"Yue Xiao Zhe, number seven, Ye Hua Shi. Four months ago, following the orders of Feather Emperor, I went to Yuezhou to look for 'Dragon Marks'. "

In the early hours of the morning, the Jade Pivot Pavilion was still brightly lit. The woman in black stood under the wooden cover and answered meticulously.

She was Yu Ren, and her tight night clothes outlined her exquisite figure. Different from ordinary female Yu Ren's slim and slim figure, her figure was well-proportioned, and her four limbs looked strong and sturdy, with a type of wild beauty. At this moment, she was slightly lowering her head with a humble demeanor. However, she couldn't hide the arrogance in her eyes.

"Number Seven, let me ask you, what is a 'dragon mark'?" Xue Yin Shu looked at her.

On both sides of the main table sat Tang Luo and Ba Qi Lu. Tang Luo looked at this young Yue Xiao Zhe, and already sighed eighteen times over at what had just happened. As for Ba Qi Lu, the person involved, although he was slightly injured, he still insisted on staying here to find out.

Tang Zi Qi's injuries were not light. Although there was no danger to his life, he was still in a coma after the treatment, and was being guarded by the imperial physician within the palace. Xue Yin Shu ordered someone to detain Ye Hua Shi, and she did not have any objections, she had been extremely obedient.

"Long Hen, at Your Majesty's place, is the information left behind by the ancient dragon race. He has always been very interested in the dragon ruins, and has continuously ordered people to search for it over the years. " Ye Hua Shi did not refuse and replied very calmly.

"What?" Could it be that the Feather Emperor is like the Hidden Dragon Gate, and revered evil beings like dragons? " Ba Qi Lu's incredulous tone had a hint of indignation.

"There's no need to be so impatient in Lord Su Xing. I can explain a bit." Tang Luo said, "Your Majesty has always focused on visiting all kinds of mysterious things, in order to find the origin of our world. The Ancient Dragon Clan is not an evil being. Even though they have always been one of his concerns, they are only one of them.

Everyone was well aware that Xue Xiao Yi was such a person, so Ba Qi Lu nodded his head. Xue Yin Shu, on the other hand, was never willing to comment on what his father had done.

"The most important part of the dragon remains that the Your Majesty is looking for is a secret spell recorded down in the Dragon language. Half a year ago, I found some clues from Yuezhou. But I've been hiding in the dark for a long time and I haven't really found it. Later on, I finally found out that the Hidden Dragon Gate had given me that secret curse as a sacred seal. It was just a symbol of one's identity, passed down from generation to generation through some kind of strange means, without any written records. " Ye Hua Shi continued, "Every time a Hidden Dragon Gate obtains the recognition of a higher ups and receives the inheritance of a secret technique within the sect, they would go through a ceremony and carve the secret imprint onto their body. They believed that they would be able to obtain the Dragon God's power this way. In reality, that was indeed the case. That was because those special inscriptions could not be seen normally. They would only appear when they needed to burst forth with power that surpassed their own. They think that's the power of the dragon. "

Xue Yin Shu thought back to the situation at that time, "Are you talking about the glowing patterns on Ni Lin He Ma's back?"

"Yes." Ni Lin He Ma is only one of the Hidden Dragon Gate who possess this kind of inscription but I chose to start from his body for a reason. " Ye Hua Shi's tone suddenly became hesitant.

"Go on."

"If they want to see the secret curse, they must force He Luo into a corner in order for them to unleash the power of a so-called dragon. But I can't fight them alone. So I didn't do anything at all. Amongst all the He Luo s that I know of who have a secret curse on, I realized that although Ni Lin He Ma is brave and fierce, his mental fortitude is the weakest and he is the easiest to be confused about. As long as I use illusions as bait, maybe I can lead him to go crazy and act as he pleases. " Ye Hua Shi glanced at Ba Qi Lu, "At this time, with Ni Lin He Ma taking the lead, the Hidden Dragon Gate sent people to stop Thundereye County Su Xing's group. I followed them. "

"You've been following us?" Ba Qi Lu asked, "From the beginning?"

