Hide And Cultivate In The East Palace, Only To Find The Prince Is A Girl - Chapter 724

Chapter 724: Tearing Torch Dragon (Part 2)

Slash!

Before he could finish his words, his head and tail were easily torn into two. A zither and a dragon pearl fell down.

He grabbed at the air and put them away. He did not let go of the dragon blood either. He put it together with the dragon body into the Five Dragons Spirit Controlling Belt.

He took a step forward and landed on the bridge.

With a wave of his hand, he put away the dark barrier he had set up. He looked around and saw that everything was normal. There was no one around. Without further delay, he quickly disappeared into the darkness.

In the backyard.

Uncle Shi sat on the doorsill, his hands clenched into fists and placed together in a half-open shape. He supported his chin and looked at the stars in the night sky.

The purple cat sat on the side like a human. Its butt was on the ground and its upper body was upright. It imitated him and held its paws together, supporting its chin as it looked at the stars.

He glanced at it and saw that it was imitating him. He smiled kindly and retracted his palm. He stroked the cat’s head.” You’ve read so many books.

Don’t you know how to respect people?”

The purple cat retracted its paws and turned its head. Its cat eyes rolled and it cried out.” How did you know I was reading?”

He was speaking in cat language.

Uncle Shi’s smile didn’t fade. He continued, “Don’t learn from others. Otherwise, it’ll be impolite.”.

“Meow!” Purple Cat meowed.

“It’s hard to even have a good sleep,” Uncle Shi sighed.

Footsteps sounded. Zhang Ronghua walked toward the fan with his bird swaying. He saw a man and a cat sitting on the threshold. He smiled and sat down beside them. He took out a plate of ginseng fruit and placed it on the ground. He handed one over and asked casually,” You’re not asleep yet?” “Thank you!” Uncle Shi thanked him.

He took the ginseng fruit and wiped it on his clothes. He took a bite. It was very sweet and watery.” I can’t sleep because I’m old.”

He stood up.

“You’ve been busy all day. This old servant won’t disturb you anymore. Rest early!”

He turned around and entered the room beside him.

Yiya!

The door closed, leaving them alone.

“Are you done reading?” Zhang Ronghua asked.

“Yes.” Purple Cat nodded heavily. With the ginseng fruit in its mouth, it stood up from the ground and flipped a few times proudly. Those who did not know better would think that it was a monkey. It pointed at itself with its little paw.” I have comprehended the Righteousness Qi!”

“???”Zhang Ronghua blinked.

He took a serious look and found that there was indeed a trace of Righteousness Qi in the purple cat. It was very faint and almost invisible. If one didn’t look carefully, one wouldn’t be able to notice it.

“So fast?”

He was truly shocked. It had only been a short while, yet the little fellow had already comprehended Righteousness Qi.

“Have you mastered the knowledge in the book?”

The purple cat nodded proudly. Its eyes were filled with contempt, as if it was saving that such a small matter could stumD a cat.

“I’m testing you!” Zhang Ronghua laughed.

“Tell me!”

“If the heavens do not roll, people will regret their actions. What does this mean?”

Purple Cat stood upright on the spot.” No matter how good it is to be born, if you don’t work hard, your achievements will be limited. If you encounter something, you will regret it.”

“It’s alright.”

He waved his hand, signaling for it to come over.

Purple Cat walked over and stopped in front of him.

Zhang Ronghua picked up the cat and placed it in his arms. It was warm and comfortable. He stroked its fur and squinted his eyes, thinking about Zhu Jiutian. The reason why he didn’t interrogate Zhu Jiutian was because he knew that he wouldn’t be able to get any useful information even if he used the Seven Severing Soul Destroying Palm. It was just a waste of time.

The word ‘darkness’ alone explained everything.

Other than that.

There was a faint smell of blood on his body. It was well hidden. Ordinary people couldn’t smell it and couldn’t hide it from him. From this smell of blood, he must have killed someone before killing him.

Who was this person that could make Zhu Jiutian appear?

Also, why did the darkness want to kill him? If he wanted to take revenge for Desolate Zhu, he could definitely look for the Fate Academy. He deduced that it was probably because the limelight had been too strong recently that some people were afraid or had touched their cake, which was why they used such despicable methods.

Who was it?

Princes? It shouldn’t be. Although he didn’t know much about the Dark, from the recent battles, this organization was more terrifying than he had imagined. What they had shown was probably just the tip of the iceberg. Even the huge forces hidden by the Crown Prince might not be able to compare, let alone the former.

It wasn’t that the princes weren’t strong. On the contrary, none of them were easy to deal with. They hid their strength very well. No one knew how much power they had hidden in the dark except themselves.

Leaving the princes aside, only Grand Secretary Cui was left. Judging from their previous exchange, He Wenxuan might be capable of doing something so stupid, but he wouldn’t!

No one who could become a pavilion elder was simple.

Including now, He Wenxuan was even more experienced in handling matters under his guidance.

There were only these political enemies on the surface. He could not think of anyone.

As for Zhu Jiutian’s death, he wasn’t worried about whether Darkness would suspect him. There were two points. Firstly, he was a civil official with vast knowledge. He was very knowledgeable and powerful. Just like what Ji Xueyan had said before, a person’s ability was limited. It was impossible for him to achieve such high attainments in martial arts. Moreover, his cultivation was only at the seventh tier of the Zongshi realm. He had not improved for a long time. On the surface, he seemed to have been delayed by many trivial matters in the officialdom, which was why he had neglected his martial arts.

The second sacred favor was grand. Emperor Xia had sent people to protect his family, and then he had sent people to protect himself. It was completely reasonable. There was also the Fate Academy. No one knew if Yang Hongling had secretly sent any experts.

After finishing the ginseng fruit in its paw, Purple Cat took one and handed it over.

He retracted his thoughts.

“Thank you!” Zhang Ronghua stroked his fur..
