In the noisy lobby, the sound of the cup in Ye Xiuwen's palm was almost negligible. At least, no one present noticed the fluctuations and abnormalities in Ye Xiuwen's emotions.
In order to avoid crushing the cup directly, Ye Xiuwen put the tea cup down. The bottom of the cup touched the wooden table and made a soft sound.
Tea seeped out from the crack at the bottom of the cup, leaving a circle of water around the cup.
It can be seen that as long as Ye Xiuwen exerted a little more force, the tea cup would have broken directly.
Apart from Ye Xiuwen, there was one person present who felt that the scene of the second prince teasing "Yao Mo" with words was particularly irritating, and that was Yu Wanrou.
Yesterday, in order to win the favor of the second prince, she tried her best at the banquet. She persuaded him to drink with gentle words and shyly glanced at the second prince. She thought that this playboy could be swayed by her. He took it down easily. Unexpectedly, when the second prince came this morning, the person he was thinking about in his eyes and heart was still that "Yao Mo".
Yu Wanrou is different from ancient people like Ye Xiuwen who have more traditional ideas. She came here from a world with open minds and advanced technology. In her world, men are with men and women are with women. Yes, there are even laws in some countries that have passed gay marriage, allowing same-sex couples to become husband and wife.
Therefore, she does not think that "Yao Mo" is not a threat just because he is a man - in fact, the second prince is obviously more interested in "Yao Mo" than Yu Wanrou, which makes Yu Wanrou's My heart felt like it was being put on a fire, being roasted at high temperatures back and forth, not to mention suffering.
If losing to a woman would make Yu Wanrou feel unwilling, then losing to a man would make Yu Wanrou feel very embarrassed - especially when Zhong Ruolan looked at her with that mocking look, as if Her current behavior made her look like a loser, which made Yu Wanrou's resentment expand rapidly.
Thinking of the spiritual spring in her portable space, Yu Wanrou's heart gradually calmed down again.
She believed that in this world, it would be impossible to find the spiritual springs and dual cultivation techniques like those in her portable space.
This is her biggest weight. With this weight, sooner or later these male cultivators will fall under her pomegranate skirt!
—Yu Wanrou has always believed so firmly.
Immediately, she thought of the leader of Lieyan Kingdom who was still lying in bed, and a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes: Maybe, she can work from this breakthrough
While Yu Wanrou was making small calculations in her mind, Qin Lingyu, with whom she was a "natural match" in some aspects, was also calculating the rewards from Lieyan Kingdom in vain.
They have stayed here for most of the day, but except for having a meal with the second prince of Lieyan Kingdom, they have made almost no progress in this task. Could it be said that in the following days, they will just stay Are you here to watch the second prince flirting with "beauties"? !
Qin Lingyu felt a little impatient in his heart.
Of course, he would not show this impatience directly. He hugged the second prince and asked in a deep voice: "Second prince, with all due respect. Since we have accepted the bounty mission, we will definitely do our best to complete it. But now we have almost no clues. , except that we know that the fugitive is very likely to be in Xingping Town now, we know almost nothing. I am afraid that if we continue like this, the difficulty of the task will only become more and more difficult, and the possibility of catching the fugitive and bringing him to justice will also increase. It’s getting increasingly slim. I wonder if the Second Prince can tell me his plans?”
Obviously he was eager to get the reward of the bounty mission, but Qin Lingyu still pretended to be "worried about others' concerns". As expected, he was truly worthy of being the "second hypocrite of Xuyang Sect", Jun Xiaomo clicked. The corners of his chin and lips curved into a mocking arc, and he narrowed his eyes slightly and thought.
As for "the number one hypocrite of Xuyang Sect", he is naturally Qin Lingyu's master and the leader of Xuyang Sect, He Zhang. However, one is better than the other, and there is no guarantee that if Qin Lingyu continues like this, he will surpass his master and become "the number one hypocrite of the Xuyang Sect."
Now that Qin Lingyu mentioned business, the second prince no longer paid any attention to "Yao Mo". After all, "Yao Mo" is just a hunting target that he likes, and the throne is the most important to the second prince.
If he messes up this matter, not to mention whether his father, who is still on the sickbed, will be furious, but his brothers will not let go of this great opportunity to tear him off the throne of the prince. Chance.
Yes, this matter is not only the task of Qin Lingyu and the others, but also the task of the second prince. He is now acting as the agent of his father in handling state affairs. It is naturally the second prince's responsibility to arrest the "culprit" for his father and bring him to justice.
The second prince took a sip of tea and said to the people of Xuyang Sect: "Brother Qin has got the point. Yesterday, the commander just showed you the portrait of the eldest brother and told you that he should be in Xingping. It’s just a town, right?”
Everyone in the Xuyang Sect nodded in unison, waiting for the second prince's next words.
