Chapter 270 The White Lotus Saintess
The group stayed at Zuiyun Residence for quite some time, and Lin Fei felt as if he were sitting on pins and needles, as if each day was an eternity.
Looking at Yuan Daotong standing calmly to the side, seemingly lost in thought, Lin Fei felt even more furious. He had invited this guy along precisely to defuse his awkward situation at a crucial moment, allowing him to slip away unnoticed. Who knew that once they arrived at Zuiyun Residence, this guy would act like a clay idol, refusing to utter a single word.
Lin Fei was secretly annoyed. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, he gently pushed Yuan Daotong.
Pushed by Lin Fei, Yuan Daotong, who seemed to be in a meditative state, finally came to his senses.
Yuan Daotong understood Lin Fei's meaning, but to avoid offending anyone, he had been pretending not to know anything. Now that Lin Fei had given him such a clear hint, he couldn't continue to play dumb.
Yuan Daotong coughed lightly, stood up, and said to Lin Fei, "Your Highness, I suddenly remembered that there are still a few important matters in the palace that require your personal attention. I think it would be better to stop here for today and arrange accommodations for the ladies first?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw three sharp, piercing gazes directed at him, which made Yuan Daotong's scalp tingle with fear.
Lin Fei, however, seemed to have been granted a pardon and quickly said, "In that case, let's call it a day! Princess Pingyang, Sister Ji, Senior Sister, I'll send someone to settle you in first, and we can talk about anything else another day!"
Although the three of them clearly looked unwilling, Lin Fei had already said so much, so they had no choice but to nod and agree.
Princess Pingyang and Ji Lianxing were naturally arranged to stay in the palace first; after all, the palace was so large that there was no shortage of accommodation for the two of them. As for Senior Sister Minglan, Lin Fei originally wanted to arrange for her to stay with Ming Tong. However, under her rather resentful gaze, Lin Fei finally arranged for her to stay in the palace as well.
After leaving Zuiyun Residence, Lin Fei led the group towards the palace. Firstly, to arrange accommodations for the three women, and secondly, because what Yuan Daotong had said wasn't entirely false. With the enthronement ceremony drawing ever closer, there were indeed many matters in the palace that required his personal attention.
As the group approached the palace gates, many white petals suddenly drifted down from the sky.
Lin Fei could clearly sense that these petals were not ordinary petals, because they contained a considerable amount of spiritual energy, and even a faint trace of killing intent. Although the killing intent was faint, it did not escape Lin Fei's notice.
Lin Fei frowned – in the capital city, someone dared to so openly unleash murderous intent in front of him, completely disregarding him, the emperor of Southern Tang!
Yuan Daotong also walked to Lin Fei's side, no longer the composed old man he had been before, but with a solemn expression, he said, "Your Highness, be careful, I'm afraid the visitors are not friendly."
"It's alright." Lin Fei waved his hand and said, "I want to see who has such audacity!"
At this moment, Ji Lianxing sighed and said, "They're coming for me. That bitch came fast!"
Lin Fei then realized that it was Ji Lianxing's enemy. It seemed that Ji Lianxing had hidden in his palace to avoid this enemy.
Ji Lianxing raised her head and said to the sky, "You wretch, now that you've arrived, show yourself! Why hide and play tricks?"
As soon as Ji Lianxing finished speaking, a soft laugh came from the void: "Sister Ji, you've made us search quite a bit, I didn't expect you to have hidden in the Southern Tang Imperial Palace!"
As soon as the words were spoken, a portal of light suddenly appeared in mid-air, and a woman as beautiful as a celestial being slowly walked out of it—she was dressed in a long white gauze dress and had a pair of jade-like feet, just like a fairy in a painting.
This woman possessed an ethereal and otherworldly aura; even the most beautiful woman would pale in comparison to her grace.
Lin Fei frowned, feeling as if he had sensed the woman's aura somewhere before. After a while, he finally remembered where he had felt a similar aura.
"The White Lotus Sect!" Lin Fei was certain that the aura emanating from this woman was almost certainly the same as that of the White Lotus Saintess he had met before.
The feud between Feihua Palace and the White Lotus Sect has been going on for quite some time. It's unclear how Ji Lianxing offended the White Lotus Sect, but she was chased all the way to the palace.
Upon seeing the White Lotus Sect woman, Ji Lianxing coldly sneered, "You bitch, do you really think I'm afraid of you?"
"If you're not afraid of me, why did you hide in the Southern Tang palace?" the woman chuckled softly. "It's just to use the palace's dragon energy to shield yourself from my pursuit."
She stretched out her slender hand and said to Ji Lianxing, "Sister Ji, now that the Eight Paths are under the leadership of the Demon Master, we are united in our actions and bound by common interests. I don't want to fight with you. Hand over the sacred treasure of my sect, and I will let it go."
"What sacred treasure? I don't understand what you're talking about!" Ji Lianxing pretended to be stupid, while transmitting her voice to Lin Fei, "Good brother, join your sister in dealing with this scumbag from the White Lotus Sect, and your sister will definitely reward you handsomely!"
Even a fool like Lin Fei could see that Ji Lianxing must have taken some treasure from the White Lotus Sect, which was why the sect was chasing after her. However, the affairs of the Eight Evil Paths were none of Lin Fei's concern. On the contrary, he hoped that the internal strife within the Eight Evil Paths would be as fierce as possible. If they were truly united, that would be a real headache for Lin Fei.
Lin Fei pondered for a moment. If the White Lotus Sect really had any treasures, falling into Ji Lianxing's hands would definitely not be a bad thing for him. So he transmitted his voice to Ji Lianxing and said, "Alright, then I will go with my sister to deal with this person."
Having received Lin Fei's telepathic message, Ji Lianxing felt even more confident and directly said to the woman in front of her, "Little girl, don't think that just because you've become the new Holy Maiden of the White Lotus Sect, you can act with impunity. In front of me, your qualifications are nothing! If you really think I've taken some sacred artifact from your sect, then come and take it with your own abilities!"
The angelic woman sighed softly: "Since you still deny it now, sister, then don't blame me for being ungrateful and refusing to show any brotherly affection!"
As she spoke, a powerful spiritual energy surged from the woman's body, and her cultivation level had actually reached the realm of Seven Apertures Exquisite.
No wonder even someone like Ji Lianxing was forced to seek refuge in the palace; it turns out her adversary was a master who had opened all seven acupoints. Among all the masters of the acupoint realm in the world today, she was second only to top masters like Lin Fei, who had opened the gates of heaven and earth.
