Chapter 279 The Unfathomable Venerable
Finally, Lin Shiyi successfully arrived at her bedroom and she breathed a sigh of relief.
However, when she pushed open the door, she saw Concubine Li and Concubine Liu hugging each other tightly, crying with their heads in their hands.
Although the crying was not loud, it was extremely miserable and heartbreaking.
As the sound of the door opened, the two men seemed to suddenly sense something, and they suddenly raised their heads and looked straight at the door.
When they saw Lin Shiyi standing there, a glimmer of hope suddenly flashed in their eyes, as if they had seen a life-saving straw in the darkness.
"Sister Princess..." The two of them shouted in unison with sobs, tears streaming down their cheeks, looking so pitiful.
"I feel like I'm dying. My body feels so uncomfortable!" Concubine Liu sobbed, covering her chest with her hands, her face as pale as paper.
Concubine Li also nodded and agreed, "Yes, Princess Sister, my health has been very bad recently. I feel weak all day long and can't muster the energy to do anything."
As she spoke, she coughed lightly a few times.
Hearing this, Lin Shiyi's heart tightened.
In fact, her own body was already experiencing some problems at the moment, but looking at the two sisters crying so sadly, she still forced herself to cheer up and comforted them with a smile:
"Don't worry, I'm here. We will definitely find a way to cure the disease."
Then, she thought for a moment and said, "I heard that a famous female doctor with excellent medical skills has appeared in the capital recently. It is said that she holds a free medical consultation every month.
The day after tomorrow is her free clinic day. Let's find a suitable time and sneak out to see her. Maybe she can cure the disease!"
After hearing this, Concubine Li and Concubine Liu nodded in agreement.
Later, Concubine Li asked curiously, "Princess, where did you go when you ran out in such a hurry just now? Are you feeling unwell?"
"Well, I feel a little unwell and just went to the bathroom!" Lin Shiyi replied with a slightly pale face.
At the same time, the cold voice from the side hall suddenly sounded again in the remote room, like a cold wind blowing.
There was even a hint of uncontrollable anger in his voice: "Damn it, you idiot, you were being followed and didn't even realize it!"
Hearing this, Zhao Yucheng was suddenly shocked, and a layer of fine sweat instantly seeped out of his forehead. He responded hurriedly:
"Your Excellency, please calm down. This is unlikely to happen! Perhaps it was just a passing stray cat or dog that accidentally made the noise. I'll go check it out now."
"Okay, that's enough!" However, the man called the Venerable obviously lost his patience and rudely interrupted Zhao Yucheng's defense.
He shouted impatiently, "So what if she's really being followed? If that guy dares to show up again next time, I'll make her into one of my pills!"
"Yes, Your Excellency! I will follow your instructions." Faced with the anger and threats of the Your Excellency, Zhao Yucheng did not dare to be negligent in the slightest and quickly replied respectfully.
Then, he hesitated for a moment, and then continued:
“Your Excellency, although we have not yet found the invisibility ring or its owner, there is one very strange thing.
Today, I sent several top assassins to kill the prince and a woman named Wang Xinyao, but both of them disappeared without a trace.
Our people have already confirmed that they have all returned to their homes before the operation. Your Excellency, do you think... could there be something wrong with this?"
"The owner of the invisibility ring is not a man, but a woman, so the prince you mentioned absolutely cannot possess such a treasure.
As for why he suddenly vanished and disappeared, it's up to you to find out for yourself!" said the venerable with a stern expression.
Then, he spoke again, "Next, your focus must be on the woman named Wang Xinyao. Make sure to bring her to me safely!"
After a brief pause, the Venerable continued, "As for the elixir you desire, I will certainly satisfy your needs!
As long as you can help me find the person who possesses the invisibility ring, I can not only enable you to break through to the peak of the Supreme Realm at any time, but even more so, I can help you ascend to the Saint Realm!"
When these words came out of the mouth of the venerable, they seemed to carry an irresistible majesty and temptation.
"Yes, Your Excellency!" Upon hearing this, Zhao Yucheng hurriedly bowed respectfully in response.
He was secretly happy in his heart. If he could really enter the realm of the Venerable, then in this world, he would be able to dominate the life and death of anyone.
Then why should he be afraid of Eunuch Xu? No, he has nothing to fear now, as he is currently at the first level of the Venerable Realm.
As far as he knew, the dead eunuch Eunuch Xu was at most at the eighth level of the Martial Emperor Realm.
The reason why he did not take any action was, firstly, that he still cared about his own reputation, and secondly, that the throne was to be left to Li'er, the son he and Yin Ling'er had together.
He had many women around him in his life, but his only child was Zhao Haoli.
It’s all the fault of those three useless women. In all these years, there has been no sign of pregnancy in their bellies.
If he hadn't been concerned about Ling'er and was afraid that she would be jealous and angry, he would really want to replace the current princess and concubines with some younger and more beautiful ones.
Zhao Yucheng cursed his concubines in his heart, then he turned around and slowly walked out of the side hall.
As he was leaving, Zhao Yucheng couldn't help but think to himself.
He never expected that in addition to Yin Ling'er who was determined to get Wang Xinyao, even this venerable now showed such a strong interest in Wang Xinyao.
From this we can see that this woman named Wang Xinyao should not be underestimated. We must be extremely alert and respond wholeheartedly!
When the last human voice in the side hall disappeared, the surroundings fell into dead silence.
In the midst of silence, the venerable monk slowly raised his head.
He is about forty years old and has unfathomable strength.
However, for some reason, such a powerful person seemed to be afraid of something or someone, and hid himself in the room all day long.
At this moment, he was sitting upright in a dark corner, and his originally handsome face was now covered with a thick layer of frost, making him look extremely cold and gloomy.
Suddenly, he opened his lips and uttered a voice from the depths of his throat that was as cold and piercing as the wind from the underworld:
"Wang Muyun, ah Wang Muyun, back then, you actually dared to defy the world, violate our established engagement, and openly flee the Holy Land to come to this mortal world filled with fireworks."
