"I'm sure he won't make things difficult for you." With that, Yu Tian vanished from the room in an instant.
Time flies, white horses pass by.
Seven days have passed since Yu Tian ordered four servants to monitor Zhu Qing's movements outside the palace.
Because of Yueyao, he did not cultivate on rainy days during these seven days. He usually just sat idly while enjoying tea, and occasionally gave Ye Dingzhi and Yueyao pointers on swordsmanship.
That day, Yu Tian was leisurely enjoying tea in the pavilion when he suddenly saw Yue Yao rushing over in a hurry. She stopped outside the pavilion and said to Yu Tian:
"Young master, news has just come from Linbing Douzhe that the Grand Eunuch has left the palace."
Upon hearing this, Yu Tian immediately stood up and said without hesitation:
"Alright, let's go meet this legendary Grand Eunuch now."
After saying that, he walked straight out of the Jixia Academy.
Seeing this, Yueyao hurriedly followed Yutian and left together.
About 15 minutes later, they arrived at the gate of a magnificent mansion.
Yueyao pointed to the mansion and said to Yutian:
"According to the message from Linbing Douzhe, this is the residence of that Grand Eunuch, and just half an hour ago, Linbing Douzhe personally witnessed the Grand Eunuch entering the residence."
Upon hearing this, Yu Tian nodded slightly, a hint of confidence flashing in his eyes, and said, "In that case, let's go in!"
With that, he walked toward the mansion gate without hesitation.
Yueyao, watching Yu Tian swagger towards the gate from behind, was stunned. She quickly caught up and asked in confusion:
"Young master, shall we just come here like this?"
Rainy Day noticed the confusion in Yue Yaohua's voice, but instead of stopping, she smiled and replied:
"She's not exactly a beauty, so where else would she go if she didn't use the main gate?"
After hearing Yu Tian's words, Yue Yao muttered to herself:
"What does this have to do with whether she's a beautiful woman or not? Does it mean that if the other person is a beautiful woman, she won't use the main entrance?"
However, what happened next made Yueyao feel very strange.
When they reached the door, the two guards standing there acted as if they couldn't see Yutian and her at all, showing no reaction whatsoever.
Yu Tian and Yue Yao entered the mansion with ease.
Not only that, the maids, servants and patrolling guards in the mansion all acted as if they didn't see the two of them at all, ignoring them completely.
Yueyao frowned, wondering, "What's going on? Why can't these people see us?"
Completely puzzled, Yueyao couldn't help but ask Yutian, "Young Master, what's going on? Why can't these people see us?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Tian's lips curled up slightly, revealing a mysterious smile, and he said softly, "Have you ever heard of Qimen Dunjia?"
When Yueyao heard Yutian mention Qimen Dunjia, her heart skipped a beat, and a hint of surprise and curiosity flashed in her eyes.
"Is Qimen Dunjia really that amazing?" Yueyao murmured to herself, her face full of disbelief.
She couldn't help but recall the legends about Qimen Dunjia, which was said to be mastered only by the Zhuge family.
However, the rainy day before her demonstrated the same ability, which greatly shocked her.
"Isn't it said that only the Zhuge family knows Qimen Dunjia? Young Master, how come you know it too!" Yueyao stared wide-eyed at Yutian, expecting his explanation.
She was filled with curiosity about this mysterious man and wanted to know more about his secrets.
Upon hearing this, Yu Tian did not immediately answer Yue Yao's question.
His eyes were deep and calm, as if they held boundless wisdom and power.
Although Yueyao was disappointed that she didn't get the answer she wanted, she understood that everyone has their own privacy and secrets.
Soon, the two arrived outside the hall. Yueyao followed closely behind Yutian, her heart filled with anticipation and nervousness.
She didn't know what would happen next, but she believed that Yutian must have her own plans and arrangements.
In the hall, Zhu Qing was explaining these matters to his apprentice Jin Xuan when he suddenly sensed a very strong aura outside the door, which startled him.
He immediately stopped talking to Jin Xuan, stood up, stared warily at the door, and shouted loudly:
"Who is it that graces us with their presence?"
His voice echoed throughout the hall, carrying a hint of authority and vigilance.
His gaze was as sharp as an eagle's, as if he could see through the door to the person coming in.
He knew that the person who could exude such a powerful aura was no ordinary person and that he had to be careful.
Jin Xuan was taken aback by Zhu Qing's actions, and a look of confusion appeared on her face.
Da da da!
Rainy Day led Yueyao slowly into the hall, their footsteps echoing in the quiet space.
Rainy Day's gaze swept around, finally settling on Zhu Qing, whose hair was completely white.
A slight smile appeared on his lips as he said softly, "Eunuch Zhuqing, I hope I didn't disturb you by not coming in person!"
