The Fourth Prince's carriage stopped at the entrance of the Wu Prince's residence, and Li Mingke and Miaoyinzi got out of the carriage.
"Goodbye, A-Yu!" Li Mingke waved to the fourth prince in the carriage.
"Wait, I'll get out of the carriage too..." The fourth prince made a move to get out of the carriage as well.
"Your Highness is a very busy man. Your advisors are probably waiting for you in your palace. Don't keep them waiting!" Miao Yinzi said to the Fourth Prince while standing with Li Mingke, and then turned to urge his coachman to hurry up.
In the end, the Fourth Prince could only watch as Li Mingke and Miaoyinzi entered the gates of the Wu Prince's Mansion.
Miao Yinzi entered the Wu King's mansion as if it were her own home, and immediately asked the steward to prepare accommodations for her.
Looking at the busy servants, Li Mingke said to Miaoyinzi with a hint of resentment, "Senior Miaoyinzi, why are you staying here? The place those people prepared for you must have been much better!"
“Why call me ‘senior’? I’m giving you special permission to call me Miaomiao!” Miaoyinzi said. “Of course, it’s because as soon as I arrive, all those people fawn over me, and I don’t like that.”
"Miaomiao is really true to herself!" Li Mingke chuckled dryly.
"As for why I'm staying here, it's because I'm very curious about you."
Curious about me?
"Hmm! I couldn't calculate your fate last time, so I reported it to my master after I got back. My master said that your fate is unusual and there's no need to calculate it again. Moreover, I unexpectedly met you both times he sent me down the mountain. I feel like we're very destined for each other!" Miao Yinzi said while turning around and looking at the scenery of the Wu King's Mansion.
"Really? That's quite a coincidence." Li Mingke didn't say anything more. If she wanted to stay, then let her stay. Anyway, the Wu Prince's Mansion was rich, and supporting one more person would be a drop in the ocean.
For the next two weeks, Miao Yinzi stayed with Li Mingke and would often demonstrate some divination techniques to her. Occasionally, the Fourth Prince would come, but he would be called away before he could even get comfortable.
"The late emperor was good in every way, except for these children who were a real handful. If he had made an heir earlier, there wouldn't have been so much trouble." Miao Yinzi was very dissatisfied with the fourth prince's frequent visits.
Li Mingke could only force a smile after hearing this.
Miao Yinzi dares to say whatever she thinks, but she wouldn't dare. Even if Miao Yinzi scolded the emperor in front of him in the imperial court, the emperor probably wouldn't say anything and would even laugh it off.
But Li Mingke is not one of them.
First of all, her connection to the Wu Prince's Mansion wouldn't allow her to act recklessly. Although the Li family was a prominent family, their influence was only in Pengzhou. The only thing that could protect her was her status as the first disciple of the Immortal Venerable Jinyun, but if she really caused trouble, Li Mingke couldn't guarantee that her master would protect her.
Mentioning Jinyun Immortal Venerable, she suddenly thought: What has Master been doing lately? He's been so elusive.
Jinyun Immortal Venerable naturally went to find He Banjian based on the information from Fengyulou.
He knew that Demon Lord Luan Hua was not in the Demon Cave, but had gone to the mortal realm to help the Fifth Princess seize the throne, so he did not alert anyone and quietly sneaked into the Demon Cave.
Where will Luan Hua place He Banjian?
He first went to the former bridal chamber of Luan Hua and Lin Banjian, but the door was closed and no one was guarding it. After thinking for a while, he realized that they were not there.
Where could it be?
Just then, he heard two maids talking as they walked, and they were talking about He Banjian.
"That Miss He is quite strange. His Majesty brought her back, but he doesn't favor her. Instead, he tells us to serve her well. Is she not our future wife?"
"Shh, keep your voice down! I'm wondering about it too! But I've heard from the old folks that this Miss He is the reincarnation of our Madam. Because she's so young, His Majesty takes pity on her and is raising her for now."
