Su Yan couldn't help but sneer, saying, "Oh really? If I'm unworthy, then I want to see just how capable he is!"
Upon hearing this, the crowd nodded in agreement, saying, "This person needs to learn a lesson."
Soon after, they left the courtyard and headed toward the front yard.
However, they hadn't walked far when they noticed someone in a large tree nearby. They didn't pay much attention, as today was a grand occasion at Wind Thunder Villa, and many Martial Artists had come to the manor. It wasn't unusual for someone to be seen in a tree.
Thus, they ignored the person in the tree.
Yet, Shadowless felt that the figure standing in that tree looked very familiar, and it seemed that the person was carrying out some sort of mission.
Raising an eyebrow slightly, he quickly walked over to Luo Bingbing's side and quietly said to her, "Master, the person in that tree is one of ours."
"One of ours?" Luo Bingbing replied with confusion.
Hearing her question, Shadowless immediately nodded and said, "Yes, it's one of ours, and from the Dark Gate."
Upon hearing this, Luo Bingbing quickly asked, "Why would someone from the Dark Gate be here? I don't recall arranging for anyone from the Dark Gate to come here."
"Indeed not," Shadowless paused briefly before continuing, "How about I go call him down to ask?"
"Alright," Luo Bingbing replied calmly with a nod.
Then Shadowless turned and returned to the base of the tree, using Lightness Skill to fly up into it.
Although Shadowless and Luo Bingbing spoke in hushed tones, those around them were all top-notch experts and naturally overheard their conversation without missing a word.
Therefore, they did not ask any questions. When they saw Luo Bingbing stop, they immediately halted as well, quietly standing in place waiting for Shadowless to bring the person down.
After a while, Shadowless flew down from the tree, followed by a middle-aged man dressed in black.
The two landed directly in front of Luo Bingbing. Shadowless returned to stand behind her, while the middle-aged man immediately knelt before Luo Bingbing, respectfully saying, "I pay my respects to the Dark Emperor."
Raising an eyebrow slightly, Luo Bingbing calmly replied, "Get up."
Upon hearing her words, the middle-aged man quickly responded, "Thank you, Dark Emperor." He then stood up.
"Why are you here at Wind Thunder Villa?"
After hearing Luo Bingbing's question, the middle-aged man promptly answered, "I was ordered by the Right Minister to come to Wind Thunder Villa to assess the situation."
"Are you referring to Wuyang?" As soon as Luo Bingbing finished speaking, the middle-aged man nodded and said, "Yes, and this time the Right Minister has also come to Wind Thunder Villa."
"Wuyang is here as well? Call him to see me immediately." The first half of this statement was directed at the middle-aged man, while the latter half was addressed to Shadowless.
Following this, Shadowless and the middle-aged man quickly left to find Wuyang, while Luo Bingbing and the others remained there waiting for their return.
At that moment, Wuyang was reclining on a branch of a large tree, intently watching the Martial Artists below. Suddenly, he heard a sound behind him that indicated someone was approaching swiftly.
As he turned his head, he saw the middle-aged man and Shadowless flying toward him. Upon seeing Shadowless, his expression momentarily froze but quickly returned to normal.
That brief moment of surprise went unnoticed by anyone else, not even by Shadowless who had just arrived.
The moment he saw Shadowless, he knew that the Little One must have arrived at Wind Thunder Villa. Initially, he had only come to Wind Thunder Villa to assess the situation, but after noticing that Luo Bingbing had not appeared at the entrance so late, he assumed she would not come this time.
Thus, he decided to take advantage of the opportunity to create some trouble, which would not only suppress the strength of Wind Thunder Villa, Ghost Gate, and the Demon Palace but also weaken Luo Bingbing's faction, laying the groundwork for his future path of revenge.
As soon as Shadowless saw him, he motioned for him to follow. Wuyang did not ask any questions and simply followed him away from the large tree. While they were on the move, Shadowless informed him that Luo Bingbing had already arrived and was looking to meet him!
In just a few blinks, Shadowless appeared within everyone's line of sight, followed closely by a young man dressed in a Blue Brocade Robe and the middle-aged man in black from earlier.
Soon, they reached Luo Bingbing. Upon seeing Wuyang, she immediately asked, "Wuyang, why are you here? And why do you have someone guarding this place?"
