Chapter 297 Purpose

Soon after Su Li left the room, Tantai Yu brought someone to follow.

As a prince of a country, although he was not the first crown prince, his identity was still distinguished, and many guards of the inborn realm followed him. Even if none of the guards reached inborn fifth hurdle, the ability to make young warriors of the inborn realm follow him would prove his potential.

Tantai Yu glanced at a large group of people behind Su Li and hesitated, “Junior Sister Apprentice, the machine-operated dragon vehicle is small. There are too many people, so, I am afraid…”

Su Li smiled slightly, motioned him to be calm and gave a command in Fang Yuan’s ear. Then Qu Qingning and others immediately followed a waiter to leave, and only Fang Yuan and Yun Yi followed Su Li.

Tantai Yu was relieved and laughed, “It’s so much more convenient. Junior Sister Apprentice, You can rest assured. Just put your safety in my hand here. I will never let you be harmed in the slightest.”

With a sweet smile, Su Li nodded obediently, “I surely believe in Senior Fellow Apprentice”

“H’m!”

Tantai Yu laughed loudly, and then brought Su Li and others to the front of the machine-operated dragon vehicle.

The vehicle was a one and a half-man-high, three-meter-long, and one-meter-wide machine-operated beast. The whole appearance was covered with blue scales, and a pair of dragon eyes made it as vivid as living creatures.

Seeing such a majestic vehicle, Yun Yi, who was behind Su Li, couldn’t help but exclaim, “Is this a dragon vehicle?!”

“Right.”

Tantai Yu who was always humble and polite showed a little pride, “This is one of the symbols of Tianji Country. People can see it only when they come to the city and are received by the royal family!”

For a while, everyone boarded the dragon vehicle which gave a low-snarling roar, making a beautiful arc like a flying dragon and travelling out of the city.

In this season, Tantai City was very hot. Many ice cages were placed in the dragon vehicle, so, the vehicle was quiet and cool. Through the glass mirror of the dragon vehicle, Su Li could clearly see the bustling scene outside the city. She had never been to Tianji city in previous life. Now for the first time she saw such a magical machine-operated dragon vehicle, so, she couldn’t help but be slightly surprised. She lamented,

“Senior Fellow Apprentice, the dragon vehicle is really extraordinary. It is much more comfortable than a carriage. How nice it would be if the vehicle could be introduced into Dahan Country.”

Tantai Yu shook his head reluctantly and smiled dumbly,

“Junior Sister Apprentice, not only you have this idea, but everyone comes to the Tianji Country with the same idea, and even we ourselves often imagine the interests of the machine-operated dragon vehicle. However, the manufacturing method of the machine-operated dragon vehicle is the royal secret, and only Father knows it. I don’t know for what, Father strictly forbids the dragon vehicle from flowing into other countries.”

“I see.”

As Su Li nodded, her psychic awareness had quietly invaded the core of the dragon vehicle. In her opinion, it was easy for any practitioner of the longevity realm to figure out the structure of the dragon vehicle. However, why didn’t anyone spread the manufacturing method of the dragon vehicle for so many years?

After all, the resources behind the dragon vehicle were not a little bit. Even a practitioner of the longevity realm would be tempted. A practitioner needed the abundant resources, a follower, a right method and a place for his cultivation. Therefore, when a practitioner had enough resources, he could practice faster. This was an old truth.

Cultivation to the longevity realm had transformed the psychic awareness. Even special materials that could weaken psychic awareness could not stop Su Li’s investigation. Just after a few breaths, Su Li’s psychic awareness had penetrated into the core structure of the vehicle.

Suddenly, her eyes narrowed, and her psychic awareness stopped suddenly.

“Sure enough. It’s weird.”

The key part of the last layer in the core structure was covered with a layer of light fog. The power contained in this light fog was not strong. If she broke through forcibly, the fog would not stop her.

But even the thought of breaking through the fog made her not at ease!

It seemed that as long as she broke through it, there would be extremely bad things.

Hesitating again and again, Su Li’s psychic awareness revolved around the fog, and eventually retreated slowly.

“My current important matters could not be delayed. It’s no need to make trouble at this time.”

Her eyes flickered, and the thought of exploration in her mind faded immediately. At the same time, Tantai Yu was busy to introduce the customs in Tianji Country to Su Li, and was unaware of her strangeness.

Gushan mountain was far away from Tantai City. The dragon vehicle traveled half a day before it reached the foot of Gushan mountain in the evening. Tantai Yu took Su Li to a bamboo house built by the river but they didn’t see Qi Xianqing.

“Maybe Master has gone fishing?”

Tantai Yu found everywhere, but did not see half a figure. He could not help but wonder.

“I think Master has left this place.”

Su Li touched the table with her fingertips, and immediately drew a clear line, “The table is dusty. I’m afraid that Master has left more than one month.”

Tantai Yu’s heart sank. One month ago, he just took over Tianji Inn. He was so busy that didn’t expect Master had left silently. He frowned,

“Junior Sister Apprentice, you come here to ask Master for help, but what should we do now?”

Seeing Tantai Yu show regret, Su Li shook her head and said, “That’s okay. Master left abruptly, so, it is not your fault. I will think of another way.”

Tantai Yu was silent and saw that Su Li was not displeased. He felt that Su Li was absolutely very disappointed in her heart, even though she did not show it. Thinking of the tepid relationship between his junior sister apprentice and himself, he hesitated for a moment and gritted his teeth to say,

“Junior Sister Apprentice, I’ll take you to find Father. He must know where Master is!”

