Fairy, please step aside, I've taken a liking to your man.

Vanka looked at Rogge, his eyes filled with ruthlessness: "If he's confirmed to be a spy, send him to his death in the first batch after he arrives on Qiyuan Star. If not, then train him well. Qiyuan Star needs a powerful swordsman like him to expand our Rota Kingdom's territory."

Roger responded and left.

……

Three days later, the Xuan Yuan Empire issued a notice announcing the cracking of three murder cases that occurred some time ago: Leng Yan of the Burial Sword Manor, the former Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and the Ambassador of the Western Sai Kingdom. The notice stated that the deaths of the three were caused by the unorganized acceptance of joint employment by the Eastern Island, the Western Sai Kingdom, and the Luota Kingdom, and that the culprits behind it were these three countries.

In an instant, the previously settled development agreement for Qiyuan Star was overturned.

Countries have once again fallen into endless accusations and wrangling.

……

"Is Second Brother locked up in solitary confinement?"

The sixth princess sat in her palace, watching the birds flying overhead, a look of envy flashing in her eyes.

"He was confined for ten years and forbidden from leaving the palace. Consort Zhen was also reprimanded by the Empress."

Qi Rui stood to the side, telling the Sixth Princess about what had happened in the palace in the past few days.

"What's been going on with that Li Bai lately?"

Qi Rui suppressed a laugh: "He continues to drink and dine every day. It is said that the Kingdom of Luota rewarded him with ten female cultivators who had reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining and one female cultivator who had reached the early stage of Foundation Establishment. They also gave him that so-called number one concubine of the Eastern Island and number one rouge horse of the Western Sai Kingdom. Every day, he takes 13 female subordinates and wanders around the Luota Club."

"snort!"

The Sixth Princess snorted coldly, then turned her gaze back to the case files on the table: "So, who exactly killed that girl?"

Shen Bai also had the same question.

Over the past few days, Shen Bai has become increasingly familiar with Rogge and has gradually come into contact with some of Rogge's secrets, slowly understanding why he was framed in the first place.

Now that things have been exposed, Roger no longer hides it from Shen Bai.

……

In fact, Leng Yan of the Burial Sword Manor and the ambassador of the Western Sai Kingdom were both contacted by the Luo Ta Kingdom, who had no way to reach them, while the former Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue was contacted by the Second Prince through Qian, the ambassador of the Western Sai Kingdom.

With the Third Prince dead and the Fourth Prince deposed, the struggle between the Crown Prince and the Second Prince became clear. The Second Prince originally intended to take this opportunity to sow discord between the Crown Prince and suppress the increasingly popular Sixth Princess.

Who would have thought that Shen Bai's unconventional actions would inadvertently lead to his involvement in the purge of the unorganized group, after which things became clear.

When the Second Prince learned that the Nascent Soul cultivator who went to the scene of the massacre was none other than the Child Granny, he was so angry that he almost smashed the palace and cursed the Kingdom of Xisai for being utterly hopeless.

This time, not only did they fail to steal the chicken but they also lost the rice instead, and their sore spot was exposed.

It's going to be too difficult to make a good impression on the Emperor now.

……

Shen Bai was also speechless at the ridiculous actions of the Emperor's sons. Their methods were simplistic and unsophisticated, and they were easily traced back to their source.

It wasn't that the Fourth Prince and the Second Prince were stupid, but rather that they encountered Shen Bai, a troublemaker with special abilities.

The Fourth Prince's plan to kill his brothers would have been flawless had it not been for Shen Bai's repeated sabotage.

Even though it was disrupted midway, the demonic cultivators and the spirit-suppressing array helped them when they left the secret realm. This backup plan was perfect, but in the end, Shen Bai still managed to eliminate it with a single teleportation.

Even though the cost was high, the rule-level skill still broke the deadlock.

The same applies to the Second Prince framing Shen Bai. Who would have thought that Shen Bai would tarnish his own reputation by playing the role of a dissolute genius sword cultivator?

