Ye Feng rubbed his forehead. Since there was no one around, wasn't the mission of the Envoy Group going to be a complete failure? Although it had nothing to do with him, he felt that he was now part of the Envoy Group, and if there were any shortcomings in the team, he couldn't help but feel a bit melancholic.
However, just when everyone was at a loss, Huang Tian began to look at him with an extremely strange gaze!
Ye Feng sensed something was off and looked back at Huang Tian, noticing a cunning glint in his eyes. When he glanced at Yuxiu and the others, they were all looking at him with an expression that was unmistakably clear!
"Don't look at me like that. I—I can't do it!" Ye Feng immediately expressed his thoughts, unable to guess what these people were thinking.
What a joke! Asking him to replace Huang Tian in a sparring match? That was simply inappropriate!
Not to mention that if he took on this task, he would have to fight against his own Sect's Core Disciple. Who knew what kind of experts might come from Azure Thunder Sect and Taiyi Tower? This kind of thankless task was certainly not something he wanted to undertake!
However, since Huang Tian and the others had thought of this capable individual with both strength and skill, they naturally had no reason to give up. Huang Tian began to persuade him gently: "Young friend Ye Feng, you see, you have already helped our Envoy Group quite a bit, and I am very grateful for that. However, since our goal is the same—we all want to eliminate Alfalfa, then before we do that, it would be reasonable for you to lend us a hand."
Ye Feng felt overwhelmed and thought to himself that this made no sense. Eliminating Alfalfa did not mean he had to take on Huang Tian's responsibilities; gratitude didn't work like that!
But before he could retort, Yuxiu chimed in as well!
"Brother Ye, good deeds should be done thoroughly. This time our Envoy Group has benefited from your help. In the future, if you need anything, I, Yuxiu, will be the first to step up and assist you!"
"This..." With such a statement, Ye Feng found it hard to resist. Soon after, Lian'er also stepped forward to fan the flames!
"Ye Feng, don't refuse us. Among our group of people, aside from the seer, you're the only one capable of competing with the Core Disciples of the Three Great Heavenly-Level Sects. Considering that the seer is willing to risk a fake death to eliminate Alfalfa, please help us out!"
With just a few words, they had said everything they needed to say and made their case completely. Even if Ye Feng wanted to argue back, he couldn't find the words! He could only brace himself and forced a smile: "You all planned this out well; it's like coercing someone into submission. Did you ever think about what would happen if I failed?"
Hearing him say this, everyone realized that he had already considered it and couldn't help but show joy on their faces!
Huang Tian smiled and said, "Whether you succeed or fail, it counts as a contribution to our Envoy Group. We won't blame you! Besides, if you fail, then I would probably fail too, so don't worry about it!"
Ye Feng appeared troubled, but inwardly he was sneering. With your hidden strength, if you still faced defeat, that would be truly unbelievable. However, this was merely his inner thoughts. Since he had already decided to agree, and given that the other party had indeed made significant sacrifices to eliminate Alfalfa, he couldn't keep refusing.
Yuxiu looked at Ye Feng's difficulty and continued, "Actually, it's not as terrifying as you think. The so-called sparring has its limits. As long as we can help our Envoy Group gain insight into the strength of the other disciples, then we have completed our mission. It's not necessary to defeat them to win!"
Lian'er quickly added, "Yes, in the previous two great empires, our seers did not always achieve complete victories. As long as we can obtain information about the potential contained within the other Sect, that would be enough!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Feng showed a look of shock and thought incredulously that with Huang Tian's terrifying hidden realm, he could still fail in other empires? However, seeing the smile on his face, it was likely that he had intentionally lost. Ye Feng pondered again why Huang Tian would do such a thing.
The relationship between the Qin Empire, the Envoy Group, and him was unclear. Previously, Ye Feng had planned to enter the Qin Empire to rescue his mother. He suddenly realized that this was a deep pit; if he wasn't careful, he would fall into it and be unable to extricate himself!
However, thinking of his ultimate goal, he gritted his teeth and said, "Understood. I will do my best!"
Upon hearing this, everyone felt a surge of emotion. In fact, Ye Feng could have refused unconditionally, but in the end, he still accepted!
"Thank you..." Huang Tian said softly. As a handsome man, he seemed to finally reveal some of his true self at this moment; perhaps he wasn't as scheming as he appeared!
Ye Feng sighed and didn't want to think about such complicated issues anymore. Since they already had a plan for the next step, they could probably leave the palace now!
However, before that, everyone suddenly realized an issue! That is, since Huang Tian faked his death and everyone believed it to be true, where should he go next?
He certainly couldn't follow the Envoy Group to the Three Great Heavenly-Level Sects; otherwise, even with disguise and makeup, it would be hard to avoid being recognized by the legendary Ye Feng! But aside from following the Envoy Group, where else could Huang Tian go?
Yuxiu furrowed her brows tightly and began analyzing. It was certain that Huang Tian must leave the palace; as for what to do after leaving the palace, it seemed that needed serious consideration!
