Wei Shu suddenly understood. The reason was so simple. Sending a not-so-smart person into the palace was to make it easier to control.
But thinking about it, wasn't that the case? Once Xiahou Chengyu had a son, would he stand on his son's side or House Xiahou's? The uncontrollable factors were too strong. It seemed that this side had made long-term plans before sending Xiahou Chengyu into the palace.
But the word "a little stupid" made Wei Shu sweat a little. For Xiahou Ling to say such words, he clearly was not very satisfied with Xiahou Chengyu. If Xiahou Chengyu heard these words, he would probably go crazy.
Wei Shu glanced at Xiahou Tuo's reaction. He was still chewing the food in his mouth, half-enjoying it.
"What, my freshwater seafood doesn't taste good?" Xiahou Ling pointed at the delicious food on the plate with his chopsticks, changing the topic again.
Wei Shu smiled bitterly. "Second Master's cooking is at least a hundred times better than mine." He picked up the chopsticks.
"That's the truth!" Xiahou Ling laughed.
Wei Shu smiled along. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but this Second Master's amiable and approachable appearance always gave him an inexplicable feeling of fear and trepidation. He didn't know what was going on. Old Master Xiahou Tuo gave him the feeling that he was deep and unfathomable. However, this Second Master gave off the feeling that if you turned around, he would be staring coldly at you from behind, making your hair stand on end unknowingly.
Of course, this was just a feeling he had without any evidence …
Ying Tian's Palace. The doors and windows were all closed. The light was slightly dim, making it seem deep. Ying Jiuguang sat expressionlessly in the great hall. His eyes were dark.
Zuo 'er stood with her head lowered. She had just reported the situation in the palace to His Highness. She could feel the hidden anger in His Highness' silence.
Why did the Ying Family send Zhan Ruyi into the palace? Wasn't it because they hoped that Zhan Ruyi could be useful in front of Lord Qing? But now, Xiahou Chengyu had driven him out of the palace. It was unknown when he could return. If he left Lord Qing for too long, who knew how long their relationship would last?
In the silence, Ying Jiuguang suddenly asked, "Are you sure Lord Qing means that he can't return without an edict?"
Zuo 'er said, "Everyone knows how much the Green Master dotes on the Heavenly Consort. He wouldn't be so heartless without warning. There's an eighty to ninety percent chance that Xiahou Chengyu is using this as a pretext. "
Ying Jiuguang asked calmly, "Why doesn't Heavenly Consort return to the mansion to see me first?"
Zuo 'er said, "She said that the Empress ordered her to return to her parents' home immediately. The Heavenly Consort didn't want the Empress to have anything on her, so she returned to the manor first."
"Isn't this her maiden home?" Ying Jiu Guang coldly snorted, but he didn't continue to extend his emotions on this topic. He changed the topic: "I don't know if that troublesome guy in the Ghost City really has the guts to make a move on Ying Yang. Anyway, Old Man Kou has no interest in protecting him. Give him a chance to end things as soon as possible. Remember, don't let Old Man Kou get anything on you again. "
Zuo'er understood the meaning behind his words and nodded. "Yes!"
The next day, Ying Yang came out of his training room and went straight to his father's study.
The study was not small. Rows of shelves were filled with ancient books. Ying Yang, who entered the study, looked around but did not see anyone. He couldn't help but try calling out, "Father."
"Here." Ying Wuman's response came from the depths of the study.
Ying Yang bypassed the rows of bookshelves and found Ying Wuman, who was hiding in the back and reading. He cupped his hands in salute and said with a smile, "I wonder what instructions father has for me?"
Ying Wuman glanced at him and conveniently put the books back on the shelf. He walked out with his hands behind his back and asked, "It seems that you haven't gone hunting in a long time, right? You might as well go and play. "
The so-called 'Hunting in the Nether Spring', as the name suggests, was to go hunting in the Nether Spring. Just like the Dang Yin Mountain where the Ghost City was located. The Nether Spring was also in the Netherworld, but it was deep in the core area of the Netherworld. Some unconventional things lived there, so ordinary people did not dare to go there easily. There was danger, and children of influential families like Ying Yang would occasionally go hunting those unconventional things in order to seek excitement.
"…" Ying Yang was stunned for a moment, "Didn't father order me to go out as little as possible and stay at home to cultivate in peace?"
Ying Wuman said indifferently without turning his head, "Zhang Youchi is more suitable for cultivation. I won't stop you when it's time to relax. Go."
Ying Yang said with some hesitation, "Didn't father say that Niu Youde wanted to kill me?"
Ying Wuman said, "Then let him do it."
"Uh …" Ying Yang thought he had heard wrong. He stopped and widened his eyes.
Ying Wuman, who had walked to the corner of the bookshelf, turned around and looked at him. "If I don't give him a chance to kill you, how will this matter end? I'm afraid he doesn't have the guts! "
Ying Yang, who was stunned, suddenly revealed a look of realization. He understood …
Inside the Jade Star Heavenly King's Residence, on the arch bridge, Kou Lingxu was catching and throwing food, causing the things in the water to toss and turn.
Kou Zheng and Tang Henian stood on the left and right side of Ying Yang. After Kou Zheng reported that Ying Yang was going to the Nether Spring to hunt, he asked, "Father, should we tell Niu Youde?"
Kou Lingxu entertained himself and threw the food in his hands without saying anything. On the contrary, Tang Henian stroked his beard and said, "Master, are you sure that Ying Yang is going to the Nether Spring to hunt?"
Kou Zheng nodded. "There should be no mistake. I've received news that he is inviting friends to go with him."
