Evil of all ages

Chapter 190 Bullying an honest person

She originally thought that the Ghost King was only powerful within the Heavenly Prison and could not leave it.

Now we see that this Huang Mansion, comparable to a royal palace, was built in just ten days.

Then I saw four Grandmasters and so many Innate Realm experts come to drink the wedding wine.

She then realized that even though the Ghost King couldn't leave the South City Prison, his power could still influence people and events outside.

Suddenly, she felt a surge of joy.

Knowing that her father's days were numbered, she deeply reminded herself that she was not yet fully prepared and that she should be patient and wait for the next opportunity.

Now we see that the son of the Ghost King possesses this power.

If the son of the Ghost King supports her, she doesn't need to ask everyone here for help; she can just ask one or two Grandmasters to endorse her.

Furthermore, given her husband's prestige, even if he doesn't support her, he will definitely have Elder Shi watch over her to prevent her from dying.

That should secure the outcome.

The more she thought about it, the more excited she became.

However, she also knew that it was the wedding day of the Ghost King's son, and it was not appropriate to bring up this matter with him today; it had to wait until after today.

"Here, here, your location is here."

Wei Qianlan pointed to several empty tables on the right and shouted to Di Qingtian and the others.

After shouting, she went to the table at the very front where the four people were sitting.

"Grandpa Shi, your seat is here."

Wei Qianlan pointed to the only empty chair left on the table and shouted to Old Shi.

Upon hearing Wei Qianlan call him Grandpa Shi, a smile involuntarily appeared on Grandpa Shi's face.

"Master"

Just as he was about to walk over, he heard his apprentice call out to him.

"understood"

He turned around and met his apprentice's eyes.

Without needing to communicate verbally, he knew his disciple wanted him to understand the identities of these four supreme masters.

Seeing that his master had already taken his seat, Di Qingtian led the others to sit at the empty tables that Wei Qianlan pointed out.

"May I ask where the four of you are from?"

Old Shi assumed that the four of them had disguised themselves and did not want others to know their identities, so he confirmed their identities by asking where they were from.

Upon hearing this, Bai Donglai's expression turned strange; these words sounded so familiar.

Oh yeah, he asked that question too.

Ye Wuji: "The capital city"

Luo Sanxiao: "The Capital"

Third person: "Beijing"

Upon hearing that familiar answer again, Bai Donglai's lips twitched slightly.

"Capital"

But he still answered that he was from the capital.

When Shi Lao heard that all four of them answered that they were from the capital, he thought the same as Bai Donglai had before: he didn't believe a word of it.

"You four all know each other?"

"Old Shi asked."

Bai Donglai was extremely frustrated; he didn't know what to say.

Is it appropriate for Mr. Shi to imitate his way of speaking?
In front of him, I almost repeated everything he had said before.

That's pretty embarrassing!

"Did I say something wrong?"

When Shi Lao noticed that everyone else was silent, he looked at Bai Donglai because of the change in his expression.

"I don't know any of those three people."

"Besides, I didn't disguise myself; this is my real appearance."

"And I'm not lying to you. I really am from the capital. My surname is Bai, my given name is Donglai, and I'm an ordinary schoolteacher in the north of the city."

When Bai Donglai found out, he kept asking about their identities, since he had already been tricked.

Even if I don't say anything, people will know his name the next day; he teaches in the north of the city.

Why not just say it out loud and get Mr. Shi's attention to the other three?

"Although I rarely leave the imperial prison, I have lived in the capital since birth, and I have been in the capital for nearly 60 years."

"Over the years, although I do not interfere in external affairs, in the capital, as long as a martial arts expert who is expected to break through to the Grandmaster realm appears..."

"I will keep an eye on it."

Why was I unaware of your existence?

Mr. Shi questioned.

Bai Donglai was even more speechless upon hearing this. How come no one believed him when he told the truth?

Also, he said he had already said it, so why were they still targeting him?

Are you taking advantage of his honesty?
However, considering that Shi Lao doesn't have many years left to live, if you provoke this kind of person, and he drags you down with him, that would truly be a wrongful death.

"Master Shi, there are many secrets in the capital. Some people like to show them off, while others prefer to keep them hidden."

"I like to keep a low profile, so it's normal that many people don't know I exist."

Bai Donglai replied gently.

"Oh, didn't you say you preferred to keep a low profile? Why are you revealing yourself now?"

