Having successfully become a major shareholder of the Purple Orchid Pavilion by paying some precious items, Xiao Tian was quite carefree. He would spend his free time teasing Zi Nu and Nongyu, eating and drinking for free, and occasionally using his Ruyi Divine Ability Invisibility Technique to visit Lady Mingzhu and remind Ji Wuye, enjoying himself immensely.
Perhaps the butterfly effect caused by Xiao Tian and others' arrival was too great; Zuo Sima and Liu Yi were killed and quickly defeated by Han Fei.
The key point, of course, is the Vulture the Hundred Birds Organization, who was knocked unconscious by Xiao Tian's powerful assistance.
By chance, Wei Zhuang brought a person from the Seven Absolutes Hall. According to what the disciples of the Seven Absolutes Hall had seen and heard, that person had once broken into the residence of Zuo Sima Liu Yi.
According to Han Fei's interrogation, this person's identity was revealed to be the former Right Sima Li Kai, who had died, and the first love of Lady Hu, the current wife of Left Sima Liu Yi.
This leads to the uncovering of a major secret: the massacre of Duke Huo Yu in the Baiyue Kingdom and the mysterious disappearance of countless riches.
Why did the Vulture want to kill Liu Yi? There's still no progress.
Han Fei walked across the river, lost in deep thought.
Knowing the specifics of the original timeline, Xiao Tian still refrained from revealing the information.
"Why not make a breakthrough from the perspective of Right Sima Li Kai?" Xiao Tian suggested.
"Brother Xiao is absolutely right," Han Fei nodded.
Li Kai was very stubborn and excellent at keeping secrets; no matter how Han Fei tried to persuade or interrogate him, it was to no avail.
"It seems there's only one last option: to find Lady Hu."
Upon hearing the name Lady Hu, Li Kai's eyes flickered slightly, but he remained silent.
Xiao Tian, who was also there to join in the fun, followed Han Fei, Wei Zhuang, Zi Nu to Liu Yi's residence.
Liu Yi's wife, Lady Hu, was the eldest daughter of Duke Huo Yu of Baiyue. As a noblewoman, she had excellent genes and, despite her age, was still a beautiful and elegant lady, which caught Xiao Tian's attention.
"Ninth Young Master, is there anything else you wish to ask?" Lady Hu greeted Han Fei, Xiao Tian, and the others with a sorrowful expression.
When she saw the person behind Wei Zhuang dressed in shabby beggar's rags, her delicate body couldn't help but tremble.
Han Fei noticed the change in Lady Hu and smiled, " Lady Hu, an old friend, you certainly don't know him well, do you?"
Lady Hu shook her head and said, "Ninth Young Master, I don't understand what you're talking about."
" Lady Hu, you are the eldest daughter of Duke Huo Yu, and you once had a love affair with Li Kai. Now that this old friend has appeared, what are you still hiding?"
"Ninth Young Master, General Li is already dead." Lady Hu said, tears welling up and falling from her eyes.
Seeing that Lady Hu was still enduring it, Xiao Heavenly Eye brought Li Kai, who was in a beggar's state, to him.
"Why are you still hiding it? Are you afraid your daughter will be harmed?" Xiao Tian said with a sneer.
"Daughter?" Lady Hu, her expression puzzled.
But the disheveled Li Kai's expression changed.
Upon hearing Xiao Tian's words, Han Fei suddenly remembered something.
" Huo Yu Agate, so that's how it is."
Han Fei had seen Nongyu in the Purple Orchid Pavilion also possess Huo Yu Agate. Huo Yu Agate originated from the territory of the Duke Huo Yu, and after the Duke Huo Yu was wiped out, not much Huo Yu Agate flowed out.
After Xiao Tian's reminder, Han Fei became certain that Nongyu was very likely the daughter of Li Kai and Lady Hu.
At this moment, Li Kai stared intently at Xiao Tian.
"Hey, I guessed right."
"What are you saying, young master?" Lady Hu wondered.