Hastily responding to Luo Bingbing's inquiry, Wuyang said, "Reporting to Dark Emperor, I learned that many Martial Artists have gathered at Wind Thunder Villa. To better understand the current situation in the martial world, I specifically brought people here to investigate."
His expression and words were serious, showing no signs of deceit, so Luo Bingbing and the others did not suspect him.
After giving him a glance, Luo Bingbing instructed him, "There's nothing going on here; you can take them back to the Dark Gate."
Wuyang immediately replied, "Understood." He then quickly led the middle-aged man away.
The reason he left so swiftly was not only due to his fear of raising Luo Bingbing's suspicions but also because he knew that as long as the Little One was present, his plans would be thwarted.
Seeing that Wuyang and his group had already departed, Luo Bingbing and her companions continued walking forward.
While they handled their matters well, chaos erupted in the front yard. A young disciple from Qingcheng Sect shouted angrily at Shan Yunbin, "All the men from Wind Thunder Villa are cowards for allowing a woman to be the leader!"
Shan Yunbin had just been sent by his father to persuade the young man to return to his guest room. However, as soon as he approached the young man, before he could utter a single word, he was met with insults directed at him.
After hearing his words, everyone was extremely surprised, and Shan Yunbin immediately changed his previous attitude, coldly saying to him, "This Young Hero, we at Wind Thunder Villa do not welcome you. Please leave at once, or do not blame me for being rude."
"Rude? Fine! My hands are itching for a fight!"
Saying this, the man drew the sword he carried with him and addressed the crowd, "Everyone, although my words may sound harsh, they are the truth from my heart. I know that you all share the same thoughts as I do but have refrained from speaking out due to politeness. We rarely have the opportunity to gather like this, so today I take this chance to invite you all to join me in a great endeavor and uphold the righteousness of our martial world. Lastly, please make some space; if I don't show my skills, these Single Family people might really think they are invincible."
Upon hearing his words, many began to doubt whether he had been drinking, as drunken individuals typically do not articulate such righteous reasoning.
The crowd watched in various ways; some were merely spectators while others secretly admired the young disciple from Qingcheng Sect for voicing their sentiments.
Today was indeed a joyous occasion for Single Family, and Shan Fengyang naturally did not want bloodshed at Wind Thunder Villa on such a day. As the head of the family, seeing that things had escalated somewhat, he quickly stepped forward to intervene.
"Yun'er, step back." After saying this, Shan Fengyang turned to the Young Man and said, "Young friend, today is a joyous day for Wind Thunder Villa. If you have come to congratulate us, I welcome you warmly. However, if you insist on causing trouble, I will have no choice but to 'invite' you out."
Upon hearing his words, the young man couldn't help but let out a cold laugh and swayed slightly as he said, "In the past, I respected you as an Old Alliance Leader; now? You are just an Old Turtle."
As soon as these words were spoken, those elders who had initially supported him immediately frowned, feeling that he had gone too far.
Shan Fengyang and Shan Yunbin were both furious; however, Shan Fengyang had lived most of his life and managed to hold back his anger. Shan Yunbin was different; youthful and impetuous, upon hearing the Young Man's words, he immediately swung his sword toward him.
However, before he could strike, Shan Kefan shouted at him, "Big Brother, wait a moment."
Hearing his voice, Shan Yunbin turned to look at him while others also turned toward the source of the voice.
Upon seeing this, not only Shan Yunbin but even those around them were filled with confusion; they simply could not understand why two identical individuals had suddenly appeared.
