"What time is it?"
When A Li got up, she was a little dazed looking at the darkening sky outside. She wasn't pregnant; why was she so sleepy?
"You slept so soundly," Ziyue said, sitting beside A Li, somewhat speechless at his bewildered expression.
However, a sense of vigilance also arose in her heart. A Li was very talented, but her weaknesses were also obvious. Her martial arts skills were too weak, and she was very easy to be ambushed. In the previous dynasty, before A Li possessed the body, that fox had already reached the level of a noble concubine in the imperial palace. She was only one step away from devouring the national fortune and entering the Transcendent. Nothing in the world was immune to her charms, but she died at the hands of a concubine who was filled with jealousy and hatred. Moreover, she was taken down with just a cup of poisoned wine.
This shows how vulnerable she is. If someone knew A Li's whereabouts and sent a skilled assassin, given this little fox's lack of vigilance, she would probably die every time the assassin came!
"But what happened?" A Li rubbed her eyes and asked curiously.
Ziyue glanced outside the door. "Someone came by just now; they must have drugged you with something."
"Huh?" A Li was taken aback. "Is the Murong Family this dangerous too?"
"Who told you this place is safe?" Ziyue was speechless. Although this was the Murong Family, the situation here was incredibly complicated.
The Murong Family brothers each had their own agendas. The Laoda had long since joined a certain faction, while his brothers, though seemingly wanting to join Jiangnan, possessed martial arts techniques from other factions, making it difficult to say which side they were truly on.
Although Murong Yunji has now won over Chen Qing's heart, she still harbors a trace of resentment towards herself, especially towards A Li!
It's amazing that this dead fox can sleep so soundly in this situation.
"That person didn't do anything to me, did they?" A Li asked, hugging herself.
Ziyue pouted. "Do you care that much?"
"Of course, I'm a respectable person now."
Ziyue: "."
"Alright." A Li came up and pulled Ziyue: "Tell me, what exactly happened?"
Do you still remember the King of Qin?
A Li's body stiffened instantly. Even though she had been reincarnated after her death and lost many memories, she still retained many memories of the King of Qin. Otherwise, she wouldn't have agreed to sneak into the imperial city as soon as Mr. Origami found her!
"Is that guy here?"
"Um"
What is he doing here?
"He probably wants our help to seize a portion of the passage in the north." Ziyue gazed outside with a melancholy expression. "The Arctic is about to thaw, and the second version is about to arrive in full force. Those frozen demons in the north are the best resource. No one will give up this place if they want to gain a foothold, including him, the King of Qin!"
"Really?" A Li was silent for a moment. "You agreed to be with him?"
Ziyue shook her head.
"So he can leave so easily?" A Li was taken aback.
What do you think of Chen Qing?
"So far, it's alright, I guess." A Li lowered her head, recalling the words Chen Qing had spoken to her when they were in the capital.
Since you've already made a mistake, why not face it? Cui Yan still has a chance to reunite, so why not try to confront him directly?
"If... I mean if," Ziyue looked at Chen Qing seriously, "If Chen Qing weren't Pu Yunchuan, would you still continue to help him?"
A Li was taken aback. "No, not really? Do you have some new information?"
Answer my question first.
A Li was silent for a moment, but finally shook her head. "I don't know."
"Have no idea?"
"I think," A Li recalled Chen Qing's words from that day, "That he is Pu Yunchuan!"
Ziyue stared blankly at A Li.
Why are you looking at me like that?
"It's nothing." Ziyue shook her head. "I understand what you mean. Now there's something I need you to do."
"What's up?"
"Infiltrate the palace and wait for the right opportunity!"
"Uh..." A Li was taken aback. "No way! Didn't you say that those player forces had already infiltrated the palace?"
"A message has arrived from the Heavenly Secrets." Ziyue looked at the sender. " Cui Yan... has been found!"
A Li: "!!!"

"What brings you here in the middle of the night, my lord?"
After entering the academy, Shen Qi looked at Wei Gongcheng, who was already waiting for him, with a puzzled expression.
"It's probably not a good thing," Wei Gongcheng as he poured tea for the other person.
I remember last time, Chen Qing met with him twice before leaving. Now that he's so busy with work, the fact that he specifically asked me and Shen Qi to meet him means he's probably going to entrust Liuzhou with something again. The key question is, is the master going out again at this time?
Furthermore, he knew that his lord Divine Descent Technique and would normally return on his own, unless he needed to leave his territory. Now that the southeast had just been ravaged, where was his lord going? Could it be the north?
Wei Gongcheng couldn't understand it, and Shen Qi was also somewhat puzzled. A wise man doesn't stand under a dangerous wall, but his lord was an exception. He always rushed to the front in any important matter. What kind of general leads the vanguard?
"I heard some new people have arrived at the Underworld in Liuzhou?" Shen Qi asked curiously.
Wei Gongcheng nodded slightly. "Yes, some newcomers. I don't even know where they came from."
He didn't really know how to explain it, but that night, he clearly felt that the entire Underworld was sending him some kind of alarm, a feeling of impending doom, which led him to come to the scene immediately.
The Lord arrived before him, as if he had been waiting for something, and then a strange scene unfolded.
Suddenly, the entire world split open before him, and in the next instant, so many new spirits appeared.
Those spirits were definitely not from the Great Jin.
No. It should be said that it might not even belong to this world.
When the world shattered before him, he seemed to see something, yet also seemed to see nothing at all. For some reason, a panic he had never felt before surged within him at that moment!
The terrifying sight vanished quickly, so naturally that he almost wondered if he had imagined it.
But the real existence of those spirits made him realize that he hadn't misread it; these things were indeed stuffed in from the outside. As for what was outside, he didn't even dare to think about it!
What chilled him even more was that the Lord recognized those spirits, and upon seeing the Lord, they all sided with him. At that moment, he suddenly understood something.
Those things came from another place, and so did our Lord!
"That's strange," Shen Laoqi said, looking at Wei Gongcheng in surprise. "You don't know where they came from? Shouldn't you know about things that didn't happen in the Underworld?"
"The world is vast and full of wonders; nothing is absolute," Wei Gongcheng, trying to remain calm as he picked up his teacup and took a sip.
Shen Laoqi stared at the other person quietly for a while, his gaze becoming unreadable. "Your hand is shaking."
Wei Gongcheng was taken aback, glanced at the teacup in his hand, and then put it down.
Are you scared?
Wei Gongcheng silent. At this moment, he knew he couldn't hide anything from the person in front of him. Every member of the Shen Family was a meticulous person, especially this Seventh Master Shen, who was extremely adept at reading people.
"A little bit."
"What are you afraid of?" Seventh Master Shen frowned. "Afraid of those new spirits? Did the Master say anything about it?"
Wei Gongcheng looked up. "The Lord said that we don't need to worry about them; just let them enter reincarnation normally."
Shen Qi frowned. "Then what are you afraid of? Do you think there's something wrong with those spirits?"
He paused here. Wei Gongcheng was not a coward; on the contrary, he was the most composed person he had ever met. His style of doing things was even more composed than that of the Laoba at home. When Ziyue rebelled, he didn't panic in that situation. Why would he lose his composure over a group of problematic spirits?
He had never seen Wei Gongcheng like this before, and he couldn't even imagine what could have frightened the man in front of him.
etc!
Suddenly, Seventh Master Shen realized what was happening, his whole body trembled, and he stared intently at the other person!
It's not that those spirits are the problem. No, those spirits are the problem, but Wei Gongcheng is definitely not afraid because of that.
The problem is...
What are you talking about?
Suddenly, the person I was thinking of appeared behind me.
