Chapter 1286 Low-key
"And will you bring me back to life?"
Upon hearing Xiao Ce's words, Lin Can was filled with surprise and admiration, and immediately knelt down to kowtow...
Xiao Ce wanted to explain, but after hesitating for a moment, he nodded: "I guess so, you can understand it that way... Next, Director Mi will give you a check-up, so please cooperate... Besides, you're now part of my special guard... Until all this, you've been listening to Director Mi?"
Lin Can naturally nodded without hesitation at what Xiao Ce, this god, said...
Although he still felt that what he was seeing was unreal...
Xiao Ce asked Lin Can, "Do you know Qi Lin? Or Han Da?"
Lin Can gave an awkward smile and said to Xiao Ce, "Master Xiao, who are those people you're talking about...?"
Lin Can's reaction exceeded Xiao Ce's expectations.
Clearly, the side effects were more numerous than he had anticipated.
Xiao Ce said to Lin Can, "Director Mi will assign you tasks later... Just follow Director Mi's instructions..."
Lin Can nodded after hearing Xiao Ce's words.
Just then, Xiao Ce looked at Director Mi on the side.
After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Director Mi was clearly stunned.
He then replied, "Yes, Your Highness..."
Hearing what Director Mi said and seeing his expression, Xiao Ce smiled and said, "Director Mi, what's with that expression? Do you have a problem with it? Are you unwilling?"
Director Mi nodded to Xiao Ce, then said, "Of course it's not that I'm unwilling... of course I'm willing..."
Xiao Ce said to Director Zhao Mi, "Alright, since you're willing, then that's fine. Do you have any concerns?"
Director Mi said to Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, it's just that you don't doubt me? I really didn't lie to you... The information I gave you has always been the same; there must have been a problem during the translation..."
Xiao Ce saw Director Mi's expression, smiled, and then said, "I know that, and I definitely believe you..."
After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Director Mi looked embarrassed and said to him, "However, I've also heard about those Mr. Night Owls. I believe they wouldn't betray you... I think there must be some misunderstanding..."
Hearing what Director Mi said, Xiao Ce was certain...
This fanboy must not be acting, because you can't fake something like this...
Xiao Ce smiled and nodded at Director Mi.
"Alright, Director Mi, don't worry. I have my own plans..."
After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Director Mi smiled and nodded...
Xiao Ce smiled at Director Mi and said, "Alright, just go and do what you're supposed to do..."
After listening to Xiao Ce's words, Director Mi nodded heavily.
Xiao Ce continued, asking Director Zhao Mi, "Is there anyone following up?"
Director Mi said to Xiao Ce with great certainty, "Yes, Your Highness, there are quite a few people queuing up one after another..."
Xiao Ce nodded, saying nothing more, but patted Director Mi on the shoulder and said, "Thank you for your hard work..."
After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Director Mi nodded, waved his hand, and then said, "Your Highness, this is all as it should be..."
Xiao Ce didn't waste any words and left directly.
After leaving the submarine, Yin Pan'er asked Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, didn't you feel something was off over there... If those mannequins can be controlled, aren't we just doing all the work for them?"
Xiao Ce said to Yin Pan'er, "We're using a counter-strategy... and I think it'll be fine in the short term..."
"Besides, those people were already dying. They were going to die anyway... The worst outcome was death... Being able to keep them alive is a way of helping them..."
After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Yin Pan'er smiled and then said, "Your Highness, what you said is indeed true... but... actually, when I looked at Lin Can just now, do you think he is still the same person who has lost most of his memories?"
Upon hearing Yin Pan'er's words, Xiao Ce smiled, raised an eyebrow, and then said, "This matter has already exceeded our expectations. We can't worry about it anymore. We've already spoken to them... Besides, these people can at least be used by me. At least Creation One, Two, and Three are quite useful..."
Yin Pan'er nodded after hearing Xiao Ce's words.
He then turned to Xiao Ce and said, "Your Highness, won't they discover your existence in Lingxu? And thus..."
Xiao Ce said to Yin Pan'er, "They want to use me, partly because my body is different in some way... and partly because... they might be after Ling Xu. In fact, they knew about Ling Xu's existence before I did... they even sent Master Mi and his men there..."
"After all that, Lingxu completely ignored them... They were utterly helpless against Lingxu... In the end, I was the one who activated Lingxu... So, they should all know about this matter... It's alright..."
Seeing Xiao Ce's response, Yin Pan'er nodded and then said nothing more...
"Then, Your Highness, what shall we do next..."
Xiao Ce said to Yin Pan'er, "No rush... how about we go on a trip together?"
Upon hearing Xiao Ce's words, Yin Pan'er looked surprised and asked in astonishment, "Tourism...?"
Xiao Ce smiled at Yin Pan'er and said, "That's right, travel...you haven't been to the Western Regions yet, have you?"
After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Yin Pan'er nodded: "That's right, Your Highness. When you went to conquer the Western Regions, I was still in the Northern Desert, helping you manage it... Then many upheavals occurred... so it was delayed... I really didn't go..."
After saying that, Yin Pan'er said with some surprise and astonishment, "Your Highness, you're going to the Western Regions at this crucial moment? You're not joking, are you...?"
After hearing Yin Pan'er's words, Xiao Ce smiled and then smiled at Yin Pan'er, saying, "What, do I look like I'm joking?"
Yin Pan'er said, "Really going? But this place..."
Upon hearing Yin Pan'er's words, Xiao Ce quickly said, "You see, actually, in many things... actually, I've been played by them all along..."
Yin Pan'er was even more puzzled when she heard Xiao Ce say that.
Xiao Ce then said to Yin Pan'er, "Actually, the people who should be nervous and worried about these things are them, not me..."
