Chapter 33 The Bad Guy Commander
And countless tears blurred her vision once again.
She collapsed helplessly into the bathtub, letting the icy water completely submerge her.
·······
Ye Tian staggered as he fled the Princess's bedroom.
The sensual yet thrilling scene from just moments ago kept replaying in his mind.
Li Yunrui's curvaceous and alluringly beautiful body, along with her possessive gaze, stirred Ye Tian's heart like a burning flame.
"call,"
Ye Tian let out a long sigh of relief, trying to calm his still somewhat erratic heartbeat.
He knew that he had almost lost control just now.
Li Yunrui's allure is simply too deadly!
Even with his two lifetimes and unwavering resolve, he nearly succumbed completely to the allure of that gentle embrace.
"No! We absolutely cannot stay at the Princess's residence any longer!"
Ye Tian thought to himself.
He knew that Li Yunrui's feelings for him had become completely distorted, even somewhat pathological.
If I continue to stay by her side, I will eventually be consumed by her mad love.
He must leave as soon as possible!
Upon returning to his residence, Ye Tian immediately dismissed all the maids.
He needs to be alone for a while to sort out his thoughts.
At the same time, it is also necessary to calm down the anger in one's heart.
Night deepened.
Ye Tian sat cross-legged on the bed, circulating the Heaven-Covering Technique to calm the restless blood and qi within his body.
After a long while, he slowly opened his eyes, his gaze regaining its usual clarity and depth.
"The Grand Canal transport in Jiangnan,"
Ye Tian murmured softly, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
Emperor Qing threw this hot potato at him; his intentions were despicable.
But Ye Tian is not someone to be trifled with!
Since we're going to Jiangnan, let's make a huge scene!
"Yuan Tiangang".
With a thought, Ye Tian contacted the Bad Commander by summoning the space.
"Master, what are your orders?"
Yuan Tiangang's aged and hoarse voice echoed in Ye Tian's mind.
"Immediately activate all of the Bad Guys' undercover agents in Jiangnan and thoroughly investigate the corruption case in the Jiangnan canal transport sector!"
Ye Tian's voice was cold yet filled with unquestionable authority.
"No matter who's involved, no matter how high their rank, I will investigate them thoroughly!"
"I must know exactly how those corrupt officials hiding deep within the Jiangnan bureaucracy colluded, lined their own pockets, and preyed on the people!"
"Yes, Master!" Yuan Tiangang replied respectfully, "I will take care of it immediately!"
He knew that his little master was finally about to show his fangs!
And Jiangnan will become the first whetstone for him to become famous throughout the world!
"And one more thing," Ye Tian paused, then continued, "Where is Zhao Gao?"
"Your subordinate is here."
A soft, yet slightly metallic voice echoed in Ye Tian's mind.
It was Zhao Gao, the leader of the Luo Wang organization.
"I hereby command you to depart immediately for Northern Qi!"
Ye Tian's voice was filled with an unquestionable command.
"Use the power of the Net to weave a net that can't be cast in the sky for me in Northern Qi!"
"I must know every move within the Northern Qi court, every secret of the Northern Qi royal family, and all the deployments of the Northern Qi military!"
"I will not only control Southern Qing, but also firmly grasp the entire Northern Qi in my hands!"
Upon hearing this, a barely perceptible glint flashed in Zhao Gao's eyes.
"Master is wise!"
He said respectfully.
"Although the Northern Qi was not as powerful as the Southern Qing, its internal situation was also turbulent, with numerous factions."
"If managed properly, it's not impossible to profit from it, or even replace it!"
Ye Tian nodded in satisfaction.
He knew that Zhao Gao, that cunning old fox, was best at stirring up trouble in the shadows and reaping the benefits.
With him going to Northern Qi to make arrangements, I can save myself a lot of trouble in the future.
"Go," Ye Tian said calmly. "I await your good news."
"Yes, Master!"
Yuan Tiangang and Zhao Gao responded respectfully at the same time, and then quickly disappeared into the summoning space.
Ye Tian looked out the window at the pitch-black night sky, his eyes as deep as the sea, and a cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
Emperor Qing, do you think you can trap me by throwing me into that quagmire in Jiangnan?
You underestimate me, Ye Tian!
You're underestimating the power I wield!
Jiangnan is just the beginning for me!
My goal is the whole world!
.
Just as Ye Tian was busily laying out his plans.
His battle with Yan Xiaoyi in the back garden of the Princess's residence spread like wildfire throughout the upper circles of the capital.
A thirteen-year-old at the peak of the ninth rank!
He snapped a wolf-tooth arrow in two with his bare hands!
He defeated Yan Xiaoyi, a ninth-rank archer, in one move!
Every piece of news is enough to leave people speechless with shock!
These messages naturally reached the ears of the Control Yuan as quickly as possible.
Inside the sealed room.
Sitting in his wheelchair, Chen Pingping listened to the report from his secret agents, his deep eyes flashing with disbelief!
"What did you say?!"
"Ye Tian... he actually possesses the strength of a peak ninth-grade cultivator?!"
Chen Pingping's voice was filled with barely suppressed excitement and ecstasy!
He knew Ye Tian was a prodigy, but he never expected Ye Tian to be so prodigy!
