A Cunning Pervert in the Cultivation World

Chapter 492: Chapter 492: Old Foxes (2)

Li Feng’s eyes flashed with interest as he looked at the old man.

An idea suddenly popped into his mind.

’Maybe if I want to deal with an old fox like Prime Minister Mu... having another old fox as an ally might be a good idea.’

He kept his expression calm and replied with clear probing intent.

"Indeed, the infiltration was too clean. It felt as though someone inside the palace had provided them with detailed information or even weakened the formations from within.

"Since that night, I have been investigating quietly, but the palace is filled with hidden currents... It’s not easy to find the truth alone."

At those words,

Grand Tutor Wei stroked his beard slowly, his wise eyes meeting Li Feng’s gaze.

He clearly understood the hidden meaning behind Li Feng’s words.

The old scholar smiled warmly, his tone becoming even more amiable and respectful.

"You are right, Young Master Li. The palace has become increasingly complicated in recent years. If you do not mind the company of this old bones... how about we have a small tea together after this session?"

Li Feng looked at the elderly man for a moment before giving a slight nod.

"Very well. I will accept Grand Tutor Wei’s invitation."

Grand Tutor Wei’s smile deepened, clearly pleased with the response.

He cupped his hands once more.

"Then this old man will wait for you after the session. I have prepared some fine spiritual tea in my residence. It will be a good opportunity for us to speak without prying ears."

With that, the ceremonial gong rang out across the grand hall, signaling the official beginning of the morning court session.

Many officials inwardly cursed Grand Tutor Wei for being such an opportunist and approaching Li Feng first.

Grand Tutor Wei, however, didn’t seem to care about their gazes.

He gave one final respectful bow and returned to his position.

Li Feng remained leaning against the tall pillar with his arms crossed, his mind calm but full of thoughts.

Yue Lan leaned slightly closer to Li Feng and spoke in a soft, almost inaudible voice that only he could hear.

"Li Feng, this Grand Tutor Wei... he seems too eager to approach you. It seems he has some intentions."

On his other side, Lan Suyao also moved closer.

"Mmm... I agree with Yue Lan. That old man’s eyes are sharp. He might genuinely want to ride your momentum, or he could be trying to use you to deal with Prime Minister Mu. Either way, don’t trust him too easily."

Li Feng gave a tiny nod without changing his expression.

Then he replied in an equally low voice,

"I know. I don’t mind being used as long as I reach my goals... so I just hope that this old guy is as capable as he looks."

Both women smiled faintly at his words, understanding his ruthless and pragmatic way of thinking.

Just then, a soft but clear announcement echoed through the grand hall.

"The Empress has arrived—"

All the officials immediately straighten up and bowed respectfully.

Li Feng’s eyes narrowed as he turned his gaze toward the entrance.

Accompanied by several palace maids, a graceful and dignified mature woman slowly walked into the grand hall.

It was the Regent Empress, Fen Ling.

She wore an exquisite phoenix robe that accentuated her noble aura.

Her steps were elegant and unhurried.

As she passed by, many officials lowered their heads even further, but Li Feng kept his arms crossed, staring directly at her without the slightest intention of bowing.

At that moment, the Empress’s gaze swept across the hall and paused briefly on Li Feng.

For a split second, their eyes met.

Li Feng’s calm, cold eyes suddenly narrowed as a clear and melodious female voice sounded directly in his mind through secret voice transmission.

’Young Master Li... after the morning court session ends, this Empress wishes to meet you in private. There are some matters... that I would like to explain to you personally.’

Li Feng’s expression did not change in the slightest, but his mind couldn’t help but wander.

He did not reply immediately or reject the invitation.

He simply continued staring at the Regent Empress Fen Ling as she gracefully took her seat on the high platform.

Yue Lan and Lan Suyao, who were standing close to him, noticed the subtle change in his aura and exchanged a quick glance.

Soon after, the morning court session officially began.

Meanwhile,

Inside the Divine Brick.

Purple Death could be seen meditating near a waterfall she had claimed as her personal territory.

It seem she wasn’t the only inhabitant in this strange space.

She had already encountered three other weaklings who seemed to be from a demonic sect that probably got imprisoned here as well.

After thoroughly teaching those three a lesson, especially the arrogant woman, she had forbidden them from approaching this area unless they wanted their bones broken.

Right now, she sat cross-legged on a smooth stone beside the cascading water, eyes closed in deep meditation.

The cool mist from the falls gently kissed her skin.

Her pale, flawless skin and voluptuous body were mostly revealed.

The only thing covering her seductive figure was a thin white bedsheet she had forcefully taken from Li Feng on that day.

It loosely draped over her ample breasts and smooth thighs, barely hiding her alluring curves as it fluttered lightly with the swirling pure spiritual energy around her.

Even while meditating, Purple Death’s breathtaking beauty and mature, tempting figure were impossible to ignore.

But then, her long lashes trembled slightly.

She slowly opened her eyes, revealing a pair of beautiful, deep purple irises.

And her expression suddenly changed.

She scanned her surroundings with a frown and shouted coldly into the empty space,

"Show yourself!"

Her words echoed across the serene landscape.

The thin bedsheet slipped slightly from one shoulder, revealing even more of her snow-white skin, but she didn’t care.

Her entire aura became sharp and dangerous in an instant as cold killing intent spread out from her voluptuous body.

And at that moment, a tall shadowy figure slowly revealed itself a short distance away from thin air.

Seeing the familiar figure, Purple Death’s eyes widened before she gritted her teeth.

It was Shadow.
