Lian'er reminded Yuxiu that although Xie Tianyu's investigative skills were exceptional, the target this time was equally formidable. Having a backup could prove crucial at a critical moment, so he immediately devised a series of plans.
"With Xie Tianyu and Lian'er as the vanguards, after tomorrow's audience, we will follow Alfalfa. We need to investigate her every move and daily behavior as thoroughly as possible. On the other hand, we must closely monitor Alfalfa with Brother Ye Feng at the gathering, but we must not let her notice! We must be careful!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone nodded. Xie Tianyu and Lian'er exchanged glances, sensing the gravity in each other's eyes. This was a matter of life and death; there was no room for romantic feelings at this moment.
Ye Feng had confidence in this strategist's arrangements. Firstly, being able to seize opportunities showed that Yuxiu was indeed worthy of being the brains behind the Envoy Group. However, this was just the first step; more complex plans were still needed.
Huang Tian, as the soul of the Envoy Group, couldn't help but express his opinions at this moment.
"Tomorrow's banquet may seem like an incredibly honorable gathering, but it is fraught with dangers. A slight misstep could lead to total failure. We must remember that meeting Current Majesty is no trivial matter; we need to adhere strictly to etiquette and avoid giving anyone a handle to criticize us. Secondly, we need to act."
"Act?" Ye Feng lacked experience in this area. Facing one of the most authoritative figures in the Eastern Continent for the first time left him lacking in knowledge!
Huang Tian then explained, "As an ally nation, my identity is sensitive. Although our mission sounds noble, operating in the world means acting as eyes and ears. This behavior may appear glamorous on the surface but can lead to various difficulties. The act we need to perform is to remain calm regardless of how provocatively they challenge us; we must not get angry. Otherwise, the consequences could be dire!"
After hearing this, Ye Feng seemed to understand better the challenges of being a World Prophet. If it weren't for his desire to investigate news about his mother in the Qin Yuan Empire, he might not have been interested in this identity at all! Now that he had temporarily allied with Huang Tian's group, there was still much for him to learn.
"You all have experience in such situations and are surely familiar with them. I haven't been before and am somewhat worried about ruining your plans; I hope you can remind me when the time comes!" Ye Feng said sincerely after thinking for a moment.
Huang Tian nodded first and smiled, "Of course! Just follow our lead; honestly, it's not a big deal—just playing along to get through it. Afterwards, we will focus on Alfalfa and take appropriate actions."
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng generally understood their plan. At this moment, Yuxiu seemed to think of something else and added, "We must arrange Brother Ye Feng's identity properly. First, we need to disguise him; secondly, he cannot use any names from our team since Alfalfa has already set her sights on us and is likely aware of our team's basic situation. Therefore, we need to create a new identity for Ye Feng!"
Concerned about his safety, Ye Feng paid special attention to this arrangement. He quietly accepted Yuxiu's plan, and soon a brand-new name—Feng Ye—was designated as his code name for this operation. As for his appearance issues, that would be handled by Lian'er!
After discussing the preliminary plan, everyone fell silent. The matters they were plotting were of great significance; the target they faced was far from simple as it sounded verbally. If they succeeded, it would be well; however, if they failed, they could very well face an imperial-level suppression!
Ye Feng had already considered this point, but unlike the Envoy Group, he could not afford to be exposed due to his identity as a registered disciple of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect. This time, his identity absolutely could not be revealed!
Yuxiu clearly understood this and provided comprehensive packaging for Ye Feng. When everything was almost settled, he even specifically taught Ye Feng some customs and small gestures of the Qin Yuan Empire people to avoid being noticed.
"If there are no objections, let's temporarily follow Yuxiu the Strategist's plan. First, we will get through Tomorrow's Gathering. If there are no issues, we still have three days afterward to figure out Alfalfa Princess's movements. Three days later, I will need to attend the Sect meetings."
At this point, Huang Tian said, Ye Feng suddenly interjected, "Do I also need to be present at the Sect meetings?"
"That's not necessary. It will just be me, the strategist, and the guards. You and Tianyu Lian'er can take this opportunity to devise a simulated assassination plan against Alfalfa. Once I finish the three Sect meetings with the strategist, we will implement it immediately!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng fully understood the plan. He then said, "Alright then. I might have my own matters in between. If you need to find me, you can go to Ning Cang City at Windward Inn; my people will be there for contact. As for the assassination of Alfalfa, I can act independently. With your assistance at that time, the chances of success will definitely be greater!"
Originally, he intended to leverage the help of the Envoy Group tonight. Now, the only ones capable of executing a decisive assassination action were those four armed guards. Huang Tian sensed his meaning and fell silent; this silence was not out of reluctance but rather due to Ye Feng's unusual behavior.
In this operation, he had no need to push himself so hard. What was driving him to want to kill Alfalfa?
This question had troubled Huang Tian for a while; he just hadn't found an appropriate opportunity to bring it up. Now that they had basically discussed their plans, it seemed he should find a chance to ask.
