Stop it, Taoist, Your Fight almost Ruins the DAO!-Chapter 570 - 369: Conspiracy, Selling Secrets, Princess Please Conduct Yourself with Decorum!_2
"Damn it, feeding the cat here."
Miao Zi looked at the small dried fish on the finger-length sitting atop the fancy plate, his eyes also widened, unable to resist looking towards his own father.
"Eat up! If it's not enough, just order more. Someone else will pick up the tab later anyway," Yi Chen sighed helplessly towards Miao Zi.
Da Yue divided the world and ruled, and now he really got himself stuck in it.
Soon, Yi Chen and Miao Zi started to show off, and it had to be said, the taste was actually quite good, just that the portion of each dish was so small it was nauseating.
Just as Yi Chen and Miao Zi started eating, a knock on the door sounded, and an average-looking middle-aged man entered with a young woman, her face veiled with light gauze and dressed in a long green dress.
Yi Chen's gaze wandered and finally settled on the young woman, unexpectedly an old acquaintance.
"Princess Qingzhu?"
Indeed, she was Yue Qingzhu, whom he had met once on Dragon Tiger Mountain, but from the young woman's brows and demeanor, her recent state did not seem too good.
The middle-aged man wore a black robe trimmed with gold and glanced around.
At this moment, an innkeeper, round like a meatball, rolled and scrambled over.
"Commander Yan, your esteemed presence graces us. What can we do for you? Yue You Tower will fully cooperate."
The middle-aged man, with deep and narrow wrinkles of authority, his eyes like those of a vulture, stared at the innkeeper before him and spoke coldly:
"This place is unsatisfactory. Clean up the top floor; I have important matters to discuss with our distinguished guest."
"This..." the innkeeper said, his face showing some hesitation upon hearing this.
"Is there a problem?"
"The Crown Prince has invited a true cultivator who is currently enjoying wine and pleasure on the top floor, how about..."
"Tell him to leave."
"Shouldn't we ask the Crown Prince for instructions first? He values this person highly and has repeatedly instructed me to take good care of this senior," said the innkeeper with a mournful look, sticking to his guns.
At this time, the authoritative lines on the middle-aged man's face grew more pronounced, and he revealed an indescribable expression: "Don't try to be smart. Today, it doesn't matter if it's just a guest of the Crown Prince, even if the Crown Prince himself were here, he would have to leave; there will not be a second time."
"I've been informed by those below that just a while ago someone bared their teeth at our esteemed guests from Da Yue; regardless of which family those people belong to, tell my lead guard outside, ten slaps each; do you understand?"
No sooner had his voice fallen than a massive air whip cracked on the chubby innkeeper, sending him flying against the opposite pillar, from which he slumped down in a heap.
"I was unaware of your arrival in the capital, Your Highness specifically instructed me to ensure you are well taken care of. This place is modest, and I regret any discomfort it may have caused you."
The middle-aged man forced out an enthusiastic smile, which made Yi Chen's teeth ache; it was clear the man was not adept at smiling, and the strained smile was uglier than crying, a tough ordeal for him.
Although Yi Chen had anticipated that his movements would be exposed, the speed at which the people of Da Yue arrived was beyond his expectations.
Upon his arrival in the capital, his first stop was the temple where his master's wife resided; in just a short period since he had left there, the emperor of Da Yue had already sent people to his door; it was unclear whether Yue Qingping had communicated with them.
"Certainly, I'll be sure to thank His Highness on your behalf," Yi Chen replied graciously.
One gives respect, and I reciprocate tenfold; Yi Chen had requests to make of the Yue family, and thus spoke even more gently at this moment.
At this point, Yi Chen also learned the identity of the middle-aged man in front of him, who had the cultivation of a late-stage Intercepter.
One of the commanders of the Hidden Guard by the side of the Emperor of Yue.
If the Zhengan Bureau is considered the public arm of Da Yue, then the Hidden Guard is the private intelligence network belonging solely to the Yue family.
With the intervention of the Hidden Guard commander by the side of the Emperor of Yue, Yue You Tower demonstrated unprecedented efficiency, and the top floor was quickly cleared out.
A variety of delicate spirit dishes were served one after another, flowing like water.
"Commander Yan, you are too kind. To be honest, my visit to the capital is for two reasons; firstly, to transport the ashes of my late master, and secondly, to ask for a favor," Yi Chen stated.
"I have some minor disputes with the Great Weide Heavenly Dragon Temple and would like to make use of Da Yue's intelligence network to accomplish some things."
"His Majesty had explicitly instructed me to take good care of you; I can promise on his behalf right now. The Emperor said that the Yue family would like to be friends with you," replied the middle-aged man.
"I have the same intention," Yi Chen grinned and began whispering to the middle-aged man in front of him.
"My lord, in these years, Da Yue must have gathered quite a bit of the dark secrets of the Great Weide Heavenly Dragon Temple. I would like to ask you to spread all of this information and mix in this piece of news with it," said Yi Chen cheerily as he took out a stack of documents from the storage ring and handed it over to the man.
The information on the documents was straightforward.
First, the Yan family was decimated by the Great Weide Heavenly Dragon Temple, and Da Yue secretly mixed this news with the truth and propagated it.
Second, the Evilslaying Monk was a member of the assassination squad, including a mysterious leading monk.
Although Da Yue has retracted its feelers to just the two capitals, this was only a façade. The Yue family's rule over Da Yue for a thousand years ensured that they had countless hidden tentacles; spreading such news within the Central Continent was merely a matter of lifting a finger.
The Great Weide Heavenly Dragon Temple liked to create groundless accusations? Those who create such baseless charges should die by them; it couldn't be more fitting.
And for the Evilslaying Monk Jue Xin, Yi Chen had prepared a special gift for him.
The middle-aged man flipped to the following letter and his eyes widened in shock.
It listed all the misdeeds of the Evilslaying Monk, vile and venomous to the extreme. To pick just one:
During the decimation of the Yan family, the Evilslaying Monk, known for his peculiar tastes for older women, took hold of the Yan Family Head's mother, Old Madam Yan, and in front of everyone...
