Although Ye Qing didn't know about the Night Blossom appearing at the banquet, Yi Huan's fall into the water caused quite a stir. They were hiding in the small bamboo forest in the backyard of the Grand Dominance Manor, waiting for news. They didn't want to hear it, so they could hear it.
Thinking back and forth, Ye Qing stood up with a cupped fist and said, ”I'll go take a look.”
By the way, he wanted to meet Li Chengjun. Ye Qing was sure that Li Chengjun was one of the two men following them. As for the others, although he was not sure, he still felt a sense of déjà vu. He seemed to have worked together for many years.
But who? Ye Qing frowned in thought. In the past, when he had left the underworld depressed and alone, none of his close friends had been able to give him such a familiar feeling.
Ji Wu Ye carelessly stroked the chess piece with his right hand and laughed: ”It's time to change the person in charge of this game.”
Ji Wu Ye changed unpredictably, and Ye Qing couldn't guess who the person he was talking about was. He nodded and left. No matter who it was, he would personally pull out the hand that was playing tricks on him!
In the end, Ya Xiang's lips moved, but he didn't say anything else. Since she was under Luo Lingwei's jurisdiction now, she could not reveal anything that she did not want Ji Wu Ye to know.
Luo Lingwei clearly knew that Ji Wu Ye had a way to cure Ye Lianhe's poison, but she didn't find him to help. It was very obvious that she did not plan to have any further interactions with Ji Wu Ye.
Ji Wu Ye was someone from the previous dynasty. She and her sister had been raised by him and couldn't understand his thoughts. What's more, she was the daughter of an old friend he met on his way home.
”You should go too, otherwise you won't be able to make it.” Ji Wu Ye supported himself with his chin and slowly closed his eyes, dozing off without a care. A light breeze blew across the empty bamboo forest.
”Scram, all of you get the hell out!” Ye Lianhe pushed his spirit back all the way as he felt a surge of vital energy and blood rushing to his head. He tried his best to restrain his roiling fury, but was still unable to do so.
The gatekeepers were all frightened. They were afraid that they would anger Ye Lianhe and drag him down to chop off his head. ”Yes, yes, yes. Prince, please calm your anger.”
Ye Lianhe stared at the servants rolling away with bloodshot eyes. Because of the Gu worm's effect, he could not control his emotions and no one trusted him.
The source of the nocturnal flowers is the entry point to everything. Ye Lianhe held onto the sword hilt, sealed the moving Gu worm on his arm and summoned the hidden guard, ”Go check! Exactly who put in the Night Flower! ”
The dark guards were the soldiers he had saved on the battlefield. They were mostly orphans or soldiers who had been pushed aside. They were all fearless outlaws, and for the time being, Nightingale could only trust them. The leader of the Dark Guard was a man in his thirties. He looked average and had a hideous scar on his face. It was like a vicious centipede, lying on its face from the top of its head.
In a split-second after receiving the order, the dark guard disappeared from the corridor.
When Minister Hu arrived at Nightingale's study and was about to enter, he suddenly heard a sound from the room. He couldn't help but slow down his steps.
From the study came the tinkling sound of porcelain being smashed, and the sound of men's uncontrollable rage. The fox-like Minister Hu stood quietly for a while, then he heard Ye Lianhe's voice. Something was obviously wrong, as his vital energy and blood were surging as if he was heavily injured.
He quietly turned around and left. It seemed like Yen Lianhe might not be a suitable partner to work with. He might even become a clay buddha that was unable to save himself.
”This …”
