"Whether that's what they think in their hearts, I don't know. I only know that there are murderous intentions hidden in the imperial city. We need to be more careful in the future."
Gu Yi didn't know what those people wanted from Ye Li, but now they must be in the center of the whirlpool in the imperial city and unable to escape.
"After all, it's too dangerous now. Why don't we take this opportunity to leave?"
Li Qingmu is still thinking about leaving, but he just doesn't know whether they can leave safely.
Yeli didn't know what to do now. Looking at Gu Yi's thoughtful face, Yeli said:
"Why don't I go see the emperor and ask him to send us away. I think he should be very willing to do this."
When Gu Yi heard what Ye Li said, he was stunned for a moment.
But thinking of Ye Li's identity, Gu Yi nodded:
"Since you want to go, then go. Li Qingmu and I are waiting for you here. If there is any danger, inform us in advance and take you out of the imperial city. I can still do it."
"good."
Yeli left the other courtyard and came to the palace.
Seeing the emperor sitting in the study room, reviewing memorials, Ye Li did not directly disturb him.
Instead, he sat quietly and waited until Ye Chen finished his work.
"Since you are already here, why don't you say a word? Do you think that I don't have time to talk to you? I still have some time, so why not tell me the purpose of your coming here this time?"
Ye Chen looked at Ye Li with a smile, guessing the purpose of coming here.
Ye Li heard Ye Chen's voice and looked up at him:
"Did you already guess that I was coming?"
"No, I just thought it was time for you to come see me."
Ye Chen put down the things in his hands and said.
Yeli curled up her lips when she had enough:
"I want to take Gu Yi and the others away. I wonder if you will make it easier for us to leave. I think you should know how much danger there is in this imperial city. I don't know what you and Gu Yi once said. But for my own safety, I still want to leave."
"Leave? Isn't it good to stay here? Why are you leaving? I want Master Gu to stay here for a while, because the imperial city needs him. There are many people who want to practice in this place, but they still can't get the method. If Master Gu is willing to help me with this, I will seriously consider letting you leave."
Ye Chen had already thought about the terms to negotiate with Gu Yi, but he didn't expect that Ye Li would come to him first.
This made him a little confused that Gu Yi would agree to his coming.
I couldn't help but ask:
"Why are you here today? Did Gu Yi ask you to come? I still remember that he told me not to disturb you before, but now it looks like I have to disturb you. What on earth are you doing?"
Yeli also wanted to know what the hell they were doing.
From Ye Peng and his father who came to the other courtyard this morning, as well as the ministers who had bad eyes that night.
He really couldn't understand.
"I should be the one asking you these words, right? After all, what else are you hiding from us? Do you really have no way to tell me?"
Ye Li looked at Ye Chen carefully, trying to see his inner thoughts clearly, but she couldn't see clearly.
"In the final analysis, it's just about you, about your past. I don't think you want to know, so I won't tell you this matter until you want to know one day in the future... ..”
Before Ye Chen could finish speaking, Ye Li interrupted directly:
"Since you know my past, tell me. After all, it is my memory, isn't it?"
Ye Chen didn't expect that Ye Li would be anxious because of this matter, which made him a little helpless.
I thought I could hide it for a while, but I didn't expect...
Ye Chen sighed helplessly and said:
"Since you want to know, then I will tell you everything you want to know, so maybe you won't have any more doubts."
For a long time after that, Ye Li listened to Ye Chen talk about his past.
When Ye Chen told Ye Li everything, cracks appeared on Ye Li's originally expressionless face.
Ye Li, who had never lost his temper for a long time, couldn't help but smash everything in Ye Chen's study at this moment.
This was his first emotional breakdown.
When Ye Chen saw him like this, the expression on his face didn't change much. On the contrary, he felt it didn't matter.
After all, you have to know sooner or later, and there is no shortage of time.
After Ye Li calmed down, Ye Chen spoke:
"I know you are very angry now, but there is nothing you can do about it. You have to know this. There is very little I can do for you. The remaining things still need to be solved by yourself. The situation in the imperial city has already changed. Get up. You have to protect yourselves."
"I understand, thank you for telling me this. But you have to promise me that you will let us leave after this is over."
Yeli doesn't really trust Yechen now, otherwise he wouldn't let the other party promise him anything.
Ye Chen naturally understood this truth, nodded and said:
"Okay, I understand. Don't worry, I will keep my promise. Just like when I promised Gu Yi, I also promise you."
"Um."
After saying that, Ye Li left the study room.
