He felt that something was wrong with what had happened that day.
Because at some point, even someone as strong-willed as him was slightly shaken.
He was shaken by Wu Yeji.
In Wu Zhe's opinion, this was simply impossible. He only had one sister.
That was the dead Wu Handing.
After Wu Handing's death, he no longer had any restrictions on his family.
That day, Wu Yeji was able to touch him. At that time, he didn't feel anything, but now that he thought about it …
There was definitely something wrong!
"This person's ability might have a certain level of bewitchment. Otherwise, it would be impossible for so many people to fall for it."
Just as Wu Zhe was thinking about these questions, he suddenly realized that there was an additional figure in the dark room.
"Are you thinking about Wu Yeji?"
"Who are you?"
"Are you stupid enough to call the guards at this time? It's too slow!"
The other party's voice was very soft, but Wu Zhe could see it very clearly.
Hearing the other party mention Wu Yeji, Wu Zhe didn't know what the other party's intention was.
Assassin? It didn't seem so. If it was an assassin, he would have died without a doubt.
But if it wasn't an assassin … then what was the point of looking for him?
Perhaps in the past, he did have the capital to fight for power, but after Wu Handing's death, his capital was undoubtedly greatly reduced.
"Who are you? What do you want? "Wu Zhe's face was gloomy.
"Eleventh Highness, we've worked together for so long. Don't you recognize me?"
The existence in the shadows finally walked out. When he appeared in front of Wu Zhe, Wu Zhe's eyes widened.
"Liu Ming?"
In Wu Zhe's impression, the Minister of Finance, Liu Ming, was a very gentle and refined person.
He was always polite and amiable, and there was no sign of his temper at all.
He had never displayed his strength in front of others before.
There were rumors that Liu Ming was very strong when he was young, but that was 20 years ago.
He hadn't fought for 20 years, and he didn't even know if his body had rusted.
"Good evening, Your Highness Wu Zhe."
Although Liu Ming said this, there was no smile on his face at all. There was only coldness.
Even now, Wu Zhe couldn't sense the other party's aura.
If Liu Ming wanted to kill him, he wouldn't even have time to call his guards!
"Lord Liu Ming's strength is really amazing. How many people have you fooled?"
"Deceived? I, Liu Ming, have never said that I am not capable, nor have I said that I have been dispirited for the past 20 years.
Everything is just your conjecture.
But when it comes to concealment, there are a few people in your royal family who are much better than me. "
Wu Zhe frowned slightly.
"You mean Ye Ji?"
"Looks like the person you were muttering about was indeed her!
How is it? Did your little sister give you any special feelings? "
Liu Ming unknowingly took a step forward.
An expert of unknown strength standing so close to him gave Wu Zhe a lot of pressure.
However, he was not very afraid. Even if Liu Ming was very strong, and he was very angry now, that kind of anger could not be blamed on him.
He probably had other motives for coming to look for him today.
For example, Wu Yeji?
"Lord Liu Ming, do you think that this was all arranged by someone?"
"What about you? As one of the parties involved in this matter, what do you think? "
Liu Ming didn't answer. Instead, he asked another question.
Wu Zhe knew that he shouldn't play tricks in front of an angry father.
At this time, even if Liu Ming wouldn't kill him, under the pain of losing his son, Liu Ming might do something ridiculous.
Moreover, Liu Qi was his only son.
"That girl Ye Ji, how should I put it? She does have a face that everyone loves.
Moreover, she is usually so pitiful that people don't feel any danger from her.
But during yesterday's negotiation, I felt that something was wrong. "
"Something was wrong?"
"Yes, Ye Ji's state was very wrong.
I don't know if she can really affect people's hearts, but for a moment, I did feel regret.
To be honest, I'm a heartless person.
Wu Yeji and I weren't familiar with each other.
I feel very strange about the regret I felt. It's obviously not normal. "
"You said that you felt regret?"
"Yes, I can only tell Lord Liu Ming this because I'm not from the inspection department, and I don't have the ability or strength to get involved in this dispute.
I'm very sorry for Liu Qi's death. I also have some responsibility.
