23. They’re All Here
“Xian’er—”
“No need to say more!” Although it was annoying to have the chat room cut off by this Law of Heaven, to prevent this old guy from causing any more trouble, Gong Yiling had no choice but to interrupt Xian’er.
“Mmm…?”
“Some things are better left a mystery.” Gong Yiling smiled and rubbed Xian’er’s head. “At the critical moment, it’s up to you how you perform.”
Although this was just a last-minute excuse, Xian’er took her words very seriously and nodded solemnly, making Gong Yiling want to laugh.
At this point, the confusion about Xian’er came to an end. Now, the recording in her hand was proof that those pharmaceutical company bosses, who seemed so submissive to her, actually didn’t take her seriously at all.
Not only did they treat everything that had happened before as just a play, but they had also considered using her as a pawn to counter Murong Jing.
However, these old guys didn’t think she was from the old sect, and they didn’t know she was the Gong Yiling who had caused a stir in the Baiyao Dynasty. Besides Chen Wanchun, the others’ topics had nothing to do with her.
In this way, she could do whatever she wanted without being in their sights.
The only person to watch out for was the Prince Kui who was about to arrive.
This Prince Kui, who was extremely good at transforming into other people, she didn’t know what kind of face he would appear with this time.

A few days later, still outside the capital, the city guards intercepted a carriage that was trying to force its way through the gate.
This carriage was driven quite recklessly, probably because the horse was not a horse at all, but a fluffy, strange-shaped thing.
Fortunately, they were prepared outside the city. A wind pressure talisman formation for deceleration was prepared in advance, so they managed to slow this thing down.
“Wuhu.” The black-clad woman who jumped out of the carriage, also an old driver of Mount Akina, shrugged with some unfulfilled desire.
She didn’t seem to care that she had almost crashed the gate, and said to the few guards with a carefree smile, “This little thing is a bit difficult to control. Fortunately, you were smart enough to prepare in advance.”
Look at what she said.
The few guards looked at each other and didn’t seem to want to give this woman a good face.
“Are you here to cause trouble!”
However, the guard captain who was walking behind them, the moment he saw the woman, almost knelt down.
Although this big sister hadn’t been so arrogant as to show her face everywhere for a while, those with a bit more experience naturally recognized who she was.
“Gong… Great Palace Master Gong!”
Hearing him say this, all the other guards immediately shivered.
Gong Muzhi, they had never seen her before, but this name was filled with the three words “heavyweight.”
This was a ruthless person who dared to rush into Qian Yue Academy alone and come out unscathed; this was the first Palace Master of the Five Demonic Abysses, known for her strange and unpredictable temperament; this was the top leader of the demonic sects, a legendary young genius, and the so-called new talents of the Daoist sects of her time were not even worthy of carrying her shoes.
This demonic sect leader… was actually here!?
Everyone couldn’t help but feel ashamed. They always felt that this leader was here to complete the achievement of single-handedly destroying the city.
Especially this smiling face. How could this legendary leader smile at them? Was this not a declaration of their death?
Of course, these guards naturally didn’t know that Gong Muzhi would come here, and Murong Jing also didn’t expect that such a ruthless person would actually follow the rules and drive a carriage through the main gate.
As for why she looked so happy… nonsense! She hadn’t seen her beloved Ling’er for a long time. Now that she could finally see her daughter, how could she not be happy?
“What’s wrong with you?” Gong Muzhi looked at them with a puzzled expression, almost kneeling in front of her.
The Youhan Dynasty, which was said to be the most capable among the Four Kingdoms… was this it?
“Senior Gong,” the city guard commander immediately called out this title of respect, “Your presence… for what reason?”
“Of course it’s to find… ahem.” Gong Muzhi almost blurted out her purpose.
She quickly coughed lightly and said seriously, “It was clearly Murong Jing who came to me. How did it become that I came here on purpose? Do I look like the kind of person who is idle and likes to fight everywhere?”
Yes, very much, very, very much.
But this was obviously a life-threatening question. Anyone who dared to say so would basically be courting death.
“No.”
“Then that’s right. You can just let me pass.” Gong Muzhi waved her hand dismissively. “I still want to try if that little thing’s emergency stop function is good or not.”
“This…”
In principle, if she did this, she could turn the entire capital upside down. The few of them couldn’t let her in.
But the problem now was that they didn’t have the guts to stop her.
“Hey, if you have any more questions, go to your emperor.”
Gong Muzhi had no intention of wasting any more time here. Seeing that these people were stammering and unable to speak, Gong Muzhi directly returned to the carriage, drove the so-called “horse,” and rushed into the city.
There were still some people behind who wanted to follow her and sneak in, but they were directly thrown out by the guards who had reacted.
“What should we do?”
After dealing with the problem in front of them, the guards couldn’t help but look at the city guard general.
Just then, a man’s voice made them turn their heads.
“The dignified Palace Master of the Pear Blossom Blood Orchid Palace, why would she need to make up some other excuse to fool you?”
A handsome young man walked towards them, smiling. “Besides, this is a matter between Senior Gong and His Majesty Murong. It’s a big deal, so they naturally wouldn’t tell you. It’s normal that you don’t know the reason.”
“Could it be,” he then opened his fan and fanned it lightly. His tone was emotionless, but it was filled with a chilling threat. “that His Majesty Murong’s actions need to be reported to you?”
As soon as he finished speaking, the guards’ faces immediately changed.
To speak ill of a superior was a great crime. Even if they had a hundred guts, they would never do such a thing.
After reacting, the general also looked at him with some gratitude. If it weren’t for this young master’s words, they would have almost committed the crime of overstepping their bounds.
“I wonder who you are, young master…?”
“I,” the young man put away his fan, stood with his hands behind his back, and smiled slightly, “am Lin Bieji. Of course, you can also call me.”
“Prince Kui.”
