The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

Chapter 1024: The secret of keeping youth, the old man is young

Wei Bo suddenly thought of another side of it.

However, the princess probably doesn't care about these trivial matters. Most of the matters in Yueguilou are handled by a special shopkeeper. Besides, the storyteller always talks about the hot topics in the capital.

Wei Bai was so confused that he got into a dead end again. Du Ziheng, who was standing next to him, saw that Wei Bai was getting stuck in a dead end again. He elbowed Wei Bai and he immediately came to his senses.

Who cares? Just spread the news. The more lively the better! Besides, the lobby of the Princess's Laurel Building is usually very lively, filled with the conversations of people from all walks of life, not to mention the hot topics in the capital, but also other topics from all over the country.

The lobby is a major address for the princess to collect information, so of course he has to provide the princess with more sources of information to collect and topics that can spark heated discussions among the public.

Ye Xiaohan didn't look at Wei Bai, and had no time or intention to pay much attention to the thoughts in Wei Bai's mind.

He flipped through another official document and changed the subject to the matter of Pavilion Master Qian. He first told the order he gave to the guards this morning, and then continued to analyze Pavilion Master Qian.

It was only in the past ten days or so that he had someone pass on the news about the young master that Pavilion Master Qian had a big reaction. He also showed that he was very concerned about the young master's affairs and could not wait to invite Youming Jiuchong to meet him.

"This morning, a secret guard passed on a message that the Soul Stealing Yuanxi Pavilion is closed to the public today. It seems that they are hosting a reception for some important person."

"What does your Highness mean?" Wei Bai's eyes lit up.

"I'm going out for a walk." Ye Xiaohan said calmly. He wasn't going to formally meet Pavilion Master Qian, he just wanted to take a casual walk around the Soul Stealer Yuanxi's attic.

He had been to Biluoxuesha several times and was very familiar with the routes nearby. After all, he had also dismantled Biluoxuesha's attic several times.

But as for the Soul-Snatching Yuanxi, he had not even walked through the several roads and paths leading to the Soul-Snatching Yuanxi.

Ye Xiaohan said in a cold voice: "Why not, I will go for a walk now."

"What about the princess?" Du Ziheng asked quickly.

"You are working for the princess in the mansion." Just as the words fell, a gust of wind blew past.

The Night King has disappeared before his eyes.

Wei Bai and Du Ziheng were dumbfounded. They looked at each other in a daze for a long while.

Another gust of wind blew, and Wei Bai was dragged out by someone holding the collar on the back of his neck.

A man in black, wearing an ordinary bamboo hat, was incredibly strong. Wei Bai was being dragged by him like a dead pig.

Wei Bai cried out, "Prince, can you be a little gentler?"

"Shut up." The impatient voice replied.

It is not yet noon and the morning market in the capital is already bustling.

At the end of a long street, a tall attic stands here. A plaque hangs on the side of the first-floor door, which reads "Closed Today".

The long streets below the attic were bustling with people, but the long street where the attic was located was relatively quiet, with fewer people walking around than the streets in the center of the capital.

Not far from the attic, there are several five-story buildings.

In one of the teahouses, two men in bamboo hats were looking out the window. The direction they were looking at was exactly the loft of Soul Stealer Yuanxi.

The door there was tightly closed, and occasionally a group of men in black would come in and out. Those men in black were the killers of the Soul-Taker Yuanxi.

Both men held a binocular object in their hands. They put the object in front of their eyes and slightly adjusted the mechanism on the side of the object.

Soon, the two of them could clearly see the scene in the attic opposite.

"Amazing! The telescope the princess gave me is so useful!"

"quiet."

The two were the Night King and Wei Bai. They just shuttled through the crowd and took a short walk near the Soul Reaper Kite. The location of the Soul Reaper Kite was quiet in the midst of the hustle and bustle. The specific landing point was not particularly remote, but it was not very prosperous either.

Ye Xiaohan could clearly see the Soul-Snatching Tower on the opposite street through the military telescope given by Yun Mujiu.

At the top of the attic, which is the corridor on the 20th floor, a group of people gathered.

A group of people lowered their heads, and a man in white clothes in front of the white jade railing seemed to be saying something to them.

From Ye Xiaohan and Wei Bai’s perspective, they could see the back of the man in white.

But fortunately, the group of people was facing the man in white, so Ye Xiaohan and Wei Bai were still able to see the general appearance of the group of people.

Even the people from the Soul-Snatching Yuanxi had not expected that there were people on such a high floor who could actually see their figures and their expressions clearly. This was simply beyond belief.

Ye Xiaohan recognized a man in the crowd as Duan Yi. Wei Bai said, "As the prince expected, Soul Stealer is closed today to receive guests."

"It's more like a lecture than a reception," Ye Xiaohan said calmly.

"Your Majesty, that man in white looks like a young man. Could he be the leader of the Soul Stealer Yuanxi?"

"About that."

"But it is said that the current Pavilion Master of the Soul-stealing Yuanxi has been in office for more than 30 years. Does this young man's age match that of the old Pavilion Master?" Wei Bai was very puzzled. He could see clearly through the telescope that the man had black hair, and his figure and skin were like a young man in his twenties.

"Some people don't look their age." Ye Xiaohan said to Wei Bai with rare patience.

"It's unbelievable. An old man still looks so young, is he a ghost?"

Wei Bai's answer was silence, and Ye Xiaohan continued to look at the situation on the top of the attic.

At this time, the man in white turned around and leaned on the railing to look at the houses and streets below.

In a blink of an eye, his eyes subconsciously looked towards the restaurant across the street.

Wei Bai squatted down quickly, while Ye Xiaohan held the telescope without changing his position. He knew that at such a long distance, coupled with the height difference between the restaurant and the attic, the people on the top floor of the attic would not be able to see him due to their limited vision. Even if they could see, they would not be able to see clearly. No one's eyesight could reach such a high level.

Sure enough, the man in white just glanced at the restaurant for a few seconds and then looked elsewhere.

When Ye Xiaohan saw his handsome face, his eyes darkened slightly.

The man in white pointed lightly at the central streets below and was saying something to Special Envoy Duan and others.

Seeing that he was not discovered, Wei Bai quickly stood up. Ye Xiaohan raised his eyebrows slightly and thought: "He is referring to Mu Jiu's shop."

Then, he said quietly: "It seems that the unknown force of Cha Mujiu in the past few days was instigated by Pavilion Master Qian..."

In the past three days, his people noticed that a force was looking for news about him and Yun Mujiu in the city, especially focusing on Yun Mujiu's past news. In addition, a small group of people went to the Herb Hall to buy medicine and see a doctor, seemingly waiting for Yun Mujiu to appear in front of them.

Wei Bai was stunned and subconsciously thought: Could it be that the prince’s new rival in love has arrived?

Ye Xiaohan didn't know how stupid Wei Bai was. He glanced at him indifferently and stared at the lip movements of the man in white and Duan Yi.

He could roughly guess what the two were saying through lip reading.

He said: "The man in white is indeed Pavilion Master Qian."

A man who was said to be in his fifties now looked just like a young man. Although it could be said that he had the secret to maintaining his youthful appearance, under this handsome scholar's face, there was still a hint of hostility and old age hidden between his brows.

There seems to be something wrong with Pavilion Master Qian...
