Chapter 637 - 637 Brother Jiu Takes Action, The Mastermind

637 Brother Jiu Takes Action, The Mastermind

Nangong Yan had lived for half her life and had seen countless people. She thought that she had a sharp eye for people, but she had fallen into Yan Jiuchao’s hands time and time again.

How could there be such a man in the world?

He was heartless, but he was willing to accept his father, who had abandoned him for more than ten years.

To say that he had a conscience, he killed his half-brother without even blinking.

Nangong Yan recalled the evaluation of Yan Jiuchao when the envoys who had gone to the Great Zhou returned to the country. Without exception, their evaluation was one word——lunatic.

This man was indeed a lunatic, but he was much more terrifying than a lunatic.

He had the guts of a lunatic to be fearless, and he also had the arrogance of a lunatic. However, a lunatic did not have a brain, but he did. Every step he took seemed casual, but he was actually walking on his opponent’s Achilles heel.

Not to mention, he had a cold heart that made people tremble.

Nangong Yan was born to win. As the Princess of Nanzhao, she had never been afraid of anyone. When she faced the Emperor, she was afraid, and when she interacted with the Prince Consort, she was nervous. However, Yan Jiuchao was the first who really made her feel fear in her bones.

Facing him, even her soul seemed to tremble.

Of course, she hated him too! She hated him for not dying early in the Great Zhou. Why did he appear many years later and break her and the Prince Consort’s peaceful life?

The originally happy and healthy family was in chaos because of his arrival. The Prince Consort did not want her anymore, and the Emperor hated her. Even the people of Nanzhao began to despise her because of the woman he brought.

What did she do wrong to end up like this!

Nangong Yan naturally would not think that all the mistakes were actually on her. The real family was Prince Yan and the other two. She was the one who used any means to s.n.a.t.c.h Prince Yan away, she was the one who poisoned Yan Jiuchao, and she was also the one who used unorthodox methods to have designs on the holy artifact.

Everything she suffered now was just the backlash and bitter consequences of her own sins.

Nangong Yan thought about how she had happily wanted to surprise the Prince Consort, but Yan Jiuchao had shattered her completely. Her only bargaining chip was gone, and the Prince Consort would not return to her side.

Nangong Yan fainted from anger.

“Young Master.” Shadow Thirteen looked at Yan Jiuchao.

Yan Jiuchao said expressionlessly, “Throw her out.”

“Yes!”

Shadow Thirteen grabbed Nangong Yan’s lapels and threw her out in disdain as if he was holding a sack.

Prince Yan had finished bathing the three little fellows and led them out of the bathroom. The three of them obediently lay on the bed. Prince Yan’s clothes were wet, so he returned to his room to change into something dry.

Along the way, he met Yan Jiuchao.

Yan Jiuchao said, “Nangong Yan was here.”

Prince Yan’s expression was very calm. If one looked carefully, they would notice a trace of coldness. “What is she doing here?”

Yan Jiuchao said truthfully, “She said that she’s pregnant and it’s yours. I think she just got pregnant.”

Prince Yan paused. “I didn’t. It’s not mine.”

With that, he entered the room. He did not propose to see her, nor did he ask Yan Jiuchao how he dealt with her. The lie that she had woven for more than ten years had been exposed. What happened to that woman had nothing to do with him.

She was pregnant, so whoever she was pregnant with had nothing to do with him. Because he didn’t care, his heart didn’t ache.

After Prince Yan closed the door, he looked in the opposite direction. That was where Shangguan Yan lived.

“Young Master.” Shadow Thirteen walked over. “His Highness…”

Yan Jiuchao said, “He’s not stupid. Doesn’t he even know if the piece of meat in Nangong Yan’s stomach is his? It’s been too long since Nangong Li’s incident, and it’s difficult to trace it back. But he hasn’t been muddle-headed in the past few months.”

Prince Yan had a pure nature. To be able to make him like this, the pain he endured when someone hurt him was unimaginable. However, it was precisely because of this that he put away all his confusion.

Yan Jiuchao was a thorn that grew on the edge of the cliff. Since he was born, he had lived in the schemes of everyone. He was dark, cold, ruthless, and heartless, but Prince Yan was different. Even though he had been thrown into the Cold Palace with his mother since he was young, he still had an innocent personality.

It was no wonder that he had been deceived by Nangong Yan for so many years. He had never thought that there would be such a dark side in this world.

Shadow Thirteen was glad that his Young Master did not inherit Prince Yan’s innocence and kindness. Instead, he inherited the ruthlessness and coldness of the late Emperor. The environment in which his Young Master grew up was much more difficult. If he had any mercy, he would have long been eaten by that group of people.

Yan Jiuchao dusted his wide sleeves. “Alright, it’s time to meet that person.”

Prince Yan should have gone to see that person. But after thinking about it, Shadow Thirteen decided to report to Young Master first.

Yan Jiuchao returned to his room and told Yu Wan that there was no need to wait for him when he went out. Then, he brought Shadow Six and Shadow Thirteen to a very quiet courtyard in the city.

