A moment later, Weng Haorui's figure appeared.
"Disciple Weng Haorui greets teacher." Weng Haorui respectfully knelt down tens of meters away, not daring to approach the woman who was both a teacher and a teacher.
"Get up." Hu Xiao Li's voice sounded. There was no joy or anger, only indifference.
As she spoke, she extended her palm. A crystal clear water droplet appeared in her palm, emitting a strange aura.
With a flick of her finger, the water droplet landed on Weng Haorui's face. A miraculous scene happened.
Weng Haorui's face changed at a speed visible to the naked eye. Flesh and blood regenerated. In the blink of an eye, it returned to normal as if it had never been injured. It was even more lustrous than before.
"Thank you, teacher." Weng Haorui touched his face, unable to conceal his excitement.
Hu Xiao Li's face suddenly showed a trace of doubt. "Who injured your face?"
"Nie Tian!" Weng Haorui's face showed uncontrollable anger. He recounted everything that happened between him and Nie Tian. In the end, he said, "That kid's strength is too strange. Even Senior Brother Wen Hao's Broken Kui Seven Murders couldn't kill him."
"Hmm?" A peculiar splendor flickered in Hu Xiaoli's beautiful eyes as she spoke in an indifferent tone, "A third-layer Giant Spirit youth was actually able to escape from the Heavenly Prison. Not even Wen Hao was able to kill him. His strength is indeed somewhat strange."
"Yes." Weng Haorui nodded. "That kid is too arrogant. That's why disciple wants to ask teacher to kill him!"
"How dare you!" Weng Haorui's voice had yet to fade and Hu Xiao Li had yet to speak when the young girl beside Weng Haorui tenderly shouted, "Weng Haorui, you've got guts to actually let Teacher kill someone for you. What do you think teacher is? Your killing tool? "
"Disciple doesn't dare!" Weng Haorui's legs went soft and he knelt down.
"Get up." Hu Xiao Li waved her hand and frowned. "Haorui, you must remember that you're from the Ling Xuan Heaven Pavilion, not the Great Chu Crown Prince. You're only pretending to be the Crown Prince. Don't get too engrossed."
Pretending to be the Crown Prince?
If other people heard Hu Xiao Li's words, they would definitely be confused.
Weng Haorui was clearly the Crown Prince of the Great Chu, so how could he be a member of the Ling Xuan Heaven Pavilion?
Hu Xiaoli's words were a little strange.
"But …" Weng Haorui hesitated and said, "Didn't Master tell me to pretend to be the real Weng Haorui when he asked me to pretend to be the Crown Prince? Since this disciple's current identity is the Crown Prince of Great Chu, if this disciple doesn't react when Lu Zhenyuan is killed, it will arouse suspicion. "
Weng Haorui really wasn't the Crown Prince, but Hu Xiaoli had found someone to impersonate him!
If such a matter were to spread out, it would surely cause chaos in the Chu Kingdom!
Without a doubt, the real Weng Haorui was already dead, and the one in front of him was a fake.
Hu Xiao Li had asked someone to impersonate the Crown Prince, so she must be brewing some kind of conspiracy!
Hu Xiao Li slightly wrinkled her brows and immediately said to the woman beside Weng Haorui, "Yuyao, you go with Haorui. Bring this young man back to the Imperial Preceptor's residence. Don't kill him for now. "
"Teacher." The woman named Yuyao slightly bowed and said with an awkward expression, "The person Weng Haorui mentioned is the one who accepted Senior Brother Wenhao's Death Order. Even if I don't kill him, Senior Brother Wen Hao will. "
"Oh?" Hu Xiao Li seemed to have thought of something, and her eyes slightly tilted up as she said, "I'll talk to Wenhao. This youth can't die yet."
"Yes." Yuyao didn't ask why, and immediately left with Weng Haorui.
After the two of them left, Hu Xiao Li stretched out her palm, and a drop of water appeared on her palm. Inside the drop of water was a strand of sword energy.
This sword energy didn't come from anyone else, but from Nie Tian!
When Hu Xiao Li had treated Weng Haorui's face, she had unexpectedly extracted the remnant sword energy on his face and preserved it.
"It's hard to imagine that there's such a pure sword energy in this world." Hu Xiao Li sensed the sword energy in the drop of water, and her delicate face couldn't hide her astonishment.
Hu Xiao Li had seen countless swordsmen, and she had even paid a visit to a Sword Dao Grandmaster in the Sword Spirit realm.
However, there wasn't a single swordsman's sword energy that was as pure as the one in her hand.
Moreover, she could clearly feel that there was a very strange power hidden in this sword energy. It was very pure, and seemed to have a suppressive effect on any kind of power.
Hu Xiao Li murmured, "The power contained in this sword energy might be the key to me opening the Eye of Dusk Scar."
After she finished speaking, she gently raised her finger, and the drop of water fell into the blood-red mark between her eyebrows, causing her whole body to inexplicably tremble.
"It really is effective!" Hu Xiao Li's face revealed joy.
It turned out that the blood-red mark between her eyebrows was actually an innate Other Pupil, called the Eye of Dusk Scar.
For many years, Hu Xiao Li had always wanted to open the Eye of Dusk Scar, but unfortunately, she had never been able to find a way to do so.
Just now, when she was treating Weng Haorui, the Eye of Dusk Scar actually reacted to the sword energy.
Therefore, Hu Xiao Li believed that Nie Tian's sword energy would be the key to her opening the Eye of Dusk Scar. However, she didn't know that what really worked on the Eye of Dusk Scar was not the sword energy, but the power of the stars contained in the sword energy.
The power of the stars was the strange power that Hu Xiao Li had sensed.
"Perhaps, I should personally go and meet this youngster." Hu Xiao Li suddenly had an idea in her heart, and the corners of her mouth slightly curled up, making her demonic face look even more strange.
…
Chu Yang City, the largest teahouse, Rising Sun Teahouse.
Although it had just opened, the teahouse's business was extremely good, and it was already full of people.
At this time, people were scrambling to discuss three major events: One was that Crown Prince Ye's brother-in-law, Lu Zhenyuan, had been killed; the other was that a prisoner had escaped from the Heavenly Prison yesterday; and the third was that someone had caused trouble in the Myriad Spring Courtyard last night.
Overnight, these three events had spread throughout the entire Chu Yang City, and became the focus of everyone's discussion after a meal.
"Have you guys heard that Lu Zhenyuan, the Crown Prince's brother-in-law, a relative of the Imperial Family, was arrogant every day, but yesterday he was unexpectedly killed in the street! Moreover, the killer was a young master in his teens, I wonder if it's true? "
"That's nothing, there's something even more amazing. Yesterday, the Empire's Heavenly Prison was broken into, and a prisoner escaped from the Heavenly Prison. The defense of the Empire's Heavenly Prison is comparable to that of the Imperial Palace. I heard that there are many Imperial Secret Guards guarding it, and those Secret Guards are all True Element Boundary martial artists, how could they let someone escape from the Heavenly Prison? "
"These are all nothing, last night, there was someone who caused trouble in the Myriad Spring Courtyard. I heard that it was a young master of a super big family who bought the Butterfly Pavilion, and of course, not to mention all the girls, he also robbed everyone in the Butterfly Pavilion. This is really an unheard of miracle! "
"…"
The people in the teahouse were never tired of it, and the more they talked, the more excited they became.
At this time, in a corner of the teahouse, two figures were silently sitting there, a strange smile on their faces.