Looking at Ye Li's leaving figure, Ye Chen sighed helplessly:
"I hope you can really solve this matter, otherwise, I really don't know how this matter will end."
On the other side, in the other courtyard.
Gu Yi was always frightened by the fact that Ye Li suddenly said that he wanted to find Ye Chen.
I didn’t know what to do, and felt uneasy inside.
Seeing Gu Yi like this, Li Qingmu couldn't help but comfort him:
"I know what you are worried about, Master, but I believe Yeli will handle this matter well. Why don't you wait a little longer. Maybe he will come back soon."
Gu Yi felt a little embarrassed when faced with Li Qingmu's comfort. He was obviously the leader, but he still had to be comforted by his disciples.
Gu Yi said embarrassedly:
"Although I think what you said is very reasonable, after all, he has never faced Ye Chen alone. I am really worried."
"Master, if you are really worried about me, why didn't you greet me outside the palace, but were waiting for me in the other courtyard? Isn't this because you have a big heart?"
Before Li Qingmu could speak, Ye Li, who walked in from outside, cut off the conversation.
When Gu Yi heard Ye Li's voice, he immediately raised his head. Seeing Ye Li walking towards him, he was very excited and said:
"I didn't expect you to come back so soon. How was your conversation with Ye Chen? Did he agree to your request?"
"He agreed. It's just that he also negotiated terms with his disciple at the same time. It's about you."
Ye Li took a sip of tea and said to Gu Yi.
When Gu Yi heard that Ye Li said that Ye Chen had negotiated terms with him, he was a little curious and said:
"What are the conditions that make you agree directly? I am a little curious."
"He hopes you can open a branch of Qingxuan Sect here. He said that there are many people in this imperial city who want to practice but have no way. Now that you are here, he naturally hopes that you can help him."
After Ye Li told Ye Chen's conditions, the smile on Gu Yi's face froze, and he even suspected that the other party was talking nonsense.
There was no reaction for a moment.
Seeing that Gu Yi didn't respond, Li Qingmu pushed Gu Yi gently and whispered:
"Master, since the emperor has already shown his own attitude, shouldn't you also have an attitude? Besides, you didn't think about recruiting more disciples before, but now the opportunity has come?"
Gu Yi glanced at Li Qingmu and twitched his lips.
I thought to myself that he was really anxious to recruit disciples. But there is a mixed bag of fish and dragons in this imperial city, and no one knows who is lurking among them.
If he really recruits disciples, he will definitely not be able to control this place.
Thinking of this, Gu Yi really wanted to refuse this condition.
"Master, Ye Chen also said that you can refuse. But in this case, he will not let us go easily. So you must think about this matter carefully."
Gu Yi, who had just refused, was dumbfounded when he heard Ye Li's words.
To him, these words were simply a naked threat.
But Yeli felt that this matter didn't matter, and instead responded happily:
"Master, I think this is a rare opportunity, and you should agree with it, right? There are many royal families or prominent figures in the imperial city. If they come to the Qingxuan Sect, we will definitely take advantage. . On Cangxuan Continent, even if you walk sideways, no one will say a word no. Are you really not going to think about it?"
Gu Yi twitched the corner of his mouth helplessly, thinking that Ye Li was too concerned about himself, and he even wanted to give the other party a big mouth.
"Then you are really a good person. Although I don't know how to say this, it is wrong for you to do this. How can you easily agree for me? Is this something that can be done while walking sideways on Cangxuan Road? ?”
Gu Yi held his forehead and said.
He even began to suspect that it was Ye Li who belonged to Gu Yi.
For a while, the courtyard fell into silence again.
But Yeli didn't know what he had done wrong at all, and asked with a serious look on his face:
"Did I do something wrong in this matter? And I think you can still meet this small request, right?"
"You are really my good disciple. Since you brought up this matter, why don't you do it yourself instead of coming to me?"
Gu Yi looked at Ye Li with a smile on his face. He just wanted to hear what kind of answer Ye Li would give him.
Looking at him like this, he definitely didn't know why he was so angry.
However, just as Gu Yi thought, he really didn't understand the situation. He didn't know how to answer Gu Yi's question for a while. Li Qingmu reacted first and said to Ye Li:
"Originally, the leader was unwilling to get involved with the people in the imperial city. I didn't expect the terms you negotiated with Ye Chen. Since you were to stay here to recruit disciples and let the disciples of the famous families in the imperial city learn from the leader, you Do you think the leader won’t be angry?”
