Chapter 97 The Closer Truth

Yuan Fang will not disappear suddenly without a reason, nor will she appear suddenly without a reason.

I always felt that something was wrong, but seeing the joy of Di Renjie and Yuan Fang's reunion, Lu Yu didn't ask any questions, he didn't want to break the warm atmosphere.

However, now that Yuan Fang has returned, it is time to clarify the matter of Ming Shiyin.

"Master Di."

Lu Yu walked to Di Renjie's side.

"what happened?"

Moving his hands away from Yuan Fang's big ears, Di Renjie looked at Lu Yu's serious expression and asked with a frown.

"Do you know about Ming Shiyin?"

"Ming Shiyin, are you talking about the fortune-telling peony alchemist?"

"Oh? You know him."

Lu Yu was a little surprised, it seemed that Di Renjie had already met Ming Shiyin face to face.

"What's up with him?"

The relaxed expression returned to the usual solemnity, Di Renjie hurriedly asked.

"It was his arrangement that the demon seed mixed into Chang'an before."

"Him? How is it possible, how can a person have the power to gather demon seeds?"

Di Renjie frowned and denied, but soon he stopped talking, because Ming Shiyin gave him an extremely terrifying and mysterious feeling from the very beginning, just like a lingering nightmare in his heart.

In other words, Ming Shiyin has power beyond ordinary people.

"Then, how do you know?"

"He told me himself."

Seeing Di Renjie's puzzled expression, Lu Yu narrated how he was brought to his Peony Garden by Ming Shiyin.

Originally, Ming Shiyin wanted to confuse Lu Yu's mind and become his own puppet when Lu Yu's faith was shaken.But Ming Shiyin did not expect that Lu Yu once again broke through his illusion.

"Besides, since he possesses the power to gather demons, it means that the riots of the demons in the cloud desert are absolutely inseparable from him."

Lu Yu said in a deep voice.

Thinking of the tragic scene of blood flowing into rivers because of the war on the desert, Lu Yu's heart was burning with anger.

Moreover, if all of this is really the work of Ming Shiyin, then is it inextricably related to the destruction of Jia Luo's hometown, the Thousand Cave City?

"Well, that is to say, Mulan was on the letter back then, and the mysterious person you mentioned was Ming Shiyin?"

Di Renjie's thoughts turned quickly, and he immediately understood what Lu Yu meant.

"It is indeed him. I have only played against him not long ago. Perhaps, he has not gone far."

Although when I came out of the room, the peony garden that was in full bloom all withered, but this does not rule out that this is an illusion created by Ming Shiyin.

"I didn't expect Ming Shiyin, a dangerous person, to be so close to His Majesty. I have to go back to the court immediately to inform His Majesty."

If everything Lu Yu said is true, then

Thinking that the empress valued Ming Shiyin so much, Di Renjie couldn't help but feel a little scared. For such a long time, no one was able to discover his conspiracy, which is really terrifying.

Although the strength of the empress is enough to crush any mortal, but Ming Shiyin's mysterious and terrifying power made Di Renjie deeply worried.

How frightening it is to be able to play with people's hearts so easily.

"Lu Yu, you and Li Bai go to find Ming Shiyin's whereabouts first, Yuan Fang, you go and inform Yaojin and Wan'er to enter the palace."

Di Renjie ordered that because irrelevant personnel cannot enter the palace, so he, Cheng Yaojin and Shangguan Wan'er can only go there.

"Ah."

Li Bai and Lu Yu nodded. Now is indeed an urgent time, so they set off quickly.

""

However, when Di Renjie and Lu Yu and Li Bai both set off, Li Yuanfang, who had only run halfway, turned around and looked at Di Renjie's disappearing back, with a tangled look on his face.

Sure enough, just as Lu Yu expected, the place he was brought to was just a phantom created by Ming Shiyin. After being guided by passers-by, he and Li Bai came to the real Peony Garden.

"Is this the residence of Ming Shiyin?"

Li Bai frowned and said to himself, if everything Lu Yu said is true, then the answer he wants to know may lie in Ming Shiyin.

He, perhaps, is the person behind the scenes that he has always wanted to find.

"Bangdang——"

The red wooden door was kicked open by Lu Yu, but when the dust dispersed, in front of the two of them was just an ordinary courtyard.

Except for the blooming peonies in the courtyard, there are no people.

Moreover, Lu Yu did not feel the pressure as before. It seems that Ming Shiyin is not in this place now.

"Tsk, have you run away?"

Li Bai's perception is also very strong, just the moment of breathing, he has already learned that this peony garden is empty.

And at the same time——

"Wan'er, has that Ming Shiyin ever advised the Empress these days?"

Walking on the serious stone steps, Di Renjie asked Shangguan Wan'er beside him.

"Admonishing Ming Shiyin in the past few days, indeed admonishing the empress a lot."

"What did he admonish?!"

Shouting in a voice that almost didn't scare Wan'er, Di Renjie noticed his gaffe, coughed twice, looked around again, and said in a low voice: "What is it all about?"

"It seems to be about the desert in the clouds, the Jixia College in the east, and the three-thirds of the land, and"

Wan'er was thinking hard, but her face became a little ugly: "It's very strange, I have seen the content of the remonstrance with my own eyes, but now I can't remember anything."

There seemed to be a lingering nightmare in her mind, she really couldn't think of anything, Shangguan Wan'er could only sigh and said, "Master Di, is there really something wrong with that Ming Shiyin?"

"The problem is big."

His face became more and more cold, and Di Renjie quickened his pace towards the palace.

Desert in the Clouds, Jixia College, a third of the land

Di Renjie has heard of these places, but he has never set foot in them.

However, why did Ming Shiyin mention these places in the content of his advice?

Although Ming Shiyin's true face has not been torn apart, Di Renjie already has an extremely ominous premonition.

Soon, Di Renjie and Shangguan Wan'er stepped into the splendid palace together.

However, from the moment the front foot stepped in, a familiar and terrifying feeling reappeared, just like the nightmare that had appeared in my mind many times before.

""

Di Renjie raised his head and looked up the hall.

Above the noble golden lacquered throne, there is a faint scent of sandalwood and psychedelic smoke.

The aloof Empress Wu Zetian is sitting quietly on the throne, her face is solemn and daunting.

However, this is not what Di Renjie cares about.

but——

"Ming Shi Yin"

The alchemist in white beside Wu Zetian showed bewitching eyes and a smile, as if he would plunge Di Renjie into an endless abyss anytime and anywhere.
