The Princess's Promise, Hidden Dangers of the Heavenly Palace

If it weren't for the fact that no dragon-type demons of any significant power had ever been heard of within the territory of Dasheng...

Ye Li insisted on going over to check on the situation.

Back to reality, let's find an opportunity to investigate the famous sects within the Great Sheng territory.

Ye Li shook his head slightly, then turned his attention to the Third Princess' Star Skiff moored outside the mansion.

Judging from the number of living beings sensed, the other party must have come to deliver the previously agreed-upon servants and maids.

"Ye, Ye Li."

Sure enough, Li Yingluo's slightly trembling voice soon rang out from outside the courtyard.

She stared at the tightly closed mansion before her, trying to straighten her back, but she couldn't stop her legs from going weak. She could only grit her teeth and say:

"I've come to deliver something to you. Trouble open the door."

After receiving permission, she turned to look at the servant behind her, but couldn't help but twitch her brow.

Apart from her, everyone else had lost their composure, trembling violently on the ground, unable to move.

Such terrifying cultivation level...

Li Yingluo immediately gained a deeper understanding of her confidant's capabilities.

The Imperial Qi of the Capital City grows stronger when faced with a powerful force.

Even so, the aura emanating from the opponent was enough to keep everyone from getting up, demonstrating a truly unfathomable level of cultivation!

Only Baiyue was passable; he could still manage to bow somewhat towards Li Yingluo, and said with a wry smile:

"Your Highness, please go inside first. I will handle things here. Don't delay General Ye's business."

"Alright." Li Yingluo hesitated for a moment, then nodded gently.

Only then did he turn around, push open the Mansion Gate, and quickly walk through the courtyard.

At this moment, Ye Li had already sat down at the table in the inner courtyard.

"Is there anything else?" He looked up at the princess who was hurrying by.

It's already getting late; if we're only sending Maid, we can wait until tomorrow morning.

"I have prepared some Treasure Medicine needed for cultivation in the Cosmic Birth Realm. Knowing that you would need them for your cultivation, I specially brought them to you."

Li Yingluo sat down in front of the boy, her clear voice carrying a hint of barely perceptible tension, her back as straight as possible.

"... Thank you so much."

Ye Li glanced at the Storage Ring the other person had placed on the table, then silently withdrew his gaze, his tone indifferent.

He possessed the Skeletal Elder, a collection he had treasured throughout his life; he truly had no shortage of such things.

So, I really couldn't muster any interest.

Li Yingluo clearly sensed the boy's disdain, and immediately became even more nervous, uttering a remark unbecoming of her status:

"Is there anything you want? Anything I can give you, I'll give you!"

If outsiders heard this, they would probably be completely astonished.

A promise of such weight comes with a corresponding price.

Even if Ye Li's demands are extremely unreasonable, Li Yingluo will still greatly damage her reputation if she does not meet them!

But Li Yingluo was extremely anxious. Her elder sister's actions put her under immense pressure, so she couldn't even care about such matters.

She stared nervously at Ye Li, and tentatively asked:

"How is it? Did you get it?!"

"Anything is fine?" Ye Li put away the Storage Treasure Tool on the table and glanced over.

"..."

Li Yingluo then realized her slip of the tongue, but due to her status, she still gritted her teeth and affirmed:

"Great! Anything is fine!"

"Has the passage I asked you to open a couple of days ago been opened?" Ye Li asked casually.

"This... it'll be soon." Li Yingluo clenched her fist slightly and explained with pursed lips:

"Even I need time to prepare for something like this, but... at most two days!"

"Two days from now, you are free to go to the Nine Luminaries Division and, in my name, freely browse the files and intelligence of those prestigious sects!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Li frowned slightly, but did not say anything more.

He understood the other party's difficulties and also understood that such matters required time to apply.

The problem is, will the [Great Brahma Palace] give him time to make this application?

If the two sides were to start a war immediately, even with his stat boosts, he would likely find it difficult to capture all of the Buddhist supreme beings.

For targets of this caliber, losing even one would be a tremendous loss.

If possible, Ye Li hopes to settle accounts with the Great Brahma Palace only after he has truly advanced to the Immortal Realm, or even the mid-stage of the Immortal Realm.

Thinking of this, he gently shook his head and sighed:

"Then Trouble if you could keep an eye on the situation within the country. If there's any major Trouble that needs to be dealt with, try to secure the authority to handle it first, and then let me handle it entirely."

"Big Trouble?" Li Yingluo repeated subconsciously.

Shouldn't normal people want to stay away from Trouble and devote themselves wholeheartedly to spiritual practice?

"Yes, the bigger the better."

Ye Li nodded seriously; this was the only thing he hoped the other party would help with.

Anyway, there's an immortal guarding the Great Sheng territory. If anything gets out of control, that immortal should be able to handle it.

Such situations, where someone has a safety net, are rare, so Ye Li also wanted to find an opportunity to go all out.

"I understand."

Li Yingluo took a deep breath, already used to Ye Li's extraordinary abilities, first demanding the power to review the files of domestic forces, and then the power to handle major domestic problems.

These are all things that ordinary people would want to keep at a distance, but there's always a reason why the other party needs them.

Just as she was about to get up and leave, another question she didn't want to hear rang in her ears again.

"Oh, right."

As Ye Li poured himself some tea, he casually asked, "I heard from that Eldest Princess that I'm still the deputy commander of the Imperial Dragon Guard?"

"What's the use of this position?"

"Just a nominal position."

"Lie."

"..."

Li Yingluo closed her eyes in despair, and after a long while, she opened them again, her voice tinged with weariness, and said, "It will be of great use."

"The Imperial Dragon Guard is a royal army force within the Capital City. Although it only numbers a few thousand, they are all elite soldiers and generals at least at the Great Void Realm level."

"They are not under the jurisdiction of the Nine Luminaries Division, but are directly commanded by my Father Emperor, the Emperor. On ordinary days, without a royal decree, they are jointly commanded by the chief and deputy chief commanders."

"... Isn't this the Imperial Guard of the Capital City?" Ye Li asked curiously.

Who is the rightful leader?

"Tong Feng," Li Yingluo said somewhat helplessly, seemingly unwilling to discuss the topic, "Is also a member of the Eldest Princess's faction."

No wonder he seemed so embarrassed.

So, everyone under their command is talented, while you had nothing before... Ye Li suddenly realized, then, too lazy to say anything more, waved his hand and said:

"That's all for today, Your Highness. Please return."

"Farewell!" Li Yingluo felt as if she had been granted a pardon and immediately got up and walked out of the mansion.

However, just before stepping out of the mansion, she suddenly turned around and added in a hoarse voice:

"Regarding your two requests... I will certainly handle them as soon as possible."

"Um."

After Li Yingluo left, Zhenyuan Mansion returned to peace once again.

Seemingly because their legs went weak with fear, the entourage of attendants who had accompanied them were also taken back.

Ye Li had no objection to this.

After giving all of Su Mingyue and Gu Baihong's treasures to the [Gluttonous Treasure Pouch] to turn waste into treasure.

He stood up, walked out of the mansion, strolled around the Southern Region of the Capital City, sampled some Dasheng delicacies, and did not return to the mansion until dark.

An Imperial Palace attendant had been waiting there for some time.

Upon seeing Ye Li, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed respectfully, saying:

"My lord, you have a letter from Longtan. His Highness specifically asked me to deliver it to you as soon as possible."