However, I really don't know the truth of this matter. "
After Wu Zhe finished speaking, Liu Ming nodded.
"Got it."
Crack!
"Ah! Wu Zhe, what are you doing? "
Just when Wu Zhe thought that Liu Ming was going to leave, he suddenly walked forward and broke one of Wu Zhe's fingers.
"It's just some interest. You won't tell anyone, right?"
Facing the calm Liu Ming, Wu Zhe once again suppressed his anger.
Breaking a finger was nothing. As long as he kept getting more things, it would be no problem.
"Please do as you wish!"
Although Wu Zhe was angry, he really didn't dare to do anything out of line to Liu Ming.
He also didn't dare to threaten him at this time.
His family wasn't strong enough. Although he had more money and resources, the resources and strength were not equal.
Many people wanted to see him fall, so Wu Zhe didn't want to give them such a chance.
"If I find out the truth of Qi 'er's death, I will give the Eleventh Prince a gift."
After saying this, Liu Ming left directly.
Such a promise sounded meaningless, but Wu Zhe knew that Liu Ming would definitely do something.
"Has he completely given up his identity and power as the Minister of Finance?
Even if he was wronged, it's impossible for him to fight against the power of the Empire alone! "
Wu Zhe didn't agree with Liu Ming's behavior.
However, he still praised Liu Ming's courage.
Moreover, the last promise might really bring him some benefits.
"I'm looking forward to it! Yeji! "
…
Wu Yeji was cultivating in her home at this time.
As the 51st Princess, her status wasn't that high.
Although she was assigned a maid, that maid had long been controlled by Wu Yeji with the Sequence.
Therefore, if she were to cultivate in her own home, no one would find out.
However, just as she felt that her strength had improved a little, she suddenly felt that her strength had improved a little.
An inconspicuous Sequence fluctuation appeared beside her.
"This Sequence fluctuation?"
Wu Yeji was a little puzzled. Under normal circumstances, it was very difficult for a Sequence to produce fluctuations.
Unless it was affected by other Sequences.
However, the superiority of the S-Rank Sequence still gave her a perception that ordinary Extraordinaires didn't have.
"Maybe it's an illusion!"
Wu Yeji murmured. She looked around. Other than herself, there was no one else.
Even if she increased her perception range and strengthened her perception, she still didn't feel any response.
No response meant that there was no one.
However, after Wu Yeji said this, she already had a strong sense of vigilance in her heart.
In this world, there weren't so many illusions, and there weren't so many coincidences.
However, when you thought that something was a coincidence, it was very likely that it was disguised as a coincidence just for you to see.
With this thought in mind, Wu Yeji's Sequence began to radiate around her!
Suddenly, a sharp blade dyed black attacked her from the front.
This kind of frontal attack was not only because the opponent was confident in their own strength.
It was also because of the poor perception information.
After all, the eyes could see in front of them. Where they could see, the perception strength would be weaker.
Wu Yeji suddenly stood up. Her ordinary nightgown was pierced by the sharp blade.
The sharp blade almost grazed her waist as it passed through.
It was a close call.
Wu Yeji came back to her senses and felt that her intuition was right.
At the same time, she began to be wary of the opponent's threat.
"Who are you?"
"Your Highness Yeji's strength is truly astonishing.
It's a pity for a beautiful woman like you to die here! "
Liu Ming remained calm in the darkness. During the battle, Wu Yeji's Seducer had the least effect on him.
Although it still affected him, at least it wouldn't affect the battle.
He had to defeat or even kill Wu Yeji in a short period of time. Only then would he be safe.
"You are … Lord Liu Ming?"
Wu Yeji wasn't familiar with Liu Ming, but she was very knowledgeable about the entire Empire's official system.
She had watched many videos of ministers.
Liu Ming, the Minister of Finance, was one of the videos she watched the most.
Their voices were very similar. This was also why Wu Yeji could confirm his identity.
However, what surprised her was that Liu Ming was actually so strong.
Even she felt threatened by that attack just now.
"I didn't expect the usually pitiful Highness Yeji to be such an outstanding Seventh Grade expert."
Liu Ming's evaluation was absolutely spot on.
