“Bang-”
Di Zhe slapped his hand on the tea table beside him and ground out through his teeth, “That Ghost Concubine! I’ll kill her one day!”
“Master, let’s talk about the Ghost Concubine later. Right now, the Young Miss’s situation isn’t good.” Di Liu said, “Reports came from upstairs saying that there have already been multiple attempts to assassinate the Young Miss.”
“Ghost Concubine has been up to a lot lately, keep an eye on her. Di Liu, come with me and take some men with us. I want to see who dares to lay a hand on my cousin!” Di Zhe waved his hand as his sleeves fanned out with a gust of wind.
“But Master, if you don’t hold the fort here, we might not be able to hold back Ghost Concubine.” Di Yi stepped forwards to say.
He was in charge of assisting Di Zhe in settling the things here and was the clearest on the current situation. Ghost Concubine had been busy lately and many of their secret operations had been dug out. A few indecisive powers had also flocked under her banner because of her recent activities.
“That’s right, Master. Although it’s a little dangerous over at Young Miss’ side, the situation here is even more urgent.” Di Er stepped forward to say as well. They really liked the Dark Princess, but they had never interacted with Sima You Yue before after all and did not have any feelings towards her. Although they felt like it was important to ensure her safety, when they compared it to the current situation, they wanted Di Zhe to stay in the Imperial Capital to oversee things.
“Master, the Dynasty Competition is going to begin in less than a year. Many Dukes have brought their people here. If we let Ghost Concubine grasp the opportunity first at this point in time and pull them over to her side, our camp will be much weaker.” Di San spoke up as well. “Also, the other Princes are unsettled as well. Although Ghost Concubine is suppressed, she is still apparently moving. If you leave the Imperial Capital at this time, it would really be an insensible act!”
“If anything happens to You Yue, then all my efforts for all these years would have been in vain!” Di Zhe raged at his own loyal subordinates. Their approach was better, but their expressions were still deeply terrified. He glanced over at Master Ghost who had remained silent the entire time and said, “Master Ghost, what do you say?”
Only after he was pointed out did Master Ghost raise his head. However, his face was covered by his cloak and could not be seen clearly.
“I can understand how much you dote on Sima You Yue, and know that her situation is rather difficult. However, based on the current situation, it would not be much use for you to head over there.” Master Ghost said slowly. When he saw that Di Zhe was about to rage again, he raised a hand to stop him from speaking. He continued, “Also, you are not the one who is the most suitable to go to her.”
“I am not suitable? Could you be asking Mo Yu to go?” Di Zhe asked.
Master Ghost shook his head, “Lord Mo Yu is inextricably linked to Ghost Concubine in the eyes of others. Also, he is not currently in the capital.”
“Then who are you talking about?” Di Zhe did not know who else had a relationship with Sima You Yue that would be willing to protect her at this point in time.
“Master, you forgot. Young Miss has other close relatives. There is one who particularly cares for her.” Master Ghost reminded him.
“Are you talking about.. Grandfather?” Because Sima You Yue did not agree to it before, Di Zhe did not think about telling Ghost King about her at all since he returned. “But Grandfather is in seclusion and has not come out for a long time. It’s precisely because of this that Ghost Concubine has been running wild lately.”
“It’s not like Ghost King is in strict seclusion. As long as you tell him about Sima You Yue, if he cares about Dark Princess, then he will go.” Master Ghost said.
“But… what if he doesn’t?” Di Zhe didn’t trust Ghost King completely.
“You can let Di Liu take men with him first. If the King does not head over, we can protect Young Miss as well.” Master Ghost said, “As for what happened that year, we are still uncertain what King’s attitude is. We can take the opportunity to see where he stands.”
“But…” Di Zhe still did not believe it.
“Master, based on King’s character, even if he doesn’t go to look for Young Miss, he will not kill her either.” Master Ghost was still certain about this, “Also, you have also said it before that Young Miss had some reservations about King. If King can take this opportunity to see her, it might be a good chance to break the ice.”
Di Zhe hesitated for a moment before standing up to say, “Di Liu, bring some men with you and locate Sima You Yue. You must ensure her safety at all costs. I will head to the palace for a while to tell Grandfather about this!”
However, it was not so easy to enter the royal palace. Those who were keeping guard outside were all Ghost Concubine’s men. No matter for what reason one wanted to look for Ghost King, the other party would not let him enter. To those who blocked his way, Di Zhe merely huffed icily and directly killed the two of them.
“I think I have been silent for too long that you have forgotten my name!”
After tossing down this sentence, the other guards did not block him all the way to where Ghost King was in seclusion.
“Great General, he is currently in seclusion and has said that he does not wish to see anyone.” The one who came out this time was the King’s direct subordinate. Even if it was Di Zhe, he did not dare to kill him so casually.
“Please inform Grandfather that I require him for some matters!” Di Zhe even gave them a somewhat courteous bow.
“Great General, King has said that he does not wish to see anyone.” The guard continued to stand where he was, and he had no intentions to enter to report this information.
“If you so insist, then do not blame me for not being courteous!” Di Zhe was worried for Sima You Yue’s safety and naturally had no care for these people who blocked his way. He had already announced his intentions kindly earlier on. If they continued to disagree, then he would not mind using force!
“Great General, we are the King’s direct guards!” They were naturally aware of what was happening outside, but they were different from those outside!
“Master, you cannot.” Di Yi pulled on Di Zhe who was about to explode and shook his head at him.
Di Zhe looked at Di Yi, then turned to look at those two guards again. He pursed his lips, then yelled towards the inside, “Grandfather, I came to tell you about You Yue. People are currently hunting her down…”
After he finished speaking, the tightly shut doors opened and a voice sounded from inside, “Enter.”
By the time Ghost Concubine received the news and rushed over, she merely saw the back of Di Zhe as he entered the doors and slowly closed them behind him.
This was the first time that Di Zhe had entered the Ghost King’s cultivation area. He had no heart to appraise the scenery and just followed him along to where the Ghost King cultivated.
Ghost King looked around the same size as Di Zhe, but when he opened his tightly shut eyes, a wave of pressure was released.
“You said that people are hunting You Yue down?” Ghost King asked.
“Yes.”
“Are you still paying attention to things over in the Human Realm?”
“Grandfather, You Yue has already come to the Ghost Realm.” Di Zhe saw that Ghost King had furrowed his eyebrows and pursed his lips, saying, “You Yue has already been in the Ghost Realm for a few years, and is doing well. Recently, her identity has been revealed and many powers are hunting her down. Based on what I know, there have been more than ten attempts at her life.”
“I actually didn’t know that she had arrived in the Ghost Realm?” Ghost King stared at him as he said slowly, his voice revealing neither like nor dislike.