"Actually, there is one thing that the Commander-in-Chief has probably not mentioned at all, and due to various reasons, King Gu did not mention it to you yesterday. Our Xuyan Kingdom has a national advisor. Since the initial establishment of Xuyan Kingdom, the national advisor has been He has been protecting our royal family of the Xu Yan Kingdom. This time when the eldest brother poisoned my father and caused him to be seriously injured and unconscious, the national master happened to be in seclusion, so he gave the eldest brother enough time to escape."
"From this point of view, the eldest prince may have calculated that the master was in seclusion before attacking the leader of the Lieyan Kingdom." A disciple of the Xuyang Sect felt that he had discovered the truth and couldn't help but sigh.
"That's right. Moreover, the retreat of the Imperial Master is a big deal. Except for people from the royal family, outsiders are not allowed to know about it, lest someone take advantage of the retreat of the Imperial Master to disrupt the order of Lieyan Country. Unexpectedly, this time, Something happened, and it was the fault of our royal family." The second prince held the folding fan and sighed while shaking it.
Jun Xiaomo lowered her head and said nothing, and no one noticed that she was holding her hands tightly under the table, and the slightly trembling backs of her hands revealed that her heart was stirred up again.
"By the way, since the national master has been protecting the royal family of Lieyan Kingdom since the founding of Lieyan Kingdom, then the national master must be very old, right?" A disciple of the Xuyang Sect asked curiously.
"It should be over a thousand years old." Another disciple counted on his fingers.
The second prince shook his folding fan and smiled without saying a word, which was regarded as acquiescence.
In fact, one thing that the second prince did not mention was his relationship with the Imperial Master - the Imperial Master was his enlightenment master in cultivation, and all his skills were taught by the Imperial Master.
However, the national master of Lieyan Kingdom is not a monk, but a formation master and a talisman master. There are many formations set up by him in the palace of Lieyan Kingdom. With these formations, even if those rebels want to assassinate , it can only be gone without return.
Jun Xiaomo can be regarded as a half-formation mage and talisman master, but compared with the national master of Lieyan Kingdom, her level is simply insignificant and there is no comparison at all.
In his previous life, if he hadn't been the national master of Lieyan Kingdom, I'm afraid Jun Xiaomo wouldn't have been caught by Yu Wanrou and her concubines so easily. In the final stage, all the escape formations set up by Jun Xiaomo were destroyed one by one by the old guy. Not only that, the old guy seemed to have a very high-grade spiritual weapon in his hand. Because With that spiritual weapon, Jun Xiaomo was almost found out by Yu Wanrou and her gang several times.
Therefore, when Jun Xiaomo heard that the second prince mentioned the national master of Lieyan Kingdom, Jun Xiaomo had such a big emotion.
Jun Xiaomo secretly hated herself for almost forgetting this incident. She never expected that just an ordinary trip would lead to her encountering enemies from her previous life again and again.
Is this some kind of "bad fate"? Jun Xiaomo felt cold, and it took almost all the strength of his body to suppress the hatred surging in his chest.
"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing. I received a message from the palace a few days ago, saying that the Imperial Master has just broken through the middle stage of divine transformation and will be released soon. By then, the Lone King can directly invite The Imperial Advisor will calculate the location of the eldest prince, which will greatly speed up the capture of the fugitive."
"The middle stage of divine transformation?!" A disciple of Xuyang Sect whispered, and then asked in confusion, "Since the national master has reached the middle stage of divine transformation, why can't the national master directly go out to arrest the fugitives in person? ?”
The second prince shook his folding fan and explained with a smile: "The national master is mainly good at formations and talismans, and his research on offensive magic is not very deep. What's more, the capital of Lieyan Kingdom cannot be separated from the national master. Shelter, therefore, I can only ask you experts to help me.”
"That's it..." These disciples of the Xuyang Sect nodded as if they suddenly understood, and they were more confident about catching the eldest prince and getting the rich reward.
After all, in their opinion, having a national master who has entered the middle stage of becoming a god to help out will definitely increase the success rate a lot.
Jun Xiaomo felt a twitch in his heart - location calculation? Isn't that the same set of spiritual weapons that the Imperial Master used against her in her previous life? !
Jun Xiaomo was so powerful in his previous life, but he fell into the imperial master's set of spiritual weapons again and again. Now, Jun Xiaomo felt that the strength of the eldest prince might not be comparable to hers in her previous life. Therefore, if the old guy from Lieyan Kingdom really sacrificed the spiritual weapon, he might be doomed.
It was really depressing. She hadn't decided whether to help the eldest prince, but the second prince actually gave her such a big problem.
Jun Xiaomo bit her lower lip, a variety of tangled emotions flashing through her eyes.
Ye Xiuwen had been observing "Yao Mo's" reaction. When he saw "Yao Mo" clenching his fist tightly, he originally wanted to pat the back of "Yao Mo"'s hand as usual to ask "him" not to put too much pressure on him.
However, when he raised his hand half an inch, he hesitantly put it down.
It seemed that he could no longer get close to "Yao Mo" as he had before without any psychological burden.