When the Young Man saw the person who looked exactly like him next to Shan Kefan, a look of panic immediately appeared in his eyes. However, if you don't observe carefully, it would be difficult to detect. When Shan Kefan brought the man who looked exactly like Young Man to Shan Fengyang, Shan Kefan immediately pointed at the Young Man and said to him: "Dad, this The person is fake. After he sneaked into my Wind Thunder Villa, he knocked the Young Hero unconscious and threw him in the mountains. He pretended to be the Young Hero and stayed in my Wind Thunder Villa , trying to cause trouble today." After listening to his words, everyone understood why two identical people suddenly appeared. After everyone knew that Young Man was an impostor, they surrounded him and prevented him from escaping. But the Young Man was no longer drunk, and suddenly stood up straight, and said with great disdain: "You guys still want to keep me here, I advise you not to daydream." The Young Man said As he spoke, he casually glanced at the attic diagonally across the street. When he saw that the black figure was still there, he became even more arrogant. Shan Kefan looked at the Imposter with piercing eyes and said: "Who are you? I Wind Thunder Villa didn't seem to have offended you, right?" "Hahahahaha! My name, you ignorant people I don’t deserve to know.” As soon as he finished speaking, a cold and sweet female voice came from the door of the compound. "Really? But why do I feel that you are like that rat crossing the street, you are afraid that others will know, so you can only hide in the dark." Everyone looked for the name and saw Luo Bingbing and others appearing at the door. As soon as they saw Luo Bingbing, the older generation in the martial arts world couldn't help but be stunned, and they all whispered in their hearts: "It's her." And Luo Bingbing naturally caught everyone's expressions in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth were slightly Hooked up, showing a faint sneer, and said to everyone: "Why, you are so surprised to see me?" After hearing her words, everyone remained silent, but the Imposter turned towards Luo at this time Bingbing asked: "Who are you?" As soon as he finished speaking, Su Yan said: "You don't even know who she is, and you still said you want to destroy the Demon Palace and Ghost Gate." This As soon as the words came out, those who didn't know Luo Bingbing couldn't help but whisper in their hearts: "Could she be the current Empress of Silver Moon Kingdom?"
As everyone was secretly speculating, Luo Bingbing and the others slowly approached Shan Kefan. After slightly cupping her hands towards Shan Fengyang, Luo Bingbing said to him, "Senior Shan, we meet again."
Seeing her gesture, Shan Fengyang quickly returned the courtesy, saying, "I did not know esteemed guests were arriving. Old Man has failed to welcome you properly; please forgive me!"
"Senior Shan is being too polite."
Just as Shan Fengyang was about to respond to Luo Bingbing's words, he heard the Imposter say, "You are the master of Ghost Gate?"
The Imposter had some skills, so upon hearing whispers from others, he immediately recognized Luo Bingbing's identity.
"It seems you are not hopelessly foolish after all!" As soon as the words left his mouth, Su Yan suddenly flew towards the Imposter, instantly appearing in front of him and launching a surprise attack.
Although he was quite surprised, feeling the aura of danger, he quickly dodged to the side.
Needless to say, he knew he was outnumbered at that moment. After a brief moment of contemplation, he immediately flew towards the loft diagonally across.
However, when he arrived there, the shadow that had been present suddenly vanished. He then flew towards the courtyard wall of Wind Thunder Villa.
Seeing him attempt to escape, Shadowless swiftly moved in front of him at the courtyard wall, directly blocking his path.
When he saw Shadowless standing in front of him, he immediately tried to fly sideways. Yet Shadowless continued to block his way. In utter frustration, he had no choice but to launch an attack against Shadowless.
Although his attack was fierce, Shadowless remained calm and quickly neutralized his moves, kicking him directly in front of Luo Bingbing.
Su Yan glanced at the Imposter lying on the ground and coldly asked, "Speak! Who sent you?"
After hearing her words, the man gritted his teeth and coldly laughed, saying, "You won't find out." As soon as he finished speaking, he attempted to bite down on the wax pill in his mouth.
However, before he could break the wax pill, he was suddenly immobilized by Luo Bingbing's ability.
"Want to die? It's not that easy," Luo Bingbing said as she walked towards him.
Seeing that he could no longer move, panic set in. After hearing Luo Bingbing's words, his face turned ashen.
When she reached his side, Luo Bingbing suddenly grabbed his jaw and then struck him hard on the back, causing the wax pill containing poison and some of his teeth to fall to the ground.
Shan Yunbin promptly picked up the pill that had fallen at his feet and said to the Imposter, "Speak. Who sent you?"
"Hmph! You can kill or torture me as you please, but you won't get any information from me."
"Is that so? But even if you don't speak, I already know your master is a Masked Woman." Upon hearing Luo Bingbing's words, he looked at her in astonishment.
It turned out that Luo Bingbing had quietly used her ability to invade his mind and discovered that a Masked Woman appeared at his bedside every night, arranging his actions for the following day.
