745: Chapter 492 745: Chapter 492 They realized that every time the King summoned Ye Tian, he would benefit, and this time too, Ye Tian had returned from outside, and his father had entered secluded cultivation and enhanced his own cultivation level.
It was obvious that the King had gained some advantage, and he even gave land to someone he didn’t know.
Therefore, this Saint Sect organization must be the team led by that top-notch Alchemist.
Having figured this out, the princes discovered that the Chief Steward had also improved his cultivation.
They were annoyed that even an old servant could improve his cultivation while they were late to realize it.
They felt like stepchildren, that the King no longer cared for them.
If the King didn’t care, could they not seek an audience with the Alchemist?
If they couldn’t meet the Alchemist, they could at least see Young General Ye.
After giving the princes a scolding and obtaining their promises, the King then summoned the Prime Minister to the palace.
The men the Prime Minister had sent out were inexplicably left in a sorry state.
He knew it must be because the other party was too powerful.
He had witnessed the disturbances in the east of the city, the thunder and lightning, and had originally thought it was a natural phenomenon.
But after having it investigated, he found out that it was the work of Cultivators.
The Saint Sect was overseeing that piece of land, and the people within were too formidable.
Being summoned by the King, the Prime Minister of course knew that the other party had tracked it back to him, and he went to inform the King.
He also had people inside the palace, who knew that Ye Tian had been to the Imperial Palace, and that the King had discussed the matter of the land with him.
The Prime Minister could only play dumb, stating he was unaware of the land issue and the people causing disruptions.
Eventually,
The Prime Minister refused to admit that he had sent out people, and said that if there were future disruptions, he would deal with them seriously.
The King merely warned him, and how could this old fox admit to deeds he had committed?
As for this old fox, who had always been sabotaging and causing harm, it was disgusting enough to have kept this rat’s droppings by his side to restrain others in the past.
Of course, he didn’t wish for him to continue being a nuisance.
He warned him not to harbor too many malicious intentions; the nation was peaceful and prosperous, and he should cherish the good life before his eyes.
As a subject, he should focus on managing his subordinates and protecting the nation.
The Prime Minister felt aggrieved and somewhat indignant when reprimanded; this King only ever criticized others but never looked at his own shortcomings.
He neglected early morning court sessions and ignored state affairs, yet had the gall to criticize him?
Wasn’t managing the nation the King’s duty?
Wasn’t protecting the nation the General’s duty?
The Prime Minister could only swallow the loss in silence, realizing that his opponent was becoming increasingly powerful, while he remained the same; eventually, not to mention snatching a position, he would not even be able to defeat his opponent in combat.
Thinking of his own family’s Capable Beings not being as strong as others, now the King was also advancing.
It was fortunate that the princes had not mentioned it; the Emperor’s sons were useless, which gave him an opportunity.
The Prime Minister also thought of his own son.
Lately, he had been busy and hadn’t visited his son; he also didn’t know why, but his son seemed to have become compliant recently, not going to Yingzi.
Yingzi, too, hadn’t gone to his son’s place and recently seemed to be staying quietly in her own courtyard.
The Prime Minister was tempted to investigate further.
After leaving the Imperial Palace, he returned home and went to see his son first thing.
Since Liu Tao met Bian Shasha, he had let her stay in his courtyard and ordered his guards not to report to his father; if they did not obey his orders, he threatened to have them killed.
The guards of the courtyard, threatened by their heir and captivated by the games played in the courtyard, were indeed eager to know more about the affairs between men and women.
The heir and Bian Shasha, along with the women with the heir, played in the room, blatantly leaving windows and doors open.
Weren’t they inviting the guards to watch?
If it were normal frivolity, they would turn their heads away and cover their ears to see and hear nothing during the merriment.
But this woman named Bian Shasha knew how to play too well, didn’t she?
Making the heir so happy, the moans were coming from the heir’s mouth and another maid.
Bian Shasha, the woman, had become the leader, making their hearts beat wildly as they listened, yearning to join in their fun.
