Xiao Tian patted Han Fei on the shoulder and chuckled, "Don't be afraid, who in Nightfall would dare to touch you? Xiao Zhuang will take care of it for you. After all, he took my protection money."
Upon hearing this, Wei Zhuang's lips twitched.
Han Fei couldn't help but smile, having made up his mind.
"Then I'll interrogate him to find out his true identity. There's bound to be a final battle between him, Ye Nightfall, and Ji Wuye."
Xiao Tian yawned and said, "I'm hungry, beautiful Zi Nu, could you prepare some food for me?"
"This is the first time I've seen someone yawn and say they're hungry. Young Master Xiao, you're truly an extraordinary person. Please wait a moment, and I'll personally cook you some delicious food."
"Hehe, that's great! I'll have to drink a few more bottles of his wine then."
Yan Lingji couldn't help but roll her eyes.
Han Fei was skilled in interrogation, but the assassin was a tough nut to crack.
As for the assassin's identity, Xiao Tian, being a transmigrator, had watched this anime in his previous life, so he knew his identity.
Ji Wuye's Nightfall faction, Vulture within the Hundred Birds organization, if Wei Zhuang is considered a first-rate expert, then Vulture would be considered a second-rate one.
The Vulture's beak is very strong; Han Fei has finally met his match.
As for the Nightfall, Ji Wuye was not too concerned about Vulture's unsuccessful start; in fact, he was somewhat satisfied.
Ji Wuye's mission for Vulture was not only to warn Han Fei, but also to investigate the inner workings of the Purple Cloud Pavilion.
Ji Wuye was very satisfied with this success, as it made him realize that there was at least one very strong expert within the Purple Cloud Pavilion.
"I just don't know if that expert is stronger than the one I contacted."
We need to test the waters again.
That night, the moon, round as a disc, hung high in the sky.
Feeling both delighted and bored, Princess Hong Lian wandered around the palace. As she wandered, she came to the forbidden palace she had never dared to go before, for fear of encountering ghosts—the ruins of the Zheng State's harem.
"Since we're already here, and we have Brother Xiao's treasure, let's go take a look." Hong Lian's beautiful eyes darted around, and she gripped the Crescent Moon Treasure Necklace around her neck, her confidence growing.
Previously, Hong Lian had tested the chain's supernatural abilities. Just at dusk, as she was climbing over the wall and about to fall, she was filled with panic and fear. Suddenly, the Crescent Moon Treasure Lotus around her neck resonated with her, and a vast map appeared in Hong Lian's mind.
Hong Lian didn't think much of it and tried to forget the map, but she couldn't close it. After some research, she realized that she needed to focus her mind on a place.
And so, instead of falling off the wall, she suddenly found herself in her own attic.
Hong Lian thought this treasure could be used indefinitely, unaware that it could only be used once a day. With a death wish, she ventured deep into the ruins.
"Why is there light in such a gloomy and abandoned place? And why are there people there?" Hong Lian wondered, walking into the corridor and approaching the front.
"Hey, isn't that the person from the Purple Orchid Pavilion before?"
"Where did he go?" Hong Lian blinked involuntarily, remembering that there was someone sitting in the corridor ahead.
"Is it a hallucination? This place is so eerie, let's go back."
Hong Lian muttered to herself, then turned to leave.
"Ah!"
Hong Lian felt as if she had bumped into someone, and her body was uncontrollably thrown backward. Unable to support herself, she closed her eyes and waited to fall to the ground.
Suddenly, an arm appeared on her waist and back.
Hong Lian opened her beautiful eyes wide, and what she saw was Wei Zhuang, whom she had seen before.
"Watch where you're going," Wei Zhuang said calmly, straightening Hong Lian's position and withdrawing his arm.
"How did you end up here?" Hong Lian asked curiously.
"Don't ask what you shouldn't know. You'd better leave." Wei Zhuang said, then turned and left.
Hong Lian couldn't help but stomp her foot and mutter, "What kind of temper is that?"
As soon as Xiao Tian woke up after a night, the Animal Path the Six Paths Bodies responded with a summons.
It is at least a hundred miles Xinzheng City.
Why did you arrest this person?
