Upon hearing this voice, Old Man Mi trembled, his smile instantly froze, and he abruptly turned to look out the window.
An old man was already standing by the bed, coughing while covering his mouth with a handkerchief, and looking at him with a half-smile.
If Zu'an or Pei Mianman were here, they would definitely recognize that this is Wei Dan, the mysterious and powerful member of the Wei family.
The moment he saw the other person, Old Man Mi's expression changed rapidly, but in the end he let out a long sigh of relief: "I was worried about this day coming, but when it actually came, I was relieved. It wasn't as tense as I had imagined."
Wei Dan smiled slightly: "That's how things are in this world. The most painful thing is not when bad things happen, but the eve of waiting for them to happen."
Old Man Mi chuckled twice: "I didn't expect that after all these years, you still like to preach so much."
Wei Dan was not offended: "We've all grown old over the years. Speaking of which, I really had a hard time finding you. Over the years, the palace has spent a lot of manpower and resources, but we still couldn't find your whereabouts until recently when we finally caught you."
Old Man Mi asked curiously, "How exactly did you find me?"
“A while ago, during the competition between the Chu and Yuan families in Mingyue City, someone reported that Zu An’s movement technique was very similar to your Sunflower Illusion, so we guessed that you were probably here,” Wei Dan replied.
Old Man Mi snorted: "As expected, that little rascal leaked my identity. I told him a thousand times not to reveal it in front of others, but he still wouldn't listen. If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have passed on the Sunflower Illusion to him!"
Mylian Ying's anger level increased by 760!
At this moment, Zuan on the other side was stunned when he saw this message in the background. What was going on?
So he decided to go and check on Old Man Mi. He had never been able to figure out what the other party's purpose was, and recently the sense of crisis had become more and more obvious, so he had to find out the truth as soon as possible before he could feel at ease.
Of course, he wouldn't rashly go directly to the door to inquire; he would definitely investigate from a distance.
Because he was wary of the opponent's cultivation level, he directly used "Mirror of Truth" to conceal his aura.
Seeing someone in his courtyard from afar, it was Wei Dan. He was greatly alarmed and dared not approach. He hid in the shadows and quietly watched the other side.
In Old Man Mi's courtyard, Wei Dan said with some confusion, "To be honest, I'm also wondering why you would teach your secret skills to a complete stranger like a hooligan. It's really not like you."
"There's no particular reason. I just saw that he was quite respectful to me, so I taught him on a whim one day. Looking back now, I was careless." Old Man Mi naturally wouldn't tell him that Zu An was the furnace he had chosen, and he certainly couldn't let anything happen to him before he could possess him.
“I see,” Wei Dan smiled slightly. “Fortunately, otherwise it would have been really difficult to find you.”
Hearing this, Zu'an felt a little embarrassed. It turned out that it was because of him that Old Man Mi was discovered by his enemy. No wonder he was so angry just now.
"You actually managed to find me so quickly based on this alone; that's quite impressive," Old Man Mi remarked.
The two chatted like old friends, but both knew that there was a hidden danger in the air.
“Not so fast,” Wei Dan replied. “Because I was afraid of alerting him, I didn’t dare to directly interrogate Zu An. So I’ve been secretly investigating for the past few days. I started with the people around him, first investigating the academy, and then I tried everyone in the academy, but I couldn’t find any trace of you on them.”
Zuan recalled the incident a while ago when a group of teachers at the academy had all been bruised and battered; it turned out to be this guy's doing.
I was lucky, otherwise if he had directly captured and interrogated me, I wouldn't have been able to escape.
Old Man Mi couldn't help but say, "There are so many experts in the academy, yet you managed to toy with them so easily. It seems that Eunuch Wei's cultivation has greatly improved over the years."
"Apart from Jiang Luofu, the others aren't exactly experts." Wei Dan snorted, the image of the woman with the beautiful legs in stockings from that night flashing through his mind. If he weren't a eunuch, he probably would have been irresistibly attracted to her too.
"That's true." Old Man Mi nodded, clearly agreeing with his assessment. "Why didn't you come to the Chu family to investigate immediately?"
Wei Dan explained, "I thought that Zu An was chosen as a son-in-law by the Chu family because he received your instruction. I subconsciously assumed that you were outside the Chu family, so I checked the academy first."
Zuan was furious. "Someone as handsome as me, do I need to rely on other skills to be chosen as a son-in-law by the Chu family?"
This guy is ugly, so he'll never understand how proactive women are in front of a handsome guy like me.
"I see." Old Man Mi said with realization, then asked, "By the way, how has His Majesty's health been these past few years?"
Zuan's eyes widened in surprise. Old Man Mi was indeed connected to the emperor. Having been in this world for so long, he knew that there were countless experts in this world, but there was no dispute about who the number one expert was: the current emperor.
Old Man Mi worked under him, no wonder his cultivation level was so high.
“Little Yingzi, you still think about the Emperor,” Wei Dan sneered. “Thanks to you, the Emperor’s health is very poor.”
Old Man Mi was shocked: "How could this be? The Emperor's cultivation is extraordinary, why would he be in poor health?"
Wei Dan snorted: "You know perfectly well why you ask. No matter how high your cultivation level is in this world, you can't escape the fate of the Five Decays of Heaven and Man. That's why the Emperor sent you to lead people to find the legendary Phoenix Nirvana Scripture, which can grant immortality after cultivation. Who knew you would never return?"
Zu An was startled. Could cultivating the Phoenix Nirvana Scripture grant eternal life?
