two of them had arrived early. There were only a dozen or so noble ladies present. The male companions they brought were either handsome or burly. Although Ji Feichen's Sima appearance was impressive, it was not eye-catching.
Ji Feichen raised his eyebrows and thought of some of the decadent practices of the Great Hong Imperial Dynasty. "Is Mingchi County Lord preparing to do that?"
At this moment, someone came to greet Luo Qingyi. Ji Feichen fixed his eyes on her. She was wearing a navy blue dress with white peonies embroidered on it. He looked rather calm and tranquil.
She asked Luo Qingyi, "Sister, this person beside you is …"
"It's my distant cousin," Luo Qingyi secretly said to Ji Feichen, "Senior Brother, this person is an in-name disciple of the White Lotus Pure Sect."
There was some spirituality between his brows, as though he was a Foundation Establishment cultivator of the White Lotus Pure Sect. Beside her was an expressionless man. He should be the Guardian General of the Pure White Lotus Sect.
Ji Feichen nodded at the two of them in greeting before he looked around absentmindedly.
The woman secretly looked at Ji Feichen and thought to herself, 'Luo Qingyi is a student of Yin Ming School. Is he her distant cousin?' If he wasn't a random person, he must be a disciple of Yin Ming School.
Thus, she shot a look at the Divine General beside her.
The Divine General stomped his feet and secretly pounced at Ji Feichen with a gust of wind.
Ji Feichen's sleeves moved slightly and deflected all the gust of wind. He suddenly reached out and patted the Divine General's shoulder, dispersing the inner strength that he had gathered. "Brother, it's fate that we met. Let's get along well!" He smiled and pulled Luo Qingyi to a seat.
After the two of them left, the woman asked, "How was it?"
"He didn't use any mana. He only used his physical strength to suppress my Guardian King Kong Strength. To be able to do this in a place like Dadu, he should be a Human Realm expert from Yin Ming School. "
"Someone Luo Qingyi went back to her sect to find?" The woman became alert and took a seat with her companion.
The banquet's layout was very stylish. It was luxurious everywhere, showing the grandeur of the Prime Minister's Residence. Pink curtains were carved with mandarin ducks and birds. Pots of peonies were showing their spring fragrance.
But … he seemed to have seen this layout somewhere before?
Ji Feichen looked at it for a while and said, "It seems that this is not a normal Peony Banquet?"
"The beauties are as beautiful as jade and as beautiful as flowers. Don't you understand the deeper meaning of this Peony Banquet? "
Ji Feichen smiled bitterly. "We're here to gather information. This kind of thing …"
Luo Qingyi rebuked, "Do you think I'm not good enough for you?"
Ji Feichen did not say anything. His gaze fell on the peonies in front of him. Beside each curtain, there were red, purple, and black peonies.
Seeing his expression, Luo Qingyi sighed. "Don't worry. There are two banquets at the Peony Banquet. We'll only attend the outer banquet. At most, we'll recite poems and show off our talents. If you want to attend the inner banquet, leave behind a red flower and someone will invite you to the Peony Pavilion. If you want to leave, leave behind a black flower and someone will take us away. As for the purple flower, if you like someone else at the banquet, you can pick the black peony below and give it to them. If the other party wears it on their head, it means that they're secretly in love. We can exchange partners at the Peony Pavilion later. "
"It sounds like this isn't your first time here, right?" According to Luo Qingyi's personality, the Peony Pavilion was a place she frequented.
Suddenly, Luo Qingyi pinched Ji Feichen's waist. "Junior Sister, you've been dealing with the people from the Blood Sea every day. How would you have the mood to play with these mortals? I'm afraid that if I really use the Plucking Technique, people will die here every day! I've never been to the Peony Pavilion! Here, I'm a chaste girl! "
Chaste? Ji Feichen shook his head. Seeing Luo Qingyi's angry face, he was smart enough not to refute her directly.
After a while, the ladies from the various families arrived. He even saw someone there.
"Li Jingxun?"
