Night fell and everything was silent. Under the cover of night, an inconspicuous gray bird flew past the dark imperial city.

Suddenly, a streak of Source Energy accurately and swiftly struck the grey sparrow. A black shadow gracefully leaped up and caught the unconscious grey sparrow. It landed silently and squatted on the magnificent roof of the Imperial City. It handed the bird to the black-clothed man beside it and whispered, "Brother Nan, this messenger sparrow seems to have come from the direction of Clear City."

The other man in black frowned and pulled out the note tied to the bird's leg. The more he read, the tighter his frown became.

[The Seventh Prince is already in the belly. Han Xing Ling Mu is among them. The other man in white says that he is from the imperial city and begs Your Majesty to come quickly.]

"Brother Nan, this …"

The man in black narrowed his eyes and tied the note back to the bird's leg. "The Seventh Prince is still alive."

"What?!

He's not dead?! "

When the man in black heard this news, it was as if he had heard something earth-shattering. He almost jumped up and said in a shrill voice.

The man in black who was holding the gray bird was startled by his voice. He immediately slapped the back of his head and scolded in a low voice, "F * ck, keep your voice down. Aren't you afraid of being discovered?"

"Hiss — Then … Then, Brother Nan, should we tell Head Chief about this?"

"No, let's wait and see. When the imperial palace makes a move, we'll act according to the situation."

The man in black glared at him fiercely and said in a low voice, "Don't forget where you are from. Don't keep calling me Zongduozhu. Hurry up and wake this sparrow up. Call all our brothers and we'll make a trip to Qing City."

"Okay, okay, okay."

As soon as he finished speaking, the black shadow nimbly jumped down from the roof. He landed silently and quickly disappeared into the night.

It wasn't just the man in black who was taking advantage of the night to do things. At this time, Bai Chen also took advantage of the night and covered his body with darkness origin power. He carefully avoided the guards in Lu Chengfu's small courtyard and sneaked into Lu Chengfu's bedroom.

On the big bed that could fit three to five people without feeling crowded, Lu Chengfu was sprawled all over his body and sleeping soundly in only his underwear. There was still sparkling saliva at the corner of his mouth.

Bai Cheng didn't pay too much attention to Lu Chengfu and went straight into the study in the bedroom. A cold light appeared in his hand. It was the tip of the Horsetail Whisk, just in case.

He waited on the roof for half the night without moving. His legs were numb from squatting before he finally saw a secret door in the study. In the middle of the night, after confirming that Lu Chengfu was sound asleep, he quietly entered the bedroom.

Bai Chen, on the other hand, had prepared himself mentally. He was investigating a case, not doing anything sneaky!

The study room was filled with luxurious decorations. Bai Cheng groped around and finally found an incense burner. He lifted it gently and a dark doorway appeared beside the mahogany table. It was like the bloody mouth of a ferocious beast, without a trace of light.

The corners of Bai Chen's mouth curled up slightly. He quickly flashed into the darkness.

He activated the Nine Arts of the Fallen Immortal, and his golden eyes flickered. He saw everything clearly in the darkness. Along the way, there were scattered gold, silver, and rare treasures. Bai Chen snorted coldly in his heart.

Corrupt official!

Then, there was some faint light inside. He walked towards a small compartment in the secret bazaar. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. Bai Chen looked up and couldn't help but be speechless.

There were more than ten perfectly round and huge luminous pearls, each of which was priceless. How could a mere Qing City's City Lord have such considerable wealth?

In the small side room, there was a thick layer of dust on the bookshelf. The books were neat and tidy, as if no one had flipped through them for a long time. Bai Chen wasn't obsessed with cleanliness. He searched through the dusty books. What he was looking for now was clues about the palace coup back then.

"Damn it, why are there all these messy books? Ignorant and incompetent!" Bai Chen choked on the dust in the room and scolded Lu Chengfu as if venting his anger.

In the bedroom, Lu Chengfu, who was sleeping like a dead pig, sneezed, slurped his saliva, turned over, and continued sleeping. He had no idea that his most important small secret room had been broken into.

After a while, Bai Chen sat weakly in a pile of messy books and sighed helplessly. He had really hidden it too well.

Bai Chen looked at the bookshelf that he had messed up and still didn't give up.

Such an important thing must be here!

I don't believe that I can't find you.

Bai Chen lay down without a care for his image and looked at the bottom of the bookshelf.

F * ck!

I'm really a genius!

Bai Chen praised himself in his heart without the slightest bit of modesty. He pulled out a thick black iron box from the bottom of the bookshelf and inspected it from top to bottom. Other than the strangely shaped groove at the top of the box, there was not a single gap.

Looking at the pattern of the sun, moon, and stars in the groove, what he was looking for must be here.

There were no flaws or gaps in the body of the box. It must be sealed with a spell and could not be broken with brute force. Otherwise, the items inside would be destroyed. Only by embedding the token in the groove could it be opened.

Bai Chen thought for a long time, but to no avail. He could only leave quickly.

Bai Chen quickly packed up the books, threw the black iron box into Tanlu's space, and quickly left. He turned the incense burner back to its original position and looked at Lu Chengfu, who was still motionless, before closing the door and leaving.

Bai Chen took advantage of the quiet night to sneak into his room. After all this trouble, Bai Chen was also a little tired, but he didn't fall asleep immediately. He sat cross-legged on the bed, held his breath, and focused, and used the Nine Arts of the Fallen Immortal.

Knock, knock …

There was a soft knock on the door, and Bai Chen suddenly woke up from his meditation.

