First meeting with Jianning, laying the cards on the table with the fake empress dowager!

Almost instinctively, Hai Dafu turned around and struck out with his palm, using his ultimate technique, the Bone-Dissolving Soft Palm.

But after the palm strike landed, Hai Dafu realized that this person was very likely the Emperor.

But by then it was too late to withdraw the force of his palm.

Just then, Hai Dafu felt a surge of overwhelming power suddenly shake him, which not only shattered the force of his Bone-Dissolving Soft Palm but also sent him flying forward.

Fortunately, this force was not particularly strong and did not intend to harm him; otherwise, Hai Dafu would not have survived under such immense power.

When he turned around and saw that it was Ling Yi, he was so surprised that his mouth dropped open, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Don't be so rash next time. Come back to the palace with me," Ling Yi said calmly.

"Ah, chirp!"

Hai Dafu was filled with questions: When did our emperor become so powerful?

With this Kung Fu Hustle, he's probably unmatched in the world.

"Your Majesty, do you remember when this old servant entered the palace?" Hai Dafu had clearly begun to doubt Ling Yi's true identity.

"You entered the palace at the age of forty-one. Before that, you were an elder of the Kongtong Sect, possessing extraordinary martial arts talent and having studied various martial arts styles. You once had a wife and a son, but due to offending your enemies, your wife and child were all killed..."

"After entering the palace, he served diligently, serving the late emperor and both of my mothers. Do I need to continue?"

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"You are a shrewd and cautious person, so it is only natural that you have some doubts. I will naturally not blame you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Hai Dafu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, his heart filled with profound shock.

He never told anyone about these things, especially the fact that he had a wife and children, which was his own secret.

Unexpectedly, the emperor knew all about his background, which filled Hai Dafu with awe for the young emperor before him.

"No need to overthink it. I've endured for so many years, what do you think it was all for?" Ling Yi sneered.

"Your Majesty is wise!" Hai Dafu still had some doubts, but they were about Ling Yi's Kung Fu Hustle, not Ling Yi's identity.

"Your Majesty, since you possess such unparalleled martial arts skills, why not simply capture Oboi directly? Why bother coming to Jiangnan to meet the other seven banner leaders?"

What could Ling Yi say? Could he tell him that he only wanted to follow the plot before, but now he didn't want to anymore?

His current identity is that of the Emperor, so there's no way he can fool around with Wei Xiaobao; otherwise, things would get really messy.

"I came to meet an interesting person and witness some interesting things. Now that I've met the person, the things..."

Just then, a commotion arose outside the door.

Ling Yi laughed and said, "Isn't this where the interesting things are about to happen!"

With that, Ling Yi pushed open the door and walked out without any attempt to conceal himself. This time, Ling Yi did not change his appearance; he used Kangxi's original appearance.

However, his face was covered with a layer of Magic Power, so even if others saw him, they wouldn't remember what he looked like. This was also a way of using Magic Power.

For a deity with a title and status, these are all minor tricks.

Standing on the second floor, Ling Yi became a bystander.

"It seems Oboi has recruited quite a few talented people!"

Looking at the few experts fighting the members of the Heaven and Heaven and Earth Society, Ling Yi murmured.

" Oboi does indeed have quite a few talented people under his command. Over the years, he Heaven and Earth Society to the point of being like stray dogs. He is indeed quite capable," Hai Dafu said truthfully.

"Unexpectedly, Chan Kan-nam is here too. It seems that Oboi's men had already found out about this, which is why they launched this attack."

Chan Kan-nam was highly skilled in martial arts, and he moved with ease and grace among the soldiers and Oboi's henchmen.

However, his high level of martial arts skills does not mean that the other members of the Heaven and Earth Society are also highly skilled.

Soon, members of the Heaven and Earth Society were killed one after another, especially the death of the Qingmu Hall, which enraged Chan Kan-nam.

He unleashed several powerful attacks in succession, killing more than a dozen soldiers.

