Soul travels to another world and becomes a group favorite
Chapter 145: Emperors have always been ruthless
Ling Chenxi and the other man did not stay in the Ling family villa for too long because the invisibility pill only lasted for two hours. After listening to the conversation between Mo Tong and City Lord Ye, they quickly left the Ling family villa and headed towards the auction house.
When the two returned to the auction house, the effect of the medicine had just worn off and they had recovered.
"You came back so quickly, did you find anything?" Ling Chenhong said.
"Second brother, cousin, we have to find a way to get eldest brother and the others out now. City Lord Ye and the emperor are of the same mind. He has seen the Demon Boy of the Demon Sect and believed what he said. My existence will threaten his power and status." Ling Chenxi said seriously.
"What, how is this possible? The emperor has always loved you so much, how could it be..." Ling Chenhong said in surprise.
"No matter what, we must be prepared first." Ling Chenxi's expression was solemn, "If the emperor really believed what City Lord Ye said, my brother and the others would be in danger."
"But how can we rescue big brother?" Ling Chenhong asked anxiously.
"We need to make a careful plan." Ling Chenxi said after thinking for a moment, "First, we need to understand the layout and guard situation of the Lingtong City Lord's Mansion. Then, we can find the right time to sneak in and rescue Big Brother."
"But the City Lord's Mansion is heavily guarded. Maybe the emperor has also sent secret guards inside the Mansion, so it will be difficult for us to break in." Ling Chenhong said worriedly.
"Don't worry, second brother." Ling Chenxi comforted, "As long as we work together, we will definitely be able to find a way. Besides, we still have Ayi here, right, Ayi, your power can help us?"
"Well, the Qinglan Palace in the lower world is at your disposal. Apart from me and my second uncle, you are the third person who can control the power of the Qinglan Palace." Li Jinyi said gently.
Ling Chenhong and Luo Yiyang were so surprised when they heard Li Jinyi's words that they were speechless. This Young Master Li was really affectionate towards Xier. Before they even got married, he had already allocated his power to Xier.
The two looked at Ling Chenxi who was full of confidence, and they felt more hopeful. So they began to plan a rescue operation, determined to rescue the trapped elder brother.
"Then should we contact the General's Mansion and inform them first." Ling Chenhong said after thinking for a while.
"This is necessary, and we also need to check whether there are people who have sneaked into your mansion with the emperor and the demon boy, and Dingsheng Tower. Xier, notify your godfather Xiao Qi." Li Jinyi said.
Ling Chenxi nodded: "Okay, but my godfather doesn't have any communication equipment, so I have to go back to inform them. Otherwise, let Protector Xu or Sister Hongshang send someone to watch over Dingsheng Tower."
Li Jinyi thought for a moment and said, "That's fine. Then you guys should contact the General's Mansion and pass on the news as soon as possible."
Ling Chenxi agreed, turned around and left with Luo Yiyang and Ling Chenhong.
Li Jinyi said to the others: "You guys contact the secret agents in the City Lord's Mansion and ask them to take good care of Minister Ling and the other two. I will contact the people from the auction house and my father Guan." Everyone nodded and dispersed.
Li Jinyi took a deep breath and prayed silently in his heart that everything would go well and nothing would go wrong.
He knew that this mission was of vital importance and any negligence could lead to irreversible consequences, so he had to remain vigilant and not relax at all.
Li Jinyi first connected to Li's father's communicator and told him that the emperor had met with the Demon Sect's Mo Tongda and believed Mo Tong's guess about Ling Chenxi's body. He asked him to notify the Immortal Emperor in time.
After cutting off contact with Li's father, he contacted Hong Shang and Xu Songming again, asking them to pay attention to the royal family and thoroughly check the auction house and restaurant to see if there are people from the royal family and the Demon Sect.
He also asked the two of them to send people to protect Dingsheng Tower, Xiao Qi, and the safety of the General's Mansion.
After Li Jinyi finished explaining the matters of the auction house, he sat quietly in the room thinking about the next plan. He knew that time was running out and he had to find a way to rescue Brother Ling Chenxi as soon as possible.
At this time, there was a slight sound of footsteps outside the door, and Li Jinyi immediately became alert. "It's me, Palace Master." The voice of the owner of the Lingtong City Auction House came from the door. Li Jinyi breathed a sigh of relief and stood up to open the door.
The shopkeeper walked into the room and handed Li Jinyi a piece of intelligence. "This is the latest news about the royal family and the Demon Sect that we just received." Li Jinyi took the intelligence and read it carefully. His brows gradually frowned. "It seems that the situation is more complicated than we thought. The Demon Sect seems to be planning a bigger conspiracy."