With a glance, Huang Tian dismissed Yuxiu and the others; only Ye Feng and he remained in the room.
The atmosphere instantly became tense. Despite confirming their alliance, Ye Feng was still an unknown variable. Huang Tian did not waste any more words and straightforwardly asked, "Tell me, what else are you hiding from us? No matter what, I don't believe you are taking such risks purely for our agreement without considering yourself!"
Facing this extraordinary prophet, Ye Feng did not exhibit any transcendence in demeanor; instead, he felt flustered and slightly anxious. Having lived two lives, he was far from mature in terms of scheming; his past experiences could not all be applied here because these were two entirely different worlds!
However, it was impossible for him to reveal everything completely. After thinking it over, Ye Feng decided to tell a lie!
Clearing his throat a few times and deliberately showing an awkward expression, Ye Feng sighed and said, "It seems that my trust is very important to you. But I must first make it clear that I mean no harm to you; I am here to help you. As for why I am willing to take risks, even if I tell you, you might not believe it!"
"Then why not tell me?" Huang Tian said, his eyes flashing with intrigue.
Ye Feng fell silent for a moment before finally revealing his purpose.
"This is a matter of interest. On the surface, what I'm doing now seems entirely self-sacrificial, but if you truly understand my past, you wouldn't think so. There are indeed no grievances between Alfalfa and me, but I genuinely need your help!"
"I understand that, but so far I can't see where exactly you need my help. Or rather, as a disciple of the Sky Abyss Empire and the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, with your qualifications, it wouldn't be difficult for you to become a Core Disciple or even a future representative of the Sky Abyss Empire. So what could you possibly need from me?" Huang Tian was determined not to let Ye Feng off the hook and asked sharply.
But Ye Feng suddenly smiled bitterly: "In the Sky Abyss Empire, I truly don't need your help. But what if I really become a representative of the Sky Abyss Empire? One day I will inevitably go to your empire, and at that time, many things will be uncertain!"
With this statement, it was equivalent to directly admitting that Ye Feng had some kind of desire for the World Prophet. Huang Tian immediately sensed that it wasn't so simple and pressed on with intensity: "Do you have enemies in the Qin Empire? Do you need me to help eliminate them?" This was the only answer he could think of at the moment!
But the reality was different. Ye Feng gritted his teeth, knowing that if he didn't reveal some truth, this overly clever fellow would definitely not believe him!
"You only investigated my basic identity, but you don't know about my family background. In the Qin Empire, I have a crucial relative who may have been captured by a powerful Sect and cannot leave. Therefore, my desire to become a Prophet Walker of the Sky Abyss Empire is so that I can go to the Qin Empire and take her away under legitimate circumstances!"
"Oh?" Now Huang Tian was intrigued. Ye Feng's words combined with his expression had already convinced him to some extent; however, he still had doubts.
"Who is she?"
"That's not convenient for me to disclose. What I can tell you is that the Sect holding her must be a Heavenly Level Sect. So when the time comes and I really have to forcibly take her away, would you be willing to help me without hesitation like you are now?" Ye Feng looked directly into Huang Tian's eyes and asked sternly.
The dilemma arose! Even Huang Tian hadn't anticipated that this fellow would have such a complicated story. At this point, he didn't care who that relative was to Ye Feng; he only needed to weigh whether this guy was worth offending his own empire's Heavenly Level Sect!
This is not a joke! Even with his identity as a prince and a prophet, it can now explain why Ye Feng needs his help so desperately!
After thinking for a moment, Huang Tian took a deep breath and said, "If you can really help me get rid of Alfalfa Princess, or rather, if you can help me resolve this crisis, I can assure you that if your relative is truly trapped as you say, then I will do my utmost to help in the future!"
"Good! With your word, I believe you! As for Alfalfa, I will kill her no matter what!" Ye Feng did not give Huang Tian a chance to ask further and stated decisively!
His words were clean and straightforward, leaving no room for Huang Tian to continue questioning. Sometimes, the way one expresses their attitude can change the course of a conversation. At this point, any further inquiries seemed unnecessary, so this mythical handsome man really did not say anything more!
Outside the window, the moonlight grew deeper; the faint moonlight could not penetrate this room. No one would know that just a few days later, the starting point of an event that would shock the empire began here!
Everything seemed to have come to a temporary end, but everyone present and outside knew that this was just the beginning. When Tian Yi dawned, everything would change!
"That should be enough for now, Ye Feng. You will stay here tonight. Tomorrow morning at Tian Yi, Lian'er will help you disguise yourself. My humble abode is simple; I hope you understand!"
Ye Feng smiled lightly and said nonchalantly, "Then I shall impose on you!"
Huang Tian nodded and then walked out of the room... leaving behind Ye Feng, who watched his departing figure. His calm eyes eventually revealed a sharp glimmer~
This guy is indeed extraordinary!