"Old Shi asked."

"I got scammed." Bai Donglai was exhausted and didn't want to answer anymore, so he simply replied, "I got scammed."

Seeing that Bai Donglai looked very depressed, Shi Lao stopped pressuring him.

If you push him too far, you'll provoke him.

Not good.

This is the Huang residence, and the Ghost King is still watching over it.

Disrupting the marriage of the Ghost King's son is no small matter.

Even if he is Di Qingtian's master, and the Ghost King's son marries Di Qingtian's sister, the Ghost King probably won't let him off easily.

He stopped asking Bai Donglai and turned to look at the other three Grandmasters.

However, these three were seasoned veterans. No matter what he asked, they either remained silent or stood together, leaving him helpless.

"Are you two officials?"

After pondering for a moment, Shi Lao looked at Ye Wuji and the third person and asked.

Upon hearing this, Ye Wuji and the third person did not change their expressions, but they were both slightly startled.

"Why do you say we're people from the imperial court?"

Ye Wuji knew that sometimes silence was a form of acquiescence and acceptance.

Although asking questions might arouse the other party's suspicion, suspicion is suspicion; without evidence, it's not a big deal.

They were not afraid that the Old Man of Time would suddenly attack and tear off their human skin masks.

Today is their master's wedding. Even if Old Shi is senile, he wouldn't be foolish enough to cause trouble here.

Moreover, they weren't just one person, but three people.

One-on-one, they might not dare to fight Old Shi, who only has a few years left to live, but three people could definitely capture him alive.

It's impossible to tear off their masks through a sneak attack.

"Because the aura of a person from the martial arts world and a person in officialdom is different."

"You all give me the impression of being seasoned officials."

Neither Ye Wuji nor the third person responded to these words, it was unclear whether they acquiesced or disregarded Elder Shi's words.

Old Shi wanted to say something more, but then the wedding procession returned.

He thought the Grandmaster would just sit there and wouldn't go around creating a festive atmosphere to welcome the newcomer home like the others, but he was wrong.

The three Grandmasters were faster than anyone else.

Even Bai Donglai, seeing this, ran over to act as a tool to create atmosphere.

This made Shi Lao doubt himself. The Grandmaster level was supposed to be high above, so how did it become so cheap now?

Although the son of the Ghost King is different, it's not enough for a Grandmaster-level expert to lower himself and send such enthusiastic blessings.

And so, he stared blankly as the newlyweds completed the wedding ceremony amidst everyone's blessings.

After Huang Taichu escorted his wife into the bridal chamber, he came out to toast everyone. Halfway through the toasting, Di Qingtian pulled him to a corner.

"Can they hear us when we speak?"

Di Qingtian knew that at this distance, it would be easy for a Xiantian expert to eavesdrop on their conversation.

He didn't want anyone else to hear his conversation with Huang Taichu.

"They can't hear."

Huang Taichu understood Di Qingtian's meaning, so he isolated this space to prevent anyone from hearing their conversation.

"Could they be other leaders of the Azure Dragon Society?"

Di Qingtian looked at the four grandmasters and asked Huang Taichu.

"How is that possible? You are the only one who knows that I am the Ghost King and the Black Emperor of the Azure Dragon Society."

"No one else knows my true identity, including the other dragon leaders."

"How could I possibly invite them?"

Huang Taichu smiled.

"Including Li Xunhuan?"

Di Qingtian asked.

"Um...that doesn't include that. He and I are the same kind of people, and he knows me."

Huang Taichu said.

"Among the four Grandmaster-level experts, is one of them Li Xunhuan in disguise?"

Di Qingtian knew that everyone in the world wanted to find Li Xunhuan, and Li Xunhuan's appearance here would definitely cause a great sensation.

It's normal for Li Xunhuan to come to Huang Taichu's wedding banquet knowing Huang's identity.

Perhaps they've already arrived, and they're among those four.

He didn't come.

Huang Taichu said calmly.

"not coming?"

"Who are those four Grandmaster-level experts?"

Di Qingtian frowned and asked.

"You're not the world's number one detective, but you can still investigate."

After saying this, Huang Taichu went back to offer toasts.

"Hmph, you've already stolen my sister away, and you still act so arrogant towards your brother-in-law. I'll get you drunk."

Di Qingtian went off to get some wine.

Try to get Huang Taichu drunk so that he won't be able to consummate his marriage tonight and will not bully his sister.
