Unlike the carefree and playful antics of the young female bandit and her servant, Shang Xiye faced a perilous situation.
Meng Qi relied on his status as Shang Dongyang's father, and also on Shang Dongyang's recent obsequious behavior towards him in private.
Shang Xi went into the inner room to bathe and change clothes at night, and Meng Qi followed him in without a care.
"No need to serve me anymore, all of you may leave. I want to rest by myself for a while," Shang Xiye said coldly, originally intending to dismiss his attendants to avoid revealing any flaws in his plan.
"What, are you addicted to putting on airs?" Meng Qi was dressed as a eunuch, but his posture was extremely arrogant.
Shang Xiye's heart skipped a beat, and he instantly understood: this little eunuch was probably the demon directly connected to Shang Dongyang, and given the eunuch's arrogant attitude, Shang Dongyang probably had little dignity in front of him.
But it's impossible for him, the dignified Ninth Prince, to bow and scrape before this demon.
“Normally, it’s just another day. Today’s occasion is different. There are many people around, so it’s better to be cautious.” Shang Xiye’s tone softened slightly, but his face remained calm and expressionless.
In that instant, Meng Qi suddenly realized that his good-for-nothing son wasn't entirely useless; at least he was quite reliable in crucial moments.
So he nodded and said, “It’s rare that you can distinguish between what’s important and what’s not; you’re right, there are many people around today, and the Ninth Prince will definitely not let it go. He will definitely send people to cause trouble. I have to go out and keep an eye on things myself. If anything goes wrong here, just call for help. The people accompanying you outside were all arranged by me personally. As long as you make a sound, they will come to protect you immediately.”
Shang Xiye nodded slightly to indicate that she understood, but did not say anything.
He was secretly shocked: this guy called himself "father" in front of Shang Dongyang, which meant that he was Di Kanlong.
Unexpectedly, Shang Xiche's willingness to sacrifice himself in the Cuiwei Snowfield last time failed to completely eliminate Di Kanlong.
Dikanlong still has a fragment of his soul still alive!
It's clear that these monsters are truly like centipedes, hard to kill even when dead; they are incredibly difficult to deal with!
Meng Qi turned and left Shang Xiye's room, feeling that his good-for-nothing son was a bit strange.
But he wasn't a good father.
It was only recently, when Shang Dongyang took the initiative to approach him, that he had more contact with his good-for-nothing son and didn't really know Shang Dongyang.
"No, just to be on the safe side, I still have to test him," Meng Qi muttered to himself as he turned around, still uneasy.
Most of the people in the Nine Kings are spiritual practitioners.
If the Shang Dongyang in the room is fake, then the spiritual power that the spiritual cultivator possesses will inevitably erode each other when it encounters demonic energy.
Shang Dongyang has been spending a lot of time with him lately, and he has also taught Shang Dongyang some methods of using demons to sustain his life.
If the Shang Dongyang in the room is real, he will not only be unharmed by the demonic energy, but the demonic energy he encounters will also become nourishment for him.
Thinking this, Meng Qi gathered a wisp of demonic energy at his fingertips and was about to flick it towards Shang Xiye's vest inside the room.
The disguised Wu Shang was near the entrance, clearly observing Meng Qi's actions.
To prevent Shang Xiye's identity from being exposed, Wu Shang quickly sent a secret telepathic message, instructing Hu Ji, who was lurking near Ji Fengyao, to reveal his whereabouts and attract the enemy.
Hu Ji immediately pretended to sneak into Ji Fengyao's residence when no one was paying attention.
A demonic cultivator guarding near Ji Fengyao's residence immediately stepped forward and blocked his way, asking sharply, "Who goes there!"
Hu Ji's appearance was originally intended to incite war.
Upon seeing someone blocking his way, he immediately pretended to be exposed and turned to run away.
It was originally a temporary residence built for the emperor and empress, and the two places were not far apart.
Hearing the commotion, Meng Qi turned around and saw Hu Ji trying to escape.
