Novel Full “Do you think you’re still a child?” Shi almost couldn’t stand it. “Also, don’t talk like that. It’s disgusting.”
Long blinked as if he was wronged again. “Qingzhou, do you dislike me?”
Shi nodded his head. “Yes, you are right. I dislike you!”
“Qingzhou!” Long yelled and then rushed over. “How can you be like this? My heart is broken! I won’t leave you.” While speaking, he suddenly put his arms around Shi’s waist and shook Shi violently.
Shi felt helpless and laughed. “All right, stop messing around.”
Long didn’t think he was wrong and curled his lips. “I’m not messing around. I’m fighting for my human rights!”
The corners of Shi’s mouth twitched again and he became completely speechless.
Facing such an unreasonable person, Shi really didn’t know what to do!
After messing around for a while, the two of them happily returned to the palace hand in hand.
In the manor of Tianji Sect in the imperial city. Wu Xiangyuan immediately greeted Wu Ronghan when he came back.
“Father, you are back…” Wu Xiangyuan knew what Wu Ronghan had gone out for, so she was full of expectations.
Wu Ronghan smiled bitterly and patted his daughter on the shoulder. “My dear, I’ve negotiated with the imperial family. They will not target you again…
But, you must be more careful in the future. Don’t make mistakes again.”
Wu Xiangyuan lowered her head apologetically. “Father, I know. I was wrong this time.”
“Well, it’s good that you’ve known it. Be careful not to make such a big mistake again in the future.” If his daughter could be mature and stop being so headstrong, then everything would be worth it.
Wu Xiangyuan suddenly raised her head. “Father, tell me, you… Did you promise them many things?” Wu Xiangyuan’s voice was a little trembling.
Wu Ronghan felt a little relieved to see his daughter like this. He said slowly, “Xiangxiang, I can be honest with you. In fact, I did this not just because of you. It’s just an aspect. Even if you didn’t make any mistake, Tianji Sect wouldn’t be safe this time.
Tianji Sect has existed for more than one hundred years and it has attracted too much attention. The imperial family will deal with us sooner or later. This time, we can talk with them, which has provided an opportunity for our future development. It is actually good for us, so you don’t have to worry about how many things I have promised. You just need to know that the emperor and the empress are both very powerful and horrible. In the future, don’t fight against them. Don’t do anything that will harm the interests of the imperial family. That’ll be enough. Every inch of land belongs to the imperial family. Xiangxiang, you have to understand this. Traitors won’t have a good end. We’ve seen that so many people have been killed. Do you understand?”
Wu Ronghan was very serious. Wu Xiangyuan finally nodded. “Father, I understand.”
“I’m glad to hear that.” Wu Ronghan smiled. “You’ve stooped practicing the dark arts, haven’t you?”
“Yes, I have,” Wu Xiangyuan said immediately, “Father, I won’t practice them anymore.”
“Good.” Wu Ronghan nodded. “Xiangxiang, you have grown up. I believe in you. All right, I’m leaving. You can have a good rest.”
“Yes, I see.” Wu Xiangyuan nodded obediently and stopped being domineering like before.
It could be seen that what happened this time really taught her a great lesson!
The next day, Liu and Ouyang finally arrived at the imperial city.
As soon as the two of them arrived in the imperial city, they rushed to the imperial palace.
After they arrived there, Long and Shi went to Yushang Palace to meet them.
In Yushang Palace, the four people sat at the table.
Long and Shi looked at the two of them up and down.
Liu and Ouyang just looked a little tired after the long journey, and they weren’t injured at all.
Long said, “You have done a great job this time. What rewards do you want?”
Liu raised his eyebrows. “Since when did you become so kind?”
“Yes, it’s unexpected,” Ouyang said.
They knew that Long had been enjoying exploiting them! So they couldn’t get used to it when Long suddenly became so kind!
“You…” Long stared at them. “Humph! Don’t tell me you don’t want any rewards. Let me tell you, I seldom give rewards. If you miss it this time, you won’t have another chance!”
Liu rolled his eyes. “I knew you were not so kind.”
“There won’t be another chance?” Ouyang also rolled his eyes. “I guess you are just waiting for us to refuse, right?”
“Well… you know me so well. I really didn’t prepare anything good. Really!” Long blinked and said shamelessly.
Liu and Ouyang got so angry. They really shouldn’t have any hope for this emperor!
They thought they were just like fools at this moment!
It seemed that Shi had gotten used to Long’s tricks and he didn’t care much about that.
Therefore, Shi said, “We already know Mr. Chen’s whereabouts. We didn’t act because the place where he’s hiding is complicated. It’ll be very convenient for him to escape. Moreover, if he sprinkles some poisonous powder on the people, the consequences would be disastrous. So we’ve been waiting for you to come back to see if there is any good way.”
Hearing Shi’s words, Liu and Ouyang became serious at once.
“What do you think?” Liu asked.
Shi said calmly, “We can use poison or knockout drops, or we can draw him out.”
There were just several methods, but each method was not that simple.
Mr. Chen was also an expert at poison, so if their poison wasn’t special enough, it would be useless.
If that person couldn’t be killed with a single blow, it would cause great trouble!
The imperial city was where the imperial court lay and its dignity must be preserved. If something like the plague in Quanzhou happened here, the consequences would be many times more severe than that!
The imperial court was finally purified to this point. If many ministers were killed or injured, the foundation of the nation would be ruined. At least, the nation wouldn’t develop very well for a long time.
“If we use poison… maybe there is a way, but I need some time.”
Shi’s and Long’s eyes brightened at the same time. “Oh? How long will you take?”
Liu said after some hesitation, “Three days or so.”
Long took a deep breath. “Okay, three days then!”
