The Psychic Girl

Chapter 189 That Person's Ambition

Ever since he detained the three secret guards who broke into the palace, Yuwen Li had expected this day to come.

However, would Ji Tianming, the emperor of the Three-Headed Kingdom, come to the Xiliang Palace in person to ask for someone?

This was something he had not expected.

The portrait that the trio carried was clearly of the girl that Le Zhengzhengfeng had saved a hundred years ago - Ye Lianxi.

But what is the relationship between Ji Tianming, the emperor of mankind, and Ye Lianxi? Why did he not hesitate to mobilize the entire Hidden Guards to find her?

After Yuwen Li led the trio to the main hall, he bowed to Ji Tianming who was sitting on the guest seat while frowning in thought.

The identities were reversed, and the other party was no longer the son of a fallen country who had confronted him in the past. The spiritual pressure from the Human Emperor made him feel inexplicably pressured. His expression obviously did not look as calm and composed as Le Zhengfeng, but rather too guilty.

Sitting in the hall, the Xiliang King Gong Yixuan stroked his beard and glanced at the state teacher who looked a little out of control. He then glanced at the Human Emperor Ji Tianming who was sitting beside him.

Afraid that Yuwen Li's uneasiness would be noticed by the latter, he immediately signaled with his eyes.

"Mr. Feng, are you sure you have never seen the woman in the portrait of His Majesty the Human Emperor?"

As their eyes met, Le Zhengru Feng immediately understood his monarch's thoughts and had a plan in mind.

"Yes, Your Majesty. According to His Majesty the Emperor, this woman must have disappeared a hundred years ago. I was still in a coma at that time, so I really have no memory of her.

Master Yuwen, why don't you come and take a look at this portrait? Do you know this woman?"

Interrupting Yuwen Li's hidden thoughts, Le Zhengfeng approached Yuwen Li naturally and held his wrist tightly as a reminder.

How could a close friend of mine for so many years not understand?

Yuwen Li restrained his expression and returned to his usual calm and composed self.

"Oh, she does look unfamiliar, but since His Majesty values ​​her so much, this woman must be of extraordinary status. I, as an official, was unaware of the situation and rashly detained the people from the Secret Guard, delaying His Majesty's business. This is truly a sin!"

"Your Majesty! He is lying! He has clearly seen the girl in the portrait!"

Seeing Yuwen Li's serious look while telling lies with his eyes open, the hot-tempered Tian Fang couldn't help but wanted to take action, but was instantly stopped by Tianling and Tianqi who were standing on both sides.

It was already embarrassing for the three secret guards to be captured alive by Xiliang and ask His Majesty the Emperor to come back for their release. They could not embarrass His Majesty the Emperor in front of the King of Xiliang and affect the relationship between the three heads and Xiliang.

"We accidentally disturbed the Xiliang royal family while searching for someone, Your Majesty! Please punish us!"

Tianling was a steady person, and he quickly pulled the three brothers to kneel down together.

Despite being detained for so many days, they seemed to be in good spirits and did not look troubled.

Ji Tianming knew that he was in the wrong first, and it was impossible for him to hold Xiliang responsible for the detention of the Hidden Guard.

Now that he saw the three men standing in front of him in good health, he had no reason to take advantage of this to cause trouble. Instead, he had to be careful and not escalate the situation into a conflict between the two countries and give others something to talk about.

"My people acted improperly. I beg King Xiliang, Mr. Feng and State Master Yuwen to forgive me. I came here to lead the people and apologize. I hope this incident will not affect the trust and harmony among the human race that is rare in a century. As for the person in the portrait..."

Ji Tianming pondered for a moment.

He naturally knew that Yuwen Li was lying.

Before coming to Xiliang, he had already found out that Ye Lianxi had a close relationship with this place.

But since parting with her in Yancheng, Ye Lianxi's resolute back before leaving still made Ji Tianming feel cold in his heart, and prompted him to start thinking about what was the best thing to do for Ye Lianxi now.

"She is a very special person to me. The reason I want to find her is just to make sure she is safe. Even if I can't find her, as long as I know she is safe, nothing else matters."

Ji Tianming was not sure what the relationship was between the Xiliang man in front of him and Ye Lianxi.

It is undeniable that they rescued and helped Ye Lianxi, but was their kindness to Ye Lianxi sincere and well-intentioned, or was it mixed with ulterior motives and purposes that have not yet been revealed?

Looking at Le Rusheng who was smiling faintly in front of him, Ji Tianming couldn't see through her at all.

He suddenly remembered the night many years ago when Yuwen Li rescued Le Ruzhengfeng from Dongli.

That night, Xiliang's fortune had an opportunity to turn around with the return of this person, and he accidentally discovered Ye Lianxi who was planning to join his third brother.

If he had chosen to stop Le Zhengrufeng from leaving that night, and missed Ye Lianxi who was on her way to escape her marriage, would everyone's fate have been completely different?

[Between us, if we get too close, misfortune will happen, so... it's better to keep your distance! This way, it's good for both you and me.]

Ye Lianxi's cold words were still ringing in his ears, making him often unable to help but think about those what-ifs.

All the possible happiness that was lost because of him, Ye Lianxi.

Times have changed, and now the human race is unified, and the five kingdoms are under his rule. Everything seems to be calm. But is this the future of Xiliang that that person wished for?

Ji Tianming saw greater ambitions in the eyes of the person in front of him.

Thinking of the familiar red figure above Yancheng, he only hoped that ambition would not cause Ye Lianxi any harm...

There is a secret place outside the Five Kingdoms that has not yet been developed - the Heluo Valley.

The top-secret headquarters of the Discipline Association is located here.

The original Discipline Association was just a small gossip organization formed by a group of anonymous "idle people" on the Lingwu Continent. However, after decades of hard work, it has now become the most influential civil organization besides the Adventure Guild.

Although it is actually huge and has a large number of personnel, with more than a thousand people stationed in various parts of the continent, only a dozen key figures and the team leader stay in the Heluo Valley, guarding the headquarters of the association as the backbone of all members.

Due to different responsibilities, the association includes intelligence officers who collect intelligence on the front line, analysts who are responsible for screening and analyzing intelligence behind the scenes, and guards who are responsible for security and logistics.

Among them, the most challenging and valuable work is the intelligence officers on the front line,

The association will divide intelligence officers into levels one to five according to their experience levels.

People like Zuo Ping and Zuo An, who have only been in the group for three years and have not been able to dig out any valuable information, are now just the lowest-level fifth-level intelligence officers.

But even so, the two brothers Zuo Ping and Zuo An were still proud to be able to join the Discipline Association and become intelligence agents, and were even more delighted to set foot on the land of the headquarters.

The regiment leader Wei Lan, with his messy hair and loose grey gown, was sitting crookedly on a blood-red armchair with a solemn expression. Facing the two identical faces in front of him, he murmured,

"…They really are twins."

That’s right, the two brothers standing opposite Wei Lan were Zuo Ping and Zuo An.

But compared to the captain's surprise that they were twins, Zuo Ping was even more shocked that the captain he admired most was actually a woman!

"Captain, you are a woman!"

"Oh, didn't you know that before?"

Wei Lan thought that when she published her life story in the internal publication, there were no secrets between her and the other members, but now it seems that she seemed to have forgotten to introduce her gender to the members she had never met.

But...does it matter?

In her opinion, it doesn't matter at all.