"How did you know?" Li Kai didn't want to hide it anymore. His daughter, Nongyu, was being treated quite well at the Purple Orchid Pavilion, and this group of people would never harm Nongyu.
"The key point is the Huo Yu Agate. Also, when you were being interrogated by Han Fei, Nongyu came in to serve you tea and water. Although you concealed it well, your peripheral vision still captured Nongyu's image. The eyes are the windows to the soul, and at that moment, I was somewhat certain." Xiao Tian chuckled.
"Brother Xiao has truly done me a great favor Han Fei. Li Kai, Nongyu is your and Lady Hu's daughter, right? If that's the case, I think I know why Vulture killed Zuo Sima Liu Yi. The infamous ' Three Wolf Bandits' set fire to Duke Huo Yu Manor, causing countless deaths and the loss of enormous wealth."
"After that, the Three Wolf Bandits mysteriously disappeared. Liu Yi probably played a dishonorable role in it." Han Fei stared at Li Kai and smiled slightly.
"Brother Li, our daughter is still alive?" Lady Hu could no longer remain calm.
Li Kai trembled, his eyes tightly closed, and sighed, "Many years ago, I actually discovered our daughter, but at that time I dared not say much, nor dared I approach you."
"You have plenty of time to catch up, so let's get straight to the point about Liu Yi's death. How much do you know about it?"
"That beast Liu Yi!" Li Kai gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "Back then, it was actually Liu Yi who ordered the Three Wolf Bandits, Vulture was one of the Three Wolf Bandits..."
Knowing the specifics, Xiao Tian walked a short distance away and yawned.
Liu Yi's death was caused by Vulture, one of the Three Wolf Bandits, who was also the Vulture of the White Bird Organization. Besides seeking revenge, Vulture was also searching for the whereabouts of the Huo Yu Agate treasures from back then.
Li Kai explained everything he knew, Han Fei connected the many clues and understood everything.
The matter of Liu Yi's death can be resolved by handing over the Vulture, but the feud with Nightfall will only intensify.
Xiao Tian felt great sympathy for Li Kai. His beautiful wife had been taken by his colleague, and he, who was originally handsome and talented, had been disfigured and almost died, enduring many years of hardship.
Meanwhile, an interesting thing happened at the Crown Prince's residence.
The Crown Prince of Han State was captured alive.
" King of a Hundred Poisons, Corpse-Controlling Demon, I never imagined you two had gone through such an incredible journey. You are indeed much stronger than before. So, do you think those you mentioned will agree to join forces with us and help us rebuild Baiyue?"
The King of a Hundred Poisons shook his head, stared at Tian Ze of Baiyue, and said bluntly, "Lord Xiao Tian is a very opinionated and powerful person. He doesn't value power, nor does he lack wealth or beautiful women, unless Master can help him find many Nine-Colored Glazed Jade Fragment."
"What are you going to do with all this?" Tian Ze stared at King of a Hundred Poisons, sensing that his former subordinate was hiding something from him.
"I don't know, but Lord Xiao Tian came here to find these things," the King of a Hundred Poisons replied, not intending to reveal the secrets of the World Fragment.
" King of a Hundred Poisons, there's no need to hide it, Master. The Nine-Colored Glazed Jade Fragment are also known as World Fragment. Lord Xiao Tian is searching for these to help repair the world they inhabit." The Corpse-Controlling Demon glanced at the King of a Hundred Poisons, his opportunistic nature quite evident, revealing his true intentions.
"Repairing the world? So these jade pieces contain unimaginable power, is that right?" Tian Ze sneered, his eyes gleaming with a wild light.
Upon seeing this, the King of a Hundred Poisons shook his head inwardly, somewhat regretting reuniting with his former master.
Can Baiyue really be rebuilt? King of a Hundred Poisons had some doubts.
"Put Xiao Tian's matter aside, what I need now is this deposed crown prince to do something for me and collect some interest!" Tian Ze's eyes were cold as he recalled his unpleasant experiences.
