"Senior Sister Bi Qing, where are you going on your mission this time?" Shen Yehong suddenly asked.
"Taiyan Dynasty!"
Bi Qing said, "According to the academy's mission, to kill a Half-Saint expert, I naturally cannot accomplish it with my own strength."
"A Half-Saint expert?"
Shen Yehong looked surprised. "Within the entire Taiyan Dynasty, even Half-Saint experts are not numerous. I am also from the Taiyan Dynasty. I wonder who Senior Sister intends to kill?"
"His name is Gu Yuntong, and he is in the Taiyan Imperial City!"
Bi Qing said, "As for other information, I am not very clear."
"Gu Yuntong?"
Shen Yehong was slightly startled. "Could it be the Gu family, one of the three major families of the Taiyan Dynasty?"
"Do you know him?"
Bi Qing was somewhat surprised. If that were the case, it would be too coincidental.
"The Gu family has an inseparable relationship with the Taiyan Dynasty."
Shen Yehong said frankly, "Why does Tongtian Academy want to kill him?"
"According to the investigation by the Tongtian Academy Mission Hall, Gu Yuntong has committed many evils in the Taiyan Dynasty and has also raped and killed many women, which is why he was targeted by Tongtian Academy," Bi Qing said frankly.
"I've long heard that Tongtian Academy governs many regions and has formidable means. It seems to be true now," Liuli said.
"Since we are going to the Taiyan Dynasty, I would like to go along!" Shen Yehong said, "It's a good opportunity to visit home."
"Since you want to go, then let's travel together!" Bi Qing nodded slightly.
Sixth-grade pills held considerable temptation for him. More importantly, he had reached a bottleneck and needed constant trials to improve himself.
After Bi Qing left, Shen Yehong looked at Lu Fan. "We'll travel together then!"
"Since you want to go, then let's go together," Lu Fan said helplessly. According to his plan, he didn't want to bring Shen Yehong along, but it seemed there was no other way.
"I'll go too!" Liuli said. "Although Tongtian Academy's cultivation resources are good, it's too boring. Being able to go out for some fresh air seems like a good choice."
By the next morning, several figures had departed together, and the entire East Courtyard instantly quieted down.
Without these few people, the East Courtyard naturally seemed a bit desolate.
Outside the Taiyan Imperial City, Lu Fan and the others had arrived. Looking at the massive imperial city, they were somewhat moved.
Although Lu Fan knew that the Taiyan Dynasty, as a great dynasty, must be quite luxurious, he had not expected it to be so magnificent. Palaces and buildings were everywhere, and they stood out even more within this great dynasty.
"This is the imperial city of the Taiyan Dynasty!"
Shen Yehong said, "You have just arrived in the imperial city and are not familiar with some things. Why don't I arrange for you to stay in this imperial palace!"
"We have come to Taiyan Imperial City to complete a mission, not to enjoy ourselves."
Lu Fan said, "Why should we enter this imperial palace?"
"I just want you to see what the imperial palace of the Taiyan Dynasty is like."
Shen Yehong said awkwardly, "I have no other intentions."
"It's best if you have no other intentions!"
Lu Fan nodded slightly. "If you hadn't said that, I would have thought you were going to deal with me."
Shen Yehong was slightly stunned, and her face instantly became awkward. Previously, she had always wanted to kill Lu Fan, without any scruples. However, she wouldn't do that now. She now considered Lu Fan a friend, so how could she do such a thing?
After entering the imperial city, Lu Fan looked around for a moment, then said to Bi Qing, "It's getting late. Although the person we need to kill is in the imperial city, we don't know his exact location. Why don't we stay in the imperial city for now?"
"I was thinking the same thing!"
Bi Qing nodded slightly. "After completing this mission, we can also stay in the imperial city for a few days and enjoy the services within the imperial city."
"Okay, okay!"
Liuli quickly said, "That would be best. This is also my first time in the imperial city. I didn't expect it to be so lively."
"You've been cultivating in Shenji Mountain, so it's normal that you haven't been to the imperial city," Lu Fan said. "However, for this operation, Senior Sister Bi Qing and I will handle it. You don't need to get involved, to avoid causing trouble."
"Why can't we participate?" Liuli asked, confused. "I am also a disciple of Tongtian Academy, and this is a mission for Tongtian Academy."
"You are, after all, from the Taiyan Dynasty. The Gu family has a certain foundation in the Taiyan Dynasty. If you offend the Gu family, it will be disadvantageous for you," Lu Fan said frankly. "The reason I say this is for your own good."
"Within this Taiyan Dynasty, there is no one the royal family fears!" Shen Yehong said. "You don't need to worry about me!"
"Even so, as everyone knows, dynasties also need the maintenance of various families. If you get involved, it will be extremely detrimental to the entire royal family," Lu Fan said frankly. "Perhaps you are still young and cannot see the logic behind this, but it is correct to listen to me."
Shen Yehong was slightly stunned, and there was even more joy in her eyes. Lu Fan cared about her so much, which made her feel quite happy. In the past, she had done many things to Lu Fan that made him quite disgusted with her, but as time passed, she suddenly had a feeling that what Shenji Mountain had predicted was correct.
Arriving at the largest tavern in the imperial city, Bi Qing ordered a few small dishes, and everyone began to eat slowly. Those who could afford to eat here were all high-ranking officials and nobles.
"A meal at this Shenxianju probably costs tens of thousands of spirit stones!"
Shen Yehong said, "However, this is the Taiyan Dynasty, and it's already at my doorstep. I'll treat you to this meal!"
"How can that be? I ordered the food!" Bi Qing smiled. "Why don't I pay?"
"Senior Sister Bi Qing, there's no need to be so polite with me."
Shen Yehong shook her head. "Since we are in the Taiyan Dynasty, we are guests. How can I let you spend money?"
Bi Qing couldn't say anything more. In fact, even she didn't know that a meal at Shenxianju cost so many spirit stones. As expected, the imperial city was extraordinary.
After settling the bill, Shen Yehong smiled and said, "I've been away from home for some time. Since I'm back in the imperial city, I should go back. However, our accommodation has already been chosen, which is upstairs in Shenxianju. The rooms have already been paid for, so you can check in directly!"
"Princess Yehong is indeed generous!" Liuli praised. "This Shenxianju looks so prosperous, and its prices must be quite high. Although we all have considerable cultivation, we don't have many spirit stones on us!"
