A few days later, in Jixiang Palace.

Compared with the previous time, what surprised Li Yuebai the most was the amount of power he could mobilize.

In my last time, I was almost alone, and the only person who could command me was Ye Qing, so the whole time we had to either fight side by side or fight alone.

During this period, there were tens of thousands of Kunlun monks obeying his orders at any time every day. If he sent fewer people one day, or paid less attention to a certain pavilion or peak, the monks would wonder if they were abandoned by the Lord Chief Priest.

With so many people involved, we have to be extra cautious when doing things, as every order can determine the life and death of countless people.

Yu Tianliu has already fled with his men, and no one knows where he is. Some people say that you should not chase after a desperate enemy, while others say that you should chase after a desperate enemy with all your remaining courage. According to the plot of this world, Yu Tianliu will one day gather his men and return to Kunlun. Instead of waiting for him to come to you, it is better to do something first.

Li Yuebai sent out many secret agents to search for Yu Tianliu in order to bring back some useful information. Among these secret agents, there were of course assassins.

"Send someone to assassinate my brother?" Yu Tianji lazily lay on Li Yuebai's legs, eating some fruit from the crystal plate beside him with one hand: "It's a good idea, but..."

"Is the Immortal Lord worried about the safety of the spies and assassins?" Li Yuebai whispered, "The orders given to them are of course to protect themselves first, and to gather information second. As for assassination, it is not the primary task, but the last task. It can only be carried out when the opportunity is perfect. Therefore, there is no need to worry."

"No." Yu Tianji curled his lips and said, "If my brother is really killed by you, then wouldn't the mission in this world be successfully completed? In this case, wouldn't Lady Mu leave me? What should I do?"

"Host, the ultimate mission of this time is to kill Yu Tianliu." The system popped up to remind you: "Once Yu Tianliu dies, the mission will be successfully completed, and you will return to that room... and wait for the next world."

"..." Li Yuebai was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously said, "The mission must be completed, otherwise..."

"Otherwise we will all die, right?" Yu Tianji sighed, "I think it would be more comfortable to die than to part ways with Lady Mu."

"Don't be silly." Li Yuebai reached out and touched his forehead: "Isn't our primary goal to win?"

"Okay, okay." Yu Tianji rubbed his hand comfortably: "Speaking of which, how many people did Lady Mu send to assassinate Yu Tianliu?"

"Yes, host, how many people did you send out to assassinate Yu Tianliu?" the system also asked.

Being asked the same question by two "people" at the same time gave Li Yuebai the illusion that he was back in the classroom.

"Aren't you a high-tech system?" Li Yuebai asked the system in surprise, "How can you not do such simple arithmetic?"

"What you mean is that it's not right for the system to not be able to figure it out, but it's normal for me to not be able to figure it out?" Yu Tianji said aggrievedly.

"..." Li Yuebai finally resisted the urge to nod.

Although the Immortal Lord is wise in making decisions on major issues, he never pays attention to details and makes as many mistakes as possible in writing and arithmetic.

Having said that, even Li Yuebai himself might not be clear about how many spies he had sent out.

After all, this kind of thing cannot be done openly. Even within Kunlun, only a few trusted confidants can know about it. The whole thing is real and fake, real and fake, so as to avoid the secrets being revealed by possible undercover agents.

"Come to think of it, my beauty, I remember that among the people you sent out, some were Wan Guangliu's men." Yu Tianji said lazily, "Do you trust Wan Guangliu?"

"I can still trust you in this life." Li Yuebai said.

Wan Guangliu, the leader of Qinglong Peak, is a dangerous man and an unstable factor in the original plot. In this life, Li Yuebai is extremely careful and pays attention to rewarding this man materially and counseling him psychologically. He is so careful. If this man still rebels, it would be too ignorant of the current situation.

"But as far as I know." Yu Tianji picked up a fan, covered his mouth with it, and laughed secretly: "Wan Guangliu just married Ji Yao not long ago."

