Nangong Mingyue was the first to come forward, "On the way...there was no accident, right?"
"Some accidents happened, but they are all under my control!"
Ye Chen glanced at the second prince's palace and gave a hint.
"Thank you Mr. Ye!"
Nangong Mingyue hurriedly bowed to him.
Although Ye Chen did not say what happened specifically, they naturally received the news that the second prince was assassinated in the street just now.
Just now, Nangong Kaige came back safe and sound, so she guessed that Ye Chen must have done something secretly.
"Brother Ye, did you just save my second brother?"
At this time, another voice came from not far away.
"Your Highness, Fifth Prince?"
Ye Chen raised his eyebrows and looked over.
The person who spoke was none other than the Fifth Prince Nangong Qin.
"Brother Ye is really thoughtful!"
Nangong Qin walked closer and said in a strange tone: "I heard that my second brother was assassinated on the street, and now he is back alive. Maybe he doesn't know that it is related to you, Brother Ye, right?"
When he said this, he cast a questioning look at Ye Chen intentionally or unintentionally.
"Your Highness, I have a question for you!"
Ye Chen did not answer Nangong Qin's words, but instead made a "please" gesture to the other party.
"What questions do you have for me?"
Nangong Qin was startled.
"This is not the place to talk!"
Intentionally or unintentionally, he glanced at Nangong Kaige's palace and walked to a room not far away.
Nangong Qin frowned slightly, a flash of displeasure flashed in his eyes.
But after careful consideration, he still followed.
Nangong Mingyue's expression was also a little complicated, but when she saw Ye Chen and Nangong Qin walking away, she followed them silently.
Not long after, they came to a relatively airtight room.
"Brother Ye, feel free to ask if you have anything to say. With our relationship, there is nothing to hide!"
Nangong Qin behaved very generously, with a warm and bright smile, and looked like he could talk to Ye Chen about anything.
"Your Highness, Fifth Prince, do you still remember what you promised me before we went to the Western Regions?"
Ye Chen asked instead without answering.
"this……"
Nangong Qin's eyes rolled around a few times before he suddenly realized, "Of course you remember, you want the refining method of the Emperor's Pill, as well as the emperor-level cultivation techniques and combat skills, right?"
"good!"
Ye Chen nodded, "Now that we have returned from the border of the Western Region, can Your Highness, the Fifth Prince, help me look for these things?"
The reason why I went to the border of the Western Region with Nangong Qin before was because the other party agreed to these conditions.
Now that he has returned to the imperial capital, the other party seems to have forgotten this matter.
He felt it was necessary to remind the other party.
"The Imperial Master's Office has the method for refining the Emperor's Pill!"
Nangong Qin pondered for a moment and said: "The National Preceptor's Office is the alchemist center of the entire empire. It controls the alchemist branches across the country. It has a relatively complete collection of refining methods for various pills in the world!"
"but……"
At this point, he changed the topic and said: "I don't think I need to say more about our current situation. You should also know it!"
"My father has passed away, and there are hordes of gangsters from all sides, ready to take action!"
"As far as I know, the Imperial Prefecture did not choose a camp, but chose neutrality!"
"so……"
He took a deep breath and said with a wry smile: "Even if I were the fifth prince and went to the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion, they would not necessarily give me the face to give me the method of refining the Emperor's Pill!"
"The Imperial Preceptor's Mansion?"
Ye Chen raised his eyebrows, "Then how can I enter the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion?"
"As long as you have the alchemist badge, you can take the assessment. As long as you pass the assessment, you can become a member of the Imperial Prefect's Office and have the opportunity to come into contact with various elixir refining methods collected by the Imperial Preceptor's Office!"
"That's it, then I'll try it!"
Immediately, Ye Chen asked again: "What about the emperor-level skills and combat skills?"
"this……"
Nangong Qin became even more embarrassed, "I didn't mean to delay time or break your trust, but the imperial-level skills and combat skills are the supreme secrets of my Nangong royal family. Unless I ascend to the throne of God, I have no right to show them to you."
read!"
"Understood!"
Regarding Nangong Qin's answer, Ye Chen seemed to have expected it and did not overly embarrass the other party.
Although Nangong Qin's statement suggests that he was tied to a pirate ship.
But he had to admit that Nangong Qin probably didn't lie to him.
Emperor-level martial arts and combat skills are already the best in the world, and no family or force will spread them easily.
Even if Nangong Qin is the fifth prince, he should not be able to use it for outsiders like him to observe and practice.
"Brother Ye, are you planning to join the National Preceptor's Office?"
Nangong Qin didn't know what he thought of, and there was a hint of fanatical expectation in his eyes.
"Yes, what's the problem?"
Ye Chen asked back.
"No, no!"
Nangong Qin hurriedly shook his head, "Brother Ye, with your knowledge in alchemy, it shouldn't be difficult to join the Imperial Preceptor's Office. And if you can hold a pivotal position in the Imperial Preceptor's Office, you might be able to become our contender."
A great help to the throne!"
"Let's talk about it then!"
Ye Chen said something casually and went out.
But before leaving, he turned back to Nangong Mingyue and Nangong Qin and said: "By the way, please comfort His Highness. With his mentality, I'm worried that he will make some extreme decisions, which will cause irreparable consequences!
"
"Okay, we will try our best to comfort my second brother!"
As soon as Nangong Mingyue's voice fell, Nangong Qin also said: "Don't worry, leave this place to us!"
Ye Chen nodded, said no more, and quickly left the second prince's mansion.
…
Not long after, we arrived at the gate of the Imperial Prefecture.
People come and go here, and it’s very lively.
Most of the people were wearing clothes with alchemist badges, and they all looked proud.
It seems that being able to enter and leave the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion is a symbol of identity and status, and one is superior to others.
But in fact, it is!
Anyone who is qualified to enter and leave the Imperial Prefect's Mansion is either a powerful person from various parties, or an alchemist with extremely high alchemy skills.
"stop!"
"Please show me your ID!"
Ye Chen was about to enter when he was stopped by two guards.
"good!"
Ye Chen did not refuse, and immediately reached out and touched the space bracelet.
"Woo!"
A dim light appeared, and an alchemist badge appeared in his hand.
"An alchemist from the Southern Region?"
"First-level alchemist?"
After checking Ye Chen's badge, the two guards not only did not stand in awe, but instead had a touch of disdain on their faces.
"What's wrong?"
Ye Chen frowned and said: "I am also an alchemist, and I am also a first-level alchemist in the Southern Region. Am I not allowed to enter the Imperial Master's Mansion?"
"Hmph, except for the alchemists in the Central Region, the alchemists in the four regions, southeast, northwest, no matter how high their level is, are just a bunch of rabble in our eyes!"
One of the guards sarcastically said without any modification: "As for your Southern Region Alchemist Badge, it's just a joke here!"