Just then, a tiny, baby-like figure suddenly and inexplicably got involved.

Almost injured by the soldiers, Chan Kan-nam's agility soared once again in order to save the child.

However, what Chan Kan-nam didn't know was that this wasn't a child at all, but a dwarf, who was also one of Oboi's men.

Taking advantage of Chan Kan-nam's approach, a handful of lime was scattered out.

Caught completely off guard, Chan Kan-nam was struck directly and instantly lost his sight.

After that, just like in the original story, she was rescued by Wei Xiaobao and escaped by crawling into a hideout.

Despite suffering heavy losses, the officers and soldiers still managed to let Chan Kan-nam and the other leaders of the Heaven and Earth Society escape.

The general leading the troops was furious and surrounded the Spring Fragrance Court, intending to turn Spring Fragrance Court upside down.

When soldiers tried to search Ling Yi and Hai Dafu, they were scared away by a token from Hai Dafu.

Five days later, Ling Yi and Hai Dafu returned to the palace without a sound.

In the imperial study, Ling Yi had already changed back into his own clothes and said to Hai Dafu, "You don't need to investigate the Sutra in Forty-Two Chapters any further; I already know its secrets."

Hai Dafu was startled and quickly replied, "This servant obeys the decree."

"As for the Empress Dowager's matter, you don't need to concern yourself with it for now; I will make my own decision."

Hai Dafu knelt on the ground with a thud, his head hitting the ground in shock, and said, "Please punish me, Your Majesty, this old servant, this old servant..."

"So many years have passed, and you are still so persistent about this matter. It must be hard for you. I already know the cause of death of Prince Rong, Consort Donggo, Consort Zhen, and Empress Xiaokang. It was all done by the fake Empress Dowager."

"A fake Empress Dowager?" Hai Dafu looked up, somewhat incredulous.

"Yes, I only recently found out that this fake Empress Dowager hid in the palace years ago, imprisoned my mother, and then impersonated her. Her true identity is the personal disciple of the leader of the Mystic Dragon Cult, named Long'er."

"Her purpose in entering the palace was precisely for these Sutra in Forty-Two Chapters."

Hai Dafu's curiosity was piqued. What secrets did these Sutra in Forty-Two Chapters Sutra in Forty-Two Chapters hold? Why were so many people vying for them?

But the emperor forbade him to continue investigating the Sutra in Forty-Two Chapters, so he naturally dared not investigate or ask any more questions. Now, he held this young emperor in awe to the core.

"I have two tasks for you. First, go to Yunnan and find a woman named A Ke. Bring her back. A Ke is currently a disciple of the Divine Nun Jiunan, and her true identity is very likely Wu Sangui's daughter."

"This old servant obeys the decree!" Hai Dafu replied after a moment's hesitation.

Then came a wry smile. He knew about the Divine Nun Jiunan; it was said that her martial arts had reached Transformation Realm. Trying to snatch a disciple from her would not be an easy task.

"The second thing is that you bring back the twin sisters from the Heaven and Earth Society, named Da Shuang'er and Little Shuang'er. Remember, handle these two matters discreetly and do not make a fuss about them."

Hai Dafu felt even more bitter. Well, neither of these two things was simple.

Putting everything else aside, just finding the right person is a hassle.

The key issue is that he has to work secretly, which means he doesn't have much power at his disposal.

He had no confidence in either the Divine Nun Jiunan or Chan Kan-nam of the Heaven and Earth Society.

With a wave of his hand, Ling Yi implanted the Turtle Wave Technique, the Tang Family Overlord Spear, and the Little Li's Flying Dagger techniques he had obtained from the " Flirting with Qiuxiang " world into Hai Dafu's mind.

At the same time, he used his Magic Power to separate the still large meridians, remove the damage in them, and restore his body to its Pinnacle condition.

"This..."

Hai Dafu was completely dumbfounded as he felt his youthful body, the unprecedented ease of his breathing, the new cultivation techniques in his mind, and his Internal Energy that had grown several times stronger.

