Hearing the words of the woman in the green dress, the woman in white clothes pure as snow finally showed a trace of reaction. Her delicate hand slowly set down the porcelain cup before her, revealing an elegant and refined face.
Her dark eyebrows were like smoke. She gently raised her eyes to look at the woman in the green dress and the two people behind her, her voice indifferent, "You say you're from Six Doors, so you must know 'Jade-Faced Thousand Palms' Ji Feiyun."
Hearing this, the woman in the green dress looked her over and nodded, "Constable Ji is one of Six Doors' main office's ten great constables. We naturally know him. Could it be that Miss has a past relationship with Constable Ji?"
The woman in white didn't answer. Instead, she suddenly changed the topic, "I can testify for you, but I have one condition. You must have Ji Feiyun co here to see ."
The woman in the green dress frowned and slowly shook her head, "If Miss is willing to testify, we'd be very grateful. But for such a small matter, we shouldn't need to trouble Constable Ji to make a personal trip, right?"
However, just as her words fell, the youth with the gloomy expression behind her suddenly shouted, "Ning'er, watch out!"
In an instant, a piercing chanical sound rang out. Several black arrows shot out from the youth's wrist with whooshing sounds through the air.
Transforming into shadows, they passed the woman in the green dress and pierced into the ice crystals radiating threads of cold air that had sohow appeared before her.
A thunderous sound of tal clashing rang out in the air. Several arrows blocked the ice crystals' montum, montarily freezing them in mid-air, rapidly spinning.
At this ti, the woman in white's voice drifted over lightly, "Not a bad reaction, but your martial Dao realm is too poor."
Having said this, she flicked the porcelain cup with her finger. The tea water inside suddenly vaporized into frost, wrapped in a biting cold wind sweeping toward the three people.
Guo Ning'er, the gloomy youth Zhou Chuan, and the large man all showed drastically changed expressions, "Ice true qi, a Martial Dao Master!"
The three wanted to retreat imdiately, but the cold wind before them ca too urgently and quickly. In the blink of an eye, it enveloped them.
The bone-chilling cold invaded their bodies, freezing the ridians and blood qi within, making them unable to move anymore, frozen stiffly in place.
For a mont, a layer of white frost visibly ford on the three people's eyebrows and hair. They looked like human-shaped ice sculptures.
At this ti, the previous fight had already attracted quite a few restaurant custors to the doorway, all curiously watching the situation inside the private room.
But the woman in white acted as if she hadn't seen them. She filled her porcelain cup with tea water, her gaze glancing toward the five people including Zhang He leaning against the wall, "Which of you will make a trip? Go call that Ji Feiyun here."
Hearing this, Zhang He nervously swallowed and was preparing to say he would go.
The woman before them had profound martial arts. Whether friend or foe was unknown. Naturally, he wanted to leave this troubleso place as quickly as possible.
However, at this ti, the woman in white suddenly pointed at the man in green clothes, "You then. Go quickly and return quickly. I'll give you the ti it takes for an incense stick to burn."
The man in green clothes was slightly stunned. He glanced at Zhang He, then gave him an almost imperceptible nod, but didn't say anything more and directly left the private room.
...
At the sa ti, next door to the private room where Zhang He's group was located, Li Musheng was pricking up his ears, listening with great interest to the situation beside him.
At this ti, Cang Yinyue's figure drifted in from the window and sat down directly at the table.
She glanced at the wooden wall next door and sneered, "That woman is really putting on airs."
Hearing this, Li Musheng turned back to look at her, stroking his chin.
Fortunately, the man had kicked the other wooden wall just now. If he had kicked this side, perhaps the one showing off now would be him.
"Miss Cang, could it be you know that woman?"
Seeing that Cang Yinyue seed sowhat unfriendly in tone, Li Musheng imdiately showed a suspicious expression.
"Naturally I know her. Her father is a Divine Constable, her mother is the sect master of Flying Snow Sect. Her background is quite significant."
Cang Yinyue poured herself a cup of tea and took a light sip. However, she didn't continue on this topic. Instead, she said, "I've already reported your situation. For the next few days, you'll need to temporarily stay in one place."
"Aurora Pavilion?"
Cang Yinyue nodded, "Right now, all the people claiming to be the Seventh Prince are inside. The palace finds investigating them one by one too troubleso, so they'll conduct a concentrated screening of everyone six days from now."
Hearing this, Li Musheng spread his hands, indicating he didn't care.
In any case, he wasn't too invested in this matter. The only thing he cared about was pursuing martial Dao transcendence. Coming to Shangyang City was just to travel around and incidentally "broaden his horizons."
"However, if I go to Aurora Pavilion, how should I contact you in the future?"
"If there's sothing, I'll find you directly. If you have sothing, just co to this restaurant. I'll naturally co find you then." Cang Yinyue's voice was cold.
Li Musheng raised his eyebrows slightly.
Dealing with people from the Hidden Intelligence Bureau had this problem—hiding and sneaking around like underground organization agents making contact.
Of course, if he really wanted to find her, it actually wasn't difficult.
Previously, when Li Musheng observed the scholar executing the Formless Puppet Technique, although he couldn't obtain the complete technique.
With his heaven-defying comprehension, he had comprehended a minor martial art in these past few days.
At this ti, there was an invisible true qi thread on Cang Yinyue's body controlled by him. As long as she didn't leave too great a distance from him, he could use this to find her.
Thinking this, Li Musheng didn't forget to remind her, "Miss Cang, don't forget the second condition you promised —help search for the keys to that Great Qi Secret Treasury. Half-hearted efforts don't count."
Hearing this, Cang Yinyue's eyes twitched as she snorted coldly, "Your mindset is quite good. You still have the mood to think about such ethereal things now?"
Saying this, her gaze darkened as she solemnly warned again, "Aurora Pavilion has Tianjin Guards guarding it day and night. With your strength, staying there shouldn't be too much of a problem."
"However, you must rember what I said before. Before your prince identity is recognized by His Majesty, rember not to expose your true strength. This could very likely bring disaster upon you."
Li Musheng took a sip of tea and nodded casually, "Don't worry, I definitely have my limits."
Cang Yinyue glanced at him. Without saying anything more, she stood up, "I'll take you to Aurora Pavilion."
However, just at this ti, the clattering sound of horse hooves ca from far to near, suddenly stopping before the restaurant.
A group of constables wearing dark robes with blades at their waists leaped from their horses. In the blink of an eye, they surrounded the entire restaurant.
Leading them was a youth constable with an upright bearing, wearing black brocade robes and sitting upright on a fine tall horse.
His facial features were distinct, his sword-like eyebrows slanting into his temples. A pair of sharp eyes swept over the restaurant before him.
The next mont, his entire person leaped up lightly as if treading on floating wind, like a flying swan goose, flashing in through an open window.
However, when he saw the people inside the window, he exclaid in surprise, "Constable Cang, why are you here?"
