From morning to night on the first day, Yu Ling stayed in the room looking at the jade slips, because Nan Yanhe told him that the man named Wang Anyuan was very busy. He was pulled over by Hai Minggong's people in the morning, and was dragged over by Shang at noon.

Duke Yun took him away, and in the afternoon he was invited by Lord Tianshang, and again in the evening...

But what is very strange is that Wang Anyuan did not give a reply immediately, as if he was waiting for a price. Yu Chen thought this was a very dangerous behavior, because those princes did not have that much patience.

If they don't get a response, they will probably kidnap someone directly. There is a precedent for this.

The royal family finally stopped Wang Anyuan late at night on the first day and sent him an invitation letter. Of course, the content in it had nothing to do with the invitation. It was Yu Ling who asked them to help write a sentence: Shuo, is it you?

?

Originally, Yu Ling didn't have high hopes, but someone from the royal family came back and told him that after Wang Anyuan saw the letter, he immediately wanted to come to the palace to see him, but the royal family dissuaded him from going back.

After all, the princes' spies were everywhere. If they discovered that Wang Anyuan went straight to the palace, he would definitely be intercepted and killed before he could reach the halfway point.

So the royal family asked Wang Anyuan to wait at the place where the lantern festival was held at Xu o'clock the next night, pretending that he was just there for fun, so as not to appear too out of the blue.

Although Yu Chen thought this location was inappropriate because the lantern festival was a mixed bag of fish and dragons, providing the best assassination place for assassins, Yu Ling didn't mind fishing.

In the end, Nan Yanhe could only find the most trusted master Zhiwei and let him fish with Yu Ling. The latter was very dissatisfied with Yu Ling's insistence on venturing out, but Nan Yanhe could only give him the order.

accept.

Waiting until the evening of the next day, Yu Ling adjusted her state to its peak in advance, and then went out refreshed. She happened to see a few people in Junlou passing by in the distance, talking and laughing.

"Wen Wei, where are you going?" Jun Lou waved his hand and greeted him.

"I have something to do with Your Majesty." Yu Ling mumbled casually.

"Oh, we are going to the lantern festival. Do we need to bring you anything?" Jun Lou asked again.

"No, thank you."

The two parties briefly exchanged a few words, and Yu Ling was about to turn around and leave when she suddenly found a gaze fixed on her.

He turned around and saw a thin young man looking at him without blinking and saying in a cold tone: "Wen Wei, there are still two rounds left. Don't embarrass the royal family."

Bian Qifeng couldn't help but twitch the corners of his lips: "I mean, Dai Sheng, you are the one who is embarrassed, right? Wen Wei is already a god-level boss, I guess everything will depend on him, so don't you think it's embarrassing for you to be so pretentious..."

"Ahem, just say a few words. It's rare that Dai Sheng is willing to go out. We have so many enemies, do we still have to fight among ourselves?" Junlou hurriedly smoothed things over.

Dai Sheng snorted coldly: "Since some people don't welcome me, then you can go your own way and I will go alone."

After saying that, he didn't give Junlou a chance to stay, and turned straight through the corridor.

"It's a good time to leave. Out of sight and out of mind." Bian Qifeng said unhappily.

Junlou could only smile bitterly.

Yu Ling glanced thoughtfully at the corner where Dai Sheng disappeared, and then said goodbye to the others in Junlou.

When they arrived at the gate of the palace, Master Zhiwei had been waiting for a long time. He showed his face for a moment, and then disappeared out of thin air in a wave of water-like waves, and could not be found no matter how hard he looked with the naked eye.

Yu Ling also changed her face by the way, pretending to be a guard who was out on business. When he arrived at a remote street corner, he transformed again into an unremarkable middle-aged man.

After doing this a few times, all those who were following him were thrown away. Yu Ling simply blended into the crowd of people at the lantern festival. People here were wearing all kinds of strange masks. Yu Ling also bought one and continued her leisurely tour.

Go to the place where you can guess the riddle.

In the distance, a field of lanterns spread out like stars, and the dazzling colors dyed the night like day. The light reflected on the masks of pedestrians, reflecting weird and fantastic colors, as if they had traveled to a magical world.

It was not yet Xu hour, and a man wearing a fox mask was already standing under the lantern. He looked around from time to time, obviously not thinking about guessing the riddle at all.

Yu Ling walked straight towards the man. When he was five meters away, Wang Anyuan had already noticed Yu Ling, and his eyes under the mask couldn't help but reveal a look of vigilance and doubt.

Yu Ling got straight to the point and said: "You are not Shuo, but why do you have this name?"

Wang Anyuan asked back: "Not many people know the name of our benefactor, and even fewer people call him that directly. You must be Yu Ling?"

Hearing this, Yu Ling finally breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't expect that he had been trying so hard to find out the news and didn't know Shuo's whereabouts, but when he was about to give up, he reestablished contact by chance.

