The Evil Consort Above An Evil King

The sky was bright and sunny again as the blood rain had already come to an end this time. Yun Yanli had wasted his whole night here with Kun Yunzhan! He contacted his subordinates and asked for an update on their search in Leguo City. They had turned the entire Leguo City upside down but still could not find the people that their master wanted.

“Have all the places been searched? Are you sure that you did not miss a single inch?” Yun Yanli pushed his people.

The young palace master who was in charge of the matter was slightly stunned. “The only place that has not been searched in your bedroom.”

The expression on Yun Yanli’s face suddenly turned serious. “I had asked you to search every inch of the land, right? The most crucial place is my bedroom!”

“Master, I have looked around your bedroom, and I did not find anything unusual, so I left. The only place I did not search was the underground palace, as I do not have the permission to enter the place.”

Yun Yanli remained silent.

…

Gu Xijiu was indeed hiding from the rain in Leguo City. Earlier in the carriage, she knew that Yun Yanli would tail them and that the incident would not end well for her. It was only a matter of time before Yun Yanli took action. Therefore, she and Di Fuyi had a discussion. They asked Di Fuyi’s subordinate to talk to Di Fuyi as if they were still in the carriage. At that time, she and Di Fuyi had already teleported away.

She left Di Fuyi in a relatively safe place and went back into the carriage again. She then asked the subordinate to change into her appearance and settle matters with Yun Yanli. Meanwhile, she teleported Guardian Jin and Guardian Hua out of the carriage.

After all, Gu Xijiu had been friends with Yun Yanli for some time. She knew his style of working and remembered how good he was at tracking people down. Due to this, she had developed a set of counter-tracking techniques in the event that she needed to keep herself away from the man. She used the Cloud Leopard to hide her the traces of her breath fro Yun Yanli, but this technique required the cooperation of the Cloud Leopard, which she had captured.

Fortunately, Di Fuyi also knew a technique that hides the essence of people’s souls into a paper doll. This method was much more convenient for the time being, so the two of them made a dozen paper dolls and gave them to Guardian Jin, Guardian Hua, and Guardian Kun.

After Gu Xijiu rescued Guardian Jin and Guardian Hua, the two men caught a couple of wild beasts and hid Di Fuyi’s and Gu Xijiu’s breaths onto them. Everything had to be done swiftly as no one knew how quickly Di Fuyi’s condition would deteriorate.

Gu Xijiu had sent Di Fuyi to Leguo City. Di Fuyi requested that they hid in Yun Yanli’s residence. After all, once Yun Yanli found out something was not right, he would surely send all his people to search the entire city. By convention, the only place that would not be searched was Yun Yanli’s residence. However, Gu Xijiu disagreed with his plan. Knowing Yun Yanli better, she guessed that the first place he would ask his people to search was his residence. Therefore, it would not be a safe place to hide.

Gu Xijiu was spot on as Yun Yanli’s subordinates searched his residence first. It was only after they had done a thorough search that they decided to explore the other areas of the city.

Before the search commenced, Gu Xijiu and the two Guardians had snuck into Yun Yanli’s residence and caught four people. They bombarded them with critical questions to understand the situation and then killed them right away.

Then, all of them disguised as the four people who were killed and walked into the house through the front door without being caught.
