429: Chapter 154 Fenghou’s True Purpose_3 429: Chapter 154 Fenghou’s True Purpose_3 Up in the elegant private room, Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor listened with a smile while Tianli, the old man beside him, turned pale.
Did they all know His Majesty was here?
How could all these messages, which couldn’t reach His Majesty’s ears on regular days, suddenly pop up all at once!
Down in the secret chamber.
Sun Yingying asked softly, “Wenqing brother, how did you go to the Eastern Alliance?”
“It was arranged by my brother,” Li Ping’an said slowly, “My brother’s intention was to have me blend in the Eastern Alliance with a minor official position.
Not that it would bring much help to Huan Valley, but after all, it’s a decent assignment.”
Sun Yingying’s eyes sparkled: “Wenqing brother, how can I help you make a contribution?
What kind of news do you need?”
Li Ping’an didn’t beat around the bush and went straight to the point: “I’ve been pondering whether there’s an overt case of corruption within the Eastern Alliance.
Those big sects, do they offer various tributes to those high officials?”
“Such matters, our Huan Valley can hardly inquire about, they must be done in utmost secrecy.”
Sun Yingying thought for a moment:
“Wenqing brother, do you intend to earn merits by exposing these matters?
“Please think carefully about this, Wenqing brother.
No matter who it is within the Eastern Alliance, more or less they all have ties of human relationships and worldly affairs.
“Wenqing brother, you have no foundation, you must not get involved in their power struggle.”
“What am I fighting with them for,” Li Ping’an said with a narrowed eye and a smile, “I won’t hide it from you, you just need to know this: my brother has reached an agreement with a certain big shot within the Eastern Alliance.”
Sun Yingying covered her mouth and chuckled: “That big shot must be the Great Enlightenment Immortal-Status Li Ping’an, I guess.”
Li Ping’an’s dao heart gave a slight start, but he didn’t show any reaction: “How do you know about this?
I was not aware of it.”
“Mo brother’s trip to the East Sea was to ask for the help of a dozen sisters in tailing someone, focusing on the Blood Fiend from Blood Fiend Hall.
The Blood Fiend Hall was played by the Great Enlightenment Immortal-Status Li Ping’an from start to finish.
Mo brother most likely has some connection with Li Ping’an.”
Sun Yingying had a touch of helplessness in her eyes:
“Such matters have been sealed off in Huan Valley, and nobody’s a fool – they can guess one or two things.”
“Alright,” Li Ping’an shrugged, “No wonder my brother sent me over there.”
He snatched back the token and put it back into the Storage Treasure.
Li Ping’an asked again: “Do you have any useful news that can help me contribute, like the whereabouts of some Demon Cultivators connected to the Demon Race?”
“The Five-Direction Spirit Stones can let Wenqing brother strike at three slippery Demon Cultivators.”
Li Ping’an waved his hand grandly, and a storage ring refined by Mo Wentian fell into Sun Yingying’s hand.
Sun Yingying said: “Wenqing brother, come here tomorrow to get the news.
I need to have someone from the valley check on these Demon Cultivators’ haunts.”
“Good, it’d be best if they’re connected with the Demon Race.”
“Understood, I can’t let you down, brother…
Wenqing brother, now that business is done, can we maybe…”
The shawl on Sun Yingying’s shoulder slipped unnoticed.
Li Ping’an rose and walked away, his figure turning into a wisp of black smoke.
If you let me see the dances again tomorrow, I will take back the treasures I gave you!”
Sun Yingying stood up to chase after him, murmuring complaints incessantly.
The elegant private room upstairs.
The old steward pretended by Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor stroked his beard and chuckled softly.
Fenghou transmitted his voice: “Your Majesty, Li Ping’an has left, the Great Wealth Immortal has arrived, and there is also a daughter of an old friend here, who is the main reason why I asked Your Majesty to come here.”
The daughter of an old friend?”
The Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor paused, half-closed his eyes, and the barriers and formations all around Dong’an City fell inactive.
He quickly discovered something and suddenly stood up.
“The daughter of the Li Mu family?
Fenghou waved his hand to send away the dancing girls and musicians and sighed: “About this matter, I didn’t know how to report it to you, Tianli, come and tell us about the hardships of Li Mu’s daughter.”
Tianli, the old man, felt touched.
Fenghou, such a personage, indeed made plans three steps ahead.
Right away, Tianli began telling the story of the Mu family and the Fountain of Youth.
Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor frowned, seeing Ningning Mu entering Dong’an City through ‘the special pathway of the great formation’ with Li Dazhi, the image of that little girl with her pigtails herding sheep popped up in his mind, leaving him suddenly feeling nostalgic.
With the demise of Li Mu, an unresolved sorrow filled the Emperor’s heart.
