"What?" Li Xingyun screamed in shock, as if he had heard the news of the end of the world. He stared at Ye Xiaoyu with wide eyes in disbelief. He had been expecting some key clues from her, but he never expected to get such earth-shattering news!

"Why?" Li Xingyun's voice trembled slightly. He asked closely, as if he wanted to dig out more truth from Ye Xiaoyu's mouth.

Ye Xiaoyu certainly understood what Li Xingyun was asking. She took a deep breath, gathered herself, and then slowly explained, "I really don't know the specific reason. My memory is severely damaged, and I can't remember many things. However, my intuition and subconscious mind have been telling me that the master's situation is probably not optimistic."

Li Xingyun's brow furrowed, his heart growing increasingly anxious. This news was undoubtedly a heavy blow to him. However, he didn't give up asking, "You just said that the Twilight Society's base isn't located in one of the five empires. What exactly does that mean?"

Ye Xiaoyu was silent for a moment, seemingly pondering her response. After a moment, she finally spoke again, "The borders of the Five Empires are protected by powerful barriers, preventing anyone from leaving. The Dusk Society, however, has a special method for entering and exiting freely, but I don't know what it is, as I've never left the Five Empires myself."

Time passed by like a fleeting moment, and every moment witnessed the changes in Li Xingyun's inner world. As his thoughts deepened, he came up with new speculations and judgments about the current situation.

In his eyes, the so-called Five Great Empires were like a cage, or a closed sheepfold. The Dusk Society, like a sheepdog, shouldered the responsibility of managing the sheepfold and capturing the mature lambs, offering them to hunters outside.

This bold conjecture weighed heavily on Li Xingyun, as he knew nothing about the true strength of those outsider hunters. However, based on the information currently available, these hunters possessed strength at least at the second level of the Three Realms of Heaven and Man, and the power Li Xingyun currently possessed was not enough to contend with them.

Just as Li Xingyun was worried, Ye Xiaoyu seemed to understand his thoughts and gently comforted him, "Young Master, there's no need to worry too much. From what I know, the upper echelons of the Twilight Society rarely interfere directly in the affairs of the five empires. Perhaps there's some kind of restriction preventing them from personally interfering with the operations of the five empires. That's why they choose to cultivate an organization like the Twilight Society to do their work for them."

Li Xingyun nodded slightly upon hearing this, indicating that he understood Ye Xiaoyu's meaning. Although Ye Xiaoyu's words were not without reason, Li Xingyun still firmly believed deep down that handing over the initiative to others was not a wise move. Only by becoming strong enough could one truly gain a foothold.

"Miss Ye, you should go back and have a good rest first. Don't worry too much. I will let Yuan Tiangang and Jiang Chen Shizu continue to think of ways and do their best to help you recover your cultivation!" Li Xingyun looked at Ye Xiaoyu solemnly, sighed deeply, and then waved his hand gently, indicating that she could leave.

Li Xingyun knew that Ye Xiaoyu's recovery would take time and effort, but he also knew that this was crucial for her, so he would do everything he could to help her.

However, Li Xingyun also had much to deal with. His mother's whereabouts and the mysteries surrounding the Twilight Society weighed heavily on his mind. But for now, he had to put these issues aside, as his primary task was to take control of the entire empire and prepare to take action against the other three factions.

Seeing this, Ye Xiaoyu hurriedly bowed and said softly, "Okay, I'll obey your command. Thank you for your concern, sir. I'll take my leave now." After that, she slowly turned around and walked out of the study with light steps.

The moment she left the study, Ye Xiaoyu's eyes flashed with a joy that was hard to conceal. She couldn't help but think of the conversation she had just had with Li Xingyun, especially his caring tone and firm promise, which made her feel warm.

"The master's son has grown up so much, and he's really handsome!" Ye Xiaoyu secretly admired him as she walked. Li Xingyun's handsome face, deep eyes, and the occasional frown when he spoke were all deeply imprinted in her mind, making her mouth curl up and reveal a smile.

I wonder if anyone has taught the young master about sex? If the master were still alive, he would definitely arrange for me to teach him! Wow~~ Just thinking about it makes me so excited! Ye Xiaoyu's mind was like a movie, constantly surfacing various scenes of spending the night with the young master. The smile on the corner of her mouth became more and more strange, and her originally dignified image was gradually replaced by pornography.

Just as Ye Xiaoyu was lost in her own fantasy, Jiang Chen's voice suddenly rang out from afar: "Miss Ye! This way!" Jiang Chen watched Ye Xiaoyu emerge from the study. Her smile was becoming increasingly perverse, causing Jiang Chen to furrow his brows. However, when he thought about how few normal people there were in the Twilight Society, Jiang Chen felt that Ye Xiaoyu's situation was relatively normal. Seeing that Ye Xiaoyu was about to go the wrong way, Jiang Chen quickly spoke up to warn her.

At this time, Yuan Tiangang had something to discuss with Li Xingyun, so he could only give the task of accompanying Ye Xiaoyu back to the small courtyard to Jiang Chen.

"Ah?" Ye Xiaoyu cried out in surprise when she heard Jiang Chen's cry, as if she was startled. She quickly came to her senses, realizing her previous misstep. She quickly put away her evil smile, a hint of apology on her face, and said to Jiang Chen, "Sorry! I was distracted!"

"Have the ministers and princes of the court any reaction?" Li Xingyun sat at the desk in the study, looked at Yuan Tiangang standing beside him with a sharp gaze, and asked.

Yuan Tiangang smiled faintly, his hoarse voice revealing an indescribable confidence. He slowly said, "The court ministers are relatively calm. After all, with the covert infiltration of us, the Unruly, they naturally dare not easily oppose your decision. At least on the surface, they absolutely dare not express the slightest objection!"

Li Xingyun nodded slightly in agreement. However, his brow furrowed slightly as he pressed on, "So, what about the two princes, the King of Youzhou and the King of Dongzhou? How did they react?"
