Ghostfear was secretly covering for him. Once Wei Qing was in danger, the plan would be terminated in time.

Wei Liulang went to the military camp to inform his father to rush to the peach forest.

The elder called Feng Wuchang whom Sect Master Lu mentioned should be the expert that Wei Ting had sensed in the Myriad Immortals Building.

Perhaps only their father could deal with him.

Wei Ting and Su MO brought people to the peach forest to look for mechanisms and choose the best ambush location. At the same time, they could also set up some new mechanisms.

Su Li implored, “I want to go too!”

Su MO nodded. “Alright, we’re short of a guard.”

Su Li was speechless.

Su Li pointed at Su Xuan. “Where’s Fourth Brother? What’s he doing?”

Su MO said, “He has other missions.”

Su Li harrumphed. “I want another mission too.”

Wei Ting gave him a big cover. “Pretend to be blind and wait along the way.” Su Li was speechless.

Wei Liulang muttered, “If only Second Brother’s Black-armored Guards were here.”

Wei Qing said, “There are too many traps in the peach forest of the White Lotus Society. It’s not suitable for the Black-armored Guards to fight.”

The Black-armored Guards and the Saintess stayed in the Southern Wilderness for the time being. On one hand, they were guarding the Cheng Family, and on the other hand, the mine was going to undergo a great purge, so they had to guard against the other families secretly playing tricks.

However, a few days ago, they received a messenger pigeon from Uncle Quan. The Cheng family and the mine had almost been dealt with.

The Saintess and the Black-armored Guards would soon set off for Great Zhou.

Wei Qing could only hope that the Black-armored Guards could reach the capital before they set off for Thousand Mountains Island.

At night, Xiahou Yan finished reading all the information gathered by the Myriad Immortals Building as usual.

Back then, he had chosen to open the Myriad Immortals Building because a brothel was suitable for gathering information.

However, ever since Xiao Zhonghua became the Crown Prince, the number of high-ranking officials who came to visit the brothel had decreased. Even if they came, they could not reveal too much useful information.

This Xiao Zhonghua was really something!

Xiahou Yan threw the secret letter into the incense burner and burned it. He sat cross-legged on the bed and meditated.

Suddenly, a hidden weapon broke through the window.

He tilted his head and dodged.

The concealed weapon pinned a note to the wall behind him.

Cautiously, he wrapped the handkerchief around his hand and pulled out the hidden weapon and the note.

“Pear Blossom Dart?”

He narrowed his eyes and unfolded the note again. He saw that it was written in a flamboyant manner:

“Get out of Great Zhou, or I’ll kill you without mercy!”

Xiahou Yan used his inner energy to turn the paper ball into ashes!

He suddenly went to the window and pushed it open.

He glanced around and caught a glimpse of a thin figure in the teahouse opposite.

The owner of the figure seemed to have noticed his gaze and suddenly pulled down the window.

Xiahou Yan narrowed his eyes meaningfully.

There were numerous experts in the Flower Palace, so if he was unable to dodge in time after shooting the dart, then he would probably wonder if this person was indeed a member of the Flower Palace.

However, if the other party deliberately did not dodge and lured him out, he had to consider if the other party was setting a trap for him.

Xiahou Yan weighed the Pear Blossom Dart in his hand. “Interesting.” After Wei Qing finished shooting the dart, he went to the back alley of the teahouse.

Ghostfear and Wei Liulang were both there.

“Why haven’t you left yet?” Wei Qing asked Wei Liulang.

Wei Liulang said righteously, “I have to wait for your news to be confirmed before leaving. If Xiahou Yan doesn’t take the bait, wouldn’t I have gone to inform Father for nothing?”

Ghostfear asked, “Will he take the bait?”

Wei Qing said, “It depends on his attitude towards that dart.”

Ghostfear said warily, “Someone’s coming! Let’s go!”

The three of them split up.

Wei Qing exposed himself in the open, while Ghostfear and Wei Liulang followed him in the dark.

A black-clothed assassin quickly targeted Wei Qing and chased after him with his Light-body Technique.

