Ling Yi knew that by going there, he would be drawn into the drama of the princes vying for the throne.
Although Ling Yi felt somewhat apprehensive, he was mostly excited.
Ling Yi was a complete scoundrel in his previous life.
He has a rebellious and adventurous spirit at his core, his personality leans towards ruthlessness and cunning, and he is also an ambitious person.
He was nicknamed "Madman".
In everyone's eyes, Ling Yi was a Madman who fought recklessly.
Yet, in less than a year, he became the gang leader.
Ling Yi has used plenty of underhanded and overt schemes.
Now that I've been transported to this fictional world set against the backdrop of an ancient dynasty...
How could Ling Yi not have some thoughts in his mind?
If possible, he would also like to sit on the dragon throne and experience it.
The reason Ling Yi Ling Yi acted rather cautiously over the past six months is simply because he doesn't yet understand this world.
With Qin Changming's token, Ling Yi was able to leave the Bureau of Entertainment without any hindrance.
Everyone who saw the token showed great respect.
This token is probably not ordinary.
But similarly, this token could also be a death warrant for Ling Yi.
Qin Changming sending Ling Yi to deliver such an important letter indicates that Qin Changming has no one he can trust within the Bureau of Entertainment).
In other words, Qin Changming's influence within the Bureau of Entertainment) was very weak.
Then I thought of the former courtesan Qianxue, and the Third Princess Wu Yunxiao.
Clearly, Wu Yunxiao is the one who truly controls the Bureau of Entertainment ).
Qin Changming instructed him to take action against Qianxue and replace the courtesan.
It's probably also because they want to compete with Wu Yunxiao for control of the Bureau of Entertainment- run entertainment institution).
It appears to have failed.
Under the surveillance of Ling Yi 'Shadow Puppet, after Lü Yuan became the new courtesan, the first person to approach her was Wu Yunxiao.
Afterwards, Qin Changming personally met with Lü Yuan.
They wanted to win over Lü Yuan.
However, the benefits offered are vastly different.
Wu Yunxiao used top-tier martial arts techniques and helped Lü Yuan remove the Martial Dao seal.
Qin Changming, on the other hand, only made some verbal promises and painted a bunch of empty promises.
Lü Yuan Duck naturally leans towards Wu Yunxiao's side.
Qin Changming's methods also reflect that this second prince is probably a bit petty and won't amount to much.
Of course, we'll have to wait until we meet to find out the specifics.
The power represented by the token Qin Changming gave him is probably not simple.
The fact that Ling Yi held this token meant that he had already been branded with the mark of the Second Prince's side.
It will inevitably attract the attention of those with ulterior motives.
After leaving the Bureau of Entertainment, Ling Yi did not immediately go to the Full Fragrance House.
Because he had already Perception several Aura locking onto him.
Moreover, two of the Aura emanated from them, giving Ling Yi an extremely dangerous feeling.
As Ling Yi had predicted, he was indeed being targeted.
Ling Yi's fingers were still tracing patterns in front of his eyes.
The next moment, a new entry appeared above everyone's head.
After scanning his surroundings, Ling Yi quickly spotted several unusual terms in the crowd.
[ You Heng, Second Pin Martial Practitioner, Talent: None!]
[ Bai Cangyu, First Pin Martial Practitioner, Talent: Keen Sense of Smell (can Copy for 10 taels of silver)!]
[ Li Hai, Eighth Pin Innate, Talent: None!]
[ Li Yun, Seventh Pin Innate, Talent: None!]
These people all came from the Bureau of Entertainment- run entertainment district).
Ling Yi strolled around the capital city without making a sound, first going to have breakfast.
I went to a clothing store again and bought a new outfit.
Dressed in a white silk robe, he transformed from a servant into a refined scholar.
After that, they strolled around the city, seemingly enjoying themselves.
Ling Yi didn't arrive at Full Fragrance House until lunchtime.
Ling Yi did not immediately go to the shopkeeper to exchange the secret code.
Instead, they ordered their food and ate like any other diner.
At the same time, at the back door of Full Fragrance House, a dark figure emerged from the shadows under a tree opposite the back door.
But it disappeared again just moments later.
Full Fragrance House has two floors in total.
The first floor is the main hall, where ordinary diners can eat.
The second floor consists of private rooms, a total of six rooms, Number One from A1 to Number Six.
However, Full Fragrance House doesn't have many customers.
There were only a handful of diners on the first floor.
Of the six private rooms on the second floor, only room Number Six was occupied.
But they weren't diners either.
Instead, it was a woman covered in wounds, her face veiled, locked in a cage.
This cage was specially made.
The cage was full of barbs pointing inwards, all aimed at vital organs such as the heart and throat.
If this woman makes the slightest move, the consequences are predictable.
The doors and windows of the room were locked, and a black curtain covered the entrance.
Even though it's daytime now, it still feels somewhat dim.
A dark figure emerged from the corner of the room.
It was Ling Yi's Shadow Puppet.
Ling Yi is about to make contact with the Second Prince, the true figure at the center of imperial power.
Naturally, the Shadow Puppet was sent to Probe.
The second prince was nowhere to be found, but here, Ling Yi discovered someone who surprised him greatly.
[ Zhao Dongxue, Rank Third Pin Martial Practitioner (Sealed), Talent: Power of Shadow (Can be upgraded by consuming 2000 taels of silver)]
Zhao Dongxue, also known as Qianxue, the former courtesan.
Ling Yi never expected that Qianxue would appear here.
Shouldn't Qianxue have already fled the capital by now?
How did they get arrested, and injured so badly?
Logically speaking, given Qianxue's abilities, she shouldn't have been caught.
The Power of Shadow allows Invisibility and move freely within it—how could they still be caught?
Ling Yi was puzzled.
But as puzzling as it may be, since I've encountered this, I might as well upgrade my Power of Shadow.
Power of Shadow Lv2!
Their capabilities have been greatly enhanced.
First, the number of Shadow Puppet increased from two to four.
Secondly, the power of Power of Shadow is no longer limited to the shadows.
If the previous Power of Shadow required the use of Shadow to cast, then the level 2 Power of Shadow can create Shadow areas on its own.
This will greatly reduce the limitations of Shadow Puppet.
It will become more free and unpredictable.
Finally, the Shadow Puppet's range of movement has been greatly enhanced.
Previously, Shadow Puppet could only move within a kilometer radius.
Now the activity range has reached a radius of five kilometers.
This will greatly increase Ling Yi's ability to cause trouble.
The Shadow Puppet's body became noticeably more solid after the upgrade.
The previous Shadow Puppet was just a blurry figure, but now it has a clear outline.
"What should we do with Qianxue?"
Ling Yi, downstairs, stroked his chin and murmured.
To put it bluntly, it's a question of whether or not to save Qianxue.
After hesitating for a moment, Ling Yi decided to save him.
On one hand, Qianxue's abilities are extremely useful to Ling Yi; if the Power of Shadow is to continue to upgrade, Qianxue cannot die.
On the other hand, Ling Yi was very eager to know how Qianxue had been captured.
This is very important.
Ling Yi was worried that someone might be able to restrain Qianxue's Power of Shadow.
This person must be found.
The Shadow Puppet walked up to the cage.
He waved his arm at Qianxue, and the next moment, Qianxue's figure disappeared.
But the cage remained in place.
As for Qianxue, she has already been taken into the Hidden Asgard.
After Qianxue was taken away, the Shadow Puppet sank into the ground and disappeared.
Ling Yi, who was on the first floor, had also finished his meal.
After placing a silver ingot on the table, he walked straight toward the counter.
