Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7858

Chapter 7774: Suspicious Person

“Princess, Little Princess, we’re behind you.” Li Tianming chuckled.

“Brother Tianming? Sister Ling’er?” Ji Qingyue’s eyes lit up when she saw Li Tianming, then she said, “You two hurry… um!”

Ji Ziling reacted quickly, covering his mouth, then smiled at Li Tianming and said, “You’re here to buy things too?”

“Yes, Princess.” Li Tianming smiled slightly.

“I thought you had left Fengxu.” Ji Ziling said with a smile.

“Left Fengxu? Why would I leave?” Li Tianming looked a little surprised.

“Oh, it’s nothing. It’s just that if you’re going to Gonghe Shentian, you’ll be further away from the Li Clan Star System where you grew up, and it won’t be convenient for you to come back. So I thought you went back.” Ji Ziling said with a natural smile.

“Haha, my whole world is right here beside me. The Li Clan Star System doesn’t really matter to me. I’m not a member of any royal family or a historically significant clan there. My feelings for them aren’t that deep.” Li Tianming said with a laugh.

“That’s true. After all, your situation is a bit special.” Ji Ziling nodded.

Ji Qingyue pointed to the bloodstains on Li Tianming’s clothes, somewhat surprised, and asked, “Brother Tianming, what happened to you?”

“Well…”

Li Tianming smiled and seemingly casually recounted his conversation with Emperor Qianfeng.

Both were surprised to learn of Li Tianming’s assassination attempt; they were unaware that Emperor Qianfeng had already sent people to carry it out.

After learning that Li Tianming had refused Emperor Qianfeng’s offer of protection, Ji Ziling and Ji Qingyue felt somewhat helpless, but also understanding.

“You’re just too sentimental. You don’t want to trouble anyone. If someone else encountered such a dangerous situation, they would definitely seek help immediately,” Ji Qingyue said, pointing at Li Tianming.

“That’s why I am who I am,” Li Tianming smiled slightly.

“Alright, we won’t disturb your conversation any longer. I should take Xiaoyue back to the palace,” Ji Ziling said, blinking.

“Hmm~ Sister, can we stay outside a little longer?” Ji Qingyue pleaded pitifully.

“No! Father said you can’t wander around outside too much these days.” Ji Ziling pointed a finger and said seriously.

“Fine!” Ji Qingyue stuck out her tongue.

After that, Li Tianming and Jiang Feiling parted ways with the two princesses.

During their stay, more people witnessed Li Tianming’s appearance in Fengxu.

At the same time, Yin Chen also brought news.

“If there’s something to suspect, then go for it!”

Li Tianming sneered and went to a corner before the other party arrived.

Jiang Feiling possessed Li Tianming’s body, and then, relying on the ethereal cosmic stars, both of their figures disappeared without a trace…

At the same time, several Illusion God cultivators quietly appeared in the Burning Heaven Universe Street.

They picked and chose from various stalls, seemingly wanting to buy some small items, but their eyes darted around.

“Shopkeeper, did the top scholar just come here to spend money?” One of the Illusion God cultivators looked up at the shop owner.

“He was just here, but he didn’t buy anything, just looked around, and he was with that Divine Ruins Clan wife!” The shop owner, a plump woman, said with a smile.

“Do you know his whereabouts? We have official business with him,” the Illusion God cultivator added.

“Ah? I only know he came, but I don’t know where he went…” the plump woman said, somewhat embarrassed.

The leading Illusion God cultivator gave a look to the person beside him, and the group immediately scattered to search the area.

Li Tianming’s hidden figure was actually right beside him!

Under the void of the cosmic stars, no one could detect Li Tianming’s presence.

While searching for Li Tianming, the Myriad Realms Heavenly Emperor was also searching throughout the Beacon Ruins.

After receiving a message that someone had witnessed Li Tianming, the Myriad Realms Heavenly Emperor immediately changed his appearance and went to the Burning Heaven Universe Street to search.

“Finally showing himself,” the Myriad Realms Heavenly Emperor said grimly.

However, just as he was chasing and searching for Li Tianming’s whereabouts,

suddenly, his communication star tower lit up.

He frowned, intending to ignore it, but upon closer inspection, he discovered it was a message from ‘Jingchen,’ the seventh son of the Myriad Realms Divine Treasury Army.

“What is it?” the Myriad Realms Emperor received the message, somewhat impatiently.

“Father, a patrol team from the Myriad Realms Divine Treasury Army has mysteriously disappeared, leaving no trace at the scene.” On the communication star tower, Jingchen reported directly.

“What? Missing?” the Myriad Realms Emperor frowned slightly.

“Yes.” Jingchen nodded.

The Myriad Realms Emperor pondered briefly, then said, “The Myriad Realms Divine Treasury Army is vast; some minor losses are insignificant. Just focus on the search and strengthen patrols. I have more important matters to attend to; there’s no need to report anything urgent.”

“Understood, Father.” Jingchen nodded.

The two then ended the communication.

Li Tianming’s appearance at the Beacon Ruins and the incident involving the Myriad Realms Divine Treasury Army occurred almost simultaneously.

The Myriad Realms Emperor paid no attention to anything other than Li Tianming.

Soon, Ji Ziling and Ji Qingyue returned to the imperial city.

In the courtyard of Lingyue Palace, the two sisters sat facing Emperor Qianfeng.

“You saw Li Tianming on the Burning Heaven Universe Street?” Emperor Qianfeng asked, somewhat surprised by their words.

“Yes, Father, he was with Miss Jiang, but we didn’t see Miss Weisheng,” Ji Ziling nodded.

“By the way, Father, he also survived an assassination attempt, it’s possible…” Ji Qingyue added anxiously.

“No need to say more, I already know about this, we’ve already sent word,” Emperor Qianfeng interrupted.

“They’re too despicable, too outrageous! They even dared to touch the top scholar! I think they’re provoking the majesty of the Republic of China!” Ji Qingyue said angrily.

“Since he refused our assistance, we can’t interfere. We can only let him figure it out himself. However, I estimate that if they reach a dead end, they’ll still come to us.” Emperor Qianfeng’s gaze was deep. He then asked, “How is he now?” “

His aura is somewhat weak; he’s probably seriously injured, but his core essence shouldn’t be damaged.” Ji Qingyue’s eyes showed a hint of reminiscence.

“That silly boy, we already said we could protect him, but he insisted on not causing us any trouble.” Emperor Qianfeng rubbed his temples, looking troubled.

Emperor Qianfeng knew in his heart that even if he knew Li Tianming was in Fengxu, it wouldn’t be appropriate to summon him.

Li Tianming had just resolved his troubles, and this was a sensitive time. If Emperor Qianfeng were to meet with him too readily, it might arouse suspicion.

However, in reality, neither Prince Yuan nor Emperor Qianfeng knew about the assassins they had dispatched.

Emperor Qianfeng was unaware that Li Tianming had been ambushed by two groups, nor did he know that Li Tianming had almost deduced the truth from the two groups’ actions.

After briefly observing the situation at Fengxu, Li Tianming chose to leave Fengxu using the Boundary Planet…
