Chapter 260 Xiao Ye No. 1, with a Justified Demeanor
Chapter 260 The Rightful Xiao Ye No. 1
As Ye Nanxiao stepped out of the main hall, the woman in purple robes who had brought him in earlier was waiting outside.
Upon seeing Ye Nanxiao emerge, a look of surprise flashed across her face, as if she was astonished that Ye Nanxiao had come out so quickly.
"Please take me out of here," Ye Nanxiao said to the woman in purple.
The woman in purple robes said softly, "Please wait a moment, my lord."
After speaking, the woman in purple robes walked towards the entrance of the main hall.
Ye Nanxiao pretended to casually look around, but he had a strong feeling of being watched.
"Such a strong feeling, just how many eyes are watching from the shadows?" Ye Nanxiao thought to himself.
As his gaze swept over the magnificent buildings, Ye Nanxiao suddenly realized that there were far more soldiers than palace maids here, a stark contrast to the scene he had witnessed at the Star Luo Imperial Palace.
Even the staff were mostly soldiers. Compared to the imperial palace in Xingluo, the number of palace maids here at Xu Tianran's place was pitifully small.
"It must be because Xu Tianran was ambushed before, which explains why Xu Tianran's personality became twisted later."
Ye Nanxiao suddenly felt that it was an extremely happy thing that he could still drink Yiling fruit tea. At least, he needed to drink tea made from Yiling fruit because he had climbed Wushan too much.
In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the woman in purple robes returned to Ye Nanxiao, bowed slightly, and said, "My lord, please come with me. I will take you out of the palace."
Ye Nanxiao glanced back at the palace. He had originally thought this would be a trap.
Only after leaving the palace grounds did Ye Nanxiao feel the sense of surveillance on him disappear.
"Xue'er, how many auras did you sense in the palace just now?" Ye Nanxiao asked.
"Five, but none of them can compare to the two deans you tricked," Xue Di replied.
With the Frozen Flower providing cover, the Snow Empress need not worry about being detected by the powerful figures of the Sun and Moon Imperial Palace.
"Their reaction is weaker than Lao Qian's and Dean Yan's, but the number is probably a bit too many. There are likely guards in the deeper shadows. Having survived the ambush, Xu Tianran must be very concerned about his own safety." Ye Nanxiao frowned slightly.
With so many powerful figures guarding the palace, the dungeon must be difficult to access.
As Ye Nanxiao walked, he pondered what method he could use to infiltrate the dungeon.
Only by drawing the attention of those lurking in the shadows of the palace to Xu Tianran could he possibly infiltrate the dungeon.
"Unless something major happens, such as an attack on the palace, or an attack on the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy." Ye Nanxiao quickly returned, remembering that he seemed to have forgotten something, something about a major event in Mingdu.
Upon returning to their temporary dormitory at Shrek Academy, Fan Yu hosted a grand feast for Huo Yuhao and the others, with everyone expressing their special gratitude to Huo Yuhao for temporarily acting as the chef.
Upon seeing Ye Nanxiao return, Fan Yu put down her cup and stepped forward to ask, "Have you encountered any difficulties since entering the palace?"
Ye Nanxiao shook his head slightly; he had already prepared himself for being put in a difficult position by Xu Tianran.
"That's good!" Fan Yu breathed a sigh of relief, patted Ye Nanxiao on the shoulder, and laughed, "Go on, relax today. This is a day when Shrek Academy really shines here, we have to celebrate!"
Huo Yuhao, who was busy grilling meat, looked up and saw Ye Nanxiao, and quickly sent a message for help with his eyes.
This is supposed to be my own celebration, so why am I standing here grilling meat? Shouldn't I be the one enjoying it?
Seeing Huo Yuhao's expectant eyes, Ye Nanxiao decisively looked away and picked up a piece of meat.
After several rounds of drinks and several dishes, Fan Yu looked at Ye Nanxiao, who was slumped in a recliner, and said, "You two can decide what to do with the rare metals you won in the competition. Since you represented the Tang Clan in the competition, they should rightfully belong to your Tang Clan."
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao glanced at Ye Nanxiao and left the problem to Ye Nanxiao to handle.
Ye Nanxiao's eyes darted around, and he said, "Teacher Fanyu, since you've said that there will be two of us competing, it's not unreasonable for me to take an extra share, is it?"
"Huh? You want to split the profits 40/60 with the academy?" Fan Yu's face showed surprise.
"When did you stop being such a money-grubber?"
Ye Nanxiao was too lazy to explain. He glanced at Fan Yu, closed his eyes, and comfortably lay down on the ice recliner.
Huo Yuhao rubbed Ye Nanxiao's arm and said, "Onii-chan, the match is over, so what's our plan now?"
"Plan? What plan?" Ye Nanxiao had an ice straw in his mouth, the long straw extending all the way to the table next to Huo Yuhao, where a drink was placed.
"Data collection on soul tools, Onii-chan, have you been making too many bombs lately and forgotten?" Huo Yuhao said helplessly.
"You are now the only one among us who can enter Mingde Hall."
Ye Nanxiao blinked. "You mean imprinting the core array sequence of the soul tool? You'll have to do that. I can't do it."
