"Why are you doing this?" the old eunuch asked.
"Matsumoto Takeyoshi has already begun to suspect me," Ye Fan directly replied. "This time, he sent me to seize the meteorite in order to test whether or not I will help him. After all, I have been in the Eastern Sea for so long and have yet to find a single divine cauldron for him. This time, if I don't help him seize the meteorite, he will lose his trust in me. If that happens, Chiko will be in danger. "
"If you help him seize the meteorite, won't Matsumoto Takeyoshi's Black Feather Troop be like a tiger that has grown wings? Won't the Great Ming Dynasty be in danger? "the old eunuch asked with a frown.
"Senior's words are incorrect." Ye Fan calmly looked at the old eunuch and said, "First of all, a mere piece of metal cannot affect the fate of the Great Ming Dynasty. Speaking of which, this piece of metal falling from the sky, could it not be that this is the will of the heavens? Shouldn't the Imperial Court properly reflect on this matter? Instead of reflecting on your own mistakes, you put this crime on my head. Isn't this a bit of sophistry? "
The old eunuch frowned and did not speak.
"Second of all, this time, even if I don't do anything, that meteorite will still fall into Matsumoto Takeyoshi's hands," Ye Fan continued. "Matsumoto Takeyoshi has many experts under him. If I don't do it, someone else will. Since he dares to use this matter to test me, it means that he already has victory in his grasp. Whether I do or not, the result will be the same. Thus, it would be better for me to do it and increase Matsumoto Takeyoshi's trust in me. "
"This time, Matsumoto Takeyoshi obtained the meteorite in the meteorite. Who knows how many Great Ming soldiers' lives will be taken away in the future," the old eunuch said with a worried expression.
"Since they joined the army to serve the country, then they should be prepared to sacrifice their lives for the country. This is their duty and also their obligation. No one forced them," Ye Fan said indifferently.
"But Mr. Ye is a citizen of the Great Ming Dynasty, and his cultivation is heaven-defying. Could it be that he can't serve the imperial court? Could it be that he can't bear to see the imperial court fall into an abyss of suffering?" The old eunuch couldn't bear to listen to Ye Fan's words and asked coldly.
"Citizens of the Great Ming Dynasty? Serve the imperial court? Hmph, "Ye Fan sneered," Back then, our Ye family was loyal and devoted to the imperial court, but what happened in the end? Didn't he still end up being investigated, wanted everywhere and forced to live in exile in Mongolia? Didn't I, a citizen of the Great Ming Dynasty, have my beloved wife snatched away by that Lord Zhou of your imperial court? Now, we need the Ye Clan. The Imperial Court will redress our injustice and restore our reputation. But then again, if the Ye Clan is useless to the Imperial Court, will the Imperial Court do this? Would the Crown Prince personally come to the Mongol Empire and personally make a promise? In the end, wasn't it because the Ye Clan was useful to the imperial court? In the future, once the chaos of war is quelled and the four seas are at peace, the Imperial Court might turn against us. As for senior saying that my cultivation is heaven-defying and that I should serve the imperial court, that's even more unreasonable. I do have some cultivation now, but this cultivation wasn't given to me by the imperial court. Why should I serve the imperial court? "
"You …" The old eunuch was at a loss for words after being refuted by Ye Fan. He didn't know what to say.
"What, am I wrong?" Ye Fan asked the old eunuch in return.
"The imperial court does owe your Ye Clan, but that was for a reason. It wasn't intentional. Moreover, the current crown prince who is in charge of the imperial court is a heroic ruler who loves his people like his own children. How could he do such a treacherous thing?" The old eunuch cupped his hands towards the empty air and said.
"Qin Huang, Han Wu, Tang Sect, Song Zu, which one of them isn't a heroic ruler? Which one of them doesn't love his people like his own children? But when the birds are gone, the good bow is put away, the cunning rabbit is dead, and the lackey is cooked. Isn't this a common occurrence? Qin Huang burned books and buried Confucians, Han Wu abandoned loyal generals, Tang Sect killed his brothers, Song Zu, after wearing the yellow robe, gave up military power with a cup of wine. Let me ask senior, how do you explain this? "Ye Fan picked up his teacup and leisurely sipped his tea as he asked the old eunuch.
"This … this …"
This time, the old eunuch was completely unable to answer.
"Senior, you said you had a few things to ask. Other than this, what else is there?" Ye Fan asked again.
"The other thing is about the jade pendant." The old eunuch said to Ye Fan, "After Miss Yue met with misfortune in Yangzhou, is the jade pendant Your Highness bestowed upon her safe? Has it been lost? "
Ye Fan frowned after hearing this.
He didn't expect the old eunuch to know so clearly about what happened in Yangzhou!
"Senior's information is really fast. You even know about this matter." Ye Fan put down his teacup and calmly said.
"That jade pendant has supreme power and can mobilize the imperial court's troops. It is extremely important to act first and report later. It cannot fall into the hands of evil people." The old eunuch said with a dignified expression.
"What? Your Highness the Crown Prince wants to take back the jade pendant that was given to someone? "Ye Fan asked.
"Tell me first, is the jade pendant safe?" The old eunuch asked Ye Fan.
Ye Fan smiled and took out the jade pendant that the Crown Prince always carried with him. He extended his hand and handed it to the old eunuch.
After returning from Yangzhou to the Eastern Sea, Akatsuki gave the jade pendant to Ye Fan so that he could return it to the Crown Prince in person when he had the chance.
This thing had always been a knot in Akatsuki's heart. It was also the estrangement between her and Ye Fan.
She didn't want to have this thing anymore, for Ye Fan and for herself.
