Another part of the Imperial Palace.
Qin Mingshu looked at Han Zhen in front of her, her face turning cold.
"I'm asking you, have you been exposed?"
Han Zhen lowered his head and after a long while answered with difficulty:
"... have.
"He said he could follow the clone to kill the main body. I didn't believe him at first, but that Pure Qi had indeed invaded my Divine Soul!"
"For the sake of my life, I, Ye, dare not conceal it any longer and have no choice but to reveal Your Highness's name..."
"I only asked you to deliver something, and you've already betrayed me too?!"
Qin Mingshu was quite annoyed by this.
But seeing Han Zhen's lingering fear, I couldn't help but be shocked.
A cultivator at the Fortune-Mastery Third Stage.
He was easily subdued by his opponent before he could even use his most proficient Evasion Art, and his physical body was almost implicated?!
Ye Li's abilities seem to be even stronger than rumored!
Han Zhen dared not reply and could only lower his head to await his fate.
Fortunately, after pondering for a moment, Qin Mingshu decided to let the matter drop for the time being and sighed:
"Fine, if you know, you know."
"Those files are all genuine. When he checked them, he naturally discovered the problems."
"Given his past behavior, we can't just leave the files unattended simply because they were sent by me."
Han Zhen quickly agreed.
Just then.
A Maid hurried forward and whispered the news from the Third Princess's residence.
Qin Mingshu was taken aback at first, then frowned and asked:
"He agreed?"
"Yes, they said they'd accompany the Third Prince to Linze to capture the demon tomorrow, and the carriages have already been arranged."
"..."
Qin Mingshu frowned even more deeply.
She was all too familiar with Qin Mingqi's tactics.
They pretend to be innocent and harmless, and then actively approach the person they like.
This time, she actually managed to coax Ye Li?
A peerless genius who can even kill a peak sixth-level True Person, is he really going to fall for this?!
Qin Mingshu slowly lowered her eyes, looking at her surprisingly full breasts, then clasped her arms together in front of her.
Her already alluring figure became even more breathtaking.
If that's all there is to it, things are easier to handle than expected.
In terms of status, she was no less than Qin Mingqi.
The other conditions are also met.
If Ye Li really liked it when a woman took the initiative to show her affection, it wouldn't be difficult for him to stay at his residence for a few days.
Qin Mingshu has an extreme personality and always likes to do things in an extreme way.
With Ye Li's talent and methods...
No matter how many resources other cultivators provided, they would not be able to cultivate him.
If we really want to keep it by our side, it's worth paying some price.
Whether it's physical health or social status.
Both are open to discussion.
Even if she were to marry him in the future and bear his children, there was nothing she couldn't agree to.
But the prerequisite is that he must first sign Subject Contract.
From now on, no matter what level of cultivation they attain, they must obey my commands. They cannot one day feel that they are capable enough and then abandon me!
Qin Mingshu pondered for a moment, then raised her head again.
There's no need to rush to find him right now.
Once Ye Li has committed a serious enough offense and understands the rules of the Divine Dynasty, it will be easier to discuss many things when Ye Li speaks up.
She looked at Han Zhen and gave him a brief instruction:
"Keep an eye on Linze."
"Especially Ye Li's every move, let me see it clearly, and report back to me as soon as he commits a crime serious enough!"
Han Zhen's heart tightened, and he quickly bowed:
"Yes, sir!!"
The next morning.
Ye Li left his Imperial Palace and went to the appointment with the palace servants who came to escort him.
An Ziqing stayed behind as instructed.
Only after the figure in the Green Robe disappeared from sight did Qin Baiyi, who was standing under the corridor, withdraw his gaze, his expression full of worry.
"Palace Heir An, do you think she might make any other requests to Boss Ye?"
"We even signed the contract last night. If she still refuses to release him..."
An Ziqing glanced at her and said calmly:
What's the point of thinking about these things now?
Qin Baiyi was speechless.
An Ziqing turned and walked into the courtyard, her voice carried on the wind:
"Since he promised you, he will get things done."
Instead of wasting your time here, I'd better go see if you want to leave early.
"... That's true."
Qin Baiyi agreed with a wry smile.
She glanced at Ye Li, who had been forced to agree to the date because of her, then looked in the direction of the Imperial Palace before leaving.
Outside the Imperial Palace.
Several Treasure Ships bearing the imperial Law Seal had been waiting high in the sky for a long time.
Qin Mingqi was wearing a light blue dress today. Upon seeing Ye Li arrive, she immediately greeted him with a smile.
Ye Li, you've come at the perfect time!
"I've arranged everything along the way, let's go now!"
She reached out and grabbed Ye Li's sleeve, leading him onto the foremost Treasure Ship.
It must be said that, judging from appearances alone, the Third Princess's actions would indeed easily win the favor of ordinary cultivators.
After all, humans are very good at deceiving themselves.
Those who have received her favors generally feel that no matter how bad the princess is to outsiders, she is good to them, and that is true kindness!
Only a very few insightful people can truly understand and implement the principle that everything has a price.
Now.
With Qin Baiqi's command.
Hundreds of armored cultivators took to the air and Path Opening a path for the Treasure Ship ahead.
Upon seeing the imperial procession, the Sky-Patrolling Ship along the route quickly moved aside, and the officials on board bowed from a distance, with no one daring to stand in front.
Behind the Treasure Ship.
Bai Jingshan stood side by side with another elderly man in black robes, taking in the scene before them.
The latter was the same Fortune-Mastery who had previously been in charge of watching over Qin Baiyi.
"... They're really young."
The old man in black robes looked at Ye Li and said in a voice transmission:
I only saw him briefly yesterday, so I didn't really notice anything.
"Now that I'm closer, I realize just how outrageous his bloodlust is."
"Otherwise, why do you think His Highness is so concerned?"
Bai Jingshan stroked his beard and smiled.
The old man in black robes nodded approvingly, then hesitated slightly:
"But given his talent, Supreme Clarity Palace has probably already given him everything it could."
"Your Highness wishes to keep him here, but it won't be that easy..."
That's not necessarily true.
Bai Jingshan seemed unconcerned.
"His Highness has a special constitution and is blessed with imperial fortune, which can subtly influence even us True Person."
"If they can truly become Daoist partners, it will benefit both of them in their future cultivation."
"The True Person at the Supreme Clarity Palace already knew about this matter, and their agreement to Ye Li come this time might not necessarily mean they were unwilling to facilitate it."
After a moment's thought, the old man in black robes nodded in approval.
Such a prodigy.
If they can stay in the Divine Dynasty, those of them who follow the Third Princess will naturally benefit from it in the future!
