Chapter 137 ALL THE ANSWERS THEY NEED

SHEN JI YUN quickly moved towards the courtyard. He used two of his Temporary Skills – [Conceal] and [Accelerate]. Increasing his speed while hiding his presence. Arriving at the courtyard, he immediately checked every room as fast and as stealthy as he could.

As he continued to move towards a certain direction of the courtyard, the number of servants got less and less. A clear sign that he’s going in the right direction. Then he heard a crashing sound. Like the sound of breaking glasses. Having confirmed that he’s definitely on the right track, he rushed forward where the crashing sound came from. And he ended up in front of a room, quite isolated from the rest.

He carefully opened the door screen and looked inside. The whole room was in a mess. Books were scattered around. A table was flipped over. There were fragments of vases and tea cups on the floor. Which was what Shen Ji Yun heard breaking earlier. Three people were inside. Two men and a woman. He recognized one of the men as Lin Mo. The woman was most likely his wife – Xinyi. He wasn’t sure about the remaining man though.

The man was wearing a simple nondescript blue robe. Even his features were plain. If he stood with a group of people, he would definitely not be the one to be noticed first.

Lin Mo was heaving violently. His whole face was red in anger. "That damn Lin Ze! Of all the people he had to travel with, why did it have to be that godly doctor?!"

If Shen Ji Yun remembered it correctly, ’Lin Ze’ was the name of the crown prince.

"I already told you not to be impatient. The crown prince was the only target tonight. But you still had to go and poison your father," the man in blue said, a bit condescending.

Lin Mo glared sharply at the man. "You could only say that because you’re not in my position. Do you know what that old man told me before the banquet? He said why can’t I be more like my ’older brother’? As if that son of his never did anything wrong in his life! When in fact, he only got lucky because he’s born from the old man’s official wife. The daughter of a general. While my mother was just a lowly servant," he said full of sarcasm and bitterness. "Do you know what that old man did when my mother died because of his wife’s schemes? Nothing! He did nothing! As if my mother was just a piece of rag he decided to throw away. Tell me, now that I have the chance to kill the old man, why wouldn’t I take it?"

"Because it’s not the time," the man in blue simply said. "But clearly, you seem to not care. I already told you to change your habit of following your emotions. And now I have to clean up your mess."

"I’m sure Ah Mo didn’t mean for it to end up this way," the woman – Xinyi – said, obviously defending Lin Mo.

"Of course I didn’t," Lin Mo said, gritting his teeth. "Most of the mistakes that happened tonight was because of the blunder of Yuexing Pavilion. Not to mention your own blunder! You couldn’t even stop a little girl from hearing our conversation!"

Shen Ji Yun guessed this ’little girl’ was most likely the second young miss.

"I already took care of the second young miss. And the people from Yuexing Pavilion won’t talk," Xinyi assured.

Lin Mo only snorted.

"I suggest you stop that insolent act towards Her Highness. May I remind you that she’s still a princess of my country. You wouldn’t achieve your dreams of becoming this country’s Emperor without her on your side. So I suggest you should be more courteous," the man in blue robe said.

Those just revealed a lot of important information. Information that could solve the Mysteries in this door.

Lin Mo clenched both fists, his face completely grim. It was obvious that he was trying to control his anger. "I know."

"Minister Zhao, it’s alright. You don’t have to speak that way towards Ah Mo. I’m sure he already understands," Xinyi said.

"Of course, Your Highness." The man Xinyi called Minister Zhao stood up from where he was sitting. "I will go and contact the others, so we could proceed to the next part of the plan. To make sure that this night would not go to waste."

When he was about to leave, Shen Ji Yun threw the ball Uriel gave him. Soon, smoke came out from it. He closed the door of the room to make sure that the smoke wouldn’t go outside.

A few minutes later, when the smoke subsided, he went inside. He saw the three collapsed and couldn’t move. But all were conscious based on the glared he was receiving. The fact that they weren’t screaming or shouting at him right now proved that, not only were they paralyzed, they also couldn’t talk.

So, Shen Ji Yun went and tied the three up.

"So, is Yunyue planning to join the next season of Arcadia Cup?" Uriel suddenly asked.

Luo Yan glanced at the guy. They were currently standing behind a huge tree near the courtyard, waiting for Shen Ji Yun to go back. "Why do you suddenly ask?"

Duan Yu shrugged. "Because my team’s captain would love to have a proper fight with your team. Well, more specifically, your captain. He would definitely be glad if I tell him Yunyue is back."

Which was the truth. Li Xu Min have longed wanted to have a proper battle against Yunyue. Probably because he just wanted to know if Celestials was really the best team in Arcadia. Or if they’re only the best because they had never fought against Yunyue.

Luo Yan smiled interestingly at Uriel. "What, your captain is not afraid my captain is going to beat his ass?"

"I don’t know about that. But I’m sure my captain wouldn’t be beaten so easily. Especially by someone who hasn’t fought a team battle for five years. Your captain might have already lost his touch, for all we know," Duan Yu said, smiling back at Noctis.

For some reason, that kind of pissed off Luo Yan. It seemed he didn’t like hearing people say those kind of words about Shen Ji Yun. Like him ’losing his touch’ or something. Was it because they belong to the same team now? And any doubts about his ability would also reflecte the team’s?

Before he could think more, the person in question suddenly appeared beside him.

"I got all the answers we need," Shen Ji Yun directly said.
