”I've heard the former Imperial Advisor speak of her death before.”

Su Li had already buried the thumb ring into his stomach. He then retracted his left hand back into his sleeves, afraid that State Grandmaster would notice that her thumb ring was gone.

Right now, she could only gamble on the fact that the people in the restaurant would be interested in money and pawn the thumb ring.

This way, there would always be a glimmer of hope that the news about the thumb ring would reach Mo Lianjin's ears.

”What do you mean?” Su Li asked.

”The origin of Jia Fei made the Emperor An uneasy. That's why she had the idea of having a demon embryo, and wanted to kill her.”

”Where did she come from?” Su Li frowned, ”Isn't she just an ordinary person with an ordinary background?”

Mo Lianjin said that before he knew that Jia Fei was of the Nan Yin bloodline, she had always been the daughter of a small clan.

”No, her background is making it difficult for Emperor An to stay at ease.”

”Did the former Imperial Advisor say where she came from?”

The Imperial Advisor shook his head. ”No!”

Su Li put down his chopsticks and suddenly understood something.

Mo Lianjin had always thought that the demon embryo from eight years ago was caused by the State Grandmaster, and had nothing to do with the Emperor An at all.

Thinking about it now, if the Emperor An knew that Jia Fei was of the Nan Yin eight years ago, he definitely would have found a reason to get rid of her and her clansmen.

As such, the matter of the demon embryo was not because of the feud between the State Grandmaster and Jia Fei, but because the Emperor An was in the lead.

Then how did the Emperor An know of Jia Fei's identity?

The princes and princesses that died in succession in the palace died in a manner similar to Liu Yin's, all because of the Soul Search.

Could it be that this mysterious organization existed eight years ago?

After the two finished their meal, they didn't linger for long and directly left.

Before she left, Su Li watched the waiter carry away the half bowl of rice away, and took a deep breath.

After getting into the carriage, the Imperial Advisor drove the carriage as he continued his teaching.

Today, he was still talking about watching the stars, teaching theories during the day and practicing while watching the stars at night.

Su Li was astonished when he heard it. The Star Observation Art was an unfathomable technique, sometimes, it really admired the brains of ancient people. Even though he did not have any modern equipment, he was able to focus his attention on the universe and the unknown.

”It's been five days!” Mo Lianjin stood on top of a huge boulder with his hands behind his back, and gazed at the endless forest in the distance.

He continued northward and did not run into the Luo siblings along the way, nor did he hear any news of the Imperial Advisors.

If he had known that this would happen, he wouldn't have faked his death and wouldn't have hidden it from her.

”Your Highness, there's news.” Greenwood took the pigeon he had just received and said.

”Is this news about Su Li?” Mo Lianjin turned around and flew down the huge boulder, and took the object in the Greenwood Tree's hands.

When he opened it, he saw that the letter was wrapped with a thumb ring. It was the very thing he had kept for Su Li that day.

”Park County?” After Mo Lianjin finished reading the letter, the only thing that was written on the letter was that he found the thumb ring in Pu Nong County.

”If your subordinate remembers correctly, Pu Zi County is in the east side, which is the only way to get to Dong Qing.”

Mo Lianjin frowned. East?

”We'll set off immediately to Dong Qing Nation.”

”Your Highness.” Qing Mu replied hesitantly, ”Books flying came from the borders one after another. The great army of Bei Yue pressed down on the borders, and the Third Prince was sent to the borders to attempt to take over the Vanguard Army.”

Mo Lianjin sneered, ”Does he think that this duke's Vanguard Army can be taken away just because he wants to?”

”But the army is suppressing the land...”

”Bei Yue will not fight. At least, before we ally with the Dong Qing, Bei Yue will not easily war.” Mo Lianjin looked to the east, ”So what if we have started a war? This King does not care. This King just wants to bring her back. ”

Qing Mu fell silent. ”Then this subordinate will go prepare them.”

Stars Pet Chain Supermarket sat at the side and listened to everything Mo Lianjin said.

She stood up and went to help Greenwood prepare for the journey east.

After they set off, two days later, the Emperor An's orders came one after another, asking Mo Lianjin to return to the capital or hand over the weapon token.

Mo Lianjin did not pay any attention to him as he headed eastward single-mindedly.
