Chapter 61: The Secret of Xuanyin, Tempering the Heart in the Mortal World

"Miss Yu Zhi is the Saint of Xuanyin Pavilion?"

"I see. No wonder Miss Yuzhi is such a great zither player with a heavenly voice."

"I heard that everyone in Xuanyin Pavilion is a beauty. Is that true... Gulu..."

……

There were bursts of exclamations in the pleasure boat.

Everyone seemed to be shocked by this explosive news.

Xia Yuzhi is the Saint of Xuanyin Pavilion?

Hearing this, Zhou Haochen almost spit out the wine in his mouth.

If it weren't for the fact that the token in Liu Zhiwei's hand was genuine, he would have almost suspected that Liu Zhiwei was a member of the White Lotus Sect in disguise.

Zhou Haochen was absolutely sure that Xia Yuzhi was a demon girl from the White Lotus Sect.

However, Liu Zhiwei swore that Xia Yuzhi was the Holy Maiden of Xuanyin Pavilion.

Well, there is only one truth.

Xuanyin Pavilion has been infiltrated!

The dignified saint is just a pawn of the White Lotus Sect.

hiss--

The White Lotus Sect is more difficult and terrifying than Zhou Haochen had imagined.

as well as……

There were some slight deviations in his guess about Xia Yuzhi's identity.

I thought Xia Yuzhi was just an ordinary witch from the White Lotus Sect, a pawn lurking in Yujing City.

Now it seems that Xia Yuzhi's status in the White Lotus Sect is extraordinary and he is definitely not a small figure.

It's a big fish!

However, it is not easy to prove to Liu Zhiwei that Xia Yuzhi is a witch from the White Lotus Sect.

At this moment, Zhou Haochen's eyebrows felt hot, and in his sea of ​​consciousness, the Bagua diagram emitted a golden light.

[Thunder Sky: Middle-upper hexagram. You concealed Xia Yuzhi's true identity and used her as bait. If it's auspicious, the enemy will be in the open while we will be in the dark, which will be a wedge for an in-depth investigation of the White Lotus Sect. If it's a disaster, you will let Xia Yuzhi go and let her continue to stir up trouble. Slightly auspicious.]

[Earth Wind: Middle Hexagram. You privately tell Liu Zhiwei about Xia Yuzhi's true identity. Liu Zhiwei is skeptical and secretly investigates Xia Yuzhi. Balance.]

[Tianshui: Middle-lower hexagram. You exposed Xia Yuzhi's true identity in public. Liu Zhiwei, for the sake of Xuanyin Pavilion's reputation, rebuked you for slandering Xuanyin Pavilion and bore a grudge against you. The White Lotus Sect suspected that you had cracked the code and regarded you as a thorn in their side, causing many troubles. Minor evil.]

Zhou Haochen looked at the three hexagrams and fell into deep thought.

The middle and lower hexagram, exposing Xia Yuzhi in public, making Xuanyin Pavilion lose face, undoubtedly offended Xuanyin Pavilion.

After all, if their own saint girl was a pawn of the White Lotus Sect, where would Xuanyin Pavilion put its face?

If Zhou Haochen was the head of Xuanyin Pavilion, he would also deny it and investigate secretly. In short, for the sake of face, he would never admit that Xia Yuzhi was a pawn of the White Lotus Sect.

The middle hexagram privately reminds Liu Zhiwei that if he preserves the face of Xuanyin Pavilion, he will not offend Xuanyin Pavilion.

As for how much Liu Zhiwei could find out, it’s hard to say.

Xia Yuzhi is already the Saint of Xuanyin Pavilion, so she must have some means of hiding things from Xuanyin Pavilion. It would be difficult for Xuanyin Pavilion to investigate the matter clearly on its own.

As for the middle-upper hexagram, it is to conceal Xia Yuzhi's identity and pretend to be ignorant. In the future investigation of the White Lotus Sect, Xia Yuzhi can continue to be used.

The enemy is in the open and we are in the dark, what a cunning old bastard.

Zhou Haochen thought about it and decided that he wanted both the middle-upper hexagram and the middle-middle hexagram.

The former used Xia Yuzhi as bait, and the latter could gain favor from Xuanyin Pavilion as long as he could prove that Xia Yuzhi was a pawn of the White Lotus Sect.

The favors in the Taoist holy land are of great importance.

While missing her, Zhou Haochen made a decision.

