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

Da Lei looked at Xiao Ce's confident expression and then looked over there with a puzzled expression.

After looking over, Xiao Ce said to Da Lei, "Da Lei, it's hard to explain this to you in just a few words... Anyway, he's not human..."

Upon hearing Xiao Ce's words, Da Lei's previously unpleasant expression softened considerably.

After all, Da Lei believed that he had few rivals in terms of martial prowess.

Even though he previously thought he might not be a match for the Mad Taoist, he was still capable of exchanging a few blows.

However, this was Da Lei's own prediction beforehand.

Because Da Lei had never actually sparred with the Mad Taoist.

He had considered that he might not be a match for them, but he never imagined that he would be so utterly outmatched.

They were practically brutally abused...

Even in just a few moves, the difference between them was evident.

However, now that he knows he's not human, he feels much better.

After all, only non-humans can possess such power.

At this moment, the Mad Taoist was still holding the blade of that small knife, his face expressionless.

Xiao Ce said to the mad Taoist, "Void, don't mind him... he was just joking with you, wanting to see your strength..."

The Mad Taoist glanced at Da Lei, then said in his still icy voice, "He is utterly vulnerable!"

That short sentence left Da Lei both amused and exasperated.

And it is equally impossible to refute.

If his opponent were the Mad Taoist, he would indeed be no match for him.

Just then, Da Lei looked at Xiao Ce.

"My lord, is there anything else you wish to ask?"

Xiao Ce merely smiled faintly: "What you want to ask, he doesn't know. As for the rest, it's not really necessary..."

Hearing Xiao Ce say this, Da Lei chimed in, "No matter what, he's still one of our own... It's better that he's our opponent..."

After hearing Da Lei's words, Xiao Ce smiled and said, "That's indeed true..."

As they were talking, Xiao Ce suddenly thought of something.

Suddenly, he turned to the mad Taoist and said, "By the way, Void, there's something I still want to ask you..."

The mad Taoist priest addressed Xiao Ce respectfully, saying, "Master, please speak..."

Xiao Ce said to the mad Taoist, "Do you know what kind of device is installed on Yin Pan'er?"

The Mad Taoist nodded to Xiao Ce: "I know."

After hearing what the Mad Taoist said, Xiao Ce's expression immediately became quite interesting.

"Oh? You know... Tell me about it..."

The Mad Taoist said, "It's actually just a sensor. This sensor will automatically activate once it encounters you, and then it will follow me and send a signal, telling me to go out and stop it..."

Xiao Ce said to the mad Taoist, "Was it that person who claimed to be me in disguise?"

Xiao Ce's tongue-twisting words startled even the Mad Taoist, who then said, "That's right! It was another version of you pretending..."

After receiving this news, Xiao Ce asked the Mad Taoist, "Will the other me be able to receive this signal?"

The mad Taoist priest first shook his head, then said, "I don't know either..."

Xiao Ce said to the mad Taoist, "Do you have a way to contact the other me?"

The mad Taoist continued to shake his head: "No, but after my body is damaged, it automatically sends him information..."

After hearing what the mad Taoist said, Xiao Ce nodded and continued to ask, "Do you have a way to remove the sensor device on Yin Pan'er?"

The mad Taoist nodded and then said, "No problem!"

Seeing how readily the Mad Taoist agreed, Xiao Ce was somewhat surprised. He then asked the Mad Taoist, "Will you let the other one discover this?"

After listening to Xiao Ce's words, the Mad Taoist nodded: "Of course not. This sensor only activates when it comes into contact with you. In other words, it won't activate unless there's contact..."

Xiao Ce said to the mad Taoist, "Then go and take that thing off for Yin Pan'er... and check Yin Pan'er... to see if there are any problems with her body?"

The mad Taoist priest said to Xiao Ce, "Alright, no problem..."

Xiao Ce was somewhat dazed and incredulous at how readily the mad Taoist agreed: "So smoothly?"

The mad Taoist said to Xiao Ce, "Master, this is not a difficult matter..."

Xiao Ce said to the mad Taoist, "If Yin Pan'er came to you, would you do the same?"

