Sword Emperor of the Astonishing Sky

Princess Leping's government office is simpler than Prince Liang's residence.

There are several tables and chairs in the large living room. There is a furnace of sandalwood on the table that exudes a charming fragrance. There are not many antique calligraphy and paintings around for decoration.

Lin Bai stood in the living room with mixed emotions, waiting for Li Guxian's arrival.

About half a quarter of an hour later, Li Guxian dressed in white walked over, smiled at Lin Bai from a distance, and said hello.

"Brother Lin, you are fine."

Li Guxian walked into the living room and complained dissatisfiedly: "These servants in the government office are getting more and more unruly. Brother Lin came and didn't even bring a pot of tea."

"Brother Lin, I'll ask someone to prepare tea later."

"No need." Lin Bai stopped Li Guxian and said, "I asked them not to have tea. I don't have any intention to drink tea."

Li Guxian's expression stiffened when she heard this. After a while, her expression returned to calm, and she asked Lin Bai to sit down.

"Brother Lin, are you here for something?"

When Li Guxian spoke, her jade hands slowly hid in her sleeves.

Although Lin Bai was aware of her actions, he did not stop her in any way.

"On the orders of Emperor Chu and Prince Liang, I came to investigate the remnants of the Nine Nether Demon Palace hidden in the imperial capital."

As soon as Lin Bai finished speaking, Li Guxian couldn't help laughing.

"Brother Lin, don't you think I have something to do with the Nine Nether Demon Palace?"

"No one in the entire Chu Kingdom knows that I have a blood feud with the Jiuyou Demon Palace. How could I be their accomplice?"

Li Guxian did not tell lies, but everything was the truth.

Li Guxian's identity and origins are particularly unique. Both of her parents were famous people in the Chu Kingdom.

Her father was a martial arts champion, and her mother was a royal princess. Now she returned to the imperial capital, inherited her mother's title, and became the princess of Leping County.

After the destruction of the Blood God Sect in Kezhou, the Zhaoxing Division had investigated and found out that the Blood God Sect was the branch of the Jiuyou Demon Palace.

And her parents and relatives were all persecuted by the Blood God Cult.

She said that she had a blood feud with Jiuyou Demon Palace, which was not surprising at all.

Lin Bai took a deep breath and looked a little helpless. If all the evidence hadn't pointed to Li Guxian, even Lin Bai wouldn't have believed that Li Guxian was the secret agent of Jiuyou Demon Palace.

"Of course we didn't doubt you."

"I was just passing by and came in to see you."

Lin Bai smiled and said: "Although you are a member of the royal family, you grew up in Kezhou since you were a child. When you first arrived in the imperial capital, you didn't have many friends to take care of you, so I just came here to have a look."

Li Guxian's expression relaxed slightly after hearing this, and she sat in the living room and chatted with Lin Bai.

"I heard that the Nine Nether Demon Palace was not destroyed? And it has even resurrected?"

"My friend He Qiyun came here just now and told me the news."

Li Guxian asked Lin Bai with a smile.

"Yes, the centipede is dead but not stiff."

Lin Bai shook his head and said: "The kidnapping of the Holy Son and the Holy Girl this time is most likely a joint effort between the Nine Nether Demon Palace and the warriors from the Northern Territory."

Li Guxian said angrily: "These demons from the Nine Nether Demon Palace are really hateful."

"Don't say these words anymore." Lin Bai suddenly stood up, looked at the huge government office, and said with a smile: "Your house is extremely quiet and unique. Can you show me around?"

When Li Guxian heard this, the smile on her face froze slightly.

She knew very well that Lin Bai didn't like this house at all, he wanted to take this opportunity to explore the house.

"sure."

Li Guxian quickly regained her composure and walked towards the house with Lin Bai.

The two of them were talking and laughing along the way, and they really looked like old friends reunited after a long separation.

After walking through most of the house, Li Guxian said: "My house was originally my mother's mansion. Since my mother followed my father to Kezhou, this house has been without an owner for a long time."

"Until I returned to the imperial capital, His Majesty the Emperor of Chu gave me the permission to inherit my mother's title and also let me inherit this house."

"Although there are no expensive decorations, it is quiet and pleasant."

Lin Bai smiled and did not answer.

"Let's go this way."

Lin Bai suddenly changed his route and walked towards a covered bridge.

Li Guxian smiled and pulled Lin Bai and said, "There is a deserted pool over there. There is nothing interesting to see. I will take Brother Lin to see other places."

Lin Bai smiled and said: "We have all circled around the entire government office, but we didn't go here."

"And I look at the layout of this mansion. The water pool over there should be the most central place in the entire mansion."

"How could such a beautiful place be a deserted pool?"

Lin Bai smiled bitterly and said, "You don't know how to live. I'll help you arrange the pool."

Li Guxian was stunned for a moment, and then agreed: "Since Lord Lang is going to decorate my pool in person, I am naturally extremely honored."

"Please, Mr. Wolf Marquis."

Li Guxian led Lin Bai across the covered bridge, and Lin Bai saw the huge lake about a thousand meters in size.

There is an elegant and unique pavilion with lotus flowers blooming on the water and flexible koi carp swimming in the water.

"This is...Koi Lake."

"It is said that before my mother left the imperial court, she often sat in the pavilion in the lake and admired the koi carps."

Lin Bai and Li Guxian flew up and landed on the pavilion in the center of the lake.

"You said this is a deserted pool."

"Why doesn't it look like that?"

Lin Bai stood on the pavilion, looking down at the koi swimming in the water, with a sneer on his lips.

"How can a magic circle exist in a deserted pool?"

"And it's not an ordinary defensive formation, but an extremely powerful formation."

"With your strength, I'm afraid you are not qualified to build such a complicated magic circle, right?"

Lin Bai stared at the pool and said every word.

When Li Guxian saw this, she didn't explain any more and just stood beside Lin Bai in silence.

"To be honest, I still can't believe it... you actually have something to do with the Nine Nether Demon Palace."

Lin Bai took a deep breath. Ever since he walked into the princess's office, he had determined Li Guxian's identity so far.

Speaking of which, I would like to thank His Majesty Emperor Chu for his timely announcement of the news about the Nine Nether Demon Palace, which acted as a deterrent.

He Qiyun promptly informed Li Guxian of the news, causing her to be in chaos.

Then Lin Bai entered the government office and saw Li Guxian in the reception room. He felt that Li Guxian's emotions were on the verge of losing control.

Although she was smiling, her smile was so unnatural, and there seemed to be something indescribable hidden in her heart.

During the subsequent chat, Li Guxian frequently lost control of her emotions, which made Lin Bai more and more sure of her identity.

Later, Lin Bai proposed to go take a look at Li Guxian's house. Although the whole house was extremely huge, she always deliberately deviated from the most important area.

It's this lake.
