Chapter 273 Young Man on a White Horse Drunk in the Spring Breeze 47
Moreover, Baili Dongjun and Yueyao's earlier panic and subsequent guilty conscience confirmed his suspicions.
Having experienced so many worlds, Xiao Ruojin only trusts herself.
When he has doubts, he will only follow his intuition, even if that intuition contradicts external perceptions.
He quickly searched his mind for information about Yin Luoxia and Tianwaitian, trying to find a connection between the two.
“You are not the real Yin Luoxia,” Xiao Ruojin said firmly.
Faced with the doubts, Yueyao sighed softly, spread her hands, appearing both helpless and honest:
"I really am Yin Luoxia, Yueyao is just my nickname. If Your Highness doesn't believe me, you can go back to Tianqi City to investigate. After all, quite a few people saw me when I participated in the academy's grand examination."
Baili Dongjun stepped forward and stood beside Yueyao, loudly questioning, "Your Highness, what are your true intentions in insisting on slandering Yueyao as a remnant of the Northern Kingdom?"
A glint of something unfathomable flashed in Xiao Ruojin's eyes, and the playful smile on her lips remained, as if she had everything under control: "Whether I am slandering you or not, young master knows perfectly well."
Baili Dongjun snorted coldly, thinking to himself: Anyway, the identity of 'Yin Luoxia' seems genuine. No matter how Xiao Ruojin investigates, she can't find any flaws. Now that Yueyao's identity has been concealed, he doesn't need to get entangled with this annoying Prince Jingyu any longer.
Thinking of this, Baili Dongjun gestured to Baili Luochen. Baili Luochen was also afraid that his grandson was not shrewd enough and that Xiao Ruojin would find some flaw in him later, so he quickly waved for him to leave.
With his grandfather's permission, Baili Dongjun, like a victorious general returning home, stood tall and proud, holding Yueyao's hand, and strode away, his back revealing an indescribable sense of pride.
In response, Xiao Ruojin maintained her calm and composed demeanor, a faint smile playing on her lips. Watching Baili Dongjun's departing figure, she seemed to sigh and say, "Ye Dingzhi, what a pity..."
Ye Dingzhi?
Brother Yun?
Baili Dongjun's pupils suddenly contracted, and then he turned around abruptly, staring at Xiao Ruojin with sharp eyes: "What did you say? What do you mean Ye Dingzhi is a pity?"
Thinking that Ye Dingzhi had vanished without a trace since that wedding robbery, Baili Dongjun's heart was immediately shrouded in an ominous cloud.
Xiao Ruojin did not speak, but looked at Baili Dongjun with calm eyes.
Everyone has weaknesses. Yi Wenjun is needed to control Ye Dingzhi, while Ye Dingzhi is needed to control Baili Dongjun.
Seeing Xiao Ruojin remain silent, Baili Dongjun's anxiety grew like wildfire. He could no longer contain himself and strode up to Xiao Ruojin, loudly demanding, "Tell me quickly! What happened to Ye Dingzhi? What did you do to him?"
His voice trembled slightly with excitement, each word seemingly squeezed out from between his teeth, filled with urgency and anger.
Seeing this, Xiao Ruofeng stepped forward and stood between the two, saying in a deep voice, "Dongjun, you must not be disrespectful to my brother."
Baili Dongjun seemed not to hear Xiao Ruofeng's warning. His gaze passed over Xiao Ruofeng and was fixed on Xiao Ruojin, as if he wanted to find the answer in his eyes.
Suddenly, as if grasping at a last straw, he grabbed Xiao Ruofeng's arm, his voice hoarse with excitement: "Junior Brother, tell me, where is Ye Dingzhi?"
“Uh…” Upon hearing this, Xiao Ruofeng glanced at Xiao Ruojin and knew that he had other plans. He then said with a slight change of mind, “Ye Dingzhi is in the Outer Heaven.”
"The Outer Heavens?" Baili Dongjun asked incredulously, "How could he possibly be in the Outer Heavens?"
As he spoke, he unconsciously looked at Yueyao, his eyes filled with astonishment and disbelief, and felt a chill run from the soles of his feet straight to his heart.
Yueyao: ……
Finished!
You were just making excuses.
Yueyao's heart sank to the bottom, but Xiao Ruojin, who loved watching the drama unfold, exclaimed "Eh?" and pretended to be puzzled, saying, "I heard that Ye Dingzhi appeared in Tianwaitian. Why is the young master looking at Miss Yin?"
Baili Dongjun pursed his lips, as if trying to suppress some emotion, and then forced himself to look away from Yueyao. His voice was slightly hoarse: "Why is Ye Dingzhi in Tianwaitian?"
Xiao Ruojin sneered, her eyes filled with contempt: "You know perfectly well what I'm asking! Baili Dongjun, you're not telling me you really don't know Tianwaitian's true intentions in entering Beili, are you?"
Upon hearing this, Baili Dongjun was first taken aback, and then an expression of disbelief flashed across his eyes.
He was perfectly clear about Tianwaitian's purpose in coming to Beili.
During his confinement, Yueyao had already confessed everything.
just,
Didn't he already promise Yueyao that he would diligently practice the Void Thought Technique to help Yuefeng City successfully complete his seclusion?
Why did they still take Brother Yun to the Outer Heaven?
Did Yueyao deceive him, or did the people from Tianwaitian take it upon themselves to kidnap Brother Yun?
All the questions came rushing in like a tidal wave, and Baili Dongjun's already not-so-clear mind instantly became a tangled mess.
He tried to find a clue, but found himself in even greater confusion.
It's unclear, fundamentally unclear.
Seeing Baili Dongjun's bewildered and confused appearance, Xiao Ruojin couldn't help but lament the injustice of fate, which had given the world's only two innate martial veins to such a person.
Ye Dingzhi was willing to disregard the revenge for his parents for love, but Baili Dongjun was even better than Ye Dingzhi, perhaps even surpassing him.
In Baili Dongjun's mind, there was no concept of national righteousness. He did not think about what Yuefeng City's emergence from seclusion meant, nor did he think about how much turmoil Yuefeng City's breakthrough to the ninth level of the Void Thought Technique would bring to the world.
He only remembered that Yueyao had promised him that she would persuade his father to give up the idea of restoring the country.
So he believed it.
During this time, he did not consider whether Yueyao's words were true or false, nor did he consider whether Yueyao had the ability to persuade Yuefengcheng, and he was even less aware of how much trouble his actions would bring to the Zhenxi Marquis's mansion.
The grandson of the Marquis of Zhenxi, who commands a large army and could easily rebel if he so desires, falls in love with the princess of the fallen Northern Kingdom and later tries to help the fallen king of Northern Kingdom break through to the highest level of martial arts.
What is this if not treason?
Let alone Emperor Tai'an, anyone would suspect the Zhenxi Marquis's mansion of treason.
There's absolutely no doubt that he's plotting a rebellion.
Fortunately, Baili Luochen remained completely open and honest, showing no sign of guilt whatsoever.
At this moment, Xiao Ruojin couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy for Emperor Tai'an.