Liu Tao had fallen in love with this kind of entertainment, with Bian Shasha leading him to the heights of joy, finding this woman to be more skillful in revelry than Yingzi.
Engrossed in daily entertainment, he had already forgotten Yingzi, unaware that Yingzi, absorbed in her own play, had no time to hassle Liu Tao.
The arrival of the man in black threw Yingzi into turmoil; she was controlled by the other party.
Initially very guarded, she was eventually subdued by his superior skills.
The organization had always provided training for her in this area of ability, and besides, she was no longer a virgin.
Although she refused to have relations with Liu Tao and even drugged him, the person she fell in love with during her time in the organization had already acted, secretly staying by her side beyond their professional relationship.
However, for his own gain, that person handed her over to Liu Tao.
It’s possible that person died, which left her heartbroken for a while.
Still, while her heart ache, the tasks assigned by the organization had to be done.
As a woman who’d been with a man before, she had her needs while continuously fulfilling missions for the organization.
In the dead of night, she too felt lonely.
She discovered that this man was not a man of wealth but a thief of hearts.
Under the influence of the drug he administered and his remarkable capabilities, she was conquered.
For several days in a row, she hadn’t gone out like this, nor had she made any contact with the outside world.
Not only was she controlled by the other party, but she was also unwilling to step outside.
The Prime Minister and his son did not come to disturb her, and she had no desire to see these two men.
The Prime Minister felt it was very strange to see his son in this state; the guards seemed off, their faces flushed as if they’d been drinking, but he didn’t smell alcohol on them.
The Prime Minister found it curious but didn’t pursue the guard’s odd expression further.
The guards were startled by the Prime Minister’s entry, fearing his discovery might lead to punishment or even their execution.
It was now impossible to inform the heir; seeing the Prime Minister in this state would reveal everything, making things worse if they tried to hide it.
They could only stand silently at the door while the guards inside were already engrossed in the heir and the ladies’ game.
Caught up in the game, they failed to notice the Prime Minister’s arrival until he reached the doorstep of the son’s chamber.
Upon entering the courtyard, the Prime Minister immediately sensed something odd about the gatekeeper’s demeanor.
As he moved closer, he was shocked to hear his son’s and the lady’s loud voices during daylight hours.
This was a clear dereliction of duty.
Filled with anger, the Prime Minister was already busy enough without having to deal with his negligent son.
Even locked up in the courtyard, his son was not behaving; he was eager to see what kind of woman could so captivate his child.
He inwardly blamed Yingzi, convinced she must be causing trouble in his son’s courtyard.
Fuming, he reached his son’s door and saw the entangled, pallid flesh upon his son’s bed.
The Prime Minister wanted to intervene, but upon witnessing the unfamiliar game they were playing, he was taken aback.
The Prime Minister had wives and concubines, but he had never engaged in such games.
Unnoticed at the doorway by his son, Bian Shasha saw him.
She noticed a middle-aged man who bore a resemblance to the young master, a man who still carried a certain charm, and an idea flashed in her mind.
Wouldn’t it be more fun if the son and father played the game together?
The door was open anyway and the man had seen everything.
Witnessing his furious expression change to one of curiosity as he watched, she thought he might be worth pursuing.
Meanwhile, she instructed Liu Tao and the other woman to continue their game, engrossed and unaware of the doorway.
But she turned around and stepped towards the door, approaching the middle-aged man whose expression went from anger to curiosity, to a deeper, changing hue.
Actually under pressure, the Prime Minister was captivated by the seductive eyes of the woman before him, losing himself in her gaze.
Yingzi had looked at him with such eyes before, but he had been able to control his own emotions.
Yet the woman before him was too potent; not only were her eyes beguiling, but her beauty and body were irresistible.
The Prime Minister was stunned, feeling his heart blaze with passion as the woman embraced him.
Bian Shasha took the middle-aged man’s hand, hugged him, then pulled him into the room to join the game.
Only then did Liu Tao notice his father and, seeing him join in, …!
