Transmigrated Villain: All the Female Leads are Reincarnated

Chapter 42 The protagonist's halo still works; a stroke of luck falls from the sky.

"Thank you, young master!"

Xia Yuning was greatly surprised that she was actually willing to stay.

I thought it was just wishful thinking, but I didn't expect to give her the opportunity. Could it be that she has really developed some interest in me?

But thinking about it, it seems impossible. So much time has passed, and I haven't had those kinds of thoughts about myself at all!

If she really put her mind to it, she probably wouldn't be able to escape either Luo Yin or Qiu Ya.

After all, they are just maids now, and it is only natural for them to serve their masters.

"Young master, then I—"

"Go and deal with the royal family matters first."

Chu Yu said calmly, "There is a high possibility that a traitor has appeared within the royal family."

Xia Yuning had previously eliminated many members of the royal collateral branches, but there may still be some who are deeply hidden.

Their attack on the imperial palace's treasury and the theft of the Heavenly Life-Extending Pill may be motivated by revenge.

Furthermore, the Heavenly Life-Extending Pill will most likely still fall into Xiao Ye's hands, since it is an opportunity that belongs to Xiao Ye.

There might be some hidden plot points involved, which is what interests him now.

Hidden plot points often imply other opportunities, and even if they aren't really opportunities, it's still worth taking a look.

"Thank you, young master!"

Xia Yuning said gratefully, and then left the inn.

"You guys want to go too?"

Judging from Luo Yin and Qiu Ya's expressions, they seemed to want to follow Xia Yuning's lead.

"Go."

"yes!"

Luo Yin and Qiu Ya left decisively. After all, they were both from the Samsara Palace, and they should help each other, which would also benefit them.

"Holy Son, they've all left. Should we keep an eye on them?"

Xiao Shengyun inquired, "Luo Yin and Xia Yuning have a big problem. I always feel that they have ill intentions towards the Holy Son."

The safety of the Holy Son cannot be compromised, otherwise he would be a sinner of the entire Supreme Holy Sect!

Chu Yu shook his head and calmly said, "Don't worry, nothing will happen."

Xiao Shengyun hesitated, but then thought of Chu Yu's strategy, and ultimately said nothing.

Qingzhou is now entirely under the control of the Holy Son. As for the entire Nine Provinces Realm, the Holy Son has already planned many things, so nothing should go wrong.

Besides, with these protectors by his side, there's a high probability that nothing bad will happen.

Xia Yuning led the two women to the Imperial Palace. This time, they had to find the last traitor and ensure that the Great Xia Dynasty could remain stable after she left.

Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to rest easy even after leaving.

Meanwhile, in an old house in another alley in the capital, Xiao Ye was preparing to leave the capital for the Snow Cloud Mountains.

His adoptive father instructed him to go to the Snow Cloud Mountains, so he had to go; there was an opportunity for him there!

Just as he was about to leave, a figure suddenly burst into the house.

"Who is it?"

Xiao Ye's expression changed slightly. He suddenly stood up and was about to make a move when the man was already lying on the ground.

Xiao Ye frowned slightly. Wearing night clothes in broad daylight, he must not be a good person.

But what's going on now?

Upon closer inspection, blood was still seeping from beneath the person, indicating that they had suffered serious injuries.

I went over to take a look, and lo and behold, it was already dead!

"He's dead already?"

Xiao Ye frowned. It was really bad luck that a dead person had fallen into his life.

But he still did a quick search, hoping to find clues about the other person's identity.

However, instead of finding clues about their identities, they found a gilded white jade bottle.

"This is... the Heavenly Secret Life-Extending Pill?"

Pour out the contents of the bottle, and a rich medicinal aroma wafts out. Upon closer inspection of the bottle, the words "Heavenly Secrets for Life Extension" are clearly written on it.

Without a doubt, this is the Heavenly Secret Life-Extending Pill!

This situation left Xiao Ye somewhat bewildered.

Originally, when he saw that his adoptive father didn't intend to take the Heavenly Secret Life-Extending Pill, he thought that he didn't have any grudges with the royal family of the Great Xia Dynasty, so he was too lazy to try to seize the Heavenly Secret Life-Extending Pill.

But now the Heavenly Life-Extending Pill has fallen right in front of him. It seems like the heavens are forcibly giving him this opportunity.

Although they had the opportunity, they still doubted the person's identity.

It seems that the other party stole the Heavenly Life-Extending Pill, which means they broke into the Imperial Palace's treasury!

This is not a good thing.

Because someone is definitely investigating this person, and if the investigation leads back to me, then I'll be in big trouble!

Thinking of this, he took out some medicinal powder from his storage ring and sprinkled it on the man in black.

White smoke hissed from the man in black, and in the blink of an eye, the corpse had turned into a puddle of clear water.

Destroying the body and covering up the evidence is the best course of action!

After disposing of the body, he quickly left the yard.

Since someone is chasing that man in black, they will likely find the courtyard soon. If we don't leave now, there might be a misunderstanding, which would make things even more troublesome!

Sure enough, not long after he left, the royal family found the old house.

Xia Yuning led her people in and rushed in, but after searching inside and out, they still couldn't find anything.

When she finally stopped in the yard, a puddle of water on the ground aroused her suspicion.

"This mark—"

I crouched down to take a look and saw some faint medicinal powder next to the water.

She was very familiar with these powders; she had seen them in the storyline.

"Invisible powder? Xiao Ye!"

Xia Yuning gritted her teeth. The presence of the invisible powder here meant that the person who stole the Heavenly Secret Life-Extending Pill had been here and that Xiao Ye had used the invisible powder to destroy the evidence.

In other words, Xiao Ye may have committed murder and robbery, or had someone steal the Heavenly Secret Life-Extending Pill, and then killed him to cover it up!

"It seems to be an invisible powder. Should we pursue it directly?"

Luo Yin frowned slightly. Judging from the current situation, it was highly likely that Xiao Ye had committed the crime.

Although it's difficult to convict someone based solely on the invisible powder, finding the person might allow them to complete their mission ahead of schedule.

"We have to chase him! We can't let him get away!"

Xia Yuning was so angry she felt like her lungs were about to explode, and her breasts were aching.

According to the plot, Xiao Ye obtaining the Heavenly Secret Life-Extending Pill was indeed quite dramatic, so she had made arrangements beforehand and tampered with some things in the Imperial Palace Treasury.

But unexpectedly, Xiao Ye still managed to get his hands on the Heavenly Life-Extending Pill!

Whether Xiao Ye did it on purpose or not, he is definitely involved in this matter.

"Search the entire city; don't overlook any clues!"

"yes!"

The royal guards quickly agreed. Although the princess had become a maid to the owner of Luoyun Manor, her status within the royal family had risen even higher, and she might even become the empress.

In today's court, more than half of the ministers obey the orders of the eldest princess!

"Xiao Ye has left the city?"

Inside the post station, although Chu Yu did not investigate, someone would send him information at any time.

"Yes, Young Master Xiao Ye has already left the capital. Before leaving, he sent a message through the Heavenly Net that he has obtained the Heavenly Life-Extending Pill."

"Oh? He stole the Heavenly Secret Life-Extending Pill?"

"No, that's not it. Young Master Xiao Ye was preparing to leave the city today when suddenly a man in black entered his house and died. The Heavenly Life-Extending Pill was found on the man in black."

Chu Yu: "6

"What a plot twist! It's really amazing. Heaven just handed Xiao Ye this opportunity directly. He had no choice but to accept it."

"Good, good, good. Have you found the person who stole the Heavenly Secret Life-Extending Pill?"
