Upon learning that his mother was from the Qin Empire's Heavenly Level Sect and had likely been under house arrest all this time, Ye Feng could not shake off his desire to investigate the Qin Empire. In the past, he lacked the strength to do so, but now everything had changed!
His cultivation could stabilize at the peak of the mid-Xuanwu Realm, and with the Great River Power, he could unleash his full potential. The only thing he needed was to solidify his foundation. With some time left before the Sky Abyss Empire's envoy selection, he could quickly consolidate his realm using the Alchemy materials from the Heavenly Origin Pill!
At sixteen years old, reaching the peak Martial Saint level was exhilarating to think about. Ye Feng was not far from this goal, but before that, he needed to ensure nothing went wrong. Xie Tianyu's proposal was enticing enough; even if it required him to take some risks, he thought of his mother possibly suffering in the Qin Empire!
Ye Feng did not want to hesitate any longer. He nodded and reached a final agreement with Xie Tianyu, but he did not forget to add, "I can overlook your investigations, but do not let me find out that you are harming innocent people or robbing honest families! Otherwise, I will not let you off!"
Upon hearing this, Xie Tianyu showed a helpless expression. What did this guy take him for? This situation was entirely different! Before he could explain, Lian'er beside him patted her chest and assured him.
"Brother Ye, don't worry. We understand. Since you are willing to help us, we can guarantee that regardless of whether you become an imperial envoy in the future, as long as you come to our Qin Empire, we will do our utmost to assist you. Trust us; our envoy would probably be very willing to befriend you!"
"Let's hope so!" Ye Feng smiled. The three exchanged glances and felt it was time to part ways temporarily. They were unsure when Chifeng's master would start investigating them; to avoid detection, they should not continue gathering together at this moment!
Xie Tianyu estimated the time; their envoy should arrive by tomorrow evening at the latest. The formal visit might have to wait until the day after tomorrow. He then said, "Let's agree not to inquire about each other's actions, but when the time comes, we must meet up!"
Ye Feng thought for a moment and found nothing wrong with that. He replied, "Alright, you set the time. According to your timeline, a week should be enough for your envoy's visit to conclude. If I really get a chance to go to your empire in the future, I hope you will fulfill your promise!"
"Haha! That is certain!" Xie Tianyu was somewhat pleased; gaining Ye Feng meant an additional layer of security for their envoy. They agreed to meet again at this place before tomorrow night and decided to act accordingly afterward!
Then the three left the town. Ye Feng's first choice was to rent a carriage and hurriedly head towards Ning Cang City! This town was eighty miles from Main City; at the carriage's speed, it would take about three hours to arrive. He also needed to report back to his Sect and more importantly, learn about the subsequent events regarding the unrest outside the city!
Xie Tianyu and Lian'er watched him leave until his figure completely vanished from their sight. Only then did Xie Tianyu drop his smile and say with concern, "Junior Sister, I don't know if this is a correct decision for our envoy or a mistake!"
Lian'er bit her lip; she couldn't say much either, but she understood what her senior brother was worried about. Ye Feng seemed like a great internal support, but there were too many uncontrollable factors involved. How many forces within the Sky Abyss Empire wanted to harm their Qin Empire's envoy? Neither of them could say for sure!
But both of them knew that this visit would not be peaceful!
Lian'er thought for a moment and gritted her teeth, saying, "Senior Brother, why did you deceive him?"
Xie Tianyu was taken aback for a moment and shook his head, saying, "It's not really a deception!"
Lian'er sighed and said, "You know very well that the envoy can meet with us tonight. Why say it will be tomorrow?"
Xie Tianyu's body trembled as he looked towards the distant and indistinct Ning Cang City, then said strangely, "Everyone believes that our prophet envoy will only arrive at Ning Cang City tomorrow night. Therefore, we need to make them believe this is also to facilitate the envoy's early discussion of strategies with us!"
"The Generations' Walking Prophet is always a dangerous journey. Whether one can survive this journey depends on how well-prepared you are or how smart you are! Often, those who perish are foolish; idiots think that the envoy's responsibility is simply to establish peace!"
"But... isn't he someone who helps us? If we deceive even him, can our agreement still hold?" Lian'er still did not quite understand her senior brother's actions. What was the point?
Xie Tianyu shook his head and said, "Junior Sister, you are still too naive. You don't understand the treachery of human hearts. If he can truly help our envoy escape this disaster, I can guarantee that I will keep my word. But the premise is that he must do his part!"
Upon hearing this, Lian'er fell silent and turned to look in another direction—the Narrow Path outside the official road. If nothing unexpected happened, before sunset, the envoy of the Qin Empire, their Prophet Walker, would evade all scrutiny and enter this town.
At that time, their plan could unfold!
As time passed little by little, when night fell, Ye Feng had already returned to his Sect and learned about matters outside the city. Strangely enough, it seemed that the citizens within the city had been ordered to remain silent; no one dared to discuss the explosion outside!
