Chapter 1498: Chapter 1498 Realization

What exactly is the master thinking, sending the daughter of the Elder Princess of Liang Kingdom into Prince Mo’s Mansion to serve Sui Zimo?

Even if that little girl is mediocre, she is still the biological daughter of the Elder Princess of Liang Kingdom. How low could her status possibly be? Is the master trying to garner support from Liang Kingdom for Sui Zimo to more conveniently deal with the Emperor of Wei and even themselves?

I really don’t understand what the master is thinking!

"Master, that is the daughter of the Elder Princess of Liang Kingdom. She..."

"Do I need to repeat myself? Hmm?"

He interrupted his subordinate’s words with a narrowed gaze, asking in a cold voice.

"No, your subordinate understands and will go to take care of it," the man in black replied, quickly acknowledging the command.

No matter what the master is thinking, it isn’t something for a subordinate to question. Perhaps, after hearing that the Elder Princess had fled from the Illusion Continent, the master had come up with an even better plan against Sui Zimo?

That remained to be seen.

"Only... Master, Sui Zimo now has a female physician by his side, and according to the Emperor of Wei and Princess Consort Yi, that female physician’s medical skills are quite extraordinary. I worry that..."

"What are you worried about? Hmm?"

The man cut him off once again.

Worried that the poison in Sui Zimo might be cured?

Are the poisons of the Illusion Continent so easily remedied?

Besides, the poison he had administered to Sui Zimo was not something that just any physician from the Illusion Continent could cure.

"If she’s as impressive as you all claim, then... eliminate her," he said again.

He only needed Sui Zimo to be alive; as for the others around Sui Zimo, the fewer, the better, and those skilled individuals were especially not to be spared.

"Yes, your subordinate obeys," the man in black responded.

...

Not long after, the man in black had left.

Yet Zhe Jue, who had been hiding from a distance, dared not move at all, because the man who had spoken to the man in black was still standing there, just as motionless as himself.

After a very long time, it felt like a century had passed.

In truth, it was only an hour or so, but Zhe Jue could no longer bear it and muttered to himself, "Is that man a fool? Standing alone in the wilderness for so long.

Does he plan to turn himself into a statue?

However, it wasn’t long before he realized something.

It turned out that the man hadn’t been standing there motionless, but rather...

it was merely a shadow image, not a real person at all, and when the man in black had spoken, he was only communicating through this image.

"No wonder I heard such an angry voice but didn’t see even a finger move on that man in black!" So, it wasn’t that he didn’t want to move but that he couldn’t.

That meant, even if he stood closer, as long as the man in black didn’t notice him, that man wouldn’t be able to detect him either, right?

With this realization, he felt at ease.

After one more glance at the shadow image, he turned and left the Shuiyin Mountain Range.

...

"That’s how it went down."

Back in Prince Mo’s Mansion, after Zhe Jue returned, he relayed everything he had seen and heard in the Shuiyin Mountain Range, making it crystal clear to his own lord.

"Yin Baiqing can be dispensed with, but you must be kept alive, my lord. It seems you hold quite a high place in that person’s heart," he said.

The first half of the sentence was a serious report, but the latter half veered into teasing.