The mad Taoist shook his head and mechanically replied to Xiao Ce, "Of course not. Only after you can awaken me and verify my identity can you give me orders..."

After hearing what the mad Taoist said, Xiao Ce felt that it was all preordained.

If Yin Pan'er hadn't directly sent the Mad Taoist to protect him...

It wasn't that Xiao Ce shouted "Void" out of the blue.

All of these conditions are indispensable...

Without a word, Xiao Ce followed the Mad Taoist's instructions: "Xu Kong, now go and remove the sensor from Yin Pan'er on the smallest possible bed, without harming her life..."

The mad Taoist nodded.

Without saying a word, he turned and left...

After watching the mad Taoist leave, Da Lei looked at Xiao Ce.

Xiao Ce also looked at Da Lei and then said, "Don't you feel that everything is going too smoothly...? I feel like there's something fishy going on?"

Seeing that Xiao Ce had seen through his thoughts, Da Lei smiled and said, "That's right... that's indeed the case... I'm wondering if this is a trap."

Xiao Ce said to Da Lei, "Don't worry, I really don't know how to do that. I'm sure about that..."

Da Lei said to Xiao Ce, "I was overthinking it..."

Xiao Ce said to Da Lei, "Alright, let's go do our thing..."

...

At this time, in Heisenberg.

Yin Pan'er was initially quite happy that she was able to send the Mad Taoist to find Xiao Ce.

Firstly, it would ensure Xiao Ce's safety, and secondly, it would allow Xiao Ce to see what kind of monster the Mad Taoist really was.

Thirdly, although the mad Taoist followed her without saying anything, Yin Pan'er always felt like she was being watched.

Honestly, being monitored like this is really not a free experience...

Now that the Mad Taoist has left, and she's no longer under surveillance, Yin Pan'er feels that even the air she breathes is sweeter.

Yin Pan'er leaned against the bedside, drinking tea and basking in the sunlight.

If Yin Pan'er felt her life was bleak before, she now felt it was full of light...

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Upon hearing the knock, Xiaoyue went straight to the door to open it without thinking.

After opening the door, Xiaoyue looked at the person in the doorway with an expression of utter disbelief.

Yin Pan'er asked Xiaoyue, "Xiaoyue, who is it...?"

Xiaoyue stammered, "It's the void..."

Yin Pan'er, who was sitting, jumped up immediately after hearing the voice.

Then, with a look of utter disbelief, he looked directly towards the door.

All that could be seen was emptiness at the entrance.

"Void, why are you back?" Yin Pan'er had a bad feeling and asked directly.

Upon hearing Yin Pan'er's words, Xu Kong replied calmly, "I have returned to find you on my master's orders!"

Before Xu Kong could finish speaking, Yin Pan'er heard the first half of what Xu Kong said.

Then her face turned pale...

"He...he...he's back?"

Xu Kong seemed not to understand Yin Pan'er's words, and simply said to her, "Hasn't he always been here?"

Yin Pan'er's face turned even uglier, and Xiao Yue clenched her fists tightly beside her.

Before the two could speak, the void continued, "My master sent me to remove the sensors from your body, and then go back to find her. Yin Pan'er, are you ready?"

These words from Xu Kong brought Yin Pan'er back to her senses, and she looked at Xu Kong with a face full of surprise and said, "The master you're talking about is...?"

The void said, "Xiao Ce!"

Yin Pan'er said to the void, "Void, you said the master you mentioned is... is Xiao Ce!"

After listening to Yin Pan'er's words, Xu Kong nodded and then said, "That's right, what's wrong?"

Yin Pan'er and Xiao Yue exchanged a surprised glance.

Then Yin Pan'er realized what Xu Kong had said earlier: "You said you could remove that thing that person put on me?"

The void nodded.

Yin Pan'er and Xiao Yue were both filled with surprise.

They didn't know how Xiao Ce had done it.

But this is good news for Yin Pan'er.

Xu Kong continued, asking Yin Pan'er, "Are you ready on your end?"