The Emperor actually possesses such methods?

This is probably no different from being Land Immortal, isn't it?

"This old servant will serve Your Majesty with utmost devotion, even unto death!" Hai Dafu kowtowed three times, speaking with utmost respect.

"As long as you serve me diligently, the benefits in the future will be a hundred times, a thousand times greater than today. I hope you will not disappoint me."

"This old servant would gladly die a thousand deaths!"

"Go down!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, this old servant takes his leave!"

In the original storyline, Hai Dafu's true loyalty was not to Kangxi, but to Shunzhi.

It was Shunzhi who ordered him to find the Sutra in Forty-Two Chapters, and it was also Shunzhi who ordered him to investigate the cause of death of the four men from that year.

But now that so many benefits have been given, Ling Yi is convinced that Hai Dafu will not return to his side.

If they are ungrateful and secretly plot against you, then all that power, given away, will naturally be taken back in the same way.

"It's time to go see Goddess Zhang."

However, just as Ling Yi left the imperial study, he saw a petite figure hopping and skipping towards him. Upon seeing Ling Yi, the figure quickened its pace.

After running to Ling Yi's side, she hugged Ling Yi arm and said in a coquettish tone, "Brother, where have you been these past few days? It's been so long since I've seen you!"

The visitor was none other than Jianning.

Looking at the beautiful woman so close to him, Ling Yi felt a surge of lust rising within him for no apparent reason.

This is Goddess Qiu, and Goddess Qiu at the Pinnacle her beauty.

Both her looks and figure are flawless, and the movie world itself has optimized the character's appearance. At this moment, Jianning is simply perfect.

"Brother, why are you looking at me like that?" This was the first time Jianning had ever seen her brother look at her like that.

"Let's go, it's a good opportunity to go with me to see our beloved Empress Dowager." Ling Yi lowered his gaze and took a deep breath as he spoke.

"Could I please not go see Mother? She's been in a bad mood lately, and I've been scolded several times already."

Jianning did not notice the subtle Changes in how Ling Yi addressed her.

"Some things are better explained beforehand!"

"What exactly happened?"

Ling Yi didn't speak, but instead led Jianning to the Palace of Compassion and Tranquility.

Four maids stood at the entrance of Palace of Compassion and Tranquility. Upon seeing Ling Yi, their faces immediately showed some panic, and they hurriedly stepped forward to pay their respects.

"This servant greets Your Majesty!"

"Hmm!" Ling Yi nodded and walked straight in, but was stopped by the four maids.

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager has just finished resting. Please wait a moment!"

"Get out!" Ling Yi shouted coldly, and with a wave of his hand, the four maids were sent flying backward, spitting blood.

The Empress Dowager's Palace of Compassion and Tranquility is now almost entirely filled with people from Shenron Island. Over the years, in order to consolidate the position of the fake Empress Dowager Long'er, they have done countless wicked things in the palace. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they are utterly wicked.

Jianning, who was standing next to her, was startled. Her brother today was completely different from usual, and she had Yinyin feeling that something was wrong.

Ling Yi's move immediately alerted Long'er.

At this moment, Long'er, still possessing the appearance of a goddess, is cultivating.

Hearing the commotion outside, Long'er frowned. She didn't understand why the Emperor would come at this time, especially since he had barged in without any prior notice.

Most importantly, the emperor actually knows martial arts, and he seems to be quite skilled at it.

"It seems this young emperor has been hiding his true intentions quite well," Long'er thought to herself.

"The Holy Maiden of the Mystic Dragon Cult, Long'er?" Ling Yi went straight to the point, playing the game of showdown.

Long'er stood up from the bed, looking at Ling Yi with icy eyes, and asked, "Your Majesty, do you know what you're saying?"

"Of course I know what I'm saying, but do you know what you're going to say next?"

What exactly are you trying to say?

"I've already said all this, and you still don't understand what I'm talking about? Let me ask you a question: Whose daughter is Princess Jianning?"