After seeing the Crown Prince's jade pendant, the old eunuch respectfully received it with both hands and held it in his hands.
Everything was as he expected. The jade pendant was not lost.
"Since this item is in Mr. Ye's hands, this old servant is relieved." As the old eunuch spoke, he placed the jade pendant on the table in front of Ye Fan.
"Elder, please take this jade pendant back to the Crown Prince." Ye Fan pushed the jade pendant back to the old eunuch and said, "Hong Ji asked me to find time to return this item to the Crown Prince. Since elder has come this time, I won't have to make a trip."
"This …" The old eunuch lowered his head to look at the jade pendant on the table and muttered to himself.
He didn't think that Ye Fan would take the initiative to ask to return the jade pendant to its rightful owner.
"Hong Ji asked me to tell Your Highness the Crown Prince that this item is no small matter. If you keep it on you, it will only invite disaster. She thanks Your Highness for your kindness, but she doesn't have the fortune to enjoy it," Ye Fan continued.
"This old servant understands." The old eunuch nodded and put the jade pendant away.
Ye Fan's words were good news to him.
Clearly, Akatsuki didn't have any feelings for the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince only had one-sided feelings for her.
After learning of this, the Crown Prince would definitely let go of this relationship and focus on court affairs. In this way, Ye Fan and the Crown Prince wouldn't have any grudges between them. At the very least, they wouldn't become enemies.
"This old servant has finished his business. Thank you, Mr. Ye, for the tea." After the old eunuch put away the jade pendant, he looked at Ye Fan and spoke.
"Elder, you're leaving without even taking a sip of tea?" Ye Fan asked the old eunuch with a smile.
"Hahaha …" The old eunuch laughed and said, "This old servant was worried that Matsumoto Takeyoshi's people would discover my tracks, so I purposely used an illusion to meet you. How would you taste tea?"
What? Illusion?
The old eunuch's words gave Ye Fan a huge shock!
The old man in front of him was actually an illusion!
No wonder he didn't sense this person's arrival!
This person was indeed an expert. He was able to use illusion techniques to such an extent that even Ye Fan couldn't see any clues!
What shocked Ye Fan even more was that this old man could actually use an illusion to take away the jade pendant. This was the first time he had seen such a secret technique that was both real and illusory!
"Mr. Ye, take care. This old servant will return to the capital to report." As the old eunuch spoke, he slowly stood up from the cattail hassock and prepared to leave.
"Elder, go back and tell the Crown Prince that he doesn't need to worry about the Huo Liuxing incident." As Ye Fan spoke, he stood up and moved his head close to the old eunuch's ear and whispered a few words.
"Is this true?" The old eunuch's face was immediately filled with shock and excitement when he heard this.
"Shhh …" Ye Fan smiled and put his index finger to his lips, indicating for the old eunuch to speak softer.
"Mr. Ye, you have been dissatisfied with the imperial court. This old man thought that you …" The old eunuch smiled and said to Ye Fan.
"I am indeed dissatisfied with the imperial court. The change of dynasty isn't important to me at all. However, the people are innocent. They did nothing wrong and shouldn't pay the price. What do you think?" Ye Fan smiled.
"Don't worry. His Highness the Crown Prince will revive the Great Ming Dynasty and let the people live and work in peace and contentment." The old eunuch reached out and patted Ye Fan's shoulder as he spoke.
With this pat, Ye Fan felt no different from a normal person's shoulder!
He could even feel the old eunuch's breath!
If the old eunuch hadn't told him the truth, he wouldn't have believed that this was an illusion!
"I hope so," Ye Fan said with a smile.
"This old man is leaving. Mr. Ye, please stay."
"Senior, take care."
Whoosh …
The old eunuch's body turned into countless sparkling golden fragments and disappeared into thin air.
The old eunuch's miraculous illusion technique was an eye-opener for Ye Fan!
No matter how strong you are, there will always be someone stronger.
The Divine Cauldron Spiritual Qi in the strange dragon's body and the old eunuch's illusion technique made Ye Fan feel that his Spiritual Qi cultivation needed to reach a higher level.
Right now, the Spiritual Qi in his body had reached a delicate balance. Increasing the Spiritual Qi of the righteous side would only bring him benefits and no harm.
This was also the method that the Persian divine hand, Atal Sadi, had told Ye Fan when they were alone in the cave that day!
Using the method of increasing the Spiritual Qi of the righteous side to suppress the Spiritual Qi of the evil side could greatly reduce the danger of the Spiritual Qi that he was about to face. Thus, he could maintain a clear mind and clear mind!
However, this was only a temporary solution. The Heavenly Demon's power was that it would become stronger when faced with a strong opponent. In addition to the Heavenly Demon's Spiritual Qi and the innate Evil Qi, whether Ye Fan's Spiritual Qi would eventually go berserk or not depended on Ye Fan's luck.
Right now, he had already cultivated the Mysterious Sky Secret Technique to the third stage. If he continued to cultivate, the difference between the Yin and Yang Qi in his body would be too great.
In less than a month's time, it would be the 15th of August, his birthday, the night of the full moon!
He could cultivate the second stage of the Proud Moon Heavenly Scripture, and he could even continue to cultivate the third stage!
One had to know that he had already passed the Heavenly Tribulation. The Mysterious Sky Secret Technique's Spiritual Qi in his body was just enough to withstand the Heavenly Tribulation brought by the Proud Moon Heavenly Scripture!
At that time, both the Proud Moon Heavenly Scripture and the Mysterious Sky Secret Technique would reach the third stage. Not only would it be able to suppress the Evil Qi in his body, but it would also greatly increase his Spiritual Qi cultivation!