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao's forehead creased with a cross. "My dear Mud-chan, why are you trying to slack off again?"
A pair of gauntlets covered in diamond ice crystals landed on Huo Yuhao's fists.
Ye Nanxiao silently moved the recliner away, taking a few steps away from Huo Yuhao, and said, "Don't get excited. Your brother really didn't intend to slack off this time. It's just that Jing Hongchen seems to have lost his mind. He wants me to be their Hongchen family's son-in-law. Wouldn't it be like sending a lamb to the slaughter if I went to Mingde Hall?"
"A son-in-law?" Huo Yuhao's eyes widened slightly, and he mouthed "Aba aba".
"So, you've taken Meng Hongchen as well? Wait, the one in front of me is your true form! Could it be that you already..." Huo Yuhao shook his head, took a few steps back, and wore a look of disappointment on his face.
Ye Nanxiao glared at Huo Yuhao and cursed, "Have you been following Xu Sanshi for so long that you've picked up his intelligence too? Do you think I'm that kind of person?"
"That's right, given your family status, I doubt you'd dare." Huo Yuhao nodded in deep agreement.
Ye Nanxiao rolled his eyes in exasperation, and a soul tool in his arms vibrated.
"I won't stoop to your level. I have to go now." Ye Nanxiao stepped on the floating ice and slowly drifted towards the laboratory.
Drifting into Xuan Ziwen's laboratory, Ye Nanxiao slipped into a small equipment room inside.
Four silencing beads rose up, and Ye Nanxiao told Xiao Ye No. 3 to go outside and keep watch. He took out a specially made communication soul tool from his ring and inserted a small, round key from his pocket into the upper left corner of the communication soul tool.
"Moshi moshi, odd changes, even remains the same." A lazy voice came from the communication device.
"The symbols indicate the quadrants. If there is something to report, then speak up; otherwise, the court is adjourned," Ye Nanxiao said.
"Hey, when are you going to replenish my energy? I don't have much left. If you don't come soon, I'm going to turn into a flower and fly back." Little Leaf Number One said lazily.
Ye Nanxiao considered the recent plans and said, "I'm unlikely to be able to spare any time right now. The Chamber of Commerce has only just been acquired and is still in a stable phase. How much soul power do you have left?"
In the Star Luo Empire, Star Luo City, at the secret headquarters of Shadow Stream.
Lying on a recliner, Xiao Ye No. 1, as languid as a salted fish, slowly turned over, sensed the remaining soul power in his body, and said, "About three-fifths left, not much."
"You're telling me that three-fifths is not much? How come there's still so much? According to my calculations, you should only have less than two-fifths of your soul power left," Ye Nanxiao said in confusion.
"Well, since my soul power is limited, and I'm guarding an important strategic position, I should naturally conserve it as much as possible. I should stay still if I don't have to. What if I run out of soul power in an emergency?" Little Leaf No. 1 said confidently.
If you can avoid moving, then don't move.
Ye Nanxiao's lips twitched slightly. He was indeed quite lazy, but not to this extent, was he?
Or is it that Xiao Ye No. 1, as its own clone, had its laziness amplified?
I'm not someone who advocates energy conservation.
Unable to figure out the reason, Ye Nanxiao skipped the topic and asked, "Let's not talk about that for now. Let's get to the point. I don't think your main reason for coming to me is that your soul power hasn't dropped to the danger level."
Getting to the point, Little Leaf One sprang up from the recliner, looked around to make sure no one was nearby, and then whispered, "Main Body, let me tell you, next time you come to Star Luo, you really need to be careful, or you might end up like Tang Sanzang who wandered into the Women's Kingdom!"
"What? A kingdom of women? A queen? Where did the queen come from in Xingluo? Did Xu Jiujiu launch a palace coup?" Ye Nanxiao frowned. Among the female members of the Xingluo royal family, only Xu Jiujiu had the greatest power.
"No, that's not it. It's just that Xu Jiujiu has taken a liking to me. You can decide what to do!" Xiao Ye No. 1 straightened up and said with his head held high.
Ye Nanxiao [.]
A question mark slowly appeared above Ye Nanxiao's head. What should he do?
Taking a deep breath, Ye Nanxiao gritted his teeth and said, "You better explain yourself clearly first. What do you mean you've been chosen by Xu Jiujiu? You are me! What the hell did you do?!"
Ye Nanxiao knew about Xu Jiujiu's feelings for him, but he did not intend to let her sink into despair again.
"My true self, you still underestimate Princess Jiu Jiu. Although Xu Jiu Jiu is a princess of the royal family, she is not a flower grown in a greenhouse."
"Moreover, Xu Jiawei also has the intention to matchmake people. I was targeted as soon as I arrived in Xingluo," Xiao Ye No. 1 said helplessly.
"So, what did you do this time?" Ye Nanxiao knew himself well; Little Ye No. 1 must have done something to make Xu Jiujiu suddenly launch an offensive.
"I didn't do much. I just lay on the recliner every day waiting for Feng Twelve and the others to report on their progress. I tried not to move if I could, and then they would come after a long time. To save my soul power, I was too lazy to hide," Xiao Ye No. 1 said with unusual rationality.
If staying still conserves soul power, then not dodging is perfectly reasonable.
