Ye Jingtang’s footsteps slid back and forth. The muscles in his arms were bulging, and his black robe suddenly tightened.

Bam!

A strong gust of wind suddenly rose, pressing down on the surrounding flowers and trees and lifting Dongfang Liren’s long hair!!

“Haa!” The explosive roar was like thunder!

Ye Jingtang’s eyes were sharp, and his strength rose from the ground as he threw a powerful punch…

“Huh?!!”

When Dongfang Liren saw this scene that resembled killing gods and devils, she was so shocked that her beautiful face turned pale. She quickly used the Hornless Dragon Saber to block in front of her and took a few steps back with fear in her eyes.

The big bird acting cute at the side also jumped far away.

Ye Jingtang stopped the punch. He looked at the princess who was full of confidence just now and blinked. “Hmm?”

How dare you?! Dongfang Liren was rather angry, feeling that Ye Jingtang really didn’t know what was good for him. She said angrily, “1 told you to use strength, so you want to beat me half to death with a punch?”

“Uh… I thought the Roaring Dragon Chart was very powerful. I forgot that Your Highness was still practicing it…”

“What do you mean?”

Ye Jingtang loosened his fist and cupped his hands bitterly. “I don’t mean anything. Uhh… Sorry for offending Your Highness.”

Dongfang Liren knew that Ye Jingtang felt that she was lousy and liked to play, so she was really dissatisfied. She didn’t give Ye Jingtang a chance to test how hard her fists were and continued to practice the saber technique. “You want to see the Roaring Dragon Chart?”

Ye Jingtang smiled. “It’s the most precious treasure in Jianghu, so of course 1 want to see it. But it’s said that this object is a forbidden item. If you obtain it, you can obtain the world. If Your Highness shows it to me, I’m afraid…”

“I believe that you can ‘become immortal and ascend’, but ‘obtaining the world’ is nonsense. The situation of the world has never depended on one person or one martial arts technique, but on the will of the people. As long as you perform well, 1 don’t mind letting you see it in the future.”

Ye Jingtang knew that it wouldn’t be that easy. He nodded and smiled. “Thanks for Your Highness’s favor. 1 have to go to the corner tower and meet up with Sir Shang and the others to report my safety. Why don’t 1 get the bird to accompany Your Highness while I go over there?”

If the secret guards didn’t appear when the time came, the others would mistakenly think that something had happened. Dongfang Liren didn’t ask him to stay and threw the saber to Ye Jingtang. “Go and come back quickly. I’m still waiting for you to teach me the saber technique. If you can’t teach me, don’t even think about learning the Dragon Slaying Decree.”

Sigh… Ye Jingtang estimated that it would be at least a year and a half later by the time he could learn the Dragon Slaying Decree. He nodded helplessly, sheathed his saber, cupped his hands, and quickly left the Great Blessing Palace…

While Ye Jingtang and Dongfang Liren were exchanging martial arts in the courtyard, they didn’t notice that there was a gaze scrutinizing them from the top of the palace not far away.

The empress, wearing a bright red dress, crossed her arms and looked at her sister and the handsome young master playing in the courtyard where they grew up together, her eyes filled with emotions.

When they were young, Liren had been very strong and liked to dance with spears and staves. However, Liren hadn’t been her match at all. She hadn’t stood on ceremony and had often teased Liren for being a stupid girl.

Those days were very interesting. Unfortunately, the two of them had already grown up, so it was very difficult for them to fight and spar like before.

Out of respect for the Prince of Jing, the Grandmasters under their command would never truly fight with Liren, let alone strike her.

But Ye Jingtang was different. He was extraordinarily handsome and just as talented as she was back then. He could tease and scare Liren, but he knew that she was proud and arrogant, so he could also be accommodating. He would admit defeat when he should so that she wouldn’t really be unhappy.

Such a man truly matched Liren’s aesthetic standards. It was no wonder that she treated him differently and even dared to hide it from her biological sister.

After Ye Jingtang left, Liren held a saber and stared in the direction he left. Her expression was fleeting, and it was obvious that she had something on her mind.

Afterward, she practiced the saber for a while before turning around to take a look. The emotion of waiting for Ye Jingtang to come back quickly and continue practicing the saber with her was almost written in her eyes.

