Chapter 273 Persuading with Name
Qin Jun, the old butler, Hong Fu, Zhao Yue, and Little Yuan’er looked over.
Li Yunzhai suddenly acted reverently. He kneeled at the low-rank eunuch and greeted, “Greetings, Your Fourth Highness.”
‘Fourth Highness?’
From the very beginning, the young and vulgar-looking man who had been keeping a low profile was the Fourth Prince?
Qin Jun appeared surprised. He did not expect this person to be the Fourth Prince who had just returned from the borders. He hastily walked over. “Greetings, Your Highness.”
The seemingly low-rank eunuch stopped clapping his hands and straightened his robes. He removed the eunuch’s cap and tossed it aside. Currently, his bearing was completely different from before. His true appearance had also been revealed. He was not as young as it seemed earlier. In fact, he had a weathered look. This was to be expected since he had spent many years on the battlefield. This person was none other than Liu Bing, the Fourth Prince. Liu Bing cupped his fists at Lu Zhou. “Your methods are breathtaking, old mister… Li Yunzhao is at least a Six-leaf Nascent Divinity Tribulation realm elite. And yet, he couldn’t even take a single hit from you.”
“You’re Liu Bing, the Fourth Prince?” Lu Zhou asked.
“I am.”
“Are you planning on standing up for Li Yunzhao?” Lu Zhou could sense that Liu Bing’s aura was not particularly dense. On the surface, it did not seem like he had a profound cultivation base.
“I’ve been admiring you for a long time, old mister…” Liu Bing said with a smile, “I have no intention of standing up for him. He deserves this. However, you’ll have to consider the dog’s master before beating a dog. Li Yunzhao is the Imperial family’s dog. At the end of the day. I can’t just stand by and do nothing.”
“That’s good.” Lu Zhou stroked his beard and nodded. ‘At least, he’s tactful…’
The reputation of the Evil Sky Pavilion was widespread. Although Liu Bing had spent his days on the battlefield, he had heard a great deal about the Evil Sky Pavilion.
Both of Lu Zhou’s attacks had completely suppressed Li Yunzhao. Liu Bing was amazed by it. The Evil Sky Pavilion truly lived up to its name.
“How do you plan on punishing him, old mister?” Liu Bing asked respectfully.
Li Yunzhao bowed down. He had a pained expression on his face. He did not feel this bad even when he was hit by Lu Zhou’s attacks. However, since the prince had spoken, he knew he would not be able to escape this calamity. Who knew he would meet the Fourth Prince here.
Lu Zhou looked at Li Yun Zhao and said, “Why do I need to report to you about what I intend
to do?”
“…” Liu Bing was slightly stunned. He was taken aback by this question. “This old villain.. He’s even more troublesome than rumored. Not only is his cultivation base terrifyingly profound, but his temper is quite peculiar as
well!”
In the end, Liu Bing said, “That’s going too far, old mister… You’re free to do whatever you want to Li Yunzhao. I won’t stop you.” Liu Bing took a step back, making it clear that he had no intention of interfering.
Li Yunzhao frowned deeply, “Your Highness…”
Liu Bing glanced at Li Yunzhao and said, “The Prince of Zhenxi and I campaigned in the west together. We’re not the best of friends, but we were comrades. However, you tore his family apart. I can’t protect you from this.” After he finished speaking, he looked away.
Li Yunzhao bowed and addressed Lu Zhou, “Your cultivation base is unfathomable, old mister, and I willingly accept defeat… I’ll accept whatever punishment you mete out.” When Lu Zhou heard this, he stroked his beard and nodded. ‘Now that’s a tactful person.’ If Li Yunzhao was defiant, he planned to hit him with more Thunderblast until Li Yunzhao surrendered. “Very well,” Lu Zhou continued to say, “Are you willing if I destroy your cultivation base?” At the same time, a Thunderblast Card appeared in his palm. He waited for Li Yunzhao’s answer silently. Li Yunzhao’s expression turned sour. Destroying his cultivation base was no different from killing him. He did not expect this old villain of the Evil Sky Pavilion to be this merciless. How could he be willing to accept this?
Lu Zhou noticed the change in Li Yunzhao’s expression and asked, “You’re unwilling?” “I dare not. However, I have something to say. I’m sure you’ll change your mind after listening to what I have to say, old mister,” Li Yunzhao said.