"So, before, I was the one who wasn't worried, but the eunuchs were..."
Upon hearing Xiao Ce's words, Yin Pan'er was both amused and exasperated, saying, "So, are you the emperor... or a eunuch...?"
After hearing Yin Pan'er's words, Xiao Ce smiled and then said, "Of course, a eunuch..."
Yin Pan'er chuckled and looked at Xiao Ce, saying, "So you mean that the emperor is the so-called mastermind behind everything?"
Yin Pan'er still vaguely avoided revealing the name...
Xiao Ce smiled and then said, "That's right... including this Hidden Dragon Tomb, they are even more anxious than I am... and do you remember what Xiao Dingshan told me about the Heavenly Yin Star Chart?"
Upon hearing Xiao Ce's words, Yin Pan'er was first taken aback, then kept saying to Xiao Ce, "That's right... Actually, I also had my doubts before..."
After hearing Yin Pan'er's words, Xiao Ce said with some surprise, "Oh? You also have some doubts?"
Yin Pan'er smiled and nodded at Xiao Ce, then said, "Not bad..."
Before Xiao Ce could ask any further questions, Yin Pan'er spoke up, saying, "Your Highness, didn't we say before that it was a royal secret? How could he know it? After all, according to Xiao Dingshan, only the heir to the throne should know it..."
Xiao Ce smiled when he heard Yin Pan'er say that, and then nodded: "That's right, that's indeed the case... Your analysis makes a lot of sense... Why didn't you say the same thing to me before?"
Yin Pan'er said to Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, how could I have imagined things would happen so far in the future... Besides, I didn't see any problems back then... I only expressed my doubts... Your Highness, you are such a cautious person... Didn't you notice anything?"
As Xiao Ce spoke, he smiled at Yin Pan'er and said, "I have indeed discovered it... However, I think my previous adoptive father wasn't very clever, so it's possible that Xiao Dingshan discovered it... I didn't think much of it before... But looking back now, it's really full of loopholes..."
"But it doesn't matter..."
Looking at Xiao Ce, Yin Pan'er smiled and said, "Your Highness, your personality is truly so varied. Sometimes you're open, sometimes tense... sometimes you seem to see through everything, making me feel like you're not a human being... and sometimes you're so worried, making me feel like you're a human being again..."
Xiao Ce smiled at Yin Pan'er, then said to her, "Hearing you say that, it feels like you're insulting me?"
Yin Pan'er smiled and waved her hand at Xiao Ce, saying, "No, it's just my feeling... I think you've actually been wanting to make changes too..."
Xiao Ce nodded to Yin Pan'er, then said, "That's right. Besides, the situation is already quite clear... I have no choice but to make changes... Otherwise, they'll play me to death... Obviously, now is not the time for us to make a move..."
Yin Pan'er nodded after hearing Xiao Ce's words.
Then he turned to Xiao Ce and said, "Your Highness... shall we go sightseeing next?"
Xiao Ce smiled and nodded at Yin Pan'er: "That's right, let's go on a trip..."
After saying this, Xiao Ce gave Qi Lin some instructions and then left.
They once again traveled by car back to Kyoto, which they now call the Dragon Capital.
However, Xiao Ce still preferred to call it Kyoto.
Upon arriving at Yin Weiyong's residence, they saw Xiao Ce and Yin Pan'er returning this time.
Yin Weiyong was somewhat surprised: "Your Highness, why did you come back in such a hurry... Do you have any news from your side?"
Xiao Ce shook his head at Yin Weiyong and then said, "Nothing was gained... communication was cut off... the information they obtained was of no practical use..."
Yin Weiyong nodded: "However, Your Highness, that Scarface Wolf approached us the next day and said... he's willing to accept our surrender..."
After hearing Yin Weiyong's words, Xiao Ce smiled and nodded.
Looking at Xiao Ce's expression, Yin Weiyong said to him, "Your Highness, you don't seem surprised at all?"
Xiao Ce smiled at Yin Weiyong and then said, "That's right, it's not surprising at all... After all, the one they worship is a false god, while he has seen my methods as the true god. With the balance of power shifting... he should be able to discern the final outcome..."
After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Yin Weiyong nodded: "Not bad..."
Then, Yin Weiyong said to Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, is there anything you wish to instruct us to do upon your return this time?"
Xiao Ce smiled at Yin Weiyong and then said, "Not bad..."
Yin Weiyong said to Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, what do you say..."
Xiao Ce said to Yin Weiyong, "Don't be so nervous. I'm just mentioning that we might be going to the Western Regions in the near future..."
Yin Weiyong was somewhat surprised and immediately asked nervously, "Your Highness, has something happened in the Western Regions?"
Xiao Ce smiled at Yin Weiyong, then waved his hand and said, "Of course not...nothing happened! I just wanted to go and check..."
When Yin Weiyong saw Xiao Ce say this, he was somewhat surprised and said to Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, that's good... But why did you suddenly want to go to the Western Regions?"
Xiao Ce said to Yin Weiyong, "There's still no result on the Qianlong Tomb side! Besides, things here are almost settled... It's not like there's a vacuum... I'll go check on the Western Regions..."
Yin Weiyong nodded: "Alright, Your Highness, I'll arrange it for you right away..."
Xiao Ce waved his hand and said to Yin Weiyong, "Alright, no need for special arrangements. You know... if you make arrangements... it will always involve a lot of trouble. I'm just reminding him of that..."
Upon hearing Xiao Ce's words, Yin Weiyong's expression became even more embarrassed...
Seeing this, Xiao Ce said to Yin Weiyong, "Father-in-law, don't overthink it. I didn't mean anything by it... I'm not blaming you... You know I like freedom... If you make arrangements for me, I'll be restricted... So, let's keep a low profile."