"But if she really is the reincarnation of the Lady, why does Your Majesty have such an attitude? Didn't you say that Your Majesty and the Lady had a very good relationship?"
"I don't know either. Perhaps His Majesty has his own considerations, which are not for us to speculate on."
The Immortal Venerable Jinyun listened in silence.
He only revealed himself after the two maids had walked away.
Following the direction of the two maids, he soon arrived at He Banjian's residence.
He nimbly leaped over the wall and saw a beautiful young girl sitting at the stone table in the courtyard; it was He Banjian.
Is she showing off her books?
But it didn't look like it. After observing for a while, Immortal Venerable Jinyun realized that she was looking for something in the pile of books.
He watched quietly from the side.
"No, no, none of them!" He Banjian muttered to himself as he flipped through the book.
What is she looking for?
He Banjian searched again and finally found a book that satisfied her.
"Various Speculations about the Origin of the Fairy's Exquisite Eyes!"
Jinyun Immortal Venerable standing to the side: Who on earth is so bored as to write such a book, and yet a publishing house dares to publish it!
He Banjian read it out word by word:
"Half-Fairy's mother suffered a difficult childbirth, and oxygen deprivation led to..."
"The Fairy Half-Seeing is suffering from a terrible illness; her exquisite eyes are a way of expressing this disease..."
"Half-Seeing Fairy committed too many evil deeds in her past life; this is Heaven's punishment for her..."
"The Fairy Half-Seeing's eyes are two glass balls; in reality, she is blind..."
"..."
He Banjian slammed the book to the ground.
"What kind of nonsense is this? How can a publishing house even publish such a book? Why didn't the Immortal Venerable and the Demon Venerable destroy this publishing house back then?"
Jinyun Immortal Venerable nodded silently to the side.
He will go to have a "friendly meeting" with the publishing house that published the book in a little while.
He Banjian lay on the pile of books, utterly dejected. "I've been busy for days, but I haven't found a single useful piece of information."
She grabbed a book at random and covered her face with it.
The Immortal Venerable of Jinyun lowered his eyes.
Ban Jian is very different from her. Did he make a mistake in choosing her?
He Banjian lay there for a while, then put the book off her face. But when she casually glanced at the contents of the book, she stopped.
this……
Yes, how come she didn't think of that!
But the most important thing now is to get our hands on this "magic weapon"!
Oh right, she remembered this one; wasn't it with Immortal Venerable Jinyun?
It was during the disciple-acceptance ceremony that shocked the Three Realms—
Mysterious Mirror!
He Banjian exclaimed in delight, "Heaven is helping me!"
As she happily twirled around with the book in her hand, she saw the Immortal Venerable Jinyun standing behind her.
Poor He Banjian spun around two and a half times before he abruptly slammed on the brakes and crashed to the ground.
"You, you..." She stretched out a hand, pointing at Jinyun Immortal Venerable, so shocked that she couldn't speak for a long time.
"Are you alright? Did you hurt yourself?" Immortal Venerable Jinyun helped the person up.
"No..." Lin Banjian took advantage of Jinyun Immortal Venerable's inattention and threw the book into the pile of books.
We must not let Immortal Venerable Jinyun find out!
"Immortal, Immortal Venerable, what brings you here?" He Banjian asked with a smile.
"I just happened to be passing by, so I thought I'd drop by and see you."
He Banjian: ? Did she hear that right?
Where is this place? The Demon Realm's stronghold—the Demon Cave! It's a hundred and eight thousand miles away from your immortal sect. Even if it were on the way, we wouldn't pass by here! Your Majesty, don't you even think before you lie?
"Hehe, hehe, may I ask what brings you here, Immortal Venerable?" He Banjian was truly impressed with herself; her expression hadn't distorted at all, remaining perfectly normal!
"I have a question for you."
"Um, may I ask?"
"Was it you who broke into the narrow passage in the middle of the night a few days ago?"