"It's me. Where is he? Has he also come to Nanhuang Star?" Yu Ling continued to ask.

"My benefactor... his situation is a bit complicated. There are Lone Star spies all over Southern Phoenix. It's too dangerous and he can't come. But he said there should be many old friends scattered in the south, so he asked me to join the spiritual formation.

If you use this name at exchange meetings, people who know him will naturally contact him." Wang Anyuan explained.

No wonder I couldn't get any news about Shuo through Lone Star's channels. It turns out that he was specifically avoiding Lone Star...

Yu Ling's thoughts turned quickly: "Then now he..."

"In Mebaixing, that is also my hometown. It was there that I met my benefactor." Wang Anyuan said.

Mejiro Star? It is a very remote and desolate planet. It is at the very edge of the southern human territory. From time to time, chaotic creatures cross the boundary and invade. When Nan Yingtan went to the front line in person, it was on Mejiro Star that he was attacked by the princes and people from the Fire Refining Sect.

After plotting against him, he was imprisoned in the Abyss of Samsara for more than a hundred years.

The Mejiro Star, the Barbarian Star, and the Yutong Star are the horns of each other. They are the main battlefield to resist the invasion of chaotic creatures. The princes' armies take turns to garrison. Eighty percent of the local residents are soldiers, and another 2%

Ten ordinary residents also have to take on the responsibilities of logistics personnel.

To people living in a peaceful world, those three planets are like purgatory.

Yu Ling remembered what Yu Chen told him about Xu Yanting's comments on Wang Anyuan's formation: Even though it was a phantom formation, it was enough to kill people, but it was sharp enough but left no way out, which was too extreme.

But now that I think about the environment in which Wang Anyuan grew up, it seems understandable.

"Then what was your original name?" Yu Ling suddenly realized that the other party should have another name.

"My benefactor asked me to change my name, so I changed my name. Anyway, I don't have parents, so it doesn't matter." Wang Anyuan said nonchalantly.

Yu Ling couldn't help being silent for a while, then changed the subject and said, "Why is he avoiding Lone Star?"

When he asked this question, Yu Ling felt that it was an extraordinary coincidence. Now he and Shuo were really inseparable.

"My benefactor didn't tell me much. He said that my cultivation level is low now. The more things I know, the greater the pressure will be. This is not good for me." Wang Anyuan said a little disappointed.

"Then what kind of cultivation is he?"

"My benefactor is so powerful. I don't know his specific realm, but the last time he rescued me, he killed more than a dozen enlightened and Vajra-level chaotic creatures along the way. Finally, he provoked a Guyuan-level one who was also killed.

My benefactor solved it easily." Wang Anyuan was full of admiration.

It seems that this guy Shuo has also made great progress in cultivation. Yu Ling couldn't help but smile lightly. In the past, he always relied on Shuo to save him, but now he can fight side by side.

After knowing that Shuo was safe and sound, Yu Ling relaxed a lot and said, "Then have you ever thought about how it will end after you become famous now?"

"Ah? I don't know. My goal has been achieved. After the exchange meeting, I will return to Mejiro Star. The people here are so enthusiastic and hypocritical. I have been exhausted these two days." Wang

An Yuan said with a headache.

"If you think like this, others won't. Those princes are eagerly waiting for your reply. Their patience is limited," Yu Ling said.

Wang Anyuan couldn't help but was stunned for a moment: "Then...are you in the royal family? I'll go with you, but will there be any danger on the way?"

"It doesn't matter. I wasn't ready yesterday, so I want you to calm down a little bit. Today..."

As Yu Ling was talking, from the corner of her eye, she suddenly saw a little girl carrying a lantern jumping up to her. She smiled sweetly and said, "I have all kinds of beautiful lanterns here. You two want to

Don’t pick one, buy one get one free, it only costs 500 star coins, it can be given to your boyfriend, girlfriend, or friend, or it’s very pleasing to the eye even if you hang it at home.”

"Then let's take this." Wang Anyuan was a little embarrassed to refuse, so he casually took a silver lantern, took out five hundred star coins and handed it to the little girl.

"Thank you, big brother." The little girl picked another bright red lantern and stuffed it into Wang Anyuan's hand: "This is for you."

Yu Ling just noticed that the lantern was a bit strange, and before she could even give a warning, Wang Anyuan and the little girl had disappeared together, leaving only waves of space ripples spreading slowly.

At the same time, a cold aura quickly approached from behind Yu Ling, and the resentment that was as thick as substance spread crazily. If Yu Ling didn't have soul power, he could withstand this wave of impact, otherwise he would definitely be angry.

He is eroded by emotions until he loses his mind.

Yu Ling ignored the traces of Wang Anyuan and immediately used the transposition technique to switch places with a stone on the roadside.