The tip of the Floating Dust Sword was about to stab out, but his divine sense sensed that it was just an ordinary person outside the door and stopped.

Bai Chen felt a lingering fear. When he was meditating, he was the most vigilant. It would be troublesome if he accidentally hurt someone else.

"Who is it!"

A timid girl's voice sounded outside the door. "Mr. Bai?

My name is Zuo 'er, and I am Sir's servant. Just now, this servant heard some movement in Sir's room and thought that the door was not closed, so I came to take a look. Please forgive me for disturbing Sir's rest. "

Bai Chen heaved a sigh of relief, got out of bed, and opened the door. In front of him was a servant girl who was shorter than him. She was looking at Bai Chen with wide eyes, seemingly stunned.

"No, I should be the one who woke you up. Quickly go and rest. Don't worry about me."

Zuo 'er didn't expect Bai Chen to open the door. She thought that she was going to be scolded for her rash behavior, but Bai Chen didn't scold her. Instead, he spoke gently and smiled.

Zuo 'er felt that this gentleman must be a good person.

Suddenly, Zuo 'er caught a glimpse of Bai Chen covered in dust. She screamed and quickly asked Bai Chen what had happened.

Bai Chen smiled awkwardly. He couldn't say that he sneaked around and turned the secret room upside down.

"Oh, it's nothing. I couldn't sleep just now, so I took a walk in the courtyard. I didn't pay attention and fell down and rolled a few times."

Bai Chen couldn't convince himself with such a ridiculous reason.

But Zuo 'er lowered her head and said yes, then immediately ran out.

"Then I'll get water for you to take a bath!"

Then she ran away. Bai Chen didn't have time to say no, so he had to go back to his room and wait.

He didn't know that Zuo 'er's face, which was as beautiful as an apricot flower, was still blushing beautifully while trotting.

The next day.

"Miss Zuo, Miss Zuo, let me do it. I want to have a try."

In the morning, in the small kitchen, Bai Chen looked at Zuo 'er seriously. He had an apron around his waist and a spatula in his hand. His long hair was tied into a ponytail, which made him look fresh and neat.

Zuo 'er blushed and tried to grab the spatula in Bai Chen's hand. "No, sir. You're precious. Let us do this kind of rough work."

Unfortunately, she couldn't reach Bai Chen's hand. Zuo 'er jumped in front of Bai Chen, trying to get the spatula.

"Uh … you, what are you doing?" Lu Qilian and the others had heard the noise and saw this scene as soon as they came in.

Bai Chen held Zuo 'er's waist with one hand, afraid that she would accidentally fall. He raised the spatula in his hand high to prevent Zuo' er from reaching it.

Anyway, the scene was very messy and their actions were very intimate. Lu Qilian was very confused.

Lu Qilian had a strange expression on his face and stepped out of the kitchen step by step. "Sorry to disturb you. Goodbye."

Then he ran away as fast as he could.

Bai Chen's face darkened. He shouted helplessly in his heart, "This young man is not what you think!"

Ling Fan, Han Xing, and Ling Mu were also outside the door. When they saw this scene, they shook their heads and joked with Bai Chen.

Ling Mu: "Lecher."

Ling Fan: "Congratulations."

Han Xing: "…"

Bai Chen wanted to cry but had no tears. This time, he couldn't clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

Bai Chen was already familiar with Zuo 'er and knew that she was the one who took care of their daily necessities. Bai Chen had a sudden impulse and wanted to try cooking this morning, but Zuo' er refused to let Bai Chen do it. Thus, there was this blunder.

After a flustered explanation, except for Bai Chen and Zuo 'er, everyone couldn't help but laugh. How could they not know what kind of person Bai Chen was? Of course, they were just joking.

In the end, with Lu Qilian's permission, Zuo 'er reluctantly handed the spatula to Bai Chen.

After Bai Chen entered the kitchen, everyone sat in the courtyard. Zuo 'er was still worried. "I don't think Mr. Bai can do it. Young Master, why don't I go and help him?"

Lu Qilian drank his tea calmly and said, "Mr. Bai is not an ordinary person. How can he not know how to cook? Let's just wait."

Lu Qilian had a crazy trust in Brother Bai.

Ling Fan also smiled and said, "It's okay. What can a person like him do …"

Before he finished speaking, the small kitchen behind them suddenly roared. Then, with a loud bang, the entire kitchen exploded with a huge white light.

All of a sudden, the entire kitchen exploded …

The kitchen exploded …

Exploded …

The four people in the courtyard were all stunned. For a moment, they didn't realize what had happened.

Lu Qilian spilled the tea in his hand. He didn't even notice that the tea spilled on Han Xing who was beside him. Han Xing's eyes widened. He was just as shocked as Ling Fan. The teacup in his hand was crushed in shock. Ling Mu wanted to say something but stopped. He didn't know what to say.

At this moment, Bai Chen, who was still elegant and elegant, walked out of the thick smoke. There was not a single speck of dirt on his body. It was as if nothing had happened. It was as if the terrible situation behind them was not caused by this immortal-like person in front of them.

Bai Chen's expression was calm. He coughed lightly to the stunned crowd and said, "I'm not in good condition today. I'll try again next time."

After that, he disappeared from everyone's sight and returned to the living room of the courtyard to study the black iron box.

Why would the kitchen explode if he was not in good condition?!

Why?!

At this moment, the guards of the Lu family also hurried over. When they saw the mess in the kitchen, they gasped. Seeing the dead atmosphere, they didn't dare to ask what had happened.
