Eternal Villain: I can enslave Reality!

Chapter 68 68: Mission



"It looks like we won't be meeting the Palace Master anytime soon." Ye Han checked the guest house where the two of them were supposed to stay in the Celestial Palace.

Fortunately, in his checking, he didn't find any traps. Even though the house wasn't luxurious like the one where Xu Shan used to stay, it was not bad either. It had enough room and space for the two of them to stay here comfortably.

"Of course we won't. It would've been off if the Palace Master would've decided to meet us as soon as we arrived. Even though he's most probably not just in the least, he still has to maintain the dignity of the Palace Master and pretend to be busy."

Xu Shan was sitting on the bed, not having much of a reaction, as if he already expected that. In any case, even he didn't want to meet the guy so soon. He had planned to stay here for a few days, at least until he found the whereabouts of Yu Fei.

After bringing them to the Celestial Island, the Great Elder brought the two of them to the guest house, telling them to stay here until they were invited.

Even though he made it appear as if it was normal, Xu Shan knew that they were probably observing him.

After a brief pause, he stood up, walking toward a nearby shelf. There, he could see a vase, which had a few fresh flowers as if used for decoration. In fact, he had noticed similar decorations in every room.

Xu Shan stopped in front of the flowers and gently touched them. "What an unpleasant smell."

He picked up the vase and walked over to the window, tossing it outside. At the same time, he told Ye Han to toss the other cases as well, telling him that he didn't like flowers or plants in his room.

Ye Han knew that it wasn't true. Which made him think that something else was going on with these flowers.

He picked up all the flower vases, and tossed them outside, not caring in the least. All the plants and flowers that were used as a decoration in the house were removed, not leaving a single trade behind.

In another room, Yu Ming had quite an unpleasant expression on his face.

"Did he find out?" he muttered, as if talking to himself. "Or was it a coincidence?"

Many thoughts flooded in his mind. Only a few people knew what his Celestial Spirit actually was, so the chances of Xu Shan knowing about that should've been none. Only his father and his sister knew about that after all.

His Celestial Spirit was one that allowed him to control the plants. He could use them to attack and defend himself. However, another use of that Celestial Spirit was for spying.

Plants were everywhere, after all! As long as he was within a certain range, he could share senses with the plants, thanks to his Celestial Spirit, which allowed him to hear everything that the plants heard.

This was also a skill that allowed him to survive many unexpected situations in the past. This was also why he brought Xu Shan to a guest house which was arranged with plants everywhere, so he could hear his conversations.

Unfortunately, before he could hear anything of significance, Xu Shan tossed all the plants outside, as if he knew about it, which made Yu Ming very confused.

Back in his room, Xu Shan closed the window after tossing out all the plants from the room. Even though Yu Ming didn't expect this, Xu Shan already knew about his Celestial Spirit.

This was amongst the information he received when he had interrogated Yu Fei when she was under the influence of drugs.

He had always felt that Yu Ming's Celestial Spirit was very impressive. Not only was it rare, but it was the highest grade, a Nine Star Celestial Spirit.

After closing the window, Xu Shan brought out another treasure sealing the space around him and Ye Han. As long as the conversation took place in this room, no one could hear it.

After sealing the space, Xu Shan's expressions turned somewhat serious as he glanced at Ye Han. "I know you were only sent here as my guard, but there's something that I need your help with. The future of the Eternal Dynasty might depend on it."

Ye Han already realized that this trip wasn't as simple as Xu Shan had initially made it out to be. He also had a clue as to what it was about since it was right after the incident with Yu Fei. He had a feeling that it had something to do with her.

His suspicions were soon confirmed as he heard Xu Shan's next words.

"I want you to find the whereabouts of Yu Fei without being discovered."

Initially, he was coming here in disguise, like a normal disciple. That way, he would've had more freedom to move around. However, now that wasn't possible. And because of his identity, there was a lot of attention on him. He couldn't carelessly make any moves at the start.

Fortunately, he knew what Ye Han was capable of. So he directly asked for his help. At the same time, Xu Shan had also undertaken another goal while he was here! However, that was for later. It was too soon to do anything else this early.

"Can you do it?" he asked, standing near the window, looking at the beautiful field outside that was filled with beautiful flowers.

"You want to kill her while making sure that the Qin Dynasty is blamed?" Ye Han asked directly.

If Xu Shan didn't have any ulterior motive, he could've directly told the Great Elder that he wanted to meet Yu Fei. However, it was dangerous. If she died soon after he asked her whereabouts openly, then it came across as really suspicious so he didn't plan on directly asking.

Instead, he wanted to be subtle this time. There was no room for mistake since they were in someone else's territory. Even his father couldn't save him if something went wrong.

Xu Shan didn't answer Ye Han's question. He simply glanced back. The answer was clear in his eyes.

"I'll find her." Ye Han nodded. He had already seen Yu Fei before the Third Prince's Palace, so he knew her aura. He felt that tracing her wasn't hard. The only problem was doing so without being detected.
