"However, Qin Jun's cultivation is now stronger than mine. I wonder if he has taken some miraculous elixir."
Qin Yu gritted his teeth, recalling the scene where Qin Jun had choked him earlier, which made him tremble with anger on the bed.
"Don't worry, within a month, Guan Yu will definitely be transferred to Yuguan City. There will be a chance to take down the Third Prince before the Southern Zhuo Dragon Martial Arts Gathering." Anxiao chuckled lightly. With his hat on, it was impossible to see his expression at the moment.
"Alright, you may leave now."
Qin Yu said expressionlessly. Anxiao did not say more and respectfully bowed before turning and leaving, disappearing like a phantom as he walked out of the door.
After Anxiao's presence faded, the Blood Blade King couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, Anxiao's assassin organization belongs to a foreign power. Can we really trust him?"
The role of the Blood Blade organization itself is assassination, and now with Anxiao, he naturally felt displeased.
A mysterious smile appeared on Qin Yu's pale face. "You don't understand. Anxiao comes from the Black Night Pavilion, which does not belong to any kingdom. They have no loyalty. As long as they are given enough spirit stones, they will take action, no matter how strong the opponent is!"
"Relying solely on your Blood Blade organization, many things cannot be accomplished."
Faced with Qin Yu's frankness, the Blood Blade King felt a sense of resistance, but more of it was helplessness. The Blood Blade organization had been established for less than two years, and he was the strongest person, at the eighth level of the Foundation Establishment stage. Many of Qin Yu's enemies were dealt with by him, but he was still at the Foundation Establishment stage.
Some of the court officials had strong Golden Core stage protectors, so the Blood Blade King could only eliminate some lower-level figures for Qin Yu.
"Alright, you may leave as well. I need to rest."
Ignoring the Blood Blade King's expression, Qin Yu waved his hand directly. In his eyes, the Blood Blade King and even the entire Blood Blade organization were just pawns. He had created the Blood Blade organization, and he didn't need to show respect to the Blood Blade King.
The Blood Blade King quickly saluted and then left.
"Qin Jun... I can let my reputation be ruined once, and I can have a second time..."
Qin Yu muttered to himself as he lay on the bed. His pale and handsome face became fierce, clearly showing his deep hatred for Qin Jun.
As the Blood Blade King walked out of the room, he looked back at the sky. Two lines of egrets flew across the blue sky, and he muttered to himself, "The blood blade is not the blade of any one person."
...
"Your Highness, it's time to get up."
In a daze, Qin Jun heard a seductive chuckle. At this moment, he was dreaming of being embraced by Daji on one side and You Fenghuang on the other, lying in a hot spring, feeling extremely comfortable.
"Don't tease... Daji... give me a kiss..."
Standing by the bed, Daji, with an expression of speechlessness, pinched Qin Jun's face. The pain made Qin Jun sit up abruptly, frowning and scolding, "Who the hell is disturbing..."
Before he could finish his sentence, he saw Daji's expressionless face, and Qin Jun couldn't continue.
"Cough, Daji, is there something you need?" Qin Jun asked pretending to be serious.
"Who were you just saying to kiss you?" Daji asked with a playful smile, but her eyes were somewhat cold.
Qin Jun felt extremely embarrassed. Damn, can't you stop barging in on me while I'm sleeping!
Thank goodness I don't have the habit of sleeping naked!
He subconsciously looked at the Xiong Tianquan, which was still crouching on the floor. Sensing his gaze, it turned its head away, as if it didn't know him.
"Ah, I can't hide it. Actually, from the moment I saw you..."
"Get up! The Emperor has sent someone to find you!"
Daji interrupted Qin Jun's confession directly, then got up and left, stepping lightly.
Looking at her graceful figure, Qin Jun felt helpless. She really didn't give him any face. At least let me finish my confession!
Despite feeling dejected, Qin Jun quickly got up and dressed. He understood the purpose of the palace messenger's visit. He would rather stay in a comfortable and luxurious palace than a guest inn.
Before long, dressed in a snowy white robe, Qin Jun walked out of the room with Xiong Tianquan. He saw the Chief Steward of the Imperial Palace, Shen Yan, sitting in the center of the first floor, with two rows of guards standing by, and the other guests were all standing in the corners, whispering.
Guan Yu was sitting with Shen Yan, and the two of them were chatting and laughing.
"This eunuch can actually make the Second Prince laugh."
Qin Jun was amazed, and then he walked down.
Seeing Qin Jun, Shen Yan quickly got up and smiled, "Third Prince, I've been waiting for you."
"No choice, I was too busy last night." Qin Jun laughed and, as he spoke, he made a face at Daji, who was sitting alone nearby.
This scene made the surrounding people suddenly understand, and even Shen Yan's face showed a meaningful smile, a look of understanding.
Daji's mouth twitched, and she turned her head away, not wanting to see his smug face.
"Today, I am here to deliver a message from His Majesty, asking the Third Prince to return to the palace to reside. His Majesty said, as the Prince of Yue, how can you stay in a guest inn." Shen Yan smiled. The innkeeper behind the counter showed a helpless expression. Indeed, a shallow pond cannot hold a dragon.
Qin Jun twisted his neck and smiled, "Can my subordinates be temporarily brought into the palace? Once the Prince's Palace is arranged, I will take them out."
Yan Mo Bei and the others must have his protection, otherwise, even if they were in the Falling Edge Inn, they would not escape death.
Although the Falling Edge Inn had a mysterious background, the servants here were mostly at the Qi Refining stage. As long as a Foundation Establishment stage expert infiltrated, encountered Yan Mo Bei and the others, they would be killed on the spot, and then escape without any problem.
"Of course, as long as the Third Prince keeps them from running around." Shen Yan smiled, "Ordinary people are not allowed to enter the imperial palace. Violators will be executed on the spot by the imperial guards. However, due to the great merit of Lord Qin yesterday, the Emperor Qian made an exception and allowed it."
"Thank you very much."
Lord Qin bowed and smiled, then turned to walk towards the stairs, ready to call Yan Mobei and others down.
As he passed the second floor, he ran into You Fenghuang head-on. He paused for a moment, then greeted her with a smile, "Miss You, what a coincidence. Are you leaving?"
"I am leaving," You Fenghuang said with a deep gaze.
"When will you come back?" Lord Qin blinked and asked. In his mind, he was pondering a question: Is You Fenghuang a peerless genius or a master of the Tianshan Mountains?
You Fenghuang sighed and stared straight at him, "You are the first man to intrude into my room while I was bathing. According to reason, I should have killed you."
What the...
Lord Qin instinctively stepped back. This woman, who seemed to be a master of the Golden Core realm, could probably strike before Guan Yu and the others below could come to his rescue.
But to his surprise, You Fenghuang did not make a move. A mysterious expression appeared in her eyes as she said, "Will you participate in the Southern Zhuo Qianlong Martial Arts Tournament a month from now?"
What kind of event is the Southern Zhuo Qianlong Martial Arts Tournament?
Lord Qin was puzzled, but having lived two lives, he could see at a glance that You Fenghuang was probably a conservative woman who had not experienced love. His accidental intrusion last night had left some impression on her, although it was not enough to win her over completely.
But at least there was a chance!
"If you want me to participate, I will!" Lord Qin vowed earnestly. He was best at sweet-talking, and he was afraid that refusing would provoke You Fenghuang to take action, so he could only grit his teeth and agree.
