"Once upon a time, I was almost madly obsessed with the path of Ye Feng. However, when I realized that a Martial Saint who is impulsive and only seeks to grow stronger without purpose could never cross that threshold, I understood that sometimes, calming down and reflecting on why I embarked on the path of a martial artist could help me grasp the true essence of being a warrior..."
Inside the Princess Mansion, a young man disguised as a servant had his facial features distorted, yet his extraordinarily handsome outline still revealed a hint of his true identity. Although he was unrecognizable to acquaintances, his words left people in awe.
Xie Tianyu looked at this servant with admiration. This legendary servant from the Divine Martial Continent was not truly a servant but rather Huang Tian in disguise!
After bidding farewell to Ye Feng and others, he directly infiltrated the Princess Mansion. For someone with his hidden strength, this was not difficult at all; as long as he was not closely observed by the most powerful invisible Three Shadows near the princess, he would not be detected by his aura.
This was also the Secret Technique he had once glimpsed from Ye Feng's realm! It could be said that the person who erupted in the palace that day was the real him—the true first under Ye Feng! That person would not be Chifeng, nor would it be the Three Shadows, and certainly not the Royal Blade Guard!
Perhaps Luo Xin, the top Core Disciple of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, and Ye Feng were qualified to be included in this list of firsts under Ye Feng, but in terms of pure martial understanding, Huang Tian was the only one!
He seemed like the chosen one by heaven itself; at less than thirty years old, he had one foot nearly crossed into Ye Feng's threshold. It was only because he caught a glimpse of a sliver of truth that he realized Ye Feng did not become who he was through mere strength. Afterward, he resolutely chose to fall back in cultivation!
Nevertheless, even so, in the eyes of the public, he remained the perfect prince; in the eyes of loyal subordinates, he was still the most powerful prince. The myth surrounding him had never ended; it was merely writing its latest chapter!
The so-called stepping down from the pedestal was just giving others an opportunity!
Xie Tianyu followed this disguised Huang Tian servant while listening to his master's profound understanding of Ye Feng. At the same time, he became familiar with the environment inside the Princess Mansion. Although they still failed to successfully infiltrate the princess's room to uncover some key secrets, getting acquainted with their primary target's living environment was already quite good for their initial reconnaissance! If necessary, they would also consider taking action within the Princess Mansion! Although it was risky, it was an unavoidable option!
Due to their inability to ascertain the princess's daily habits or schedule, Huang Tian and Xie Tianyu could do nothing but take things step by step and prepare for the worst-case scenario to maximize their chances of eliminating Alfalfa in the future!
It is worth mentioning that after Alfalfa believed she had eliminated Huang Tian, she inexplicably did not rush back to her residence for two days but instead stayed in the palace. This provided Huang Tian and Xie Tianyu with an exceptional opportunity for investigation!
As they navigated through the vast Princess Mansion using their servant identities, they also worried about Yuxiu's situation!
Xie Tianyu primarily worried that Ye Feng might reveal a flaw; if discovered, both Yuxiu and Lian'er would likely be implicated! This situation was different from being in the palace! After all, Your Majesty Tianyuan was not a martial artist and would not act impulsively based on temperament!
Even if Huang Tian lies about certain things, as long as it is not too excessive, Dragon in the Wild will not make things too difficult for Huang Tian from a diplomatic perspective.
However, the situation with the Heavenly Mechanism Sect is completely different! The mindset between martial artists and ordinary people is entirely different! It can be described as swift retribution! Once the leader of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect discovers that the Qin Empire's Envoy Group is playing tricks on him, with Ye Feng's strength and temperament, it would not be impossible for him to annihilate Ye Feng and the others on the spot!
"I wonder if that kid Ye Feng can put on a good show. I'm really worried that in the end, everything will fall apart because of him. Sigh, I shouldn't have let Lian'er go along!" Xie Tianyu murmured, concerned for his junior sister.
In the garden path of the Princess Mansion, Huang Tian, disguised as a small servant, observed that no one was paying attention to him and quietly said, "There's no need to worry so much. I believe that kid can succeed!"
Clearly, Huang Tian got to know Ye Feng after Xie Tianyu did, yet he seemed to understand Ye Feng better than the latter. This gave Xie Tianyu a fleeting illusion—could these two become good friends who would meet again in life and death?
However, this thought was just a passing fancy; the possibility was too low. Moreover, the two were completely different types of people. After thinking it over, Xie Tianyu decided it was best to focus on his own responsibilities. He had already gathered enough information about the situation in the Princess Mansion; what should they do next?
Staying longer would inevitably lead to exposure, but if they left now, where could they go?
Regarding this issue, Huang Tian offered a constructive suggestion!
"Why don't we wait for the princess to return? We can observe and see when would be the best opportunity to act. After all, without her presence in this Princess Mansion, it would be useless for us to circle around."
Upon hearing this, Xie Tianyu found it very reasonable and admired his master's wisdom even more. This was actually just a matter of his adaptability not being very sharp!
