Chapter 92: Is there really something wrong with your body?
After dealing with the pursuers, Ye Chengfeng went to meet up with Fan Ruoruo.
On the way back, Ye Chengfeng kept thinking about what Emperor Qing's purpose was.
"Emperor Qing is also a Grandmaster. He knows the power of a Grandmaster, and he should know even more clearly that fewer than a hundred eighth-rank martial artists pose no threat to me."
"Or is he unsure whether I've truly broken through to the Grandmaster level, and believes these people are capable of killing me?"
Ye Chengfeng's guess was only half right.
Emperor Qing did indeed intend to test whether Ye Chengfeng had truly broken through to the Grandmaster level.
Moreover, he didn't carry out the attack himself; he ordered Li Yunrui to do it.
There must be people arranged by Emperor Qing in the Junshan Society, but Li Yunrui is still the one who truly controls it.
This was originally Emperor Qing's plan, and the ultimate goal of the Junshan Society was also very simple: to assassinate him.
That's right, that's Emperor Qing's boldness—using himself as bait to lure the other three Grandmasters into a trap.
Of course, Emperor Qing also needed to give the other Grandmasters a reason to kill him.
Ye Chengfeng suddenly stopped, a possibility coming to mind!
"Could this be Emperor Qing's purpose? If I survive this, I must be a Grandmaster. Even if he sends more people, it will only increase casualties. If nothing happens, then he can confirm that I am a Grandmaster and at the same time, he can forge a deadly enmity with me!"
This conclusion sent a chill down Ye Chengfeng's spine.
"If I didn't know the plot, I might actually have fallen for it!"
At the same time, Ye Chengfeng also thought that in the original work, Li Yunrui really persuaded the other three grandmasters to agree to assassinate Emperor Qing.
Now that Ye Chengfeng is involved, the three of them will probably be more easily persuaded.
As for changing the assassination location, that's even more impossible.
Without complete certainty, Emperor Qing would not even leave the palace.
"I wonder if Emperor Qing will have made plans ahead of time?"
Ye Chengfeng was in a bit of a predicament; he didn't even have anyone to discuss this with.
Because he didn't know how to explain how he got this information.
"No, we're missing a catalyst, a catalyst that can unite everyone!"
Ye Chengfeng recalled that in the original novel, Emperor Qing used the pretext that Crown Prince Li Chengqian had an affair with Princess Li Yunrui and that Princess Li Yunrui had contracted venereal disease.
That's why they went to Mount Dadong to offer sacrifices to Heaven and depose Li Chengqian from his position as Crown Prince.
As for Li Chengze, he was already dead at that point in the original story.
Clearly, we can no longer deduce things according to the original plot, and Ye Chengfeng was perfectly aware of this.
He frowned, another possibility coming to mind.
"Perhaps I will become that opportunity now, and Emperor Qing will give me an opportunity I cannot refuse!"
"What kind of opportunity will it be?"
Ye Chengfeng currently knows too little information, and he believes that Emperor Qing could not possibly know much about him.
With this preconceived notion, Ye Chengfeng found it difficult to judge Emperor Qing's future plans.
"Never mind, let's go meet up with Ruoruo and Xiaolan first!"
Putting aside his distracting thoughts, Ye Chengfeng quickly reunited with Fan Ruoruo and Xiao Lan.
"Young Master resolved it so quickly?"
Xiao Lan was still a little incredulous, even though she had seen Ye Chengfeng and Ye Liuyun fight back in Jiangnan.
But all she knew was that the battle was massive; Xiaolan didn't know the specifics.
"They're just some small fry, how long can they last?"
"Let's go, let's head to Northern Qi as soon as possible."
This time, Ye Chengfeng didn't even ask Fan Ruoruo's opinion. He simply picked her up and, together with Xiao Lan, used his lightness skill to travel.
Putting aside Ye Chengfeng's strength, even Xiao Lan, a ninth-rank expert, possesses terrifying speed and endurance.
The two traveled at full speed, their pace no less than that of those fine steeds.
After entering the capital city, Ye Chengfeng asked Xiao Lan to take Fan Ruoruo to an inn to rest.
As for himself, he naturally went to find Zhan Doudou.
When the three arrived in Kyoto, it was already evening.
By the time Ye Chengfeng entered the palace, it was already completely dark.
"Zhan Doudou should be handling state affairs in the Imperial Study right now!"
Back in the capital, Ye Chengfeng often sneaked into the palace.
"Oh, busy?"
The sudden sound startled Zhan Doudou, especially since it came from behind her.
When Zhan Doudou came to her senses, she immediately realized that the familiar voice belonged to the man she had been longing for.
"Hmph, you didn't use this tone when you yelled at me last time."
Ye Chengfeng was not surprised and immediately pulled Zhan Doudou into his arms.
"Heh, how can you, the emperor of a nation, be so petty?"
"I heard you've broken through to the Grandmaster realm?"
Ye Chengfeng had long anticipated that Zhan Doudou would ask him this question.
"No, breaking through to the Grandmaster level isn't that easy."
Upon hearing Ye Chengfeng say that he had not made a breakthrough, Zhan Doudou was immediately disappointed.
"However, my current strength is only slightly inferior to that of a Grandmaster."
"Hmph, look how smug you are!"
"Wait, what did you say? Your strength rivals that of a Grandmaster?"
Zhan Doudou completely ignored Ye Chengfeng's comment about "almost".
"Well, if I fight with all my might, I can fight a Grandmaster for hundreds of rounds."
Zhan Doudou had some understanding of how powerful Grandmasters were.
Other ninth-rank cultivators, let alone fighting a grandmaster for several rounds, would be instantly killed in one move.
Those ninth-rank experts could only bully Wu Zhu, who had no true qi. But even Wu Zhu could kill a ninth-rank expert within three moves.
"I came here this time intending to go into seclusion here for a period of time, and strive to truly break through to the Grandmaster level."
"Okay, do you need my help?"
Zhan Doudou was very happy, breaking through to the Grandmaster level was a big deal, but Ye Chengfeng came to her place to go into seclusion.
What does this mean?
This means Ye Chengfeng trusts her enough.
Although Zhan Doudou was very curious, she wondered why Ye Chengfeng didn't go to Dongyi City to cultivate in seclusion.
After all, there was a Grandmaster there who had a better relationship with Ye Chengfeng, so Ye Chengfeng could ask him for protection.
Ye Chengfeng naturally guessed what Zhan Doudou was thinking at that moment.
"Do you really think I have a good relationship with that old man, Si Gu Jian?"
"Isn't that right?"
"He himself wanted me to protect Dongyi City, but he didn't necessarily want to see me break through to the Grandmaster level."
Ye Chengfeng's statement was inaccurate; Si Gu Jian only wanted Ye Chengfeng to become the city lord of Dongyi City, nothing more.
"Alright, let's not talk about that. Get me some more swords."
"How much do you need?"
"The more the better!"
Zhan Doudou's strength was weak, and she didn't understand Ye Chengfeng's cultivation method. Since Ye Chengfeng said so, she would try her best to satisfy him.
"There's another question: why didn't I get pregnant after we did that?"
This problem has always been a thorn in Zhan Doudou's side; several months have passed, and she still hasn't gotten pregnant.
"No way, are you out of your mind? Just once, and you want to get pregnant with my child?"
"Hmph, I took medicine to help me get pregnant beforehand, and the imperial physician said I would definitely get pregnant. This must be your problem."
Zhan Doudou pinned Ye Chengfeng down, looking at him strangely: "You don't actually have a problem with your body, do you?"
"Since you dare to doubt my abilities, today I'll show you what I'm capable of."