Seeing that Li Jingxun was there, Ji Feichen immediately hid his expression and shrunk to the side without saying a word. Now, he appeared with the face of Sima. He was a spy from the Yellow Faction of the Demon Sect's Yin Ming School. It was not convenient for him to meet Li Jingxun.
As soon as their eyes met, he immediately left. Even Li Jingxun did not notice anything strange.
"Looking at her face, she seems to be doing well these days?"
Li Jingxun ate and drank well. Today, he even received an invitation from the Mingchi County Magistrate. His days were indeed good. It was just that he had lost his freedom and was constantly being watched. She and Li Feiming were here to represent the Li Residence.
Li Jingxun and Li Feiming sat down. Luo Qingyi said coldly, "Cousin, how dare you let me come to such a filthy place?" Seeing the peony flowers in front of her, she immediately understood the meaning of this banquet.
"Don't worry, just leave later. I'll have some fun here." Li Feiming looked around. Not long after, the Mingchi County Magistrate also came with her male companion.
Seeing the elegant Mingchi County Magistrate, all the men present sighed.
Indeed, under the contrast of Mingchi County Magistrate, many noble ladies were overshadowed. They could not be compared to her at all.
Seeing Li Feiming's expression, Li Jingxun secretly frowned. "Although my cousin is lustful, he came from the military. He shouldn't be unable to control himself."
Li Jingxun's bright eyes had a natural charm. Looking at the Mingchi County Magistrate, he suddenly felt a pink mist rising, making it hard for him to see clearly.
Ji Feichen also felt that something was not right.
"That's strange. How can this person affect my emotions?" Ji Feichen secretly pinched a talisman to maintain his clarity of mind.
Luo Qingyi looked at the County Magistrate and said unhappily, "Senior Brother, the person beside her is the eldest son of the current Minister of Justice. I heard that he is her guest. This woman is dissolute and should not be approached. "
"Oh? Does this mean that her private life is very messy? "
"Yes. There are at least a dozen people who are related to her. Senior Brother, please do not provoke her. "
Why would such a person talk about love with a poor scholar? Could it be true love? If it was true love, she wouldn't have held a Peony Banquet immediately after he was kicked out, right?
Ji Feichen felt that there was more to this matter. He looked at the Minister of Justice again and felt a familiar fluctuation from him.
"Isn't this my Biechao pearl mark? It's actually on him? "
…
Peng Shaoyu followed the mark that Ji Feichen left on the three spirits and arrived at the Minister of Justice's mansion in the city.
However, he walked around the mansion and could not find the person that the spirits were relying on. He then contacted Ji Feichen. "I say, is the imprint you placed effective or not? Why can't I find anyone in the Minister's mansion? "
"No need to look." Ji Feichen looked at the handsome young man beside the Mingchi County Magistrate. His body still had the mark that he had left behind.
Without a doubt, he was the medium that a thousand years old spirit was relying on.
"But there are two mediums. One is the fiancé of the Mingchi County Magistrate, and the other is her lover. No matter how I look at it, there must be a problem. "
"As for the location of the third mark." Ji Feichen hid his hands in his sleeves and was secretly shocked.
A silver light suddenly appeared on the Mingchi County Magistrate's body. But in the next moment, she retracted her expression and raised her cup, "Since all of you are here, let me give you a toast."
The girls stood up and drank with her.
Secretly, a special magical power emerged from the Mingchi County Magistrate's body and rushed towards Ji Feichen's mark.
"Oh? What a good way to hide it! Even I didn't notice that this woman has a cultivation base! "Ji Feichen turned his hand and activated the Nine Cloud Talisman, using the Golden Cloud Talisman.
The Golden Cloud Demon Breaker secretly activated the golden light and pierced the Mingchi County Magistrate's heart meridian.
But there seemed to be a thick layer of Yin magical power in the County Magistrate's body, slowly dispelling the golden light.
In an instant, Ji Feichen was shocked. Everything was connected.
"What a smart woman. She hid it well. This person is actually a Human Immortal expert who is not inferior to us?"
