Imperial Father? Miao Yi pondered for a moment and immediately thought of a person. Huangfu Jun? Y's father, Wu Ning.
If it really was Wu Ning, Miao Yi couldn't help but think of Wu Ning's other identity — Shadow Guard!
Now, Huangfu Jun and his mother had been placed in a safe place by him, and the two of them were in constant contact. He also knew that Wu Ning knew about him and Huangfu Jun. He also knew that Wu Ning knew about his relationship with Huangfu Jun and Y, and that Wu Ning had left home. In fact, he had already suspected that the Shadow Guard's assassination attempt on him was related to Wu Ning's departure.
Was it because of Huangfu Jun? Did they want to talk to him about Y, or were they here to assassinate him?
Miao Yi didn't know how the demonic monk made his move, nor did he know about Guo Yanting, so he didn't know that the Shadow Guard's mission to assassinate him had been stopped. Now that a Shadow Guard had come to see him, it was hard not to suspect that it had something to do with the assassination attempt.
If they were really here to assassinate him, his guards would not hold back. He did not want to be in a bad situation with Huangfu Jun. Y explained.
Miao Yi lightly tapped the jade archive on his palm and pondered for a moment, then said, "Capture him and bring him here. Remember, don't hurt him!"
"Understood." Yang Zhaoqing nodded, knowing what to do.
Outside the stargate, a small group of people blocked Wu Ning's path. Wearing a mask, Wu Ning waited calmly for the report.
He didn't know if Miao Yi would meet him, but he didn't believe that Miao Yi couldn't guess his identity. If Miao Yi didn't meet him, then he would feel sorry for his daughter. With Miao Yi's current status, if Miao Yi really didn't meet him, then his plan would fail, because he wouldn't have a chance to get close to Miao Yi.
Not long after, another group of people flew over from a nearby planet. A general came up and asked, "Your surname is Wu?"
Wu Ning knew that it was probably someone Miao Yi had sent to receive him. He nodded and said, "Yes!"
The general smiled. "I'm sorry. According to the rules, you have to be inspected. Please cooperate!"
Wu Ning seemed nonchalant. The general waved his hand behind him, and a few people immediately surrounded Wu Ning to inspect him.
Wu Ning opened his arms and allowed them to inspect him. However, to his surprise, someone suddenly attacked him from behind and jabbed him repeatedly, restraining him.
"What are you trying to do?" Wu Ning shouted. He couldn't make a sound in space without transcendence energy. The people around him didn't know what he was saying, but they could guess from Wu Ning's furious expression.
"Take him away!" The commander gestured with his hand.
Just like that, Wu Ning never dreamed that such a situation would occur. He had made preparations that he wouldn't be able to see him. Why did he have to capture him?
Miao Yi didn't know that the Shadow Guards' assassination mission had been canceled, and Wu Ning similarly didn't know that Miao Yi had long since known that the Shadow Guards wanted to assassinate him. Bumping into them like this was no different from walking right into a trap.
When he reappeared, he was already in the main hall of the Prince's Residence. As soon as Wuning raised his head, his mask was ripped off by a general in front of him. The general stepped aside, and Wuning saw Miao Yi smiling at him.
Miao Yi waved his hand, and the general cupped his fists and retreated.
"Mister Wu, long time no see. How have you been?" Miao Yi chuckled and cupped his fists in greeting. For the Commanding Heavenly King of the Southern Army to take the initiative to greet him, it must be because of Huangfu Jun. The reason for Y.
Feeling the restriction on his body, Wu Ning's face filled with anger, "Niu Youde, what is the meaning of this?"
Miao Yi raised his palm and said, "Mister, please don't misunderstand. It's just that I recently heard that the Shadow Guards are planning to assassinate this Prince. My subordinates have no choice but to be more careful!"
"..." Wu Ning was a little stunned, this guy knew that the Shadow Guards wanted to assassinate him? A secret agent of the Shadow Guards, how did he know? He angrily said, "Is this how you treat your guests? Release my restriction! "
Staring at his reaction, Miao Yi put on a fake smile and said, "I hope you won't be offended if I've neglected you in any way. Mister, are you here to assassinate me?"
Wu Ning felt like killing himself. He thought that Miao Yi's cultivation was not high, and as long as he had the chance to get close, he could kill him in one blow. Furthermore, with the relationship between his daughter and Niu Youde, the chances of the two of them meeting alone were quite high, so it was entirely possible for him to succeed. Who knew that there would be such a mishap, and that he would actually barge in here blindly. What a joke.
Naturally, Wu Ning wouldn't admit that he was here to assassinate him. "You're thinking too much. Y? I already know about the matter with Y. Today, we must make this matter clear. "
"Alright!" Miao Yi smiled and nodded.
Wu Ning suddenly felt someone grab the back of his neck, and his eyes rolled back as he fainted. His body slowly collapsed, revealing Yan Xiu behind him. Yan Xiu supported him with one arm, and immediately brought him to the rear hall.
Miao Yi walked to the eaves outside the hall, and stood there with his hands behind his back, his face expressionless.
After waiting for a while, Yan Xiu walked out of the house, and transmitted his voice to Miao Yi, "Your Highness, he is indeed here to assassinate you."
Miao Yi frowned, "Doesn't he know that even if he succeeds, he can forget about leaving this place alive? Could it be that the Heavenly Court knows about me and the Lord? Because of Y, they specifically sent him to take advantage of this loophole to assassinate me? "
Yan Xiu grumbled in his heart, 'Isn't it all because of you? Luckily the Princess Consort is with Fei Hong. Otherwise, if the Princess Consort finds out, let's see what you'll do.' "He never expected to leave this place alive. This time, he came with the determination to die, thinking that once Your Highness is eliminated, the threat to his wife and daughter will be eliminated …" After explaining Wu Ning's intentions and thoughts, he added, "Originally, he was already part of the Shadow Guards' operation to assassinate Your Highness, and has been hiding on a nearby planet. However, a few hours ago, the Shadow Guard Commander, Xiang Zhong, suddenly issued an order to stop the assassination plan. It seems to be related to the attack on the Li Palace, and the Shadow Guards have all withdrawn."
