Chapter 793 What a dashing and charming young man!
Only after Aoxue and the others left did Mr. Gongsun and Xie Shang emerge from the shadows.
Xie Shang, disguised as a bodyguard and wearing a mask, coldly stared in the direction Ye Ying had left: "A face exactly like Ye Ying's, even the best disguise mask wouldn't fall off after being rained on for so long, do you think that's possible, sir?"
Gongsun Ling said, "Impossible."
He added, “Your Majesty should ask the Thousand-Faced Gentleman, for he is the real expert. I have practiced medicine for decades and have yet to find a better way to create such a perfect, seamless mask.”
Xie Shang narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "So there is only one possibility: the Night Shadow in front of us may really be twins. They can't be exactly the same unless they are brothers."
Gongsun Ling frowned. "Is there anyone from the Zhou family still alive? Are he and Ye Ying brothers? This matter needs to be thoroughly investigated."
"It seems that Uncle Kang has not been idle these years. He has figured out the people in the Hidden God Camp."
He founded the Hidden God Camp with the aim of cultivating his own power. From a young age, he knew that no matter who his father gave the throne to, he would seize it by force.
Night Shadow rescued the person, and naturally someone followed. It's just unknown whether Uncle Kang will show up.
Where in Shengjing City is he hiding?
Gongsun Ling said, "I'm afraid this rain won't stop, and the assassins have flooded into Kunning Palace... Why doesn't Your Majesty go and check on them?" He wanted to go and meet Empress Jiang.
Gongsun Ling was actually only thirty years old. He was very capable, and his ancestors had been doctors for generations. He also had a younger sister who was skilled in medicine but had an eccentric personality and was unwilling to serve the Hidden God Camp.
Ao Xue's master is actually his sister, but...
Xie Shang addressed him as "sir" out of respect. He had gathered many capable and talented people to work for him, such as the Thousand-Faced Gentleman.
Xie Shang knew that Jiang Fenghua was alright. "The most important thing now is to find Xie Kang. If he founded the Earthly Fiends Sect, their lair is likely in the Northwest."
He feared that Xie Kang's growing power would pose a threat to the Great Zhou Kingdom.
"The crescent moon whale pattern is the symbol of the Earthly Fiends. There is also a legend that there is a huge, spindle-shaped animal in the sea called a whale. It can dive into the deep sea and leap into the air in the shape of a crescent moon. It is extremely fierce. It is said that the whale's mouth is the entrance to hell, which makes people tremble with fear. Those who have seen it are even scared out of their wits." Gongsun Ling slowly explained.
Xie Shang said, "Let's go!"
Gongsun Lingsheng looked up at the sky with a sense of despair. In such a heavy downpour, he had come to the palace and was not even invited to come in and sit down to take shelter from the rain. Instead, he was made to run back and forth. He must be suffering from a cold. Even doctors are only human.
Gongsun Ling could only complain in his heart. He was handsome, dashing, and elegant, but now he was soaked to the bone. How could he bear it?
"Wait for me!" Even if we walk this fast, we might not be able to catch King Kang.
If he really founded the Earthly Fiends Sect, then our Hidden God Camp will have to think long and hard before dealing with it!
He wanted to meet his Empress, whom he had heard was a beauty.
How could Xie Shang not want to see his Ruan Ruan and child? He left without saying goodbye that day. Was Ruan Ruan angry?
With such heavy rain, Shengjing City has been thoroughly cordoned off. If Xie Kang is still in Shengjing, he can be located precisely if Xie Kang shows his face.
He said, "Let's go back to Kunning Palace and check on the situation." The guards reported that the Empress was safe and sound.

When Jiang Fenghua heard Black Bee talk about the origin of the Crescent Moon Whale, some memories suddenly flashed through her mind, and scattered fragments appeared in her mind.
She said, "The Crescent Whale has teeth like saw teeth, and its mouth is the entrance to hell. That's how people who have seen it describe its shape."
Black Bee's eyes lit up with surprise, "Has Your Highness read any descriptions of the Crescent Moon Whale?"
“I think I’ve seen it before, but it’s been a long time and I can’t quite remember it.” Her mind raced. “These assassins all have tattoos in the shape of crescent whales. Assuming it’s related to Prince Kang, he must have read this book, or even be very fond of this animal, or he may have seen it. The book says that its mouth is the entrance to hell, and this sect is called the Earthly Fiend Sect. I speculate that the entrance of the Earthly Fiend Sect is similar in shape to the mouth of a whale, like a sawtooth. Think about the places inside and outside Shengjing City, or somewhere with holes that look like the teeth of a crescent whale. That might be its entrance.”
Lin Yu asked, "What is a crescent whale? Does it look like a crescent moon?"
Lin Yu bent over and made a crescent moon shape with her hands. She had studied dance since she was a child, so she had a graceful figure and was as beautiful as a flower. Every movement she made was very beautiful.
Jiang Fenghua laughed and said, "If the Crescent Moon Whale looked like you, it wouldn't be the entrance to hell."
Lin Yu asked, "You've seen him before?"
Jiang Fenghua shook her head. "I've never seen it either. I just vaguely remember reading similar words in my mind and then imagining it. It should look like a blue-faced monster with fangs."
Jiang Fenghua and the black bee had never seen one before; they had only read descriptions of them in books and couldn't imagine how big the largest animal could be.
Jiang Fenghua took out paper and pen and drew the pictures and text on the assassin's body. However, she searched her mind for sentences describing the Crescent Whale and then expanded them. She couldn't imagine how big it was because she had never been to the seaside to see such a huge animal.
In short, she thought the animal she drew was closer to the description in the book, and that those who did tattoos for assassins were unprofessional.
Lin Yu followed her drawing and made another gesture, revealing a "blood-red mouth," but no matter how you looked at it, it was both cute and adorable. "Feng Hua, is it like this? You've expanded my image countless times."
Jiang Fenghua laughed instantly, "Do you look like someone in a painting?"
Lin Yu smiled slightly: "The crescent whale you drew is very abstract and cute. The teeth are drawn in a sawtooth shape, the tail, body and head are curled up into a ball, its belly looks like a pancake with a big bite taken out of it, and its mouth looks like a cave! What is this thing?"
Lin Yu was also speechless. "This is not the terrifying Earthly Fiend Sect at all. It is clearly a mutated cute pancake. Little Yan'er will definitely like to eat it."
Jiang Fenghua felt like a flock of crows was flying overhead. How embarrassing!
She said, "The head is shaped like a fish, after all, the book says it's called a whale!"
Black Bee remained calm and composed, offering no comment. He had never met him before; Mr. Gongsun had only mentioned him briefly, and he had only vaguely remembered some of it.
Jiang Fenghua sighed, “I have realized the importance of broad knowledge, and I am determined to travel thousands of miles.”
When Xie Shang arrived at Kunning Palace, the assassins outside the gate had already been dealt with. The heavy rain had not stopped, and the rainwater had washed away the bloodstains on the ground.
As dawn broke, a faint candlelight still burned in the bedchamber, and the sounds of a few people discussing something could be heard, like a gentle stream.
He heard her say she was going to walk out...
Gongsun Ling's eyes lit up without him realizing it.
When the two appeared in front of Jiang Fenghua and the others, Black Bee was the first to react and bow.
Xie Shang nodded, signaling him to step back.
Even though he was wearing a mask, Jiang Fenghua still recognized him. Was it inconvenient for him to reveal his identity while he was in the palace?
The next moment, Jiang Fenghua's eyes lingered on Gongsun Ling's face. What a handsome and charming young man!
