Ningzhe has never been to the Privy Council since he can remember.

The nature of this organization is so special that even though Ningzhe was curious about it, he had never set foot in it.

From another perspective, this kind of organization that is directly responsible to Prince Yan is equivalent to the most trusted intelligence agency under the ancient emperor. If others dare to touch it, they will undoubtedly be sentenced to death by the angry "emperor".

But now...

At least it was clear that Prince Yan passed away, so he could go to the Privy Council without any scruples.

Regarding what the mysterious man who called himself Yunfu said, Ningzhe thought carefully for a while and finally decided not to tell Ningguang right away.

If he didn't lie, then the identity of Privy Councilor [White] would be a protective wall in front of Qixing. Once Qixing took any action against Privy Council, it would immediately cause a chain reaction.

During this period, due to some people's instigation and vicious propaganda, people already have a layer of distrust towards Qixing...

It would definitely not be a good thing if news like "Seven Stars purged the Privy Council" or "Liyue Seven Stars centralized power to wipe out other organizations" were to come out at this time.

"..."

After pondering for a while, Ningzhe glanced at the place where the man in white disappeared, and then stepped forward and entered Liyue Port.

...

Quickly crossing Liyue Port to the outskirts, Ningzhe quickly arrived at the Privy Council.

Interestingly, the appearance of the Privy Council was beyond his expectation.

It was not surrounded by high walls as he imagined. There was a tall tower in the middle to store information, and there were houses in other places to provide rest and other structures...

The Privy Council is just a courtyard with three houses in it. Except for the one in the middle which is slightly larger, the others are the same size as ordinary residential buildings.

With this configuration, if it weren't for the real feedback from his mental power, Ningzhe would have thought that he might have accidentally entered the courtyard of a wealthy businessman.

"Hello? Is there anyone there?"

Standing at the door, Ningzhe retracted his mental search and shouted inside.

quiet--

However, except for a gust of wind, there was no movement inside.

"..."

It's so strange, there seems to be nothing in this place except the sound of wind...

Poking out his head, Ningzhe easily saw the ordinary decorated house in the middle. The other two seemed to have been unoccupied for a long time and had even fallen a lot of dust.

"Um..."

After pondering for a moment, Ningzhe took a step forward and stepped directly into the courtyard.

The moment he stepped into the courtyard, Ningzhe silently superimposed a layer of ethereal mental shield on himself.

"..."

As expected, it was not beyond Ningzhe's expectation. At that moment, Ningzhe was hit by a mental attack.

Feeling the intensity of this power, Ningzhe frowned.

With such intensity of mental power, let alone ordinary people, even some physically strong warriors will be severely injured without special defense means.

Even...directly annihilating the spirit of the visitor.

"Sure enough...Boss Ning, you are the source of the burst of mental power that day..."

At this moment, Yunfu, dressed in white, suddenly appeared in front of Ningzhe and spoke in a helpless tone.

"The Privy Councilor [in white], is this Yunfu?"

Ningzhe was not surprised at all by this man's sudden appearance. He just crossed his arms and said calmly: "I have come to the Privy Council as you wished, so let's talk about what happened."

"..."

Hearing this, Yunfu was silent for a while, and then let out a long sigh.

"You are more talented than that person named Ning Yu... I believe you can solve this matter."

"Then let me tell you, back then..."

"etc."

Hearing the familiar name, Ningzhe interrupted him without hesitation and said directly: "You mentioned Ning Yu, tell me why? Is this related to him?"

Ningzhe obviously cares more about his friend than these so-called truths.

"..."

Suddenly interrupted, Yunfu was stunned for a moment, glanced at Ningzhe thoughtfully, and then slowly shook his head.

"He is very concerned about the truth about the destruction of the Ning family... Of course, as his best friend, you naturally know the reason better than I do."

Through the mask, Yunfu's tone was extremely cold, as if he was describing something that had nothing to do with him.

"Say it directly."

Ningzhe opened his eyes, and all the spiritual energy in the sky suddenly turned into a spear, pointing directly at Yunfu.

"Haha... doesn't he want the truth? So, I helped him and asked him to go to the Ning family ruins to collect the contaminated earth power..."

Yunfu didn't seem to care about the spear floating in the sky at all, and his tone was very calm.

"Afterwards, he will take that contaminated power to Tianqiu Valley... In this way, he will definitely attract the monsters hidden in Tianqiu Valley."

"At that time, we can..."

Whoosh——

"Well...!"

Before Yunfu could finish his words, the sharp spear formed by mental power stabbed him directly without hesitation, penetrating his entire body.

"You have made two mistakes, Privy Councilor White."

Ningzhe took a step forward, and a spear gradually took shape in his hand, directly touching Yunfu's throat.

"You underestimated Ning Yu's strength..."

The spear gradually turned into golden light, passing through the mask and gradually pouring into Yunfu's body.

"You also overestimate my level of patience... The matter of earth veins is indeed very important, but there is absolutely no way I will allow you to behave in this way..."

However, the next second, Yunfu, dressed in white, suddenly disappeared, and then he appeared again at the door of the middle room.

"Not bad, very good."

Yunfu exhaled softly, his tone showing no anger or other negative emotions after being attacked, but just relief.

"Um?"

Seeing the movements and tone of the man in white, Ningzhe withdrew his mental power and frowned.

What on earth does this guy... want to do?

Did he actually escape the cage I set in an instant? It turns out that he is also a strong man who majors in spiritual power...

"Haha...it's just a small test."

Seeing Ningzhe's vigilant expression, Yunfu shook his head helplessly, then raised his right hand slightly, and a gray pen suddenly appeared from his hand.

This is a gray brush with surprising lines carved on the body. The tip is sometimes sharp and sometimes soft. You can tell that it is extraordinary from its appearance.

"This is...?"

"To be honest, I "passed away" five years ago."

Yunfu pushed forward slightly with his right hand, and the brush flew towards Ningzhe.

"Wait a minute, you said you already..." five years ago.

Ningzhe took the brush without hesitation and looked at Yunfu with a strange expression.

No wonder when he was at the entrance of the Liyue Port Bridge, he felt as if this person did not exist in the world and was completely integrated with the surroundings... Did it turn out that he "survived" in the form of a soul?

"Yes. Well...it's time to tell you everything."

Seeing Ningzhe take the pen, Yunfu nodded slightly, and then slowly spoke.
