He was overjoyed. The Tiangang Compass was an ancient artifact that was only recorded in the secret books of the Stargazing Pavilion. With the help of the Tiangang Compass, his Stargazing Art would be even more powerful, and his calculations would be twice the result with half the effort.
To others, the Tiangang Compass was not worth mentioning, but to the disciples of the Stargazing Pavilion, it was a divine object.
He did not expect to obtain it so easily. The wonders of power were beyond words. He really needed to think about how to help Tang Ye come up with a plan to prevent him from being easily destroyed by Chu Li.
As long as Tang Ye was alive and well, they would be able to continuously benefit from him, which would benefit the Stargazing Pavilion and strengthen it.
The Heavenly Star Jade Stamp and the Heavenly Dipper Compass were important treasures to the Stargazing Pavilion. With them, the Stargazing Pavilion's power would increase tremendously, allowing them to do many things that they couldn't normally do.
Tang Ye said, "Now, tell me about Xiao Qi's whereabouts."
Li Xinghe nodded with a smile.
He got up and carefully put the Heavenly Star Jade Stamp into his bosom. Then, he walked to the stone wall at the side and lightly tapped it three times. "Rumble!" A stone cabinet appeared at the side with a few antique artifacts on it.
Tang Ye glanced at it and turned his eyes away. He didn't think much of it.
For others, these antiques were all treasures and priceless, but he was too lazy to look at them. There were many of them in the Prince's Mansion, and there were also many in the Imperial Treasury. He was tired of looking at them.
Li Xinghe took out a small black stone from above. It was the size of a thumb and no one picked it up when it fell to the ground. It was too common.
On the other hand, Li Xinghe carefully picked it up and carefully examined it. Reluctance could be seen in his eyes as he sighed. "This Celestial Stone is rare in the world and there might only be one or two of them. It's very likely that Xiao Qi has this item with her, which shows how wonderful it is."
"Hmm, I really can't tell." Tang Ye nodded nonchalantly. "I'll just have to hold onto it. Won't Chu Li be able to divine me?"
"Yes." Li Xinghe nodded and slowly handed it over with a pained expression. "Your Highness, don't underestimate it. Don't drop it."
"I know, I know." Tang Ye took it and put it in his arms. "This concerns my life. How can I lose it? You should tell me now, where is Xiao Qi? "
Li Xinghe glanced at Xu Shixing.
Xu Shixing was startled. He pointed at himself and then outside.
Li Xinghe nodded lightly.
Xu Shixing's face darkened, and he glared at him angrily, "Do you think I will leak the secret?"
Li Xinghe said, "You don't have a Star Stone to protect you. Chu Li might use you to deduce His Royal Highness' whereabouts and actions if you leak this information. Therefore, you mustn't listen to this."
"You …" Xu Shixing snorted angrily.
Tang Ye waved his hand impatiently. "Go, go, wait outside the cave. Don't eavesdrop!"
"… Yes!" Xu Shixing cupped his fists resentfully, turned around, and strode out of the cave.
He came out of the cave and saw the guards who were bored to death.
When they saw Xu Shixing coming out, they quickly gathered around him and asked about the situation.
Xu Shixing wasn't in a good mood. With a sullen face, he recounted the previous situation, but he didn't exaggerate.
Everyone immediately felt the same hatred towards Li Xinghe. They were extremely dissatisfied with his arrogance and wanted nothing more than to teach him a lesson.
A moment later, Tang Ye walked out of the cave in satisfaction. He waved his hand at Li Xinghe who was behind him. "You don't have to come out. I'll give it a try. If it really works and kills Xiao Qi, I'll naturally send the Heaven Power Compass to you!"
"Then I'll wait for the good news, Your Royal Highness!" Li Xinghe cupped his fists and smiled.
Tang Ye waved his hand and strode away in high spirits.
Xu Shixing quickly went forward and asked softly, "Your Royal Highness, did you really find Xiao Qi's whereabouts?"
"Yes, this Li Xinghe does have some ability." Tang Ye nodded and strode down the mountain with an impatient look.
Xu Shixing said, "Your Royal Highness, be careful of Li Xinghe. You can't be careless. Why don't we send a few people to guard the foot of the mountain and see if he'll send a message to Chu Li?"
"Haha, don't worry." Tang Ye scoffed. "He's very concerned about the Heaven Power Compass and he has the Heavenly Astral Jade Badge. It'll be useless no matter how much information he sends! Immediately gather your men and call all the best men over! "
"Your Royal Highness, how many people do you need?" Xu Shixing could only give up and asked reluctantly.
Tang Ye thought about it. "A hundred!"
Xu Shixing shook his head helplessly. "Your Royal Highness, we don't have that many top-notch masters anymore."
"That's all?" Tang Ye frowned and stared at him. "Even a hundred are gone?"
"We can gather a hundred ordinary masters but not a hundred top-notch masters," Xu Shixing replied.
"How many do you have?"
"About forty."
"… Alright then, forty it is. It's better to have nothing than to have something shoddy!"
"Yes, I'll send the message now. Where should we meet?"
Tang Ye took out a letter from his inner pocket and passed it to him. "Pass the message in this to them, but you can't read it. Everyone else can."
"Only I can't read it?" Xu Shixing asked helplessly. "Your Royal Highness, do you really believe what Li Xinghe said?"
"There's no harm in being careful," Tang Ye said. "You're my confidant after all!"
Xu Shixing smiled. "I won't read it then!"
Tang Ye nodded in satisfaction. "Go, go! Wait for me in the Imperial Residence. You won't be participating in this mission! "
"Yes!" Xu Shixing took the letter and strode away.

Xiao Qi woke up from her deep meditation.
She opened her eyes and realized that she was in the main room of a small courtyard. The flawless moonlight shone on the paper window, illuminating the room. She could clearly see that the furniture was exquisite.
This small courtyard was the best courtyard in the largest inn in Zhi Ming Town.
The courtyard was decorated with fake mountains and rocks. The winding path led to a secluded place. It was unusually elegant, and everything was a work of ingenuity.
Xiao Qi did not care much about money. She had never been short of money. She stayed in this courtyard to save herself from trouble, not to enjoy life. No matter how good this courtyard was, it could not compare to the High Duke's Public House.
She pushed the door open and went to the center of the courtyard. She stood there quietly with a long sword in her hand.
A bright moon hung in the night sky. The stars were dim, and its light shone on the ground.
Bathing in the clear light, she felt a little unsettled for a moment. She left the Imperial Residence of King An once again to continue her journey to train her heart. It had been five days since she last saw Chu Li. She did not know what he was doing now and whether he was with Lu Yurong.
She smiled faintly when she thought of this.
She did not feel jealous or angry. The Regal Sword Scripture was really affecting her, and the influence was getting deeper.
When they first got married, she still felt upset and couldn't help but overthink things. But now, when she thought about it, she was no longer affected. Her heart was as still as water, as if she was looking at a stranger's affairs. Everything was not reflected in her heart.
If this continued, even if Chu Li left her, he would not feel sad. Was the Regal Sword Scripture really that powerful?
She suddenly frowned. Her white clothes fluttered as she leaped to the roof and scanned the surroundings. Under the moonlight, two men in black flew over the roof. They were silent, and in the blink of an eye, they were near.
Xiao Qi was not worried. She landed in her courtyard and gently shook her long sword. There was a faint sound. She was calm as she quietly looked at the two men in black in front of her.
They covered their faces with black scarves. Their eyes were so bright that no one dared to look at them directly.