Coincidentally, on that day, after staying in the palace for two consecutive nights, Alfalfa Princess finally returned home!
With a loud shout from the steward outside the mansion, news spread throughout the Princess Mansion that the princess had returned. All the servants began to act extremely anxious! However, Xie Tianyu and Huang Tian perked up and prepared to stay alert... Although they had changed their appearances, that day Huang Tian sensed that there were definitely top experts lurking around Alfalfa. He did not intend to take that risk; thus, he still could not confront Alfalfa directly!
The urgent task was to secretly observe Alfalfa from a distance at an appropriate time and try to notice her small movements and usual habits. These seemingly insignificant details could influence whether an assassination would succeed or fail!
"You separate from me; being together makes us too conspicuous. Remember, if anything feels off, escape immediately without thinking about fighting. Don't worry about me; regardless of who encounters trouble first, the other must inform Ye Feng and them right away! If you act recklessly, both of us will be finished!"
Huang Tian finished speaking and left on his own, though he did not exit the Princess Mansion; he simply took a different path. Xie Tianyu had not yet had the chance to say anything when he unexpectedly collided with the butler coming from the opposite direction.
This butler was the same one Xie Tianyu had struck a few days ago, but at that moment, Xie Tianyu had changed his appearance. Thus, the unfortunate butler failed to recognize him. Seeing Xie Tianyu's sneaky demeanor, he couldn't help but call out to him.
"Stop! You! What are you doing? Turn around!"
Upon hearing this, Xie Tianyu stiffened, his mouth twitching. He thought it was quite unfortunate, but reluctantly turned around.
The butler looked at Xie Tianyu's disguised face and felt like he had seen it somewhere before, but he couldn't recall where. Perhaps it was because his head had been muddled from being hit that day. After staring for a while without figuring anything out, he wouldn't have been so nosy if Xie Tianyu hadn't looked unfamiliar.
"You! New here? How come I've never seen you before?"
It was the same line again. Xie Tianyu forced a smile and replied, "Yes, I'm new here, just arrived a couple of days ago!"
Upon hearing this, the butler became even more suspicious. "Is that so? But all new servants need to be vetted by me. I don't remember seeing you at all."
This was bad news for Xie Tianyu. His body tensed as he realized he was in trouble. He wasn't good at this kind of dialogue, and seeing that the other party was about to see through him made him anxious. Acting quickly, he didn't dare waste any time; his figure flashed as he executed a swift hand strike.
"Wait! Who are you!" The butler finally seemed to remember something in the face of Xie Tianyu's lightning-fast movements. Unfortunately, he could not avoid being struck by Xie Tianyu's hand chop and let out a muffled groan before passing out.
However, Xie Tianyu did not let him fall; instead, he picked him up with the intention of hiding him away.
Since this was the second time he had knocked out this butler, Xie Tianyu could not let him off easily this time! The princess had returned! If the butler woke up and reported an assassin in the mansion, everything would be over!
Yet, disposing of the butler quietly was no easy task; after all, they were not in the wilderness where one could easily hide a body.
Xie Tianyu thought of his first plan—not to kill the butler and bury him! First of all, he didn't have enough time, and secondly, it was too risky; exposure could happen at any moment! So he headed straight to the storage room. This storage room was usually empty of people; among the pile of clutter inside, he decided to seal the butler's acupoint.
Suddenly, a pile of clutter covered him! In the wide-eyed gaze of the other party, it was confirmed that he could not make a sound, and for a certain period, he would not be able to break free from the pressure points. Only then did they feel relieved and leave!
At this moment, where had Huang Tian gone? He had no idea! Unfortunately, an even worse situation occurred!
The Alfalfa Princess unexpectedly bumped into him directly! She didn't even give Xie Tianyu a chance to evade; she saw him and walked towards him!
Faced with Alfalfa's slow approach, Xie Tianyu felt increasingly anxious. At this moment, running away seemed to still be an option, but he held onto a glimmer of hope that she might not see through his disguise! After all, his current appearance was just like that little servant who delivered wine to the palace a couple of days ago!
It was precisely through this guise that he had fooled everyone!
With this mindset, Xie Tianyu swallowed several times but ultimately did not make a move to flee. Instead, he walked as naturally as possible toward the princess!
Step by step, he got closer. His accelerated heartbeat gradually returned to normal under the control of his martial arts training. Soon, Alfalfa Princess was less than a meter away from him! Xie Tianyu stopped in his tracks, bowed to the princess in the manner of a servant, and mimicked the tone of voice that little servant had used that day!
This series of actions did not immediately alert Alfalfa to anything unusual about him. However, she approached with a cold demeanor and said coolly, "The wine you delivered that day was excellent; I truly appreciate it!"
Upon hearing this, Xie Tianyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Alfalfa still remembered how he had successfully 'taken care' of Huang Tian by delivering the wine that day. This way, it appeared he could take advantage of the situation...
"The princess is joking; it is merely my duty as a servant. If there are any unspeakable matters in the future, just let me handle them. Although I am an ordinary person, I am clever enough not to disappoint you!"
