Deposed Crown Prince: After three years of service on the frontier, the entire court knelt and begge

Seeing that Yin Pan'er didn't interrupt, Nie Bing didn't beat around the bush either.

He stated bluntly, "I am the one sent by the Illuminati to support the Slavic nation..."

Yin Pan'er was visibly stunned upon hearing Nie Bing's words, and then said, "What! Weren't you in the Blood Nether Pavilion?"

Nie Bing gave a wry smile: "Yes, it's a long story..."

Seeing Yin Pan'er listening attentively, Nie Bing didn't continue, saying, "That's not the point. I never expected you to have joined the Illuminati and become an agent..."

Yin Pan'er smiled wryly and nodded: "That's right! So, you came to see me this time because you have something important to discuss?"

Nie Bing nodded: "I brought someone with me, and after thinking it over, I decided I should introduce them..."

Yin Pan'er looked at Nie Bing with a puzzled expression.

"People? Where are people?"

Nie Bing smiled slightly at Yin Pan'er, then said, "I want to tell you what's going on so you can decide whether you want to get to know her or not..."

Seeing that Nie Bing didn't respond, Yin Pan'er smiled and said, "Alright... go ahead and say it."

As Nie Bing spoke, she looked at Xiao Yue beside her.

"You should know her. She's one of us..."

Nie Bing nodded and said, "I know you trust her. But I don't trust her..."

Upon hearing Nie Bing's words, Xiaoyue retorted irritably, "You don't trust me... well, I don't trust you either..."

After hearing Xiaoyue's words, Nie Bing simply smiled and didn't say anything more.

He simply looked at Yin Pan'er without saying a word.

Yin Pan'er smiled at Nie Bing and said, "Is it not okay even if Xiao Yue is here?"

Nie Bing smiled and nodded slightly to Yin Pan'er: "That's right, no! You should know that when I say something like that, it means I care! Don't worry, we won't hurt you. We've been together for so many years, we still have that much trust in each other, right?"

After hearing Nie Bing's words, Yin Pan'er smiled and then said, "Of course..."

As she spoke, Yin Pan'er looked at Xiao Yue to the side.

Xiaoyue and Yin Pan'er have been together for so long that Xiaoyue is already very familiar with each other with just a glance from Yin Pan'er.

She knew that Yin Yin Pan'er was trying to get rid of her.

Xiaoyue had no problem with this, after all, Yin Pan'er had met Xiao Ce in disguise before.

Of course, Xiaoyue didn't know this at first; she only found out much later.

However, she felt that there was something wrong with Nie Bing's arrival at this time.

Xiaoyue said, "My lord, I..."

Yin Pan'er explained to Xiaoyue, "Alright, Xiaoyue, I know your concerns... You don't need to worry... Nie Bing won't hurt me! I'm confident enough to have that much confidence!"

"Moreover, Nie Bing must have something important to tell me since she traveled all the way across the ocean..."

Nie Bing smiled slightly at Yin Pan'er.

"Pan'er, you're the one who understands me best..."

Xiaoyue then left with a displeased expression.

After watching Xiaoyue leave, Nie Bing smiled and then said, "Alright, there are no outsiders here... I'll just get straight to the point."

Yin Pan'er looked at Nie Bing with a serious expression.

However, Nie Bing then gestured for him to come closer.

After weighing the pros and cons, Yin Pan'er looked at Nie Bing.

He then leaned his head in anyway.

"The person I'm bringing this time is none other than Xiao Ce!"

Yin Pan'er looked at Nie Bing with a puzzled expression when she heard Nie Bing say that.

Before he could speak.

Nie Bing continued, "It's not the Xiao Ce you know, it's the real Xiao Ce!"

Yin Pan'er asked, "How do you know if it's true or false?"

As Nie Bing spoke, she turned to Yin Pan'er and said, "The one we knew before was always a fake..."

Nie Bing spoke softer and softer.

Nie Bing's words were still quite despairing and upsetting for Yin Pan'er.

After speaking for almost half an hour, Nie Bing said to Yin Pan'er, "Pan'er, I know you might find it hard to accept what I'm saying, but it's true! It's the truth!"

Yin Pan'er nodded as she listened: "The Xiao Ce you mentioned has arrived!?"

Nie Bing nodded: "You'll know once you go and see for yourself."

Yin Pan'er was quite surprised after hearing Nie Bing's words.

Without saying a word, he agreed.

"However, I won't go. You can bring him over."

Nie Bing paused for a moment, then said, "Okay!"

He left in a hurry, giving Yin Pan'er a final instruction before he left.

"Pan'er, when I arrive with my men later, you don't need to be too strict with the checks..."

After hearing Nie Bing's words, Yin Pan'er smiled and said, "That's for sure."

After Nie Bing left in a hurry.

Xiaoyue asked Yin Pan'er with a puzzled look, "Sir, what did Nie Bing say to you?"

