I just reached the maximum level, and you want me to be a puppet emperor?

Chapter 114: Just because you can’t deal with him, doesn’t mean I can’t!
After encouraging Xiao Ming, Lin Yue'e rushed to the palace and reported the news to Li Chen.

However, the meeting was not so smooth this time. She waited for a while before Li Chen came to the imperial study.

"According to the news, Lao Er's master is not in his team, so where did his master go?"

Li Chen looked at the map in his hand. He didn't care about the second prince. Instead, the man with unknown origins, Dingtian Shangren, was indeed a bit of a threat.

"Your Majesty, the Second Prince has already returned to the imperial capital, so his master should be back as well. Otherwise, why don't we go to that inn and have a look?"

Lin Yue'e said this because of official business.

Moreover, she felt very honored to be able to work on the case with Li Chen.

It just so happened that Li Chen was also planning to conquer Li Xian's master's wife, so he agreed with Lin Yue'e's opinion.

After changing his clothes, Li Chen left the palace.

It was still the familiar inn. As soon as they arrived here, Li Chen and Lin Yue'e saw something very strange.

There was a man who asked his men to carry a white jade coffin in.

However, it was normal for someone to die in the imperial capital, and Li Chen didn’t think much about it at the time.

Zou Yi didn't know that the person in front of him was the emperor of the time.

Li Chen went here at mealtime and happened to see Fairy Youlan eating inside.

He asked Lin Yue'e to watch, and then he walked to the door of the room where he had placed the recording stone yesterday with ease.

He only needed to use the artery stimulation technique, and a subtle beam of energy would shoot out from the room and be transmitted into another recording stone in his hand. When he returned and played it, he would know what sounds were recorded in the room.

After returning to Piaoxiang Pavilion, Li Chen went straight to the table of Fairy Youlan who was completely unaware of the situation.

"You won't say it was a coincidence today."

Fairy Youlan knew he would come because Li Chen’s look yesterday was too obvious.

But the people in the sky wouldn't let her go out, so she could only eat here.

Every time I show up, I have to face harassment from a lot of men, and it does feel a bit annoying.

However, among these men, Li Chen is relatively pleasing to the eye.

"I'm worried that you'll be lonely. Do you want to go to the lantern festival after dinner?"

Li Chen said as he ordered the dishes.

There are still two days until the spring collection, so he has to find a way to speed up the process, otherwise he will have to force his way through.

In fact, according to Li Chen's idea, the fastest way here is to drink. As long as Fairy Youlan gets drunk, this is still an inn, and things will be easy later.

Unfortunately, Fairy Youlan is at the Saint level. At this level, if she doesn't want to get drunk, she will use her internal energy to dissipate the smell of alcohol.

Li Chen only asked her symbolically if she wanted to drink. After she refused, he never mentioned it again and did not order anything.

However, Lin Yue'e seemed to like drinking, so she ordered two pots.

"Lantern Festival? I don't really like crowded places. Sorry."

Fairy Youlan does prefer quietness, maybe she has gotten used to it.

The two of them just chatted during the meal, and Li Chen made no secret of his admiration for her. Fairy Youlan naturally knew that this man was interested in her, otherwise he would not have come today. But a mature woman is not a little girl, and Li Chen did not make any substantial progress.

After finishing his meal, Li Chen left the inn. He thought that if there was no breakthrough tomorrow, he would take action tomorrow night.

Not long after Li Chen left, Master Dingtian returned to the inn.

He reeked of alcohol, apparently having drunk a lot, but he was in high spirits. A saint wouldn't get drunk easily.

In the inn room, Fairy Youlan frowned and said, "How is the matter going? Why do you smell so bad?"

Because there was not only a lot of alcohol on Dingtian Shangren's body, but also the scent of rouge and powder. This time it was very strong, and you could even see some of it on his clothes.

Master Dingtian said nonchalantly: "I had been planning to come back after I met up with Xian'er, but he insisted on holding a welcoming banquet for me. You know he was hiding in that kind of place, but I was just drinking." When Fairy Youlan heard this, she probably understood. You asked me to stay here at home, but you were drinking and having fun outside.

Seeing you like this, those prostitutes served you and you didn't refuse.

As for me, so many men approached me, but I never let anyone get past me.

Fairy Youlan just thought so but didn't say it out loud, thinking that everything would be fine after she finished her work and returned to the meeting.

Then she asked what to do the day after tomorrow, and Dingtian Shangren told her that he had set up the Tianyan Fengshen Formation on the road that the emperor must pass.

At that time, he would activate the formation and trap the emperor inside, so that people outside would not be able to see what was happening inside.

He and Master Yu teamed up to attack the emperor, while Fairy Youlan hid in the dark nearby to provide support in case of any accidents.

Theoretically speaking, there is no need for Fairy Youlan to take action.

When the battle becomes intense, he will take advantage of the emperor's inattention and insert the soul-controlling needle into the emperor's body.

At this time, the acting began.

He and Yu Fuzi pretended to be defeated and fled away.

Then all the civil and military officials thought that Li Chen had won the battle, but in fact, Li Chen had been controlled by him at this time.

A person controlled by the soul needle will do things according to the consciousness of the controller.

He would order Li Chen to complete the Spring Collection and then return to be emperor.

During this time, he could let the emperor kill innocent people indiscriminately and create a bad reputation.

By then, Li Xian would be supported and would find a way to force the emperor to abdicate, and then Li Xian would naturally become the emperor.

The next step, naturally, is to face the attack from the third prince.

The imperial capital is in chaos, and the third prince will definitely be unable to sit still.

When the army attacks, the powerful saints will lurk in the imperial capital and wait for the opportunity to act.

Master Dingtian has even talked about how to deal with the saint in the third prince's camp.

Moreover, before the fighting breaks out in the north, perhaps there will be saints from the Snow Eagle Royal Court to help.

These are the questions that the people in the top heaven are considering.

Master Yu also reminded at that time that the emperor was very powerful and not an ordinary saint, so he must not be careless.

Dingtianshangren thinks, no matter how strong he is, can he be as strong as me?

Just because you can't deal with him doesn't mean I can't.

How can you, a guy who became a Confucian scholar halfway through his cultivation, compare with an orthodox monk?

In his opinion, Li Chen is bound to lose this time.

Master Yu didn't say anything at the time, he just felt that the master in the sky was putting a fuss on his face.

If you can beat Li Chen by then, you can pretend as you please. But if you can't, then you're just looking for excitement.

Anyway, Master Yu is just helping in secret, if the problem is too big, he will just run away.

He was not as confident as Dingtian Shangren. Before the spring search began, he had prepared fourteen ways to escape.

After listening to Master Dingtian, Fairy Youlan said, "Doesn't that mean we have to stay in the imperial capital for a long time?"

"We are also conducting an inspection in the imperial capital. In the future, our sect will definitely open a branch in the imperial capital." Master Dingtian was not concerned about the details. All he had in his eyes was the desire to expand his power.

At the same time, Li Chen, who returned to the palace, did not obtain any valuable information from the recording stone.

At this moment, he did not expect that just when he was about to take action tomorrow night, the most crucial information would come into his hands.
