520 Confrontation (2)

Their mission was to obey their master’s orders. You Yi cupped his fists and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

In fact, in order to prevent Xuanyuan Ye from taking revenge on Shen Yijia, the best way was to take back Night Soul. Unfortunately, Night Soul’s master was the emperor of the Xuanyuan Kingdom. He would not attack Xuanyuan Ce, nor would he listen to him.

To Night Soul, who had received the order to protect Xuanyuan Ye, Xuanyuan Ce’s words were not as effective as Xuanyuan Ye’s.

Surprise flashed across Chu Feng’s face. His lord was too biased.

Xuanyuan Ce glanced at him and did not explain. He fiddled with the ring on his finger and asked, “Have you found out what I asked you to find out?”

Chu Feng immediately straightened his expression and took out a few envelopes. “Your Highness, have you heard of the Valley of Heavenly Secrets?”

“The Valley of Heavenly Secrets?” Xuanyuan Ce frowned and thought for a moment before saying, “The Imperial Preceptor of the previous dynasty?”

Anyone who had heard of the Valley of Heavenly Secrets would naturally think of the Imperial Preceptor, who was second only to one person in the previous dynasty.

Chu Feng nodded and opened one of the envelopes. He took out the neatly folded parchment inside and opened it. On it was a woman in a white dress.

“Our people found this among the commoners. It’s a portrait of the Imperial Preceptor of the previous dynasty,” Chu Feng explained.

Xuanyuan Ce took the portrait and saw the mark between the woman’s eyebrows. His pupils constricted.

Chu Feng probed, “I suspect that Princess Yong’an is from the Valley of Heavenly Secrets. Could the person Your Highness is looking for be…”

The once prosperous Valley of Heavenly Secrets disappeared from everyone’s sight with the destruction of the previous dynasty, along with the records of the Valley of Heavenly Secrets.

It was lucky that his subordinates could find this portrait. It would probably be even more difficult to find the location of the Valley of Heavenly Secrets.

Xuanyuan Ce naturally knew that. The world was so big that it was difficult to find the hiding place of a hidden family.

However, it was different now. Ji Yunxi was around. Since she wanted to get close to him, how could he not give her a chance?

He did not know why Ji Yunxi approached him, nor did he know if Ji Luo was still alive.

However, Xuanyuan Ce knew that if he wanted to find out about Ji Luo, he had to find the Valley of Heavenly Secrets first. If he wanted to find the Valley of Heavenly Secrets, he had to start with Ji Yunxi.

Moreover, Ji Luo had risked his life to send his daughter away back then because he definitely didn’t want others to know of her existence. If he rashly went up and acknowledged her, he would inevitably put her in danger.

Therefore, what he had to do now was not to go up and acknowledge them, but to figure out what had happened to Ji Luo back then.

This way, he could give that girl an explanation.

At that time, whether she acknowledged him as her biological father or wanted to kill him to avenge Ji Luo, he would tell her the truth.

That was, if he could find Ji Luo.

Then he would have no regrets in this life!

The concealment skills of the Demon Guards were clearly not something ordinary people could compare to. This was obvious from how Shen Yijia had not discovered them after meeting Xuanyuan Ce so many times.

She did not realize that there were many people around her. She only occasionally felt a pair of eyes looking at her. Although that gaze was not malicious, it always made her feel uneasy.

Previously, she was worried that the printing technique would be leaked, so the bookstore had never opened. Now, she did not have to worry about this. Shen Yijia would bring Mo Yuan out for the next few days.

She hired a master who carved the words and pasted job recruitment information outside the shop. Apart from the workers needed for the workshop’s printing, there were also the shopkeeper and shop a.s.sistants.

As for the workshop, she found another place to rent two courtyards in the south of the city. Once the single word was carved, the workers could start work.

At first, she thought that that gaze might be a coincidence. After working for a few days, she realized that it was still there. She couldn’t take it anymore.

At night, she decisively reported to Song Jingchen, “Hubby, I think I’ve been targeted by a ghost.”

You Yi, who was hiding in the dark, was speechless.

Apart from their skills, the Demon Guards had also been trained to hide since they were young. This was very difficult for others, but to them, it had already become an instinct.

He had protected Xuanyuan Ce for so long. As long as he was unwilling, no one had ever discovered his existence.

It was not until he was sent to Shen Yijia’s side that he realized for the first time that eating and drinking was so difficult.

In the past few days, he had been on the verge of being exposed.

“I’m so f*cking tired!” he thought.

Now, he was even treated as a ghost.

You Yi resisted the urge to go out and prove his ident.i.ty. He silently retracted his aura and hid himself even more.