"Oh, this matter..." Li Yuebai felt a dull pain in his temple again.

Before the Immortal Alliance Conference began, Ji Yao had already shown her urgency. Her family had fallen, but she was unwilling to lose her status. Of course, she was eager to find a husband of a higher status, and even set her sights on Li Yuebaitou.

After being scared away by Li Yuebai, she realized that Wan Guangliu was a more suitable target.

"Of course I know about this." Li Yuebai said helplessly: "The Qinglong Peak Master is getting married, how could the Immortal Master and the Chief Priest not know about it? It's just that it happened too fast."

The two met before the Immortal Alliance Conference and got married hastily shortly after the conference ended.

"Fast?" Yu Tianji narrowed his eyes and looked Li Yuebai up and down: "How can it be fast? Do we have to be like Lady Mu and keep ourselves clean for the rest of our lives?"

"..." Li Yuebai was already used to Yu Tianji bringing all the topics to tease him, so he simply closed his eyes and began to assess the degree of dangerousness of Ji Yao in his heart.

Not long after the evaluation, someone came to visit.

The visitor was a trusted confidant. He quickly entered the hall and reported: "Master Immortal, Master Jijiu, the person you sent out has returned..."

The “people sent out” of course refer to spies.

"Which batch?" Li Yuebai suddenly opened his eyes.

"Master Wan Feng's subordinates..." the confidant whispered.

"Where is the spy now?"

"I just entered the mountain gate not long ago. According to the rules, I must first go to see the master of Wanfeng, report to him clearly, and then come to pay homage to the Immortal Lord..."

"Forget it." Li Yuebai ordered hastily: "Let him skip this red tape and come directly here to see the Immortal Lord."

"That Master Wan Feng..." The confidant was stunned.

Everyone knew that Master Wan had a rebellious temperament and would not necessarily follow orders from the Immortal Lord. This time, he let his men bypass him and go directly to the Immortal Lord. Doesn't that mean he doesn't take him, the Master of the Peak, seriously?

"I will go and invite Master Wanfeng in person." Li Yuebai said, "You go and stop those people now and ask them to come directly to the Jixiang Palace."

"Yes." After receiving the order, the confidant hurried away.

"Host, why are you so nervous?" The system was puzzled: "What's so big about those spies? Why are you so anxious to have them come over..."

"According to the rules, they should have reported to Master Wanfeng first." Li Yuebai said, "It's just that Master Wanfeng has Ji Yao by his side."

"Are you afraid that Ji Yao has heard the confidential information?" The system said, "She doesn't have the power to do anything bad now..."

"It's always better to be careful." As Li Yuebai spoke, he quickly stood up and left.

"Hey..." Before Yu Tianji could react, she was pushed away by Li Yuebai. She could only shout at the top of her voice: "Beauty, where are you going?"

"I'll go and ask Master Wan Feng to come. You wait here." While Li Yuebai was speaking, he had already walked several feet away.

Yu Tianji originally wanted to take advantage of her out of habit, but his grasp had already been missed. His hands were suspended in the air, having lost their target, and he felt very embarrassed.

“My beauty, you are too heartless…” Yu Tianji hurriedly pretended to be pitiful and said, “You left without taking me with you!”

"Be good, I'll be back soon." Li Yuebai's mind was full of thoughts and doubts. He had no time to deal with the Immortal Master who was busy with his own affairs. He subconsciously waved his hands and said the words he usually used to coax students.

Throughout this time, he has been playing the role of Mu Qingning conscientiously, being as serious as possible, and avoiding being serious as possible, trying his best not to show his casual and carefree personality. It is quite novel to hear him say the word "good".

"Oh my..." Yu Tianji seemed to have gotten something sweet, and immediately rubbed his chest happily: "I just heard the words you said, how could it be so intimate? Could it be that my sincerity finally moved the beauty..."

