Fantasy, my Taoist practices are unorthodox

At this moment, without the help of a master at the mid-level or above, Ye Beiming would likely have had a hard time surviving.

The son of the richest man in Yunzhou may seem very powerful, but he is, after all, just a merchant family, and his power is not absolute!

As for the old man following Ye Beiming, he could be killed with a gentle push, so how could he protect him?

The only one who could save him was Liu Mengqin, who had always kept her abilities hidden.

And Liu Mengqin did indeed move...

"A good dog doesn't block the way..."

Eagerly stepping out of the Confucian Pavilion, Ye Beiming glanced at Ruo Wuji, who had appeared.

That fierce gaze was so kind and gentle.

"You surnamed Ye, you must leave lying down today..."

Ruo Wuji waved his hand and said fiercely.

The servants who had been lying in ambush behind them had already flown out from various blind spots.

"Sending them to their deaths!"

Old An grunted and straightened his hunched body.

A terrifying pressure suddenly appeared.

Strangely, only the servants who were lying in ambush felt this oppressive aura; passersby on the roadside seemed completely unaware of it.

"This is the power of a domain! A Grandmaster-level expert! That old man next to the man surnamed Ye is actually a Grandmaster-level expert!"

The servants tried to escape but found themselves unable to move.

Even Ruo Wuji couldn't help but show a look of fear on his face.

"You guys need to be a little tougher! You're too scared to lay a hand on an old man!"

Ye Beiming couldn't get rid of Elder An, and he hoped that these people could trap Elder An.

That way he can find an opportunity to die.

"Why must Young Sect Master do this? A loss is a loss..."

At this moment, the Seventh Prince hurriedly appeared.

He had just found out Ye Beiming's background; he was the son of the richest man in Yunzhou.

This time, he humbled himself and came to Yunzhou to attend the state governor's banquet.

Actually, he just wanted to befriend Ye Caishen.

In the royal power struggle, if he wants to turn the tide, he needs unlimited financial support.

There are very few people in the entire Qian Kingdom who can do this.

But a mere old servant of the Ye family in Yunzhou is actually a Grandmaster-level expert.

Is this a joke? Since when did such an important person have to condescend to be a servant?

It seems he made the right choice this time.

"Seventh Prince, this is a matter of grudges within our Wuji Sect. We hope you will not interfere..."

Ruo Wuji didn't really want to provoke the royal family.

"I have something to discuss with Young Master Ye. You won't get your way today..."

The Seventh Prince said arrogantly.

"So you're going to side with him!"

Ruo Wuji's mouth twitched.

"Young Master Ye, I have already made an appointment with Lord Yue. Shall we move on..."

Just as the Seventh Prince was about to speak, a figure rushed up.

"Something terrible has happened..."

"Lord Yue Changkong has been assassinated, and his chances of survival are slim..."

"The governor's mansion has issued a notice that the entire city is under martial law and tomorrow's birthday banquet has been cancelled..."

The messenger was a royal spy.

The news instantly shocked everyone present.

The governor of Yunzhou was actually assassinated; that was a grandmaster-level expert.

To assassinate Yue Changkong so easily, one would need to be at least close to the Grandmaster level.

Ye Beiming was naturally also surprised. He had originally planned to use the birthday banquet as a springboard for further investigation, but suddenly Yue Changkong was assassinated, and the birthday banquet was canceled.

He sensed that something wasn't quite right here!

After all, with Gu Ruoxing dead, Yue Changkong also ran into trouble.

Could it be that person from the Free and Unfettered Sect who made the move?

Who could this person be?

But so many years have passed, why would he choose to make a move at such a sensitive time!

“Young Master Ye, I had originally intended to have a heart-to-heart talk with you, but the assassination of the governor is a matter of great importance, and I must go and see for myself…”

The Seventh Prince bowed to Ye Beiming and left immediately.

"You're lucky to be alive today, but if we meet again, I won't let you off so easily."

After making those harsh words, Wuji was already eager to slip away.

"It seems this trip to Yunzhou will be a complete waste of time."

Ye Beiming sighed, feeling a sense of unease for his master's wife.

After all, no one knew that Li Feihong's death actually had little to do with the Emperor Demon Sect.

It was because of the secret Qin Ziyan possessed.

"Young Master, where do we go now?"

Old An frowned, suppressing his urge to continue attacking.

The patriarch had warned that even if the young master had any doubts, he should not deliberately reveal his cultivation level.

"Old Master An, please go back to the inn first. I'll go somewhere by myself..."

Ye Beiming always felt that there was absolutely no such coincidence in the world.

Why was the governor of Yunzhou assassinated as soon as he arrived?

He wanted to confirm whether the assassination attempt was real or not.

"Young Master wouldn't also like to go to the Governor's mansion, would he?"

"I wonder if this is just a cover-up..."

Old Master An saw through Ye Beiming's thoughts at a glance.

"Elder An, do you also think there's something fishy about the assassination of the governor?"

Ye Beiming was not surprised by what Elder An said.

Clearly, he wasn't the only one with this thought; any normal person would feel that something was amiss.

"I don't know if it's strange or not, but young master can't go..."

Old An said frankly.

"Why?"

Ye Beiming asked a question.

"Whether the assassination is real or not, now that the news has been released, it will surely cause a huge uproar throughout Yunzhou!"

"Going to the governor's mansion now will only bring trouble upon ourselves..."

At this critical moment, Elder An obviously wouldn't let Ye Beiming leave alone.

Ye Beiming was definitely going to join in on this excitement.

Sending someone to their death is easy, but the concern is that it might bring unnecessary trouble to the Ye family and the sect.

Although the Ye family's resources were stronger than he had imagined, he didn't want the people behind them to suspect anything.

Those who had the opportunity to kill Li Feihong, besides the heads of the various peaks, were the sect elders.

Ye Beiming analyzed for a long time, but still couldn't find an answer!

Unless this person is...

“I know an old friend in this governor’s mansion. Let’s go check it out together…”

After thinking for a moment, Elder An led Ye Beiming straight there.

Meanwhile, Liu Mengqin also learned of Yue Changkong's assassination.

"The Lord of Yuezhou has been assassinated?"

Liu Mengqin didn't look at Yan'er with excessive surprise.

Yan'er is the manager of Ruwenlou.

The true owner of this place is Liu Mengqin.

She traveled around the world as one of the Four Famous Courtesans, all to establish various intelligence networks for her benefactor.

"Miss, who on earth has the audacity to assassinate the governor?"

Yan'er looked puzzled.

"Go to the governor's mansion now and inquire about the information, see if there's anything you've overlooked..."

"it is good."

Yan'er nodded and left the room first.

Meanwhile, Ye Beiming, along with Elder An, also gathered some information.

"Although the servants in the manor are not entirely clear on the situation, what is certain now is that Lord Yuezhou may already be..."

"died?"

Ye Beiming frowned.

"It's highly likely that white silk has already been hung inside and outside the governor's mansion."

Old Man An nodded.

"Are there any leads on the murderer?"

Ye Beiming asked.

“Those servants certainly don’t know these things, but it’s said that Lord Yue was not assassinated inside the mansion.”

"That's what Old Man An said."

"Where is it...?"

Ye Beiming asked.

"I heard that the Lord of Yuezhou and his deputy were assassinated while discussing important matters..."

An Lao responded.

"Gu Ruoxing?"

Ye Beiming was stunned. Hadn't Gu Ruoxing already been killed by him?
