Chapter 994 -993: Tracking the Beiqi State Preceptor_1
“Ah ah.”
Lin Qingluo helplessly rubbed her forehead: “Is there really a need to be this brash?”
“This Divine Beast Baby is best at making fires.”
Little Kingfisher held its head high, showing an unmatched arrogance.
“Alright, let’s head to the Drunken Fragrance Pavilion.”
Lin Qingluo pondered for a moment before making a decision: “Start a fire and draw away the Security Battalion, that way my father can be safer outside.”
“Yay, fire-making time.”
Little Kingfisher whooped with joy and shot off like a fiery red streak of lightning in the distance.
“Ah ah, this little guy, can’t even wait a moment.”
Lin Qingluo gave a helpless smile and with a flash, her figure disappeared from the guest room.

In the Drunken Fragrance Pavilion, the Beiqi State Preceptor, Ye Luo, was enjoying himself immensely. He stroked his goatee, sipped his wine, and reveled in the song and dance, indulging in pleasure.
Originaly, he was an unknown student from a small Immortal Sect in the Cultivation World, a disciple of the Sifang Sect. His Spirit Roots were not pure, containing attributes of gold, wood, water, and earth. He possessed mixed Spirit Roots, which are seen as undesirable by every cultivator.
By pure chance he managed to establish his Foundation, but after that, there was no further progression.
His heart held crooked thoughts, and seeing that ascension was impossible, he relied on his modest mana to mix into the world among the common people. Under the pretense of banishing demons and ghosts, he amassed a fortune and lived a lavish life.
A year ago, the Beiqi Monarch wished to hire a cultivator to accompany and protect him.
Not long after this news was announced, Ye Luo recommended himself. He used eloquent words to win the Beiqi Monarch’s heart, was treated with honor, and was appointed as the State Preceptor. His status improved significantly, making his life far more glamorous than before.
The Beiqi Monarch was a shrewd individual who, for over ten years, had outsmarted the King of Beiming both in open and secret conflicts.
After the death of the King of Beiming, he immediately set his sights on Fengqi.
The Empress’ suspicions towards the Lin Clan Army was like a pie from the sky for an ambitious schemer.
A single confidential letter led the Empress to fly into a rage, order the withdrawal of military power, and seal off the Duke of Zhen’s residence.
Ye Luo followed the instructions of the Beiqi Monarch, stayed in the Capital City, and stirred up muddy waters, forcing the Lin Clan Army to plot a rebellion. He wanted to incite internal strife within Fengqi so that Beiqi could seize the opportunity, expand its territory, and achieve its hegemonic ambitions.
“Chirp chirp.”
Little Kingfisher flapped its little wings and landed on the window sill. Its black, lively eyes were filled with curiosity as they peered into the room.
When its gaze landed on Ye Luo, the disdain in its eyes was plain to see.
Ye Luo’s hand, which had been stroking his goatee, paused. He sensed imminent danger and immediately reached into his Storage Ring to take out an Invisibility Talisman. He wanted to activate it and stick it onto himself.
“Whoosh.”
A fiercely hot spark shot forward at high speed, piercing through the Invisibility Talisman.
The Invisibility Talisman turned to ashes at a speed visible to the naked eye.
“Hiss.”
Ye Luo drew in a sharp breath, managed to slip out of the guest room through the window on the other side, and blended into the noisy crowd downstairs.
“Whoosh.”
Little Kingfisher flapped its wings and flew high, spewing a series of sparks that ignited the eaves of the Drunken Fragrance Pavilion.
“Oh no, there’s a fire.”
“Someone help, save us!”
The wind fueled the flames, smoke billowed, and the Drunken Fragrance Pavilion was instantly plunged into chaos. 𝒏𝒐𝙫𝙥𝙪𝙗.𝒄𝙤𝙢
The Security Battalion soldiers patrolling the city, hearing the commotion, gathered from all around.
Lin Qingluo, hiding in the void, locked her sharp gaze on Ye Luo’s sly figure, following him out of the Drunken Fragrance Pavilion.
Ye Luo darted through the streets and alleyways with a chill running down his spine, his hair standing on end. He looked around non-stop, searching for suspicious figures.
Lin Qingluo held her breath, quietly observing his every move, with a ruthless and chilling light flashing in her eyes.
Nothing out of the ordinary caught Ye Luo’s attention. He arrived at a seemingly inconspicuous courtyard, scaled the wall, and jumped in.
Like a wisp of blue smoke, Lin Qingluo flitted over the wall and closely followed him.
