He quietly started practicing the Turtle Breath Technique, a second-grade spiritual skill he had acquired by chance, which was used to restrain his own aura.
Although it is a bit useless at ordinary times, it can help Kru a lot at this moment.
Crawling on the roof, Kru did not dare to be careless at all. Now he was about to jump onto the roof of the brightly lit house.
But the problem is that there are two roofs in between, which undoubtedly increases the probability of exposure.
"No matter what, we have to get some useful information tonight."
After climbing to the edge of the roof, Kru looked at the guard outside the yard with his back to him, gritted his teeth, slowly squatted up, and jumped to another roof next to it.
After landing, without making any sound, Kru immediately jumped again. After two consecutive jumps, Kru arrived at his destination.
After reaching the target roof, Kru immediately lay down, holding his breath and concentrating, not even daring to raise his head, for fear of being discovered.
Fortunately, there was no movement for a full quarter of an hour.
"Damn, I'm scared to death. I wonder if this room down there belongs to the city lord, His Highness, or even the princess?"
Thinking of this, Kru felt warm in his heart. He had heard that the princess was extremely beautiful, but he had never seen her. If...
Biting the tip of his tongue, Kru cast aside all distracting thoughts. Any distraction could cost him his life in this city lord's mansion.
With his ear pressed against the tiles, Kru faintly heard some sounds.
With extremely light movements, he lifted the tile, revealing a tiny gap. Kru looked down and saw the two men talking.
"Uncle Xing, is this really a good idea? I'm fine with you by my side, but what about Yaoyao? Won't this put her in danger?"
Shui Ningye looked at Ming Xing, his face full of worry.
"Your Highness, the reason why City Lord Lin made such a big move this time is simply to spread the news that you and the princess are in the Beast Taming City, so that those people will think that there is an opportunity to take advantage of, so as to lure the snake out of its hole!" Ming Xing sighed and said.
"But you can't use Yaoyao as bait!"
"Your Highness!" Ming Xing shouted softly.
"Your Highness, you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child! This is the Lin family's best opportunity. If they really take action, it will prove their intention to rebel. You must know that the Lin family is already a major threat to Your Majesty!"
"But Yaoyao is innocent! The emperor dotes on Yaoyao the most. If he knew that I used Yaoyao as bait, even if we have evidence of the Lin family's rebellion, I would still be doomed."
Shui Ningye's face looked ugly, with sorrow between his brows.
"Alas, the Lin family has become increasingly powerful over the years. That old man Lin Tianpo has broken through to the Spirit Master realm and become a Spirit King. His strength is comparable to your grandfather's."
Ming Xing turned around and continued, "The Lin family has guarded the borders for three generations and is considered a family of loyal subjects in the eyes of the people of the imperial capital. If Your Majesty rashly touches the Lin family, it will inevitably cause an uproar. Now is a good opportunity to eliminate the Lin family!"
"But……"
"Don't say buts anymore, Your Highness! Don't you understand the reason why His Majesty has been delaying in appointing a crown prince?" Ming Xing asked.
"I know, how could I not know? Throughout history, the legitimate son has always been made the crown prince. Father hasn't been doing this yet, isn't it because of the second son?" Shui Ningye showed a bitter smile.
"Humph! So Your Highness knows. The Second Prince is a prodigy born with extraordinary talent. At a young age, he was accepted as a disciple by the Central Territory's overlord, the Holy Sect. It is said that he broke through to the level of Spiritual Master after only six months in the Holy Sect. How can you compete with him, Your Highness?"
"A sixteen-year-old spiritual master? I'm afraid even Lin Jian of the Lin family can't compare to him."
The bitterness on Shui Ningye's face became even stronger. It was his fault that he didn't have that kind of talent.
"Therefore, this is your Highness's best opportunity. Once I obtain evidence of the Lin family's rebellion, I will immediately return to the imperial capital and present it to His Majesty! Then His Majesty will have a legitimate reason to eliminate the Lin family. Then the greatest credit will be on you!" Ming Xing advised earnestly.
There was a trace of struggle in Shui Ningye's eyes, and he couldn't make a decision.
"Your Highness, I promise you that I will never let the princess get hurt!" Ming Xing said again.
"If I destroy the Lin family, my father will be convinced of my ability. Then, I will be the first to get the moon. The position of Crown Prince will definitely be mine!"
Thinking of this, the struggle in Shui Ningye's eyes gradually became firm.
Seeing Shui Ningye's eyes, Ming Xing smiled.
"Just as Uncle Ming said, when Ning Ye becomes the king, he will definitely not forget Uncle Ming's contributions."
Shui Ningye stood up and bowed to Ming Xing.
"Then congratulations in advance to His Highness for entering the Eastern Palace!"
Ming Xing narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "Become the king?"
On the roof, Kru quietly put down the tiles. He was quite uneasy in his heart. He didn't expect to encounter such a shocking secret today.
"No wonder it took such a big fuss to capture Brother Gu. It turns out he has other intentions. No, I have to go back and report to Master Yuan."
Kru squatted up and was about to leave the City Lord's Mansion.
"who!"
In the room, Ming Xing shouted softly, and the spiritual energy in his hand shot out, hitting the roof where Kru was.
"Oh no, we've been discovered!"
Kru's face changed drastically. Without hesitation, he immediately flashed and ran towards the gate.
"Uncle Ming?" Shui Ningye was slightly surprised. He didn't know what had happened.
"A mouse is eavesdropping on our conversation." Ming Xing's face looked a little ugly.
"Ah? Uncle Ming, go after him quickly, don't let him go!"
Shui Ningye also became nervous. If today's conversation got out, then what would happen to him...
Shui Ningye shuddered.
"Don't panic, Your Highness. It's just a spiritualist. I'll be back soon."
After he finished speaking, Ming Xing shot out.
Just as Ming Xing's light shout was heard in the room, the guards outside the courtyard began to move. At this moment, the guards and soldiers from the City Lord's Mansion began to gather.
Kru's heart was pounding. Wasn't this reaction too fast?
No longer concealing himself, Kru was exposed to the guards' sight.
"You guys, go guard the gate and don't let even a fly go!"
"You guys, follow me."
The captain of the guards pointed at the others and said.
“Hu…Hu…”
Kru's breathing became increasingly rapid. The guards at the gate had already gathered, holding torches in their hands. There were dozens of them. Even if they were all spiritual disciples, he could not deal with them.
"what to do?"
"Darkness, I have the dark attribute, I can leave as long as there is darkness." Kru forced himself to calm down.
"Boy! Where do you want to go?"
As the roar came, Kru felt a strong sense of oppression. Spirit Master! Such strong power!
"Stay!"
The fiery red aura streaked across the night sky, and Ming Xing attacked Kru at an extremely terrifying speed.
Kru twisted his body and rolled out, avoiding Ming Xing's attack.
"Tsk, you actually managed to dodge my attack."
Ming Xing had a cruel smile on his face. "No matter who sent you here, when I catch you, I'll let you know what it means to live a life worse than death!"
