Second Master, Jin Wufeng, the second prince of the Great Jin Nation, is the one with the highest prestige and best reputation among the three princes.
This is someone who is extremely adept at managing their reputation.
From the time he was old enough to understand things until now, he has been cultivating his reputation and network of contacts.
He was also the one with the highest chance of inheriting the throne in the Great Jin Nation, and the one who was most patient and Proficiency in scheming.
As for the eldest prince, Jin Wunian, he was indeed just an ignorant and unambitious good-for-nothing.
The reason he was able to gain the support of the Sword Immortal Pang Yun was because of personal connections.
Jin Wunian's birth mother, who is now the Empress Dowager Nalan Ping, saved Pang Yun's daughter Pang Xiaoyun's life when she was young.
It was Nalan Ping who sought out Pang Yun, Pang Yun, in order to repay this favor, emerged into the world and forcibly reversed the situation.
This was information that Jin Wufeng only discovered Later.
But this favor has now been Jin Wunian, and Pang Yun probably won't care what happens to Jin Wunian in the future.
Although Pang Yun's appearance disrupted Jin Wufeng's plans, he believed Shadowless on the overall situation.
His power remains intact, his network and relationships are still solid, and his reputation among the people remains the highest.
Can Jin Wunian manage the Great Jin Nation well? Ridiculous.
The day I return to the capital will be the day I ascend to the throne.
Pang Yun, on the other hand, might have a chance to be won over to his side.
Pang Xiaoyun is a breakthrough point.
Although Pang Xiaoyun was saved by Nalan Ping, she still died twelve years ago.
But she wasn't killed by anyone; she died for her husband, Ao Ba.
Sword Immortal Pang Yun was also heartbroken because of his daughter's death. After avenging his daughter and son-in-law, he chose to live in seclusion.
Even today, stories about Pang Xiaoyun still circulate in the Jianghu; she was an extraordinary woman who was devoted to love.
Although Pang Xiaoyun is dead, according to the information Jin Wufeng found out, Pang Xiaoyun left behind a child.
Even Pang Yun was unaware of this matter.
If we can find this child and use certain methods to bring Pang Yun to our side, it won't be difficult.
Now, there are some clues about the child's whereabouts.
Qi Feng did not return all night, Jin Wufeng sleep all night.
It's clear that something happened to Qi Feng.
Qi Feng was Jin Wufeng's most prominent Battle Power, and Qi Feng death would have a significant impact on Jin Wufeng.
Since her second master wasn't sleeping, Ni Yunrui naturally wouldn't go to sleep either.
"Second Master!" Ni Yunrui called out with heartache as she looked at the Second Master's furrowed brows.
"You go and rest first, I'm going out for a bit." Jin Wufeng stood up, turned around and walked out of the courtyard.
Half a day later, Jin Wufeng appeared with three people in the forest where Ling Yi and Qi Feng had fought before.
These three were one of Jin Wufeng's trump cards.
Yinmao, Yinhu, and Yin Lang are triplets, siblings with Yinmao as the eldest sister, and Yinhu and Yin Lang as the second and third brothers.
All three were internal energy masters at the Middle Middle Xiantian.
Most importantly, all three siblings grasped the concept of momentum.
Furthermore, because the three siblings are of Telepathic Connection and work together, combining their understanding of the power, they can defeat those at the Upper Innate Second Layer.
Jin Wufeng held a half-broken jade pendant in his hand, his face extremely gloomy.
"What terrifying power! This destructive force could probably only be achieved by a powerhouse at the Upper Late Innate or higher," Yin Lang said, frowning.
"Not necessarily. There's no residual Internal Energy; this is momentum. Moreover, the opponent has at least comprehended momentum of the Third Pin or higher. When did such a terrifying genius appear in the Jianghu?" Yinmao shook his head and said.
"It is indeed a matter of power, Second Master..." Yinhu's slender eyes looked at Jin Wufeng.
Jin Wufeng did not answer immediately. After pondering for a while, he asked in return, "Is there any news about that child?"
" Fengyun City!" Yinmao said succinctly.
" Yin Lang, stay here Yinmao and Yinhu, go to Fengyun City and bring the child back. Remember, don't use force."
After a pause, Jin Wufeng added, "By the way, find a Blind Man named Ling Yi. Once you find him, don't alert him; just find out his whereabouts."
"Second Master, could this Ling Yi be the one who harmed Elder Qi?"
"Uncertain, but it's definitely related to him." Jin Wufeng shook his head.
He still Dharma Manifestation that a young man in his early twenties could comprehend such a terrifying force.
If it really was this Blind Man who did it, since we've already offended him, we absolutely cannot let him live.
This is no longer a question of whether someone is a genius or not; this level of comprehension is comparable to that of a prodigy!
Go!
"Yes, Second Master!" Yinmao and Yinhu bowed and nodded, then turned into two afterimages and disappeared.
"What's the situation in the capital?" Jin Wufeng asked Yin Lang.
"As Second Master predicted, Pang Yun has already left the capital and returned to Longhai."
Jin Wufeng sneered, tossed a token to Yin Lang, and said, "Take this token and inform the Ninth Prince that we can proceed to the next step. Once he sees the token, he'll know what to do."
"Yes!" Yin Lang nodded.
He paused, then added, "Second Master, I'm leaving. Your safety..."
" Yunrui's Yin Sunflower Art is about to Perfection!" Jin Wufeng said in a deep voice.
"I see!" Yin Lang was shocked and immediately understood Jin Wufeng's meaning. He bowed and then disappeared using his Qinggong.
At this moment, Ling Yi had already arrived in Fengyun City.
Fengyun City is located next to Ten-Mile Slope of Wei Ridge. After passing Ten-Mile Slope, you will reach Fengyun City.
