Chapter 252 The Eternal Sinner
East Palace.
Zhan Beiyuan sent Jiang Yunxi to the door and said, "I'll be waiting for you outside. If you need anything, just shout."
Jiang Yunxi's mouth twitched slightly. She said she came alone, but he insisted on sending her here. "Go and do your thing. There's no need to wait here. Don't worry, the Imperial Master won't attack me today. He called me here specifically to warn me."
"I'll wait for you here." Zhan Beiyuan insisted.
"Go find the emperor and tell him about Lord Sun's death." Jiang Yunxi said seriously. This was a big deal. She had talked to Zhan Beiyuan in detail about Lord Sun's death last night.
Zhan Beiyuan thought of what she said last night, and his expression became serious. "I will come to find you later. Please be careful."
Jiang Yunxi nodded and waved his hand to signal him to leave.
Zhan Beiyuan looked at her, then turned and left.
Jiang Yunxi walked towards the gate of the East Palace and explained her purpose to the guards. It was obvious that the Imperial Master had already given them instructions, so they took her directly into the East Palace.
"Miss Jiang." Liu Qingbai walked over from a distance and signaled the guard not to lead the way anymore, he would take Jiang Yunxi in.
"Mr. Liu has also moved to the East Palace?" Jiang Yunxi asked with a smile.
Liu Qingbai shook his head. "I'd rather stay in my own home. I heard from Master that someone was sent to invite you to the palace today, so I'll stay in the East Palace. Did you have an argument with Master?"
Jiang Yunxi smiled and said, "No, maybe we are just different people."
"I'll take you to see the master." Liu Qingbai said. He didn't know what had happened between them. He only knew that the master seemed to dislike Jiang Yunxi very much, and his face was full of anger whenever he mentioned her.
Obviously they had little contact.
Jiang Yunxi nodded, "Does Master Liu know the secret of the Eastern Palace?"
Liu Qingbai looked at him in confusion, "The secret of the Eastern Palace?"
"Death energy, and a secret room underground." Jiang Yunxi said directly, indicating that she already knew.
"I know about the death energy. As for the secret room, I've heard about it from my master, but I don't know what's inside." Liu Qingbai confessed.
"Is the National Master planning to train you to become the next National Master of Tenglong Kingdom? Otherwise, he would not have told you about the death energy and the secret room." Jiang Yunxi had a guess in his mind.
Yuheng is not young anymore and it is almost time for him to retire.
"I'm not sure about this. I have other outstanding fellow disciples, and the master should have told them that the master is an unpredictable person. No one knows who he will choose until the last moment." Liu Qingbai said softly.
"But I heard that you are the most favored by the National Master." Jiang Yunxi said with a smile.
"The one I like most may not be the one I value most. For me, it doesn't matter whether I become the national teacher or not. Once I get any power, I have to shoulder the corresponding responsibilities." Liu Qingbai had a warm smile on his face.
Jiang Yunxi praised, "You are a very insightful person."
She still hoped that he had not gone astray, and also hoped that she had misunderstood him.
"But if my master gives me a heavy burden, I will do my best to carry it and will not run away." Liu Qingbai said lightly.
Jiang Yunxi stared at him, still unable to discern any cause and effect, but the last time she looked at his palm, she knew he was destined to have a calamity. "You are a responsible person."
Liu Qingbai smiled at her and said, "Speaking of responsibility, Miss Jiang is the one who is responsible. You have unconditionally helped many people in the capital since you came back, including those who died in vain."
Jiang Yunxi smiled and said nothing more.
The two of them soon arrived at a side hall. The building area was not very large and it was not in the most central location of the East Palace. On the contrary, it looked quite remote and not very luxurious. It seemed like an idle palace that was cleaned up for the imperial teacher to live in.
"Master lives here, I'll take you in." Liu Qingbai said.
"Yeah." Jiang Yunxi followed him in.
Liu Qingbai took Jiang Yunxi to the largest hall in the middle of the palace, only to see Yuheng sitting cross-legged on the ground with his back to them.
"Master, Miss Jiang is here."
Yu Heng said in a cold and arrogant voice, "Let her wait outside."
Liu Qingbai: “…”
Jiang Yunxi said calmly, "Master, my time is precious. I don't have time to wait outside. Either you tell me the real business now, or I leave now."
Yuheng was so angry when he heard her arrogant words that he blew his beard and glared. He quickly stood up and looked at Jiang Yunxi with a sullen face. She was the first woman in Tenglong Country who dared to speak to him like this.
How frivolous you are at such a young age!
"Qingbai, you go down first." Yuheng said in a gentle voice.
"Yes." Liu Qingbai replied. When he left, he glanced at Jiang Yunxi and then left quickly.
After seeing Liu Qingbai walk away, Yuheng's eyes suddenly became as sharp as a knife. "Did you go into that secret room that day?"
Although he didn't want to admit it.
But someone did go in that day.
He couldn't think of anyone else except Jiang Yunxi.
"Does the Imperial Master hope that I have been in there, or that I have not been in there?" Jiang Yunxi did not admit it directly. She was not sure what the Imperial Master was going to say next, so naturally she could not reveal her cards first.
Yu Heng snorted expressionlessly, but in his heart he sneered, "Whether you have entered that secret room or not, please never go in again, otherwise you will not be able to bear the consequences."
"What are the consequences?" Jiang Yunxi asked curiously.
"The eternal sinner of Tenglong Nation."
"So serious?"
Seeing that she didn't take it seriously, Yuheng said angrily, "Looking at what you did after returning to the capital, you are not a cruel person. If you want the people of the capital to die, you can continue to go to that secret room."
Jiang Yunxi narrowed her eyes slightly, "What do you mean by that?"
"There is an altar in the secret room. A formation is arranged on the altar, which suppresses the broken body of a great devil. If you destroy the altar, the palace will collapse and the capital will be shaken. There will be countless casualties, and the broken body of the great devil will come out to cause chaos." Yuheng said coldly.
"Are you threatening me?" Jiang Yunxi frowned, but his heart sank. Was what he said true or false?
"Believe it or not, it's up to you. You can gamble with the Tenglong Kingdom's palace and the lives of the people in the capital. Do you dare to gamble?" There was a strong sense of sarcasm on Yuheng's face. In the past two days, he had specially learned about her deeds after returning to the capital.
She didn't dare to gamble.
Because she is a kind-hearted person.
"You guessed right. I really don't dare to gamble, so you told me all this to stop me from entering the secret room again." Jiang Yunxi's face was cold and his eyes were icy.
She had to admit that the Imperial Master's move was very clever.
Regardless of whether what he said was true or false, she didn't dare to destroy the altar casually.
Just in case it's true.
She will indeed become the eternal sinner of Tenglong Country.
She admitted that he had won this psychological battle.
Yu Heng laughed, "You can also go to the secret room and move the altar. I won't stop you. Anyway, there are no descendants of mine in Tenglong Country, and I am almost dead. It doesn't matter whether I live or not."
Jiang Yunxi said calmly, "Old ginger is still the wisest."
"You forced me to do that. You were the first person to break into that secret room. My responsibility is to guard the altar until the day I die. If you want to move there, you have to step over my dead body." Yuheng said sternly, making his attitude clear.