"Sir, I know you two have a good relationship... but time can change a person, and you haven't seen each other for a long time after all... You may not know his experiences, and they may not know yours either... so..."

Listening to Xiaoyue's earnest teachings, Yin Pan'er found it somewhat amusing.

She then recounted Nie Bing's story to Xiaoyue.

Clearly, Xiaoyue was completely dumbfounded after Yin Pan'er finished speaking.

After a long pause, Xiaoyue asked Yin Pan'er, "So...sir, what she means is that the Lord Xiao Ce we know was a fake from the beginning...that's why his personality changed so drastically..."

Yin Pan'er nodded.

After listening, Xiaoyue said, "Then...then...the one who bullied you...including the one you spent time with later on, wasn't it always Xiao Ce? If that's the case, does it even matter whether it's true or not?"

"My lord, haven't you always loved him as a person? Does it matter whether he's real or not?"

After Xiaoyue finished speaking, Yin Pan'er immediately said, "It's important! And extremely important!"

Seeing Xiaoyue's puzzled look, Yin Pan'er said, "What I care about is very simple, and what Nie Bing wants to express is very simple."

"So, since Xiao Ce was a fake from the beginning... then later on, in that person's hands and eyes, we were just a tool, a pawn... He was using me all along."

"If that's the case, wouldn't I be incredibly foolish?"

Xiaoyue shook her head, then said to Yin Pan'er, "My lord, you should be able to sense whether he is sincere or not. Don't listen to what she says..."

"Her composition now..."

Before Xiaoyue could finish speaking, Yin Pan'er interrupted with a smile, "Don't worry, I'm not stupid... I'm not choosing to believe her, but I do think what she said makes sense. Of course, I also have my own judgment..."

After listening to Yin Pan'er's words, Xiaoyue nodded: "Yes! My lord, you've seen all kinds of storms and encountered all kinds of things... You're no longer the Yin Pan'er you used to be. It won't be so easy for them to control and use you! If they want to use you, then who will be using whom is still unknown!"

After hearing Xiaoyue's words, Yin Pan'er smiled with satisfaction and gently patted her head: "It has to be you, Xiaoyue. Since you understand me, why did you seem so worried just now?"

Xiaoyue chuckled and said to Yin Pan'er, "My lord, isn't this what you taught me? You must always learn to hide your talents. If I act like this, people will definitely look down on me... or even underestimate you, my lord, given your attitude towards me..."

Seeing Xiaoyue's reaction, Yin Pan'er smiled and said, "Very good! You little rascal, you really have a lot on your mind..."

Xiaoyue blushed slightly after hearing Yin Pan'er's words: "I've followed you so many times over the years, and I've learned how to do it all..."

Yin Pan'er nodded with a smile: "By the way, hasn't the Mad Taoist returned yet?"

Xiaoyue nodded and said to Yin Pan'er, "My lord, no, but you need someone to protect you. I'll make arrangements!"

Yin Pan'er shook her head: "No need. It's not that I'm worried they'll harm me. If they wanted to hurt someone, it wouldn't be that simple..."

Xiaoyue nodded and asked Yin Pan'er, "Then, sir, shall we continue..."

Yin Pan'er's eyes darted around a few times before she beckoned to Xiaoyue.

After Xiaoyue leaned her head over, she listened to what Yin Pan'er was saying...

He kept nodding...

After Nie Bing left, Yin Pan'er assumed they wouldn't arrive until the next day...

Unexpectedly, just as Yin Pan'er was about to fall asleep...

Xiaoyue rushed over and knocked on the door.

Hearing the knock on the door, Yin Pan'er, who was just about to undress for bed, got up.

I opened the door, before he could even ask a question.

"My lord, Nie Bing has arrived with a person who is bundled up tightly..."

After hearing his words, Yin Pan'er asked, somewhat puzzled, "You're here, you're here... why do you look like you've seen a ghost?"

Xiaoyue looked at Yin Pan'er with disbelief and incredulity in her eyes and asked, "Not only that, the Mad Taoist is with them... the Mad Taoist is with them."

Yin Pan'er frowned slightly as she listened: "Are you sure?"

Xiaoyue was absolutely certain...

"That's right... I've seen that mad Taoist priest several times... I couldn't possibly be mistaken... And, just like the previous mad Taoist priest, he's completely unresponsive when you talk to him..."

As Xiaoyue spoke, she seemed to think what he said didn't quite make sense, and added, "No, he still barely responded to what I said, but towards that person who was so tightly wrapped up, not only did he respond to every word, but he also seemed extremely obsequious... Clearly, he seems to be very familiar with them..."

As Xiaoyue spoke, she added, "My lord, I think this mad Taoist priest is very likely someone they planted among us..."

Yin Pan'er shook her head: "If we're talking about planting someone, it wasn't planted next to us. It was more like they planted someone next to Xiao Ce, and then Xiao Ce arranged for him to be next to us. That probably wasn't their idea."
