Inside a brightly lit basement, the atmosphere was a little strange. Shi Lan, the girl Ying Xi had just captured, wasn't restricted. Instead, she had changed into a girl's clothes. She was slender but not weak. Although she was gentle and beautiful, she was full of heroic spirit. She was currently glaring at Ying Xi fiercely.
"Why is Young Lady so hostile?" Ying Xi looked at her with a smile. Gao Yue watched from the side and felt sorry for her. Although Ying Xi was not a person who was full of evil in her eyes, he was still the incarnation of the devil. The Mo Family had suffered a crushing defeat in his hands, but they had no choice but to rely on him. Even she was a tool he used to control the Mo Family. Therefore, they could not help but sympathize with each other.
"What do you want to do to her?" "Yue 'er, you seem to be treating her a little differently," Ying Xi said, feeling a little strange." Don't hurt her." Ying Xi smiled." I was just probing, but I found a lot of interesting things."
She turned to look at Shi Lan." Miss, are you from Mount Shu? "The move you used to block my palm was Mount Shu's Wu Mountain's Morning Clouds. As the saying goes, the morning is the clouds and the evening is the rain." Shi Lan looked up at him."What exactly do you want?"
"Miss, as a member of Mount Shu, you changed your appearance and came to the small Sage Manor in the Qi Lu region. It seems that you have other plans?”，Shi Lan frowned,"This has nothing to do with you." Ying Xi said,"I'm not going to do this.""Previously, the empire had placed all of Sang Hai under control, and almost all of the people with unknown identities were caught in one fell swoop and locked up in the Shadow Secret Guards 'prison. You are also an unknown person, so the scholarly faction is a good choice. Zifang?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a person walk in with a graceful bearing. It was Zhang Liang of the scholarly faction.
"Did Young Master specially instruct the Shadow Secret Guards not to stop me because he expected me to come?”，Ying Xi nodded." With such a thing happening in the scholarly faction, of course Zhang Fang would come. However, if she comes, she should just stay here." Zhang Liang's expression changed. His reaction to this matter was already within his expectations, so why did he keep him here?
"Mr. Fu Nian and Mr. Yan Lu have accepted my invitation to have tea in the reception hall. The entire Little Saint Manor has been watched over by the Shadow Secret Guards. I want to see who will make any strange movements!”。
Zhang Liang had already reacted." Young Master, the Confucians had absolutely no involvement in this matter." Ying Xi waved his hand." Zifang, there's no need to be nervous. I also feel that this matter has nothing to do with the Confucians. It takes an incense stick to burn to get from the small Sage Manor to this remote place. The journey was very quiet and reassuring, but I believe in the truth. A girl who grasped the secret technique of Mount Shu appeared in the holy land of the scholarly faction. This will make people think of many interesting things." I rushed here after receiving the news and didn't do anything else. It seems that this has been confirmed. Otherwise..." Zhang Liang's heart felt like it had fallen into a cold abyss!
" Don't even think about it! Shi Lan looked at him angrily." Your identity is definitely not simple. You wouldn't have come alone. I casually placed you in a dungeon with few guards. Perhaps it's a good opportunity to save someone."
"You want to set a trap!" Ying Xi smiled and said,"I just wanted to see who your friends are. That's a good idea." Shi Lan said indignantly,""You're so despicable!" Ying Xi smiled." This is a net. As for who will come, it will depend on the value of the bait. Don't worry, I'm not a killer, and I don't like to destroy. If you don't pose a threat to the empire, perhaps you can become friends. Someone once said this: if I'm your enemy, then I'm your most terrifying enemy. If I'm your friend, then I'm your dearest friend. I'll give this to you too, Miss Shi Lan."
When Shi Lan heard this, her heart was in a mess. She wanted to risk her life, but she could not even fight him when she was in good condition. Now that her inner qi was sealed, she was no different from an ordinary girl. How could she have the capital to risk her life?