Only an outstanding expert would be able to avoid such a stealthy attack without knowing in advance that he was coming.
Wu Yeji had dodged it. This was her strength.
"I didn't expect that the usually gentle and refined Lord Liu Ming would actually be a powerful Seventh Grade assassin."
"Not as well hidden as you, Your Highness Yeji."
"Likewise."
Wu Yeji started to circle around Liu Ming.
Liu Ming's attack earlier gave her a rough idea of his strength.
He was very strong, but not so strong that she couldn't fight him.
In fact, to a certain extent, the pressure Liu Ming gave her wasn't even half of what Lü Luo gave her.
Wu Yeji had just focused her Spirit when Liu Ming appeared in front of her.
Swoosh!
The thin black blade blended into the night. Wu Yeji couldn't hear anything apart from the sound of the blade slicing through the air.
Liu Ming's movements were too fast. An ordinary Seventh Grade expert would have been hit by this attack.
Fortunately, Wu Yeji's speed was also top-notch. That was why the two of them were able to fight in such a small space.
After dodging the blade again, Wu Yeji found the perfect opportunity to counterattack.
She abruptly kicked Liu Ming in the stomach.
The impact and reaction force caused her to pull away from Liu Ming in an instant.
Wu Yeji took this opportunity to catch her breath.
Liu Ming wasn't as strong as Lü Luo, but this was a true battle of life and death.
The danger involved was even greater than when she fought Lü Luo.
"Haha!" Liu Ming suddenly laughed in the darkness.
Wu Yeji couldn't understand what he was laughing about. Even so, she still felt a trace of unease.
"What are you laughing about?"
"You're going to die if you laugh."
"Me? Never! "
Wu Yeji's calves tensed up as she sped up.
At this moment, she didn't choose to dodge. Instead, she took the initiative to attack.
After the earlier exchange, she had a rough idea of Liu Ming's strength. The two of them were on par.
That was why offense was the best defense!
When Wu Yeji approached, she flicked her wrist and a dagger appeared in her hand.
Clang!
The weapons clashed. A sharp shockwave caused the entire room to crack.
A clash between Tier-7 experts was naturally extremely powerful.
Even if the two of them compressed their energy in this small room, it wouldn't work. Once they clashed, there would be a lot of noise and destruction.
Clang! Clang!
Clang! The blades kept clashing. The sparks in the darkness illuminated their faces.
Liu Ming couldn't help but sigh when he saw Wu Yeji's stunning appearance. No wonder his son had fallen for her.
This Wu Yeji was truly a disaster.
Such a person shouldn't be a prince or princess of the Empire!
Even he himself would not be able to resist this temptation for too long, let alone the normal people and low-grade superhumans who did not have any abilities.
"Die!"
Liu Ming suddenly gave up on defense and allowed Wu Yeji's blade to pierce his chest. However, at the same time, he also pierced Wu Yeji's thigh.
"Ah!"
Wu Yeji screamed. The pain of her thigh being pierced made her grimace.
She could feel that her aorta had been pierced.
Even if she used energy to stop the bleeding, she would still bleed a lot in the upcoming battle.
If she bled too much, even a Tier-7 Transcendent's combat ability would be greatly reduced.
The other party really wanted to kill her!
Liu Ming pulled out the dagger from his chest. He chose to fight with his life on the line.
He didn't plan to go back after coming here today.
Liu Ming only had one child, Liu Qi, because of his cultivation.
He saw Liu Qi as his successor, the last continuation of his family.
Now that Liu Qi was dead, everything he had gained was meaningless.
There was no future for his family, and he himself had lost the ability to reproduce.
Therefore, neither the Empire's laws nor Wu Yeji's strength could stop him from taking revenge.
Wu Yeji had to die tonight!
With this mentality, Liu Ming's attacks became sharper and fiercer.
Wu Yeji was different. She didn't want to die here.
However, with her thigh injured, her mobility was greatly reduced.
Without the determination to fight to the death, the following battle between the two became even more dangerous.
After fighting for a while, Wu Yeji could only passively defend and try her best not to get hurt.
She hoped to drag out Liu Ming's death in this way.
However, it was all in vain.