"Miss Yuzhi, it's Gu Menglang."

"Since Miss Yuzhi is the Saint of Xuanyin Pavilion, she must have nothing to do with the White Lotus Sect."

"Please, Miss Yuzhi, don't take what happened just now to heart."

"Your Highness, you looked so fierce just now. I was almost scared to death by you."

Xia Yuzhi looked like she was in tears, and her voice was so sad that it moved people.

"It was my fault just now. I'll toast to you!"

Zhou Haochen drank it all in one gulp and pinched the buttocks of the beauty in his arms with his right hand.

The delicate touch and amazing elasticity almost shook his fingers away.

Xia Yuzhi felt the movement on her buttocks and her pupils shrank slightly, as if she was shocked by Zhou Haochen's unrestrained behavior.

The dog prince was so bold as to molest her in front of Elder Liu.

After drinking it all, Zhou Haochen asked, "Elder Liu, I have a question in my mind, please answer it."

"Your Highness, please speak."

"Since Miss Yu Zhi is the Saint of Xuanyin Pavilion, why did she end up performing in the Jiaofangsi?"

"There is nothing wrong with telling you, Your Highness, about this matter, but... this matter involves our sect's skills, so please keep it secret, Your Highness."

"It's natural!"

Immediately afterwards, Liu Zhiwei forced the sound to form a line and transmitted the message to Zhou Haochen.

"Our sect's skills are quite special. They require one to refine one's mind in the mortal world before they can be fully accomplished."

"The Saint is currently refining her mind in the mortal world."

Temper your mind in the world?

The corner of Zhou Haochen's mouth twitched slightly, and a bad premonition inexplicably emerged in his heart.

The worldly life refines the heart... I don't think I have to cut off my long hair.

Calm your mind and put Xia Yuzhi's matter aside.

Since they planned to use Xia Yuzhi as bait, her identity would not be exposed in a short period of time.

"Your Highness, are we going to arrest the others?" Yue Chongshan asked in a muffled voice.

Xia Yuzhi is not a suspect, but what about the other courtesans?
"never mind!"

"Take Jian Qiu back for interrogation first." Zhou Haochen shook his head.

Since Xia Yuzhi cannot be brought into the Heavenly Prison for interrogation, there is no point in arresting other people.

As soon as Zhou Haochen finished speaking, the tense atmosphere in the pleasure boat dissipated.

In the crowd, Feng Huai took another half step back.

He prayed silently in his heart.

Can't remember me!

Can't remember me!

Can't remember me!

After Xia Yuzhi's farce, Feng Huai finally came to his senses.

Whenever he thought about how he had dared to ask the Thirteenth Prince for someone, he always felt like he was under a spell.

How could it be so stupid?
He now only hoped that Zhou Haochen was busy with the White Lotus case and would forget about his recent collision.

But the next moment, Zhou Haochen's words shattered the last glimmer of hope in his heart.

"Prince Feng, you just said that I am just enjoying the flowers and not thinking about serving my country?"

Zhou Haochen's words were neither salty nor bland, just light and calm.

But to Feng Huai's ears, it sounded like thunder in the sky.

Just one sentence frightened him so much that cold sweat broke out on his forehead and his knees almost gave way and he fell to the ground.

"I misunderstood Your Highness. Please forgive me."

"Excuse me?"

"Humph--"

"The demons of the White Lotus Sect are hiding in the pleasure boat, and you guys are here to have fun. I have reason to suspect that your real purpose is not to have romantic affairs, but to meet with the demons of the White Lotus Sect."

"Come here, arrest Feng Huai and the others, and throw them into the prison!"

Colluding with the White Lotus Sect?
Unjustly accused!

What an injustice!
Feng Huai was almost frightened to death by having such a huge blame put on his head out of nowhere.

Bang!
Feng Huai and his three cronies all knelt down, kowtowed hard, and cried bitterly.

"Your Highness, you are wronged!"

"It's really unfair!"

"I am blind and can't see that Your Highness is doing your duty."

"We are blind! We are blind!"

clap clap-

Feng Huai and the other three kept slapping themselves in the face.

A loud slapping sound rang out in the pleasure boat.

Everyone present knew that the rumor that Feng Huai and his three companions were colluding with the White Lotus Sect was just nonsense and was actually revenge by His Majesty the Thirteenth Prince.

But who would dare to speak up for Feng Huai and the other three and bring bad luck to His Majesty the Thirteenth Prince?
