What an expert!
Ye Fan thought to himself as he frowned on the roof.
Now that his spiritual energy was profound and he had obtained the power of the Heavenly Demon, his breathing was slow and steady. Coupled with the thunder and lightning outside and the torrential rain pouring down, even a top expert would not be able to discover his tracks while he was inside the light sphere.
Yet, this old eunuch was still able to detect his presence!
There was no need to guess. This old eunuch had already discovered his whereabouts. It was just that he had business to attend to, so he did not point out his hiding place!
Who would have thought that there was such a person in the palace!
Ye Fan thought to himself as he picked up the white fox beside him. In an instant, he turned into a ray of dazzling green light and zigzagged down the bowl-sized hole on the roof of the main hall and flew into the main hall.
Whoosh!
Ye Fan appeared out of thin air in the main hall with Baihu in his arms.
Since the other party had already discovered him, there was no need for him to continue hiding.
The old eunuch narrowed his eyes as he looked at the silver-haired, black-robed young man holding Baihu in his arms. His expression suddenly changed!
The green radiance on Ye Fan's forehead, which was overflowing with light, shocked him greatly!
This person was already a member of the Demon Realm!
The golden-robed Crown Prince also frowned at Ye Fan's appearance!
He had never seen anyone who could transform into a ray of light and appear!
This person's cultivation was so high that he had never seen or heard of it!
If he guessed correctly, this person should be the expert sent by Matsumoto Takeyoshi to assassinate him!
"Who are you? Why are you sneaking around in the main hall and peeping into the Crown Prince's palace! "The old eunuch holding a horsetail whisk said coldly.
"I am the 68th generation of the Ye family's great-grandson, Ye Fan," Ye Fan said calmly to the old eunuch as he reached out to stroke Baihu.
"Ye Fan?" The old eunuch frowned. "You are Ye Fan?"
"Yes," Ye Fan replied.
The old eunuch turned around and looked at the crown prince.
"You are Ye Kong's son, Ye Yun's grandson, Snake Shadow Sword Ye Fan?" The Crown Prince's face was filled with shock. He stood up from the main seat and asked in shock.
"What? Does Your Highness recognize me? "Ye Fan frowned and asked.
After getting up, the Crown Prince walked down the stairs and slowly walked in front of Ye Fan. He circled Ye Fan and sized him up.
Ye Fan stared at the Crown Prince, motionless.
After looking around, the Crown Prince nodded slowly.
His silver hair was like snow, his eyes were like stars, his face was like jade, and his hair was like a knife. His temperament was extraordinary, and his cultivation was unfathomable. Beside him was a Baihu.
The young man in front of him was exactly the same as the one Ye Kong had described to him in the Mongolian tent a few days ago!
This person was the peerless cultivator, the owner of the Fleeting Fire Sword and the Snake Shadow Sword, Ye Fan!
Bufan was indeed a dignified and dignified man!
The Crown Prince thought to himself.
"You didn't come to the Crown Prince Palace in the middle of the night to assassinate me and avenge your Ye Clan, did you?" As the Crown Prince spoke, he stood in front of Ye Fan and looked at Ye Fan with a calm gaze.
"If I wanted to kill you, I would've done it openly. I wouldn't hide." Ye Fan lowered his head and stroked the white fox's silky fur as he spoke to the crown prince without even lifting his head.
"Oh? Haha. "The Crown Prince was surprised at first, but then he smiled and said," You are just as your father said, arrogant and unruly, different from the rest. "
"Your Highness has seen my father?" Ye Fan's expression changed when he heard the Crown Prince say this. He raised his brows and asked the Crown Prince.
"Hahaha … I've seen more than just your father," the Crown Prince said with a smile. "I've seen your grandfather Ye Yun and your uncle Ye Chen."
"What did you do to them?" Ye Fan asked the Crown Prince with a frown. His voice was cold.
He was worried that his father and the other two had been held hostage by the Crown Prince.
"Don't worry, they are very safe," the Crown Prince said with a smile. "If my guess is correct, they should be on their way back to the Ming Dynasty. If everything goes smoothly, they will reach the Ming Dynasty in a few days."
"Reach the Ming Dynasty?" Ye Fan was confused.
"A few days ago, I made a trip to Mongolia and saw your three relatives with my own eyes. I even ate roast lamb and drank strong wine with them. It was very satisfying!" The Crown Prince turned around with a smile. He shook his golden robe and sat back down on the sandalwood chair behind the wooden table.
"Your Highness went to Mongolia to find them?" Ye Fan asked with a frown. "Why?"
"I sent people to investigate your Ye family. The so-called forming of cliques and privately minting money were all nonsense. As for your father and the others breaking into the palace at night and plotting to assassinate Imperial Father, they were all framed by that dog Xuanji." The Crown Prince took a sip of tea and continued, "This time, I went to Mongolia to see the three of them. First, it was to clear the Ye family's name and reverse the case. Second, it was to ask the Ye family to help me deal with Matsumoto Takeyoshi's ninja army."
"Matsumoto Takeyoshi's ninja army?" Ye Fan was shocked.
"Fulin, tell him in detail," the Crown Prince said to the old eunuch as he drank tea.
"Yes, Your Highness." The old eunuch turned to Ye Fan and told him how the Crown Prince secretly contacted the four countries to kill Zhou Dao, how he failed at the last minute, how Zhou Dao used his skills to make the ninja army attack the four countries' army, and how he led the four countries to turn their act into reality. He told Ye Fan everything.
After hearing this, Ye Fan's eyes widened and his face was full of disbelief.
He didn't expect things to develop to this point!
That Matsumoto Takeyoshi was indeed sinister and vicious. He actually used force to turn the situation around!