Looking at Yu Tian's dashing appearance, Zhu Qing couldn't help but feel a stirring in her heart.
He pondered for a moment and guessed Yu Tian's identity. Zhu Qing's gaze sharpened, and he stared at Yu Tian quietly, saying calmly, "You are the Demon Sword Immortal."
Upon hearing Zhu Qing's words, Jin Xuan's heart skipped a beat, and a hint of surprise and wariness flashed in her eyes.
She never expected that the excessively young man in front of her was actually the renowned Demon Sword Immortal.
This name is renowned throughout the martial arts world, representing unparalleled swordsmanship and terrifying strength.
Rainy Day wasn't surprised that Zhu Qing could guess his identity. He smiled and nodded, readily admitting it:
“Indeed, it is I.” His voice was deep and powerful, revealing a sense of confidence and authority.
Upon hearing Yutian's admission, Zhuqing's mood immediately turned heavy.
He knew that the Demon Sword Immortal before him was no ordinary person, and the pressure he exerted was in no way inferior to that of the Rain-Born Demon.
This meant that Yu Tian was also a peerless expert at the half-step Divine Realm, and possibly even stronger than he had imagined. Faced with such an opponent, Zhu Qing had to reassess the situation.
Then, his eyes fixed on the rainy sky, a hint of seriousness flashing in them, he asked in a low voice:
"I wonder what important matter the Demon Sword Immortal has come to see me about this time?"
Zhu Qing also stared at Yu Tian, his eyes filled with vigilance, but his tone remained calm: "I do have something I would like to cooperate with Eunuch Zhu Qing on."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Qing's eyes lit up instantly, and she immediately showed great interest, eagerly asking:
"Oh? What kind of collaboration is it that warrants you coming all the way to my door?"
Without hesitation, Yu Tian decisively used the art of Qimen Dunjia to pull Yue Yao and Jin Xuan into the formation, ensuring that they could not hear his conversation with Zhu Qing.
Then, he calmly gazed at Zhu Qing and slowly spoke:
"Emperor Tai'an's lifespan is almost over, but with your cultivation level, living another thirty or forty years shouldn't be a problem."
However, according to the regulations of the Northern Li Kingdom, once Emperor Tai'an passes away, you, as the Grand Eunuch, must go to the imperial mausoleum to guard it for the rest of your life. I imagine you wouldn't be willing to accept such an outcome, would you?
Upon hearing Yu Tian's words, Zhu Qing's face instantly turned extremely ugly. He felt mocked, and anger flared within him. He roared furiously, "Demon Sword Immortal, did you come here specifically to mock me?"
Looking at the angry Zhu Qing, Yu Tian wasn't angry or flustered. Instead, she gently shook her head and calmly explained:
“Father-in-law, you’ve misunderstood. I have no grudge against you, so why would I bother to come here and mock you? I just want to discuss a deal with you.”
After hearing Yu Tian's explanation, Zhu Qing calmed down a little, but still asked warily:
"What deal? Just say it straight, don't beat around the bush."
Rainy Day nodded and said earnestly, "Father-in-law, I know you are unwilling to guard the imperial tomb, but I want to obtain the sacred stone used by the royal family during ancestral worship."
If we cooperate and jointly support a prince to ascend the throne, then all problems will be solved.
At that time, you can still serve as the Grand Supervisor and continue to wield power; while I will be able to obtain the 880 divine stones I need.
Upon hearing Yu Tian's suggestion, Zhu Qing revealed a disdainful smile, her lips curling upwards as she said sarcastically:
"Support a prince to the throne? Demon Sword Immortal, you really have a lot of nerve! Do you really think you can easily control the court situation with force alone? You're too naive!"
Seeing that Zhu Qing hadn't directly rejected him, Yu Tian's lips curled into a confident smile, and he said softly:
"Since I've come to you, I must be absolutely certain of success; otherwise, why waste each other's time?"
Upon hearing Yu Tian's words, a flicker of emotion crossed Zhu Qing's eyes, but she quickly regained her composure and simply replied, "Oh! Then tell me."
Seeing this, Yu Tian knew the other person was already somewhat interested, so she pressed her advantage and said:
"Before you go into the specific plans, can you tell me which prince, besides the Prince of Qing and the Prince of Jingyu, is most likely to inherit the throne?"
After listening, Zhu Qing fell into a brief moment of contemplation, and then slowly replied:
"If we exclude the Green King and the Jingyu King, then the most promising candidate should be the Third Prince, the Blue King."
His maternal uncle was the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard, while his maternal grandfather was a general commanding 100,000 border troops.
After listening, Yu Tian nodded thoughtfully, pondering to himself, and then spoke after a moment:
"Okay, let's choose him as our target!"
Next, let me explain this ingenious plan in detail… First, we will do this; then, proceed step by step according to the plan; finally, do this…”
