Ming Shiyin was shocked.
He did not expect his master would suddenly make a move, and he had never thought of putting up a defense against his master.
Moreover, even if he did, it would be useless.
At a loss, he crossed his arms in front of him and withstood the palm seal.

Bang!

Needless to say, Mingshi Yin was no match for the palm seal at all.
He was pushed back more than ten steps and almost fell.
After he managed to stabilize his footing with great difficulty, he coughed violently.
When he recovered, he suppressed the panic threatening to overwhelm his heart and forced a smile on his face.
“Master, your strength is unrivaled.
How can your disciple be a match for you?”

Everyone averted their eyes, feeling awkward.
They could sense the strength of the palm seal.
Its speed was not particularly fast as well.
Even if Mingshi Yin were caught off guard, he would not have been pushed back and coughed so violently.
Clearly, he was acting.

‘His acting skills are very good.’

‘He has grasped the essence of Old Eighth’s skills.’

Since Yu Shangrong was aware of Mingshi Yin’s situation, he hastily added, “Master’s palm seal contained a mysterious aura.
It’s indeed unpredictable and powerful.”

Everyone.
“…”

Everyone in the Evil Sky Pavilion was very familiar with Yu Shangrong’s character.
Unlike Zhu Honggong, the Sword Devil would never flatter others.

Lu Zhou looked at Mingshi Yin’s slightly disheveled appearance and did not expose his deeds.
Instead, he only said tonelessly, “Remember one thing: the Evil Sky Pavilion is your backer.”

Everyone’s hearts jolted.
It seemed to them that Lu Zhou was trying to educate Mingshi Yin and reminding him not to embark on the path of betrayal.

On the contrary, Mingshi Yin understood the meaning behind his master’s words.
His heart moved.
He bowed and said, “I’ll remember your words, master.”

At this moment, an attendant walked in and said respectfully, “Old sir, someone from the palace is here to investigate General Xi’s murder.
Young Master Zhao would like to invite you over.”

Lu Zhou rose to his feet before he calmly said, “No.”

Then, Lu Zhou returned to his room to cultivate.

“…”

The attendant was speechless.

Mingshi Yin glared at the attendant and said, “Is my master someone you can meet just because you wish to meet him?”

“…”

The people of the Evil Sky Pavilion came to the green lotus domain to understand the general situation and to rest after staying in the dark and harsh Unknown Land for such a long time.
If they had to meet everyone who wanted to meet them, would they not be exhausted to death?

The attendant said nervously, “B-but… this is an urgent matter.”

“I’ll go with you and have a look,” Mingshi Yin said.

Yu Zhenghai walked out as well.
“Let’s go together.”

In the end, everyone from the Evil Sky Pavilion, except for Little Yuan’er, Conch, Kong Wen, and his brother, followed the attendant to the Zhao Residence’s reception hall.

When they arrived outside the hall, they saw many cultivators and soldiers stationed at the courtyard.
There were more than 100 people in total.

Mingshi Yin sneered.
“The crowd isn’t small.”

They did not stop for long and walked directly into the hall.
Upon entering the hall, they saw two unfamiliar people.
One was fat, and one was thin.
Their hair was braided, and they wore armor.
There was a black flower painted on their faces, and the corners of their eyes looked as though they had been drawn with eyeliner.
They looked very… conspicuous.

Mingshi Yin was really shocked by their appearance.

On the contrary, Yu Shangrong and Yu Zhenghai looked as though they were used to seeing something like that.

Zhao Yu hurriedly rose to his feet to greet them before he asked, “Where’s the old sir?”

Mingshi Yin said, “My master doesn’t have time to care about your affairs.
Tell me, what is it?”

Zhao Yu said awkwardly, “Uh… Allow me to make the introductions.
This is Lord Zhi Wuzi and Lord Zhi Wenzi from the palace.”

A civil and a military official had come.

Mingshi Yin only nodded coldly.
The two people’s high and mighty attitude had already disgusted him from the get-go.
Then, he said, “If there’s nothing else, I’m leaving.”

“Wait,” Zhi Wenzi called out.

Mingshi Yin said impatiently, “If you have something to say, say it quickly.
I’m busy.”

Zhi Wenzi said, “We’re under the orders of the emperor of Great Qin to investigate the murder of General Xi.
General Xi’s right-hand man, Xian Gao, died here.
Is this true?”

Zhi Wenzi was very direct.

