Chapter 284: Ning Weiwei’s Arrival
This night, inside the Northern Cloud Residence of the Inner Capital, was undoubtedly peaceful.
However, the seemingly tranquil night of the Imperial Capital was mixed with many undercurrents. Ordinary people were probably the first to fall asleep this night, like a flock of migrant birds. Unlike those with significant families and businesses, if this place proved restless, they would simply relocate elsewhere.
The really restless and scheming, of course, were the notable figures of the Imperial Capital such as the major business tycoons, ancient Noble Clans, aristocratic family doors of all sizes, and the true noble families of the Imperial Capital.
Every change of the ruling class in the history of Xuanyuan Nation meant that if there was a major shift in the Imperial Capital, inevitably two-thirds of the families would diminish. What was Northern Border King Ye Feng plotting with his sudden, uninvited move to the south?
Prompting everyone to be extremely cautious!
And what did those eight hundred and four cannons fired during the day signify? Anyone who understood the implications found it hard to remain calm. The 300,000 soldiers of the Northern Border, with their chilling murderous aura, had already marched from the Sixth County of the Outer Capital to the Fifth District.
Overnight, another 200,000 Northern Border soldiers swarmed towards the south.
The Buddha says, it’s better to rely on oneself than to seek help from others.
The Imperial Capital’s General’s Mansion was lit up all night, with a constant flow of people and vehicles.
All in all, throughout the night, far too many people moved around this prosperous and bustling ancient city. In the alleys and main streets, those with sharp eyes could spot many who seemed ordinary but were most certainly not. As for which group these people belonged to, probably only they themselves knew.
It’s like the calm before a storm!
The following day.
The sunshine seemed to be there just to welcome Ye Feng’s arrival. The next day, the Imperial Capital was once again hit by a cold northwest wind. Although it was overcast and no snow fell, the weather felt colder than snowy days. Fortunately, the residents of the Imperial Capital were well accustomed to this.
"Once the Great Guardian Sect Leader returns, the Fengyun Pavilion should have another meeting,"
Ye Feng quietly listened to Shadow’s report in the study, a report that detailed the overnight activities of powers big and small throughout the Inner Capital.
Eleven of the Imperial Capital’s big shots had visited the General’s Mansion.
Seventy-six people had called on the headquarters of the Imperial Capital Supervisory Heaven Department.
Among the Eight Great Clans of the Imperial Capital, how many members of each family had gone out and come in.
...
Such a vast amount of data was completely recorded both on the list on the desk and in Shadow’s verbal report. And to achieve this, manpower was indisputably an essential part.
As for how many members Ye Feng’s newly established Hidden Army had, it remained a mystery.
"Is the Grand Sect Leader leaving at this time intentional?" Shadow asked doubtfully.
"Not necessarily," Ye Feng replied, lightly tapping the armchair.
Intuition told Ye Feng that he was more inclined to believe the Grand Sect Leader’s statement that he had flown away and could not return, and he had a rough guess about where Feng Yuan might be. However, being able to hold the position of Great Guardian Sect Leader for half a century...
Ye Feng admitted that he couldn’t fathom the cunning of Grand Sect Leader Zhao Gongming.
"Master, there is another matter regarding the Shasha Sea. There’s some new information," Shadow didn’t pry further.
Long ago, she considered herself as Ye Feng’s shadow. Whatever Ye Feng did, she would follow, and anything inconvenient for Ye Feng to handle, she’d step in.@@@@
"Let’s hear it."
"It’s about a person named Shasha Sea Buddha Master. I am diligently investigating this person’s whereabouts and specific movements. I believe it won’t be long before there are results," Shadow reported confidently.
"Good, tell me immediately once you have results," Ye Feng instructed right away.
Shasha Sea Buddha Master?
The nickname sounded quite interesting. Ye Feng wondered if it would turn out to be a false alarm.
"Master, I won’t disturb you further if there’s nothing else,"
With Ye Feng’s nod, Shadow casually drew across the air as if opening a shadowy door, turning into a black light as she dived into it, disappearing without a trace.
The way she appeared and left changed, huh!
Ye Feng was secretly amazed. It seemed that Shadow’s abilities had evolved yet again. Supernatural Ability Users indeed had peculiar powers. Even someone as strong as himself couldn’t keep Shadow by his side.
On the desk, there remained many more things waiting for Ye Feng’s attention.
Understandably, they were surprised!
Most importantly, the person capable of owning such a villa must be extraordinary.
"It was presumptuous of me,"
Yu Cheng nonchalantly stepped aside, his gaze signaling to the others.
Thud thud! One by one,
A sensible minion stepped forward to knock on the door for him.
Once, twice... before the fifth knock, the door creaked open, and facing them was a woman.
A beauty!
Such a refined and elegant girl, brimming with spiritual energy. As a veteran in the realm of romance, Yu Cheng instantly recognized the unique quality in Hong Qingyan; her aura, understated yet prominent, was utterly distinct from those worldly women covered in rouge.
She was like a lotus flower untouched by mud!
More impressive than a poised career woman, she resembled an ancient empress.
"I am the lady of this house, Hong Qingyan. Are you friends here to visit?"
With instructions from the Second Sect Leader, Hong Qingyan’s attitude was evidently very gentle.
Lady of the house!
The group remained quietly silent, their eyes shifting back and forth between Hong Qingyan and Ning Weiwei. What was this all about?
"What a joke."
"This is clearly my home. Since when did you become the lady here?"
After watching for a while, Ning Weiwei said coldly.
"Are you Ning Wuya’s biological daughter, Ning Weiwei?"
Hong Qingyan immediately guessed the identity of the person before her upon hearing this, as Ye Feng had just mentioned her yesterday. The main character came today? Indeed!
The so-called Utility Pavilion was hidden within the Imperial Capital, it seemed to be a simple matter, but why didn’t they come earlier or later if not to look for trouble now? No wonder the Second Sect Leader looked so uncomfortable.
"Shut up, don’t speak of him to me."
Ning Weiwei’s face changed drastically upon hearing this, and she immediately shouted fiercely.
Just as Ye Feng had said!
However, even Ye Feng didn’t know what had happened between the old Northern King, Ning Wuya, and his own daughter that nearly caused her to turn against him.
Hong Qingyan hesitated slightly but still said:
"Weiwei, your father loves you."
If he didn’t love his daughter, why would he specifically instruct Ye Feng to protect her before dying?
However, these words infuriated Ning Weiwei. She stepped forward and raised her right hand without saying a word, attempting to slap Hong Qingyan.
To keep mentioning it after being told not to!
Unexpectedly, Hong Qingyan dodged the slap as if she knew a movement technique, and suddenly a strong chill came from inside Northern Cloud Residence.
Two figures, one to the left and one to the right, quickly moved to protect Hong Qingyan, one holding a knife, the other a sword. Both had grim expressions with anger burning in their eyes.
A master of the Northern Peace Territory.
The achievements of the old Northern King, Ning Wuya, were legendary, and all respected him in the Northern Border. How could there be such a daughter?
"Step back!"
Xiao Chuanqi said coldly.
Their eyes, sharp as knives, rested solely on Ning Weiwei. If it weren’t for the intuition that she wasn’t of sufficient status, he would have rushed up to slap her hard. Such an undutiful child truly deserved punishment!
