C82 Deal

Returning to the Xuan Ye Imperial Palace, Luo Chen's injuries had improved, but Shangguan Wan did not live a carefree life.

Because she still needed to find the Aral Dawn Wood.

When Nangong Yu saw how much trouble she had to put in, he couldn't bear to do so.

Imperial study.

"Did the emperor come to find this humble subject to investigate the matter regarding the Aral Dawn Wood?" Qin Fei's body was still very weak. It was his body that was injured by Luo Chen, but his heart.

It was hard to cure him, especially since his disciple had given it back to him.

Qi He, is it all Master's fault, or are you wrong? Could it be that you won't stop even if you're injured by that person?

"The Imperial Advisor knows everything. Please answer." In the past, even though Qin Fei was a cold and aloof person, he wouldn't cause a ruckus in the harem. But now, for the sake of Qi He's matter, he actually went to find Luo Chen to settle the score, and even involved Shangguan Wan. However, seeing that there were losses on all sides, he didn't care anymore and pretended that nothing had happened, maintaining his calm on the surface.

Qin Fei closed his eyes, "To tell you the truth, this humble subject does not know where the Aral Dawn Tree is. That's an ancient divine object, and its traces are hard to find. "

"Does the Imperial Advisor really not know?" Nangong Yu patiently asked.

He believed that Qin Fei was no mediocre person. If he was mediocre, he wouldn't have been conferred the title of State Grandmaster.

The only problem was that the current State Grandmaster was in a foul mood.

"Seriously." Qin Yue's answer was without any trace of the attitude he should have towards a Sovereign King.

Nangong Yu stood with his hands behind his back. A cold light appeared in his eyes as he calmly spoke, "Qin Fei, you really didn't know?"

The Emperor repeated the question, calling out his name for the first time.

Qin Fei had always been unfazed by humiliation and was not afraid of any threats.

"This humble subject does not know." A very positive answer.

As a sovereign, facing his disobedient subjects, he could only put down all of his worries to clear his mind.

"Someone come!" "If the Imperial Advisor goes on a rampage, let's beat him up!" Originally, when he had injured Shangguan Wan last time and he had not pursued the matter, he had endured in silence. But now, he realized that sometimes, the tolerance of looking at the bigger picture was to indulge in his indulgence.

He couldn't bear it any longer.

Just as he was about to step forward and take Qin Fei, he suddenly smiled contemptuously and raised his hand to signal the guards to stop. "Your Majesty, this humble subject might as well make a deal with you."

His provocative tone was like a joke, but Nangong Yu knew that Qin Fei never made fun of his.

"Trade?" Nangong Yu's interest was piqued.

"This humble subject can tell you the whereabouts of the Aral Dawn Wood, but you must agree to one of my conditions."

In this world, how many people were qualified to negotiate terms with the emperor? With the exception of Shangguan Wan, he was probably the only one.

The first thing that came to Nangong Yu's mind was Qi He, "You're not asking me to give you Qi He?"

Thinking back to everything that had happened in the past, wasn't Qin Fei doing it for the sake of Qi He?

Wei and that silly girl were really lucky to be able to obtain the love of the Imperial Advisor.

Qin Fei was in his thirties and had yet to get married. It was likely because of his only disciple that he had such a firm moral integrity.

Qin Fei was stunned for a moment. Even the Emperor could tell, but that silly girl couldn't see it clearly. She thought he had been harming her.

However, nothing he said now was of any use. From the moment Qi He had stabbed him in the back with his sword, he had completely given up.

The only person that could stir his emotions was that arrogant little Daoist.

"This humble subject only wants Luo Chen to leave the palace and disappear from the capital." This was the idea he had in mind.

The emperor agreed without the slightest hesitation. The importance of the Aral Dawn Wood to Shangguan Wan had decided how quickly Nangong Yu would make this decision.

Actually, there was another reason. If Luo Chen stayed in the palace for one day, then the palace would no longer be at peace. Although Wei He had already closed his doors and thought for a while, it was unknown when he would 'make a comeback'.

If Luo Chen stayed, he would only be a disaster.

Just like this, the Emperor sent Qin Fei away and immediately ordered Little Lin, "Send Luo Chen out of the palace and send me a message that he is not allowed to step foot in the Imperial City. Remember, this matter is temporarily kept secret and cannot be revealed to Princess Qi or else, I will ask you."

Little Lin hurriedly nodded. "Your majesty, don't worry. Your servant will do it right away!"

After saying that, he ran off like a wisp of smoke.

Although Lin Zi sometimes had a glib tongue, but he always put his heart into the things that he was instructed to do.

When Shangguan Wan heard about the deal between Nangong Yu and Qin Fei, she was unexpectedly calm.

According to Nangong Yu's thoughts, she could only blame himself for 'sacrificing' Luochen, even more so, for not negotiating with the 'evil' Imperial Advisor; he could only blame himself for 'sacrificing' Luo Chen.

But she didn't react at all. She simply answered, "Yes."

"What's wrong?" Nangong Yu was very curious. A woman's heart is like the bottom of the sea. However, it was hard to guess this woman's thoughts.

Shangguan Wan raised her head, looking at the bright moon in the dark curtain, and said lightly, "That's good too, it's time to end this all. Just pretend that he's never been to the palace in the future."

If Luo Chen hadn't met with Qi He, it would have been impossible for the two of them to have any feelings for each other. In the end, Qin Fei wouldn't have come to settle the score, and Wei He wouldn't have had to stab his master in order to avenge his beloved.

Everything would never happen.

Luo Chen was still the Taoist who was full of hope and believed that he could defeat demons; Wei He was still the unscrupulous princess who loved dogs, meddling in other people's affairs; and Qin Yue was still the Imperial Advisor who was as cold as ice and unfettered by the secular world.

He hoped that with the departure of Luo Chen, everything would return to its original point.

"This is also my intention."

Shangguan Wan turned her head and asked seriously, "Will Qin Fei's words be trusted?"

She didn't know Qin Fei very well. He had a charming face, but no one could understand the things he was thinking about.

Even the fact that he had fallen in love with his disciple was something that she could come up with after careful analysis.

"In my opinion, we can give it a try. After all, he's shrinking the scope right now."

"Alright, I'll trust him this once." Shangguan Wan answered frankly.

Qin Fei calculated that the Aral Dawn Wood might be in the royal study. Although the imperial study was not small and there was a lot of wood, it was much lighter compared to fishing for needles in the vast palace.

Nangong Yu thought of another matter and said, "I wonder how Jing Li is doing."

Chu Jing had left Song Mian, but so far, there had been no news of him. As such, he was a bit worried that something might have happened to him.

"Don't worry Your Majesty, he is a great general after all, and his martial arts are not bad, so there shouldn't be any problems. Let's wait for another ten days or half a month, if there's still no news, then send someone to look for him."

"I'll do as the empress says."

Because of his beloved wife's short words, Nangong Yu felt much more at ease with Chu Jingli.