However, regarding this matter, Huang Tian seems to have his own ideas! He smiled and said, "Don't worry, I've already thought it through. I will take the lead and meet with Xie Tianyu to help investigate Alfalfa's whereabouts. If I die, she will probably lower her guard. With both me and Xie Tianyu working together, it will be easier to investigate, and the chances of eliminating her in the future will be greater!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Feng nodded. This was indeed a good choice. He was originally worried that Xie Tianyu would be too reckless going into the Princess Mansion alone. After all, no one could say how many hidden experts were around Alfalfa. Given Xie Tianyu's strength, if discovered, escaping would become a significant problem!
"Since that's the case, let's split up. I will accompany Xie Tianyu first. We will go to see His Majesty and request to leave the palace!" Yuxiu thought for a moment and said.
Lian'er agreed. Ye Feng and the others bid farewell to Huang Tian, who vanished in a flash. Once Huang Tian's presence completely disappeared from the palace, everyone felt relieved!
With Huang Tian's hidden true realm, leaving the palace silently was not difficult at all, as long as he wasn't being watched by Ye Feng. At this moment, Ye Feng and the others couldn't afford to think about his safety. Following Yuxiu's lead, a group of eunuchs began to take them to meet Your Majesty Tianyuan!
At this moment, Dragon in the Wild had returned to the Imperial Study. The eunuch's notification soon arrived. Under his summons, Ye Feng and the others entered the Imperial Study again for an intimate audience with His Majesty.
Perhaps due to feelings of guilt, Dragon in the Wild directly offered them seats without requiring any formalities upon seeing them again. He also inquired about their well-being and confirmed that Yuxiu and the others had properly arranged Huang Tian's ashes before expressing his heartfelt sorrow: "Although I only had a brief encounter with Prophet Huang, I felt an extraordinary connection. I never expected that the prophet would leave us like this; it truly saddens me!"
The genuine sorrow he displayed was unmistakable to everyone present. If Yuxiu and the others were not aware of the situation, they might have been moved by his sincerity. However, since the reality was different, they had nothing to hold back!
According to their previous plan, they needed to elevate their status so that Dragon in the Wild would believe that Prophet Huang had truly passed away due to negligence within the palace. This could amplify Dragon in the Wild's guilt and ensure that Ye Feng and others received the best treatment while leaving without suspicion!
"Your Majesty, you need not trouble yourself to inform our ruler about this matter. We already have our own plans. Once we return home, we will explain everything in detail. We also hope that during our remaining time here, you can find the true culprit so that we can explain it to our ruler!"
Yuxiu's somewhat serious expression heightened Your Majesty Tianyuan's sense of apology. As expected, the more deliberately the Envoy Group behaved this way, the more pressure it placed on Dragon in the Wild. He cleared his throat a few times and said with deep emotion: "Rest assured, such matters occurring within my palace will certainly receive a satisfactory response from me. I hope you all can stay in the palace for a few more days so that I can notify you as soon as I have news!"
Upon hearing this, Yuxiu immediately stood up to object: "We appreciate your kindness, Your Majesty; however, even though Prophet Huang has passed away, we still have our own tasks to complete. We came here to bid farewell to Your Majesty; the three major Sects are also waiting for us!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Dragon in the Wild looked somewhat astonished. Although he knew about their mission across the land, with the prophet already dead, it seemed unnecessary for the Envoy Group to rush back to report to the three major Sects so urgently? This was somewhat different from what he had anticipated; he thought that keeping them for a few more days would give him time for deeper investigation. However, if he let them go now, it would be difficult to retain them later!
Considering this situation, Dragon in the Wild said somewhat awkwardly, "Why are you all in such a hurry? I still want to hold a state funeral for Prophet Huang. If you leave so early, it will be difficult for me to proceed with that!"
It was an obvious attempt to retain them, but it did not sway Yuxiu and the others. They were eager to leave the palace; no matter what Your Majesty Tianyuan said, it was not going to change their minds!
"Your Majesty, given what has happened to our Envoy Group, we are already heartbroken. Staying in the palace will only add to our sorrow. We hope Your Majesty can understand that we wish to fulfill the Prophet's wishes and leave your country as soon as possible..."
"This..." Dragon in the Wild sensed their firm decision. If he continued to plead, it would likely be futile, and he could only sigh repeatedly.
"Since you have made up your minds, whatever I say would not respect your opinions. However, before you leave, I would like to express my heartfelt words!"
"Please go ahead, Your Majesty!"
"The Prophet was a natural talent who achieved great fame at just over twenty years old. Such individuals are extremely rare on the continent. No one could have anticipated that the Prophet's fate would fall within my palace. I am truly sorry for this. I will also announce to the world that Prophet Huang will be honored as a long-term noble guest of my Sky Abyss Empire. I hope your country can understand my intentions. I never wished for such a thing to happen and do not want this incident to lead to conflict between our nations!"
The implication was clear: Dragon in the Wild hoped that no matter what happened, the friendship between him and the Qin Empire would endure!
However, this was something Yuxiu and the others could not promise because according to Huang Tian's plan, even after returning home, they would not reveal the truth of his survival so soon, as there were still enemies waiting there!
