Then, Ye Yun remembered something and asked.

"By the way, did he also know that it was me who infiltrated the Ascension Sect and leaked the information?"

This directly determines what kind of demeanor he should maintain when he meets Cang Sheng tomorrow.

If the other party already knows, you must be careful not to be retaliated against.

If you don't know, then there's not much to worry about; just pay attention to one thing.

"Don't worry, he doesn't know that yet."

Azure smiled and shook her head.

"Very few people know about this, and most of them are my close confidants."

But Ye Yun found these words very strange.

He had a strange expression on his face and asked a question.

"A trusted confidant? You mean, Xiao Qing is also one of your trusted confidants?"

After all, the other party had mentioned in the past that he had infiltrated the Ascension Sect.

However, according to the political structure of the Azure Dragon Empire, the other party should belong to the Azure Dragon Emperor's faction.

Even if the emperor is in poor health now, he should still help support the crown prince.

Upon hearing this, Canglan pondered for a moment, then chuckled softly.

"What Grand Preceptor Xiao said is an exception."

Judging from the expression on her face, something was clearly going on.

Ye Yun's interest was piqued, and he asked curiously.

"Oh? What do you mean?"

Unfortunately, Azure didn't seem to want to elaborate on this issue.

She looked apologetic and explained.

"This concerns a secret of our Azure Dragon Empire, so..."

"Understood, then I won't ask any more questions."

Ye Yun dislikes being interrogated and will not try to interrogate others.

Moreover, this is an internal matter of the Azure Dragon Empire, and has nothing to do with him, an outsider.

"Alright, then I'll go to the banquet tomorrow."

Ye Yun smiled faintly and said this.

This surprised Canglan.

"Attending a banquet?"

"Indeed, I ran into your younger brother on the way here."

Ye Yun shrugged and recounted what had just happened.

After listening, Canglan shook his head and gave a cold smile.

"It seems he hasn't given up on winning you over, and this time it probably isn't anything else."

"Hmm...that's what I think too."

Ye Yun shrugged and chuckled.

"After all, I accepted a Heaven-Rank magic weapon from him last time, so I should give him some face and go visit him."

Azure did not stop this.

However, I offered a concerned reminder.

"Fellow Daoist Nangong, feel free to go if you wish, but please be mindful of your safety."

Even if the other party is crazy, they shouldn't resort to violence in this imperial palace.

However, it cannot be ruled out that the other party might use other methods.

For example, using poison, or coercion and enticement...

"Understood, I understand."

Ye Yun nodded and smiled faintly.

In his view, the opponent could only use three tricks.

They'll either use poison, coerce or entice, or find an opportunity to kill themselves.

The first and third options are both very risky, leaving only the second option as a viable choice...

……

After that, since he was to stay in the Imperial Palace for two days, Ye Yun was given another room.

And without any surprises, it was still the same old place, a guest room near the Azure Palace.

Compared to when I left last time, this place has been cleaned up and looks like no one has ever lived here.

"It's a pity, I'll have to live here alone now."

Ye Yun looked at the empty room and couldn't help but sigh softly.

Cang Lan originally planned to stay with him all day, but suddenly the emperor summoned her, so she went ahead.

He was settled down and allowed to move around on his own again.

"Never mind, let's focus on cultivation first."

Ye Yun shook his head and sat cross-legged on the bed, intending to meditate and cultivate.

But before that, he remembered something important.

"Oh right, I almost forgot about the pills I promised her."

Before starting his cultivation, Ye Yun rummaged through his storage bag.

Before long, they found a box with the words "Soul-Suppressing Pill" written on it, inside which was a discarded Soul-Suppressing Pill.

After all, last time, as Ye Yun, he promised to find the Soul-Suppressing Pill for the other party, and they had even cultivated together.

Of course, I cannot go back on my word...

Speaking of which, this Soul-Suppressing Pill was actually given to them by the other party's mother, Consort Qing.

Returning it in this way can be considered as returning it to its rightful owner.

"Reshape!"

[Consuming 1000 Creation Points, reshaping you...]

Ye Yun activated the Creation Furnace, and the waste pills in the jade box quickly shed their filth and became shiny.

In no time at all, a brand-new, flawless Soul-Suppressing Pill appeared in the jade box in his hand.

"All done!"

For him, this was already something he was very familiar with.

A thousand points of fortune are just a drop in the ocean for him right now.

"Speaking of which, I wonder who among her needs this elixir..."

Ye Yun was deep in thought, but no matter who it was given to, the recipient was probably already on the verge of death.

With just this one Soul-Suppressing Pill, he's only hanging on to his life; whether he can fully recover is still uncertain.

After reshaping the Soul-Suppressing Pill, he put it away.

"Alright, let's begin cultivation!"

For him, it was just a minor incident.

He immediately continued his training.

But before he could get into the zone, there was a knock on the door from the outside.

Ye Yun paused for a moment, then frowned slightly and asked.

"Who?"

Then, a familiar female voice came from outside the door.

"Fellow Daoist Nangong, I am Cang Yue!"

