Chapter 1924: Chapter 1924 Mission Complete
The Palace Master and other alchemists also came to visit Ye Liuyun, expressing their resentment.
"It’s outrageous, how dare they blatantly murder an alchemist!"
After Lin Xiyao fed Ye Liuyun the elixir, and the other alchemists all left, only then he started healing his wounds.
"Don’t worry, I’m fine!"
"This elixir finally did not go to waste, it did get put to use for you!" Lin Xiyao remarked with a sigh.
The injuries on Ye Liuyun’s body had practically recovered even before the the medicine had a chance to take effect.
"Huh? Your wound..."
"Oh, I had already taken a healing elixir before!" Ye Liuyun casually lied.
"Ah!" Lin Xiyao then nodded in understanding.
Then she asked Ye Liuyun, "Who did you offend? Why would there be someone who wants to kill you?"
She also noticed that those people that really wanted to kill Ye Liuyun, weren’t too interested in her.
Ye Liuyun, pretending to ponder and shook his head, "In this regalty, apart from you, I have just met everyone else today, how could I have made any enemies. But I guess those who want to kill me will soon come to find out about my condition, to see how bad my injuries are. We will see who it is by then!"
Lin Xiyao also thought this made sense. "Shall I get the Palace Master to arrange for someone to guard this place?"
"No, please, no!" Ye Liuyun quickly stopped her.
"Why?"
Ye Liuyun had no choice but to explain to her, "Didn’t you see all those people were masked? It means whoever wants to kill me doesn’t want to do it openly. So, he definitely won’t make a move here. Probably just come to have a look, you don’t need to be nervous.
What if we make the security so tight that he doesn’t dare to come, then we can’t find him, right? I can’t just stay inside all the time, can I?"
"Oh, I see! Well then, I’ll stay here with you!" Lin Xiyao finally settled back down.
"It’s okay, no need to be nervous. My wounds are healed now, and I’ll grill some meat for you. Bring out the wine, we can eat and wait." Ye Liuyun said and took Lin Xiyao back into the yard to grill the meat.
"You’re really something, being able to eat at a time like this!" Lin Xiyao was still critical of Ye Liuyun’s nonchalance.
"How else? Just waiting here anxiously is more likely to give us away. It’s best if we act as naturally as possible." Ye Liuyun laughed.
Lin Xiyao nodded her agreement, she did indeed need to relax her tense nerves.
After eating and drinking with Ye Liuyun for a while, she did finally relax.
"Xiyao!"
Then, suddenly, the voice of Mu Lianqing was heard.
"I heard you got into trouble, so I came right over to check on you!" Mu Lianqing ran over calling out as if genuinely concerned.
"Who told you?" Lin Xiyao immediately suspected, the one who plotted to kill Ye Liuyun might be Mu Lianqing.
"I have many friends in the Alliance! Huh? Mr. Ye is here too? I heard you were injured too? How are you still eating so fine?" Mu Lianqing moved his gaze towards Ye Liuyun, took a quick look, before asking again.
"Who is this friend of yours?"
Ye Liuyun quickly whispered to Lin Xiyao, "Don’t let on that we know. You open the door for him, and I’ll deal with him! Don’t worry, he won’t dare to act here."
Mu Lianqing was also feeling a bit troubled, wondering whose name would be better to say. Ye Liuyun took the initiative to bail him out, "Miss Lin, Mr. Mu is here out of kindness to see you, please don’t make him stand outside and talk. Invite him in for a snack!"
Acknowledging Ye Liuyun’s message, Lin Xiyao no longer pressed for answers and opened the door and let Mu Lianqing in.
But she was afraid that she couldn’t help herself to stop pressing Mu Lianqing for answers, so she blurtedly tossed a sentence, turned around and went back to the room.
"You guys eat, I’m not hungry anymore, I’ve lost my appetite!"
Ye Liuyun continued to play peacekeeper, "Perhaps Miss Lin had gotten a little bit of a shock. Unlike me, nothing but a cheap life, I don’t care about anything!"
Mu Lianqing wanted to test the weight of Ye Liuyun’s words, and more so to make sure nothing would happen between him and Lin Xiyao, hence he promptly engaged in conversation with Ye Liuyun.
"What happened?" He asked, pretending not to know.
Ye Liuyun described the event once again. He emphasized that the Defensive Artifact had saved his life.
Then, he took it down and flashed it in front of Mu Lianqing.
"The thing you’re wearing around your neck, it’s a higher grade of this, isn’t it? Tsk, who would dare to attack a prince like you? Wearing this thing is a pure waste!"
As he spoke, he cast a seemingly covetous glance at Mu Lianqing’s treasure.
"It’s an eighth-rank!" There’s no way Mu Lianqing wouldn’t understand the implications behind Ye Liuyun’s gaze.
Immediately, he took it down from his neck, "Since this thing is so important to you, I’ll give this higher-grade one to you! You saved Xiyao tonight, I should thank you for that!"
As he spoke, he also withdrew his Divine Sense from the treasure and generously handed it over to Ye Liuyun.
In his mind, he was plotting that he would let Ye Liuyun have it for a couple of days, then ask him out to kill him. It will still be in his hands by then.
"Oh, how could I?" Ye Liuyun said as he took it from Mu Lianqing’s hand.
"No need to be shy, we’re all friends here," Mu Lianqing replied, scoffing inwardly at his lack of experience.
"Then I’ll give it a try!" Ye Liuyun said, as he connected his Divine Sense to it and wore it around his neck.
Then he gave Mu Lianqing a smile. Two Divine Senses surged straight into Mu Lianqing’s Ocean of Consciousness.
Only then did Mu Lianqing realise he had been tricked. He acted calm, “What are you up to, Mr. Ye?”
Ye Liuyun didn’t care and proceeded to search for Mu Lianqing’s soul directly and imprinting a Slaving Seal.
"Good! Everything went according to plan, very smoothly. It wasn’t in vain that I suffered," Ye Liuyun finally heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.
Mu Lianqing was very resentful. It was usually him tricking others, he couldn’t believe he was outsmarted by Ye Liuyun because of a moment of carelessness.
As the Slaving Seal casted, he didn’t have the mind to resist. He could only obey Ye Liuyun completely.
"So it’s true. The Emperor could monitor the whole city but not here. Good thing I took precautions," Ye Liuyun first searched for this piece of information.
"Lin Luoyi is really behind all these! Lin Luoyi, oh Lin Luoyi, I wasn’t going to deal with you anymore, but you just wouldn’t let things go!"
Shortly after, as he discovered Lin Luoyi also wanted to kill him, he immediately wanted to get rid of her too.
Lin Luoyi was indeed a seventh-tier Alchemist, but her real realm was only in the mid-stage of the sixth-tier. Even if the divine soul of an alchemist is strong, it should not be much different from that of Ye Liuyun’s. He certainly had a chance of success.
As for the other pieces of information, they were just as he had expected. The Emperor never had the demoness, but according to the news the Emperor received, she was indeed kidnapped by a human martial practitioner.