Ye Hua Shi smiled slightly, and said: "That's right. But I didn't do anything at first. I just watched a few of your fights. I am very disappointed, because Ni Lin He Ma did not use his full strength; I could not see what I wanted. "

"Did you ever save us?" Ba Qi Lu seemed to have thought of something.

"I did give the Hidden Dragon Gate a bit of a headache when you guys engaged in a head-on battle with each other in Southern Waves, but I didn't do it to save you guys." Ye Hua Shi was not greedy, "I just wanted to force Ni Lin He Ma to use his killing move, so that I could see the secret curse on his body."

"So that's how it is." When he thought of how he,, had been secretly spying on his group of people, even though they had a slim chance of survival, Ba Qi Lu could not help but clench his teeth. However, regardless of the other party's intentions, he had still helped them from the shadows and could not turn a blind eye to their intentions. At that moment, Ba Qi Lu's expression became very complicated.

"Yes." Until you all arrived at Qiu Ye Jing and the Lord Su Xing was left alone, I know that you no longer have the ability to face them head on. However, your identity is special after all. In Qiu Ye Jing, the Hidden Dragon Gate would not dare to be too presumptuous. Furthermore, with the secret guards following beside you, Ni Lin He Ma gradually felt that there was no other way left for him to take advantage of them and they had already started to retreat. "

Xue Yin Shu said coldly, "But even though they want to give up, you do not want to give up."

"Yeah." Ye Hua Shi sighed, "Crown Prince, I have followed them for so long, how can I give up? I had to use my wrist a little in secret to provoke a dispute with the palace guards. He never thought that Hema would be able to resist the temptation and not attack the Lord Su Xing in the end. I had no choice but to think of another way. I know that other than killing Lord Su Xing, they also have another goal, which is to snatch the ferro-fusiform Su Xing is carrying. At that time, no one knew where the ferro-fusiform is. As a result, I used a few days to create a illusion of a Milo. I made them believe that the ferro-fusiform was in that illusion. But there were no ferro-fusiform at that time, I just tried to get them to enter the urn. "

As a result, Ba Qi Lu discovered that the Hidden Dragon Gate that had been following him all this time had disappeared. Only then did he make up his mind, and think of a way to get rid of the Feather's secret guards, and start moving.

"Is filling in the overlap between the Milo just a coincidence?"

"Yeah. How would I know that the place I chose is the reverse side of the 'Dual Box Technique'. And just at that time, Lord Su Xing opened it? " Ye Hua Shi finally said somewhat helplessly, "To be honest, I don't know what it will be like after I let them enter the Milo's illusion world. I just wanted to do my best. I set up the illusion that Hema and the others were almost delirious with suspicion. But after all, the illusion was only an illusion, and it was difficult to inflict any substantial damage on Hema and his party. There was no opponent, no battle, and I still couldn't see what I wanted to see. I, on the other hand, find it difficult to fight them alone. Just as I was at a loss as to what to do, I was surprised to find that my illusions had been invaded by another kind of arcane spell and almost lost their balance. After stabilizing the Milo's space once again, I felt that the true appearance of this space was now completely different from before. I can feel the power of the filled stars, and A Qi and Lord Su Xing have also come to this place. "

The appearance of Ba Qi Lu and Tang Zi Qi gave her hope once again. Because Ni Lin He Ma had a real opponent.

"I revealed the location of the Lord Su Xing and the ferro-fusiform to Hema's group, but who would've thought that Hema would start to act separately from the others. Originally, when they entered the Milo, they were looking for ferro-fusiform. The other six attacked the Lord Su Xing, allowing Hema to find the ferro-fusiform. At this time, Your Highness, Su Xing and A Qi tried to continue acting according to the situation. I know that my illusion has no meaning, so I stopped using the Milo technique. You guys found Hema very quickly indeed. You know what happened afterwards. The Your Highness was too attached to Hema, so I was afraid that the Your Highness would be dragged into the collapsed space, hence I shot that arrow. "I didn't expect that..."

"Really?" Xue Yin Shu interrupted her, and she spoke with a tone that was neither joy nor anger, "The arrow you shot out, was it for this?"

Ye Hua Shi raised his head, his eyes revealing a look of astonishment, as if he was shocked by his suspicions. After a long while, she asked in a low voice, "Why else would Your Highness think that I did it for?"

