Chapter 127: Plan Before Acting
“What kind of look is that?” Zhao Gou asked.
Liu Shunyi rubbed his face. “You’re the kind-hearted healer, Zhao Gou. How are you even thinking about wiping out an entire family?”
Zhao Gou shrugged it off. “Being kind-hearted has nothing to do with the King of Hell’s business!”
Liu Shunyi stared at Zhao Gou, a bit dazed, and then fell into deep thought. He wondered if he had messed up Zhao Gou’s mindset. This guy’s persona was starting to crumble.
But Zhao Gou continued, “Of course, I’m not just randomly wanting to eliminate the Nangong family. If they’re connected to the Angry Heaven Palace, then they’re not good people. This kind of tumor needs to be removed; otherwise, it will cause more trouble down the line!”
Liu Shunyi completely agreed with his views. Yet, he had a question for Zhao Gou.
“What do you think of Angry Heaven Palace’s strength?”
Zhao Gou thought for a moment and had to admit, “Pretty strong, even a bit mysterious!”
Liu Shunyi said again, “If Angry Heaven Palace can control the opening of secret realms, do you think they wouldn’t know what’s inside those realms?”
“If they know what’s inside, then they must have a way to counter the cultivation restrictions of this inner city. I’d guess Angry Heaven Palace has their tricks up their sleeves!”
“Well, if Angry Heaven Palace is already that powerful, why do they need to collaborate with the local Nangong family?”
Zhao Gou fell silent.
Liu Shunyi patted Zhao Gou on the shoulder. “So, some things still need to be planned before acting!”
Zhao Gou nodded. “I was just a bit confused due to my anger. But tracking down false information about the Nangong family is something I’m good at!”
Saying this, Zhao Gou pulled out his medical bag strapped to his back.
At a glance, it looked like he was just a wandering doctor.
Liu Shunyi couldn’t help but nod. “Great, I’ll go sell some pills!”
After they made their plans, they got started.
However, the confused old dogleg was left scratching his head. “Wait, what about me?”
The dogleg looked a bit lost.
At that moment, Liu Shunyi said, “You go eliminate the Nangong family!”
The old dogleg’s eyes widened. “Huh? Me?!”
Zhao Gou echoed, “If you can’t wipe them out, then at least gather some information about this place!”
The dogleg quickly ran off to find his “dog,” then set out to follow orders.
……
……
Within the secret realm, there was also a royal city.
The royal city was named Great Yan.
If the area outside the royal city was for those below Nascent Soul, then the Great Yan royal city was where true powerhouses gathered.
At that moment, outside the Great Yan royal city, many people had gathered.
Any one of them, if placed outside in the cultivation world, would be a shocking figure.
But now, they all stood there with reverence and respect, quietly waiting outside the royal city.
They did this just to meet the Emperor of Great Yan.
Many of them even brought gifts.
Yet, even then, the Emperor of Great Yan showed no intention of summoning these people.
Still, those prominent figures of the cultivation world didn’t complain and simply waited patiently.
However, the youngest among them, Ji Mingyue, was not pleased.
“Sister, do we really have to do this?”
Ji Suying nodded.
Ji Mingyue just didn’t understand. “Why?”
Ji Suying explained softly, “The Emperor of Great Yan is the master of this secret realm; he controls this entire territory.”
“Some rare treasures are locked away in special hidden realms. If we want to compete for those things, we need the Emperor’s approval.”
“If he doesn’t give his approval, we’ll never have the chance to participate in acquiring those treasures!”
“As for using force? Don’t even think about it. The whole secret realm is under the Emperor’s control. Here, he is the heavens!”
Ji Mingyue lowered her head, silent.
But having grown up in the cultivation world, she was still quite unhappy.
“But if the Emperor doesn’t approve of us, we’ll lose our chance to participate in the secret realm forever, right?”
Ji Suying frowned. “You’re not wrong there, but don’t worry, we will get his endorsement!”
As she said this, Ji Suying glanced at the box in her hands, her eyes filled with confidence.
Ji Mingyue asked another question. “Sister, what if we really get disqualified? Have you thought about what we’ll do then?”
Ji Suying suddenly found herself at a loss for words.
This question was something she hadn’t considered.
Because in her previous life, she had never been disqualified.
In fact, what she prepared for this life was even more important to the Emperor than what she had in her past life.
However, this world was indeed confusing for Ji Suying.
After all, it now included the Earthquake Heaven Palace.
Wait!
Suddenly, Ji Suying’s face changed.
She thought of something.
If the Angry Heaven Palace was an organization formed by people from the long river of time, then did they also know that the Emperor of Great Yan was about to break through the curse and only needed a top-quality Golden Core?
If such a thing was intercepted by people from Angry Heaven Palace, then she might really… be disqualified!
But soon after, Ji Suying reassured herself.
The pills Liu Shunyi gave her had nine pill patterns.
Such pills were extremely rare in the world.
She hadn’t even encountered anything like it in her previous life.
With that alone, she should be safe from disqualification.

Just as Ji Suying was deep in thought…
“Dong…”
A bell rang.
Then an old man dressed in official clothing walked out from the city gate.
The old man first bowed to the crowd.
Only then did he say, “The Emperor knows why you’ve come, but he also mentioned that this secret realm is limited in size, and only a select few can be summoned.”
With that, the old man took a decree from a nearby eunuch.
“The next names will be those summoned by the Emperor. If your name is called, follow me into the palace. If your name is not called, then you might as well rest here or head back!”
After finishing his words, the old man began to read the decree.
Once the decree was finished, Ji Mingyue quietly observed Ji Suying’s extremely pale face.
Because Ji Suying wasn’t on the list.
“Sister, what do we do now?”
Ji Suying pondered for a bit.
Then she smiled. “I have another candidate!”
After saying that, Ji Suying led Ji Mingyue towards another location.
Before long, Ji Suying brought Ji Mingyue to the outside of a dilapidated house.
Just then, a young man in rough clothes, carrying a hoe, returned from outside.
The young man looked at Ji Suying and Ji Mingyue standing at his door.
After a long silence, he sighed.
“If you ladies don’t mind, please come in and sit for a bit!”
Ji Suying bowed. “Thank you, Third Prince!”
The young man only smiled.
He didn’t seem surprised that Ji Suying knew his identity.
Ji Suying and Ji Mingyue entered the Third Prince’s residence.
Though the house was simple, it was clean and lacked for nothing.
There was even no odd odor inside.
The young man poured tea for the two and then took a seat himself.