Mingshi Yin glanced at Zhao Yu.
He did not know what Zhao Yu had said earlier.
After all, Zhao Yu was present when his master killed Xian Gao.
In the end, he feigned surprise.
“He’s dead?! Who killed him?!”

“?”

Zhi Wenzi frowned.

Zhao Yu smiled as he said, “I’ve already told you earlier.
Xiao Gao’s death has nothing to do with us.”

Zhi Wenzi stared at Mingshi Yin and continued to ask, “Where were you last night?”

“What a load of rubbish.
Do I have to report each of my movements to you? I was taking a bath in Zhao Residence.
I even answered the call of nature before I took a bath.
Satisfied?” Mingshi Yin said.

Zhi Wenzhi said, “At the time of Xian Gao’s visit, someone heard the sound of fighting.
I’ve sent people to have a look at the courtyard in the south where the sound of fighting came from.
My men found that the blue tiles have just been freshly replaced, and there are traces of a fight.
How do you explain this?”

Zhao Yu was about to speak when Zhi Wenzi said, “I’m asking him a question, not you, Young Master Zhao.
Please have a sense of propriety.”

The way Zhi Wenzhi had interjected was clearly very rude.

Mingshi Yin raised an eyebrow.
“Why don’t you just accuse me of killing Xian Gao.
Is there a need to beat around the bush?”

Zhi Wenzi nodded before he waved his hand.
“I have enough reasons to suspect you.”

The cultivators outside swarmed into the hall immediately, and those who remained outside quickly surrounded the building.
Some of them even flew up into the air.

At this moment, Zhao Yu roared, “Enough!”

“Young Master Zhao?”

“I’ve always respected the two lords, but what do you take me for? I’ll say this one more time: this matter has nothing to do with my friends.
Now, get lost!” Zhao Yu said.

Zhi Wenzi and Zhi Wuzi were shocked by Zhao Yu’s attitude.
When did the weak Young Master Zhao become so fierce?

“Are you going to defy His Majesty’s orders?” Zhi Wen Zi frowned.

“His Majesty asked you to investigate the murder, not to slander others without evidence.
I’ll speak to His Majesty about your conduct today!” Zhao Yu said angrily.

Zhi Wenzi and Zhi Wuzi stood up and bowed to Zhao Yu.

Zhi Wenzi said, “Young Master Zhao, please don’t be angry.
We admit to being rude today.
We’ll take our leave first.
Farewell.”

Following that, Zhi Wenzi waved his hand and led everyone away.
He had acted very straightforwardly.

Silence returned to the hall.

Mingshi Yin rolled his eyes and said, “It seems like anyone can just trample on you and flaunt their power…”

Zhao Yu’s flushed red before he sighed.
“Those two aren’t simple.
They’re the right-hand men of the emperor of Great Qin.
They handle many affairs on the emperor’s behalf.
Seeing them can be considered seeing the emperor himself.”

Mingshi Yin said sarcastically, “Wow, you’re a hero today then for standing up to them..”

Zhao Yu sighed.
“These two were experts from the old nation of Great Jin.
After Great Jin fell, they followed the emperor of Great Qin and became known as the Emperor’s Gemini.
Their cultivation bases and skills are profound.”

Mingshi Yin asked, “Do you still believe those people?”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yu took a seat.
A disappointed expression could be seen on his face as he said, “You’re right.
I’m a fool.
The fool of Zhao Residence.”

Although it was hard to accept, the cruelty of reality forced Zhao Yu to sober up.

Yu Shangrong looked outside the hall and asked tonelessly, “What are the cultivation bases of the Emperor’s Gemini?”

“I don’t know.
I think they should be stronger than Xi Qishu,” Zhao Yu replied.

After Zhi Wenzi and Zhi Wuzi left the Zhao Residence with their men, Zhi Wuzi asked, “Elder brother, are you sure?”

Zhi Wenzi nodded.
“Yes.
That young man killed Xian Gao and Xi Qishu, and the young man holding the sword is the accomplice.”

“Then, why didn’t you capture them?” Zhi Wuzi asked, puzzled.

“There’s a new discovery,” Zhi Wenzi said as he turned to look in the direction of the Zhao Residence, “They’re stained with the smell of Xi Qishu.
No matter how hard they try, they can’t get rid of it.
Moreover, they reek of blood as well.
This isn’t something you can sense with cultivation…”

“I, naturally, trust Elder Brother in this regard,” Zhi Wuzi said.

Zhi Wenzi continued to say expressionlessly, “About the new discovery I mentioned… I smelled a unique scent on that young man.”

“What is it?”

“Meng Mingshi…”