He slept with courtesans from all over the world, just to get a last chance to turn the tables?

Shen Bai found a breakthrough so quickly this time not only because of his own efforts and hard work, but also because of a lot of good luck, plus the most important part: he won over the Sixth Princess.

The Sixth Princess's decision to send Tong Lao to the rescue without hesitation was the key to solving this serial murder case. If it had been a Nascent Soul True Monarch, even Gu Zheng True Monarch, they wouldn't have been able to catch so many people involved.

Now that everyone has been caught red-handed, the three countries are unable to defend themselves, because no matter how much they try to deny it, they cannot erase the fact that they were all present at the scene.

So many things weren't due to the two princes acting carelessly, but rather because they encountered a sixth prince with special abilities.

……

With everything settled, Shen Bai did not rush back to the Holy Academy.

He wasn't lusting after these female cultivators.

In fact, these female cultivators are all very simple-minded. They are female concubines trained by the Kingdom of Rota specifically to serve the powerful and wealthy. Because they have signed a contract, they would never betray Shen Bai. The Kingdom of Rota is quite open about this.

What Shen Bai wants to understand now is the rape and murder case of that girl, which was not mentioned in the Night Fiend Hall's report.

Therefore, Shen Bai can confirm that there is still one party involved in this incident that has not yet come to light.

This inevitably reminded him of the incident when the Third Prince was killed.

The Third Prince was also killed by an unorganized group, while the Fourth Prince has always denied sending anyone to kill the Third Prince, saying that his target from beginning to end was the Ninth Prince.

No one believed him, but Shen Bai remained cautious.

"Could it be that there's still a group of unorganized members in the capital?"

While enjoying the tender service of Meimei, a female cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage, Shen Bai tried to unravel the mystery from the various events and find the source behind it all.

In terms of the outcome, who benefited the most from the killing of the Third Prince?

The second prince, fourth prince, sixth princess, and ninth prince are all possibilities. The fifth princess, seventh prince, and eighth prince usually don't show their true colors, but they are also suspects.

The Crown Prince is the least likely suspect.

Of these princes and princesses, the only one who is certain to have contact with the Second Prince is Wu You, but this time he was only given a minor punishment, indicating that the death of the Third Prince should have nothing to do with him.

Shen Bai trusts the Sixth Princess completely, and this series of murders has had a huge impact on her, so she can be excluded.

Next were the Fifth Princess, the Seventh Prince, the Eighth Prince, and the Ninth Prince. The Ninth Prince was still young and had always acted very kind, but Shen Bai did not ignore him.

How could royalty possibly be so naive and innocent?

However, his gaze fell upon the Fifth Princess, the Seventh Prince, and the Eighth Prince, whom he had never met before.

Are these three also restless individuals?

Shen Bai had a headache. Royal affairs were really troublesome. Why couldn't you all just peacefully seek the Great Dao and immortality?

Aren't you tired of constantly doing all sorts of things every day?

Thinking of this, Shen Bai got up from the soft couch.

Meimei leaned on his shoulder, her breath sweet and fragrant: "Master, do you want to go out?"

Shen Bai snorted, "Being cooped up in the house all day, unable to go anywhere, don't you think it's annoying?"

"I'm not bothered. I'm content as long as I can serve you every day."

With her blonde hair and fair skin, Meimei had received rigorous training and naturally knew how to please Shen Bai. After thinking for a moment, Shen Bai contacted Roger: "Has the storm still passed?"

Rogge also complained bitterly: "Let's bear with it a little longer. The Qiyuan Star development agreement needs to be renegotiated. At least let the big shots finish their negotiations before we go out and have fun."

Unable to look away, Shen Bai turned his gaze to his superior, Vanka.

Vanka's identity is that of a consul at the Rota Guild. Her external duties include handling the daily affairs of the Rota Guild, while internally she is the coordinator of special tasks for the Rota Guild. Her status and position are extremely important.