That bright, girlish voice undoubtedly belonged to Cang Yue.

Ye Yun's brows relaxed, and he got up to open the door for her.

As expected, standing at the door was the Fourth Princess Cang Yue, who had changed into an elegant golden dress.

Upon seeing Ye Yun, she lifted her skirt with her small hand, bowed to him, and smiled.

"Long time no see, Fellow Daoist Nangong!"

Seeing this, Ye Yun smiled and said.

"Miss Cangyue's information network is truly impressive; you knew I had just arrived?"

"Of course, I have those kinds of methods."

Cang Yue smiled confidently.

But then she fidgeted with her hands in front of her, as if there was something she was too embarrassed to say.

Seeing this, Ye Yun asked.

"Miss Cangyue, just say what you have to say."

At this moment, Cang Yue pursed her lips and tentatively asked him.

"Fellow Daoist Nangong, are you aware that I asked Ye Yun to find you a certain elixir last time?"

Unsurprisingly, she came for the Soul-Suppressing Pill.

Ye Yun pretended to be deep in thought, and after a moment, he said.

"You mean the Soul-Suppressing Pill, right?"

Upon hearing this, Cang Yue breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.

"That's right! Fellow Daoist Nangong, do you have any here?"

Ye Yun didn't keep him in suspense any longer. He simply stretched out his hand, and a jade box appeared in his palm. He then opened it.

A rich fragrance of pills wafted out, and inside lay the Soul-Suppressing Pill that Cang Yue desired.

Ye Yun smiled slightly and explained.

"You're lucky. By sheer coincidence, I happened to have obtained a Soul-Suppressing Pill."

Upon seeing the elixir, Cang Yue's eyes lit up.

"Very good!"

She rushed forward, took the jade box, and examined the pills in her hand.

When it was confirmed that it was indeed a Soul-Suppressing Pill, and of flawless quality at that, her joy was palpable.

Immediately, Cang Yue looked at Ye Yun and asked.

"Fellow Daoist Nangong, I'll take this Soul-Suppressing Pill. Name your price! I'll give you anything you want!"

"Of course, it's within my power."

She added a sentence to avoid the other party making overly difficult requests.

After listening, Ye Yun pondered for a moment, then leaned forward and smiled.

"Isn't that simple?"

He grabbed Cang Yue's wrist and said with his eyes slightly narrowed.

"I don't need anything else, I just want Miss Cangyue to serve me."

This action made Cang Yue's delicate body tremble.

She instinctively broke free, took a few steps back, and shook her head at Ye Yun.

"But...this one won't do!"

Her defiant actions surprised Ye Yun, who asked curiously.

"Oh? Why? It's worth it for you, isn't it?"

If the other person hasn't experienced this before, they will indeed be more shy and more concerned.

But in reality, the other party has already experienced this several times. Shouldn't they be more open-minded about it?

A blush appeared on Cang Yue's face as she offered an explanation.

"I already... have someone I love, so I can't do that kind of thing with my senior!"

"If you like, senior, I... I can help you find other female cultivators."

Judging from the shyness on her face, she didn't seem to be joking.

Ye Yun was taken aback. Did the other party already have someone they liked?

How come I didn't know about this?

He had clearly been intimate with her in his original identity in Fengbo City last time...

Ye Yun, filled with curiosity, asked with great interest.

"Miss Cangyue, I wonder which lucky guy you've fallen for?"

Cang Yue seemed a little shy about this topic.

She shook her head and pursed her lips.

"Of course, I can't tell Fellow Daoist Nangong about this."

"Fine, whatever."

Seeing that she didn't want to talk, Ye Yun didn't press her.

At this moment, Cang Yue looked at him and said.

"In any case... you can choose another condition, senior."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun seemed to have thought of something and chuckled softly.

"Actually, as for the reward, Ye Yun has already given it to me."

"If you really want to repay him, you can do so later."

Upon hearing this, Cang Yue was taken aback.

Her beautiful eyes widened in surprise.

"real?"

"yes."

Ye Yun shrugged and spouted nonsense with a straight face.

"That kid begged me for a long time before I was willing to give you the pill."

After listening, Cang Yue remained silent for a long time.

Finally, she nodded emphatically and said seriously.

"I understand! I will definitely repay Young Master Ye properly!"

A blush appeared on her face as she said this.

So much so that Ye Yun vaguely realized something, and thought, "Wait a minute..."

"Could it be me, the person this little girl claims to have feelings for?"

He's a seasoned pro who's had ambiguous relationships with multiple women, so he has some experience.

Looking at Cang Yue in front of him, he had a thoughtful expression.

This made Cang Yue feel a little embarrassed, and she couldn't help but ask.

"Fellow Daoist Nangong, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, just curious. Isn't Ye Yun the one you're interested in?"

Ye Yun made a casual remark, which was also a way of indirectly testing the other party.

Anyway, since it's said under Nangong's pseudonym, there's no need to worry about it causing one of life's three great illusions.

As a result, after hearing his sudden question, the blush on Cang Yue's face deepened.

"Of course not!"
