Chapter 222 Bai Ke's View
Seeing that Bai Ke seemed to suspect the sixth prince of Moyun Kingdom, Ning Fengyi couldn't help but ask curiously, "Why do you suspect him?"
"I've always felt that the relationship between the Sixth Prince and the King of Moyun Kingdom is not as simple as that of a ruler and his subject, or father and son!"
"Oh? Why do you think that? What do you mean?" Ning Fengyi raised an eyebrow and asked curiously.
"Reporting to our Sect Leader, this is what happened. After we dealt with the Huyi Wolf Demon, we came out of the ancient cultivator's cave in the Netherworld Beast Forest and rested at the Moyun Kingdom's post station."
The king of Moyun Kingdom hosted a banquet for us, saying that all of us disciples had to attend. At the time, I was still uneasy, wondering if there was a trap involved.
Later, the elder who accompanied us said it was alright, and that the Mo Yun Kingdom would not dare to cause any trouble in front of us. He also set up a barrier around the post station before we left.
So, that very night, all of us disciples went to the banquet. But just as the banquet was drawing to a close, the King of Moyun Kingdom suddenly launched an attack.
They even offered to give us the dancers in the palace, which the elders naturally refused. However, they used this opportunity to elevate the matter to the level of the entire relationship between the Mo Yun Kingdom and the Tian Ce Palace.
They even went so far as to try and take a share of what we gained from this experience, citing the proximity of the Netherworld Beast Forest and the Kingdom of Moyun. And this Sixth Prince was the one who proposed this demand in the main hall.
"Yes, the elder has already reported this matter to me, but he did not mention the sixth prince at the time."
"From what you just said, it can only be said that the Sixth Prince and the King of Moyun Kingdom intentionally provoked Tiance Palace. What makes this suspicious?" Ning Fengyi continued to ask.
"Not only that, but because of this matter, I also made a point of subtly inquiring about the sixth prince from the second prince of Moyun Kingdom, Yuan Su."
The second prince said that the sixth prince was originally not favored and was not well liked by his own father.
However, for some unknown reason, that person's personality suddenly changed drastically. He went from being unknown to accomplishing several capable tasks, which caught the eye of the King of Moyun Kingdom. The King began to rely on him more and more.
Furthermore, the sixth prince was quite adept at acting and was very popular among the common people, so that night I led a few disciples to sneak into the sixth prince's residence.
Upon entering, they discovered that the Sixth Prince had set up an array in the back garden using ghost willows and buried corpses. The elders said that the array was the long-lost Yin Sha Array.
While I was fighting with the sixth prince, I was caught off guard and almost had my body possessed by him.
Fortunately, I had already broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm and still had some ability to protect myself. I forcibly drove away the Sixth Prince; otherwise, how could I have returned to see you all?
Bai Ke seemed to still feel lingering fear when he thought about it, speaking with an expression of relief.
"Wait! You mean, the Sixth Prince actually set up the Yin Sha Formation and can even possess other bodies?" Ning Fengyi asked in surprise.
"Yes, I'm really curious, where did the sixth prince of the dignified Moyun Kingdom come from to learn these underhanded tricks?"
After I expelled the sixth prince's soul from my body, he fled and disappeared. But he reappeared on our way back to Tian Ce Palace.
He even set up another formation, waiting for us to enter before activating it. However, he failed. I used a magic artifact to immobilize him, and then escorted him all the way back to Tian Ce Palace.
The strangest thing is that we had searched the entire country of Moyun Kingdom but couldn't find the sixth prince, but just when we captured him and brought him back...
Along the way, we encountered wave after wave of assassins who came to kill us. After deduction, we concluded that they were from the Kingdom of Moyun.
It's obvious that while we were searching for the Sixth Prince, the King of Moyun Kingdom hid him. Therefore, after we left Moyun Kingdom, the Sixth Prince would have known our whereabouts.
"According to what you're saying, the Sixth Prince is indeed suspicious. He must know something about the sudden death of the King of Moyun Kingdom!"
"Yes, that's why the first person I thought of after hearing what you said was the Sixth Prince! After we returned, the Sixth Prince was guarded by the elders who were with us."
I plan to go find the Sixth Prince later and interrogate him thoroughly to see if I can get anything out of him.
"Yes! This is very necessary, but don't rush it today."
If you hadn't really angered your Uncle Tian Xin today, I was planning to tell you this news at tomorrow's meeting.
I was just rushing to smooth things over today, so I thought I'd let you know and hear your opinion.
"A meeting? Is it about this training exercise?" Bai Ke couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Good, all the elders will be present at tomorrow's sect meeting. You will need to give a formal report on this experience. After that, we will begin the distribution of rewards and honors!"
When it came to rewarding meritorious service, Ning Fengyi winked at Bai Ke, looking quite mischievous.
Bai Ke couldn't help but find it amusing; his senior master was quite adorable.
"You performed very well on this training trip, exceeding my expectations, and your father is also very pleased."
At the same time, it's clear that you've won the favor of those disciples and won their hearts. Your master was right about you! Ning Fengyi said with a look of satisfaction.
"Alright, let's not stand here any longer. Your father must have already dealt with Tian Xin for you. Let's go inside!"
As she spoke, Ning Fengyi went in first, followed closely by Bai Ke.
Upon entering, one could see that Tian Xin was no longer the same person she had been with Bai Ke earlier; she was sitting quietly at the table, drinking tea.
But the restless hand and the way her eyes kept glancing in Bai Yan's direction had already betrayed her thoughts.
Bai Yan, who was standing not far away looking at the scenery outside the window, remained indifferent and expressionless.
Looking at the scene before him, Bai Ke couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Sure enough, his father's charm hadn't diminished at all, no matter how much time had passed!
Seeing the two of them like this, Ning Fengyi, who was walking ahead of Bai Ke, took a closer look and realized that her junior sister was only focused on peeking at Bai Yan and hadn't noticed them at all.
She clenched her left fist and coughed lightly. Tian Xin seemed not to have expected the two people to be next to her, and turned around in surprise.
Bai Yan turned around at the sound and saw that it was his senior brother, the sect leader, and his own son. He took a few steps forward and walked over to them. He asked softly, "Have you finished talking?"
Bai Ke nodded in agreement. Bai Yan continued, "Now that we've finished talking, you should go back and rest!"
You've been working tirelessly these past few days, and haven't had a break today either. Go back and get some rest; you have a meeting early tomorrow morning!
"Yes! Then, Master Uncle, Father, I'll head back now!" Bai Ke said, cupping his hands to the two of them. Bai Yan and Ning Fengyi both nodded.