Leaving him alone in the hall to revel in his pleasure, Li Yuebai took a few of his close confidants and hurried to Qinglong Peak.

There are quite a few monks in Qinglong Peak, and they are famous for their superb swordsmanship. They have just won a victory recently, and their morale is high. They form a battle formation every day to practice swordsmanship.

In addition, the peak master had just gotten married, and the joyous atmosphere had not yet faded. The entire Qinglong Peak was bustling and peaceful.

Li Yuebai had no intention of chatting with the monks, and without informing anyone, he went straight to Wan Guangliu's study.

As he expected, in addition to Wan Guangliu, Ji Yao was also there.

"Master Jijiu?" Wan Guangliu was surprised to see Li Yuebai coming to visit him suddenly. He raised his eyebrows and quickly stood up to greet him, saying, "Master Jijiu, why did you come to my humble home in person? Did something big happen?"

His character has always been like this, tough and violent, he says whatever he thinks and is not afraid of offending others.

Seeing him like this, Li Yuebai felt more relieved.

Now Wan Guangliu still regards Mu Qingning as his own, without any barriers or hatred between them, so he speaks so frankly.

God knows how much effort Li Yue put into taking care of Wan Guangliu's feelings and avoiding offending him at all costs. Now it seems that these efforts have finally paid off.

"Nothing." Li Yuebai put on his signature warm smile and said, "Master Wanfeng got married a few days ago, and I didn't attend in person, so I came here today to make up for my late courtesy."

"Hahahaha...thank you very much, Master Jijiu." Wan Guangliu said with a smile.

Ji Yao had already stood up from the table, and came forward gracefully. She bowed to Li Yuebai and said, "Thank you, Master Jijiu."

She was still wearing the crimson dress, her hair was tied up in a bun with a few agate hairpins inserted in it. She looked graceful and smiling, showing all the happiness of a newlywed, but there was no sign of sincerity in her.

Li Yuebai exchanged a few pleasantries with the couple, casually showing concern for them, and then said, "It just so happens that the Immortal Master has something to discuss with Master Wanfeng. Why don't you go to the Auspicious Palace with me?"

"The Immortal Lord has given an order, and I dare not disobey." Wan Guangliu said with a smile: "But I don't know what it is?"

Li Yuebai smiled but said nothing.

Seeing this, Ji Yao immediately understood, bowed, and said, "It was my fault for being reckless. The Lord Jijiu had important things to arrange for my husband, and I shouldn't have been there."

Having said that, she turned around and made a gesture to leave.

Wan Guangliu immediately showed some displeasure on his face.

In Wan Guangliu's opinion, although Ji Yao's father and brother were convicted, he himself was innocent and had no bad intentions. The Lord Jijiu did not trust Ji Yao, which was equivalent to not trusting himself and not giving him face.

"That's fine. Madam is not an outsider." Li Yuebai smiled and said, "It's about Lord Tian Liu. The spy just sent me news that Lord Tian Liu was assassinated yesterday."

This statement is of course false, it is just made up.

However, after hearing this, Ji Yao's figure trembled slightly.

She turned around, her face full of joy, and asked anxiously: "Master...Master Jijiu, are you serious?"

Li Yuebai nodded.

"This... is great. Kunlun's biggest worry has finally been eliminated." Ji Yao smiled and said, "I congratulate the Immortal Lord and the Master of the Imperial Wine."

"I heard that Madam had a close relationship with Lord Tianliu in her early years." Li Yuebai said calmly, "Why did Madam look so happy when she heard the news of his death today?"

"In the early days, Tian Liu Jun was the eldest son of the old Immortal Lord. How dare I not praise him perfunctorily?" Ji Yao did not evade, and said calmly: "But now, Tian Liu Jun has committed a serious crime and made a big mistake, threatening tens of thousands of cultivators in Kunlun. Of course, I regard him as an enemy and want to get rid of him as soon as possible. I am naturally happy to hear the news of his death."

