In Wannian County, east of Chang'an City, there is a mansion that has just been renovated.
"Look, isn't this our famous Five Colors Taoist?"
"I heard that you went to find that 'silly prince'. Why are you so embarrassed now?"
"Have you been tricked by Hui Ji again? If I remember correctly, this seems to be the seventh time, right?"
Sitting leisurely on a certain railing, I saw a woman with a voluptuous figure and a charming face using a very frivolous tone to ridicule the five-color Taoist who had just appeared.
If Pei Wende were here now, he would be surprised to find that this woman is none other than the red fox who left Tanzhou with Hui Ji.
At this moment, around Red Fox, there are more than a dozen practitioners with different identities and purposes gathered here.
"Demon fox, we are all working for His Highness King Qi. What good will it do to you if I am fooled?"
Forcibly suppressing the anger in his heart, the five-color Taoist glared at Red Fox, and then turned his attention to the other woman next to him.
Compared to the charming Red Fox, the woman next to her looked very dignified.
However, it can be seen from the disdain she occasionally shows that this woman obviously has the same idea as Red Fox.
After all, Wuse Taoist has always claimed to be the "authentic Xuanmen" and looks down on other practitioners who were also recruited by King Qi.
As a result, every time when he faced Huiji, the five-color Taoist would either lose track here or there, and he could not look like an "authentic Xuanmen" at all.
The most important thing is that although the five-color Taoist has always regarded himself as the "authentic Taoist sect" and has superb use of the innate five-element magical power, in fact, everyone is vaguely aware that the other party may not be a human being.
"Okay, now is not the time for internal strife."
At the critical moment, the dignified woman on the side interrupted Red Fox's taunting and asked about business.
"Wuse, what's going on over there? Have you found the King of Light?"
Hearing this, Taoist Wu Se, who was quite angry at first, sighed and his tone became decadent.
"That Huiji is indeed a saint who only appeared in the Buddhist school for hundreds of years. He dared to show up and provoke Zhao Guizhen. He is indeed fully prepared."
"The silly prince has really become a monk, and all the true dragon energy in his body has been dissipated. There is no way he is the person Hui Ji wants to help."
When he said this, Taoist Wuse paused for a moment before continuing.
"Huiji just used him as bait to mislead us. He chose someone else."
As soon as Wuse Taoist said these words, the scene suddenly fell into silence.
But if you think about it carefully, although this result is somewhat unexpected, it is also reasonable.
Because no matter how tabooed the current emperor is about his imperial uncle, King Guang is not the orthodox successor to the throne after all.
In comparison, the five sons of the current emperor are the real contenders for the throne.
"It seems that we were intimidated by Hui Ji's name, and actually believed that he would assist that 'silly prince' to rise to power."
After a brief silence, the solemn woman spoke again.
"So since he didn't choose the 'Silly Prince', there is a high probability that he will be the other four princes."
"Is it Li Xian, King of Yi? Li Qi, King of Yan? Li Yi, King of De?"
"Or the youngest Chang Wang Li Cuo?"
As the list of candidates was announced one by one, the solemn woman also showed a rare expression of headache.
"In any case, since we have placed our treasure on King Qi Li Jun, we must not let other 'accidents' happen."
After saying this, the solemn woman turned her head and ordered towards Red Fox.
"A few days ago, there were signs of overcoming the tribulation in Fengzhuang. As expected, Hui Ji's junior brother should have appeared in Chang'an."
"You go there to investigate first. If you find that it is indeed the 'Ming King of the World', you can find a way to lure him to the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion to intensify the conflict between him and Zhao Guizhen."
"At that time, even if Hui Ji is hiding in the Daming Palace, she will definitely choose to take action."
Upon receiving this unexpected task, Red Fox was first shocked, and then he deliberately showed a reluctant look.
"Of course there is no problem with this, but I have to explain in advance that I will not appear in front of Zhao Guizhen in person."
"I'm just trying to figure out the 'Fox Cultivation Secret Record' from Qin Tian Jian, and I don't intend to risk my own life."
After hearing Red Fox's statement, the solemn woman just stared at him silently, and then turned her attention to the other practitioners who had taken refuge in King Qi.
"Lu Hu, you and Red Fox act together."
"As for the others, except those who have unfinished tasks, everyone will go with me to protect King Qi."
"And let me emphasize again, no matter what grievances you had with Qin Tianjian before, you must not conflict with them again this time."
"If I find out that another demon hunter from the Qin Tian Prison died unexpectedly and unexpectedly, I will definitely kill him with my own hands."

"Is this a lantern festival?"
Following Ah Yue with interest, Xiao Qing was controlling Pei Wende's avatar and chatting with Zou Qiwu, while he couldn't help but look at the lively lantern festival around him.
At this moment, it had been half an hour since Wen De went to Ci'en Temple.
After enjoying the delicious roasted whole lamb, the group finally began to move towards the destination of the trip - Ci'en Temple Association.
Thanks to the quick response and comfort of the monks from Ci'en Temple, the battle between Abbot Yongci and Taoist Five Colors was completely quelled without causing too much commotion.
Especially Zou Qiwu and his daughter, who, under Xiao Qing's deliberate guidance, avoided the most chaotic areas, did not even notice the commotion near the Main Hall.
"This is the lantern festival, but it's not time to put out the lanterns yet."
Leading the way happily, Ah Yue smiled proudly after hearing Xiao Qing's murmur.
In the realm of Chang'an, Ah Yue is the real host.
"It's still daytime now, but at night, when these colored lanterns float down the river or fly high into the sky, that's the most beautiful time."
Looking at Ah Yue with a fascinated look on her face, although Xiao Qing couldn't imagine what it was like, she still couldn't help but feel a little yearning.
This is an emotion that Xiaoqing would never have experienced before, and it is also a manifestation of her becoming more and more humane.
[Is this the 'human civilization' that Pei Wende said? 】
She couldn't help but think of some words that Pei Wende once said to herself. For the first time, Xiaoqing truly realized the power of "human beings".
It is not the strength of an individual, but the gathering of countless ant-like creatures, which explodes into a powerful force that can change the world and nature.
[Maybe one day, these mortals can achieve the feat of reaching the moon in the nine heavens and catching turtles in the five oceans without relying on the power of gods and monsters. 】
