"Lin Fengg, fifth-layer Qi Cultivation, twenty-five years old."

"Tang City, fourth-layer Qi Cultivation, twenty-one years old."

"Li Fan, fourth-layer Qi Cultivation, twenty years old."

Lii Huan Zhenren said, "These three are my Hehuan Sect Inner Sect Disciples, but from today onward, they belong to the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty, serving Your Majesty."

"Lin? Tang? Li?"

Zheng Yi’s tone was peculiar, but he quickly understood, casting a deep look at the leader of the three, Lin Fengg.

He was also the one secretly observed by Liu Yufei.

This person, at twenty-five years old, has only reached the fifth-layer Qi Cultivation, with a rather ordinary Root Bone aptitude.

Yet, he possesses a handsome appearance, and who knows how many virtuous women he can lure.

Most importantly, he comes from the Hehuan Sect, and even if he hasn’t cultivated the sect’s ultimate technique, "Great Joy of Heaven and Earth," he has practiced other Dual Cultivation Techniques.

To ordinary women, he has a remarkably strong appeal.

As for his relation with Liu Yufei... what does it matter to Zheng Yi?

He desires Liu Yufei’s body, not her true heart, so why think so much?

As the Direct Disciple of Hehuan Sect’s Sect Leader Lii Huan Zhenren, Liu Yufei cultivates the "Great Joy of Heaven and Earth" and must maintain her virginity.

On this matter, Zheng Yi has no concerns.

"Hmm, not bad, all are outstanding individuals."

Zheng Yi nodded slightly; he didn’t have much interest in these people.

If not for Liu Yufei, he wouldn’t even bother with them.

"Since you are loyal to the nation, joining our Great Yu Immortal Dynasty, I will not let you down."

"The Capital City is abundant in Spiritual Qi; I have already arranged for a palace named ’Sanqing Palace’ to be built outside the Imperial Palace with dozens of Cave Mansions, pavilions, and halls fully equipped for you to freely choose as a temporary abode."

"However, today, please remain at the Imperial Palace; after tonight’s banquet, you can return to Sanqing Palace."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After arranging everything, Zheng Yi stood up, "Yufei, follow me~"

"Yes!"

Liu Yufei obediently followed closely behind Zheng Yi, and even used her peripheral vision to glance at her respectful mentor standing at the throne, and at Lin Fengg behind him.

Then, she quickly followed Zheng Yi out. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

The cultivators followed suit, led by the eunuch, and walked out of Baiyu City.

"Master..."

Just as they exited, Lin Fengg approached in a low voice.

Lii Huan’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, "Speak later."

"Yes, Master!"

Under the guidance of several eunuchs, they soon arrived at a side hall.

The lead eunuch respectfully said, "Immortal Masters can rest here; inside are fruits, tea, and snacks, everything is provided. Should you need anything else, feel free to call upon the servants."

Everyone instinctively looked towards Lii Huan.

Among the nine cultivators present, the one with the highest cultivation was undoubtedly Lii Huan, and they subconsciously regarded her as their leader.

"Hmm."

Lii Huan nodded slightly, "You may go."

"Yes!"

Nodding towards the head of the Four Ghosts of Shannan, Lii Huan led Lin Fengg and the others into a side hall.

The Four Ghosts also exchanged glances before entering another side hall.

Inside the side hall, with patience, Lin Fengg and the others waited until Lii Huan set a soundproof Restriction before eagerly speaking:

"Master! Yufei was taken by that Emperor; will she be alright?"

Lii Huan glanced at him, "This is Yufei’s opportunity; how could there be any trouble, what nonsense are you talking?"

"But, but disciple heard that Emperor Zhengyong is indulgent and the harem is filled with beautiful women; if Yufei were bullied by Emperor Zhengyong..."

"Silence!"

Lii Huan said coldly, "What Emperor Zhengyong, in the future we should refer to him as ’Your Majesty.’"

"But..."

"But what?"

Lii Huan continued, "I understand your thoughts; you have taken care of Yufei since childhood, almost like her most trusted elder brother."

"Yufei also harbors some feelings for you, but so what?"

"Now Yufei faces Emperor Zhengyong, who is of equal cultivation to me and even progressing further."

"And we are still within the heavily guarded Imperial Palace, attempting to resist is nothing but a fool’s dream!"

Lii Huan approached the window, looking outside with a solemn tone, "I have carefully examined before, there are faint Restriction fluctuations all around the Imperial Palace, proving Emperor Zhengyong possesses ample Array Materials, forming a Grand Array covering the entire palace!"

"It can be said that the entire palace is Emperor Zhengyong’s sect headquarters and his Cave Mansion."

"We must not defy him here."

"Otherwise, even I cannot escape disaster!"

"Master..."

Upon hearing this, the three disciples’ faces changed drastically.

Especially Lin Fengg, who gritted his teeth, "Are we just to leave it like this? Yufei is still young, if she were bullied..."

"Bullied?"

Lii Huan frowned, "Having Yufei recognize Emperor Zhengyong as her godfather was your idea, wasn’t it!"

"Trying to extinguish Emperor Zhengyong’s intentions towards Yufei, but it backfired."

"Now Yufei becomes a princess, and your status gap will only grow larger."

"If you adhere to instruction, perhaps you can gain some opportunity from the favor of Hehuan Sect and Yufei."

"If you harbor impractical thoughts... disaster awaits!"

Seeing Lii Huan’s solemn expression, Lin Fengg and the other two were greatly shaken, and could only respectfully say, "Yes, Master."

Lii Huan sighed deeply, "Lin Fengg, you are my Senior Disciple, you even raised Yufei, and I’ve witnessed the bond between you."