In this statement, a trace of regret rose from Tantai Yu’s heart, but it was quickly replaced by determination. Su Li froze for a moment, but immediately reacted. She glanced at Fang Yuan and Yun Yi, and the two understood her meaning and went away.

Until they reached a place where they couldn’t hear Su Li and Tantai Yu’s words, Yun Yi couldn’t help but worry, “What should we do? The miracle-working doctor Qi is not here, and it’s hard for Miss to explain when she goes back!”

Fang Yuan curled his lips, and said indifferently, “By now, do you still think Su Li come here for treating Ling Mo?”

As soon as Yun Yi heard it, he was surprised and said, “Isn’t it?”

Fang Yuan’s eyes hid emotions and he looked at the two persons who were talking secretly in the mountain. He said slowly, “Her medical skills have already surpassed Qi Xianqing too much.”

Of all the followers, he followed Su Li first, and some secrets were only known to him. For example, in the early years, Su Li was good at poison skills, but Qi Xianqing had… no knowledge of it at all.

So, Su Li’s medical skill was impossibly taught by Qi Xianqing!

Yun Yi understood the meaning implied in Fang Yuan’s words and immediately felt shocked in his heart. He lost his speech ability for a while.

As Fang Yuan was still guessing the true purpose of Su Li coming to Tianji Country, Tantai Yu revealed a secret of the Imperial Palace that the Minister of Tianji Country even did not know.

“In fact, over the years, Father has been worrying about the strange disease of Mother.”

When talking about his mother, sadness appeared in Tantai Yu’s eyes.

It turned out that Tantai Yu’s mother, Concubine Yin, was the favorite concubine of the Emperor of Tianji Country, Tantai Feng, in those days. The Empress was just a commodity sent by the minister to stabilize the national conditions. If he didn’t consider the face of the palace, Tantai Feng would even not be willing to go to the Empress’s chamber. Most of time, he was in Concubine Yin’s chamber.

Therefore, as the children of Concubine Yin, Second Princess Tantai Mingyue and he were very favored by Tantai Feng.Read more chapter on vi p novel. com

Later, Concubine Yin contracted a strange disease and remained drowsy and unconscious, but Tantai Feng uncharacteristically strictly forbade any royal doctors who treated Concubine Yin from leaking any information, otherwise they would be executed!

Later, Tantai Feng searched secretly for famous doctors in the secular world and martial arts circle to treat Concubine Yin secretly. However, after so many years, Concubine Yin never woke up. If it was not because she was still breathing, Tantai Yu would have thought that his mother was dead.

However, it was strange that for more than ten years, Tantai Feng had been aging, but Concubine Yin still maintained her youthful appearance. It seemed that years had not left a trace on her.

“Now my identity is sensitive, so, it is not easy to enter the palace. But if we follow the secret line of Father, we will certainly not be found by the other princes. I think with my identity, I would be cursed by Father at most.”

Tantai Yu said, pretending to be easy. Then seeming to think of something, he did not give Su Li the opportunity to refuse, and quickly said, “Quickly. While my whereabouts have not been exposed to Eldest Brother and others, let me take you into the palace now!”

As him had talked about this, Su Li could only swallow the words of refusal, and nodded, “Then thank you.”

Ling Mo’s injury could be easily cured, but in order to come to Tianji Country, she specifically made this excuse. It was not a big deal of Ling Mo’s tendons and vessels within a month.

The ultimate goal of her coming to Tianji Country was to wipe out Tianji Country in one month, just like wiping out Nanjiang Country!

Now, with the help of Tantai Yu, this duration had been shortened countless times immediately. According to the words of Tantai Yu, Tantai Feng seemed to be a good father, which made her have other thoughts.

“Perhaps, I don’t need to use the Spiritual Realm this time…”

While she was thinking about it, Tantai Yu had taken everyone back to his house and rushed to the palace overnight.

The whole imperial palace wall was scarlet except one place that was really dark, and there were countless guards of the inborn realm in the surroundings. As soon as the dragon vehicle stopped, it received a lot of attention. After the breaths of Su Li and Fang Yuan were noticed, the hidden eyes became sharp immediately.

Tantai Yu got out of the dragon vehicle and walked to the door of the courtyard seriously and whispered, “Junior Sister Apprentice is the disciple of Master, and today she is better than Master. I have enough reasons to bring her here.”

After he talked, it was unresponsive inside the door. Tantai Yu frowned, and he had to speak again, “Mammy, please. I cannot harm my mother.”

After saying this, Su Li heard that the breathing sound in the door stopped for a second. Then the door bolt made a sound, the courtyard door finally opened, and a wrinkled old woman walked out of the door.

She glanced at Su Li and others. Her turbid eyes flashed with a little anger, but she didn’t show it. She looked coldly at Tantai Yu, with an old voice in his ears.

“You… should be responsible for your actions.”

Tantai Yu froze for a while, and then nodded slightly and quickly took Su Li into the courtyard. As soon as they stepped into the courtyard, another dragon vehicle came here fast!

Before the dragon vehicle stopped steadily, Tantai Mingyue got off the vehicle quickly and saw that the door of the courtyard had been slowly closed. Her face with eager immediately became extremely dark.

“Damn, it’s late!”
