I am a stubborn stone, but I can mend the sky!

Chapter 23 Secret Hands
Youdu Imperial City, Bingquan Palace.

In the cold and elegant palace, He Zhong, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, was playing chess with an indifferent woman in white.

"His Royal Highness is superb at chess, He is willing to bow down!"

The black chess on the chessboard obviously has no power to recover, so He Zhong simply abandons his pieces and admits defeat, and serves tea and cows.

Although the body cultivators are also immortal cultivators, their tempers are mostly similar to those of warriors. Brain-wrenching things like playing chess are not their forte in the first place.

If the woman sitting opposite was Ji Bingye, Princess Leyang, the ninth younger sister of King Youdu, He Dashangshu would have thrown up his sleeves and left long ago.

After the maid cleaned up the chessboard, made tea for the two of them and stepped back, Ji Bingye said leisurely:

"Lord He is an important minister in Youdu. As long as you remain impartial, everyone will respect you, so why get involved in the dispute between us and other women?"

Putting down the teacup casually, He Zhong shook his head and said:
"He has no intention of participating in the affairs of your Highnesses, but I like that kid Li Si. He may be able to inherit the prison-suppressing profound art in the future, so naturally he has to take care of him."

He Dashangshu didn't want to go around in circles, but he couldn't guess the "soul-eating demon body", so he had to force Li Si to endorse it in the name of being pleasing to the eye.

"Since Li Si is suitable for prison-suppressing profound arts, and Mr. He has a good impression of him, it's better to take him under the door. I think sister Xiangcheng will not refuse this matter." Ji Bingye said without changing his expression.

A junior in the Qi refining period is not worth bothering at all, as long as the other party has separated from Ji Ziye, she can naturally forgive him.

"Twisted melons are not sweet. Since Li Si has worshiped Princess Xiangcheng as his teacher, if I insist on coming over, I'm afraid he will feel resentful, wrong, wrong." He Zhong said without hesitation.

Of course he really wanted to take in a promising apprentice, but as Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, his vicious vision was far beyond comparison.

Even with just a few words, He Zhong can roughly judge Li Si's character.

This is a deep-minded kid, obviously unwilling to leave Ji Ziye's side, I may be able to force him for a while, but the separation between master and apprentice will cause big trouble sooner or later.

Therefore, He Dashangshu would rather plant good causes as an elder, and never had the idea of ​​forcibly accepting disciples.

However, his unclear attitude made Ji Bingye even more jealous, and even suspected that this old guy had already chosen a camp before he came forward to protect a junior in the Qi refining period.

While the two were talking in silence, a middle-aged maid from Bingquan Palace came over quietly and presented a jade slip to Ji Bingye.

The soul lamp of number one hundred and nine went out?How can this be!

To deal with a kid who has just stepped into the mid-stage of Qi refining, with No. [-]'s assassination experience, even if he can't find a suitable opportunity, he shouldn't be counter-killed by the opponent.

Ji Bingye frowned slightly, the one-time jade slip in her hand had already turned into fine jade powder, falling from between her fingers to the ground.

Seeing this situation, He Zhong simply got up and said: "Since His Highness has something to do, He will leave first!"

Then he didn't care about Ji Bingye's pale face, and walked out of the hall with his head held high.

Watching He Zhong's tall figure disappear, Ji Bingye slammed the table and said with a frosty face:
"Send me to find out what's going on with No. [-], and what happened to Ji Ziye's new apprentice."

She doesn't care about an acquired killer, but Ji Bingye absolutely doesn't want to make her old opponent laugh at her. Even if the plan really fails, she needs to know the specific reason.

"Yes, Your Highness, No. 370 No. [-] is also in that team, and his soul lamp is still on. We will know the details when he returns." The middle-aged maid said without changing her expression.

Hearing this, Ji Bingye nodded slightly, waved his hand and sent the people out of the hall.

If it wasn't for the Minister of Criminal Affairs, a mere Li Si wouldn't be worth worrying about.

The outcome between her and Ji Ziye is ultimately determined by the strength of both parties. All external forces are just icing on the cake, and the sooner the pill is broken, the better it will be.

……

Li Si, who knew nothing about the affairs in the palace, rushed back to Youdu City overnight. They killed fifty or sixty miscellaneous monsters along the way, and they had already exceeded the task.

And after the battle of Wuying Mountain, his physical strength has also reached the limit of foundation building physical training.

At this time, instead of continuing to strengthen, it is better to go back and get used to it. The real combat power is not a simple data superposition.

The most important thing is that although Li Si didn't want to make a big fuss about the assassination, he must inform his master in detail, and the sooner the better.

Otherwise, if Ji Ziye felt that her apprentice was a scumbag with an unstable stand, then the treatment in the future would definitely drop significantly.

It's a pity that when he finished the task and returned to Ziling Palace, he learned that Ji Ziye had suddenly retreated yesterday, and he didn't know when he would come out.

In desperation, Li Si had no choice but to leave a handwritten letter, describing the matter in detail, and then quickly left the imperial city.

Although Ziling Palace is good, it is not his territory after all, and Ji Ziye didn't arrange a place for him, so it's not convenient to stay there, and it's easy to get people's eyes.

It's a pity that this lonely idea lasted for less than two hours, and Li Si regretted it a little.

"Captain, you should go out and rent a house. The dormitory of the people in black is like this. There are four people in one room. No one is allowed to specialize."

Just after handing in the task, Li Si's team can rest for half a month, but every day someone has to go to the camp to take turns to be on duty. Once there is an emergency task, the team members can be notified in time.

Today was the first day, and the team member who stayed behind in the camp happened to be Zhu Hao, the old man in black.

When he heard that Li Si planned to live in a collective dormitory, Zhu Hao persuaded him to give up this idea without hesitation.

"Four people in a dormitory are basically not on the same team, and no one will show face."

"At that time, you meditate and practice Qi, and he practices martial arts nearby. After you practice martial arts, he thinks you are noisy when he sleeps. When you sleep, he chats with others..."

"What's more troublesome is that you can't clean up people yet."

"Otherwise they will report to the dormitory supervisor. Even if you are a noble captain, you will not be directly punished, but your words are terrible. A stigma of bullying your colleagues will definitely fall on you."

Hearing what Zhu Hao said, Li Si immediately gave up the idea of ​​living in a dormitory.

Before crossing, he also lived in the school when he was in school, and he knew how many bad things were going on here.

When I was a student, there were still restrictions from teachers, parents, and school rules, so we wouldn't make things too embarrassing for each other.

But more than 20% of the people in black are warriors, and they are all young people in their [-]s. In this case, even if there is discipline, it may be difficult to suppress a group of young people who are full of vigor.

Compared with the strict control of the regular army, the internal restraint of the people in black is really not strong.

As long as you don't touch those few iron rules, trivial things like conflicts in the dormitory, even if they get into trouble, it will be difficult to have a result.

So Li Si, who figured out the joints inside, put out the idea of ​​living in a dormitory.