Yin Pan'er excitedly said to the void, "Void, I'm ready... Is it troublesome to disassemble this thing? Will the person who installed it find out?"

After listening to Yin Pan'er's words, Xu Kong shook his head and said, "No, the master has already consulted about this matter... I will handle this matter properly."

Yin Pan'er felt a warmth in her heart after hearing what Xu Kong said.

Just then, Yin Pan'er spoke to the void, "I'm ready..."

The void said to Yin Pan'er, "Then let's begin..."

After hearing Xu Kong's words, Yin Pan'er smiled and said, "Okay... is there anything I need to prepare?"

He shook his head and then took out a small knife directly from the cloth bag he carried on his back.

There was also some medicinal powder.

He told Yin Pan'er to sit down directly.

Yin Pan'er was cautious and didn't tell the mad Taoist where the thing was stored.

Xiaoyue stood to the side, feeling a little nervous, because she didn't want to go out.

But I'm afraid the void will let him out.

She stood there, not daring to even breathe...

He thought he could make the void forget his existence, but now it seems he was overthinking it.

As soon as Yin Pan'er sat down, Xu Kong turned his head to look at Xiao Yue.

Before the void could speak, Xiaoyue interjected, "I'm not going out..."

Xu Kong was visibly taken aback by Xiao Yue's words, then said to her, "I won't let you go out either!"

Xiaoyue finally breathed a sigh of relief, then said to the void, "Then why did you call me?"

"I'm about to operate, can you comfort Yin Pan'er? It might hurt a bit..."

Xiaoyue nodded and stepped forward.

Yin Pan'er laughed at the void, then said, "I know, I'm not afraid of pain..."

At this moment, Xiaoyue grabbed Yin Pan'er's hand: "My lord, I'm here..."

Then, Void began, still expressionless, his movements very steady.

Without saying a word, Void picked up the extremely sharp knife.

He then first sprinkled medicine powder on Yin Pan'er's hand, and then started using a knife.

Without even asking, Yin Pan'er accurately located the thing buried in her body in her arm, looking into the void.

Having already endured the torment in the Blood Nether Pavilion, Yin Pan'er considered this small knife utterly insignificant.

Yin Pan'er didn't even flinch.

Moreover, Xu Kong was very skilled; after a few maneuvers, he retrieved an object the size of only a fingernail.

"Can this little metal piece really monitor adults?" Xiaoyue asked, somewhat incredulously.

After listening to Xiaoyue's words, Xukong nodded.

"Yes, this is it."

Seeing Yin Pan'er nod in affirmation.

It is quite obvious that they also agree with what the void said.

Because of the Void's excellent swordsmanship, a very small wound was left.

Without even needing to sew it up, Xu Kong simply took out a box of dark ointment from his cloth bag.

They applied a thick layer of the ointment directly to Yin Pan'er's wound.

"Yin Pan'er, don't let this wound get wet. Just bandage it yourself later, and it should be fully healed in five days..."

Yin Pan'er then said to the void, "Thank you so much... So am I no longer under his control now?"

Void nodded: "Good. You can go find him now..."

As he spoke, Xu Kong held up the small piece of metal and said to Yin Pan'er, "Yin Pan'er, I need to deal with this properly."

Yin Pan'er nodded to the void.

Without a word, Void turned and left.

After watching the void disappear, both Yin Pan'er and Xiao Yue were somewhat excited.

"Xiaoyue, am I dreaming...?"

Xiaoyue was equally excited: "My lord, I'll stand by you as your witness. You're not dreaming! I told you, Lord Xiao Ce, he's incredibly powerful, he's practically omnipotent..."

Seeing Xiaoyue say this, Yin Pan'er smiled and said, "Thank you... It really is all thanks to you. If you hadn't said that and blamed me, I would still be stuck in a rut... How did Xiao Ce manage to subdue the Void? The Void had been following him for a long time before, but I didn't see him subdue it."

Xiaoyue shook her head, then said to Yin Pan'er, "My lord, why don't you go find Prince Xiao Ce and ask him yourself? Then you'll know everything..."