This courtyard was built in a bamboo forest. It was far from the commotion and was quiet and pleasant.

There were many powerful golden-masked sacrificial soldiers guarding the surroundings. However, this was not a problem for Shadow Thirteen. His current cultivation had greatly improved. After about a hundred moves, the eight golden-masked sacrificial soldiers guarding the courtyard fell into a pool of blood.

Yan Jiuchao looked at the corpses on the ground and snorted coldly. “They found so many powerful sacrificial soldiers to guard it. They really think highly of the other party.”

Shadow Thirteen drew his sword and stood in front of Yan Jiuchao and Shadow Six. “Be careful, there’s a mechanism!”

As soon as he finished speaking, a few arrows came. Shadow Thirteen swung his sword to cut off the arrows. After a while, the ground trembled, and the bamboo forest at the side began to change directions.

“Eight Trigrams Array.” Shadow Thirteen’s eyes turned cold. He held his sword with both hands and soared into the air, slashing down fiercely. With a loud bang, the array core was split open by Shadow Thirteen’s sword energy. The unpredictable bamboo forest instantly fell silent.

Yan Jiuchao looked at the silent courtyard and walked over indifferently.

This courtyard looked simple and plain, but the decorations inside could be said to be resplendent. There was an agarwood floor, golden silk cedar roof beams, and countless jade artifacts on the shelves. The golden silk enamel made it look like an immortal palace.

A man in green was sitting in the room practicing calligraphy. He probably heard the commotion outside and looked up in shock.

Shadow Six and Shadow Thirteen were worried that there were mechanisms in the courtyard. They entered the house before Yan Jiuchao and immediately b.u.mped into this surprised handsome face.

“Ah!” Shadow Six stomped his feet!

Shadow Thirteen, who was usually calm, could not help but gasp.

The man in front of him was about the same age as Prince Yan. His clothes were thin and his figure was thin. He used Prince Yan’s usual calligraphy. What was even more surprising was that his face was actually a little similar to Prince Yan.

In particular, the expression between his eyebrows inadvertently revealed confusion and melancholy, making him look very similar to Prince Yan.

“Did-Did His Highness have any other brothers?” Shadow Six asked weakly.

“No,” Yan Jiuchao looked at the man and replied firmly.

This man was similar to Prince Yan in terms of actions and expressions. As for his appearance, it was far inferior to Yan Jiuchao and Prince Yan. It could only be said that he had a hint of Prince Yan.

The man looked at the uninvited guest who had barged into his study in shock.

Shadow Thirteen could sense that he did not have any martial arts and was not a threat to his Young Master. He silently moved to the side and guarded the door.

Yan Jiuchao took a few steps towards him and stopped about five feet away. “How should I address you? Nangong Yan’s Prince Consort or the young master of the Bai Calyx Clan?”

The man’s pupils constricted.

Shadow Six widened his eyes. “He… he… he…”

Yan Jiuchao said indifferently, “He’s the Prince Consort that Nangong Yan officially married. He’s the son of the patriarch of the Bai Calyx Clan, Bai Qianli.”

Bai Qianli had not heard anyone call him that for a long time. He was in a daze for a moment before muttering, “Who… who are you?”

“Yan Jiuchao.” Yan Jiuchao introduced himself.

Bai Qianli was stunned. Obviously, he had heard of this name.

It was not strange when he thought about it. After interacting with Nangong Yan for so long, as her closest person, how could he not know her secrets and the people she was closely related to?

“What exactly is going on?” Shadow Six was a scout, but he had only found a man that Nangong Yan had secretly hidden. As for who this man was, he was confused. How did Young Master guess? Seeing that the other party did not refute, Young Master had clearly guessed correctly!

“How did you…” Bai Qianli stuttered.

Yan Jiuchao finished what he wanted to say for him. “How did I find this place? Or how did I guess who you are?”

Bai Qianli lowered his eyes.

Yan Jiuchao said, “Isn’t that simple? If I want to investigate you, I can just keep an eye on Nangong Yan. If I want to guess who you are, I can just think about what she did.”

Everyone knew about the marriage between Nanzhao and the Bai Calyx Clan. It was not so easy to hide it. Either Nangong Yan had sent Prince Yan to the Bai Calyx Clan and asked him to pretend to be the son of the patriarch of the Bai Calyx Clan to enter Nanzhao, or Nangong Yan had indeed married the young master of the Bai Calyx Clan, but Prince Yan had replaced him after that.

The moment he saw Bai Qianli, the answer was almost obvious.

Without Bai Qianli’s explanation, Yan Jiuchao could already guess the general situation. It was none other than that Nangong Yan had taken a fancy to Prince Yan and wanted to marry him, but she could not give Prince Yan a suitable ident.i.ty. Coincidentally, the Bai Calyx Clan came to Nanzhao to pay tribute. She b.u.mped into Bai Qianli, who was similar to Prince Yan.

So she had designs on Bai Qianli.