‘Hm?’ The Fourth Prince, Liu Bing, turned around and looked at the old eunuch curiously. He did not have a deep impression of Li Yunzhao. After all, he spent most of his time on the battlefield. He had only met Li Yun Zhao a few times since his return from the borders. Initially, he had planned to get familiar with Li Yunzhao so he would have a source by the Empress Dowager’s side. Alas, who knew Li Yunzhao to be filled with schemes?
“Speak.”

“I’ve been serving the Empress Dowager for 50 years… Deep inside the palace, the Empress Dowager merely trusts a handful of people, and I’m one of them. The Empress Dowager is in possession of a certain item that I think has something to do with the Evil Sky Pavilion,” Li Yunzhao said.
‘Hm?’ Lu Zhou’s heart stirred. He remembered that the information on the old parchment drawing was pointed toward the palace. ‘Is it possible that the item is truly in the palace? If it’s true, then, it’s a pleasant surprise!”
“Continue,” Lu Zhou said.
Li Yunzhao nodded and said, “It’s a book without words… It was left behind in exchange for the Imperial family’s token that you stole… I mean, took.” He quickly coughed to hide his slip of the tongue. Was he seeking death by saying such words at such a perilous time? Hong Fu was exasperated on Li Yun Zhao’s behalf. He thought that the heavens must have been blind for someone like this to be the eunuch trusted by the Empress Dowager’s side and managed to survive until now.
At this moment, Liu Bing interjected, “Are you betraying the Empress Dowager? If that’s the case, death will only be waiting for you.”
Li Yunzhao shook his head and said, “There are many things you do not understand, Your Fourth Highness, since you’ve just recently returned from the battlefield, allow me to explain. When the Imperial family’s token was lost back then, everyone had searched for it. The Empress Dowager was the only one who knew that it was in the Evil Sky Pavilion’s hands. The Imperial token was originally kept by His Majesty, but it was left to the Empress Dowager’s care due to His Majesty recuperating. When the token was lost, the Empress Dowager was beside herself with anxiety, and she sent someone to the Evil Sky Pavilion…”
Lu Zhou was about to say that he had no recollection of this. However, he suddenly remembered the lost memories. Therefore, his expression did not change. He did not speak as well. The more he spoke, the more mistakes he would make. If he did not speak, he would make no mistakes.
Li Yunzhao said, “Back then, old mister, you didn’t surrender the imperial token, but you sent a blank Heavenly Writing scroll.”
Realization dawned on Lu Zhou suddenly. That blank Heavenly Writing scroll must have been the remnant piece of the Open Heavenly Writing. Lu Zhou was not interested in knowing the reason behind this, he only asked, “Where’s the scroll?”
Li Yunzhao replied, “It’s still in the palace.”
At this juncture, Lu Zhou finally understood that Li Yunzhao wanted to exchange the blank Heavenly Writing Scroll in order to save his cultivation base. Coincidentally, Lu Zhou had already given the imperial token to Jiang Aijian. Jiang Aijian had used it to open the warehouse, and the key was back in the imperial family’s hands. It seemed like it was fated.
Lu Zhou did not turn around. He said, “Zhao Yue…”
“Yes, Master.”
“You’re the victim here… You’ll decide his fate.”
Since Lu Zhou had already discovered the blank Heavenly Writing scroll was in the palace, he had many ways to retrieve it. He had no need for Li Yunzhao. For this reason, he gave Zhao Yue permission to decide on Li Yunzhao’s fate.
Everyone looked at Zhao Yue.
SaVC
Zhao Yue bowed and said, “What belongs to you should be taken back, master… He did somehow save my life. If he’s lying about that, we can always kill him in the future.” “That’s right.” Little Yuan’er nodded vehemently.
When Lu Zhou heard Zhao Yue’s words, he was pleased that this disciple of his had turned out this way. She was finally considerate enough to think about her master.
Little Yuan’er, on the other hand, was still a work in progress.
“Li Yunzhao… Did you hear that?” Lu Zhou asked.
“I understand… This time tomorrow, I’ll be bringing the item to you, old mister,” Li Yunzhao said.
At this very moment, from the tower opposite the Prince of Qi Mansion, a hidden golden weapon was fired.
The target was Li Yunzhao.
The assassin vanished as soon as he fired the weapon.
Li Yunzhao’s expression turned unsightly. He flipped backward in the way as energy erupted from his body,
The Fourth Prince, Liu Bing, frowned and said, “Li Yunzhao, it seems like you’re completely trusted!”
