The next day, just as dawn was breaking, the morning light gently shone on the window lattices of the study. Inside, Li Xingyun sat at his desk, on which lay several letters of news from other royal palaces.

His eyes slowly swept across the handwriting, and a hint of surprise first flashed across his originally calm face. Then, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and a smile gradually spread in his eyes. Finally, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Hahaha...this is really too much of a fuss!" The hearty and unrestrained laughter echoed in the quiet study, as if to sweep away the dullness of the early morning.

Recalling the scene in the palaces last night, it was nothing short of a chaotic farce. After returning home, the princes, like frightened birds, immediately ordered a thorough search of the palaces from top to bottom.

They didn't spare any corner or anyone, and locked up all those they thought might be the work of the bad guys without any distinction. For a time, the whole palace was in chaos, the servants were panicked, the maids were terrified, and the whole palace was like a hornet's nest that had been poked.

Actually, it's no wonder they're so cautious. After all, what happened to Li Xingfan was truly horrifying. That once awe-inspiring figure, under the tactics of the Bad People, instantly became utterly dejected, like a lamb to the slaughter.

Such a scene was like a thorn that pierced deeply into the hearts of the princes, making them restless day and night.

The mysterious organization, the Bad People, was also deliberately promoted by those with ulterior motives, and it exploded like thunder in Shenwu City. The news spread rapidly throughout the city as if it had wings.

In the streets and alleys, people were talking about the mystery and terror of the Bad Guys. It wouldn't be long before the Bad Guys' reputation spread throughout the Shenwu Empire, and even to other empires. By then, the name of the Bad Guys would become a nightmare in everyone's hearts.

"The prince's drastic measures make it understandable that they fear him!" Yuan Tiangang, standing nearby, raised the corners of his mouth slightly beneath his mask, revealing a barely perceptible smile as he chuckled softly and complimented. His voice was low and steady, remarkably clear in the somewhat noisy atmosphere.

"Haha, Gangzi, it turns out you can also flatter!" Li Xingyun laughed even more after hearing what Yuan Tiangang said. He stretched out his finger, pointed at Yuan Tiangang, and laughed so hard that he fell backwards.

That smile contained both a mocking attitude towards Yuan Tiangang's words and a sense of pride in the current situation. In his view, everything was under his control, and under his leadership, the Bad People organization would become the most feared organization in the world.

"I speak from the bottom of my heart!" Yuan Tiangang clasped his hands together, his face devoid of any embarrassment as he spoke frankly, his expression as if he were truly speaking from the heart. He raised his head slightly and looked at the person opposite him with a firm gaze that revealed an unquestionable sincerity.

"Okay, they shouldn't make any moves in the short term." Li Xingyun waved his hand, as if to wave away those potential threats.

After the joke, his face instantly fell silent, his expression becoming solemn, as if an invisible boulder weighed down his heart. He slowly asked, "I asked you to investigate my mother earlier. How's it going? Any leads?" His voice was low and urgent, revealing his deep longing for his mother and his desire to uncover the truth.

His thoughts could not help but drift back to the conversation he had with Feng Lao before. At that time, he was full of anticipation and asked Feng Lao about his mother, with a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

But the news he received was like a bucket of cold water, leaving him somewhat disappointed. Elder Feng stood before him, bowing slightly, a look of helplessness and regret on his face. Elder Feng hadn't always been with his mother; he had only started following her twenty years ago, before Li Xingyun was born. Before then, his mother's life was a mystery, and Elder Feng could only wander around its edge. He knew very little about his mother's affairs.

All he knew was that Li Xingyun's mother was Ye Qingqiu. In Li Xingyun's heart, this name was like the brightest star in the night sky, carrying all his imaginations of his mother.

It is said that Ye Qingqiu is very powerful, her cultivation is extremely high, and she is free and easy, not like an ordinary person. She seems like a fairy who has descended from heaven to the earth, not bound by worldly constraints.

As for why she married Li Qiankun, it's a mystery without a solution. And why she left? Was there something unspeakable? Or was she pursuing something more important? And the origins of her family are even more of a mystery.

Maybe her family is a mysterious martial arts sect with profound heritage and powerful strength; maybe it is a wealthy family that hides countless unknown secrets.

In the words of Elder Feng, "Miss, you pulled me back from the abyss. I am only loyal to you. Beyond that, I don't care about anything else!" Elder Feng spoke with a firm and loyal tone, his eyes revealing gratitude and respect for Ye Qingqiu. He was like a silent mountain, guarding his loyalty and remaining indifferent to everything else.

Li Xingyun knew that Feng Lao would not lie to him and had told him everything he knew. He did not ask any more questions and could only place his hopes on Yuan Tiangang and the Bad People. Thinking of his mother, Li Xingyun could not help but feel a little depressed. Who doesn't yearn for maternal love?

Li Qiankun undoubtedly knew a great deal about Ye Qingqiu. After all, they were likely inextricably linked, perhaps sharing countless untold adventures or perhaps even sharing a deep connection in some hidden event. In Li Qiankun's memory, Ye Qingqiu's past was like a dusty, yet teeming ancient book, its every page holding a hidden secret.

However, given the current relationship between Li Xingyun and Li Qiankun, Li Xingyun really couldn't go to the other party to ask for clarification.

Li Xingyun knew that if he rashly went to Li Qiankun to ask about Ye Qingqiu, not only might he not get the answer he wanted, but it would also very likely cause new trouble.

Therefore, you still have to rely on yourself to find the truth about your mother in this complicated world.

"Well, we have some clues, but they're not certain yet. The Bad Guys are trying to verify the information!" Yuan Tiangang said apologetically. There was a hint of helplessness in his eyes. After all, although the Bad Guys were powerful, in the complex and complicated Shenwu City, obtaining accurate information from decades ago was not easy.