However, he had never seen the Masked Woman's face; he only knew to refer to her as Master.
Luo Bingbing had probed his mind twice with her ability but could never see the Masked Woman's face. Nevertheless, she felt that the figure of the Masked Woman was very familiar.
"How do you know?" the Imposter asked, staring directly at Luo Bingbing. Suddenly, he thought of the shadow that had disappeared into the attic and silently wondered, "Could it be that Master has also been captured by her?"
While he was lost in thought, Luo Bingbing said to Shan Fengyang, "Senior Shan, this person is up to you to deal with. Today is a good day; let's not let anyone disturb our mood."
Soon after, Shan Fengyang had the Imposter taken away. On the surface, this small disturbance seemed to have passed, but in reality, it was far from over.
Following this incident, some who had questioned Su Yan's position as the leader of the martial arts alliance finally found their doubts alleviated. Meanwhile, those who had intentions of eradicating the Demon Palace and Ghost Gate quickly abandoned those thoughts.
After the banquet dispersed, Luo Bingbing and Dongfang Hao immediately sent people to investigate the matter thoroughly.
However, it seemed that the person behind the scenes was already aware of their inquiries and did not show up again. Naturally, Luo Bingbing and her companions were left without any leads.
Dongfang Hao and his group stayed at Wind Thunder Villa for one night before departing for the palace of Silver Moon Kingdom.
Two months later, Luo Bingbing suddenly noticed that Dongfang Hao was busy every day, coming home late and leaving early. There were even a few occasions when she couldn't find him at all.
One day, she decided to feign sleep. When Dongfang Hao returned, she suddenly opened her eyes wide. Seeing her awake startled him greatly.
But Luo Bingbing paid no mind to his expression and directly asked, "Darling, what have you been busy with lately?"
Gently pulling her into his embrace, Dongfang Hao replied, "Wife, let me keep it a secret for now. I'll tell you in a few days, okay?"
Seeing the serious look on Dongfang Hao's face, Luo Bingbing inexplicably agreed. Consequently, in the following days, Dongfang Hao became even busier.
Ivyah was occupied every day practicing her Ability. With Dongfang Hao preoccupied, Luo Bingbing felt increasingly bored.
One day, she suddenly recalled the matter of the Spirit Orbs. She promptly returned to her quarters, claiming she was tired and needed to sleep.
Then she immediately used her Ability to teleport outside Xuan Ye's door. As soon as she arrived there, Xuan Ye sensed her presence and guessed her intentions.
However, he still had not determined when the day of the Seven Stars Aligned would be.
Therefore, when Luo Bingbing asked him about it, he frowned and replied, "As your master, I have observed the stars at night and can only speculate that the day of the Seven Stars Aligned will likely be in two years. But I do not know the exact date."
"What? It will take two years?" Luo Bingbing exclaimed immediately.
"Bing'er, do you really want to return to that world? I hope you can think it through; do not forget that there are many people here who care about you." After saying this, Xuan Ye left the room to check on his herbs in the courtyard.
His words struck Luo Bingbing like a thunderclap, instantly exploding in her heart. The questions she had buried deep within her suddenly surfaced. Without greeting Xuan Ye, she teleported back to her palace.
Once back in the palace, she kept thinking about Dongfang Hao and how to handle the situation. After pondering for an entire afternoon without finding a solution, she decided to seek out Ivyah.
Seeing her beloved daughter frowning deeply as if troubled by something, Ivyah immediately asked, "Sweetheart, what’s wrong?"
Upon hearing her question, Luo Bingbing shared her dilemma about how to deal with Dongfang Hao. After listening, Ivyah smiled slightly and said, "I thought it was something serious! I've already thought of a solution for this issue."
"Ah?" Upon hearing her exclamation, Ivyah shook her head slightly and continued, "When we leave, we can take him with us. Moreover, during the birthday banquet last time, I subtly asked him about his feelings for you. I was very satisfied with his response. Therefore, I believe this is no longer a problem; you can also try telling him some things."
After hearing Ivyah's words, Luo Bingbing decided to find a time to share everything with Dongfang Hao. However, on the very night she planned to tell him, Dongfang Hao surprised her greatly.