Zhang Liang was just like Shi Lan. The situation of the scholarly faction was also extremely dangerous. It had only been half an incense's time since the incident, but this Twelfth Young Master had probably already made all the preparations, including preparations to start a war with the scholarly faction. Thinking of this, Zhang Liang couldn't help but sweat!
" Alright, everyone, I think someone is about to take action." Although Zhang Liang was terrified, he still tried his best to maintain a solemn expression. Shi Lan was still young, after all, and she was already restless.
Not long after, a secret guard suddenly walked in,"Looks like someone has already made a move.""Young Master, we've already found the traces of the people from Mount Shu. They've been surrounded." Shi Lan said angrily," You can't catch them," Ying Xi said." Oh, looks like these people aren't simple," the Shadow Secret Guardian said."Young master, those people seem to be the guards of Mount Shu, Yuyuan. According to rumors, Yuyuan's guards are warriors who guard the secrets of Mount Shu. The selection process is very strict and cruel. Once they are selected, an elder of Mount Shu will teach them a secret technique, so every single one of them is very difficult to deal with."
" Hmph," Shi Lan snorted coldly, as if confirming her plan. Zhang Liang couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. The Confucians had no connection with Mount Shu, which seemed to clear the suspicion of the Confucians.
" Yu Yuan's guards are indeed powerful, but if it's the Heaven Rank experts from the Network, I don't think they will have any room to resist." Zhang Liang was surprised. Although the Network was mysterious and huge, there were only a dozen Heaven Rank experts. Ying Xi could actually use one of them, or perhaps more.
"Zifang's doubts might be answered very soon." After an hour, another secret guard walked in,"Young Master, we've captured all thirteen of Yuyuan's guards, and the expert who helped us has also left." Ying Xi smiled and said,"I'm here."" The Network is acting wantonly, but they also sent my helpers over. Zifang, I'm also a descendant of the art of war. What I like the most when it comes to war is to gather superior forces and obtain the most bountiful results with the smallest price."
At this moment, Shi Lan was furious, but there was nothing she could do. Zhang Liang said,"Young Master has already captured the person.”，Ying Xi said,"Zifang, don't be anxious. I've caught a big fish, but there might still be small shrimps."
" Young Master, that person is here and has been captured. According to the secret guards, he is the young master of the Xiang Clan in Chu, Xiang Shaoyu." A secret guard walked in and said. Ying Xi nodded with a cold expression," He came from the Little Saint Manor?"”，"Young Master is right, that's exactly the case."
Zhang Liang's heart was already in turmoil. He had secretly taken in Xiang Shaoyu because he was most afraid that Shaoyu's identity would be exposed. These days, Shaoyu had been very well-behaved, and Ying Xi was also very polite to the scholarly faction. But he had never thought that because of a young girl, the situation that the scholarly faction had painstakingly maintained would be destroyed!
"It seems that there are still some people in the scholarly faction who are restless. The Xiang Clan of the Chu Country is a major criminal of the Chu Empire, and I have also sent people to ambush them. However, some of the most important members of the Xiang Clan managed to escape, and yet they appeared in the scholarly faction. Zifang, what do you think?"
"Young Master, this matter has nothing to do with the Confucians. It was all Zhang Liang's doing." Ying Xi sighed."One person? "Zifang has given me a difficult problem. Your identity is complicated, and you have connections with all the major powers. Taking in the remnants of the Xiang clan isn't a big deal. Sigh, Mister Zifang, you don't have to care about this matter anymore. I won't make things difficult for the scholarly faction. You can go back as well. I hope that such a thing won't happen again in the future."
Walking out of here, a breeze blew, but Zhang Liang felt bone-chilling cold. At this time, his clothes were already wet with cold sweat. But sometimes, the most unbearable thing was not the pain, but the beating. He knew that there would be more, but he didn't know when it would come. Thinking of this, Zhang Liang couldn't help sighing." Brother Han Fei, if you were still alive, how would you deal with such a situation?”