"You've seen what you want to see in Hema, haven't you?"

Ye Hua Shi remained silent for a while, when suddenly, she took a step to the side and suddenly pulled out a guard's sword.

"How dare you!" Yun Chen bellowed. At the same time, all of the guards present drew their swords and pointed them straight at Ye Hua Shi.

Ye Hua Shi held onto the sword horizontally, one hand holding onto the sword blade, only seeing blood slowly dripping. She raised her head and said haughtily: "If Your Highness suspects that I have other intentions, I won't dare to differentiate. After all, I have offended the Your Highness and injured A Qi. No matter how much punishment Your Highness gives me, even if I have to sacrifice myself, I will not hold back! "

"What are you doing, put your sword down!" Tang Luo stood up and shouted.

Ye Hua Shi stood below, and slowly raised his hands above his head, maintaining the posture of offering the longsword with both hands. His expression was calm, but there was a soundless stubbornness in his expression. Xue Yin Shu looked at her, his thoughts changing rapidly. After a while, he said, "Miss Ye, there is no need to be like this."

Ye Hua Shi's expression softened a little, and he slowly lowered his hands that were held high, lowering his head slightly: "Thank you, Your Highness."

"But there's one more thing I want to ask." Ba Qi Lu could not help but interject, "Ye Hua Shi, since your goal is only to force Ni Lin He Ma into a tough battle so as to force out the secret curse on his body, why didn't you ask the Crown Prince for help? It should be easy for him to send people to surround Hidden Dragon Gate. "

Ye Hua Shi raised his head again, and looked Xue Yin Shu in the eye: "As Yue Xiao Zhe, I am only acting under the orders of Feather Emperor, and do not cause trouble for Empire, and have never believed that Empire could help us."

Luna Sightseeing Pavilion did not belong to this Empire, and so did Yue Xiao Zhe. They themselves knew this. Just like what Ye Hua Shi said, they would not bring trouble to the Empire. Sometimes, it was just wishful thinking on Yue Xiao Zhe's part.

A trace of a sorrowful smile emerged from the corner of Tang Luo's mouth, but there wasn't the slightest of emotion on his face. He looked at Ba Qi Lu and said calmly, "Isn't Lord Su Xing the same? Even if it's a life and death situation, he still hasn't turned to me for help. "

Ba Qi Lu immediately looked somewhat embarrassed as he mumbled, "It's still too troublesome to deal with you."

Xue Yin Shu did not pay any attention to him and said: "What is the ferro-fusiform, and what is your purpose in coming here, can you tell me now?"

At this point, whether it was in the public or the private, Ba Qi Lu believed that he should put aside his concerns. He raised his head, and said solemnly: "Give me a furnace room, five days later, I will give you a satisfactory answer."

"Alright."

At this moment, the starlight outside the window was gradually fading, and a corner of the sky had become white. After this turbulent night, the sun brought a new dawn. Tang Luo began to cough lightly. He was old after all, and was barely holding on. The matter was put to rest, and everyone should take a break.

"Your Highness." Ye Hua Shi called out anxiously, stopped, and said softly: "Where is your son? Shall I go and see her? "

Xue Yin Shu was quiet for a moment, no one knew what he was thinking. Tang Luo could not bear to do this, and said: "She and her son have always been good friends. "That year, she was the one who brought her son back to the streets of Yuyang City."

"I'll have someone take you there."

Ye Hua Shi thanked him and left the Jade Pivot Pavilion.

Following Tang Luo and Ba Qi Lu's departure, Xue Yin Shu dismissed the guards on duty. Very quickly, he was the only person left in the large discussion hall.

He was stunned for a moment, then suddenly stood up and hurried out of the room. However, he had only taken a few steps when he slowed down again. Finally, he walked back to his seat and slowly sat down.

He turned his head to his left, where there was a silk-rattan seat he had set aside for someone else. But she rarely sat there, and she was always leaning restlessly against the bookcase on the windowsill in the room, which often left him speechless. At this moment, the rising sun sprinkled a little bit of light gold onto the seat. He looked at it for a moment and suddenly laughed at himself.