Everyone acted as if they were unaware of anything. Ye Feng certainly knew that such an explosion could not be hidden from people, so he was even more astonished about what had happened to lead to this outcome!
Bai Jing had arrived at his residence early. While he was still worried about the Dark Exchange and the incident at the Heavenly Mechanism Sect's Scripture Pavilion, Ye Feng had already been rated as one of the most dangerous individuals by the Outer Sect! Ye Feng himself remained unhurried about it and even found it rather amusing!
"What's going on? This is just bullying! What do you have against Nine Nether Quick Blade? Look at what you've done to Scripture Pavilion. If it weren't for a few Hall Masters speaking up for you, do you think you could get away with this?" Bai Jing was incredibly upset with Ye Feng, not holding back on the blame.
Ye Feng smiled as if he didn't care. In his heart, he had completely dismissed people like Nine Nether Quick Blade. His current level far surpassed that of the Outer Sect! Even most of the Hall Masters in the Inner Sect were no match for him!
He was just thinking about whether he should find Guang Jingfu. After all, he was still his master on the path of Alchemy. Now that he had the auxiliary materials for the Heavenly Origin Pill, perhaps he could quickly refine it! This was crucial for what he needed to do in the future!
Seeing him completely unconcerned, Bai Jing felt even more frustrated, but more than that, he sensed something was off. Ever since the incident at Yue Ma Plain, Ye Feng seemed like a different person, someone unfamiliar. Their relationship didn't feel as close as it used to!
This made Bai Jing feel a bit sad. Was it really because their levels were too different that they couldn't be together?
Ye Feng unexpectedly noticed Bai Jing's disappointment and asked, "What's wrong? Why did you suddenly stop talking?"
Bai Jing forced a smile and replied, "What else can I say? No matter what I say, you won't care, right?"
Ye Feng was taken aback. From Bai Jing's delicate face, he sensed a kind of melancholy. He felt flustered because if Bai Jing were truly a girl, it would be fine; such words carried too much weight and ambiguity. But in his eyes, Bai Jing was a boy!
"Ahem, can you not say things like that? I'm not used to it!"
"Not used to what? You idiot! I've never seen someone as dense as you!" The more Bai Jing spoke, the angrier he became, even feeling on the verge of tears. Tears welled up in his eyes, leaving Ye Feng completely bewildered. What was going on here?
"Don't—don't do that! If something's wrong, just say it. Why are you crying?"
"Who’s crying! I'm not crying! I wouldn't cry over a jerk like you!" Bai Jing, like a fox whose tail had been stepped on, jumped up suddenly, startling Ye Feng, who also stood up. Just then, a gust of wind suddenly swept through the door!
Then, Guang Jingfu burst into the room with great force! He didn't even bother knocking; he charged in using an incredible technique. Ye Feng was startled, and Bai Jing was so frightened that he stopped crying immediately. The scene was oddly heartbreaking!
"Uh, what are you all doing?" Guang Jingfu originally had a lot of questions to ask his cheap disciple Ye Feng due to the chaos outside the city. However, he never expected to find a well-dressed male disciple in Ye Feng's room at midnight. From the looks of that disciple, it seemed that there was some complicated entanglement between the two!
It was no wonder Guang Jingfu was confused, as even Ye Feng felt that Bai Jing's feelings for him seemed to surpass mere friendship...
Seeing the unexpected appearance of the Hall Master of Alchemy Hall, Bai Jing immediately swallowed back the words he intended to say. He hurriedly forgot to greet anyone and dashed out in a flurry, moving so fast that it was almost impossible to catch up!
Ye Feng was completely dumbfounded, unable to understand what was happening. However, he had no time to ponder Bai Jing's situation because Guang Jingfu, with a serious expression and puffing his beard, approached him and asked in a stern tone, word by word!
"You better tell me everything that happened outside the city; otherwise, when the Sect Master finds you, I won't be able to help you!"
Ye Feng could only smile bitterly. He had long been mentally prepared to face Guang Jingfu. After all, only he knew about his trip to that place, and it just so happened that such a big commotion occurred while he was there. Even if he wanted to fabricate a lie, it wouldn't be easy!
Looking at Guang Jingfu's determined expression to uncover the truth, Ye Feng still felt it necessary to tell a small lie. He didn't want this esteemed Alchemist involved in Xie Tianyu and others' plans; after all, it was enough for him to bear the shameful matters! As Guang Jingfu was still nominally his master, he shouldn't tarnish his reputation!
Thus began a tear-jerking yet extremely bizarre and convoluted story! Under Ye Feng's alteration, he became completely innocent. He claimed that he successfully auctioned off dozens of precious Alchemy Materials at the Dark Exchange's Auction House but planned to leave afterward when someone suddenly attempted a robbery! Naturally, he quickly fled from that troublesome place!
As for what happened afterward, he claimed not to know; he just hid overnight to avoid investigation. Now, he finally dared to return to the Sect and was fortunate enough to have escaped the turmoil!