"Miss Vanka, I have some questions about swordsmanship and would like to ask you for guidance."

In the vast world of cultivation, you can't just ask someone out for a meal.

Because Golden Core cultivators don't need to eat, people often use the excuse of cultivation to start dates.

"I'm not good at kendo!"

Vanka was having a real headache with this new subordinate who had been constantly hanging around in front of him lately.

Thirteen female cultivators aren't enough for you?

How dare she try to seduce me?

Don't you even look at your cultivation level? A sword cultivator in the early Foundation Establishment stage? Who gave you the courage?

"If you're not good at swordsmanship, you can practice martial arts. Coincidentally, my cultivation has recently advanced to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, but I don't quite understand the subsequent cultivation methods. I would appreciate it if Miss Vanka could help me answer my questions."

Shen Bai didn't care at all about the other party's aloof attitude, and instead kept trying to get close to him.

"Mid-Foundation Establishment stage?"

Vanka stared in astonishment at Shen Bai, only to see that Shen Bai's magical power was solid and his sword intent was swirling around him, making him even more energetic than he had been a few days ago.

"Sigh, only reaching the mid-Foundation Establishment stage at 33 years old, my talent is indeed somewhat lacking!"

Shen Bai shook his head and sighed, which made Vanka want to curse.

At 33, one is not even considered a youth among cultivators; one can only be considered a teenager.

With a lifespan of at least 200 years during the Foundation Establishment stage, and only 16% of that time having passed by age 30, such talent is far beyond what ordinary people can compare to.

Even among the Dao Academy students who graduate from the Holy Academy of the Xuan Yuan Empire at the age of 28-30, most are only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment.

After the Foundation Establishment stage, each leap in a minor realm requires at least 3-5 years of accumulation, plus exceptional talent and a bit of luck to achieve.

It's quite common to not advance to a higher level for 10 years.

Those with less talent may only advance a minor realm every thirty to fifty years. By the time they reach the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment, their lifespan will be almost over.

At 33 years old, in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, his swordsmanship is unmatched below the Golden Core stage. Such talent is enough to make Wanka take Shen Bai seriously.

"I have one hour of free time from four to five o'clock this afternoon."

After thinking it over, Vanka decided to try and win over this newly recruited subordinate.

……

At 3:50 p.m., Shen Bai, carrying a bouquet of roses, the most beloved flowers of the Rota people, swaggered through the Rota Clubhouse and, under the astonished gazes of everyone, knocked on Vanka's office door.

"What's going on? Miss Vanka accepted this outsider's advances?"

"How could that be? He's just a Foundation Establishment cultivator, while Vanka is at the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage, and could step into the Nascent Soul stage at any moment. There's absolutely no way Vanka would accept his advances!"

"The problem is, he's been inside for almost half an hour! If we didn't accept it, we would have kicked him out long ago."

……

There were many people in the Rota Club who coveted Vanka, this delicate and beautiful girl.

The family power behind someone who can sit in the position of consul at the Rota Association is self-evident.

Vanka is known as the first socialite of the Kingdom of Rota.

In addition, her cultivation at the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage and her stunning beauty made her impossible to ignore.

At first, no one paid much attention, but when they saw Shen Bai go in with flowers and not come out for almost an hour, they were all extremely jealous.

Who doesn't know that Vanka is a workaholic?

Who doesn't know that Vanka is extremely strict about time management?

Now that they've been talking to Shen Bai for almost an hour, what kind of work could they possibly have to talk about?

Thus, during the hour Shen Bai spent in Wan Ka's office, his jealousy level skyrocketed. This time, the jealous people were at least Golden Core cultivators, and there were even a few Nascent Soul stage True Monarchs among them.

Shen Bai suddenly realized that he had been narrow-minded before.

It turns out there are such wonderful fairies waiting for me to discover.
