Ye Qingyun and his disciple were still discussing how they could escape.
Little did they know.
Qin Zizai, who was hidden nearby, heard their entire conversation clearly.
Qin Zizai was an expert at the late stage of the Saint Lord realm, even more terrifying than the Fiery Cloud Evil God from before.
Even the Fiery Cloud Evil God couldn't detect Qin Zizai's presence, let alone True Person Ziwei and his disciple.
Everything that happened to Ye Qingyun in the prison was under Qin Anlan's control.
The achievements he had today, besides possessing extremely terrifying luck, allowing him to stumble upon opportunities at any time.
The most important thing was the help from True Person Ziwei and the old man in the ring.
Without True Person Ziwei, without the old man in the ring.
For a loser like Ye Qingyun, a comeback would have been a pipe dream.
Qin Anlan had considered directly snatching the ring from Ye Qingyun.
However, after careful consideration, he dismissed the idea.
Firstly, the old man in the ring was Ye Qingyun's unique opportunity.
Even if Qin Anlan managed to snatch it, it would be useless.
Secondly.
The Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate possessed a vast amount of heavenly treasures and endless resources.
Qin Anlan was not truly interested in the broken trinkets Ye Qingyun used.
Since he couldn't snatch the old man in the ring, Qin Anlan decided to find another way to seize something.
For example.
Ye Qingyun's beautiful master.
True Person Ziwei.
"Using provocation to sow discord between the master and disciple is indeed a good plan."
"But for someone like me, a villain, wouldn't using this method against a Child of Destiny be a bit wicked?"
"No, no, no, everything this Young Lord does is for Villain Points, and to eliminate those hypocritical Children of Destiny."
Qin Anlan righteously adorned his actions with the noble banner of righteousness.
He learned this from those Children of Destiny; everything they did was right.
Whereas Qin Anlan, the villain.
Whatever he did was wrong.
As he pondered, Qin Anlan immediately decided to put his plan into action.
Speak of the devil.
Just then, Tu Xiu arrived to report, "Reporting to Your Highness, an elder from Heavenly Firmament Academy, True Person Ziwei, requests an audience."
True Person Ziwei had come directly to his doorstep.
Qin Anlan narrowed his eyes.
He assumed the other party was here for Ye Qingyun.
Qin Anlan was just about to implement his plan to sow discord and drive a wedge between the master and disciple.
He never expected.
True Person Ziwei would deliver himself to his doorstep.
It seemed he and the female lead had a telepathic connection.
Excellent.
Even though True Person Ziwei was Ye Qingyun's master.
Qin Anlan knew without even thinking.
People like Ye Qingyun were indiscriminate and brainless Children of Destiny.
In the end, he probably wouldn't even spare True Person Ziwei, directly turning him into the female lead.
In the great hall.
On a raised platform.
Qin Anlan occupied the main seat, while True Person Ziwei was seated below.
He had heard of True Person Ziwei's reputation long ago, but this was his first time meeting the man himself.
Don't let True Person Ziwei's four to five hundred years of age fool you.
In the path of cultivation, age is irrelevant.
Experts at the Saint Realm can live for ten thousand years.
Those at the Saint Lord level, or even higher powers, can live for hundreds of thousands of years.
By that comparison, True Person Ziwei is merely a four or five-year-old child.
As expected of Heavenly Firmament Academy's top female expert, she is indeed a peerless beauty.
However, Qin Anlan's eyes held no lecherous gaze.
There was only normal admiration.
It was as if he were looking at an exceptionally beautiful peony, simply appreciating its splendor.
But if necessary, Qin Anlan wouldn't mind "crushing the flower," personally destroying this beautiful peony.
While Qin Anlan was appraising True Person Ziwei, she was also appraising him.
Because of Ye Qingyun, True Person Ziwei didn't have a very good impression of Qin Anlan.
After all, just a few days ago, her disciple had been thrown into death row by Qin Anlan and suffered greatly.
Even though all of that was Ye Qingyun's own doing.
True Person Ziwei found it difficult to feel any goodwill towards Qin Anlan.
Yet, Qin Anlan's calm gaze made True Person Ziwei's opinion shift slightly.
Over the past few centuries, she had seen countless young talents.
Those individuals appeared upright and dignified on the surface, acting like perfect gentlemen.
But deep down, in their eyes when they looked at True Person Ziwei, a spark of desire would involuntarily flicker.
They simply didn't dare to show it due to True Person Ziwei's status and strength.
Qin Anlan's current demeanor, however, was completely different from those hypocrites.
"This Young Lord has long heard of True Person Ziwei's reputation."
"Although we both reside in the capital, this is our first formal meeting."
Qin Anlan swept his gaze over True Person Ziwei's exquisite face and said with a faint smile.
"The Young Lord of the Divine Marquis is of noble birth and deeply favored by the Emperor, a fact that makes countless people envious."
True Person Ziwei's words were quite accurate.
Although she came from a prominent family and could be considered a scion of a powerful clan.
Otherwise, no matter how extraordinary True Person Ziwei's talent was, she wouldn't have been able to reach the Peak Saint stage in just a few centuries.
But even so, there was no comparison between her and Qin Anlan.
Qin Anlan possessed the bloodline of the Qin clan and the Xuanyuan Imperial Clan.
Even Emperor Xuanyuan doted on Qin Anlan, his nephew, immensely.
There was even a palace built specifically for Qin Anlan deep within the Xuanyuan Imperial Palace.
True Person Ziwei's intention in coming was merely to shamelessly beg Qin Anlan to spare her disciple, Ye Qingyun.
She had no intention of engaging in extensive conversation with Qin Anlan.
However.
As Qin Anlan engaged in casual conversation, the two of them chatted.
True Person Ziwei was surprisingly discovering that she and Qin Anlan got along quite well.
Qin Anlan had unique insights on many matters.
From court politics to various magical arts and divine abilities.
Qin Anlan's discourse was extraordinary.
It was clear he had already thought everything through.
Even though True Person Ziwei had lived a few hundred years longer than Qin Anlan and possessed far more experience.
At this moment, in front of Qin Anlan.
She felt a sense of inferiority and inadequacy.
Furthermore, Qin Anlan was easygoing and didn't put on any airs of a Young Lord of the Divine Marquis.
His attitude was gentle.
It made people involuntarily develop a sense of goodwill.
