C138 A strange thing happened again

After the Second Prince and Su Xie left one after the other, Zhao Mingzhe fell into deep thought. Originally, when the Second Prince suddenly mentioned the green fruit sariras, Zhao Mingzhe had thought that the Second Prince was just dozing off, and someone had already sent him a pillow. However, because of what Su Xie had said, Zhao Mingzhe was somewhat hesitant in his heart.

Seeing Zhao Mingzhe keep his head down in deep thought, Ye Minghua finally couldn't help but say:

"Are you thinking about the green fruit sariras?"

Zhao Mingzhe was interrupted by Ye Minghua from his deep thoughts.

"That's right. I really want to go to the Night City for a walk. If I find the green fruit sariras, I would be able to dispel the inner demons. Let's not talk about whether or not Senior Brother Wu Cong's injuries can be cured. "

Ye Minghua's eyes lit up, and said:

"Is it because Wu Cong's injuries have healed that you don't have to become a monk just because you want to take over as the host?"

"I originally didn't want to accept the host's seat either. If I could use the Green Fruit Shale to heal Senior Brother Wu Cong's injuries, it would of course be a good thing."

"Yeah, I understand. There's nothing good about being a monk anyway. Although I live in the Imperial City all year long, the Night City is still my fiefdom. Every year, I will return there once, and I am very familiar with that place.

"No need, I'll go by myself."

"It's fine, I told you already, that's my feudal fiefdom. Originally, I had to go back every year, but I didn't have the time to go with you this year. Didn't I save you all the trouble of being under guard?"

Seeing Ye Minghua's determined expression, Zhao Mingzhe did not oppose any further. After pondering for a moment, he opened his mouth and said:

"That's fine too, but for this matter, the faster we leave, the better. I just don't know if you …"

"I'll go back and explain, then we'll head to the Night City. We definitely won't hold you up."

Zhao Mingzhe did not expect Ye Minghua to be so straightforward, and immediately, the two went back the way they came, without any problems.

However, when the two of them approached the center of the imperial city, Zhao Mingzhe could faintly see a familiar figure approaching them. Even from a distance, Zhao Mingzhe was still able to recognize with a glance that the white-clothed woman was indeed the magnificent Ye Jinxuan of his generation.

Almost subconsciously, Zhao Mingzhe pulled Ye Minghua's wrist, hid in the shadows at the side, and then made a hand gesture for Ye Minghua to keep quiet.

Although Ye Minghua felt it was strange, he obediently didn't make any sound. He even used a crystal clear palm to cover his mouth.

After Ye Jinxuan's figure gradually walked far away, Zhao Mingzhe finally signaled to Ye Minghua that he was fine. Ye Minghua asked in confusion.

"Did something happen just now?"

"Oh, I felt like someone was following us, but I think I was wrong. Oh yeah, I suddenly remembered that I need to go back to North Zen. After three hours, we'll meet back at this place, okay? "

"That's fine, but you have to wait for me. You can't go back on your word. If you leave, you won't be coming anymore."

Zhao Mingzhe agreed, and then promised solemnly, before turning around and leaving.

Frowning, Zhao Mingzhe thought in his heart. When Ye Jinxuan just passed by, she looked anxious, as if something urgent had happened. If she followed now, maybe she could find an opportunity to kill Ye Jinxuan and avenge Phoenix Cry Sect.

Because Xiao Meng was here, it did not waste too much time, and she already determined the route Ye Jinxuan would take. However, because she was worried that the Ghost Shadow Guard, whose strength was extremely high, would follow Ye Jinxuan, Zhao Mingzhe did not dare to follow too closely.

After following for around an hour, the surroundings seemed somewhat remote. Through Xiao Meng, Zhao Mingzhe determined that Ye Jinxuan had entered a quiet and small courtyard.

After looking at the distance, Zhao Mingzhe jumped onto a large tree and looked into the small courtyard.

Due to the distance, Zhao Mingzhe could not hear anything from the courtyard, but he could see more than ten people gathered in the courtyard. Amongst them, there were two who looked like doctors, and the others were all cultivators.

Just as Zhao Mingzhe was feeling a little suspicious as to where Ye Jinxuan was, he coincidentally saw Ye Jinxuan walking out of a room. Faintly, Zhao Mingzhe saw a layer of frost covering Ye Jinxuan's impeccably beautiful face.

In the past, Ye Jinxuan's expression was always ice-cold, but it had never been as cold as it was today.

Just as Zhao Mingzhe was thinking it was strange, he saw that Ye Jinxuan had said something, and all of the cultivators in the courtyard kneeled down.

Next, seven or eight cultivators pulled out their short swords at the same time. With a flash of cold light, their left hands were cut off by themselves, and blood splattered all over the ground.

The two doctors in the courtyard were so scared that they couldn't even stand straight, while the cultivators who had self-mutilated while brandishing their swords could only grit their teeth and not make a sound.

Ye Jinxuan remained silent and turned to hurriedly leave the courtyard. Zhao Mingzhe was a little shocked in his heart. If he had not seen it with his own eyes, Zhao Mingzhe would never have thought that Ye Jinxuan would have that cold side of him.

However, Zhao Mingzhe immediately thought that he should have already known that Ye Jinxuan was a heartless person. Otherwise, Ye Jinxuan would not have sold out the entire Phoenix Cry Sect and let tens of thousands of Phoenix Cry Sect disciples die instantly.

Thinking up to this point, the killing intent towards Ye Jinxuan grew even stronger. However, Zhao Mingzhe faintly felt that Ye Jinxuan was accompanied by that Ghastly Shadow guard, and he barely managed to suppress the urge to attack.

After a short while, the courtyard had been cleaned up. Those people started to leave one by one, leaving no one behind. All the doors to the courtyard were locked.

After hiding in the tree for a while, making sure that no one discovered him, Zhao Mingzhe carefully made his way to the courtyard.

Pushing open the door to the room Ye Jinxuan just entered, Zhao Mingzhe first smelt a faint medicinal smell. Thinking of the two doctors he saw in the dark, Zhao Mingzhe felt that this should be the place where someone recuperated from their injuries.

Just as Zhao Mingzhe was feeling alarmed, Xiao Meng who was in her sleeve suddenly ran to the roof of the room and kept on hissing at Zhao Mingzhe.

Zhao Mingzhe's heart was startled, he thought that Xiao Meng found some sort of accident, but after waiting for a while, there was nothing abnormal. Zhao Mingzhe looked at him suspiciously, but Zhao Mingzhe was still unable to understand what he wanted to say.

After looking around for a while, Zhao Mingzhe left the room, while the adorable Xiao Meng still didn't seem willing to leave. In the end, when Zhao Mingzhe insisted on leaving, Xiao Meng released a "ji" sound of dissatisfaction and followed him out of the courtyard.

As Zhao Mingzhe walked towards the appointed place with Ye Minghua, he secretly thought to himself that Xiao Meng's previous appearance seemed to have discovered a familiar smell.

Just that, according to Zhao Mingzhe's judgement just now, that room was supposed to be used for the rest to recuperate from their injuries. Furthermore, based on the experience obtained from investigations in his previous life, the injured person was most likely a woman.

After thinking for a long time, Zhao Mingzhe still did not manage to understand what he just saw. Just as he was about to leave the place faster, Zhao Mingzhe suddenly felt goosebumps all over his back.

At this time, Xiao Meng, who was inside her sleeve, had already let out a "ji" sound as a warning. Zhao Mingzhe immediately reacted, behind him, there was someone who wanted to ambush and assassinate him …