The shopkeeper nodded and said, "Palace Master, we must be careful. The princess and the others are still in the yard."
Li Jinyi looked serious, "No matter what, Ling Chenxi must be protected. I'll go find them."
Ling Chenxi and the other two had just finished a call with the General's Mansion and were about to go back to their room when they saw Li Jinyi walking towards them.
"Ayi, have you made arrangements there? We have already reported to grandpa and dad." Ling Chenxi said.
"It has been arranged. I just received the investigation information from the owner of the auction house. You can take a look at it," said Li Jinyi.
Ling Chenxi took the information and took a look at it. It was the same as what she and Li Jinyi heard at the rockery in the Ling family's villa, and even more detailed.
Ling Chenxi dropped his hands in disappointment and said nothing. His eyes were dull and his whole appearance had lost its luster.
Ling Chenhong's heart tightened when he saw this, and he quickly took the information from Ling Chenxi and looked at it carefully. The more he looked at it, the more solemn his expression became, and finally his face was full of disbelief.
"This... this really proves the saying, emperors have always been so ruthless." Luo Yiyang sighed, his tone full of helplessness and sadness.
"Cousin Tai and my great aunt think the same way?" Ling Chenxi asked with a sob, a hint of despair in her voice. The intelligence clearly stated that the emperor had instructed the Devil Sect's Devil Child to abolish Ling Chenxi's cultivation if necessary.
For the so-called power and status, they can actually do anything so unscrupulous! Ling Chenxi felt that his heart was deeply hurt.
The family ties and friendships she once had have now become so fragile and vulnerable that she cannot accept this reality.
She couldn't help but recall the little things she had experienced with her family in the past, and those warm memories now pierced her heart like a knife.
But now, these beautiful memories have become a thing of the past. Ling Chenxi shed tears silently, her heart filled with endless sadness and pain.
"Xi'er, don't think too much. You still have me, Qinglan Academy, Qinglan Palace, and even the Immortal Emperor." Li Jinyi said.
"And what about us? I, Ling Chenhong, will stick with you through thick and thin. As long as you are my sister, you will always be her." Ling Chenhong said.
"Including me." Luo Yiyang echoed.
"And me, Ling Bai." At this time, Ling Bai walked in from the back door of the auction house.
"Brother Ling Bai, why are you here? Is there something wrong with my brother and cousin Xue?" Ling Chenxi said worriedly when he saw Ling Bai.
"No, they are fine. Brother Xuan asked me to come and see you. I came here on the pretext of buying medicinal herbs.
I heard half of what you just said, what exactly happened?" Ling Bai asked.
Ling Chenhong handed the auction house's information to Ling Bai and said, "You will know after you look at the information that this auction house just received."
Ling Bai took the information from Ling Chenhong with doubt. When he saw Ling Chenxi's words about abolishing Ling Chenxi when necessary, he said angrily, "Why is the emperor like this? Haven't they always loved Xier? Why..."
"Alas, Brother Ling Bai, this may be what people often say about how ruthless emperors have always been!" Luo Yiyang said.
"What should we do now?" Ling Bai asked.
"Brother Ling Bai, go back to the City Lord's Mansion now and tell my elder brother and cousin Xue about this. Your situation is more dangerous than ours. There is no need to stay in the mansion as much as possible and don't go out."
Ling Chenxi said to Ling Bai with a serious face. She knew that she and her family were facing an unprecedented crisis, but as long as everyone worked together, they would be able to overcome the difficulties.
Ling Bai nodded, indicating that he understood Ling Chenxi's meaning. He turned around and prepared to leave, but suddenly stopped and looked back at Ling Chenxi.
"Xi'er, I thought of a way to help big brother get out of trouble, but I don't know if it will work." Ling Bai frowned and said thoughtfully.
Ling Chenxi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he quickly asked, "What method?"
Ling Bai took a deep breath and said slowly, "I think we can let big brother pretend to be sick, and pretend to be very sick, preferably a disease that is difficult to cure. In this way, the emperor will relax his vigilance and may even send a royal doctor to treat big brother. Then we can take the opportunity to leave the royal family."
Ling Chenxi fell into deep thought after hearing this. This method was indeed a bit risky, but there was no better choice at the moment. She gritted her teeth and decided to give it a try.
"Okay, then let's do as you say. But we must be careful and not let anyone find out the flaws." Ling Chenxi warned.
Ling Bai nodded, with a firm look in his eyes. He believed that as long as everyone was united, they would be able to get out of the predicament and live a peaceful life again.