Tang Henian looked at Kou Lingxu. "Master has clearly told Ying Jiuguang. The Pavilion of Faith and Justice just finished the deal with us, and now they are going to the Nether Spring to hunt. They have set a trap for us!"
Kou Lingxu threw the food in his hands and put his hands on the railing. He looked down at the shadows in the water and said calmly, "It's hard to recover from a momentary miscalculation. Master Qing will not let him leave the Ghost City. We should make an early end to prevent others from making a fuss about it later. Boss, inform the Ghost City about Ying Yang's movements. "
Kou Zheng and Tang Henian's eyelids twitched at the same time. They looked at each other in silence. They both knew what this meant.
"Yes!" Kou Zheng cupped his hands and answered with a heavy tone.
Purgatory, Boundless Star, in a small attic in the courtyard, looking at the sea.
This small attic was newly built under Jin Man's orders. She saw that Yang Qing liked to look at the sea and meditate, so she ordered people to build this attic that could block the wind, rain, and sun for Yang Qing to use.
It was indeed to Yang Qing's liking. Yang Qing often stayed here, and Jin Man often came here to discuss matters with him, such as today.
After learning about Ying Yang's movements, Yang Qing frowned and asked, "The Nether Spring Hunt?"
He knew that Miao Yi wanted to make a move on someone in the Ghost City's base, and the starting point was Ying Yang. Therefore, he was also paying attention to Ying Yang's movements. Although the Six Paths were no longer a force to be reckoned with in the Celestial Court, it was impossible to say that they didn't have any informants. They might not be able to find out about secret matters, but this time, Ying Yang didn't seem to hide the fact that he was going to the Nether Spring Hunt. He called for his friends, and it would be hard for the Six Paths not to find out.
Sitting across from him, Jin Man nodded. "Yes!"
Yang Qing slowly stood up and walked to the window to look at the sea.
Sitting quietly on the spot, Jin Man's gaze followed his back. She saw Yang Qing take out the Star Bell, but she didn't know where he was contacting.
Yang Qing contacted Miao Yi. After communicating with him, he immediately asked, "Milord, do you know that Ying Yang is going to the Nether Spring Hunt?"
Miao Yi: "You're quite well-informed. I just found out not long ago. The Kou family just informed me. This is a good opportunity to get rid of Ying Yang."
Yang Qing was shocked. Xing Ling hurriedly replied, "Milord, don't you think that the Nether Spring Hunt came at the right time? The Kou family and the Pavilion of Faith and Justice had just finished their deal, and now there's a hunt. I don't believe that the Kou family doesn't suspect that this is a trap! Knowing that it could be a trap, they still told Milord. The Kou family's intention of abandoning Milord is clear. How can Milord risk it again? "
Miao Yi looked at the specks of light in the Ghost City outside the window. His gaze was deep. He was gradually getting used to being betrayed, and wouldn't get angry so easily. Knowing the truth would only make him calmer. He replied, "I've already guessed the Kou family's intentions. But it doesn't matter. I have the confidence to get rid of Ying Yang."
Yang Qing panicked, "A man of wealth shouldn't sit under the eaves! Milord, in your current state, it's extremely inappropriate for you to rush to the frontlines and put yourself in danger. Since the Ying family's forces have the intention to set up a trap, they will definitely not be easy to deal with. I ask Milord to reconsider. There's no need to be impatient! "
Miao Yi: "This time, I want to break through their trap with brute force. Don't worry. I might not even have to do anything!"
In any case, it would be a waste of words. Miao Yi seemed very confident. Yang Qing didn't know where his confidence came from. Putting away the Xing Ling, Yang Qing closed his eyes and pinched his forehead. He slowly turned around and leaned his back against the window frame. His expression was anxious and worried, and even a little pained.
"Head Deacon, what's wrong?" Jin Man was shocked. She quickly went up to support his arm.
Yang Qing shook his head forcefully. After opening his eyes, he pushed away Jin Man's support and said, "I'm fine!"
'He's fine?' Jin Man's eyes widened as she looked at his pale complexion. She wondered if he was sick. But under normal circumstances, how could a cultivator fall sick?
Standing by the window, Yang Qing closed his eyes and pondered for a while. Suddenly, he opened his eyes and turned around, asking, "I remember you saying last time that there was something that could defend against the bewitchment of the Demonic Dance?"
Jin Man didn't know why he was bringing this up again. She nodded and said, "Heart Vanquishing Orchid. It can be consumed in advance to resist the bewitchment of the Demonic Dance. But it can only be used in advance. It's useless afterwards."
Yang Qing asked, "Can you get it from the phantom market?"
Jin Man thought for a while, then said hesitantly, "It should be possible. Although this thing is rare, it's not something that's too rare."
Yang Qing said, "Alright! Inform the phantom market's people in the Six Realms to find a way to get it as soon as possible. I need it urgently! "
A few days later, Yang Zhaoqing paced back and forth in front of Miao Yi's door in the phantom market's headquarters. He seemed a little hesitant, but in the end, he still braced himself and knocked on the door.
Miao Yi, who was meditating cross-legged in the room, opened his eyes. He looked at Yang Zhaoqing, who seemed to be pondering something in front of him. He asked, "What's the matter?"
Yang Zhaoqing muttered, "Not long ago, Yang Qing contacted me. He said that the security in the headquarters is too tight, and wanted me to open a path. He asked me to arrange for Xu Tangran to go to a brothel every three days to seek pleasure."
Miao Yi was stunned. He asked suspiciously, "Arrange for Xu Tangran to go to a brothel to seek pleasure?"