In the Myriad Immortals Building, Guardian Liu came to Xiahou Yan’s room.

“Fourth Young Master, did you summon me?

Xiahou Yan played with the Pear Blossom Dart in his hand and gestured for him to sit.

Guardian Liu sat down beside Xiahou Yan.

Xiahou Yan passed the pear blossom dart to him. “Take a look. Is this a hidden weapon of the Hundred Flowers Palace?”

Guardian Liu took it with both hands and examined it carefully before he nodded and said, “It’s a concealed weapon from the Hundred Flowers Palace. May I ask Fourth Young Master where this Pear Blossom Dart came from?”

Xiahou Yan tapped the table. “Someone shot it into my room just now, along with this note.”

Guardian Liu took the note and looked at it.

Seeing that extremely arrogant statement, his expression changed slightly.

Xiahou Yan said casually, “Looks like the people from the Hundred Flowers Palace already know that I’m in the capital of the Great Zhou. Guardian Liu, could it be that you told them my whereabouts?”

Guardian Liu hurriedly stood up and cupped his hands. “I wouldn’t dare!”

Xiahou Yan sneered with disdain. “A mere Hundred Flowers Palace dares to order me around? Guardian Liu, what do you think?”

“Well .

Guardian Liu had a complicated expression.

Xiahou Yan said, “You saw it as well. I didn’t offend the Hundred Flowers Palace, and it was the Hundred Flowers Palace that threatened me. Why don’t you help me capture that thief from the Hundred Flowers Palace?”

Guardian Liu had a complicated expression. “The City Lord instructed us not to offend the Hundred Flowers Palace.”

Xia Houyan smiled faintly. “Does that mean Guardian Liu doesn’t dare?” Guardian Liu did not speak.

Guardian Liu had left the island under the City Lord’s orders, and recalling Old Qiu was his mission.

Xiahou Yan could ask him for help, but he could not force him with his identity.

“Guardian Liu, go and rest.”

Guardian Liu bowed and left the house.

Wuyou entered with injuries. “Young Master, Wuyou will and capture him!”

Xiahou Yan said indifferently, “There’s no need. Qingyan has already left. That Liu fellow is really tight-lipped. He’s already come this far, yet he refuses to tell me about the relationship between foster father and the Hundred Flowers

Palace.”

Wuyou said, “Perhaps that person from the Hundred Flowers Palace will know.” At dawn, Qingyan returned to the Myriad Immortals Building covered in wounds.

“Fourth Master! ”

He fell into Xiahou Yan’s room.

Xiahou Yan woke up early and had been waiting for news.

Xiahou Yan frowned. “Did you fight with the member of the Hundred Flowers Palace? Have you found out his identity?”

Qing Yan said weakly, “He covered his face and refused to say who he was. He only asked me to pass a message to Fourth Master. If you want to know the secrets of the City Lord and the Hundred Flowers Palace, go to the peach forest outside the western city gate to see him.”

“He also said that even if you succeed in Great Zhou, you will never be able to become the heir if you can’t grasp this secret.”

Wuyou said, “Fourth Young Master, this is a trap!”

Xiahou Yan knew that there was a trap waiting for him.

But the piece of meat in the trap was too tempting.

Xiahou Yan said indifferently, “Go to the streets and capture ten people. Take the women and children to the peach forest.”

With that, he went to the room at the west end that had almost never been opened. His attitude became very humble.

“Elder Feng, I’m going to the peach forest to meet someone. Perhaps I’ll encounter danger. Please help me.”

In the pitch-black room, a powerful aura moved majestically. The window lattices and the porch trembled from the vibration.

Xiahou Yan’s Qi and blood began to flow in reverse.

The guards on the walkway felt a sharp pain in their chests and blood flowed from the corners of their mouths.

Even Wuyou and Qing Yan, who were far away in the east wing, could not support their bodies and knelt on the ground. Was this Elder Feng’s inner energy?

It was too terrifying…

Xiahou Yan clenched his fists and concentrated his energy in his diaphragm.

Suddenly, everything returned to normal.

The door opened and a burly old man in a gray robe walked out with a cold iron walking stick..