Ten-Mile Slope is the narrowest point in the entire Wei Ridge, with a width of only ten li (approximately 5 kilometers). The name Ten-Mile Slope comes from this.
Compared to Panshi Town, Fengyun City is much larger.
The city wall is a hundred feet high, and it is entirely built of bluestone, making it thick and sturdy.
On the city walls, soldiers clad in black armor patrolled back and forth.
Hundreds of soldiers guarded both sides of the city gate, carefully checking and registering all passersby.
As Ling Yi Blind Man, he wasn't given much trouble; they simply asked him to remove his Ling Yi for a quick look before letting him pass.
Even though Ling Yi looks different from other Blind Man, what can a Blind Man do in the eyes of ordinary people?
Unlike the scattered and disorganized nature of Panshi Town, Fengyun City has a clear regional plan.
Where are the residential areas, where are the markets, where are the shops, inns, and restaurants?
Everything was planned clearly and thoroughly.
Ling Yi's visit to Fengyun City is only a temporary stop; he has no specific purpose in mind. As for whether he will stay for a long time, we'll have to wait and see.
However, it now seems that Fengyun City is not a good place to live for long.
The somber atmosphere here is just too intense.
Compared to Fengyun City, Panshi Town, with its Jiangnan water town setting, is actually more suitable for long-term residence!
Just then, a young man hesitated for a moment before walking towards Ling Yi.
"Greetings, young master..."
Ling Yi "looked" at him, and before the other could continue, said, "Let's go, take me to see it. If I'm satisfied, money is no problem."
Ling Yi's words startled the boy, who carefully examined the blindfold covering Ling Yi's eyes, his eyes filled with curiosity.
"No need to look anymore, I really am Blind Man!"
Ten minutes later, the boy led Ling Yi to a small courtyard.
Compared to Ling Yi's small courtyard in Panshi Town, this courtyard is much larger, with a shallow well, a vegetable garden, and a row of fruit trees.
The houses are old and have been damaged in many places, but they have been carefully repaired.
Both the yard and the house were kept in perfect order, and even though the house was old, it still made people feel very comfortable.
"Young master, although my home is a bit old and dilapidated, it is quiet. I think you are someone who doesn't like to be disturbed. If you stay at an inn, the constant comings and goings and noise will surely bother you."
"Only one or two taels of silver a month, you won't find another place cheaper than this in the entire Fengyun City."
"Can you cook?" Ling Yi asked.
"Yes!" the boy affirmed.
Ling Yi tossed the boy a few pieces of silver and said, "Go buy a fresh set of bedding and some ingredients. If your cooking skills are decent, I'll give you an extra tael each month."
"Don't worry, young master, I can't guarantee anything else, but I'll make sure you're satisfied with my cooking." The young man was very excited.
"Hehe, we'll have to wait and see!"
As Ling Yi spoke, he walked into the main room, looked it over carefully, and nodded in satisfaction.
In Panshi Town, most people live in wooden beds.
But here, it's a traditional earthen bed.
Although the straight-line distance between Panshi Town and Fengyun City is less than Wu Bai kilometers, the climate is completely different due to the presence of Wei Ridge.
South of Wei Ridge, the temperature is lower, especially in winter. The north and south of South of the Ridge are like two completely different seasons.
"Interesting!" A strange smile appeared on Ling Yi's face as he watched the boy run out of the courtyard.
"This Ao Potian is very much Protagonist!"
Ling Yi tapped the "[ Click to View ]" button on the boy's Bullet-Comment Data, and instantly, the boy's past was displayed before Ling Yi.
Ao Potian is 13 years old this year and was raised by an old chef from a restaurant.
Three years ago, the old cook accidentally fell into the water and died, and he then inherited the old cook's small courtyard.
But none of that matters. What matters is Ao Potian's identity and background.
Father: Ao Ba; Mother: Pang Xiaoyun.
Ling Yi didn't know who Ao Ba was, but he did know who Pang Xiaoyun Ling Yi.
The daughter of the Sword Immortal Pang Yun.
However, Ao Potian is currently unaware of his true identity, and only two people know about it: the old cook and himself.
One of them was the midwife who delivered the baby. The old cook is dead, and now only that midwife remains.
However, this Bullet-Comment Data only provides a brief overview of past information, without any details.
Even so, this was enough for Ling Yi.
Ling Yi knew about Pang Yun and Pang Xiaoyun from Jin Wufeng's Bullet-Comment Data.
This is what makes the Bullet-Comment Data so incredible.
If Ling Yi wanted to, he could easily make a fortune as a fortune teller now.
It must be said that Ao Potian's cooking skills are indeed quite good; he has truly inherited the old chef's skills.
She is at least much better than Ni Yunrui.
This pleased Ling Yi greatly.
Thinking of Ni Yunrui, Ling Yi couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.
This naive Sha Gu held her second master in the highest esteem, and even harbored feelings of love for him.
If they knew the truth, they would be filled with unimaginable despair.
"There are still two weeks left. Let's try to save her then; it'll be a kind of 'we met' situation."
It wasn't that Ling Yi didn't want to tell Ni Yunrui the truth, but even if he did, given Ni Yunrui's loyalty to the Second Master, she probably wouldn't believe Ling Yi.
As the sun set, Ling Yi sat quietly on a recliner, watching the boy in the courtyard continuously wielding a wooden sword.
There was no method whatsoever; it was just simple slashing.
Clearly, Ao Potian has not learned any martial arts techniques yet.
To Ling Yi's surprise, although Ao Potian had not learned any martial arts techniques, every time he swung his sword, it had a certain imposing presence.
If he could grasp the essence of a single move, he could become Little Gao instantly without learning any other techniques.
" The Protagonist?" Ling Yi's interest was piqued!