"Mr. Ye, I have a presumptuous request," the Crown Prince said to Ye Fan, who was standing there with a frown.
"What is it?" Ye Fan frowned and raised his head to look at the Crown Prince.
"Mr. Ye's cultivation is extremely high, and you're also a dragon of the Ye family. Can you stay by my side and assist me in quelling the rebellion?" the Crown Prince asked Ye Fan.
Ye Fan was a member of the Ye family, and his cultivation was so heaven-defying. If he was used by the Crown Prince, it would be like adding wings to a tiger!
Thirsty for talent, the Crown Prince extended an olive branch to Ye Fan.
When the Crown Prince said this, Ye Fan was first stunned, then he couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
He had originally come to find out about the Crown Prince's movements, but he had unexpectedly been chosen by the Crown Prince.
"Why is Mr. Ye smiling?" the Crown Prince asked when he saw Ye Fan's bitter smile. He put down the fragrant tea in his hand.
"Does Your Highness not want to know why I'm here?" Ye Fan looked at the Crown Prince and asked.
The Crown Prince frowned and looked at Ye Fan in confusion.
"Matsumoto Takeyoshi ordered me to find out about Your Highness's movements. If the time is right, I'll take Your Highness's life," Ye Fan said calmly as he looked at the Crown Prince.
When the old eunuch heard Ye Fan's words, his expression changed, and he raised his head to look at Ye Fan.
"You … you're one of Matsumoto Takeyoshi's men?" the Crown Prince asked Ye Fan in shock.
He had never imagined that this member of the Ye family, who had heaven-defying cultivation, would be working for Matsumoto Takeyoshi!
Ye Fan nodded slowly.
The atmosphere suddenly became heavy.
"Since that's the case, why aren't you doing anything?" the Crown Prince asked with a frown.
"I never had any intention of killing you," Ye Fan said to the Crown Prince. "Just now, I saw that Your Highness sympathizes with the common people and loves them like your own children. You have the heart of a Bodhisattva and the methods of a Vajra, so I don't want to kill you. You're the savior of the Great Ming Dynasty. It's the common people's fortune to have such a good Emperor like you."
"I don't understand," the Crown Prince said as he looked at Ye Fan with a confused expression.
"What does Your Highness not understand?" Ye Fan asked in return.
"Since you have such a state of mind, why are you helping the evildoer do evil and helping that vicious traitor Matsumoto Takeyoshi?" the Crown Prince asked the question in his heart.
"I have my own difficulties." Ye Fan lowered his gaze and spoke. His voice was filled with helplessness.
"Difficulties?" the Crown Prince asked in return.
"Yes."
"What difficulties would make you do such a thing?" the Crown Prince asked. "Status? Status? Wealth? Forgive me for being blunt. With Mr. Ye's abilities, it's impossible for you to defect to the enemy for these things. "
"It's not these, it's not," Ye Fan said softly as he shook his head with a sorrowful expression.
"Then what is it?" the Crown Prince asked. "The things that Matsumoto Takeyoshi has, the Great Ming Dynasty has everything."
He really wanted to know why Ye Fan was willing to work for Matsumoto Takeyoshi.
"It's my wife," Ye Fan said as he told the Crown Prince everything about his beloved wife, Fujiwara No Chiko.
Bang!
"Shameless!" After hearing Ye Fan's words, the Crown Prince was instantly enraged. He slammed the table and stood up!
The old eunuch also frowned after hearing this, but he didn't say a word.
"Right now, I can only think of a way to find the Nine Cauldrons. Only then can I save my wife's two true souls." Ye Fan said to the Crown Prince. "I appreciate Your Highness' good intentions, but Your Highness can rest assured. I won't help Matsumoto Takeyoshi harm the people of the Great Ming Dynasty. Once I gather the Nine Cauldrons and save Chiko, Your Highness won't have to do anything. I'll directly take his life!"
"What is love? It's something that can lead to life and death. Ai, it's been hard on you. "The Crown Prince shook his head and sighed.
Since ancient times, how many infatuated men and resentful women had been trapped by love? Even if this young man's cultivation was heaven-defying, he couldn't escape love!
"If Matsumoto Takeyoshi has any important news, I'll think of a way to inform Your Highness." Ye Fan cupped his hands and said to the Crown Prince, "If Your Highness sees my father and the others again, please don't tell them about me."
Since ancient times, it was difficult to be loyal and filial at the same time. But now, he couldn't do it at all.
"Don't worry, I won't tell them." The Crown Prince frowned and said to Ye Fan.
"Then, Your Highness, take care. I'll be leaving." Ye Fan said, then turned and prepared to leave.
"Wait a moment." The Crown Prince called out to Ye Fan from behind.
Ye Fan turned and looked at the Crown Prince.
The Crown Prince walked in front of Ye Fan and removed a seven-treasure jade pendant from his waist. He extended his hand and handed it to Ye Fan.
"Your Highness, this is …" Ye Fan didn't understand the Crown Prince's intention.
"This is the jade pendant that I've carried with me since I was young. My name is on it." The Crown Prince said to Ye Fan. "Take this jade pendant. It might be useful to you in the future."
Ye Fan took the jade pendant with both hands and held it in his hand.
The jade pendant shone brightly with the Crown Prince's name engraved on it.
"Seeing this jade pendant is like seeing His Highness, the Crown Prince." The old eunuch reminded Ye Fan, "You should understand the importance of this item."
Ye Fan's expression changed when he heard this.
With this jade pendant, it was equivalent to having an imperial sword!
"I'll tell you another secret." The Crown Prince moved his head close to Ye Fan's ear and whispered, "There's a cauldron in Tibet."
