Are you crazy? Who asked you to hunt for treasures in the emperor's harem?

"No!"

To Yu Youwei's surprise, Su Qingying actually shook her head. "I asked you to come here not because I want you to continue investigating Ye Fan, but because I want you to find a chance to arrange a meeting between Ye Fan and me!"

"If Ye Fan is really related to the Heavenly Book Pattern, then it can only come from two parties. One is the Mingyuan Royal Family, and the other is... No matter which of these two parties it is, it is unlikely that they can be easily traced..."

"From the mooncakes you mentioned earlier, and from yesterday's experience, I infer that Ye Fan is not from the Mingyuan royal family..."

"So, I plan to ask Ye Fan directly what's going on!"

Although Su Qingying did not say who the other party was, Yu Youwei already understood.

"But...but, Qingying, after what happened in the reed marsh last time, Ye Fan probably doesn't trust me anymore...and you almost killed him yesterday...I'm afraid Ye Fan is very alert now...If I go to date him, it will be difficult to succeed..."

Yu Youwei looked at Su Qingying helplessly.

"What are you looking at? I came here to discuss this with you!"

Su Qingying blinked.

"I………."

Yu Youwei was speechless for a while. She thought for a while and slowly said, "I'll think of some other ways. But you came here at the right time. I just happened to have something to tell you, and it's also related to Ye Fan..."

"Before, Ye Fan beat up the groom that Ming Dianying, the Prince of Yuanzheng, sent to my side. Ming Dianying sent a killer, but I don't know who killed him... The other party was a real master... The third-rank assassin had his neck broken directly without any resistance..."

"I checked, Ye Fan and Liu Mengying didn't have the opportunity to take action..."

When Yu Youwei said this, Su Qingying continued, "Youwei, are you saying that there is a master helping Ye Fan in secret?"

"Yes!"

…………

the other side,

Beijing,

A remote house,

"You mean that the Ye Fan in this portrait has a close relationship with Liu Ran? He has explored the cabin by Moonfall Lake in Jiangzhou City and dug around. He has come into contact with Zhong Ming... Maybe he has found clues to the treasure left by the Thousand-Handed Rakshasa?!"

A figure dressed as a eunuch in a black cloak put away the thick stack of information in his hand and asked a middle-aged man who was kneeling on one knee in front of him.

"My Lord, it is indeed so!"

The middle-aged man said solemnly.

"Who else have you told this to?"

The eunuch in the black cloak said seriously.

"My Lord, I was entrusted by Lord Xie Zhong to secretly investigate this matter for many days. As soon as I found the result, I rushed to the capital to report it!"

There was obvious excitement in the middle-aged man's voice, because he could already see the prosperity and wealth in his second half of life.

"Come on, I'll take you to see Master Bingbi right away!"

As soon as the eunuch in the black cloak finished speaking, a deep male voice rang out, "You can't go anywhere!"

"Oh!"

"Crack! Puff!~"

Before the deep male voice finished speaking, the door of the room was pushed open. The next moment, the head of the middle-aged man who was kneeling on one knee exploded and turned into a ball of rotten meat.

"Woo!"

Blood flowed out of the mouth of the eunuch in the black cloak. He moved his eyes downwards and looked at the big hand that pierced his chest. Then he closed his eyes helplessly with reluctance...

If Ye Fan was present, he would certainly be quite surprised, because the person who just killed the eunuch in the black cloak and the middle-aged man, two of Xie Zhong's men, at an extremely fast speed was none other than Lei Zhentian, whom he knew in Jiangzhou City.

"That little guy is really a tough guy... Ming Dianying, who is far away in Qinhuai City, sent assassins to kill him... Xie Zhong has also set his sights on him..."

"But it can be considered as repaying him a favor..."

Lei Zhentian finished talking to himself, and his figure flashed and disappeared from the spot in an instant.

.........

at the same time,

After having a hearty meal, Ye Fan, Liu Mengying and Ning Zimo returned to the academy.

During this time, Ning Zimo hesitated to speak several times. Although she really wanted to know what happened during the time when Ye Fan slipped away in the palace, and how Ye Fan suddenly got seriously injured, Ye Fan didn't seem to want to explain. Although she was curious, she chose not to say anything in the end...

"By the way, Zimo, is your ability to suddenly appear and disappear some kind of profound skill?"

Walking on the road to the college, Ye Fan, with a slightly frowned brow, suddenly turned around and spoke to Ning Zimo beside him.

The experience at the palace banquet made Ye Fan certain that the place where the mysterious woman was was most likely related to the Dragon Vein Book. So even though he had just experienced a life-and-death situation, he did not plan to escape, but planned to find an opportunity to go in and investigate.

But the mysterious woman was ridiculously strong. If they really fought, Ye Fan would have no chance of winning, so he didn't want to meet her again... but was thinking about whether he could go in quietly to investigate...

"no!"

Ning Zimo stared at Ye Fan for a long time, and finally shook his head, "The reason why I can appear suddenly and disappear without any warning is not because of my profound skills, but because I am wearing a shadow-invisibility robe!"

"Invisibility Cloak? What is that?"

Ye Fan looked at Ning Zimo with curiosity.

"I'm not too sure about this... I only know it's a kind of precious robe... that can conceal oneself silently... As long as one does not make any noise, even a cultivator with much higher strength than oneself will not be able to detect oneself..."

"I got this precious robe by chance after I joined Group 7 while on a mission in a secret place... I was the weakest among the dozens of people sent by Group 7, but I was the only one who survived in the end, all thanks to this invisibility robe..."

Ning Zimo explained quickly.

"Then... Zimo, can you lend me your invisible clothes?"

Hearing this, Ye Fan immediately looked expectant.

"No way!"

Ning Zimo spread his hands helplessly, "When I found this invisible robe, it was like a gauze. When I touched it, it became transparent and seemed to merge into my body... I wanted to take it off like putting on clothes, but I couldn't do it at all..."

"If I couldn't hide my whereabouts at any time with just a thought, I would have thought that the invisibility cloak didn't exist..."

"This is also the real reason why, although my strength is not ranked high among the seven groups, I am very efficient in carrying out tasks and rarely get injured..."

"Of course, what I will tell the public is that I have practiced a profound skill that allows me to be good at concealment. No one in Group 7 should doubt it. After all, after I joined Group 7 and before I obtained the Invisibility Cloth, I was the best at concealing my whereabouts among all the assessment items of Group 7..."

Ning Zimo quickly explained to Ye Fan.

"So that's it~"

Ye Fan couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, because his plan to wear the invisibility cloak to explore the palace had failed.

"Ye Fan... Can I ask you, what happened during the time you were away from the Linde Hall yesterday while attending the banquet?"

After thinking about it, Ning Zimo couldn't help but ask the doubts in his heart.