Miao Yi nodded slightly. It was not strange for the Shadow Guards to withdraw. With Lin Aoxue's disappearance, the Heavenly Palace would have to be fools to not guess that Fei Hong was involved. Without a spy, it would be impossible for them to assassinate him, unless they sent an army to attack. However, he really did not expect Wu Ning to go to such lengths for the sake of his wife and daughter. Was it worth risking his life for nothing? Couldn't he just secretly rely on him?
As he pondered, he thought of something, and turned back into the house. When he arrived at the rear hall, he looked at Wu Ning, who was sitting on a chair in a daze, and said to Yan Xiu, who had followed him in, "Ask him how the Heavenly Court controls them."
Yan Xiu did as he was told. He used his arts to control Wu Ning, and allowed Miao Yi to ask the questions himself.
The reason was not out of Miao Yi's expectations. As expected, the Shadow Guards cultivated the Devil Devouring Art. It was the same art as Yan Beihong, and the reason Master Qing could control them was because he could remove the backlash from their seven emotions and six sensory pleasures.
Miao Yi furrowed his brows and asked, "How did Master Qing remove the backlash from your devil arts?"
Wu Ning replied blankly, "There is someone by His Majesty's side who can absorb the seven emotions and six sensory pleasures from our bodies."
'Absorb? There's someone like that? ' Miao Yi was surprised. He asked, "Who is it?"
Wu Ning replied, "I don't know. He's very mysterious. Every time he shows himself, he's always wearing a black cloak. I can't see his face clearly."
Miao Yi rubbed his chin and fell into deep thought. Those who could do something like this for Master Qing must be his trusted aides. And what kind of trusted aides would hide their faces from the Shadow Guards? Shangguan Qing? Sima Wentian? Gao Guan? Pojun? Wuqu? No matter how he thought about it, he felt that there was no need for those who frequented the Heavenly Palace to hide their faces. Also, that cultivation art was actually able to absorb the seven emotions and six sensory pleasures. Who could absorb so many emotions and six sensory pleasures? How could they possibly digest it?
He could vaguely sense that Master Qing still had trusted aides besides Shangguan Qing and the others.
"Wake him up." Miao Yi gave the order amidst the silence. Yan Xiu raised his hand and placed it on top of Wu Ning's head.
Wu Ning woke up in a daze and found himself in another scene. He stood up abruptly, only to be pushed back down by Yan Xiu's hand on his shoulder. He glared at Miao Yi and struggled for a while, but to no avail. He could only sit there obediently and grit his teeth. "What do you want?"
Miao Yi calmly replied, "Is it worth it for you to do this? Why not? Y? Y and her daughter should think about it. If you're gone, how sad would they be? "
Hearing those words, it seemed that Miao Yi was certain that he was here to assassinate him. Wu Ning angrily said, "It's still better than you killing them!"
Miao Yi asked, "Why are you so certain that you can protect them by killing me? Can't you and I … protect them? "
Wu Ning was so angry that he laughed. "Ridiculous! You protect them? What else can you give them other than harming them? Y? Y what? "
Miao Yi replied, "What can the Celestial Court give? Y? Y what? At least I can give whatever the Celestial Court can. I also have a way to neutralize the backlash from the Devil Devouring Technique! "
"..." The anger on Wu Ning's face turned into bewilderment.
Miao Yi said, "You don't have to doubt me. I will prove to you that my power is greater than you can imagine! You don't have to worry about the Huangfu family either. In fact, Huangfu Liankong already knows about Jun Xiu and Y. With me around, they won't dare to touch Jun Xiu and her daughter. I won't give them the chance to clear their names. Also, I'm very interested in Master Qing's Shadow Guards. I hope you can help me contact them … "
Miao Yi's attention wasn't on Wu Ning at the moment. Dealing with the demonic monk Nan Bo was his top priority for now.
Before the three-day deadline was up, Yan Xiu brought Zhang Ping to Miao Yi's study. He clearly informed him of the time and location of the transaction set by the demonic monk and had him bring the items there for the transaction.
"Alright!" Miao Yi nodded in agreement.
Zhang Ping continued, "The Noble asked me to tell Milord that he has already planted a 'demon seed' in Lin Aoxue's body. If Milord is interested, you might as well ask the Xiahou family what the 'demon seed' is. After all, Milord has a good relationship with the Xiahou family. The Noble advises Milord not to play any tricks. Otherwise, if anything happens to Lin Aoxue, he won't be responsible."
Miao Yi suddenly stood up from behind the table and angrily said, "If that's the case, then there's no need for the transaction!"
Zhang Ping waved his hand and smiled, "The antidote will be prepared for Milord. There will definitely be a transaction method that Milord can rest assured about. As long as Milord doesn't play any tricks, there won't be any problems. If Milord discovers any problems, you can terminate the transaction at any time. Milord won't lose anything. What do you say? "
Miao Yi coldly stared at the arrogant guy in front of him. He waved his hand and signaled for Yan Xiu to keep it. He turned to Er Yang and asked, "What is a demon seed? Have you heard of it before?"
Both of them shook their heads, indicating that they had never heard of it. Yang Qing said, "Since the demonic monk hinted to the Xiahou family, they must know about it. Why don't we ask them?"