A thirteen-year-old at the peak of the ninth rank!
What a terrifying concept this is!
Looking across the entire world, throughout history, there has never been such a heaven-defying existence!
"Absolutely true!" the spy replied respectfully. "This was witnessed by several servants of the Princess's residence; there is absolutely no falsehood!"
"Moreover, it is said that Young Master Ye smashed an artificial mountain with just a tree branch and a pebble!"
"Then, he easily caught an arrow that Yan Xiaoyi had fired with all his might using just two fingers, and broke it in two!"
"In the end, with just one move, he beat Yan Xiaoyi until he coughed up blood, broke his arm, and completely lost his fighting ability!"
The spy became more and more excited as he spoke, as if he had personally witnessed that thrilling battle.
After listening to the report, Chen Pingping fell into a long silence.
A tidal wave of emotions had already surged within him!
Shocked!
An unparalleled and breathtaking experience!
He knew that he had underestimated this child!
Underestimating this one, a peerless prodigy with Ye Qingmei's bloodline flowing through his veins!
"Ha ha ha ha,"
Suddenly, Chen Pingping threw his head back and burst into laughter, his laughter filled with endless surprise and joy!
"Good! Good! Good!"
"As expected of Qingmei's son!"
"As expected of the person I, Chen Pingping, have chosen!"
He was so excited that he was trembling all over, and his crippled legs even tried to stand up from the wheelchair!
The stronger Ye Tian is, the greater their chance of avenging Ye Qingmei!
The stronger Ye Tian becomes, the greater their hope of overthrowing Emperor Qing's tyranny and establishing a new world!
"Pass down the order!"
Chen Pingping suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with icy killing intent and unquestionable majesty!
"From this day forward, all agents and resources of the Overwatch Council shall, at all costs, fully cooperate with Young Master Ye's operations in Jiangnan!"
"Anyone who dares to harm Young Master Ye will be killed without mercy!"
"Yes, Dean!"
The spy respectfully replied and then quickly withdrew.
Inside the secret room, the usual silence returned once more.
But Chen Pingping's heart remained unsettled for a long time.
His gaze was fixed on the pitch-black night sky outside the window, his eyes filled with boundless longing and anticipation for the future!
"Qingmei, did you see that?"
"Your son has grown up."
"He will soon get justice for you!"
"And I will always stay by his side, until the very last moment!"
··········
Deep within the palace, in the imperial study.
The flickering candlelight illuminated Emperor Qing's ever-changing face.
Hong Sixiang knelt on the ground, his body trembling, his face as pale as paper, not daring to lift his head even once.
Just now, he reported to Emperor Qing the news he had learned from the Censorate and other channels about how Ye Tian defeated the ninth-rank archer Yan Xiaoyi in one move in the back garden of the Princess's residence and displayed terrifying strength at the peak of the ninth rank.
The entire Imperial Study was so quiet you could hear a pin drop; the atmosphere was incredibly oppressive!
Emperor Qing sat upright on the dragon throne, without uttering a word.
But Hong Sixiang could clearly feel a terrifying, suffocating rage emanating wildly from the emperor!
"What did you say?!"
Finally, Emperor Qing spoke.
His voice was eerily calm, yet carried a chilling undertone.
"Ye Tian, he's at the peak of the ninth rank?!"
"Yes, Your Majesty," Hong Sixiang's voice trembled with barely concealed fear, "the news is absolutely true."
"Bang!"
Emperor Qing slammed his hand on the dragon table, and the incredibly hard sandalwood dragon table was cracked by his palm!
"Useless! They're all useless!"
Emperor Qing could no longer contain his rage and roared like a wounded beast!
"A thirteen-year-old at the peak of the ninth rank!!"
"Such a monstrous talent has actually appeared right under my nose, without me even noticing!"
"You bunch of lackeys! What have you been doing all day?!"
"The Censorate! Kyoto Prefecture! Imperial Guards! Are you all blind?!"
Emperor Qing's rage erupted like a volcano!
He slammed the memorials on his desk to the ground, and swept the precious porcelain pieces to the ground with his sleeve, shattering them into pieces!
The entire imperial study was in a complete mess!
Hong Sixiang knelt on the ground, his body trembling like a leaf, his clothes already soaked with cold sweat.
He knew that His Majesty was truly furious!
It's true, I was scared!
A thirteen-year-old at the peak of the ninth rank!
What a terrifying concept this is!
This means that Ye Tian's future achievements are absolutely limitless!
She might even surpass Ye Qingmei from back then!
It has become a variable that neither the Qing Kingdom nor even the entire world can control!
Emperor Qing paced back and forth in his study, his chest heaving violently, his eyes filled with rage and a barely perceptible fear.
He thought of Ye Qingmei from back then.
That equally enchanting, equally uncontrollable woman.
That woman, whom he ultimately destroyed with his own hands!
Is history about to repeat itself?!
Could it be that he has nurtured yet another monster, one capable of threatening his imperial power?!
"No! We absolutely cannot let him grow any further!"
A cold killing intent flashed in Emperor Qing's eyes!
He even had an impulse to take immediate action and nip this potentially huge threat in the bud!
With his Grandmaster strength, killing a peak Ninth Rank cultivator would be troublesome, but not impossible!