"Madam, you are very righteous and I admire you." Li Yuebai sighed, "It's a pity that the truth of the news is still unknown."

"So that's how it is." Ji Yao also sighed and closed his eyes.

After the greetings, Wan Guangliu said goodbye to his wife and then walked towards the Auspicious Hall with Li Yuebai.

After leaving Qinglong Peak, Li Yuebai was still recalling Ji Yao's movements and expressions over and over again.

This trip was worthwhile, as I got to see all of Ji Yao's thoughts.

Although she said that she hated Yu Tianliu deeply, judging from her expression and actions that she tried hard to hide...she was still on Yu Tianliu's side, just like in the original plot.

Wan Guangliu, on the other hand, really had deep feelings for Ji Yao and trusted her very much, and he did not hide this trust at all.

"Master Jijiu." After leaving Qinglong Peak, Wan Guangliu's expression became even more unfriendly. There were no outsiders around, so he even dared to question Li Yuebai directly: "Just now, why did you deliberately test my wife? Do you still doubt her?"

"I'm sorry." Li Yuebai sighed, "Master Wanfeng is also aware of Madam's identity..."

"What her father and brother did has nothing to do with her?" Wan Guangliu said, "If they were from the same family, they should be implicated. Tian Liujun and the Immortal Lord are also brothers. Are they both guilty?"

"How can Master Wanfeng guarantee that she has no other intentions?" Li Yuebai stopped and said.

What Wan Guangliu said just now was really too reckless and arrogant. It turned out that his character setting was still the same, without changing at all.

"Ji Yao is my wife. I know everything she thinks." Wan Guangliu said coldly, "She has a kind heart and is definitely not someone who is full of intrigues and schemes."

"The more important the responsibility one bears, the more suspicious and thoughtful one should be, otherwise..." Li Yuebai calmed himself down.

"I charged and fought for Kunlun just to protect the safety of tens of thousands of Kunlun monks. If even my wife is suspected... then I really don't understand who the Lord Jijiu can trust!" Wan Guangliu said angrily.

"..." Li Yuebai was silent for a while.

In this world, how many people can see through the person sleeping next to them?

People who think they see everything are everywhere.

But looking at Wan Guangliu's attitude, if he continued to doubt Ji Yao, he would really have to fall out with him.

Forget it, just tear it apart.

"Master Wanfeng." Li Yuebai said sternly, "If you insist on trusting your wife, then I will have no choice but to... not discuss Kunlun's important matters with you for the time being."

There can be no secrets between husband and wife. If some secrets are known by Wan Guangliu, Ji Yao will also know them soon, and the consequences will be disastrous.

Wan Guangliu's body froze, and the anger on his face grew more and more intense, but because he had gotten along well with the Lord Chief Winemaker before and still had a sense of awe towards him, he did not dare to lose his temper immediately.

"Since the Lord Chief Priest does not trust me, I will take my leave first." Wan Guangliu bowed and left.

Li Yuebai did not try to keep him.

"Host, the system must warn you that if you lose Wan Guangliu's trust, the consequences will be disastrous." The system reminded.

"So how much trust have I lost now?"

"About fifty percent..." the system calculated.

"...This is dropping too fast!" Li Yuebai was very depressed. God knows how much effort he had put in to save this 50%. It was really painful to see it drop so suddenly.

"Host, you'd better try harder to maintain Wan Guangliu's remaining trust in you and don't let it drop any further." said the system.

"Then how dangerous would it be if Ji Yao learned the secret of Kunlun?" Li Yuebai asked.

"There are too many possibilities to calculate," the system said with its hands up.

"I don't want to take risks. Comparatively speaking, it's safer to offend Wan Guangliu." Li Yuebai said.

He originally came here to invite Wan Guangliu, but now he was alone and had no choice but to return home.