Xiao Tian was quite astonished and looked at the young man being held by the Deva Path Body.
According to the system's detection information, the young man is Li Si, an envoy from the Qin State, and he is currently alone.
Xiao Tian glanced at the nine-colored glazed World Fragment that appeared in his hand, but showed no reaction, proving that Li Si did not actually possess any World Fragment.
"This person claims to have seen World Fragment," the Deva Path Body explained.
"Oh, okay, then wake him up."
Xiao Tian used the Ruyi Divine Ability: Seventy-Two Transformations to disguise himself as the Yasuo the Unforgiven, and also concealed his Tensei Jōgan and Nine-Tomoe Rinnegan so that others could not see him.
Li Si Youyou awoke.
"Just say what you want to ask."
Li Si, as expected of Xunzi's prized student and Han Fei's fellow disciple, remained remarkably calm and showed no fear of Xiao Tian and the others, treating them with composure.
"I heard you've seen this before?" Xiao Tian chuckled, placing the object in his hand in front of Li Si.
Li Si examined the Nine-Colored Glazed Jade Fragment, nodded calmly, and said, "I have seen it before. I saw it in the home of a high-ranking official in Qin State. That official treasured it as a priceless gem and protected it with utmost care. Its texture is so hard that even Kong cannot match it, and swords and blades cannot leave the slightest mark on it."
Xiao Tian understood that Li Si had seen him before.
"Who is that esteemed person?"
" Chancellor Lü," Li Si said directly.
Xiao Tian Xiao and ordered the Deva Path Body to release Li Si.
"You're quite sensible; you can leave now."
Li Si was inwardly surprised; this group of people was interesting.
"You are all men of exceptional character and talent. Why not follow Li Si and accomplish great things, then enjoy Fugui?"
Xiao Tian chuckled and quickly disappeared with his Six Paths Bodies.
"My name, Li Si, is still not well-known enough. Having survived this calamity, I am sure to be blessed with good fortune." Li Si brushed the dust off his clothes, straightened his garments, determined his location, and continued on his way.
Inside the Korean royal palace.
Ji Wuye, Han Fei, Chancellor Zhang Kaidi, and the fourth prince Han Yu were urgently summoned to the palace.
"Take a look! How should this matter be handled!" King Han's face was grim as he slammed a report in front of Han Fei, Ji Wuye, and the others.
After Han Fei and the others finished reading, they were surprised to find that the Qin State envoy had been assassinated on his way to Xinzheng.
This undoubtedly provoked a conflict between the two countries!
The Qin State is now militarily strong and well-equipped; if a war were to break out, the Han State would be far from being a match for it.
"Your Majesty, there is something fishy about this matter; it must be thoroughly investigated," the Prime Minister Zhang Kaidi stated bluntly.
"We must investigate. It's shameful to have an envoy killed on our territory! The murder of an envoy is the most taboo thing ever! I'm giving you three days to thoroughly investigate this matter! Otherwise, when the new envoy arrives in Xinzheng, you'll have to deal with it yourselves!" King Han said coldly.
In the Purple Orchid Pavilion, Xiao Tian returned using his innate ability: Teleport. He woke up Bai Yuechu, who was sleeping in, and then took the adorable Tushan Susu to breakfast.
"My head hurts." Han Fei burst in, followed by Wei Zhuang.
" Little Feifei, what's going on?" Xiao Tian asked, eating breakfast and drinking hot milk mixed with his Martial Soul Beverage Cola.
"Trouble has arisen. The Qin State envoy has unexpectedly died on our territory, and according to reports, the Qin State army has already assembled at the border."
"What, want to run? Let's sell our belongings quickly, maybe we can escape." Xiao Tian chuckled.
"Brother Xiao, you're exaggerating. While it is troublesome, it doesn't mean we'll have to be destitute and homeless."
"That's true. The trouble is yours, it has nothing to do with our Purple Orchid Pavilion."
Han Fei looked embarrassed upon hearing this.
" Purple Orchid Pavilion has nothing to do with you, Young Master Xiao." Zi Nu rolled her eyes.
Whoosh!
"Young Master Xiao, welcome to invest. Now it's related to you."
