Transmigrated as the Treacherous Official's Childhood Sweetheart-Chapter 398 - 397: Qin Yin

"Xiao Chen, why don’t we go to the palace to see the Little Fairy? Oh, just to visit Qinglian, I remember she said she’s at Yijing Palace."

He quietly described, "Sneaking into the Imperial Palace is a serious crime."

Ye Zhi nodded in agreement, indicating that she understood, "Then I won’t go; I’ll go buy some snacks to eat. You go back to Ye Mansion first, I’ll return after eating."

While she said this, her little face still looked towards the majestic Imperial Palace.

Shen Chen knew she wanted to go secretly, and after a pause, he said, "There is nothing interesting in the Imperial Palace, don’t go." He spoke calmly.

Ye Zhi’s delicate, lovely face concealed a subtle beauty in her brows as she turned to look at the young man, awkwardly saying, "No, I didn’t intend to go secretly."

In fact, she did want to go secretly. She had confidence in her Qinggong skills; sneaking in from the shadows wouldn’t be a big problem.

She imagined herself descending from the sky, and the Little Fairy would surely be delighted.

Shen Chen’s brows furrowed, "Then I’ll accompany you."

Ye Zhi’s eyes sparkled brightly, then dimmed instantly. She hung her head and said softly, "You better return to Ye Mansion; I’m afraid your Qinggong isn’t good enough and getting caught would be bad."

Shen Chen tightened his grip on the Silver-plated Hundred Flowers Incense Ball Hand Warmer, the veins on his hand slightly bulging as he pressed down his temper, saying, "My Qinggong is not weak."

Not just not weak, clearly surpassing hers, correct?

Now, the little girl actually considers him a burden, apparently forgetting how she lost to him on Dragon Tiger Mountain.

A man should stand tall, full of masculine vigor.

Shen Chen didn’t want to appear weak in front of Ah Zhi.

He wanted Ah Zhi to trust him and rely on him. Over the years, he was no longer just that bookish scholar or that servant whom everyone could trample upon.

Ye Zhi glanced once more at the majestic Imperial Palace, contemplating, "Let’s reconsider; the Six Gates is full of experts, ruthless in their actions. They come and go without a trace. If we are targeted upon going, it could be troublesome. Better fewer troubles than more."

Let’s wait until the Little Traitor establishes the Investigation Factory before going.

Counting fingers, after the new year, the Little Traitor will officially enter the court, right? Having passed the child student examination, he can rise quickly, starting his path of power. The higher he stands, the more Liu Qingxi will be drawn to him and approach him proactively. Will he follow the storyline in the book?

Ye Zhi raised her head, a ripple in her gaze, staring at the youth as bright as the moon.

In the end, will he kill me?

She remembered he has subordinates known as the Four Symbols, namely Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Xuanwu.

The man called Azure Dragon is the one under his command, overseeing execution.

"Xiao Chen, do you know a man named Qin Yin? He’s not much older than you." Qin Yin, who is destined to be the future Azure Dragon.

Shen Chen nodded, "I know him, not too familiar, why?" Yet he was slightly startled inside. He never mentioned Qin Yin to others, why would Ah Zhi ask about him? Could it be that they met?

However, if Qin Yin had met Ah Zhi, he should have told me; it’s impossible to hide.

He remained outwardly calm, as if truly not familiar with Qin Yin.

Ye Zhi’s eyes lit up, pressing him, "Do you have contact with him now? Do you know where he is? I want to spar with him properly, I know he knows martial arts."

Shen Chen shook his head, indicating he didn’t know, and said, "I don’t know where he is. How do you know he knows martial arts?"

In fact, Qin Yin was sent by Shen Chen to Jiangnan to assist Uncle Jin. After using martial power to settle things, he would return to the Capital City. His business endeavours weren’t ripe yet, naturally not mentioned to the people of Ye Mansion.

Even Dragon Tiger Mountain is kept in the dark.

State Preceptor Pei Wanmu seems to know something, but ignores Shen Chen, turning a blind eye.
