Chapter 408 Taking a Step Back, Yu Li is Approaching (Part 2)

Is Professor Yu Lizi coming?
Upon hearing the news of the Yin-Yang Dharma King, Su Che was immediately overjoyed.

If the teacher were to arrive, let alone Yu Chen or Da Jiang Alliance, even if Bai Lu Dong came up together, what would I, Su, have to fear?

It's a contest of who gets photographed and who gets photographed.

One Yu Lizi isn't enough, we can also bring in our ancestor Huang Tiandao. If you're powerful enough, you can send my entire Huang Tiandao family away in one piece.

There must be no mistake about the news from the Yin-Yang Dharma King.

Su Che knew that this senior had always had his sources of information.

When the Yin-Yang Realm shattered, one of the six Ghost Generals, Sikong Tu, rebelled, and Bai Hejiao left. However, the remaining four have been completely missing ever since.

With so many years of accumulation, the Yin-Yang Dharma King would never be reduced to a solitary figure.

In fact, judging from the situation of the person who presided over the Zhongshan meeting, there were many things that he himself did not know.

For example, where is the reincarnation of the Yin-Yang Dharma King now, and who takes care of him usually?

We are allies, but more like master and apprentice.

There are some things that the Yin-Yang Dharma King is unwilling to mention, so Su Che naturally won't ask.

This is the trust between each other.

Therefore, the Yin-Yang Dharma King's statement that Yu Lizi is about to emerge from seclusion should be accurate.

"It would be so awkward to meet him."

The Yin-Yang Dharma King put a piece of mutton into his mouth: "I'll go lay low for a while, and we'll talk about the rest after things have calmed down."

Su Che nodded.

With Yu Lizi's arrival, the matter of his family becoming disciples of Huang Tiandao was put on the right track. He had to go to the mountain gate to pay respects to the patriarch and make various requests.

In terms of seniority, the Yin-Yang Dharma King is naturally of the same generation as Yu Lizi.

Huang Tiandao was on equal footing with the Five Emperors of the Five Directions, and together they built an ancient heavenly court.

Yin Yang Dharma King is considered a disciple of the Black Emperor, while Yu Lizi is a disciple of the Yellow Heaven Daoist Master. Neither of them gives way to the other.

Ke Yulizi is a newly enlightened immortal, and is the most courageous and diligent in his progress. On the other hand, Yin Yang Dharma King has been stuck in the fourth-grade Void Step realm for many years, and is known as "a Yin spirit who is difficult to become a saint after countless eons".

From this perspective, even without being stuck in the middle, the Yin-Yang Dharma King was still quite awkward with Yu Lizi.

It's like a perpetual repeater encountering someone who skips grades.

"Don't worry, senior, I will make sure everything is arranged properly."

Su Che reassured the Yin-Yang Dharma King, "It's just Yinghai Tower, as long as you're happy, Senior."

The Yin-Yang Dharma King nodded and exhaled a breath of turbid air.

"These days, girls have so many tricks up their sleeves. If you're feeling lonely, Su boy, why don't you..."

Su Che stretched out a hand.

"No, senior, please use this first. I have other things to do."

Just kidding. It's not easy to fool the little fox in the first place. If he gets caught red-handed, even if Su Che can save face, his conscience won't be able to hold up.

Sigh, it was all consensual, a fair transaction where you paid for and I provided the service, so why should I feel guilty?

While preparing himself mentally, Su Che bid farewell to the Yin-Yang Dharma King and headed straight for the Cizhou Imperial Censorate.

The subtle fluctuations of the battle taking place on the walls of Cizhou City could not be hidden from those who were paying attention.

In a small courtyard in Cizhou City, Wang Jian sat listlessly on a stone bench. Around him, banana trees were lush and green, orchids were blooming with white stamens, and a faint fragrance permeated the air.

The young and proud member of the Langya Wang clan was ashen-faced, but he simply sat there quietly, looking at the teacup in his hand.

Opposite him sat a woman dressed as a man, engrossed in reading a novel.

Who else could it be but Madam Xie?
The novel was written in a way that made Madam Xie smile for a moment, then she took out a candied fruit from the side and put it in her mouth.

The maid Zhu'er beside him glared at Wang Jian, as if she were looking at something dirty.

"Oh my, I never imagined there were so many interesting stories between men. The story of the homosexual couple is indeed very interesting." Madam Xie put the book in her hand aside.

"The books my husband sent are all very interesting. I'm just afraid that all the men in the world are so loving and affectionate that they've neglected us girls."

"As long as Madam likes it."

Wang Jian spoke calmly, but his eyes were fixed on the sky above.

"Is something on your mind, my lord?"

"It seemed like there was a fight going on in the sky just now..."

Wang Jian looked at Madam Xie as if she were a venomous snake, his eyes filled with undisguised wariness.

"Ah, up there, Su Che just fought someone and killed a Core Formation cultivator."

Madam Xie rested her chin on her hand and her elbow on the stone table.

"My lord, you still need to cultivate diligently, otherwise you'll forever remain a spectator hiding in the gutter..."

"This time, we failed to obtain the title of Prince of Wuling and also lost a team of men, which has caused great dissatisfaction within the family."

Wang Jian looked at Madam Xie and said, "I wonder where the Prince of Wuling is now. What if the Emperor takes him back..."

"It must be in Su Che's hands."

Madam Xie smiled as she breathed in the faint fragrance of orchids in the air.

"If the Prince of Wuling were in the Emperor's hands, would my husband still speak to me like this?"

Wang Jian did not reply.

The Wang and Xie families are already too deeply entangled; there's no turning back.

"The Emperor specifically requested to see you; the Censorate, the Night Watch..."

"The Imperial Guards weren't mobilized?"

Madam Xie raised an eyebrow.

"Do you think the emperor can still trust the Su family of Duling?"

A hint of sarcasm flashed across Wang Jian's lips.

My wife is so clever that she habitually treats everyone else as fools.

"If the Crown Prince believes it, then that's fine. Hasn't that old Su been working seamlessly with the Crown Prince all these years?"

Lady Xie looked at Wang Jian and said, "Wealth brings trouble, and longevity brings humiliation. His Majesty is rich in the world and has lived such a long life, which is a bit troublesome. But since the emperor wants an explanation, we will give him one."

"Explain?"

Wang Jian looked at Madam Xie coldly and said, "Madam, would you like to make some soup again and invite Su Che to taste it, and then have him escort the Prince of Wuling out?"

“My husband is putting himself in others’ shoes; not all men in the world are like you.”

Madam Xie smiled slightly, but her eyes were fixed on Zhu'er beside her.

"Since the emperor wants a Prince of Wuling, let's just give him a Prince of Wuling in return."

Wang Jian followed her gaze to the maid on the other side.

Zhu'er?

Indeed, for a primordial alien species like Zhu Yan, disguise and transformation are nothing more than a trivial matter that can be done with ease.

But a mere Zhu Yan (a type of mythical creature) thought it could deceive the world and the emperor who never tolerated a single flaw...

When did my "wife" start having such wild ideas?

"Isn't Madam's thinking a bit too simplistic?"

Wang Jian looked at Madam Xie: "Not to mention His Majesty, even the palace servants would probably only need to glance at him..."

"My husband only needs to send a message back. As for how to make Zhu'er the Prince of Wuling, that is naturally a matter for me to worry about."
