Long Yunxiao murmured silently in his heart, his face was cold and his eyes were a little gloomy.
Although, he did not see the intimacy between Yunyao and Ji Tianxing.
In the past month or two, he has gradually let go and is trying to forget the obsession in his heart.
However, when he suddenly heard the news that Yunyao and Ji Tianxing were together and hadn't come back for three days and three nights, he still felt uncomfortable and felt very tight in his chest.
After Lan Huixin finished speaking, she secretly watched Long Yunxiao's reaction.
Seeing Long Yunxiao's cold expression and gloomy eyes, she secretly rejoiced, and a smile of success flashed in her eyes.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling a little unwell?"
Lan Huixin showed an expression full of confusion and concern, and quickly took out a handkerchief containing a light body scent to wipe Long Yunxiao's forehead.
Although, there were no beads of sweat on Long Yunxiao's forehead.
But Lan Huixin just wanted to take this opportunity to get close to Long Yunxiao, and maybe she could take advantage of it...
Long Yunxiao came back to his senses, glanced at her indifferently, turned and left.
Lan Hui was stunned for a moment, her slender hand holding the handkerchief stopped in mid-air, her expression slightly stiff.
However, she immediately returned to normal and put the handkerchief away.
Seeing the guard guarding the door staring at her with a strange expression, she snorted coldly, turned around and entered the door with a slender waist.
While walking on the wide and clean road, she was still thinking secretly: "Humph, judging from the emperor's reaction, it is obvious that he still has lingering feelings for Yunyao.
As long as he comes to Yunyao often, I can see him often. Moreover, I will make him more and more disappointed with Yunyao.
Once he has completely given up on Yunyao, I will be able to find an opportunity to take advantage of it..."
Thinking of this, Lan Huixin's pretty face showed a smile, and her heart was filled with expectations and longing.
…
Three days flew by.
On the evening of the fourth day, Ji Tianxing and Yunyao returned to Zhongzhou City and the Emperor's Mansion.
Yunyao did not return to her cave, but went to Tianxing Palace with Ji Tianxing.
When the two returned to Tianxing Palace, Yan'er and Ji Ke were already waiting.
Ji Tianxing led everyone and Qian Yue into his study, preparing to discuss a major matter.
"I have something to announce to everyone. This time Yaoyao and I went to Yunling Palace. We have reached an agreement with the Yun family and reached cooperation. We will join hands to deal with the Duanmu family."
Ji Ke and Yan'er both looked shocked and incredulous.
But both of them knew that Ji Tianxing must have something important to announce, so they temporarily suppressed their surprise and doubts and did not speak.
Ji Tianxing said with a solemn expression: "I killed Duanmu Yulong and forged a deep hatred with the Duanmu family. They will definitely take revenge.
Before, I was protected by the authority of the Imperial Court, and the Duanmu family did not dare to act rashly. Now that I am in the Imperial Palace, the Duanmu family has no chance to make a move.
However, the Duanmu family will never be able to tolerate it any longer. Once they find an opportunity, they will definitely kill me.
This time, I will not sit still and wait for the Duanmu family to come to kill me."
Ji Ke was stunned for a moment, then frowned and asked: "Brother Tianxing, do you want to take the initiative?"
Ji Tianxing nodded and said: "That's right! If I defend passively, no matter how careful I am, there will inevitably be mistakes.
When fighting against a behemoth like the Duanmu family, any negligence may put us in jeopardy.
Instead of doing this, I might as well take the initiative, look for opportunities bit by bit, and gradually bring down the Duanmu family!"
Yunyao, Ji Ke and Yan'er, after thinking for a moment, all nodded in agreement.
Ji Tianxing looked at Yun Yao and said, "Yao Yao, the Yun family has been in contact with the Duanmu family for thousands of years, so you should know the situation of the Duanmu family very well.
You can tell us a bit about the Duanmu family's situation, and I can be prepared."
Yunyao nodded and said solemnly: "The Duanmu family is located in Qingmu City in the Manggu Forest. That area is rich in various rare medicinal materials and is the largest natural medicine garden on the mainland.
The Duanmu family is good at refining elixirs, and there are many outstanding alchemy masters in the family.
Nearly half of the elixir business in Zhongzhou Continent is controlled by the Duanmu family.
Therefore, the wealth and resources accumulated by the Duanmu family over the past thousand years have reached an unfathomable level.
My father once said that the Duanmu family's financial resources are enough to support three to five soul-refining realm experts.
However, there are only two known soul-refining experts in the Duanmu family so far."
Hearing this, Ji Tianxing raised his eyebrows and asked: "There are actually two strong soul refiners in the Duanmu family?"
Yunyao nodded and said: "Yes, the current head of the family, Duan Muhuang, is a strong man in the soul refining realm.
In addition, the Duanmu family also has an ancestor who has not been seen for three hundred years and is also a strong soul refiner.
Above Duanmuhuang, there are several Supreme Elders, all of whom are powerful men at the top of Tianyuan Realm.
Those Supreme Elders were very senior and basically ignored worldly matters and concentrated on attacking the Soul Refining Realm.
Duanmu Huang also has four brothers, all of whom hold the position of elder, and their strength has reached the seventh level of Tianyuan Realm or above. They are in charge of the elixir business in various major regions.
In the Zhongzhou Continent, basically every city has a medicine shop and an elixir pavilion of the Duanmu family, all of which are guarded by powerful Tianyuan men."
Ji Tianxing frowned and thought for a moment, then said in a solemn tone: "So, the number of Tianyuan powerhouses that the Duanmu family can mobilize is unimaginable?"
Yunyao nodded solemnly, "In addition to the Tianyuan experts led by the Duanmu family, there are many first-rate and second-rate forces that are attached to the Duanmu family and are vassals of the Duanmu family.
Those first- and second-rate forces are spread all over Zhongzhou, and they come from all races. Although they don’t pose much of a threat, they are very difficult to deal with."
Ji Tianxing waved his hand and said: "Whether it is the elders of the Duanmu family or the industries and forces in various places, we should not touch them for the time being.
Yaoyao, you should talk about the situation of the younger generation of the Duanmu family."
"Okay." Yunyao responded and introduced to everyone: "I just said that Duanmu Huang has four brothers, so there are four branches in the Duanmu family.
Among those four branches, the younger generation has more than a dozen children, but most of them are mediocre people.
Among these dozen young disciples, Duanmu Yulong is the most outstanding!
The person second only to Duanmu Yulong is his half-brother, Duanmu Feiyu."
Hearing this, Ji Tianxing's eyes flashed with light, he nodded and said, "Okay, let me introduce this Duanmu Feiyu in detail."
Yunyao thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Duanmu Feiyu was born to Duanmu Huang's second wife.
This man is in his twenties, his strength has reached the second level of Tianyuan Realm, and he seems to have plans to join the emperor's palace.
However, Duanmu Feiyu was a frivolous and dissolute person, he did not have much wealth, and he was not as calm and sophisticated as Duanmu Yulong.
This person likes to spend the day and night drinking and looking for flowers and willows. He is a famous dandy in Zhongzhou City..."
