Evil Master and Disciple

After finishing the video call with Ling Yunzhi, Ye Feng contacted Ling Yunzhi’s ancestor Zhang Qingyun.

After a few breaths, Zhang Qingyun's wretched face appeared in the Lingyin Realm.

Zhang Qingyun said, "You are the one, you little brat. I am drinking with Lao Chan and Miss Xiao Li. If you have anything to say, tell me now."

"Ah, you seniors are so elegant. Well, Senior Qingyun, I'll cut to the chase. I know you have a lot of Chaos Divine Spring in your hometown. Could you give me some? I don't want much, just sixteen drops will do!"

"Isn't it eight drops?" Zhang Qingyun asked suspiciously.

Ye Feng was startled and asked, "You...how do you know?"

Zhang Qingyun laughed and said, "This immortal is very good at fortune-telling. When we first met, I told your fortune in the Yunhai Sect's ancestral temple. Have you forgotten?"

Ye Fengxin thinks he is a big-headed ghost.

When it comes to fortune-telling, Ye Feng knows that Zhang Qingyun is an old liar.

Ye Feng said: "Senior, I need sixteen drops. Of course, if you can give me a bottle, that would be fine too."

"Brother Ye, the eight drops of holy water you owed our family have already been repaid by Old Master Qingyun."

Eunuch Luan's vile and sinister voice suddenly came from the spiritual sound mirror.

Ye Feng was startled and said, "Brother Luan? You're here too? You... betrayed me!"

Originally, only he, Eunuch Luan, and his adoptive father knew about the theft of the imperial seal.

Now, the whole world knows!

I haven't had time to use the imperial seal to charge the magic pen and inkstone!

Eunuch Luan's voice came again, saying, "There's nothing we can do. Stealing the Imperial Seal is a huge undertaking. We're worried you can't handle it, so we've informed Senior Sword God and Old Man Qingyun. With these two seniors backing you up, you can keep the Imperial Seal for yourself."

"Ah? The ancestor knew about this, but didn't let me return the imperial seal immediately?"

Dugu Chan's voice came, saying, "Young man Ye, didn't you leave a jade seal of the state in the palace?"

When Ye Feng heard Dugu Chan's words, he was shocked again.

This old man actually didn't object to me replacing the imperial seal?

But after being surprised, Ye Feng was delighted. He had been thinking about charging the magic pen and inkstone quickly, and then returning the imperial seal as soon as possible.

Now that the ancestors know about this, I don’t have to rush to return it.

Even if the truth comes out, the royal family and Confucianism will not be able to trace him back.

The eunuch Luan, who held the seal, had died in the turmoil in the capital.

Who would have known that the imperial seal was replaced by himself?

In fact, Ye Feng still thought too simply.

If Confucians wanted to investigate, it would be quite simple.

Because he was too clever for his own good, the fake imperial seal he left behind was made of the same material as the real one.

Those two pieces of Tianshan raw stones had been circulating in the capital for many years and finally fell into the hands of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Due to the special nature of the material, no one dared to buy those two pieces of Tianshan raw stones and they had been kept in the jade shop opened by the Crown Prince.

Until recently, Ye Feng spent one million taels to buy it.

If Confucians discovered that the imperial seal had been replaced, they would investigate based on the quality of the jade of the fake seal and they would be certain of the truth.

But now it seems that none of these things matter.

Zhang Qingyun said, "I've already paid your debt. I'll hang up first. We're still drinking."

"No, no, you helped me pay back the debt I owed Brother Luan, but I still owe Miss Mozhu. The holy water I gave to my adoptive father was stolen from Mozhu... I borrowed it by force. I said I would return it to her.

I, Ye Feng, always keep my word. I never lie to anyone, not even to ghosts. Senior Qingyun, please lend me a few drops of divine water... I owe you a favor."

Zhang Qingyun turned his head and looked to the side, not knowing who he was looking at.

His intuition told him that the person Zhang Qingyun turned to look at at this moment should be the ancestor Dugu.

After a moment, Zhang Qingyun said, "You are a man of your word. Just for that, I will lend you a few drops of the holy water. Where are you now? At the Rulin Inn or in the Imperial City?"

"Rulin Inn."

"Well, I'll ask your adoptive father to bring the holy water back to you."

"Thank you, Senior Qingyun! I owe you a favor! If you encounter any problems in the martial arts world in the future, just mention my name, Ye Feng, and it will help!"

"Haha, you're such a shameless brat! But I like it!"

Amidst Zhang Qingyun's obscene laughter, the two ended the video call.

Ye Feng reviewed the content of the conversation in his mind.

Then he took out the imperial seal wrapped in yellow cloth from the black silk bracelet.

Untying the golden silk cloth, Ye Feng carefully held up the imperial seal with both hands.

It looks like it is carved out of pure jade. Holding it in your hand feels like holding a piece of stone, and it is quite heavy.

Looking at the eight large characters carved on it, "Mandate from Heaven, Live Long and Prosper", Ye Feng couldn't help but grin.

He murmured, "It seems that this is indeed the destiny for me. Should I unify the world and become the true king of this world?!"

Just as he was fantasizing, the door was suddenly pushed open.

Ye Feng was so frightened that he almost dropped the imperial seal to the ground.

Ye Feng quickly held the imperial seal tightly in his arms and looked at Su Daji who broke in.

He shouted, "Daji, you are truly a disaster to the country and the people. You destroyed King Zhou's kingdom, and you almost destroyed my kingdom too... Next time you come in, remember to knock on the door."

Su Daji blinked her big eyes and looked at Ye Feng holding a seal with a puzzled look.

"Brother Feng, what are you talking about? I don't understand a single word you say. What treasure are you holding in your arms? Let me see!"

Ye Feng quickly put the imperial seal into the black silk bracelet and said, "What are you looking at? Don't you know that the harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs? Why did you rush in here in such a hurry?"

"Um, I came to tell you that Ling Yunzhi and his junior sister are here..."

"Ah? He arrived so soon? Could this guy have just called me from the video call standing at the entrance of the Rulin Inn?"

Ye Feng muttered in his heart.

Then he said, "Daji, let the Young Pavilion Master come in directly. Also, next time you come in, knock on the door first!"

"Got it! Brother Feng, you're acting strangely today. Are you possessed by Mo Zhu? That's not right. Mo Zhu is in the courtyard..."

Su Daji shook her head and left the room with a suspicious look on her face.

In less than half a minute, Ling Yunzhi, who was dressed in green and had a handsome appearance but a slightly dark skin, walked into the room.

"Old Ye, I didn't take a close look last time I came here. I just took a look and the environment of this Rulin Inn is really nice. It's much better than the shabby place I live in. Are there any vacancies here? My junior sister and I also want to live here."

"Yes, the bamboo garden next door is very big. Only Senior Sister An and Sister Chuchu live there. You can move in anytime."

"Okay, I'll ask my junior sister to get two rooms..."

"Don't just think about moving in. You said in the Spiritual Sound Mirror that you had something important to talk to me about. What is it?"

The smile on Ling Yunzhi's face suddenly faded, and he closed the door casually and said, "Is there a soundproof barrier in this room?"