She’s obviously interested in Ye Jingtang and wants to continue associating and developing…

But it seems that Ye Jingtang only treats Liren as a princess and doesn’t seem to be tempted. He even deliberately keeps a distance…

Thinking of this, the empress frowned.

This is a big problem. Liren has a cold personality and doesn’t know how to express her feelings. If she pursues the person she likes herself, there might not be any results even after three or five years. She might even end up with a pitiful ending where she can’t get what she wants and becomes depressed…

The empress deliberated for a moment, looked in the direction where Ye Jingtang had left, turned around, and walked toward somewhere in the Imperial City…

They had entered the palace at dusk. After meeting twice, it was about ten o’clock at night.

Ye Jingtang returned from the corner building and went straight to the Great Blessing Palace so as not to make Dongfang Dumdum wait for too long.

However, he didn’t know if it was because there was something strange in the palace, but just as he passed through a few palaces and before he arrived at the Great Blessing Palace, he saw a palace maid walking back and forth alone in the corridor.

The palace maid was holding a palace lantern in her hand. She was dressed in red and had a well-rounded and tall figure. Her appearance was devastatingly beautiful. Even from afar, he could recognize her from her unique disposition of being the center of attention everywhere.

Miss Yuhu?Ye Jingtang stopped with a surprised look in his eyes.

Guards were responsible for interrogating suspicious figures. When he saw the palace maid he met at Jasper Pavilion yesterday and that her eyes seemed to be full of worry, he landed at the other end of the corridor and said in the tone of a guard, “Who is here in the middle of the night… Miss Yuhu?”

In the corridor, the Great Wei empress, who had been waiting for a long time, smiled, but her expression was still troubled. “Young Master Ye?! Why are you…”

“Her Highness the Prince of Jing ordered me to be a guard and patrol the Imperial City. Miss Yuhu, why are you here alone? Are you in trouble?”

“Sigh-” The empress had a worried look on her face. “It’s not much trouble. In the afternoon, Her Majesty the Empress was bathing in the Bright Yang Pool, and 1 was serving by the side. I lost the jade pendant I carried with me when I took off my clothes. The jade pendant was something left by my mother…”

Ye Jingtang frowned slightly. “Then go look for it. Why are you standing here?”

The empress bit her lower lip lightly. Her pitiful and seductive expression would probably shock the civil and military officials who were usually afraid of her. “I can’t wander around the palace, and 1 have no reason to go look for it… The Bright Yang Pool is cleaned every morning. If the eunuchs and palace maids see it and take it away, 1 definitely won’t be able to find it… Young Master, as a secret guard, I wonder if you can…”

Ye Jingtang was in charge of patrolling the Imperial City. Other than the empress’s bedroom, he could go to any place openly, and helping the palace servants run errands was also within his duty. He didn’t reject such a simple task. “Alright, I’ll help you take a look. Where did you drop the jade pendant?” “I’ve searched for it on the shore, but I didn’t find anything. It must have fallen into the pool. I’m really sorry to trouble you, Young Master Ye. As long as you can help me find it, 1 will certainly be grateful.”

“It’s nothing more than some effort. Let’s find it first.”

Ye Jingtang didn’t delay. He asked Yuhu to point out the location of the Bright Yang Pool and walked over quickly.

The Bright Yang Pool was located in the southwest of the Imperial City. It was an independent palace surrounded by green plants and a rather beautiful hall. It was already late at night, and because it was a place for bathing, it was quiet and deserted.

Ye Jingtang arrived at the outside of the Bright Yang Pool openly and looked around. When he didn’t see eunuchs and palace maids on duty, he went straight to the outside of the hall and pushed open the door.

There were many beautiful screens erected inside the door. On the shore were beautiful couches, golden incense burners, and other things. In the center was an ‘indoor pool’.

The pool was made of white jade and was quite large. White mist floated on the surface of the water, and a dragon-headed fountain could be seen in the east, spewing running water into the pool. It looked like an indoor hot spring.

The mist blocked the view of the bottom of the pool, and there was no light. It wouldn’t be easy to find a jade pendant.

After Ye Jingtang searched around the pool, he didn’t see the jade pendant. So he slid into the pool and dived into the water.. He held his breath and carefully searched along the edges of the pool…
